Color Club Backstage Pass is a glittery, festive collection for the holiday season this year. But you best make sure you have MAJOR patience!
These aren't your garden variety glitters. Nay. They are super crazy multi-colored, shaped and sized glitters and all but one are set in a clear base. You can use them as a layer atop a colored polish or pack 'em on for a majorly glittery effect. But that's where your patience will be required because these are a bit difficult to work with.
Fame & Fortune has a bright pinkish/red base and has jagged, multi-shaped flake glitter. It looks like shards of a broken mirror! Pretty cool I think. I liked this one because of the colored base. I'm not much of a fan of glitter suspended in clear unless it covers REALLY well. This was two coats and really the easiest one to use.
It's A Hit! has large hexagonal mirror-like purple glitter in it. This wasn't easy to work with. It's hard getting the glitter off the brush onto your nail where you want it. If you don't wait awhile in-between coats it just moves all over the place. Also it doesn't want to lay flat. This was two coats.
Platinum Record is a glitter jam packed with large, medium and small silver hexagonal glitter. Again it's got that super shiny mirror-like finish, which I really like. This one was REALLY thick and has so much glitter that you can get pretty good coverage with just a couple coats. It's a little easier to work with than some of the others, but still you have to have some patience in-between coats.
Take The Stage is a glitter that has small gold hexagonal glitter as well as larger iridescent flake glitter. Really interesting combo, I don't think I have seen one like this before. I wound up liking this one because it's easier to apply than the large hexagonal glitter and I got fairly good coverage. This was three coats.
Backstage Pass includes large fuchsia hexagonal glitter, large silver hexagonal glitter and small silver hexagonal glitter. This, like It's A Hit! was fairly frustrating to work with. Larger glitter just isn't easy to get into (and stay into) place! The smaller glitter bits are pretty sparse and I don't know if they really add anything to the polish. This was three coats.
Wish Upon A Rock Star is a glitter that includes small hexagonal green, blue, red, silver and gold glitter as well as large violet hexagonal glitter. The color scheme is reminiscent of Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday (and possible Finger Paints Fun-Fetti which I have but haven't tried yet) and also Wet n Wild Party of Five. This was also easier to work with than the larger glitter colors and I got great coverage with three coats.
If you love glitters suspended in clear polish, then this might be your bag, baby. If not or you have no patience to work with them, you may not love them all. My favorite ones were Take The Stage, Fame & Fortune and Wish Upon A Rock Star.
How are you feeling about Backstage Pass?
that new macro lens is great…love these!!
I like these, they're fun. For the price, I may definitely have to pick one or two up..Platinum Record and Fame/Fortune.. And once again the photos are amazing!
I love that you posted macro pics! It's easier to get an idea of what;s in the polish.
I agree with Carrie. It was a good idea, but the end result on the nail leaves something to be desired. It's too bad.
But I do appreciate your awesome macro shots – really sharp!
I'm pretty sure that Funky Fingers Heavy Metal is a dupe of Platinum Record. It applies much easier for me too!
I really don't like how all the big hex glitters seem to be curling up. 🙁 I wonder if they just chose the wrong type of plastic to suspend in the base because I don't really see this happen with ChG or Lippmann glitters!
It does look that way because of the mirror reflection of them but in fact they are not curled. It only looks curled in the bottle not really so much on the nail.
Oh, phew! That's good to know. Trying to smooth them out would be a nightmare if they ended up curling.
I was wondering the same thing! Good to know that it's just an optical illusion. And Kelly, your macro shots are superb!
You are like THE person who takes macro shots. Nobody comes close!!
Oh my, those macro shots are amazing! Really helps to see the detail of the glitters. For the price these would be great to try.
Thank you for the photos! I love glitter, but to me Color Club really ruined these. They just look weird, except for maybe Wish Upon A Rock Star.
I love the macro shots as well….I'm tempted to wallpaper them!
Aside from that though, I just can't find these appealing. They look like some kind of terrible glitter glue accident at art camp. The obsessive compulsive side of me also intensely dislikes the uneven distribution. If you can't get them to go on evenly, I doubt the rest of us could do it! I wish they had done a collection of RBL Locavore-esque polishes instead.
I think I like the non large hex ones better too. They larger ones seems so sparse and it doesn't look as good as a result.
Somehow, the large chunky glitter looks out of place on the nails. Maybe it would look better with a base coat. Which is exactly what I will do with them.
Holy Moly, those macro shots are AMAZING. I'm skipping on this collection though, not really a huge fan of these 🙁 Thanks for sharing!
My favorite part of the collection are your macros! Some of these just look like chunky nightmares in every way!
I picked up Color Club's Orna-Minty… It looks suspiciously similar to Platinum Record, only smells like mint. I was so excited when I got it, but it clumps and is hard to spread evenly. Like you said, if you have the patience to do it, they are really pretty. But after my experience with Orna-minty, I think I would also have to pass. It may be good for some nail art designs, or just on the tips, maybe, but I don't like how it looks on a full nail.
LOVE the dimensional look of the glitter in Backstage Pass and It's A Hit, but I too would much prefer these if they were in a tinted base!
Which macro lens did you get?! Amazing pictures! On a side note, not loving the polished. I thot I'd be all over them, but it all looks too chunky.
Love Wish Upon a Rock Star. The rest I will definitely not buy. I have so many glitters. Your macro shots are fantastic. Your the best!
I find the glitter combo in Take The Stage intriguing but overall I'm not a fan of these. Maybe the'd be better off layered but as they stand I actually really dislike them.
I really enjoy your blog for sometime now.
Thanks for the awsome work on your blog.
Kelly, I definitely like the small glittered ones! The larger flaky ones would be to frustrating to use!
Hooray for YOUR patience so we get a great idea of what the polishes look like on the nail!
I love Fame and Fortune, the others are cool and edgy as well.

