1. The higher your fundraising goal, the more you will raise!
People respect an ambitious goal and are keen to help you achieve your target. The higher your fundraising goal the more inclined people are to show their support to help you on your way. Think about it, would you donate more to your friend if their goal was $100 or $10,000?
Put your money where your mouth is and start your fundraising campaign by sponsoring yourself first! If you are asking others to support you, then you should always be willing to make the first donation to show them you mean business (and the higher the first donation, the more inclined others are to follow).
3. Personalise your page and have some fun!
Make the effort and upload images, videos and a personal message as your friends and family want to know what is going on and how you are involved. Entertain them! People always show their support if you can make them laugh.
4. Use our emails template.
Send out one of the templated emails to all friends and colleagues in your address book. For simplicity you can keep your email simple, and one version can go to everyone. Or you can tailor this to address different subsets of your contact list such as friends / work colleagues / clients etc.
Schedule to send this email to everyone at least 3 times! Experience shows that many will mean to sponsor you when they see it the first time, and are happy to be reminded! The final email you send in the week of the event generally brings the greatest response especially if you have sent the email a number of times before!
5. Share your page with everyone!
Quite often the largest donations are by the people you least expect (it is really quite astounding), so share your page with colleagues, suppliers and clients and tell everyone what you are doing to support a great cause. The more people you communicate with, the more support you will receive.
6. Ask your employer if they match funds!
It is a great idea to apply for matched funding from your employer. By matching your team's fundraising your money is instantly doubled! We have prepared some information that might support you in making the request. Click here for more information about corporate dollar matching.
Organising a fundraising event is an effective way of gaining support, raising your profile and increasing the amount of funds you collect. We have prepared a few ideas of some of the fundraising events you could organise. Click here for more ideas for your own event.
"We are in the finance industry and when we emailed our colleagues we had great support. We have also decided to run a raffle at work with a Kindle Fire, which is not yet available in Australia, as the prize! Tickets will be $10 each and we expect to sell lots.
Don't forget to contact your local newspaper – media coverage is a great way to increase the impact of your fundraising. Local media love stories about local people doing interesting things, especially when it's for a good cause. Ask them to send a photographer to capture your team in training, or to your fundraising event – a photograph grabs people's attention. You can use media coverage as a platform to advertise your fundraising events or to solicit sponsorship from your local community. You would also be supporting us to get the word out about the event.
Sell logo space on your webpage to corporations and other businesses and give them something for their money!

ELCA Helping the Brotherhood's Desire to Change America's Constitution?
Sayyid Syeed is the interfaith liaison for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). In 2006 he was recorded saying, "[O]ur job is to change the constitution of America." (see here) ELCA Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson calls Dr. Sayyid Sayeed a close friend and at the 2011 ELCA Churchwide Assembly Hanson said the ELCA was committed "to walk together" with Syeed's organization, the ISNA. And they have. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is a close interfaith partner with the ISNA. (See documentation here).
A recent article in FrontPageMag.com speaks of the ISNA's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and exposes the reasons behind the ISNA's desire for forming interfaith partnerships, like that which they have with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. FrontPageMag.com reports that a 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memo,
lays out how the Brotherhood network must 'posses a mastery of the art of "coalitions," the art of "absorption," and the principles of "cooperation."' It explicitly talks about using the 'hands' of the 'nonbelievers' to advance its agenda.
The work of ISNA and its allies in forging interfaith partnerships is undoubtedly a fulfillment of this directive. ISNA has used these interfaith relationships to slam its critics as 'Islamophobes.'. . .
Syeed's preaching is echoed by Muzammil Siddiqi, a member at large of ISNA's board of directors. He was also the president from 1997 to 2000. He has spoken in support of the long-term implementation of Sharia Law and said in 2001 that Muslims 'should participate in the [democratic] system to safeguard our interest and try to bring gradual change for the right cause, the cause of truth and justice. We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction.' (see here)
In light of that information, read what Sayyid Sayeed said while speaking at the ELCA 2011 Churchwide Assembly, "(w)e have worked with your organization and leaders [and] we have seen this tireless leader of yours, who's been here for hours and hours. But I've seen him in the corridors of power speaking the truth about issues … whether it is about peace in the Middle East or anti-Muslim bigotry in America. . . we are working together in shaping the new millennium. . .It is a new millennium – your leadership is critical, your understanding is critical not only for this country but for the entire globe. You have set certain standards of cooperation, of understanding, those are a great asset for us, and it's with this kind of understanding that we will be moving forward. . .We pray God almighty to bless us and together deliver this mission that is ours." (see here)
Bishop Hanson said this at the same gathering, "We share a deep commitment to our growing relationship and dialog, but not just in dialog, in our working together to build a more peaceful and just world both in this country and in places of tension throughout the world." (see here)
Seems like the ELCA is a willing pawn, being used to help establish the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood.
