TDCM Chapter 219: The Profound and Pure Yuan Chu
sugakookie TDCM 4th Aug 2022 4th Aug 2022 6 Minutes
Mu Qinghan didn't expect Yuan Chu to be able to analyse the situation so clearly. After relaxing a little, he couldn't help but to tease her, "Then according to you, I should only see my own merits, but wouldn't I end up conceited, harming myself in the end?"
Hearing this, Yuan Chu's smile became even brighter than the moon that shone on the horizon.
"How could that be? When a person learns to love himself, he'll work to perfect himself so that he can love himself even more. There'll forever be a balance in everyone's hearts and as long as you don't cover it up, you'll always be able to see your own true shortcomings."
Saying this, Yuan Chu walked to stand in front of Mu Qinghan and she stood on her tiptoes to pat his shoulder as she said in a sophisticated manner that didn't match her age.
"Anyway, there'll always be two sides to every matter and when it comes to conducting yourself, the key lies in the word 'balance'. If you're able to keep your heart balanced, then no matter what choices you make, you'll be able to stay rational and seize any points that'll be advantageous to you. I have high hopes for you!"
At first, Yuan Chu's words didn't seem like much but after careful analysis, every word was a gem!
At that moment, a white glint seemed to flash in his eyes. As his mental state relaxed, he even felt like he was about to advance a realm.
After looking dazedly at Yuan Chu for a while, he couldn't refrain from asking, "Then do you think that someone like me will be able to become the head of the Mu family?"
Yuan Chu smiled sweetly when she heard this.
"When you find the pillar of support in your heart, you'll naturally cast off your old self. In this world, the scariest thing is perseverance and the thing that can motivate people the most is conviction. If you believe that you can, then you'll definitely be able to. At least, that's what I believe!"
Mu Qinghan mulled over her words again and again. Then, his body became lighter, as if he'd become a different person.
"I think……I've already found my support, and I also know what I should believe in. Little Chu, thank you. Meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life!"
Meanwhile, Gu Qingke had shown Ye Chenyuan her prior conversation with Yuan Chu through the recording pearl, but Ye Chenyuan didn't have much of a reaction after seeing it.
Gu Qingke became a little anxious, "Chenyuan gege, now that you know what kind of person Mu Qingge is, will you still be together with her?"
Ye Chenyuan looked at her fixedly before asking her a question.
"Gu Qingke, I'll ask you once, and it'll also be the last time."
Gu Qingke's heart jumped inexplicably.
"Did you have a hand in that matter with Su Heyue?"
At this moment, Ye Chenyuan's expression was very cold and he was also a distance away from her. Gu Qingke opened her mouth, she didn't know how to reply him.
If she said that she didn't, Mu Qingge would've already told Ye Chenyuan about Su Heyue's words.
If she said that she did, then what right did she have to stand here?
Her gaze was drifting about and instead of her usual calm, for the first time in her life, she felt put on the spot. But Ye Chenyuan's gaze was still fixed on her and under that pressing gaze, Gu Qingke gritted her teeth before saying.
"I didn't know about that matter, Su Heyue had done it behind my back. I didn't expect her to be such a person and I've already cut all contact with her."
Saying this, she held her breath as she observed Ye Chenyuan's expression. Under the moonlight, his gaze was cold and he seemed to narrow his eyes slightly before he suddenly revealed a stunning smile.
Just as Gu Qingke heaved a sigh of relief, she heard Ye Chenyuan say word by word.
"Don't come and find me anymore in the future. From now on, we're strangers."
Gu Qingke's smile froze…… "W-What? What did you say?"
Ye Chenyuan took a step forward before saying, "Lady Gu, as the imperial grandson's consort, if you have the time to pay attention to others, why don't you focus on yourself a little more."
"If I hear you slander her again in the future……" Ye Chenyuan had a gentle smile on his face as he said, "then we'll become enemies."
After this chat with Yuan Chu, Mu Qinghan became more open-minded, but before he left, there was something that he wanted to know.
"Little Chu, who exactly is Ye Chenyuan to you?"
He didn't ask directly: Do you know that he likes you? And instead questioned her in this roundabout way.
Yuan Chu froze, suddenly feeling a little confused.
For so many years, she'd always been close with Ye Chenyuan, and it had remained that way till now. Wasn't their relationship already fixed?
Also, she'd already told Mu Qinghan that Ye Chenyuan was her disciple, so why was he still asking this?
However, Yuan Chu still gave this question some serious thought, then a smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
"He's my most important person."
Mu Qingge's heart was shaken by this reply. He observed Yuan Chu carefully and realised that there wasn't the slightest bit of shyness on her face. Instead, she was calm and there were hints of happiness. He then guessed that she'd yet to realise Ye Chenyuan's feelings.
There was a saying that the spectators will see the game better than the players. Any person who was in the situation wouldn't be able to see the situation clearly because they would've lowered their guard after years of knowing them. Someone will have to break this boundary……and he didn't want to be that person.
After thinking about it, he stood up with a smile on his face.
"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now……Yuan Chu."
Because he'd suddenly called out her name, Yuan Chu looked up at him and tilted her head slightly.
Seeing the cute look that she'd inadvertently revealed, Mu Qinghan couldn't refrain from reaching out to stroke her head.
"Sometimes, I don't know what to say about you. When you were comforting me before, I felt that you were very experienced for your age, but now I'm not very sure."
Yuan Chu laughed as she blinked her eyes, "Who stipulated that the old have to lack youthful vigour? Perhaps I've returned to my true self and am actually a wise old hag that only appears slow-witted?"
She feigned an aged voice, making Mu Qinghan smile.
He looked at Yuan Chu's clean and clear eyes. If he didn't understand her, he would think that there wasn't anything in her eyes, that they were like a white piece of paper.
But when he recalled Yuan Chu's bewitching eyes as she was saving him, and the insight that she'd occasionally revealed, he felt that her eyes contained everything in this world. She saw through everything, so in her eyes, everything in this world was in its initial form.
Knowing the world but not becoming a part of it, appearing simple but actually being quite deep. Yuan Chu……was really a mysterious person. It's no wonder that he felt like approaching her time and again.
With this thought, Mu Qinghan's smile turned bitter. He looked towards Yuan Chu as he said, "Actually, in the past, I've never had my own opinions because everything had been arranged by my family. However, after meeting you, I now have it……"
Yuan Chu's smile froze.
"I often feel that those five hundred days had passed by too quickly, just like the snap of a finger. You might not know this, but you have a charm that brings happiness to others. Be it combing your hair or preparing food for you, the process of doing all that was a kind of happiness."
Having said these, he seemed like he still had a lot to say but he held them in. As he looked at Yuan Chu fixedly, he ended up only saying one line.
"I hope to be able to see you when I come out, please take care, Little Chu."

