that puts everyone in touch with everyone.
Quotient or DNA? That's the question.
If you have a Digital Quotient, you've learned most of your way through Microsoft Office, AOL, Hotmail or some other free email service and more than likely have your "tech guy" on speed dial. If you have Digital DNA, you probably had a MAC before Apple was chic, must have the latest gear and don't need to flaunt it (you buy the plain black skin for it without a logo) and you can't wait to get your sticky little fingers (from late night Twinkies, of course) on any new apps, programs, code, inside news, gossip AND your hacker's on speed dial.
The idea that business, at bottom, is fundamentally human.
That engineering remains second-rate without aesthetics.
That natural, human conversation is the true language of commerce.
That corporations work best when the people on the inside have the fullest contact possible with the people on the outside.
Fade out. Fade in. It's the 2011, Ad Age Digital Conference here in New York City and the same principle applies. The conference is sold out and yet, the Keynote and other speakers, pretty much reiterate the same idea that those guys did. The difference is that marketers have to have their backs, or bucks, against the wall before they get the message.
This year's conference was mostly about this. About staying out of the consumer's way. About NOT selling but joining. About being a buddy (as in Media Buddy) and not a bully. About EXpression, not IMpression. The market place is changing so rapidly that we marketers and advertisers can't consume the information about this change fast enough. As a sidebar, the year one Ad Age Digital conference had no sponsorship dollars at all. Now in only five years time, there are more than twenty. Presentations were delivered by such important companies as Google, Electronic Arts, Samsung, Lexus, Best Buy, Converse, Dell and more.
Aren't We Always Rethinking Advertising?
First there were cave walls. Fast forward to print, radio, TV, satellite, digital etc etc. Each one of these innovations brings a retrench. Most professional marketers know this and still, there's a lot of time and money spent measuring past results to predict future ones.
Social Activity (like communities, polls, Q&A, notifications, status, comments, games, group buying, virtual currency, social missions, social goods, check ins and the rest) is the largest consumption of time spent on the Internet today. To get marketers in the stream of activity means leaning forward like your customers are. This is activity, Folks, not media. Before activity was outside of advertising, now a marketer can leverage activity in the mainstream to have contact with 100 million people on a monthly basis to, say, help consumers build a virtual city.
Brand Lift Is The New Holy Grail.
the new marketplace is not necessarily a market at all.
participants are audience to each other.
If you aren't hip to this, sorry, but you're already behind the eight ball. That is to say, if you're still looking at click through rates as a measurement, forget it. If you're still living in a world of display-click-impressions-banner ad next to content, the digital ecosystem has shifted to the next gear, the new way in which consumers view the brand. The flailing that research was doing while the ship was turning from past performance to real time left a lot of people, technological innovation and creative ideation mistakenly in its wake. Now, the tools for this have gotten a lot more sophisticated in a very short time. Companies like Point Roll and AppsSavvy would like to help you optimize your exposure. Marketers who are finally asking the right questions (not how big they are on ComScore and Nielsen and how many pages they have) but instead, "what are PEOPLE doing", have a shot.
Friendster, Napster, MySpace, Facebook. What do they all have in common?
The answer is freedom. Each in its time carved a space for open discussion and sharing of ideas (creative branding or otherwise) Free space for anyone and anything to be highly energized by access and information like never before. In the old days, I was part of the Southern California (405) Group Listserve (remember those?) where a bunch of geeks, who rarely met face to face, discussed the Internet and problem solved collaboratively. It was not unusual for an entire thread to go on for weeks including barbs, open insults, challenges, put downs, throw downs and a ton of really cool information.
These were developers, inventors, code writers, thinkers, hackers and pioneers. One day a guy looking a lot like a Hells Angel rode his bike into our offices on Main Street in Venice (CA). We'd been talking to him virtually for months, but had no idea who he was standing there. He announced he was from Digital Vegas. We could never figure out how he got that Harley up to the third floor. But, I digress. The point is, no one was paying much attention except the other guys doing the same things. There was no regulation since no one but the government and educators even knew Arpanet was there. And certainly no one was trying to sell us stuff.
The Internet is inherently irreverent and anarchistic and therefore resists any attempt to wrangle or rope it in. It's also a chance for people who would otherwise not meet to laugh and play and share trade secrets, whether the trade is Mommy-hood, bikers, hairdressers, dog lovers, cat lovers or just plain long-distance lovers.
The "C" or Connected generation, as Alex Tosolini, VP, Global e-Business at P&G, likes to call it, may or may not make way for today's C-Suite Chief Data Scientist. When the advertiser insinuates himself into the conversation with waving banner ads and interstitials, the mob moves elsewhere. Social activity , the largest activity on the Web today, is, and I repeat, NOT media! Branding before this phenom was OUTside activity, now it's INside. In effect, the herd will be heard whether marketers like it or not. It seems to have taken an entire decade and then some for marketers to realize this and having done so, loosen their grip. Like Double Click in the 1990's with display, Tremor and other video networks and AdMob with mobile, companies like AppsSavvy, represented here, would like to help marketers brand around social activities and do it at scale.
Ms. Clark rips up the stage in a blinged-out Coke T-shirt lauding the virtues of the hundreds of opportunities to join in and be a partner in "distributed creativity" on a "continuum of connections". Brands can no longer pay their way to greatness, she warned. Media isn't categorized by the outlet you plug it into anymore, its either paid, earned, owned or shared, she said. Coke has actually become the poster child for doing it right and the online world has chosen to anoint them with a following.
The key, of course, is not some play on words or metaphor for a marketing strategy. It is the living breathing fact that Coke has given up control in the traditional marketing sense and taken the lead from it's lovable fan base deferring to their voice, and not imposing on them Coke's decades old sales strategy. Because of this, nearly 24.5 million people like Coke's Facebook page, the largest page on the site. I guess when you serve 3 billion Coca Cola products worldwide every day, that doesn't seem like such a big number. Yet, giving the ax to business-as-usual at a company this big, Ms. Clark had a lot to do when, in 2008, she moved over from AT&T. Coke didn't start out with Digital DNA but, with Wendy Clark's help, they sure did get IT along the way.
In 2008, UniLever discovered 50 representatives of the social online ecosystem (AKA Greenpeace) dressed as orangutans staging a protest outside their London Headquarters to highlight the destruction of the Indonesian rainforest. The protest forged a relationship between the two organizations with Unilever agreeing to address many of Greenpeace's concerns. Unilever may not have started out life with Social Media DNA but they sure got religion fast.
Think Like a Start Up. Act Like a Hacker.
The Net grew and prospered largely because it was ignored.
It worked by different rules than the rules of business.
unless it was a market for new ideas.
Massive disruptive change is a marketers worst nightmare. Just as Geoffrey Moore, head of the Chasm Group and author of Crossing The Chasm about technology adoption lifecycle, points out, "the marketer should focus on one group of customers at a time, using each group as a base for marketing to the next group." The gap between them IS the chasm for disruptive or discontinuous innovations which force a significant change of behavior by the customer. In layman's terms, climbing on the shoulders of early adopters is where the smart money is.
FaceBook, like other successful marketing plans that came before it, envisioned a need and filled it. Like is important, but Share is more important. Adopting a start up strategy may not get you where it got Mark Zuckerberg, but it might get you out of the dark or worse, the Dark Ages. Build a virtual startup within your organization to imitate what it was like when everyone was bootstrapping and no one was watching. Teams of geniuses were liberated from the matrix and finding the next thing rather than protecting the old. The team not connected to the parent, innovates, iterates rapidly on its own and builds on user experience, skills, talent, not titles. Android, a Google offshoot, while in the search business, was simultaneouslyfree from the core and faithful to Google's devices. Today, it's the next BIG thing.