Starting loop: cargo launch to orbit
Starting loop or Lofstrom loop – published project of cable transport system, intended to bring cargo into orbit. The project is based on a looped cord (loop), continuously moving at a huge speed (12-14 km / s) inside the vacuum pipe. The cord does not touch the walls of the pipe, they are separated by a magnetic suspension. In general, this device is a grandiose structure with a length of about 2000 km, and the loop itself must rise to a height of 80 km and stay on it due to the moment of inertia of the rotating cord. Rotation carries the weight of the entire structure on a pair of magnetic bearings that support it, one at each end.
The starting loop is designed for non-rocket launches of space vehicles with a mass of up to 5 tons, using electromagnetic acceleration, both to orbit around the Earth, and beyond. Overclocking is carried out on a flat part of the cable, which is outside the dense atmosphere.
The published estimate of the costs for a workable starting loop was significantly lower than for a space elevator, while the proposed system has a higher launch rate, lower cost and the same or even higher payload (payload) than the equivalent. In contrast to the space elevator, it will not require any development of new materials.
The system is designed to ensure the launch of space tourists, and also aims to space exploration and space colonization, providing a relatively soft level of overload equal to 3g.
The starting loop is a construction about 2000 km in size. The loop itself rises from the surface of the Earth to an altitude of 80 km, passes at this altitude of 2000 km, again descends to the surface of the Earth, unfolds and then repeats all the way back to the starting point. The loop has the form of a tube, hollow inside and called a shell. Inside the shell, another solid tube is suspended, called a rotor, which is a cord or chain. The rotor is made of iron and has a diameter of about 5 cm. It moves along a circle inside the loop at a speed of 14 km / s.
Although the loop is very long, about 4000 km, the rotor itself is quite thin, about 5 cm in diameter, and the shell is not much larger. The rotor is made of ferromagnetic iron in the form of a cord or tube with longitudinal compensators every meter or so. The rotor is separated from the envelope servo stabilizing magnetic bearings. The sheath is sealed, with the maintenance of vacuum, to minimize the resistance exerted on the rotor.
At rest, the loop will be at ground level. Then the rotor will begin to accelerate with a linear motor, which will consume several hundred megawatts of power. With an increase in rotor speed will be bent and acquire the shape of an arc. The shell will force it to take the shape of the curve steeper than the ballistic curve. In turn, the rotor will transmit the centrifugal force to the shell, keeping it in the air. The loop will take the desired shape and will be limited to a maximum height of ≈80 km due to cable attachment to the ground. When using a 300 MW generator, it takes about two months to reach full speed. After full promotion, the rotor will perform one revolution in about five minutes.
After raising the structure, it will require constant replenishment of its energy in order to compensate for energy dissipation in magnetic bearings, to stabilize the structure, and to compensate for losses due to imperfections in the vacuum envelope. All this will require about 200 MW of power, not counting the additional energy for launching space vehicles.
Cargo launch
To start up, the vehicle is lifted on the "lift cable", which hangs from the western loading station from an altitude of 80 km, and is placed on the rails of the accelerating section. The booster block creates a magnetic field, thanks to which eddy currents appear in a rapidly moving rotor. They also raise the payload over the cable and push it forward with 3g acceleration (30 m / s ²). The payload is accelerated by the rotor until it reaches the required orbital speed, after which it leaves the accelerating section.
If a stable or circular orbit is needed, then when the payload of the topmost point of the trajectory is reached, the onboard rocket engine ("accelerator") or another means necessary for directing the trajectory to the corresponding orbit around the Earth should be loaded with the useful load.
The eddy current method is compact, light and powerful, but inefficient. At each start-up due to power dissipation, the temperature of the rotor rises by 80 degrees. If run loads are too close to each other, the rotor temperature may be close to 770 ° C (1043 K), after which the rotor material loses ferromagnetic properties, and its tightness is compromised.
Starting Features and Performance
Orbits with a perigee of 80 km are unstable due to aerodynamic braking (the spacecraft is rapidly losing altitude and falling to Earth), but in addition to such orbits, the launch loop itself is able to directly throw useful cargo into orbit that requires a speed higher than the escape velocity, to make a gravitational maneuver around the Moon and to get to other distant orbits, including those nearest to the Trojan points.
To ensure launching into circular orbits from the launch loop, a relatively small accelerating engine will be needed, which will be activated at the apogee and correct the orbit. To hit the geosynchronous orbit (GSO), it will be necessary to increase the speed by about 1.6 km / s, and to achieve a low orbit (NO) at an altitude of 500 km, an addition to the speed of only 120 m / s will be required. Conventional rockets require additives to a speed of approximately 10 and 14 km / s andto achieve DK GSO, respectively.
Lofstrom launch loop structure is close to the equator, and can provide the launch only in equatorial orbit. However, there may be achieved and other orbital plane by means of a turn at the height of the lunar perturbation or by aerodynamic methods.
The maximum rate launcher launches the loop is about 80 per hour, and is ultimately limited temperature and time of cooling of the rotor, but this would require a power of about 17 GW. A more modest 500 MW capacity will be sufficient for 35 launches per day.
In order for the starting loop to be economically feasible, the appearance of customers with sufficiently large requirements for load capacity of launches is required.
Lofstrom estimated that the initial cost of the loop, is about $ 10 billion, paid off in one year, will need to run the 40000 tons per year, while the cost to launch to orbit will be about $ 300 / kg. If the initial investment to increase to $ 30 billion(to build a more powerful loop), the loop will run 6 million tons of cargo per year and, subject to a five-year payback period, cost of space may be less than $ 3 / kg [5].
It is expected that the starting loop can ensure a high rate of starts (several starts per hour, regardless of the weather), and this system will not practically pollute the environment. At missile launch formed pollution in the form of nitrates due tohigh exhaust gas temperatures, and depending on the type of fuel may be emitted greenhouse gases. The starting loop, as a kind of electric power plant, is environmentally friendly; it can operate from any source of energy: geothermal, nuclear, solar, wind or any other, even non-permanent type, as the system has huge built-in energy storage.
Unlike the space elevator, which must pass through the radiation belt for several days, the passengers of the launch loop can be launched into a low Earth orbit below the radiation belt, or to pass through it in a few hours. This situation is similar to that encountered by the astronauts of Apollo, for which the radiation dose is 200 times lower than the space elevator can provide.
In contrast to the space elevator, which is at risk of collision with space debris and meteorites along its entire length, the starting loop is located at altitudes where the orbits are unstable due to air resistance. Space debris there for a long time is not preserved, the chance of collision with the installation is quite small. While the period of existence of the space elevator is of the order of several years, damage or destruction of the starting loop can happen relatively rarely. In addition, the starting loop itself is not a significant source of space debris, even in the event of an accident. All its possible fragments will have a perigee intersecting with the atmosphere, or their velocities will be lower than the first cosmic one.
The starting loop is aimed at transporting people, because in it the maximum acceleration of 3g is safe, the vast majority of people are able to withstand it. In addition, it provides a much faster way to reach outer space than a space elevator.
The starting loop will work silently; unlike missiles it will not have any noise impact.
Finally, the low cost of putting payloads into orbit makes it suitable for large-scale commercial space tourism and even for the colonization of space.
A twisted loop will store a huge amount of energy in the form of an impulse. Since the magnetic suspension system will have a large redundancy, a failure in a small area will not affect the system's operability. But if there will be a significant structural failure, there will be release of all stored energy (1.5 × 1015 joules or 1.5 petajoules), which is equivalent to the explosion of the atomic bomb, with capacity of 350 kilotons of TNT (but without the radiation emission). Although this is a huge amount of energy, it is unlikely that there will be the destruction of the entire structure due to its very large size, and also because when a fault is detected most of the energy will be directed to a special place. It may be necessary to take measures to reduce the cable from a height of 80 km with minimal damage, for example, to provide parachutes. Therefore, to ensure safety and for astronomical reasons, the starting loop will need to be installed above the ocean near the equator, away from populated areas.
The published design of the starting loop requires electronic control of the magnetic levitation to minimize dissipated power and stabilize the attenuation of the cable caused by other causes. The instability will arise first of all in the turning sections, and also in the cable.
Rotary sections are potentially unstable, since the motion of the rotor in the direction away from the magnets leads to a decrease in the magnetic attraction, while the movement toward the magnets creates an increase in attraction. In any case, instability arises. This problem is solved by using servo control systems to manage the power of the magnets. Although the reliability of the servo drives at high rotor speed is the subject of investigation, a lot of consecutive servo sections will be lost in order to contain the rotor in the event of a system failure.
Cable sections will also share this potential fate, although the forces here are much smaller. However, there is another potential instability consists in that the cable / shell / rotor can undergo meandering (as Lariat chain), moreover, the amplitude of oscillation of the process may increase without constraints (resonance). Lofstrom believes that this instability can also be controlled in real time by means of servos, but nobody did it.
To maintain the vacuum in the system at an acceptable level, it needs a plurality of evenly distributed along the length of the vacuum pumps (ie, at an altitude of 80 kilometers, too) is constantly working on the rollout, to compensate for the leakage.
It is difficult to obtain the required electrical power in the middle of the ocean.
Alexander Bolonkin noted a number of technical issues in the Lofstrom project. In particular, at junctions between 1.5-meter steel plates, jamming is possible, and frictional forces at a turning radius of 28 km are also great.