Low key hoping Ye Chenyuan is listening in secretly


'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' will be "worth the wait", according to Disney's CEO Bob Iger.
The movie - which is directed by J.J. Abrams - will be released on December 18th this year, much to the delight of the franchise's fans, who have been waiting for a new film for ten years.
He said: "As one of the few people allowed to visit the set during filming... and one of the fewer who's seen most of the footage... I can assure the millions of 'Star Wars' fans who have spent the last decade hoping for a new movie this one will be worth the wait."
The company's chairman also confirmed that the first instalment of a trilogy of films based on the characters would be released next year.
In the Disney's annual shareholder's report as obtained by GetYourGeekOn, he added: "And it's only the beginning of a new era of exceptional 'Star Wars' storytelling.
"Next year we'll release our first standalone movie based on these characters, followed by 'Star Wars: Episode VIII' in 2017, and we'll finish this trilogy with 'Episode IX' in 2019."
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' promises a stellar cast including Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson and Lupita Nyong'o whilst 'Star Wars' veterans, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford will also make their return.

Has anyone had experience adding email subheaders in Marketo? I'm curious if there are any articles, tutorials, or practices to implement these.
Do you mean preheaders? There are a bunch of Community threads on this topic.
Yes, preheaders. I will look into the tutorials. Thank you!
I'm having a bit more trouble than usual looking for support tickets or tutorials. Does anyone have any links or URLs to share for implementing preheaders?
What is it you're looking for with pre-headers? We add an extra HTML table above our main content table for our pre-header. We have our clickable teaser text and the system token for the online version. The code that we use and what it looks like in an email is below.
Let me know if this isn't what you were looking for.
This is very helpful! Question, in edit mode, do you select "view as web page" or do you leave that unselected? If we are using this code, do we need to select "View as web page"?
No, you wouldn't need to select "View as web page" in edit mode. The piece of code I gave you already has the View as Web Page System token in it. But you can delete the View with Images portion out of the piece of code I gave you if you want to use the one from Edit Mode.
Thanks, Dayna. We have incorporated this preheader on a webinar email scheduled for next week.

Meghan Markle May Just Persuade You to Adopt an Animal
Duchess of Sussex writes a foreword for Mayhew Patronage
By Mike Vulpo Jun 17, 2019 9:51 PMTags
CharityRoyalsDo-GooderMeghan Markle
Meghan Markle may have just persuaded us to adopt a new furry friend.
In between raising baby Archie, the Duchess of Sussex was able to write a foreward for Mayhew's annual report where she expressed her support for adopting and rescuing animals in need.
"As a proud rescue dog owner, I know from personal experience the joy that adopting an animal into your home can bring," she shared. "The role that we, as people, play in rehoming and rescuing these animals is vital, but the role of organizations such as Mayhew is unparalleled."
Meghan continued, "What initially struck me about Mayhew specifically is their community based approach not simply on rehoming animals, but in the preventative care that inhibits these cats and dogs from ending up in shelters in the first place."
For those who may not recall, Mayhew is an animal shelter and charity that was chosen as one of Meghan's four initial causes she hopes to support as a royal.
Watch: See Meghan Markle & Prince Harry's Unreleased Photo
"The choice to adopt a pet is a big decision that comes with much responsibility but infinite return on investment. It will undoubtedly change your life," she wrote.
So what can royal watchers do to show their support?
Meghan encourages getting involved in "whatever way you can." For some, that may be a pet adoption but for others, it could simply be volunteering.
"We are all interconnected and through these animals, we find an even greater link to community and the part we can play," she shared. "I am proud to support Mayhew and to work alongside them as they continue to improve the lives of animals and people, to create more supportive and compassionate communities both in London and internationally."
Other charities Meghan has supported includes The National Theatre, The Association of Commonwealth Universities and Smart Works.

Ok, I don't know about any of you, but I've always had the problem of finding a sugar cookie recipe that doesn't spread out. One that I can mess about with, make shapes and decorate without worrying about it spreading out or being too soft and falling apart. Well, I finally found one.
Awhile back, I was in the depths of Pinterest and I happened to pass a recipe that sounded decent, so I attempted it, mostly following the recipe. I ended up changing it slightly, and got what I consider the best sugar cookie for decorating. Although it isn't the sweetest, it's on the floury side, I like it because it doesn't spread out and it isn't too sweet for icing. Therefore, for my purposes, it was perfect. Since finding the recipe, I've used it a few times and finally took photos to post it here. Recently, I made them for Gage's birthday party (will be posted in the next couple weeks).
Hello! This past New Year's Eve was a big one for me, I had my now boyfriend's family coming to my house for dinner and dessert and had to think of some sort of celebration dessert that would make tons of servings that everyone would love. My head, of course, flew first to my favorite bar recipe of all time, my cookie bars, but the only problem I could see was the amount of butter and the limited portions for our guests. And for at least three teenagers being there, that just wasn't going to cut it. So, I took a chance and decided to go the 'new' route. If I didn't have a good recipe that made tons, why not find/make one?
I'm not quite up to the entire making your recipe from scratch quite yet, as I am still exploring the basics of some cooking skills. This being said, if I see a recipe,there is a 95% chance I'll base it off the recipe and call it good enough. This past New Year's was a perfect example of that. I decided on these RASPBERRY confetti cookies, but I didn't have some of the called ingredients, you know, like raspberry jello. But they turned out well so therefore, mission accomplished.
For Salem's party, we also had some fun treats like these Minnie and Mickey Oreo Pops as well as Bow Pasta Salad and later, the Minnie and Mickey Fondant Cakes.
These pops were super easy in theory, but a little harder to actually make. They tasted delightful though.
Hello! The other day I was expecting company, so I decided it would only be right if I baked some sort of good. Of course, my first idea was my quick and delicious cookie bars. I begin to start the recipe and preheat the oven when I realize, we are out of butter. Of course, cookie bars cannot be made without butter, can they? So I decided to try. I used only banana instead of the butter and continued making the recipe. Not sure what to expect, when this beauty of a cake-y cookie came out, I was delighted. No one could stop eating these, and it's probably more than half the fat my cookie bars are. Of course, that likely won't stop me from making either again.
Hello! Beautiful day out when you have leftover frosting. There is just so much to do with it.. Eat it straight, have an excuse to bake a cake, mix it into a variety of things… Or you know, bake some frosting cookies.
Okay. Back to the recipe… This recipe is a simple sugar cookie recipe turned into cookie bars. The recipe is not quite mine, I got it from Pillsbury and slightly altered it. Original recipe can be found here.
This recipe has the full-fat goodness of cookie dough. Of course, there are quite a few substitutes you could do to make it slightly healthier.
I am still continuously cooking… I may or may not have made cookies despite it being Passover and I'm not allowed to eat anything that rises… Unfortunately, I'm not very good at remembering not to eat bread and baked goods… So of course, I made cookies. These cookies are just how I like them, nice and crispy or warm and soft when they are straight out of the oven. My favorite part is the fact you can always play around with them. Add mini chocolate chips… Or swipe a little bit of nutella in the batter and some white chocolate chips and you have chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. There are endless ideas and you already have a base recipe. Assuming you enjoy crispy cookies as much as I do… If not, I will post a recipe for chewy cookies some other day. For now, we shall enjoy the crunchy goodness of this sugary treat.