This recipe won the People's Choice award at Legazpi Sunday Market's Adobolympics 2011!
Mabuhay to this European inspired adobo! We paired this with a mushroom risotto, but this dish would also work well with plain rice or garlic rice!
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a glass jar and let sit for at least an hour.
Place lamb chops in zip lock bag with marinade and keep in refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour but no more than four hours.
Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil onto a hot pan over high heat and brown lamb for 3 minutes each side, make sure not to crowd the pan. After browning remove and let rest for 10 minutes.
Add the stew mix of chopped onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes until softened.
Add the remainder of the marinade mix to the pot and the additional bay leaves.
Stew for 2 hours at low heat stirring occasionally.
o make foie gras sauce, reduce balsamic vingegar to half in a pan and add a dash of honey.
Once lamb adobo is ready, pan fry foie gras on a smoking hot pan without oil for 40 seconds first side and 35 seconds other side.
To serve, place lamb adobo on plate and add chopped spring onion on top while placing the pan-seared foie gras on one side and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar reduction.

Art and Interior Design projects.
I am looking at meeting professional Interior Designers in order to expand my business. My artwork is highly decorative, using vibrant colours and textures, with occasional use of brushed steel tubes, perspex tubes or metallic inclusions. Most of my acrylic paintings are abstract and inspiring, some are serene and semi-figurative, inspired by water or plants. My Cuban Series was integrated in an Interior Design project for Wimbledon Tennis Season. My artwork may appeal to Hotels, Boutique Hotels and Hospitality spaces,Restaurants and Cafes Interior Designers. I am at present working on a Volcanic Series, using black canvases, the "Lustre Series" inspired by Oriental screens, and the Galactic Series. The Japanese Series is developping, with new use of medium:sand, gold leaf, gouache and lately watercolour.
Sandra holds regular private viewings on demand, take up commissions and sells from her studio.