So, an ostensibly Christian man wants to help schizophrenic Christophobes lay the foundation for destroying our democracy, and pave the way for barbaric Sharia law. One nation under Baal! This nation is sacrificing the unborn; judgment is surely coming. When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith on earth? And if so, in whom will it be? Lord Jesus, come quickly to deliver us from the Great Apostasy as it unfolds before our very eyes! Those who were entrusted with shepherding Your Church are now destroying it from within. Behold, your house is laid desolate. Kyrie eleison...

ProSportsDaily.com > Basketball > NBA > Coach Pop on Lebron: "He's grown. He's a grown man. He knows more than all of you...
View Full Version : Coach Pop on Lebron: "He's grown. He's a grown man. He knows more than all of you...
sunnyice
Here's the full quote:
"He's a grown man," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "He doesn't need any of you to tell him anything. He knows more than all of you put together. He understands the game. If he makes a pass and you all think he should have shot it, or he shoots it and you think he should have made a pass, your opinions mean nothing to him, as they should not mean anything to him."
Pop is a badass and he hates the media:clap:
http://twitpic.com/cw2vcj
h2r09
Hes right.
ChitownBears22
Another reason to love Pop. He doesn't care about his media perception. He just cares about the W and the game of basketball.
We need the "Leave Britney Alone" guy to do a video for Lebron.
RiceOnTheRun
Pop is a beautiful man.
Major respect right here, and rightfully deserved. The best part is, every single word he said was true.
lamzoka
pop needs to open an account on PSD.
JeremiahWing
Already thought he was the best coach in the NBA. Now he's my favorite.
t_money25
Ultimate rebel of a coach next to Bob Knight minus the f-bombs. I love the way he intimidates reporters when they ask him questions about his in-game strategies. No one hates the media more than POP!!
ChitownSports16
All he saying is, "Lebron, keep doing what your doing so we have a better chance of beating you."
All Chitownsports16 is saying is "yeah I am still bitter about getting whooped by Miami.......again"
tredigs
I was actually wondering for a second if Pop was pulling some next level metagame, but I'm pretty sure he's just being honest and enjoying patronizing the media.
TestedWest
So essentially, pop is trying to play mind games with Lebron by trying to get him to over think. That's what I get out of this.
kdspurman
He might be lol.. But I think he's being honest too. But that doesn't mean there isn't necessarily a little more to it.
Do people really think players even care about this stuff. It is for the fans not for the players. How many times do you think LeBron has heard this crap in his lifetime. It isn't new.
stawka
b@llhog24
Pop is ****ing epicness embodied.
It's called reverse psychology. Instead of firing him up by saying the wrong thing, he says the total opposite. Spurs are probably the most advanced team in the league and they have shut players down in the past by solely getting into their heads.
Maybe LeBron is really stupid and he took it to heart. Now he is super confident and will win the NBA, not only the Finals, but the NBA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmfaooo if that's what ya wanna think, go for it.
This is nothing but mind games. Pop is no dummy! This is also why he's a great coach.
Yeah and maybe LeBron was playing mind games with Pop in his interview. Both understand what is going on they have been here before, it won't affect anything.
majmarcus
Gotta love Poppo
Waht. Lol. Lebron has shown that he's prone to mental lapses in the past/It doesn't take much to get in his head.
I want proof of this. Are you a trained psychologist or are you playing one on PSD.
You don't have to be a phycologist to know his weaknesses lol. A prime example is his committed turnovers when the games on the line/not to mention his missed free throws. He just doesn't seem to keep his poise when it matters most. It all goes back to Pop and what he's trying to accomplish by saying this.
bucketss
if it doesn't take much than why the hell doesn't every team make sure they do it, i mean this guy is the most dominate player in the league since shaQ, you would think it would be used more often
So when he wins this series and destroys your theory will you write a thread with the phrase "I am a moron and I play one in real life" 10,000 times?
Please no logic, just repeat the verbal garbage of skip bayless.
Scott Brooks should have done this last year if it was so simple.
NYG+Braves
i wonder if Pop and Belichek r best friends.
Spurs are a different story. Sure he can easily avoid mental lapses from other teams, this is the big stage and it DOENST help that it's against the spurs. Don't get me wrong I'm not discrediting the guy in any fashion I'm just trying to say don't be suprised if this comment messes with his mind a bit in the upcoming game.
NBA_Starter
Pop gonna Pop
ryang
You think pop saying this will mess with Lebrons game plan? Lmao. Wishful thinking at its best
Im not talking about whether he wins or loses, I just said his play will be negatively affected by these comments. Sure Wade and Bosh will step up and I expect this to be a competitive series, again, just don't be surprised if he misses a couple extra shots in the next few games.
We shall see. I don't hope for anything lol. Think outside the box, Spurs like to think that way.