Facebook wants you to sit in your bedroom wearing a headset and take a virtual vacation with faraway friends and family. Or use your smartphone's camera to spruce up your dinky apartment, at least virtually.
Facebook on Tuesday, 18th April 2017, launched a mission to make smartphone cameras windows to augmented reality, focusing on what people have in hand instead of waiting for high-tech eyewear.
While kicking off the leading social network's annual developers conference in the heart of Silicon Valley, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg called smartphone cameras an initial and promising platform for augmented-reality features in applications tailored to synch with the social network.
He noted an array of things that could easily fill their roles virtually, such as game boards or television screens, with users being able to easily play or view without need for physical versions.
An upbeat Zuckerberg, who fired off jokes, also showed how digital plants, animals, masks and more could be added to real scenes viewed through smartphone cameras in the same manner that games such as Pokemon Go let people catch animated creatures in the world around them.
"Augmented reality will help us mix the digital and the physical in new ways," Zuckerberg said during a keynote presentation. "We are all about extending the physical world online." Previously, Facebook had been focused strongly on virtual reality as the next big computing platform, particularly using Rift headgear made by its Oculus unit.
Vanishing message application Snapchat more than a year ago began letting users add digital decorations to real-world photos with a "Lenses" feature.
Since the feature launched, "we've become puppies, puked rainbows, face-swapped with our best friends – and begun to explore how Lenses can change the world around us," parent company Snap said in a blog post.
On Tuesday Snapchat added the ability to "paint the world around you in 3-D" with taps of smartphone camera screens. Facebook has a habit of cloning successful Snapchat features in its applications. Facebook also used the developers conference to introduce a test version of a virtual-reality (VR) application that lets people in different locations socialize in virtual worlds using Oculus Rift headgear.
Facebook Spaces lets Rift users "hang out" with friends in virtual worlds as if they were in the same room in the real world, according to a demonstration by Rachel Franklin, who heads the social VR team at the California-based firm. "We have only just scratched the surface of social virtual reality technology," she said.


There comes a time when we decide to share in a permanent relationship with a partner, fiancé, or friend. Marriage is looked at in the Church as a binding covenant between two people. It is to be taken seriously because of the ties that it creates between partners.
With the busyness of couples today, as well as sometimes the distance between many, more time is required in preparation. The first of the steps to this sacrament is make a contact with the pastor one year in advance of the wedding date. The initial appointment with the pastor begins the process. Subsequent appointments can be made with a pastoral delegate or a parish married couple trained in marriage preparation through the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
Couples need to provide baptismal certificates within 6 months of the marriage, witnesses that can testify to their freedom, and the couple needs to provide their own witness to their understanding of marriage. The Liturgy needs to be prepared involving the music minister and members of their own family or wedding family. If a couple requires a dispensation, additional affidavits will be needed. And if a party of the couple needs an annulment, this will add as much as a year more to the preparation time. This can be discussed at the time of or after the time of the initial appointment.
We are here to work with you though along your journey faith together. We try to understand how important the blessing of the Church is for you at this time in your life. Call the Parish Office (414-464-5033) for an appointment, as needed for the couple by the pastor. Preparations for weddings and marriage vary.