17-year-old chestnut Hanoverian mare (Equus caballus).This mare presented approximately seven years prior to euthanasia with lameness which progressed to swelling over the splint bones of the left forelimb. A bone scan showed intramedullary sclerosis of the left distal humerus occupying approximately one third of the bone and a suspected lesion of the glenoid cavity of the left scapula. The mare was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and stall rest. No follow-up examination was recorded with reference to the lesions in the humerus and scapula.
Nearly two years prior to euthanasia, the mare presented with an approximately 10 cm diameter, rounded, boney tumor on the caudal aspect of the left mandible. The mandible was thickened in the horizontal plane, with a craterous depression immediately caudal to the mass. Radiographs revealed an altered trabecular pattern of bone extending dorsally into the mandibular cheek tooth roots.
Previous clinical history included a left-sided ethmoid hematoma diagnosed approximately eight years prior to euthanasia, which was treated with serial surgeries and formalin injection. Following complete recovery, the mare later developed a chronic, low-volume, bilateral, mucoid nasal discharge due to a mucocele, which resolved in response to 10% formalin injection. No further mucoid discharge or endoscopic changes to the ethmoid turbinates were observed following treatment. The reason for eventual euthanasia was not specified by the case contributor.
Necropsy examination was performed by the attending clinician, who reported boney masses in the left mandible and left scapula; the masses effaced pre-existing bone and contained coalescing pockets of soft, white material. The clinicans working diagnosis included osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma.
Bone, mandible (slide 6) and scapula (slide 7): Extending to the margins of the submitted tissue, expanding the medulla, separating and surrounding regularly-spaced, irregularly-shaped trabeculae of woven bone, and invading and effacing overlying cortical bone is an unencapsulated, infiltrative, well-demarcated moderately cellular neoplasm composed of spindle to stellate mesenchymal cells arranged in haphazard streams on a moderately edematous fibromyxomatous matrix. Trabeculae are lined by a single layer of plump, hypertrophied, active osteoblasts, and frequently, one or more osteoclasts within Howships lacunae (osteoclastic osteolysis). Proliferating mesenchymal cells have indistinct cell borders, scant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and one oval to elongate nucleus with finely-stippled chromatin and 1-2 generally indistinct nucleoli. Mitoses are rare (less than 1 per ten 40X HPF). Scattered throughout the connective tissue are moderate numbers of osteoclasts, few aggregates of hematopoietic precursors (marrow elements), few perivascular foci of lymphocytes and plasma cells, and rare hemosiderin-laden macrophages. Multifocally, the spindle cells invade and replace the overlying woven or compact cortical bone, which also undergoes osteoclastic osteolysis. In some slides (particularly slide 7), there are aggregates of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the overlying fascia, and attached skeletal muscle myocytes exhibit sarcoplasmic pallor, swelling, vacuolation, with formation of contraction bands (degeneration) or are shrunken, angulated, fragmented, and have hypereosinophilic sarcoplasm with loss of cross striations and pyknosis (necrosis).
Bone, mandible and scapula: Ossifying fibroma.
Ossifying fibroma
The lesions in the submitted section of mandible (slide 6) and scapula (slide 7) are essentially identical. Ossifying fibroma is a benign, but invasive, lytic, and expansile fibro-osseous proliferation that is most commonly reported in the mandible in horses less than one year of age, where it is classified as equine juvenile mandibular ossifying fibroma. The lesion is less frequently seen in cats, dogs, and sheep, has been reported in greater kudus, a llama, a goat, and a rabbit, and has not been reported to undergo malignant transformation or metastasize.(reviewed in 4,6,8) This case is unusual in that the affected mare was much older than is typical, and scapular involvement is uncharacteristic of this tumor, which classically presents as a well-demarcated, expansile, non-painful mass protruding from the rostral mandible.(4,6,8) However, ossifying fibroma has been reported in sites other than the mandible, including the maxilla, and the os penis of a dog.(5) Like the most commonly affected bones of the skull, the proximal scapula develops by intramembranous ossification, so its involvement in this case is not completely unexpected. Moreover, the lesion has been reported in tubular bones in humans and cats.(2)
During the conference, participants discussed the differential diagnosis for this case in detail. Without the benefit of knowing the clinical history and radiographic findings, most conference participants diagnosed fibrous osteodystrophy (FOD), a fairly common metabolic bone disease caused by persistent primary or secondary hyperparathyoridism. Primary hyperparathyroidism results from a functional parathyroid gland adenoma, and is far less common than secondary hyperparathyroidism in all domestic species. Secondary hyperparathyroidism can result from renal disease or a nutritional deficiency or imbalance (i.e. simple dietary calcium deficiency, dietary phosphorus excess, or vitamin D deficiency). Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism is most common in horses, a species exquisitely sensitive to the effects of high dietary phosphorus. Horses fed a diet containing a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 1:3 or wider are highly susceptible to FOD; this most commonly occurs in horses fed a diet consisting primarily of grain, giving rise to the colloquial term bran disease for the condition. The disease is also reported in horses grazing pastures high in oxalate, even when calcium and phosphorus are normal. Disease prevalence is highest in young growing horses, and the characteristic clinical presentation is bilateral swelling of the mandibles and maxillae, prompting another colloquial term, big head. Serum PTH concentrations and urinary fractional clearance of phosphorus are increased in affected horses, and are more useful for antemortem diagnosis than are serum calcium and phosphate concentrations.(7)
Microscopically, FOD is characterized by the triad of increased osteoclastic bone resorption, fibroplasia, and increased osteoblastic activity with the formation of trabeculae of woven bone; all three features are also seen in normal bone remodeling and certain stages of fracture repair, and are present in this case as well.(7) Therefore, the diagnosis requires correlation with the clinical and radiographic findings, and examination of sections of bone distant from sites of bone remodeling or fracture repair. The numerous osteoclasts present in this case compelled some participants to discount ossifying fibroma entirely in favor of a diagnosis of FOD; however, the conference moderator cautioned participants to remember that any mesenchymal cell can secrete RANK-L, resulting in osteoclast differentiation and activation. In this case, fibrous osteodystrophy can be excluded only in light of the clinical history and radiographic findings.
The foci of inflammation within marrow spaces seen in this case are unusual, and are not typical of FOD or ossifying fibroma, urging some participants to consider osteomyelitis in the differential diagnosis. While inflammation in the marrow spaces and reactive new bone growth may result from chronic, productive osteomyelitis, the conference moderator and participants noted several features that argue against osteomyelitis in this case: 1) inflammation in osteomyelitis would be expected to occur in larger pockets, whereas in this case the foci of inflammatory cells are small and generally confined to perivascular areas; 2) the reactive trabecular bone in osteomyelitis would generally exhibit a distinct orientation around pockets of inflammation, whereas in the examined slides the new bone is arranged haphazardly; and 3) productive osteomyelitis generally yields reactive periosteal new bone growth that is oriented perpendicular to the cortex initially (though it may orient parallel to the cortex after remodeling), and would not typically produce the degree of cortical osteoclasis seen in this case.
Microscopically, ossifying fibroma is often described as intermediate between fibrous dysplasia and osteoma, two other benign bone-forming tumors considered by conference attendees and discussed during the conference. Fibrous dysplasia has been ascribed to a mesenchymal developmental abnormality, hamartomatous anomaly, or neoplastic process. While relatively common in humans, it has been only rarely reported in the horse, including once in the accessory carpal bone causing sudden-onset lameness,(2) and once in the nasal cavity causing epistaxis.(3) Fibrous dysplasia closely resembles ossifying fibroma in all respects except one: while spicules of bone in ossifying fibroma are lined by a single layer of plump osteoblasts which apparently arise from the proliferating mesenchymal cells that separate them, spicules of bone in fibrous dysplasia form directly from mesenchymal cells and are not lined by osteoblasts.(2-4,6-8) At the other end of the spectrum, osteomas are composed primarily of dense trabeculae of woven bone that, as in ossifying fibroma, are lined by a layer of plump osteoblasts; however, osteomas generally project from the surface of the bone, and their bony trabeculae are more separated by smaller spaces with more loosely-arranged mesenchymal tissue than is present in ossifying fibroma.(4,6,8)
Because reports of fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, and osteoma in horses remain sparse, differences in prognosis among these benign fibro-osseous proliferations are not yet apparent, and the more practically important duty of the veterinary histopathologist is distinction between these proliferative lesions and malignant neoplasia. Affirming this, the submitting clinicians working diagnosis, based on the gross and radiographic findings, included osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. Osteosarcoma, while less common than ossifying fibroma in horses, is occasionally reported in the bones of the face and jaw and shares with ossifying fibroma the tendency to replace alveolar and cortical bone, causing tooth loosening and increased susceptibility to pathological fracture. Osteosarcoma is excluded in this case by the presence of regularly-spaced, irregularly-shaped spicules of welldifferentiated woven bone, a feature characteristic of ossifying fibroma but not osteosarcoma. Moreover, the spicules of bone are lined by plump osteoblasts that are clearly distinct from the proliferating mesenchymal cells that separate the bone trabeculae. In contrast to the usually overtly malignant neoplastic cells of osteosarcoma, the proliferating mesenchymal cells in this case are microscopically bland, with a low mitotic rate, minimal anisocytosis and anisokaryosis, and absence of osteoid.(4,5,7,8) Similarly, fibrosarcoma is excluded based on the bland microscopic features of the proliferating mesenchymal cells and the gradual transition between the proliferative cell population and adjacent tissue.
Finally, though not associated with the degree of cortical lysis present in this case, idiopathic enostosis-like lesions have been reported in the long bones of horses(1) and should be considered when a proliferation of woven bone is encountered in a diagnostic setting. An example from the right distal humerus of a Swedish Warmblood riding horse was reviewed in WSC 2008-2009, Conference 21, case IV.