You figured it out so it couldn't be that intricate of a plan to be considered outside the box.
ztilzer31
Is this your first year watching basketball?
Spurs are known for avoiding the media, and not being very vocal in games when it comes to the other team. Spurs are mentally tough for sure, but they definitely don't play these supposed "mind games". Pop is the Belichick of the NFL. He hates the media, and avoids talking to them at all costs.
Well I'd like to think that I think out of the box as well...
Its called being more objective. Am I a Heat fan? Yes and I have been for almost 10 years. Do I reveal particular bias like most other heat fans? Not one bit.
That's true. But don't you consider any possible factors in trying to slow the Heat down? U can believe what u want about the mind games and that nature but in actuality, Spurs will always be the more mentally tough team at the end of the day.
ManRam
Pops :worthy:
LeBron can never do good. What he was doing worked great for the vast majority of the game. The Spurs just went on a run and the Heat went cold. He was getting everyone involved, getting open three point shots (something they couldn't do in IND), and other easy baskets. I think that was more important for most of the game than him shooting a zillion times. But I'm sure if he should a zillion times and they lost people would be blasting him for not passing more.
And he does know more than any of us, so I'm not going to pretend that anything I just said is right (besides the "he'll get crap either way")
A lot of it was due to how the Spurs defended and packed the paint, virtually forcing Lebron to do that. I know you're not the biggest believer in how the Spurs play defense :p But that's really what they did, it was by design. Lebron took what the defense gave him, which is what any guy in his position should do.
The other problem for them offensively, is just no flow to their offense. It's a combination of good defense as well, and bad play calling. Now not sure if that's Spo or Lebron or both, but it became very predictable. it's the same offense they were running in the first half, just their shots were not falling & SA did a much better job of contesting the shooters (except Bosh who they didn't care if he shot or not) they couldn't get into the paint consistently enough in the 4th quarter. I think we see them force the issue a little more tomorrow in terms of getting in the paint and getting to the line.
I thought it was pretty awesome that Pop said this. Steve Smith on NBA TV didn't agree with it :laugh2: he felt he knew/knows more about the game than Lebron.
Btw,This guy breaks down their offensive struggles pretty well
http://www.bballbreakdown.com/nba-finals-game-1-how-the-heats-offense-let-them-down/
SportsFanatic10
lol pop's interviews rarely disappoint.
hugepatsfan
He's right. I don't like Lebron and I root against him but he's ****ing amazing at basketball both physically and mentally. I still don't think he's a great leader (he "leads" his team just by being the best player - I don't think he has the type of traits that could make an average player a team leader) but there really isn't anything else to criticize him for.
lol, please
You can say that about any self-respecting professional athlete. Big deal. You should, or what are you doing there? Fans and media will always talk and play armchair coach.
KnickaBocka.44
Exactly. Which only adds more credence to the theory that the comments may have been a message to Lebron.
I dont think that pop had a hidden agenda for his message.
Pop uses mind games but I think he only does it in while in a game. Like constantly changing match ups throughout the game and taking lebron out of the play even on the defensive end. Spoelstra has to be careful, going against Pop is going to be a nightmare for him.
D-Leethal
Pop is the ****ing man but I do think he should have a little more respect for the media. I understand the media is annoying but Pop is not a millionaire and the NBA is not the NBA without media publicity.
I don't think Pop is playing mindgames there. He speaks from the heart, if he says something he means it and thats how he truly feels. No BS with that dude.
JerseyPalahniuk
Exactly. Phil Jackson sparks me more as the guy who would play "mind games." Pop is no BS, just speaks whatever is on his mind.
amos1er
What is Lebron's game plan? To fill his stat sheet and not come through at the end of the game?
his game plan is to choke
the life out of his opponents.
lulz.
LeperMessiah
that's why Pops is a G ladies and gentlemen.
Not at all. The media can be just as disrespectful at times.
MrfadeawayJB
what a bawssss
The media has no obligation to write praise. They have an obligation to write what they see. There are bad apples anywhere but the majority of the media write genuine pieces and Pop treats them like they have no business in the sport. There is no million dollar contracts for coaches without media. The NBA is not the global phenomenon it is without the media. Its a necessary evil in a way and coaches should respect that side of the business. Everyone reserves the right to get ticked off but Pop treats them as a complete joke for asking him legitimate questions in every single press conference or interview.

He would hate all of the nonsense on this site. He would curse us all out and delete his account hours after signing up.
The Media's there to oversensualize things. It's best highlighted when a media member asked "How did you know [Manu] was going to kickstart your offense?", he simply replies "Because he's Manu Ginobili"
Perfectly legitimate response if you ask me. The Spurs don't pay him to create storylines or anything of the sort, they pay him to win games. They asked him what he thought of Lebron and how he's different and he gave it to them straight up, no sugarcoating.
The threads would auto-lock after his posts. One does not simply argue/disagree with Pop.