More audio editors are giving the Reaper editing app a spin. There's a good reason, too. The digital audio workstation (DAW) has a lot of value: it blends an inexpensive price tag with powerful customization. All you need is a fairly modern computer and a basic audio interface and you can cut audio like a pro.
That customization comes with a cost, though. The app can be a bit intimidating to use at first. The app options are endless. Today's post is designed to help. It includes quick tips to get you up and running and cutting sound with Reaper quickly.
This article will guide you through creating a project, learning its layout, adding and editing audio, and exporting your finished work.
Let's get to know Reaper before we start working.
When you first launch Reaper you will be shown the "Choose Project(s)" window. It will the option to open an existing project, create a new one, or choose from past projects. Let's choose New project.
There's a lot going on in this window. We'll start with the basics, first. On the left is the list of tracks, known as the Track Control Panel (TCP). At center-right is the editing window. In the center, running horizontally is the transport panel, and beneath that is the mix panel. At the moment, things look pretty empty right. We'll change that soon.
Before we get rolling, we need to set up your audio device so you can receive and output audio. Select the Reaper>Preferences… menu item. In the following window select "Device" from the "Audio" section. Select your preferred audio device from the drop-down menu at the top, then click the "Apply" button.
Command + Click Mute or Solo: reset button.
Option + Click Mute: mute all other tracks (inverted mute).
Right-Click on Mute or Solo to see other options.
The red, round button to the upper left is the record arm/disarm button. You can name the track by double-clicking the dark grey area on the upper left of each track. The dial to the right of this changes the volume, which can also be done in the with the fader in the mix panel, below.
Let's add some audio. Reaper calls these "media items." There are a few ways to do this. The first option is to simply drag and drop sound clips into the editing window.
A longer but more comprehensive way is to add clips via Media Explorer. Open the media explorer by selecting the View>Media Explorer menu item or by typing Command + Option + X. This will display a new window at the bottom of the screen. From here you can browse through folders or find sounds by keyword search. Any clips you find can be previewed in the waveform display. When you find one you like, drag and drop clip sections or entire sounds from the Media Explorer into the editing window. You can also add them by double-clicking.
New audio can also be added by recording directly into a track. Simply click a track's record arm button. When you are ready to go, click the record button in the transport bar (command-r) and audio will be written to the track.
To hear what you've added, press the Spacebar. Play a selection repeatedly in a loop by pressing R, and then the spacebar. Pressing R again turns off loop playback.
Don't like the clips you've added? Simply select it and press the Delete key.
Once you've worked for a while, you'll find that your edit window is filling clips. How do move around the tracks and audio in the edit window?
Zoom in horizontally: =/+ key or scroll wheel down.
Zoom out horizontally: -/_ key or scroll wheel up.
Zoom to time selection: Command-Page Up.
Move the timeline left: Shift-Scroll Wheel Left or Shift-Scroll Wheel Up.
Move the timeline right: Shift-Scroll Wheel Right or Shift-Scroll Wheel Down.
Collapse track size: Page Down Key or Command-Scroll Wheel Up.
Expand track size: Page Up Key or Command-Scroll Wheel Down.
Now you have a few clips in the window. Let's try editing them.
As you'd expect, clicking and dragging a clip left and right moves it earlier or later in the timeline. Dragging it up and down moves it from one track to another.
To trim a clip, hover on its edge. The mouse icon will switch to a trimmer icon. Drag to shorten the clip. You can also trim a clip to a timeline selection. Simply select a span of time in the timeline, then choose the Item/Trim items to selected area.
Want to divide a clip in two? Place the cursor in the middle of a clip and press the S key. You can also split a span of audio. You can select a span of audio by dragging across the edit window, or across the timeline at the top of the edit window. Type Shift-S to cut the audio at the beginning and end of the span of the selected tracks.
Let's try adding fades. Hover the mouse pointer on the upper corner of the clip. The icon will change to a fade icon. Click, hold, and drag to create a fade. Adjust a fade by clicking and dragging on the fade slope. Remove the fade by dragging it all the way back to the edge. You can see different fade shapes by right-clicking on the fade, then clicking on one to apply it.
Crossfade two clips by dragging one clip over another (that is, provided that auto-crossfade is turned on (Option-X)). Another method: select a span across and edit, double-click the track, and press x.
Change crossfades using the same idea as regular fades: just hover the mouse, click, hold, and drag to change the fade shape. Hold Shift while dragging to move the crossfade left or right in place.
Like many other apps, Reaper lets you copy and paste. Just select a clip, type Command-C to copy it, Command-X to copy and remove it, and Command-V to paste it. Use Command-Shift-C to copy or Command-Shift-X to copy and remove or from a time selection instead.
Made a mistake? No problem. Similarly to other apps, Command-Z reverts the previous action and Command-Shift-Z restores it.
Finished editing your masterpiece? It's time to get it out of your project and share it with the world. Export your work by choosing the File/Render… menu item.
A new window will appear that allows you to choose the source, the time span, the output directory, name, destination rate and more. Once you're ready, click the "Render x file(s)…" at the bottom right and your track will save to the chosen directory on your hard drive.
It's not easy learning any audio editing app. It makes sense; cutting sound is a complex task. Every app has its standards and styles. It takes time to master them all. Use the steps in this post to get a good grip on editing with Reaper. Soon you'll be using Reaper's power to create impressive soundscapes.
Below is a recap of the keyboard shortcuts from this blog, as well as the names of the shortcuts if you wish to find and change them to your liking inside of the Reaper action manager window.