How does Bath compare to Sale?
Farleigh House is a unique place, and a great location to come and train every day. The organisation as a whole is impressive, but there's a real focus on developing each individual player which is a real draw for any professional athlete in a team sport. That said, Bath and Sale might be miles apart geographically, but both teams have a positive approach to the game and play some exciting rugby.
Have you always been a prop or did you start out in a different position?
I think I was always destined to be a prop. I tried my hand at No 8 in my early teens and even had a go at centre in sevens, but I've pretty much always been a prop.
Which players have you tried to model yourself on?
The big one for me is probably Carl Hayman, especially when I was a teenager. He was playing for the All Blacks and then moved to Newcastle. He was quite tall for a tighthead, but one of the best scrummagers in the game and he could run around the field a bit as well.
Props seem to be coming through to the top level at a younger age now – what do you make of the development of front-rowers and how much difference does game time at a young age make?
Game time makes a huge difference. I wouldn't be where I am today without getting a bit of a lucky break at Sale with a few guys unfortunately having to retire. You learn from all your experiences on the pitch and there is absolutely no substitute for game time in the front row, no matter what level it is. That's probably why there are a few more coming through at a younger age nowadays: there's more opportunities for valuable game time with the Aviva A League and options for loans or dual-registration.
Front-rowers rarely play a full 80 minutes these days. How does this affect your performance and recovery?
It's such an attritional position that playing 80 minutes is tough – in fact, playing any minutes in the front row is tough. Usual time of play is 50-60 minutes but it still feels like you've played 80 when you come off. It takes a few days to recover from the collisions and impact on the body and that 10-15 minutes does make a difference. We're lucky at this level in that we have the best medical and nutritional advice which helps us with preparation and recovery.
At a young age it's important you don't neglect your skills. Players in all positions should develop their core skills in order to be able to perform at any level.
Who's been your toughest opponent?
I've had a few tough ones over the years. When I was slightly younger I had some tough battles with Nick Wood at Gloucester. Over the last couple of seasons it's been Marcos Ayerza, who's one of the best looseheads in the game scrummaging-wise, so it's always a hard battle against him.
What do you get up to away from rugby – hobbies, studies etc?
I spend a lot of time with the guys. We have a bit of a coffee club going in town. We play a lot of golf together, and one of my best mates is a golfer so I try and get out on the course whenever I can. I'm studying accounting as well, which is keeping me busy in my spare time.