The media is there to move the sport forward as much as anything else. Its there to create worldwide publicity. Its integral to the NBA machine. He doesn't need to talk down to them in a condescending manner every single time they ask him legitimate questions. I personally love the Pop interviews but he should have more respect for the guys who have done their part to make the NBA what it is today.
I guess that's where we differ in our opinions. I personally supported Roy Hibbert calling out the 'mother****ing' media for not following the Pacers too much because hell, we all know it was true. Likewise, Pop calls out the entire room for putting their feet in their mouths. It's also probably true that Lebron does know more about the game than any of them yet you have to admit they've over-criticized him far too often.
Like you said, it's their job to move the sport forward and create publicity, not Pops. His job is to win and he does it quite well. Anyways, he gave them a headline, didn't he?

"The Rapid Deterioration of Democratic Norms in Israel"
In today's [06.21.01] Ma'ariv, a right-wing institute calling itself "Palestinian Media
Watch" launched an attack on Uri Avnery, for "inciting the Palestinians to continue the Intifada."The accusations are an effort to deprive opponents of the occupation of their right to free expression.
In his article "An Interim Balance Sheet: Who won? " Uri Avnery of the Gush Shalom movement analyses the supposed aims of the two sides in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian war of attrition. The article was spread a few days
ago through the internet. One of the papers who published it (in translation) was the Palestinian daily Hayat Al-Jadida.
In today's [06.21.01] Ma'ariv, a right-wing institute calling itself "Palestinian Media Watch" launched an attack on Uri Avnery, for "inciting the Palestinians to continue the Intifada."
The settler pirate radio station Arutz-7 elaborated on the theme and reported that a complaint to the police was lodged against Avnery for "incitement to murder" (sic).
Avnery calls upon the public to view the text in question: http://www.avnery-news.co.il/index.html . It is available in Hebrew, and in English translation and it could be easily seen that what he wrote is a sober analysis of the terrible situation in which we all are.
The accusations are an effort to deprive opponents of the occupation of their right to free expression – part of the deligitimation campaign
whose main targets so far were the Arab Knesset Members.
The bill now pending in the Knesset which would specifically legalize "a call for killing a member of a terrorist organization" is
another example of the rapid deterioration of democratic norms in Israel.
So is the Knesset ethics committee's proposal to include the term "an army of occupation" among terms which would be forbidden for Knesset Members to use from the floor.

Precarious Work Destroying Workers' Lives in Nigerian Oil & Gas Industry
emmanuel ajibule2018-10-03T15:58:37+00:00
Precarious work destroying workers' lives in Nigerian oil and gas industry Contract work and casualization of the oil and gas industry is having a dire impact on trade unions and the lives of workers in Nigeria, according to IndustriALL Global Union's affiliates in African's largest oil producing country.
Some 25 representatives from IndustriALL affiliates, the National Union of Petroleum & Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Petroleum & Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) met in the southern city of Port Harcourt for an oil and gas workshop on 19 and 20 September 2018.
Testimonials from members of NUPENG, which represents blue-collar workers, and PENGASSAN, which represents white collar workers, revealed the extent to which precarious work in the sector is undermining unions and leading to a vicious cycle of poverty.
Participants worked across a range of companies including: Total, Shell, Indorama, the Nigerian Agip Oil Company, Plant Geria and Halliburton. All NUPENG's members are contract workers, while PENGASSAN reported that jobs that were once permanent are now being casualized, even though the work remains the same. Participants reported that in some cases workers are made redundant and then immediately being rehired for the same job with no medical insurance, life insurance or redundancy benefits.
The gulf between working conditions experienced by permanent staff and contract workers in the industry is huge, said participants and unions agreed that more should be done to close the gap. A contract worker could earn around US$280 a month for doing the same job as a permanent worker earning around US$2,000, or even more.
Furthermore, precarious work is being used by the oil companies to destroy unions. Contract workers often find they are unlikely to get rehired once they join a union, while white-collar workers find do not have the same access to training or promotion opportunities if they are union members.
Unions also said Nigerian workers do not have the same training opportunities as foreign workers, and that expatriates are being used to do jobs that could easily be done by Nigerian workers. Stagnant wages are another major problem, with NUPENG saying that wages have not increased since 2014, and in some cases longer.
Health and safety is an ongoing issue and unions agreed that workers need to be better educated about the rights, especially when it came to health and safety. Industry 4.0 is affecting the industry – an accountant from PENGASSAN said that part of his role had been taken over by a robot at his company.
Automation is also being used to do jobs in the lubricant sector, such as labelling and filling cans. Vassey Lartson, a Shell Lab Technician and union representative, who attended the workshop on behalf of the United Steelworkers (USA), told participants he was shocked by the wage disparity between Shell workers in the USA and those in Nigeria. Vassey joined a visit to meet workers at a Shell facility in Port Harcourt the day before the workshop, which included a visit to workers' impoverished homes.