Sandbox Parenting
lizjbecker
Her loud, clear voice cut through the din of children's babble and parent conversation around us.
I stood near the edge of the large rectangular play area, my infant son in a carrier as my 2-year-old daughter played happily in the cool sand.
"What did I tell you to do when someone tries to take something from you?" this young mother asked a small boy in the sand pit who looked to be around 4 or 5 years old. He averted his eyes. His body tensed and turned inward as if he were trying to make himself smaller.
I waited for the second half of the sentence, the familiar refrain told to children everywhere, to practice patience, to share, to play well with others.
"Hold on tighter," she continued, her voice raised higher. "And whatever you do, don't let go."
Her words landed with the weight of bricks. I noticed a few other heads turn, a few other sets of adult eyes register surprise.
I looked at her. She was young, in her 20s, wearing the typical cool relaxed mom uniform of leggings, a t-shirt, and a messy bun. I searched her face for a wink, some trace of laughter in her voice or eyes. There was none. She focused on her son, and the message was obvious. She was disappointed because he had given up a communal playground toy without a fight.
As a rule, I try to avoid playground snap judgment.
There's too much missing backstory. The mother who snaps aggressively at her kids may be going through trouble in her marriage or a loss in her family, or simply existing on too little sleep and not enough help.
The woman on her phone might be on the lookout for a crucial work email or an acceptance letter from a graduate school. Maybe she's just done, mentally and emotionally, and needs a 5-minute social media reprieve from her real life while her children play.
There's a lot we don't know about the inner lives of the people we see at the playground.
But I couldn't let this woman, or her words, go. They followed me the rest of the morning, as I brushed sand off my daughter's feet and loaded her into her stroller. I heard them echo in the car ride home, and as I spread peanut butter on bread for lunch.
They were in my ear as I went to sleep. Even by the next morning, they remained stubbornly there, like a splinter lodged in my skin.
I've been trying to sort through her words, that short sentence, to understand just what about it bothers me so much.
Of course, I feel shocked. It's hard for me to understand why anyone would choose to raise their children with such a worldview, a grabby, antagonistic mentality where kindness is equated with weakness.
I'm sad for her shy boy, who was scolded for giving up a toy. He did the right thing, by standards of decency and compassion, and she made him feel inadequate for it.
But more than my gut reaction, more than my specific empathy for the child involved, I think it bothers me and has stuck in my mind like a grain of sand because something about it doesn't feel like an isolated incident.
There's been a pendulum shift lately.
These shifts happen whenever progress happens, particularly in periods where progress leaps forward. The entrenched parts of our world always try to course correct. They want to pull us back down into old, uglier habits. A few nasty voices will always try to shout louder than a thousand voices of hope and change.
Progress happens, and there are always those who consider it a failure.
There are always those who think the past is better than the present, who talk of the "good old days" and the failings of the current generation. They ignore all of the ways we're better, our strides toward tolerance and equality and moral reckonings, and instead smirk at what they think is soft or weak.
I didn't watch Roseanne when it was on 20 years ago, and I haven't watched the reboot. I do know there was recently a controversial scene where the character of Roseanne Connor calls her granddaughter an "entitled little [b-word]" and shoves her head under the kitchen faucet.
This scene was intended to be an uproarious moment of catharsis, to elicit laughs from viewers who feel today's youth deserve that kind of comeuppance, who believe that kids today are spoiled and entitled and in need of some physical and verbal old-school discipline.
I hear that kind of derision lobbed at youth a lot when people suggest that participation trophies ruined an entire generation. They suggest young people are spineless narcissists who don't understand the value of honest work. They label us "helicopter parents," say we don't discipline enough and are too involved with our children's lives.
Every generation questions the generation who comes next.
That's natural. What feels different is the level of vitriol present right now, the backlash, the rejection of anything perceived as weak or soft.
There's a group of people who seem determined to go the opposite direction. They want to raise children the "old school" way, with toughness and old-fashioned parenting values. Boys who will play with trucks and girls who will play with dolls regardless of what they actually want or desire in their souls. Kids who either win or lose, who take what's theirs without consideration for others.
There's a dangerous rip current below the surface of our days.
There's an idea that we have left behind a golden era, that even with all the strides we've made, the present represents a failure. Some believe that the only way to right the ship again is to return to a harsher, more structured world. I felt that current ripple through that mother's words, and maybe that's why I can't get them out of my head.
Our present is not perfect. Not every change is good. Progress can be bumpy. It's not always a straight line. However, the end result of change is always and has always been a kinder, better world.
Our children are the key to ensuring progress moves forward.
I want to raise a "soft" daughter and son. If I'm lucky, they will give instead of taking. If I'm really lucky they will never know violence. I want these soft children of mine to make the world softer.
I want them to feel entitled, entitled to a better, more fair and tolerant world. I'm sad that this isn't a universal hope. For some parents, a sandbox, like the world, is a sharp, pointed place where the one who holds on tightest wins.

Fabulous is probably my favourite word. When I was on the cusp of turning 50 I had really mixed feelings – do I duck it and pretend to be 49 for years, or do I embrace it. I decided to go with the latter and to be fabulous at 50 and beyond.
Words are very important to me. I am writing a book about how single words have changed my life, and the word Fabulous would have to be included. This time last year I had a breakdown – a hard-earned one, and I can honestly say that embracing the fabulous has been a huge part of my journey.
I have been through a lot. A broken marriage, depression and numerous health issues which are still ongoing. The one thing I have learned is that the only person you can be is you. And it is your obligation to be the best you that you can be.
My favourite quote is this one from Dr Seuss.
When we are authentic we are fabulous.
So how do you embrace your Fabulousness.
There are 6 principles of fabulousness that I have figured out.
Being positive is another of those skills that you have to practice. Like any form of exercise it can be hard and frustrating at first.
The first time on the treadmill is hard, the second is harder, you feel awful, sore and sweaty, but ultimately you get it and start to feel fantastic. I only started walking (as a form of exercise) in my late forties. The first walk was so short, but after a short while I was clocking up the miles and I felt better.
Positivity is like that. Tap into positivity. Find your self daily affirmations – I am fabulous – and spend time around positive people – both online and off-line.
Inspiration is a wonderful thing. We all aspire to be better than we are and tapping into inspiration stretches us and makes us want to put the effort in to be a better version of ourselves. I find inspiration in my daily life, I also find it online by following people who I admire.
How many 'friends' do you have on Facebook? How many people do you follow? Follow people who you admire, and aspire to be like. Read books, listen to the radio and podcasts, put yourself in a place where you are inspired. But remember what you goal is – to be the best version of yourself.
We have a wonderful group on Facebook called Fabulous Woman – I go into the group every day, and sometimes more than once a day and get inspired by ordinary woman who are aspiring to be fabulous.
This is another biggie for me. Motivation. Where do you find the motivation to do what you do every day, and then where are you going to find the motivation to do even more?
Motivation is your reason for acting on something. Your reason for getting up and changing things. My motivation is simple – I never want to go back to being a quivering scared woman in a marriage that was hurting me. I want to be the best mom I can to my son and I want people to know that everyone deserves to be happy.
That is a big vision, I know. We also need to break it down and talk about daily motivations. Perhaps you need some incentives on a daily or monthly basis to do nice things for yourself. That sounds funny just saying it but woman generally put everyone first before they do something for themselves. Your motivation is to be the best you that you can be and I promise you this that everyone around you will benefit from you being fabulous.
So set yourself some goals and set up some treats and incentives.
I believe that everyone is creative. Some people paint or draw, and others might be creative in the kitchen or through crafts. I have been teaching crafts for many years and I just love the light that comes on when people are being creative.
It is simply fuel for the soul. We spend so much of our lives giving to others but we need to refuel. Eating well, drinking water and exercise are all important but being creative is essential.
You don't need a lot of money to get started. Simply start in your daily life. Rearrange furniture or ornaments, write in a journal, tap into your creative well.
Add it into your mix and you will become even more fabulous.
Networking is an essential pillar of fabulousness for me. When you say networking to some people, a switch goes off. They are not in business, don't have a business card and are not interested in getting up at 6 in the morning for a meet-up where business cards are swapped.
Networking is simple and it has been done since the beginning of time. You know that person that is connected to everyone? You know if you call them they will know someone who can help. She is a supreme networker.
We network in our daily lives every day and through this we create our circle – our network.
The thing to remember about networking is that it is relational not transactional. Networking is not about making a sale or a deal, it is simply about getting to know more people.
I love meeting new people, and simply getting to know them. Conversation is a great way of building relationships.
When you meet someone – tell them about you – not about what you do. Tell them what makes your heart sing.
Talk to people everywhere and build your network – you will be remembered for who you are that real authentic you.
Am I that one on Facebook who wears a crown and always talks about being fabulous, or am I a personal branding specialist? You will probably remember the crown but then at some stage when someone needs a personal branding specialist you might tell them about me.
We can use networking to surround ourselves with positive people who will motivate us, inspire us and spark our creativity too.
Now, I know that I like pretty party dresses. I feel great if my hair looks great and I do love make-up. But that is just me.
For many years I didn't embrace this side of me. I suffered from depression and cried so much that there was little point in make-up. I felt really ugly and fat because I listened to the criticism around me.
One day I made the decision to be fabulous and I need to tell you that I had to fake it for a while. Every day I got up and got dressed. I did my hair and accessorised. I took a make-up lesson and made a commitment to wearing make-up most days.
I feel that this is me – at my best, my most fabulous.
When I was all 'dolled-up' I felt better. I felt like the best version of me possible.
I just want to make a point here, that if you feel the best that you can be wearing jeans and a check shirt, that is ok too. What you want to tap into is dressing as you, to feel like the best of version of you.
It is a funny thing because when you tap into your fabulousness, people notice what you are wearing less, they notice how you feel and the energy you are putting out.
Facebook is now the largest 'country' in the world. Most of us are on Facebook and many of us are on other social media sites such as Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram. It is really important that when you are showing up – as the best you that you can be, you do this online as well as offline. These days the first connection with many people is not in person but online. Grow your network and show your positivity online.
This is an extract from a talk I recently presented at the Festive Ladies Afternoon Tea in Mayo.
It doesn't cost anything to be kind.
November 13 is World Kindness Day. I first came across the idea of random acts of kindness when I read Pay it Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde. Although this is a novel, the concept of simply doing something kind for someone else with no expectation of a return made a huge impact. The book, which was subsequently made into a movie starring Kevin Spacey told the simple story of a social studies teacher who set a project and a young man with a bright idea.
The task was to Think of an idea for world change, and put it into action.
The 12-year-old came up with the idea of doing something kind for three people. Simple things really, but things that made a difference. Instead of 'paying him back' he asked them to pay it forward but doing a favour for 3 people themselves. This resulted in a whole lot of kindness.
Random acts of kindness can take any sort of form. I am blessed to have been the recipient so many times. Just recently I received a slip from the postman to say that I had missed a delivery. I wasn't expecting anything. The parcel arrived on a week when I really needed a lift and I was delighted to find, some yummy sweets, a magazine and some sparkly bath salts along with a card from a dear friend.
When browsing art books (a bit of an obsession with me), I came across the concept of leaving a piece of art or a message in a public place for someone to pick up. Imagine coming across something really beautiful and knowing that a random act of kindness put it there, just for you.
My challenge to you, and to myself is to take a minute or two to be kind to a friend or stranger, especially on World Kindness Day – 13 November 2015. It doesn't cost much and can make a huge difference in someones day.
Take a visit to this awesome website the home of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. It is truly inspirational and the source of the fab graphic on this post.