V-DAY FWN ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE CAMPAIGN PRESENTS
A ONE-NIGHT-ONLY BENEFIT PERFORMANCE OF "THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES"
2011 Vagina Warriors Selected; Spotlight: Claire Joyce Tempongko Verdict Overturned; Men Pledge Against Violence Against Women
San Francisco, CA – May 6, 2011 - Filipina Women's Network (FWN) in collaboration with V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls, celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by shattering culture taboos with a benefit performance of The Vagina Monologues. Working at the intersection of art, social action and politics, FWN empowers Asian Pacific American women grassroots activists to become leaders, turning pain to power and transforming their respective communities.
Headlining the all-women volunteer cast comprised of local Asian Pacific American community leaders, executives, young professionals, mothers and students are:
California Assembly Speaker pro Tempore Fiona Ma
San Francisco School Board Commissioner Emily Murase, PhD
Domestic Violence Consortium Executive Director Beverly Upton
San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women Commissioner Julie Soo, Esq.
Assistant District Attorney Liz Aguilar Tarchi, Esq.
"Domestic abuse is a hidden secret in our community," says Gloria T. Caoile, who has produced the performances in Washington, DC and Las Vegas, Nevada. "It is critical that we raise our consciousness about the insidiousness of violence at all levels – from a sampal (brutal slap) to a casual put down. All the cast and crew members are volunteers and community folks who signed up just to get on stage. They did so because they understand and want to participate in ending violence in the Filipino and Asian communities."
The performance will benefit My Sister's House, V-Day Spotlight 2011: Women and Girls in Haiti, and the Filipinas Against Violence Campaign. Two ways to support the campaign:
Sponsor a support ad to help in the publication of the V-Diaries, FWN's anti-violence resource guide and show playbill. Go to www.ffwn.org/events to sponsor an ad. Limited ad space still available. Call 415.935.4FWN to reserve your space.
Patrons are encouraged to sponsor tickets for domestic violence agencies and shelter residents so they can attend the show. To sponsor, go to www.ffwn.org/events or call 415.935.4FWN.
Tickets are available at City Box Office by calling 415.392.4400 or online at www.cityboxoffice.com. Tickets are $28 for seniors and students, $38 for general admission and $100 for VIP seating. Group tickets are also available.
2011 Vagina Warriors Selected
Over the years since FWN launched its first show in 1994, FWN encountered incredible women and men working to end violence against women and girls in their communities. These women and men have often experienced violence either personally or witnessed it within their communities and dedicated themselves toward ending such violence through grassroots means. We call these brave women and men "Vagina Warriors". Vagina Warriors know that the process of healing from violence is long and happens in stages. They give what they need the most, and by giving, they heal and activate the wounded part inside.
Many Vagina Warriors work primarily on a grassroots level. Because what is done to women is often done in isolation and remains unreported, Vagina Warriors work to make the invisible seen. The 2011 awardees will be honored during the benefit performance. They are:
Nwe Oo, Wellness Advocate, Community Health for Asian Americans. Nwe has suffered domestic violence at the hands of her husband. She has had counseling, divorced her husband and has sole custody of her 3 young boys. She lived in a shelter to protect her family. She now counsels other refugee women who are suffering domestic violence. She has been an advocate for families suffering PTSD from living in refugee camps and not knowing how to deal with the stress of a new country.
Noelani Sallings, President, DAWN – Democratic Activists for Women Now. After being emotionally abused and raped, Noelani did not become a victim. She became a rape crisis counselor to overcome her own rape and worked with the youth to use music as an outlet for healthy relationships. She went back to school to earn her undergraduate degree in Psychology and later became a candidate for School Board.
Katrina Socco, San Francisco Bay Area Coordinator, AF3IRM. Katrina is a survivor of sexual assault and an abusive relationship. She has turned her experiences to fuel the need for women's activism and leadership notably coordinating tri-cultural solidarity campaigns in support of the Filipina Comfort Women and against Prop 1017.
Susie Quesada, Executive Vice President, Ramar Foods International. Susie has been a dedicated supporter of FWN for a number of years. Her most outstanding contribution to the Filipinas Against Violence Campaign is her company's nationwide distribution of the V-Diaries: Anti-Violence Resource Guide. When she sensed resistance from the company truck drivers, delivery employees and sales staff about carrying magazines with the word 'vagina' on the cover, she told them, "This is about taking a stand against abuse of Filipina women and girls. These magazines contain powerful messages that violence against women must stop. You are all bringing these magazines to areas our company serves and your action could result in saving one woman's life."
Claire Joyce Tempongko Verdict Overturned: No justice for family of domestic violence murder
On March 30, the state appellate court overturned the murder conviction of Tari Ramirez, citing incorrect jury instructions about what constitutes murder versus manslaughter, and introducing the possibility that the case may have to be retried. This decision reopens many partially healed wounds. The California Attorney General has requested a review of the March 30 ruling with the California Supreme Court.
The 2000 murder of Claire Joyce Tempongko, a 28-year old Filipina woman who was stabbed 21 times by her ex-boyfriend, Tari Ramirez, in front of her two young children, stunned the community. It compelled the City of San Francisco to create the 'Justice and Courage Oversight Committee' with the Commission on the Status of Women to investigate the City's system-wide response to domestic violence. In 2002, the committee released "Justice and Courage: A Blueprint", which outlined recommendations to remove the gaps and barriers in the criminal justice and social service systems to prevent future deaths. FWN joined the Commission to ensure the report's recommendations are implemented, the gaps and barriers are closed, Tari Ramirez is arrested and prosecuted, and public accountability is put into practice by including community members and city departments so they can work together to end domestic violence in San Francisco. FWN's anti-violence campaign keeps the memory of Claire Joyce Tempongko alive but most importantly to end violence against Asian Pacific American women and girls.
Following the murder, Ramirez fled to Mexico. By no small miracle, he was apprehended there in 2006 and brought to trial in 2007. In September 2008, Tari Ramirez was convicted of second-degree murder and later sentenced to 16 years to life in prison.
Meanwhile, Claire Joyce's mother, Clara, struggled to make sense of her daughter's violent death while attempting to create a normal environment for her two grandchildren now left traumatized and motherless. Overcoming her feelings of hopelessness and bouts of depression, Clara has become an outspoken advocate for better measures to fight domestic violence.
The Vagina Monologues benefit performance is dedicated to the memory of Claire Joyce Tempongko that she may get the justice she deserves.
"Handprints: Men Against Violence Against Women" Pledge
The highlight of FWN's annual Anti-Violence Campaign is the Handprints Pledge during the benefit performance on May 13. David Chiu, President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, will lead the pledge and will be joined by other community leaders and the men and boys in the audience. The Men Against Violence Against Women Campaign is about building men's capacity to challenge harmful aspects of traditional masculinity, to value alternative visions of male strength, and to embrace their vital role as allies with women and girls in fostering healthy relationships and gender equity.
About Filipina Women's Network (FWN)
FWN is the non-profit organization founded to raise funding and awareness of the activities, careers and status of women of Philippine ancestry living in the United States. FWN is committed to fostering the socioeconomic, political, and educational advancement of Filipina women through cultural heritage events, career initiatives and professional development programs.

About Filipinas Against Violence Campaign
Filipinas Against Violence is the Filipina Women's Network's annual anti-domestic violence campaign in collaboration with Eve Ensler's V-Day organization to raise awareness through theatre, popular culture and education about the high incidence of violence in Asian homes and intimate partner relationships. Our mission is to encourage Filipina and Asian women in abusive relationships take action and seek help. Engaging the Filipino and Asian communities through the V-Day shows and hearing the women's stories "hits home" and helps the Asian community understand the broader connections of Asian values such as respect for women, dignity, family, equality and justice to social and economic issues and to class and religion.

About V-Day
V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler's award winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works. In 2010, over 5,400 V-Day benefit events took place produced by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls. To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $80 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational, media and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 12,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq. In 2001, V-Day was named one of Worth Magazine's "100 Best Charities," in 2006 one of Marie Claire Magazine's Top Ten Charities, and in 2010 was named as one of the Top-Rated organizations on GreatNonprofits.

Hailed as the bible for a new generation of women, it has been performed in cities all across America and at hundreds of college campuses, and has inspired a dynamic grassroots movement to stop violence against women. Witty and irreverent, compassionate and wise, Eve Ensler's Obie Award winning masterpiece gives voice to real women's deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who reads it will ever look at a woman's body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again.