The meeting also included a reportfrom Charles Egwabor, a lawyer from Port Harcourt, who said high unemployment in Nigeria made it easier to casualize the labour market, which in turn further increases poverty in the country.
IndustriALL's director for energy, Diana Junquera Curiel, said: "This workshop has been truly valuable in hearing the problems and challenges facing unions in Nigeria first-hand. We commend our affiliates in their battle to fight precarious work as well as the other challenges in the industry, and we stand by to support them as they campaign for decent work in the oil and gas sector."

A Photography Studio in Taiwan Interweaves Old and New Through Layers of Transparency
Bon Appetit Photography Studio
Hsinchu city

Project Name Bon Appetit Photography Studio Posted in Interior Design Location
Area (sqm) 165
Natural light is a key component in professional photoshoots, so when Taiwanese practice Han-Yue Interior Design was commissioned to transform an existing building built in the early 1980s in Hsinchu city in north-western Taiwan into a photography studio, they introduced a series of transparent and translucent layers that allow ample daylight to percolate throughout the interiors. At the same time, they have managed to harmoniously combine the building's period features with a contemporary aesthetic of subdued elegance, making Bon Appetit Photography Studio a welcoming workspace of whimsical beauty.
In order to increase the amount of natural light entering the interior, a large portion of the ground floor façade was reconstructed in glass blocks thereby imbuing the building with a sense of weightlessness. The use of glass bricks has also been extensively used inside to create translucent partitions that allow daylight to reach deep inside the building without sacrificing privacy. To that end, the designers also preserved the building's wood-framed foldup windows, which are now dispersed in the studio's interiors allowing visual contact between rooms and facilitating ventilation, while a permeable brickwork screen dividing the reception-lounge area from the working areas also enables the propagation of daylight. The decorative screen also echoes the geometric composition of the glass block walls as well as the bold geometric patterns of the black and white marble flooring which has been kept intact.
Besides the marble flooring and foldup windows, the designers also preserved and restored the wooden front door and the fence-like wall that shields the first-floor terrace from prying eyes. While such retro elements, which hark back to the architecture of the Japanese colonial era, are whimsically complemented by colour-washed walls, terrazzo surfaces and vintage furniture, the interiors feel neither dated nor quaint thanks to an underlying sensibility of contemporary minimalism reflected in clean lines and uncluttered spaces. What's more, bold gestures such as painting part of the ceiling a forest-green and introducing curved surfaces further imbue the spaces with a modern aesthetic. Perhaps what best encapsulates the playful fusion of past and present and old and new however, is the sleek bench that the designers seamlessly incorporated into the front of the building which connects the new photography studio with the surrounding neighbourhood.

Obama Mocks Trump and GOP Candidates
Updated Apr. 24, 2017 3:44PM ET / Published May. 01, 2011 3:52AM ET
President Obama ribbed all the potential GOP presidential contenders, joking that Rep. Michele Bachmann was born in Canada—"Yes, Michele, this is how it starts"—that former Governor Tim Pawlenty's middle name is "Hosni," and that Rep. Paul Ryan couldn't be there because "his budget has no room for laughter." But the one that everyone was paying attention to was Donald Trump, who was seated at Table 98, a guest of The Washington Post. "You, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership," Obama said. "And so ultimately, you didn't blame Lil Jon or Meat Loaf. You fired Gary Busey. These are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir." Seth Meyers followed Obama, saying "The New York Times [after-party] used to be free, but apparently there's a cover now," so he would be attending the Huffington Post party, which "is asking people to go to other parties first and steal food and drinks." Though the dinner was mostly comedy, Obama ended his speech on a solemn note, by calling attention to the devastation in the South, the unrest in the Middle East, and the sacrifice of the nation's armed forces and journalists. "We've seen daring men and women risk their lives for the simple idea that no one should be silenced, and everyone deserves to know the truth," said Obama.

A couple of us visited a Sample Store event, Giftopia, held at Raffles City Atrium (level 3) this morning. It ended up being much fun, and here are some highlights from various stores that interested us!
Here you go (and you're welcome)!
If you need gifts, this list will help provide you with some inspiration for the upcoming festive season!
Distributed under Karmart, an importer and exporter of more than 2000 cosmetics and beauty products, Reun Rom and Cathy Doll offers interesting and affordable beauty products. Some that caught our attention was the Mango Sticky Rice hand cream from Reun Rom and Cathy Doll's Sweet Dream Gold Splash Essence with Bee Venom, which we tried and loved! Be sure to check their products out!
Inexpensive, unique and with a kiss of all the tribal feels, this handmade accessories store caught our eye with their lovely bracelets. You can be sure that each bracelet was made from scratch and classified into various themes (the dreamer, kinship, goddess, seeker, etc) that you will definitely identify yourself with, at least, one of them.