Land Reform was the major focus of policy and the foundation of the People's Republic of China. This policy won the party millions of supporters among the peasantry as 90% of the population were farmers. Property of landlords was expropriated by the government and redistributed to the lower class peasants so that each household would receive a comparable holding. Landowners that resisted giving up their land were executed… some owning no more than ¾ acre. Mao insisted that the peasants themselves become involved in the killings and therefore become permanently linked to the revolutionary process. Quotas were established and at least one landlord, but usually several were selected from every village for execution. The number of deaths are unknown but estimates range from 2-5 million. Mao defended these killings as necessary for securing power. Wealthy businessmen and political opponents were targeted and purged in order to rid urban areas of corruption. A climate of terror developed through anti-rightist campaigns as workers denounced their bosses, spouses turned on spouses and children informed on their parents. Minor offenders were humiliated at 'struggle sessions', sent to labour camps and those considered major offenders were executed. Many committed suicide. A second Land Reform occurred in 1958 when ownership was eliminated during The Great Leap Forward and peasants were only given usage rights to land. Land was confiscated and became the property of the state. Peasants were organized into teams and collectives becoming property-less members of 'peoples communes'.


Remember the tricky make-up in Bernhard Willhelm's Fall 2012 collection? The painted faces and comics inspiration? As the clothes are never enough, and fashion photography is not enough, fashion seems to be interested in some old school techniques as the collage or fashion illustration. This editorial in the June issue of Dazed was inspired by the works of fashion illustrator René Gruau. Gruau's influence on fashion imagery was overwhelming, but, to be fair, this kind of drawings look quite obsolete today. But not if you move them from the flat paper to the surface of the body, as they did for The Scanner Darkly editorial. The girls were literally transformed to look like rough drawings, with faces melting in the background.

Remember the Thern costume in John Carter movie?

Stitching Concrete is a project developed by designer Florian Schmid. The objects displayed above are able to mix the furniture design with the textile techniques, in order to obtain unusual effect. I mean, it's unusual to see concrete looking like textiles, or the outdoor furniture looking like a handmade garment. So, how did he do it?
These stools are made by folding fabric that's impregnated with cement then drenching it in water. It consists of cement layered between fabric and a PVC backing. Once soaked it can be manipulated for a few hours before hardening. A wooden mould supports it while drying within 24 hours. Before that the edges have been stitched together with brightly coloured thread.
The Project plays with a visual delusion that actually cloth can not give the strength to sit on.
I think it's quite uneasy to find a proper way to talk about fashion (professionally speaking). Many scholars tend to theorize fashion converting it in intellectual stuff. On the other hand, notorious fashionistas around the world prefer to display fashion rather than talking about it. As the world of fashion is neither too serious, nor completely superficial, how should we approach it?
Here's an old photo showing an emblematic couple of the Viennese Secession – Austrian artist Gustav Klimt and Emilie Louise Floge, his life companion. Please note the originality of their outfits. Klimt is worldwide known for his artworks; Emilie was an Austrian fashion designer and businesswoman, promoting a niche style in clothing of the time. Making dresses was part of the Secessionist logic of blurring the boundaries between art and craft through the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk, or 'universal artwork'. So, there's no wonder Klimt and Emilie have worked together on various fashion pieces.
Influenced by the feminist movement and the concept of the "rational dress", Emilie's particular dress styles looked quite out-of-their-time. At the turn of the 20th century in Vienna, a dress like this would be considered more experimental and marginal, comparing to the official fashions. That's why these kind of dresses remained unpopular. More recently, Rick Owens or Nicolas Andreas Taralis also tried their hand at reviving the concept, but the amazing fact is that these frocks are still avant-garde today. Even 100 years after.

Billings, MT – Senator Jon Tester included an amendment to FY 2016 Ag appropriations bill during consideration by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The included amendment addresses some concerns regarding importation of beef from Brazil and Argentina.
Update a key report to Congress, including identifying specific actions by federal agencies to prevent foot-and-mouth disease from being introduced to or disseminated within the U.S.
"R-CALF USA is thankful for Senator Tester's concern and dedication to protect the U.S. cattle industry. It is unconscionable to expose our U.S. cattle herd to an unnecessary and avoidable risk of introducing foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) from imports of fresh beef from Northern Argentina and 14 states in Brazil. These regions are not free of FMD and the live FMD virus is known to exist in and/or alongside these regions." said R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard.
Sec. 743. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to implement, administer, or enforce the rule entitled "Importation of Beef From a Region in Argentina" published by the Department of Agriculture in the Federal Register on July 2, 2015 (80 Fed. Reg. 37935 et seq.) or the rule entitled "Importation of Beef From a Region in Brazil" published by the Department of Agriculture in the Federal Register on July 2, 2015 (80 Fed. Reg. 37923 et seq.) until the Secretary of Agriculture—(1) conducts an updated comprehensive risk evaluation of importing beef produced in Argentina and Brazil; and (2) updates the Animal Disease Risk Assessment, Prevention, and Control Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-9) Final Report issued to Congress in January 2003 as it relates to economic impacts associated with the potential introduction of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), including specific actions by Federal agencies to prevent the introduction into or dissemination within the United States of FMD, and the sufficiency of legislative authority to prevent or control FMD in the United States; and (3) reports to Congress on specific steps to implement recommendations of the May 2015 GAO Report on Federal Veterinarians and workforce needs for emergency response to an animal disease outbreak.