Would you recommend Via to a friend?
With http://www.producthunt.com/posts... and http://www.producthunt.com/posts... announced back-to-back, this sounds like an interesting model to drive down costs. It seems like there isn't a strong network effect between cities, so Via could have an edge there.
Now in NYC and Chicago !


Auticon, previously known as Mindspark, is one of only a handful of companies that cater exclusively for employees who are on the autistic spectrum.
It was founded by Gray Benoist who, as the father of two autistic sons, saw few options in the workplace that could cater for their needs.
"Both are incredibly capable and smart and deserve an opportunity to be able to express that," he told the BBC on a recent visit to the company.
"Our mission is about enabling a group who have been disenfranchised. There are many segments of society that are under-utilised and people on the autistic spectrum are one of them," he said.
Peter had worked in "normal" offices before but they did not seem very normal to him. In fact he compared his previous working life to an episode of Survivors, a BBC series depicting the lives of a group of people in the aftermath of a flu outbreak that has wiped out most of the human race.
"It was all very tricky to navigate and understand. I failed to make social connections," he told the BBC.
Evan describes how at previous jobs he would "just sit and listen to a podcast by myself while I ate lunch".
Autism affects more than one in 100 people according to the UK's National Autistic Society, but fewer than a quarter of these will go on to full-time employment.
Many fall at the first hurdle because anxiety, which can often be heightened for those on the autistic spectrum, makes even the prospect of a job interview very intimidating.
"People tend to hire people who are like themselves, and autistic people are not like you, they are like themselves," said Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes, a book which looks at the evolution of autism.
Brian desperately wanted to utilise his computing skills in the workplace but felt put off applying for jobs in the competitive tech world.
"There is a lot of pressure. You have to compete against other people," he said.
Clearly overwhelmed by the prospect, he worked in some menial jobs instead – including in a grocery shop and washing cars – neither of which was utilising his talents and were, in his own words, "not going anywhere".
Some firms have found ways around the traditional interview process. German software firm SAP, which also employs those on the autistic spectrum, offers candidates the chance to build Lego robots instead of a formal interview.
"That shows problem-solving skills and commitment to a task," said Mr Silberman.
And SAP obviously thinks it is worth it, pointing out that employing autistic people is not done out of "charity" but because it "boosts our bottom line".
As well as having heightened anxiety, autistic people often struggle with social interaction.
So, at Auticon, if employees want headphones because of noise sensitivity they can have them. They also have the option to work in a dark room if they prefer, they don't have to take lunch breaks if they do not want them and if they do not feel able to communicate verbally with their team-mates, they can use messaging apps instead.
If things get too much for someone, they are entitled to "anxiety days off".
And when it comes to the dreaded employee review, there is an emphasis on not being critical.
"It is all about good human resources principles, it is something that other firms could easily replicate," he added.
Mr Silberman is not convinced that segregated offices are a good idea because he thinks that both autistic employees and their more neuro-typical co-workers can learn a lot from working together.
"By learning how to manage neuro-diverse employees, employers also learn how to help every employee," he said.
There is a four-week training schedule at Auticon which decides whether candidates are suitable for longer-term employment.
Some do not make the grade, especially those who are pushed by their parents to apply for a job despite having no passion for coding, and it is important to point out that there are lots of autistic people whose interests lie elsewhere.
For those who are successful at Auticon, the team appear to be hugely supportive of each other even if they don't all go out for lunch together.
When new office space was designed recently, employees asked for it to be open-plan rather than closed cubicles.
Brian and Evan both now enjoy lunch breaks with their co-workers, although Peter still finds it "hard to pull myself away from work".
But, perhaps tellingly, all three regard Auticon as a job for life.
That is a lesson that other companies should take note of, thinks Mr Silberman.

The history of the Federation of Clinical Immunological Societies (FOCIS) began with an inaugural meeting in 2001 in Boston. An annual meeting has taken place every year since, and this tradition will continue in 2020 despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 Annual Meeting of FOCIS, to be held virtually on 28 to 31 October 2020, will mark the 20th meeting of an organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the field of translational immunology. FOCIS arrives at this milestone as a federation of 59 member societies representing around 65,000 clinician scientists.
Science Immunology has been a partner of FOCIS since the journal's inception in 2016. FOCIS is a Strategic Contributor to Science Immunology, with a group of FOCIS members writing the Editors' Choice commentaries on recently published immunology research findings that are featured in the journal each month.
The editors of Science Immunology congratulate the FOCIS organization and their member societies for their accomplishments in bridging the divide between basic immunology research and disease-focused clinical research. This federation of a diverse group of immunology societies has also built bridges between clinical scientists representing discrete subspecialty areas who have a shared interest in understanding the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases and bringing new immune-based therapies into the clinic to benefit their patients.
At the 2019 FOCIS Annual Meeting in Boston, I had the opportunity to interview David Hafler, M.D. and C. Garrison Fathman, M.D., the cofounders of FOCIS. A major focus in these conversations was chronicling the …

BERT STERN
by PhiAdmin
Bert Stern was an American photographer best known for his iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe. With a photo shoot that took place in 1962 just weeks before the actress' death, Stern later compiled his image into the photobook Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting, first published in 1982. Born on October 3, 1929 in Brooklyn, NY, Stern taught himself how to take photographs as a youth.
Over the course of his career, Stern changed the landscape of fashion and advertising photography by creating dynamic, stand-alone images that no longer existed simply to serve the text. He emerged alongside Richard Avedon, Mark Shaw, and Irving Penn as a pioneer of this new, confrontational style. Stern died at the age of 83 on June 26, 2013 in New York, NY. Notable exhibitions of his work include "I Wanna Be Loved By You: Photographs of Marilyn Monroe" shown at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and "The Last Sitting" at the Musée Maillol in Paris.

God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ[a ]— by grace you have been saved —6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God — 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.
What words, phrases, ideas strike you in this passage?
How does this passage apply to the attitude and practices of generosity in your congregation?
"Grace is something you can never get but can only be given. There's no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about any more than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks or bring about your own birth.
A crucial eccentricity of the Christian faith is the assertion that people are saved by grace. There's nothing you have to do. There's nothing you have to do. There's nothing you have to do. The grace of God means something like: "Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are, because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you."
Greater Good Science Center (University of California) "Gratitude Improves Mental Health," Joel Wong and Joshua Brown.
Gratitude has lasting effect on the brain.
Let us give thanks to God our Creator and Redeemer for all God's gifts so freely bestowed upon us.
Leader: Let us bless the Lord. Alleluia. Alleluia.
People: Thanks be to God. Alleluia. Alleluia.
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people,[c] in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of the One who called you out of darkness into marvelous light.
Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.[f] 18 In fulfillment of his own purpose, he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
The Lord's Prayer is said by all.
In darkness and in light, in trouble and in joy, help us, heavenly Creator, to trust your love, to serve your purpose, and to praise your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Eternal God, shed your light on us who watch for you, that our lips may praise you, our hearts bless you, and our lives glorify you, through Jesus Christ our Savior. AMEN.