Q: AngularJS Dropdown Multiselect I'm trying to use angularjs for dropdown with multiple selection.
Using 1 of them it works great, but if I need 2 dropdown in the same form, it doesn't get initialized. Here's an example http://jsfiddle.net/vUSPu/1221/, any kind soul could guide me on how to display 2 working dropdown? Thanks!

    <dropdown-multiselect pre-selected="member.roles" model="selected_items" options="roles"></dropdown-multiselect>

selected roles = {{selected_items | json}}

    <dropdown-multiselect pre-selected="member.roles" model="selected_items" options="roles"></dropdown-multiselect>

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['app.directives']);

app.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope){

                    for(var i=0; i<$scope.pre_selected.length; i++){                        $scope.selected_items.push($scope.pre_selected[i].id);
                    }
            };

            $scope.selectAll = function () {
                $scope.model = _.pluck($scope.options, 'id');
                console.log($scope.model);

                $scope.model=[];
                console.log($scope.model);
            };
            $scope.setSelectedItem = function(){
                var id = this.option.id;
                if (_.contains($scope.model, id)) {
                    $scope.model = _.without($scope.model, id);
                } else {
                    $scope.model.push(id);
                }
                console.log($scope.model);
                return false;
            };
            $scope.isChecked = function (id) {
                if (_.contains($scope.model, id)) {
                    return 'icon-ok pull-right';
                }
                return false;
            };
       }
   }
});

A: Your JSFiddle example is slightly different from the code you provided. Which one is reflecting what you need?
JSFiddle solution
You are repeating the ng-app="myApp" so when the second code runs the AngularJS app instance for myApp has already been initialized. To solve that you can just remove that second initialization and put the second dropdown within the first (and only) ng-app scope.
Code on question solution
Assuming you want to have two different applications running on your document you need to start it manually as Angular will detect just the first one. Something like this:

The Right Question to Ask About Google's Project Nightingale
Regulators should be focusing on exactly what Google plans to do with all this data.