When it announced on Jan. 15, Wells Fargo's fourth quarter 2015 net income came in at $5.7 billion, or $1.03 per share, compared with $5.7 billion, or $1.02 per share, for fourth quarter 2014.
"Wells Fargo and the United States government have reached an agreement in principle to resolve claims regarding our FHA lending activities, and the company has made an addition to its previously announced reserves to reflect this development. However, we can't provide any additional details at this time," said Catherine Pulley, a spokesperson for Wells Fargo.
The bank added in the SEC filing that although it reached an agreement in principle with the federal government to resolve these matters, there is no assurance that the two will agree on the final documentation of the settlement.


Venice is a must-visit destination for any travel lover.
The city is rich with history, culture, architecture, and crowds. The crowds pack the pathways, as Venice is the world's only pedestrian city.
The best way to escape the chaos is on water.
Whisk yourselves away through the canals and narrow waterways. Gondolas, water taxis, and private speedboats allow you to explore the 118 islands connected by over 400 bridges.
Panoramic views take you back hundreds of years. The major landmarks and understated buildings all radiate the character and romantic charm of Venice.

How does a OCD sufferer deal with parent loss?
By diomedes, December 15, 2019 in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Bulletin Board User
OCD Status: Sufferer
I would like to have your opinions and thoughts on how does an OCD sufferer deal with loss, and more specifically with a parent loss in young age.
I have never accepted my father's loss, I was 12 and I still thinking of him every single day.
Is it just tenacity, or an essential OCD symptom?
OCD Status: Ex-Sufferer
I don't know if it has anything to do with OCD. Perhaps a grief counsellor could help.

I'm so sorry for your loss and that it still affects you so much - I am certain you are not alone in feeling that way.
As Pb says maybe a grief counsellor would be a good place to start?
Location: Somewhere in the West
Speaking as someone who lost my Mum - whose five year anniversary is coming up next week - when I was 24, I think I can offer a unique take. I don't know how old you were when you were diagnosed but my Mum and I were very close and she was essential support with my OCD when I got diagnosed at 17. I miss having conversations with her, especially regarding the more intimate and 'girly' side of OCD triggers and links to sexuality and if you're a gentleman mourning your father, it's possible you might be missing that feeling of something similar; that man-to-man feeling. I recall the actor Martin Freeman - who lost his father when he was quite young, a similar age to yourself when you lost your dad - stating that when his dad first passed, he tried to act like the brave little chap and just 'be fine' with it, but as he got older, he found he really missed that sense of closeness and guidance; all he could have had with his father was lost. Maybe that's part of what forms your own grief, perhaps?
And grief never goes away fully; I still think of my Mum every single day and there are times when I wish I could talk to her about my OCD fears; I had a bad relapse back in 2016 not long after the first anniversary of her passing and it was tied to my sexuality and my fear of having 'bad thoughts' about certain people. Luckily, my Dad was able to provide advice and I know I can always talk to him, but it can be difficult to speak about something with a parent of the opposite sex, especially when it's related to intimacy and sexually-based fears; it's like 'really? Do we have to do this?' I think OCD prompts us to be more open; the need to be honest about what's on our minds, the thoughts we're having, the reassurance we seek, the confessions we make and we need to know we can trust the people we open up to. If we're lucky enough, our parents are the go-to people for that; I still feel my own grief and OCD are linked because I feel as though I desperately want my Mum's reassurance and help - even a hug would do. My OCD did bring me closer to my parents in that sense because I was telling them everything on my mind and seeking their help; even sleeping in bed with Mum sometimes because I was feeling kind of scared.
I get grief is different for everybody, but that's just my thinking. I hope you manage to sort this all out for yourself in time. Don't be too hard on yourself. Be kind to yourself. It's okay to feel sad.
OCD Status: Not Specified
We do it like anyone else. Perhaps obsess more?

Sorry to hear about the early loss of your father, I can appreciate that that would be difficult and impact you.
In my experience how each person deals with loss is different. I don't think there is one "OCD" specific way people deal with loss. Loss might trigger OCD or OCD might make dealing with loss more complicated, but the details on how it affects you and how you deal with it will be different than me for example.
I think PB's suggestion of working with a therapist to address any grief/unresolved feelings you have about it might be worth while.

Well I have been seeing a shrink since I was 22 but only in Greece, the last two years I live in London so I a see him only when I visit Athens,
To be honest I have kept my two best shrinks, one of CBT and a psychanalyst, the psychanalyst only gives importance to my loss

Canada is the second-largest country in the world, and shares the world's largest border with its neighbour, the United States. Due to Canada's vast size, there are many types of landscapes and ecosystems that span the nation, including mountains, coastal regions, forests, prairie grasslands and arctic tundra. Canada is known for its natural beauty and wildlife, so take the chance to explore it while you're here!
Welcome to Canada Canada's population is just over 35 million people – a small population compared to the size of the country. California state has a larger population than all of Canada! The majority of Canada's population lives in highly urbanized areas, with most people living in one of four areas: southern Ontario, Montréal region, Vancouver city and southern Vancouver Island, and the Calgary-Edmonton corridor. Ninety percent of Canada's population lives within 160km of the U.S. border, while northern Canada has a very low population due to its harsh climate.
In 2015, a Canadian man was arrested after tying more than 100 balloons to a lawn chair and flying over the city of Calgary.