Wanted to go library today but it rained so here I am!
Ooooh didn't blog yesterday because was feeling lazy and unmotivated.
I fell asleep on the bed almost immediately after I reached home. So tired! Woke up at only 9pm+ and I ended up watching TV whilst MSN-ing till 4am. LOL not kidding. Someone refused to go offline until I went sleep ._.
It is not school and the lessons and the work that tire me out. School is still very slack. And I don't even have homework, unlike so many other courses.
It is the walking from my house to Khatib MRT, and walking from Yio Chu Kang MRT to school, then the walking back again when school ends. And campus very big, have to keep climbing up and down, walk here and there, blahblah and we are sitll getting lost. To top it off, the weather is bloomin' hot.
All these combine together make me very tired and hot -_- my sole consolation is that I can lose weight this way, but actually I doubt this can be even counted as exercise.
Walaoooo. So now my friends and I have to bring our laptops again on Monday and come school at 8.30am. Even though we start lessons only at noon! FML 🙁 tres tiring having to lug my laptop around… even though it is less than 2kg.
So far all is good. Classes are interesting but most of the lecturers are boring. Hahahah.
I was eating this chicken cutlet set and I left the chicken for the last. I'm the kind that saves the best for the last to enjoy and all. Walao my chicken 🙁 I was still in the midst of eating it. Boohoo. Nevermind.
Okay I forgot what else already.

SC seeks ban on child labour, issues notice to Centre
JudiciaryFebruary 1, 2006
The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued notices to the Centre, states and Union Territories on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking a complete ban on child labour. The PIL was filed by Shantha Sinha, Secretary, MV Foundation, Centre for Child Rights and Social Jurist. The apex court also said that the ban was necessary to include the children in the formal school system.
A bench of Justice KG Balakrishnan and Justice GP Mathur issued the notices, returnable within six weeks. In another PIL on the subject by environmentalist lawyer MC Mehta, it was contended that the compulsory schooling was up to 14 years of age as envisaged in Article 21 A of the Constitution.
In terms of Article 1, 2 of International Labour Organisation, minimum age convention, 1973 and Article 32 and 36 of the UN convention on the rights of the child, the minimum age for admission to employment was teemed to be 14 years and therefore all children up to the age of 14 years were further prohibited, the petitioner said.
The petitioner, submitted that the existing legislations on child labour which were not completely prohibiting it in all occupations and processes, were resulting in negation of all the fundamental and human rights guaranteed to the children under Article 14, 21-A, 23, 24, 39 (e) 39 (f), 41, 45 and 51-A (h), 61-A (j), 51-A (k) of the Constitution read with UN convention on the rights of the child and ILO minimum age convention, 1973.
The petitioner further submitted that the full time formal schooling alone ensured a descent and dignified life to the children for which they were entitled to under Article 21 of the Constitution.
Any attempt on part of the state to deny it, would violate the right in life as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution, the petitioner added

HWInfo doesn't seem to show the correct voltage values for the board in this PC. There's nothing showing reflecting any 12v or 5v values. I've attached the information I think you need. I have to give him his system this weekend so if you need tests or more information let me know soon. I use HWInfo to troubleshoot game performance issues he has (or had with his current system).
If you can, sure! I will have the system until Sunday.
Looks pretty good. The 12v, 5v and 3v information is there. I'm not sure which value reflects the CPU voltage (if that is even a value pulled from the system board or averaging from the CPU).
I've attached a new image and debug log for you to see.
Thanks for the feedback. Vcore should reflect the measured CPU Voltage.

Sailing For Peace is an independent record label based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Independent record label based in Zurich, Switzerland
Nov 15 No More Intimate Music
Patrik Schmid
Artists, SFP News
Rio Wolta returns with 'No More Intimate Music', delivering a record set between calm and storm, between introversion and extroversion. The intensity of the opus is heart-rending, sometimes filled with pain and a tad darker than his debut 'Swing For The Nation' (2015).
The 30-year-old musician fundamentally continues where his debut album stopped, pushing the interplay between ferality and romanticism one step further: 'No More Intimate Music' stages the up and downs, the coming and goings of despair and confidence, a dance between anger and euphoria. The songs ever-changing structures, sometimes whipped up by two drummers, sometimes grabbed by absolute silence, intensify that swing. Loud guitar hymns break into sensual ballads while choirs sing themselves into a trance. Each song has its own build-up and lasts as long as it needs to for all to be said. In the case of 'Intro', for instance, it means eight minutes. All this lends the record an unforeseeable character holding surprises till the end.
Rio Wolta recorded his second album with Helge van Dyk (Patent Ochsenr a.o) and Daniel Hobi (The Legendary Lightness) in France and Switzerland. Unlike for his debut, the band is accompanying him this time: Fabian Eichin (guitar, synths), Sereina Maria Elmer (vocals), Patrick Wallimann (bass), Patrik Schmid and Mario Kummer (both on drums).
While recording his second album the Zurich based artist has brought his ideas to life in other formats too. With 'Maschinen' (2016), 'Wir haben keine Zeit' (2017) and 'Showroom' (2018) he manages to create productions that can't seem to be put into one box: something between live concert, theatre, performance art and exhibit. It was his longing for spaces that was decisive for Rio Wolta. Mostly co-produced by the Zurich based theatre 'Gessnerallee', he has created these pieces together with the director Piet Baumgartner with whom he has worked for 7 years also collaborating on the award-winning excavator-ballet music-video 'Through My Street' (2015).
These productions lead Rio Wolta to foreign countries, specifically to the Far East. In 2017 the Red Gate Gallery in Beijing invited him for a residence and in 2018 Pro Helvetia sent him as the 'Upcoming Practitioner' to the Taipei Arts Festival. He combined each stay with a Rio Wolta live tour through China.
It's no surprise then that the records' title 'No More Intimate Music' is the same as the one chosen for the three live-evenings at the Gessnerallee in Zurich. In the attic of the former horse stable Rio Wolta and his band are showing an alternative to the classic release show performance. Instead songs are performed by six musicians in different spaces, fragmented, repeated and accelerated. Three hours without a beginning nor an end and the audience coming and going as it wishes.

Mia Farrow & Woody Allen's Son, Ronan Farrow, In Talks To Host MSNBC Show
By Joe Wilde in Movies / TV / Theatre on 03 October 2013
Follow Mia Farrow
Mia Farrow Woody Allen Alec Baldwin
Ronan, a human rights activist and journalist, is said to be in discussions with the network over fronting his own show
Ronan Farrow, the only biological child of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, looks like he may be joining MSNBC's weekend line-up with his very own show. Farrow, a journalist and human rights activist, is said to be in advanced talks with the usually-liberal network over a show in which he will address various human rights concerns and other political concerns. He probably won't be discussing the week's hottest gossip though, like whether his father might actually be Frank Sinatra.
Initially reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the show will be Farrow's first real leap into television, although he has appeared on MSNBC and CNN's programs in the past. The 25-year-old isn't being handed the job just because of his famous name either, as Ronan has a rich history of journalistic duties and charitable work behind him. Most recently, Farrow has worked for President Obama's foreign policy department as well as at the State Department, where he founded the Office of Global Youth Issues. He also served as an advisor to Hilary Clinton during the Arab Spring uprising.
Much like his mother, Ronan has long been a staunch campaigner for the protection of children caught in conflict, and despite his young age, has developed an impressive resume of charitable pursuits and work within various non-governmental organisations, in addition to his work with Obama and Clinton. He has addressed the ongoing AIDs pandemic in Africa and the genocide in Darfur and is a published journalist, writing on the subject of human rights for The Wall Street Journal, International Herald Tribune and The Atlantic.
Farrow's potential involvement in the network comes as MSNBC president Phil Griffin continues to toy around with the programme schedule, which has seen anchors Chris Hayes and Ed Schultz, and others, have their showtimes played around with since April this year. The talk of his potential addition to the line-up also comes ahead of the premiere episode of Alec Baldwin's new talk show, Up Late With Alec Baldwin, which will air this Friday (4 Oct.). The addition may also hope to continue MSNBC's reign as the second most successful news broadcaster, having edged CNN for the third quarter of the year. It still, regrettably, sits behind the conservative Fox News.