A trained teacher who began her journey in the world of clay had her beginnings from a handbuilding class in year 1999. Since then, she has amassed an experience studying and learning from ceramics masters in various countries. Her products are lovely and now as an experienced teacher, she also conducts pottery workshops / classes for those interested in the art of ceremics creation.
My friends went crazy after seeing that a temporary stencil hand-drawn tattoo art was available and had not regretted waiting in line to get their temporary 'tatts' from Christopher and his friend, Martin. The results were lovely and Christopher can be contacted from his facebook page or Instagram if you also wish to get real ones.
Another talented accessories handcrafter onsite! Other than jewelry, they also handmake other stuff, like bags & pouches and home goods!
Did you know you could book services from more than 80 beauty salons on this website? Vaniday allows you to discover beauty & wellness salons in your area and you can directly book your an appointment through them! They also offer special offers on their website from time to time. At the sample store event, they were offering nail services, so girls, check them out!
I loved these handmade cuties! Each piece is unique and really cute! You'll see many owl designs made by this 2 stores, so do check them out and bring someone a smile with an unique gift that no other will have.
I'm loving this brand as they are currently donating 15% of their proceeds to the Breast Cancer Foundation for their limited edition 'Check Them Buns' brush kit ($119). The Singapore brand was created in year 2013 to produce synthetic brushes which are kind to the animals! What's more, the brushes feel really good and the brush pouches (travel pouch shown below) are really pretty!
Travel pouch in leather-style white and mint green! So pretty!
We all know that flowers, along with their beauty, don't last. But a handmade bouquet for that unique someone, will. With their expertise on handmade textured bouquets, these adorable flower items will bring an lasting touch to your special occasions.
Love comics? Your childhood was awesome. Now you can take a piece of your favourite comic characters with you. These items are made with cutouts from real comic pages from, yes, real comic books. They did this so well and I felt like buying so many of them! Each one is special and unique. You name it, they have it: Keychains, cufflinks, earrings. Your special someone will appreciate this wonderful gift that brings them back to their childhood. Can you guess which is my favourite?
A new local brand which launched its products at the start of year 2016: Each of their products contain skin loving ingredients such as argan oil, aloe vera leaf extracts, raspberry fruit extracts, grapefruit fruit extracts, vitamin B5, vitamin E and are kept at a constant pH5.5 which is great at its moisture keeping properties. One of the products which interested me was its lotions, which was available at varying levels of 'oiliness'. I liked the watery texture of its 0% oiliness lotion as it was moisturising and moisturising without any, well, oiliness.
Made in Australia, this skincare brand caught our eyes with the upcoming trend: Coffee Body Scrub and its multi-purpose Pure Emu Oil (with a choice of Lavender or unscented). We loved its Pure Emu Oil (tried and tested) as we were able to use it on any part of our body, from head to toe. Though it was oil, it was absorbed very quickly into the skin and the skin was moisturised so well. It can even be used when you have breakouts (but this varies from person to person). Still, we love it for its multi-usability.
Now, minimalism is the in thing. We loved how these accessories had a nice feel to it and what's more: these simple yet attractive jewelry are also available for customisation at request.
The creation of two childhood friends who have had years in graphic design translated into a business full of messages of love and happiness. Other than offering lovely prints and cards with special designs, the shop owners also brought the business further by providing customised designs, event styling and graphic designing services.
The Giftopia event, hosted by Sample Store, will be available at Raffles City Atrium at Level 3 (15 & 16 October, 1pm to 9pm) with welcome gifts, sure win lucky spin and more!
There'll also be a daily lucky draw at 3 timeslots (2pm, 5pm & 8pm) with $8,000 worth of prizes to be won. If that doesn't interest you, visit the various stores onsite for exclusive product offers on their bestselling items.

Zoe Saldana sorry for playing Nina Simone in 2016 biopic
Marvel star Zoe Saldana has apologised for playing revered singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone in a much-maligned 2016 biopic.
Saldana, who is of Dominican and Puerto Rican decent, was criticised at the time for taking the lead role in Nina, which involved darkening her skin and wearing a prosthetic nose to look more like Simone.
Simone's daughter was among those questioning the casting decision, while the late singer's estate refused to endorse the film.
"I should have never played Nina," Saldana said during an interview on Instagram with Pose creator Steven Canals.
The 42-year-old actress, who plays Gamora in the Marvel films, added: "I should have done everything in my power with the leverage that I had 10 years ago, which was a different leverage, but it was leverage nonetheless.
"I should have done everything in my power to cast a black woman to play an exceptionally perfect black woman."
Saldana, also known for appearing in Avatar, said Simone, who died in 2003 at the age of 70, "deserved better".
"I thought back then that I had the permission (to play her) because I was a black woman," Saldana said.