"We should talk/discuss more about Govt. of India's Initiative / policies towards IoT and the standardization towards the same in terms of devices, platform etc…"
Of course Yes… IoT is the THEME now to discuss everywhere.
Growth areas would be Automotive, Industrial Manufacturing, Smart Appliances which will lead to smart cities. I think such forum like yours help them a lot.
As this forum is jointly by Govt. buddies, so Govt. initiatives along with benefits to be highlighted and we should discuss more about the feasibility & timeline of IoT implementation across sectors.

By the way, I only used four pigments to create the painting above, and the yellow was only used to mimic the sun: Daniel Smith's Hansa Yellow Medium (PY97) & Raw Umber (PBr7), and M. Graham's Anthraquinone Blue (PB60) & Transparent Red Oxide (TR101).
So is it gray or grey? Actually, both spellings are correct. Americans lean toward phonetic spellings, so we commonly use gray, but all other English speaking countries spell it with an e. Maybe because of England's beloved Earl Grey tea? But then, there's the American Greyhound breed... Just pick whichever one floats your gray/grey boat!
Before we jump into how to mix grays, I thought I'd begin with the easiest option... tube grays. However, there are a few drawbacks to tube grays. Some black or dark watercolors don't perform well when diluted into a gray, and nearly all tube grays are going to be some sort of convenience mixture which can be rather precarious unless you are well acquainted with what's inside.
Still, some tube darks can be fine options, so let's explore several of the most common grays straight from the tube.
Many artists reach for Payne's Gray, a common convenience mixture. Of course, many artists think Payne's Gray is of the devil. I won't debate that here. I don't think Payne's Gray is evil, but I will say that I no longer keep this color in my palette. However, it may work for you.
Daniel Smith's Payne's Gray (featured above) is a convenience mixture of PB29 (aka Ultramarine) and PBk9 (aka Ivory Black), and it dilutes easily into a lovely range of cool grays. M. Graham's Payne's Gray is also comprised of these two pigments.
Before you run out and buy, please know that "Payne's Gray" is not a standardized name and the color can vary highly between brands. For example, American Journey's Payne's Gray is a blend of PBk6 (aka Lamp Black) and PB27 (aka Prussian Blue). Some Payne's Grays actually contain three pigments like Winsor & Newton's (PB15/PBk6/PV19) and Grumbacher's (PB15:4/PB29/PBk6).
And this is exactly why I avoid this shade: It's just too unpredictable. But seriously though, it's your palette. I always encourage you to go with what works best for you.
To learn more about what these letters and numbers mean after each color, see my post here.
Another tube option for gray is to dilute black, and some single-pigment blacks work well when diluted. Ivory (PBk9) tends to be warm and semi-transparent; Lamp (PBk6) is more opaque and cool. But both of these blacks can be used to produce a range of grays and will be more dependable than muli-pigmented Payne's Gray.
Some painters will also include white in a palette which (of course) when combined with black will produce gray, albeit a rather flat and dull version. But still, it's an easy shortcut.
In all honesty, black and gray are so easy to produce that I don't allow black or white to take up valuable real estate in my palette. You can learn more about mixing black here.
If you are determined to go the tube gray route, Jane Blundell has a great page of swatches, but again, take care with these. I urge you to explore your tube colors in mixes, because when you understand your palette, you can always modify a tube color to make it uniquely you.
If you absolutely can't stand to mix, at least scroll down and read "What to Avoid..." Some of these tips are extremely helpful with tube grays also. Plus, you'll understand why your tube gray went puce green when it mixed with yellow or umber on your paper.
Oh my, this is the good stuff... the choices one has when mixing grays! Grays are known by a lot of names (shadow colors, neutrals, darks) and can work with a variety of undertones (red, green, blue) because if you take a good long look at shadows and reflections of objects, they aren't all gray, and they don't all look the same.
Grays in our world, like in shadows and skies and other smoky things, are actually an explosion of reflective colors that are mimicked best on paper when they aren't consistent. (In other words, not straight from a tube.) They are comprised of rosy, bluish, brownish hues mingled with purplish, greenish, yellowish tones all showcased into a perception of depth and deemed by us dull humans as "gray."
Even the simplest watercolor palette usually contains some form of red, blue, and yellow, and these three mix wonderfully well together into a variety of neutrals which the eye reads as "gray." And as you can see in the swatches below, the neutral or "shadow color" is easily modified by adjusting one of the three colors.
Are you thinking that these don't look gray? Me, too. However, I will highly encourage you to play with these mixes and use them as a "gray" to see how much more your paintings and sketches will glow and sing. Again, gray is never really just plain ole' gray.
I prefer to keep things simple, and I usually don't have time in the field to fiddle with three colors. The good news is that there's a wide range of two-color mixes that will easily result in gray. Below are plenty of examples to get you started.
Since unlimited grays can easily be created through mixing, why not give custom grays a go? It won't take much experimenting to discover one (or four) that you like. Just remember that watercolors don't show their true colors until dried, so it's important to test pigments and mixes until you know how to mix a gray spot on.