I'm back today with another gift idea for any ladies in your life who are into skincare. Skincare is quite a personal thing but the Clinique All About Moisture Set* is suitable for all skin types, however I think it would be best suited for anyone with a dryer skin type like myself, or if your skin tends to suffer during the winter months then this set would be great to perk your skin back up not to mention its a very lux gift set indeed.
This stuff is gorgeous, the lightweight cream-gel claims to comfortably plump the skin and gives you mega hydration for a full 24 hours and I have to agree. A little bit of this cream-gel certainly goes a long way and it almost instantly soaks into the skin so theres no waiting around before you can apply your makeup which is a bonus, Ive found after using this moisturiser for a while it's made my skin so soft, super moisturised, somewhat firm, alot more vibrant and my flaky patches are no existent.
This is a pretty impressive little bottle of goodness for your skin, it's an Aloe activated water facial spray that's perfect to pop into your handbag for on the go when your skins abit thirsty and needs a moister boost. I like to use the facial spray best when I'm having an extremely dry day, this happens to me alot when it very cold and windy out as there is alot less moisture in the environment, I simply hold it at arms length, close my eyes and gently spritz over my face then using my fingers I lightly tap it into my skin. It instantly replenishes my thirsty skin, restores moisture, soothes and leaves my skin soft and smooth without distracting any of my makeup, its also oil free so any oily skin suffers wont get caught with an oily surge if they use this either.
I love a good eye serum and this one certainly is a beauty. The Clinique All About Eyes Serum contains a de-puffing eye massage roller ball which helps massage away bags, refreshes, and hydrates puffy eyes on contact not to mention its super cooling and really wakes the eyes up in the mornings, especially if kept in the fridge which I'd highly suggest for best results. The Serum itself has that same cream-gel formula which sinks in around the delicate eye area beautifully and feels very nourishing, it really helps reduce my dark circles, brightens and soothes and all in all works great! It's also oil-free, non-irritating and Ophthalmologist tested.
Overall I think this would be an amazing luxurious gift for that special lady in your in life that you'd like to splash out on abit this year, whether it be for your Mum, Gran, Girlfriend, Sister or Auntie etc I think this gift set would be greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all ages.
You can find the Clinique All About Moisture Set on the Cosme-De.com website for £57.00, if you haven't heard of them before it's basically an online shopping site that sells all things beauty, skincare, fragrance, haircare plus more, they stock brands such as Benefit, Bioderma, Bobbi Brown, YSL, Estee Lauder and that's just to name a few so theres certainly plenty of choice on the website. Cosme-De are actually based in Hong Kong but ship worldwide for FREE on every order (whoop), their website is very clear and easy to use and all you have to do to get your preferred currency is scroll at the bottom of the website and click the little drop down box to choose, simple!
Have you tried anything from this Clinique Set before?? What did you think?? I'd love to know!
It's an amazing gift set for this time of the year, it's made my skin full so moisturised and looks so much more radiant too :) Thank you sweetie!
They are so lovely and fell so luxurious hehe. Thank you my lovelies!
Sounds like an amazing set, definetly what my skin needs at the minute!
I always think these sets make such good gifts as they are normally bits you want to try but can't quite justify buying yourself. Or maybe that is just because I adore Clinique!
The moisture spray has really caught my attention. I need to keep an eye out for it!


A couple of years ago, while sitting in the audience watching Jonathan Safran Foer chat about his book, Eating Animals, a lady at the mic chose to point out the "great hypocrisy" of wearing leather brogues while addressing an audience about cruelty-free consumption.
"How can you call yourself a vegan when you wear leather shoes?" she asked.
Ah, the question-and-answer portion of the evening always comes out with a few eye-rolling doozies, but her particular query wasn't entirely silly.
Freedom of Animals Mara backpack. Available at freedomofanimals.com.
Negotiating a passion for fashion with being a fully-fledged animal lover is something even the staunchest of granola-crunching, Vogue-devouring vegans struggle with.
Steering clear of pepperoni pizzas and soft cheese is a walk on easy street when compared with finding a shoe or handbag that doesn't involve calfskin, python, chinchilla or some other cute critter by-product.
A bit like vegan-friendly desserts, which includes soaked chia seeds passed off as pudding and pulverised avocado masquerading as cheesecake, vegan-friendly fashion options, largely made from pleather, plastic, faux fur and other nasty synthetics, tend to be underwhelming to say the least.
To help in your cruelty-free crusade, we've scoured the internet determined to find luxe, trendier-than-thou accessory labels dedicated to the cause. Of course, just because you wear leather and call yourself a vegan doesn't make you a hypocrite.
As Foer points out, why get tripped up over labels when every bit of change is a step in the right direction?
But for those determined to go down the purist path, it's good to know there are fashion-forward options out there.
So, to answer the question posed above, yes, you definitely can be.
And here are five animal-friendly handbag labels that prove just that.
Created by life-long vegan and Central Saint Martin's grad Morgan Bogle, Freedom of Animals is so chic, functional, minimalist and colour-blocked it's garnered itself comparisons to Céline. Yet unlike Céline, every bag is made of sustainable materials like recycled water bottles, utilises vegetable-based dyes and raises funds for wildlife conservation.
All Della's accessories are handcrafted in Hohoe, Ghana, by local women who've received employment, education and training through the brand. Everything from the slouchy hobo sling bags to the travel purses use West African Dutch wax-cloth material that's 100 per cent vegan and sustainable, with proceeds going toward local craftspeople and communities.
The name – derived from 'mat(t)erial and nature' – says it all. Committed to going leather free, the brand only uses eco-friendly materials such as recycled nylons, cardboard, rubber, cork and plastic bottles to make their classic shoppers, satchels and backpacks. The results are far from crunchy and earthy looking. Think Want Les Essentials de la Vie, minus the leather handles.
The best thing about vegan leather is that it's ultra affordable. You can therefore afford three Angela & Roi cross-body handbags for the price of your average cowhide one. We'll take one in every colour, please.
Whether you're on the lookout for a sequin-encrusted clutch or roomy weekender bag, Deux Lux has your perfect carryall companion. They only use animal-friendly synthetics, but their faux-leather offerings aren't tacky or cheap looking.