On Nov. 11, the world learned about Project Nightingale—Google's secretive deal with Ascension, the largest nonprofit health system in the United States. Through this partnership, which began in 2018, Google gains access to the medical records of more than 50 million people in 21 states.
Since the Wall Street Journal first reported on it, journalists and regulators alike have been digging into the partnership. But they are asking the wrong questions about Project Nightingale. They have focused on whether Google is complying with health privacy laws, whether patients gave consent, and whether Google employees have access to medical records.
But corporations have long had access to millions of medical records, and patients are rarely informed. Even Google already had access to millions of patient records through relationships with more than a dozen health care partners, such as the Mayo Clinic, the University of Chicago, and the Cleveland Clinic. The difference between these arrangements and Google's deal with Ascension is merely its scale.
Regulators should instead be focusing on something else: exactly what Google plans to do with all this data. According to the company, it will use the information to enhance productivity and "support improvements in clinical quality and patient safety." Google says it will not use Ascension's data for other purposes. However, there is a distinction between the data itself and the knowledge Google gains from analyzing that data. This distinction gives the company wiggle room to export what it learns to other contexts. Google likely aims to mine Ascension's data and discover new markers of health it can apply outside the health care system—across its full suite of products—to infer consumers' medical conditions.
Patent documents filed in 2018 suggest that Google aspires to predict or identify health conditions in people who haven't even visited a doctor, via something called emergent medical data. Ascension's trove of health data can help it achieve that goal. Emergent medical data is health information inferred by artificial intelligence from mundane consumer behavior. Whenever we interact with technology, we leave behind digital traces of our behavior that serve as raw materials for companies that mine EMD.
A recent landmark study involving Facebook demonstrates the power of EMD mining. The study analyzed the health records and social media posts of 999 Facebook users. The results were surprising. Posts containing religious language, such as the words God, Lord, and Jesus, were strong predictors of diabetes. Finding that connection would have been impossible without A.I. and access to health records.
The fact that your health data ends up in the hands of large corporations is nothing new.
Through its partnership with Ascension, Google now has access to one of the largest medical databases in the world. It can train A.I. to comb through the data and identify words, phrases, and other variables that reflect the presence or early onset of disease. That may not sound bad if you assume Google will use what it learns to improve the health care system. However, Google will likely maintain its discoveries as trade secrets and export what it learns to other divisions of its parent company, Alphabet, which include Nest and Sidewalk Labs. Google's recently announced acquisition of Fitbit for $2.1 billion expands its hardware portfolio and EMD mining potential.
Companies love EMD because it allows them to transform mundane nonmedical data into sensitive health information. Facebook mines it from users to infer whether they are suicidal. Google is patenting a smart home that mines EMD from occupants' behavior to infer whether they are developing Alzheimer's disease or substance use disorders. But the real money isn't in health screening—it's in using EMD for consumer profiling and marketing. Insurance companies collect it to assess risk and calculate insurance premiums. Advertisers use it to deliver behavioral ads tailored to people's health conditions.
Having access to massive amounts of health data gives Google a clear advantage over competitors in the market for EMD. Consider Facebook, which makes health predictions based on user-generated content but lacks access to medical records. Before the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook was in talks to secure records from Stanford Medical School. After the story broke, Facebook decided not to pursue the deal. Consequently, instead of training its suicide prediction algorithms using medical records, Facebook must use proxies for suicide to train its software. As a result, the accuracy of its health predictions suffers.
In contrast, Google has access to medical records—50 million through the Ascension deal alone, which makes the study with 999 Facebook users seem minuscule by comparison. Combined with Google's expertise in A.I., courtesy of Alphabet's DeepMind subsidiary, the Ascension deal gives Google unrivaled power to find correlations between behavior and health conditions.
Google's other subdivisions provide services including Gmail, YouTube, Google Search, the Android operating system, and Google Docs. Moreover, Google is part of a much larger company, Alphabet, which has its own subdivisions including Nest, Sidewalk Labs, and Project Wing. Each division and service is a data mining operation that collects and analyzes consumer information. Thus, Project Nightingale's real danger is Google's ability to leverage its cache of health data to build an unrivaled consumer health surveillance empire spanning numerous industries and technologies.
There are currently no laws to stop it. In fact, the Protecting Personal Health Data Act, a law recently proposed by Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Lisa Murkowski, actually creates a safe harbor for products that mine EMD, including those that collect personal health data "derived solely from other information that is not personal health data."
The people who were treated in Ascension's hospitals and clinics may not have been warned that their information would be transferred to Google. That's bad. But the fact that your health data ends up in the hands of large corporations is nothing new. The more dangerous threat is corporations' ability to leverage A.I. and large medical databases to implement widespread consumer health surveillance.
Regulators from the Department of Health and Human Services are currently investigating Project Nightingale. They should press Google on how it plans to use the health inferences drawn from Ascension's data. HHS must acknowledge that EMD is a dangerous new type of health information, and Congress should implement laws to regulate it.

SENATE APPROVES BIPARTISAN RESOLUTION HONORING AMERICAN JOURNALISTS MURDERED BY ISIS, CONDEMNING TERRORIST GROUP
Resolution calls for unconditional release of all hostages held by ISIS
(Washington, DC) – On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bipartisan resolution honoring the lives of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff who were brutally murdered by the terrorist organization known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The resolution, which strongly condemns ISIS, is sponsored by U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ). The bipartisan resolution recognizes the significant contributions Foley and Sotloff made "through their courageous reporting of events in Libya, Syria and elsewhere," and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by ISIS.
"Our resolution mourns James and Steven, two outstanding journalists who pursued their profession under the most difficult and dangerous conditions in order to tell the stories that needed to be told," Senator Shaheen said. "We will never forget their bravery, and we must hold ISIS accountable for their despicable and cowardly acts of terrorism. The terrorists who murdered James and Steven are deeply mistaken if they think their barbaric acts will lessen America's resolve."
"James and Steven bravely risked their lives to reveal the truth about the tragedy in Syria, and this resolution honors their memory and the legacy of their life's work," Senator Ayotte said. "We must bring the terrorists responsible for these brutal murders to justice, and implement a strategy to defeat ISIS."
"It's important that we remember these individuals who lost their lives while fulfilling their calling to keep free societies informed of the threat of barbaric groups like ISIS," Senator Nelson said.
"Americans will never forget James Foley and Steven Sotloff, the lives they led as successful journalists, and how loved they were by their families and friends," Senator Rubio said. "Now that the U.S. Senate has honored these brave men, we must move forward with resolve to protect the American people from suffering a similar fate at the hands of these evil extremists."
"It is with a heavy heart and firm resolve that we pass this resolution mourning the loss of James Foley and Steve Sotloff at the hands of a barbaric, terrorist group," Senator Menendez said. "ISIL must be defeated, and I pledge to the Foley and Sotloff families that I will continue to lead my Committee and work with my colleagues in Congress to implement and resource a strategy to defeat ISIL for good.
The full text of the resolution is available here.