Highly granulating pigments. Many of these don't dilute or mix well, and unfortunately, you often won't realize it until after the paint has dried. I've had some nasty surprises with those glamorous pigments that are touted as being the perfect "shadow color." For example, Daniel Smith's Bloodstone Genuine (above) is gorgeous but extremely finicky, and it doesn't behave well in my beginner's hand. Again, it's well worth your time to play with your palette every chance you get so you'll know a paint's characteristics, wet or dry.
Yellow-based earths. Just like using green-based blues, yellow-based earths like Raw Sienna, Monte Amiata, and Yellow Ochre like to turn green instead of gray. With a bit of practice, these can be used to make a lovely gray (like in the raw sienna/cobalt/ultramarine mixes above), but why frustrate yourself? In two-color mixes, deep browns like Raw Umber or Transparent Brown Oxide are the easiest to manipulate.
Whether you go with a tube color or decide to DIY your own, ugly surprises are never fun, but they are part of the learning process. However, you can minimize bad things happening by testing out a color thoroughly before diving in. This isn't a chore, I promise— mixing can be pure joy! This post can help you get started, or see all of my posts on mixing here.
Again, I'm always learning, so I'd love to hear about your favorite grays/greys. Feel free to leave me a comment below.
P.S. Did you catch my error in the painting at the top of this post? Look carefully... the second tree from the right is sitting to the right of the sun, so its shadow should actually fall to the right of the tree, not to the left as I have painted it. I caught my error in time to paint the shadow of the far right tree correctly, but there's still that lovely little goof. I hope by sharing this I encourage you to also embrace mistakes. After all, that's how we learn!

These letters were written by John N. Sherman (1844-1927), the son of William Sherman (1818-1897) and Mary Elizabeth Smith (1825-1892) of Webbs Mills, Chemung county, New York.
John served in Battery F, 1st New York Volunteer Light Artillery, from 10 September 1861 to 20 June 1865 (3 years, 9 months, 10 days). In the final quarter of 1862, Battery F was stationed at Yorktown, Virginia, with four 3-inch Ordnance Rifles. Captain William R. Wilson's Battery was part of the IV Corps, Department of Virginia.
After the war John married Sarah Ayers and took up farming near Southport, Chemung county, New York.
I received yours yesterday and was glad to hear from you. I am not very well at present as I have got erysipelas so that I can't sleep nights and I have got no appetite. We went out foraging yesterday a horseback. I was on guard the day before. I went out with two others—Tip Wicks for one. We went to a house and got some milk and Johnny cake and a couple of biscuits and butter for which I paid ten cents. I have just sent out 5 cents to buy milk. I got about two-thirds of a pint of milk. It's 15 cents a quart. That was the last cent I have got, How I wish I had 15 or 20 pounds of your good sweet butter to eat on bread. I could relish it so well. Butter is 50 cents a pound here and soft streaked and strong at that. I think of sending for a box after I get my pay and send it home as most of the boys is sending home for any. I do not know when I'll get my pay. I do not think I shall till I am mustered. The others have been mustered and they expect it every day now but they may not be paid off till they are mustered again. That will be before long. I shall get 8 months pay, I think, when I get paid. That will be a hundred and $104 dollars. I shall keep 4 dollars and send home the rest. Then I want you to send me a grand box when I send for one. I will put down what things I want in a letter.
When you write again, tell me whether you are like to be drafted or not. I think Marsh's boys have showed their smartness. I suppose they thought they would get clear of volunteering and draft but they have run afoul of a snag. But I hope will not see as hard times as I have seen but I do not know anything about it. How they will get used, it will [be] according to the officer, I suppose. They have gone in the infantry. I pity them if they have. I count that the worst branch of the service. I would not be an infantry man for a good deal. I am sure they would rather go in some other branch of the service such as artillery or cavalry. When you write again, tell me what branch of the service and what company and the letter of the company and the no. of the regiment. I know they had rather a good deal be in artillery or cavalry.
You wrote about Colts. I want to know whether you bought them for me or for yourself. If you have them for yourself, I would like to have that colt of Vaughns. I would like to have it anyway for I think that is going to make something extra and that is what I want. Never mind if you have bought those other colts. I will send some money to pay for all of them and more too when I get paid. I if have got fodder for them and I think Vaughn will take less than what he asks now, you will perhaps think strange but I want that colt. If you send me a good horse after I send home the money, there will [be] no need of my spending.
I do not know but it would be well enough to note down a few things that i want in the box. First I want what butter you can spare if it is 20 pounds and send it in a can or a crock. Second, I want ten pounds of the best patent hive honey in a tin can or in a box as it sits on the section. If you get it in a box, get a full one so it will not have a chance to jamb. I mean as it is in the box ___ and all, and if in can stra___. Third, 5 pound of bologna sausage. Fourth, one good sturd cake. Fifth, a few sugar cakes. I guess you can get a box of honey of Snider. I think he would let you have it for me. Sixth, a few pounds of dried beef. Seventh, what good apples you can spare. Eighth, a little jelly. I will not mention anything more at present. I will send the rest in my next.
Give my love to all enquiring friends.
While as on my bed I lay thinking of home and friends, thinking of friends so far away [and] wishing war was at an end.
I thought I would write a few lines to you. I am well with the exception of erysipelas. I have got that pretty bad so that I cannot sleep most nights till about 12 o'clock. I do not know as I can give you any encouragement about my pay. I have seen the Captain about my Descriptive List. He says I do not want any. I think I shall have to be mustered before I can get my pay. I do not get paid till I am mustered. I shall get 8 months pay. That will be one hundred and 4 $104. I intend to send you all of it but four dollars.
I have good times here—good soft bread, warm from the oven, potatoes, meat, molasses, beans, rice. I can get all the oysters I want for 20 cents a quart. Butter is 40 and 50 cents a pound.
The captain is better than he used to be since he went home. He seems to have some interest in the boys. Says he heard something to wake him up.
When I get paid, I am going to send home the most of my money and I am going to send home after a box as most of the boys sent for boxes and got them.
I shall want some shirts, some butter, paper and envelopes, stamps, some honey, some stockings, some pocket handkerchiefs, a good fish line, and a lot of hooks.
As I have been waiting patiently for an answer from 4 letters that I sent you and have not received any answer, I thought I would write again to you. I don't know the reason of your not writing. I am afraid something has happened. I am afraid mother is dead or father is drafted. If such is the case, I do not want you to keep it away from me but let it out. The letters may have been detained by mail. I have looked for an answer every day but no answer comes. I have not got a letter since I got my box and before.
I feel some better that I did some weeks ago. A week ago I [had] no appetite for anything and I felt pretty bad.
We have got a new Lieutenant in charge of our battery as the Captain is unable to take charge of the battery. There is nothing going on much here—only mounting guns and mortars. There is 3 or 4 of our company on fatigue every day—Sunday's excepted. That is to mount guns and build tent for the Colonel and other officers of here in the fort. We have not got our pay yet but expect it every day.
I have nothing too much to write. I wish you would send me some stamps. I have a great appetite for potatoes yet. I could eat a half peck in two meals. I can eat potatoes 3 times a day for every day. Let me know all the news to home. We do not hear much news here. I wish you would send me a paper once a week for I have nothing to read—only a testament and I do not want to read that all the time.
If you had said Harvey Smith instead of Harry Smith, [I] should knowed who you meant.
November 25—I received your letter on the twenty-third as I had a letter wrote ready to send off the next day. I intended to answer it immediately but I have had the fever and ague for two days now—the worst kind. Yesterday I had shakes for 3 hours hard as I could shake and I had to harness up and go and drill an hour or two. I went to the doctor this morning and took 10 grams of quinine [and] 5 grams of cayenne pepper. Then at noon I tool another dose of the same. At 4 o'clock another dose. I feel pretty bad today. My lungs and sides hurt me so. I can hardy breathe.
My appetite is some better than it was but most everything that I eat at noon and night lays on my stomach all night and burns like a coal of fire. If I only had some potatoes, it would just suit my appetite. That is most [what] my appetite craves. But I trust I shall get my discharge. I am going to try for it when I get my pay. I trust that kind Providence will intercede. If it is His will that I should get it, I shall get it. I feel to say, "Lord not my will, but thine be done." I must now bid you farewell.