Zoe Saldana in Nina
"And I am. But it was Nina Simone. And Nina had a life and she had a journey that should have been - and should be - honoured to the most specific detail because she was a specifically detailed individual."
Breaking down in tears, Saldana added: "With that said: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know better today and I'm never going to do that again."
Saldana's regret at the role marks a departure from her previous comments defending her part in the film.
Speaking to Allure in 2016, the mother of three said: "There's no one way to be black. You have no idea who I am. I am black. I'm raising black men. Don't you ever think you can look at me and address me with such disdain."
Nina holds a 2 per cent rating on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.

Labrador Dog Absolutely Loves Sliding Down The Stairs
This adorable Labrador puppy goes sliding down the stairs in style!
Uganda has accused the U.S. ambassador in the country of seeking to subvert last week's presidential election. That's after the American embassy in Kampala said Nathalie E. Brown was prevented from visiting opposition leader Bobi Wine at his home, which has been surrounded by security forces since the vote. President Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986, was declared winner of the poll though Wine and his National Unity Platform want to legally challenge the results. Museveni claims the election may turn out to be the most "cheating free" in Uganda's history. The U.S. embassy has said the vote was tainted by harassment of opposition candidates, suppression of media and rights advocates and a nationwide internet shutdown. It said Ambassador Brown visited Wine's compound to try and check on his health and safety. But government spokesman Ofwono Opondo claimed, without providing evidence, that Ambassador Brown had a track record of causing trouble in countries where she worked. "But what she has been trying to do blatantly is to meddle in Uganda's internal politics, particularly elections, to subvert our elections, and the will of the people." The public rebuke to the United States is relatively unusual as the two nations are allies. Washington supports Ugandan soldiers serving in an African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia and has donated about $1.5 billion to Uganda's health sector in the past three years. Troops have prevented Wine - real name Robert Kyagulanyi - from leaving his home since he returned from voting on Thursday (January 14). On Tuesday (January 19) he said he and his wife have run out of food, and milk for their niece. Her father has been refused entry to collect the 18-month-old, Wine wrote on Twitter. A police spokesman said a motorcycle courier had delivered food to Wine's house each day. On Tuesday Wine's lawyers filed a petition in the high court challenging the legality of detaining Wine and his wife without charge.
Spectacular Northern Lights over frozen forest and river
The local photographer who captured the lights in freezing temperatures of -25 degrees Celcius, said they appeared at around 2100 local time (1900GMT) on Monday and only faded after 0500 local time (0300GMT) on Tuesday. He said the most breathtaking moment happened around midnight when he was treated to a magnificent display of the lights, also known as aurora borealis, in the skies for half an hour

Treasury-funded insurance for care homes taking Covid patients discharged from hospitals
Care homes will be given Treasury-funded "time-limited" insurance cover to encourage them to take more Covid patients discharged from hospitals. It comes after the Government sparked concerns by updating its official guidance to allow "non-infectious" hospital patients to be discharged into care homes without needing a Covid test in the 48 hours prior. In a written statement, Nadhim Zahawi, the vaccines minister, said on Tuesday that the Government "will introduce a targeted and time-limited indemnity offer to fill gaps in commercial cover" for care homes that are prepared to admit Covid-positive patients. For months, providers have highlighted problems insuring themselves against claims of clinical negligence, amid calls for the sector to be given indemnity like the NHS. Acknowledging that "obtaining sufficient insurance has been a barrier", Mr Zahawi said the cover would last for around eight weeks until mid-March. But the Government has not yet clarified when the scheme will launch or how providers can sign up for cover, or revealed the eligibility criteria. Some have questioned whether the measure will adequately ease the NHS capacity crisis because care home owners are so reluctant to accept residents where there is a risk of introducing coronavirus. They fear a repeat of the rapid spread of infections caused by a Government diktat of March 19 last year which said infected patients could be discharged into care homes without a test. The widely-criticised policy was blamed for care homes accounting for roughly half of all excess deaths – 25,374 – between March 7 and September 18, according to the Office for National Statistics. Mike Padgham, the chairman of the Independent Care Group, said care providers would "need the insurance to last for longer" and questioned why it did not include business interruption cover. "If a care provider had an outbreak of Covid and has to close temporarily, indemnity insurance wouldn't cover the loss of income," he said.
European Union states should aim to vaccinate at least 70% of their adult populations against COVID-19 by the summer, the European Commission recommended on Tuesday. Each of the EU's 27 governments are managing their own vaccination campaigns, including their pace and which groups get priority. The Commission's recommendations are not binding.

When I was a kid, the words "book fair" meant only one thing: my parents would give me twenty dollars, and–during some prescribed hour of the day–our elementary school classroom would be walked (single-file, remember) to the media center, where we would find a fenced-in compound of for-sale kids' books. They were colorful. They were lightweight. They were arranged by age, so that we (the third-graders) could sneer at the all-picture books of the kindergarteners, or marvel at the no-picture books of the 5th-graders. I would come home with a stack of books, simultaneously excited at having scored so much loot, and terrified at now having to read it all.