Lottery luck: Northeast Ohioans hope to hit it big with $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot
What would you do if you won $1.35 billion? For some, paying off debt is top of mind. For others, taking care of family is the first thought.
By: Camryn Justice
BROOK PARK, Ohio — What would you do if you won $1.35 billion? For some, paying off debt is top of mind.
"When I win this money, I'm going to pay off all of our bills. I'm going to buy a house, and we're going to help the kids," said a customer named Arthur.
For others, taking care of family is the first thought.
"My daughter in college, buy her a newer vehicle, invest it," said customer Teresa Keyes. But Keyes also followed up with plans for herself as well. "Travel from country to country, mhm, all around."
Northeast Ohioans are dreaming big, planning what they'd do if they won the second highest jackpot in Mega Millions history. The jackpot has been building since Oct. 18, now at $1.35 billion with a cash option of $724.6 million.
It's a prize that has people flocking to their local convenience stores and gas stations to get themselves a ticket—or tickets. Some will stop at the closest one to them, others have their go-to spots. A popular destination for lottery goers is the Shell gas station on Smith Road in Brook Park.
Past winners of smaller jackpots grace the walls of the station. $35,000 winner. $1,500 winner. $10,000 winner. So naturally, the gas station gets extra busy around drawing dates.
"A lot of people. I'm talking like at least 100, 200. A lot of people, they're always in and out of here because this—this is the luckiest spot," Keyes said.
Customer after customer declared the gas station their rabbit's foot—a way to get their ticket and add a little splash of luck into the mix.
Employees of the station know the reputation and knew that Friday would be a day of non-stop business at the counter. Logan Schmitz was warned but was baptized by fire on his second day of work.
"This is my second day," Schmitz laughed. "I was told not to come in today but here I am."
Schmitz knew to expect a steady stream of customers. He may not have been prepared for what that actually meant.
"It's been crazy. We've had a lot of customers coming in and a lot of people buying a lot of tickets and stuff like that. And it's been a hectic day," Schmitz smiled, not rattled by the workload. "It's a lot of friendly people coming in trying to win that big money."
Bad luck isn't welcomed at the Brook Park Shell, and even though the date—Friday the 13th—doesn't usually come with the idea of fortune behind it, there's actually a bit of it associated with the day.
Back in 2015, a $200 million ticket was sold at a Columbus drive-thru on Friday the 13th.
Customers at the Shell gas station left with their fingers crossed as they took their stacks of tickets home with them, hoping that tomorrow will see them strike gold. Even with 1 in 302 million odds, the hopeful lottery goers won't be deterred from dreaming of riches.
"Worth a shot kind of thing. Anything's possible," Arthur said.
And if they don't win on Friday, well, there's just one thing left to do.
"Just keep playing," Keyes said. "You're going to win sooner or later. If not now, then later."
The Mega Millions drawing will be held Friday at 11 p.m.

Q: Galeria com PHP e Javascript não funcionando corretamente Tenho uma função em JavaScript que monta uma galeria de imagens. Tinha essa função toda em Javascript e funcionava perfeitamente, agora eu preciso inserir o PHP para que o usuário possa fazer alterações nas imagens, e estou passando o parametro para essa função através do resultado da query em PHP. Ela deveria funcionar desta maneira: Titulo da galeria em cima, e abaixo 4 imagens diferentes do resultado da query. Abaixo outro titulo, e outras imagens. O problema é que PHP está passando o mesmo parametro para a função, fazendo com a função retorne: Titulo da galeria e abaixo 4 imagens identicas(o primeiro valor da query), Outro titulo da galeria e outras imagens identicas(o segundo valor da query). Como posso fazer para que a galeria carregue 4 imagens diferentes em uma galeria, e não 4 imagens iguais em diferentes galerias ?
Minha função em JS está assim:
function galerias(query){
    var galeria = new Array();
        //aqui eu pego a div que armazena as galerias
        var imgs = document.querySelector("#gallery");
        var x = 1;

            imgs.innerHTML += "
";
            imgs.innerHTML += "
";
            imgs.innerHTML += "
Galeria "+x+"
"

        //passo o valor da query para o array galeria
        for(var i = 0; i <= 3; i++){
            galeria[i] = query;
        }

        e insiro dentro da div
        for(var i = 0; i < galeria.length; i++){
            imgs.innerHTML += "";
        }

        imgs.innerHTML += "
";
        imgs.innerHTML += "
";
        imgs.innerHTML += "

Veja mais

";
        x++;

}

Minha função em php:
function consultarDados($query){
    $dbResult = array();
    $conexao = mysql_connect($this->host, $this->usuario, $this->senha);
    mysql_select_db($this->banco, $conexao);
    $rs = mysql_query($query, $conexao);
        while($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)){
            array_push($dbResult, $rows);
        }
    return $dbResult;
    mysql_close($conexao);
}

Insiro este php no window.onload da página:
<?php
    foreach($galeria_1 as $result){
        echo'galerias("'.$result['nome'].'");';
    }
?>

O resultado visual é este:

e deveria ser este:

A: Verifica se este array ($galeria_1) tem realmente todas as posições, por que parece que ele só tem uma posição.

New York Group to Draft Legislation for Recreational Weed
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo just took the state another step closer toward legalizing marijuana recreationally. He announced on Thursday the formation of a 20-person workforce to draft legislation specifically to allow recreational use by adults. The announcement came soon after a study conducted by the state health department into the effects of weed on public health, the economy, and the criminal justice system.
The report, which the department released last month, concluded that regulating a cannabis market would have so many positives that they would outweigh any potential negatives. In a statement, Cuomo, a Democrat, said, "As we work to implement the report's recommendations through legislation, we must thoroughly consider all aspects of a regulated marijuana program, including its impact on public health, criminal justice, and State revenue, and mitigate any potential risks associated with it."
When pressed for comment on the new legislative task force, a spokesperson for state Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan said that Republicans in the chamber are focusing on security, opportunity, and affordability. "Let the governor and New York City Democrats focus on legalizing drugs, but that is not where our attention is," he said.
Over the past year, marijuana advocates and lawmakers have been hard at work to tackle cannabis reform. The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, more formally Senate Bill S3040, came to life early in 2017 and proposes full legalization. It is still sitting in the Senate Finance Committee, however, and has yet to receive a vote.
Executive director of the New York chapter of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Empire State, David Holland, said, "We are not aware yet of all the different aspects that the governor is considering, but we look forward to reviewing them and making ourselves available to him for guidance in this area."

NORML has been working very closely with lawmakers to draft the bill that is currently still in committee. It remains cautiously optimistic about the new task force set up by Cuomo. The state Legislature made medical cannabis legal back in 2014, and last year, it further expanded the law to make it more convenient for patients to access and use cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Senator Diane Savino, the one responsible for sponsoring the legislation for medical pot in 2014, said that the state could benefit both socially and economically from legalizing marijuana recreationally. "The state of New York spends tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of dollars trying to regulate a market which most people have long since accepted is harmless in many respects," Savino said.
Savino, a Democrat representative of parts of Staten Island and Brooklyn, says that to legalize cannabis for adult use, the state will need to amend multiple facets of the law, including both the judicial and penal codes. The Governor's Office said that creating a regulated market would empower the state to control quality, set quantity and age restrictions, and lower racial disparities in criminalization.
Governor Cuomo, who is now running for his third term, has been advocating for the relaxing of pot-related crimes for years already. Investors in the industry have been among the biggest contributors to his campaign. Cuomo received $65,000 from MedMen Opportunity Fund II LP, based in Culver City, California, and filings show that an executive associated with the fund, Andrew Modlin, contributed another $25,000 toward his campaign.