The book fairs have changed now, of course, but the overall experience has not.
And I actually had the chance to take my 3-month-old son to his first book fair, the UCF Book Festival, just a few weeks ago.
Yes, that's Jackson up above, tugging on the Cat in the Hat's bowtie.
His experience will someday mirror my own, I'm certain, and he'll have stacks of Roald Dahl books, and maybe his own copy of The Curse of the Blue Figurine, and How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, and all that. But…well, his first book fair didn't quite go the way I planned. The bright lights, the screaming children, the Dr. Seuss characters bopping around…yeah, Jackson was crying pretty hard by the time we got through the kid's section, so we high-tailed it out of there.
And this past weekend, when visiting my parents for Easter Weekend, I got to walk through the Venice International Book Festival. Jackson came along, also, and the experience wasn't quite so traumatic…this time, it was just a few older women running up to him (no crazy costumes) to tickle his chin.
The Venice Book Festival was by far the smallest of the book fairs (AWP had over 10,000 registrants, and thousands of journals and publishers, and the UCF Book Fest was held on the floor of the school's arena and packed with children's publishers), but there was something endearing about the way that I heard local residents talking about it. Venice is no stranger to art festivals or food & wine festivals, but this was the first time that anyone in the city had actually organized a festival dedicated entirely to books. I don't want to go so far as to make any grand pronouncements about the future of print, or online publishing, or the Kindle, etc. Those sorts of pronouncements and arguments are best saved for the AWP Conference, where there are nearly 1,000 total panels dedicated to beating the subjects of writing/reading to death, then beating some more. No, the Venice festival has no relevance to those arguments. It was just…nice. It was nice to see a few tents gathered on one small road, and a couple readings and lectures delivered in the nearby Venice Theater building, and a community that–despite the hyperbolic name of "international book festival"–had no higher ambitions than to buy some books, sell some books, and read some books. There were no agendas, other than raising money for a local literacy group.
Interestingly, I also got to see my father on the news that afternoon (he's the mayor of Venice), standing in the middle of the street and talking about how great it was to see the community celebrate reading and literacy, and add another fun festival to the town's list of cultural events. To be absolutely frank, I don't think I've ever really heard my father talk about books before; occasionally I buy him a book for Christmas, and I've come to recognize the titles on the spines on a hundred leather-bound books in his office, but I've never seen him out at the pool reading, or in the living room on a rocking chair with a book in his lap. Until he ran for mayor, he was always a numbers man, an investment banker who read business news and stock tickers, but (as far as I know) no fiction or poetry or even biography. And yet here he was, speaking genuinely about the community's need for events such as this one, and expressing real joy at the town's warm reception for the festival.
To be frank, my own books wouldn't have sold at the Venice International Book Festival. Most of the booths were selling kids' books, or WWII memoirs, the sort of stuff that goes over pretty well in a retirement community like Venice where grandmothers leave the festival with stacks of new books for their grandbabies (my mother came home with quite a few new books for grandbaby Jackson!), and there probably wasn't a foul word in any of them. The Venetians would have read a single page of my stuff, and they would have tossed it aside. And at the time, walking through the festival, that was my first thought: I don't belong here.
But that isn't the point, and I feel just a bit ashamed for having that thought at the ready during my time in Venice. It wasn't about me. It was about books. Books, books, books. And it was about them: everyone else. For everyone else at the Venice festival, it was about reliving that feeling that from third grade, twenty-dollar bill in hand, unleashed in the colorful playpen in the middle of the media center, the world around you opening brighter.
There's nothing quite like that feeling. And though I'm now tougher to please with my own literary tastes (and I've got to go to gigantic airport hangars to have my fill of books), it was good to see the city of Venice get that feeling back.

Makeup and beauty is incredibly fun. There's an excitement to playing around with different products, allowing you harness your creativity. That being said, it is incredibly special when a brand goes above and beyond products to start a conversation about important social issues.
NUDESTIX (one of my absolute favourite beauty brands) has partnered with Love Is Louder, a project that is part of The Jed Foundation created to support anyone feeling misunderstood, alone or mistreated. This movement, created with actress Brittany Snow, emphasizes that love and support is louder than the voices that bring us down.
When I attended the media brunch with NUDESTIX last month, the team revealed their personal connection to the cause through their experiences with depression and bullying, both unfortunate circumstances that plague so many of us. This is a very personal initiative for the NUDESTIX team and something I am honoured to support.
It is incredibly unfortunate that depression, loneliness, bullying and negative self-image are such prevalent issues. This growing negativity calls for us to change the conversation, be more positive and support one another. Now get to your social media, post your #LoveIsLouder photos/videos and support a great cause!