Cynthia Nixon, Cuomo's rival for the Democratic nomination, has been loudly calling for complete legalization of cannabis, claiming outspokenly that criminalization of weed hurts minorities disproportionately. Alphonso David, counsel to the governor, will lead the new work force, which will also include experts in economics, public safety, and public health.

« Is Music Theory Redundant?
What are the main orchestral string instruments?
In the string section of a symphony orchestra you will normally find a number of violins, violas, cellos and a smaller number of double basses. These are the standard orchestral string instruments.
There are usually about 28 violin players in a symphony orchestra. Fourteen of them are "first violins" and twelve are "second violins". One of the first violins has the job of "leader" of the orchestra, which is a position of responsibility. Usually the leader is the one who gets to play any solos!
Violas number about ten. The viola is slightly larger than the violin and produces a warmer, mellower tone. The viola isn't often given solo melodies to play, but is more likely to be employed filling out the harmony.
The violin, viola and cello comprise the "violin family".
What other string instruments are there?
In addition to the four main string instruments, you can occasionally find a part for the harp. The harp is very different from the other string instruments, because the player plucks the strings with the fingers instead of using a bow. Harps have around 47 strings, and can play a range of 6 and a half octaves.
Orchestral harps have seven pedals, which are used to adjust the pitch of all the strings simultaneously. Imagine a piano – if you run a finger quickly along the white notes, you'll get a C major scale. The same thing is easily done on the harp by plucking the strings quickly. The player can change the scale produced (to any scale, major, minor or otherwise) by simply setting the foot pedals into the required positions.
When were string instruments invented?
The violin family was developed in northern Italy in the 16th century. Some modifications were made in later years, but the instruments are essentially the same now as they were then. Violas and cellos were developed at the same time as the violin, as instrument makers were in deep experimentation with the basic form, trying to find the best way to construct their instruments. The violin shape was most likely based on older, Byzantine instruments, which were brought from Asia and the Middle East to Italy along the old Silk Route .
Their strings are tuned a perfect fourth apart, whereas all the other strings are tuned in fifths.
The "shoulders" of the instrument are sloping, whereas the others are rounded.
The proportions used to construct the instrument are different.
How do string instruments work?
Each instrument has four strings. The strings are practically the same length, but they are of different thicknesses. The thicker the string, the lower the note. The violin, for example, has its four strings tuned to the notes G below middle C, then D above that, then A, then the highest (thinnest) string is E.
The note which is produced depends on how much length of string is allowed to vibrate. If the player lets the whole string vibrate, it will produce its lowest note. If the player puts a finger on the string ("stops" the string) , the part which is able to vibrate will be shorter, so a higher note is produced. For example, if the player puts a finger about 2cm along the string, the note one tone higher will sound (A, on the G string). Doing the same thing on the D string will produce the note E, and so on. String players have to place their fingers with great precision, or they will play out of tune. Unlike on the guitar, there are no "frets" (marked places) showing them where to press. This is one reason why beginner violinists sometimes sound rather unpleasant!
So, while the left hand is used to shorten the string as desired, the right hand is used to set the string in vibration. Most often, this is done with a bow .
Spiccato – bouncing the bow on the string to make short, detached notes.
That concludes the MyMusicTheory Guide to the Instruments of the Orchestra! Hope you enjoyed it!

The Quin (previously the Buckingham Hotel), NYC / Photo courtesy of the property
South of Central Park, New York's Hot New Hotel Quarter
by Karen Gardiner
In Uptown New York City, over the two blocks that run from 55th to 57th, bounded by 6th and 7th Avenues, there's currently a flurry of exciting new hotel openings.
When it comes to great hotels, the Upper West Side has long played second fiddle to downtown New York - being home to far more luxury condominiums than chic hotels. Why hotels have not moved in earlier is a mystery as this area has plenty to keep visitors busy: Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, and Central Park, for starters.
While none of these new hotels are in the affordable bracket, a few of them are offering some good value early opening deals.
Here's a quick run-down on the new hotel openings.
The Viceroy
The most recent arrival on 57th Street (it just opened on October 9th) is the first Viceroy branded property in New York City. The striking black glass fluted exterior is designed by architecture and design duo Roman and Williams (who worked on the Ace Hotel New York and the Standard NYC), who also handled all of the interiors.
The Viceroy's 240 guest rooms all feature bespoke Roman and Williams furniture, as well as Dr. Dre Beatboxes and smartphones that guests are welcome to carry with them around town.
Rates usually start at $559 but we are seeing some late November rates going for as low as $387. Additionally, the Viceroy is running a fall special where you stay in a Park Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, or Park Suite and receive the third night free along with complimentary continental breakfast for two daily and a welcome amenity.
The Quin
Opening in November, The Quin occupies the former Buckingham Hotel and is expected to open early November. The Quin aims to play off its artistic heritage - the hotel was once home to pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski and artists Georgia O'Keeffe and Marc Chagall - with its interactive arts program. The Quin Arts program will exhibit a curated collection of rotating mixed media and film on a 15-foot digital art wall in the lobby; a featured artist in the lobby-level gallery, and original artwork in guestrooms, and online through artist features, exhibits, and programs.
The Quin's 208 guest rooms will all feature luxury DUXIANA beds and Sferra linens, and they will be the first hotel in New York to offer Fresh toiletries in the bathrooms.
Rates start at $429 and launch packages include a Bed and Breakfast Package, which starts at $499 a night and includes accommodations, full breakfast for two, and a $20 gift card to any of the Nespresso coffee bars in New York City ,and a Mercedes Airport Transfer Package that covers accommodations in a Superior room and transportation from the airport in a luxury Mercedes car - from $599 per night.
Although set back by a wayward crane during last year's Hurricane Sandy, New York's only Park Hyatt is still on track to open mid-2014. The luxury hotel's 210 guest rooms will occupy the top of the One57 building (almost directly opposite the Viceroy), which, when completed, will be the city's tallest residential building.
Although we are still waiting for specific details on the new hotel, the Park Hyatt New York promises some of the biggest guest rooms in the city, "museum-quality artwork," a spa, outdoor terrace, and what it is calling "a spectacular culinary experience."
WestHouse
The Art Deco inspired WestHouse Hotel is scheduled to open at the end of November and aims to offer a residential experience - the hotel's two bars, The Den and the 23rd-floor The Terrace will be reserved for guests only. The WestHouse will offer 172 guest rooms and facilities include a 24-hour fitness center.
Rates will start at $499 a night, not including a mandatory $30 residence fee, which covers a daily breakfast presentation, hors d'oeuvres, evening canapés, and unlimited drinks.