Philip Morris International (PMI) és la companyia de tabac més gran del món, integrada al Grup Altria i formada per dues empreses específiques per a les seves operacions als  Stamford, Estats Units i la la resta del món. Cotitzada a la Bolsa de Valors de Nova York (NYSE: PM).

En 1847, Philip Morris va obrir una botiga de tabac a Londres. A la seva mort, la seva dona i el seu germà es van fer càrrec del negoci, convertint-ho en una societat anònima en 1881 que després de diversos canvis passaria a denominar-se Philip Morris & Co Ltd el 1885.
El producte més reconegut i més venut de la companyia és Marlboro.

Controvèrsies
El març del 2010, Philip Morris va demandar Uruguai, per la Llei de Salut que limita al país el consum del tabac, majoritàriament comerciat per aquesta marca.
El 8 juillet 2016, al Cas Philip Morris contra l'Uruguai el Centre Internacional d'Arranjament de Diferències Relatives a Inversions dictamina que Uruguai va guanyar el juicio generant així jurisprudencia internacional.

I made an insane last minute decision the other week to host a yard sale. And then went completely crazy emptying every room in my house of unwanted or rarely used belongings.
I talk more about that process in another post but this one is about the actual sale. I ended up doing two sales as one ended up being on such a cold day that almost nobody was outside and I barely made $20 after 4 hours.
The second attempt had decent weather and more traffic but after an hour I simply got bored. Plus I would rather do something else on my weekends. The kids were all over the place so I decided to throw in the towel. But what to do with all of the stuff I'd dragged out of my house? I sure as heck didn't want it back in!
I put the few valuable items I wanted to try posting on Kijiji inside. Then I put out a jar that said "pay here" and walked away.
As it turns out my sale was more of a success by walking away. Some people definitely outright stole things, but most paid "something" and many were even quite fair.
The problem I have with yard sales is that so many people who come want to nickel and dime you for quality items but the next moment they will walk into a dollar store and will pay for absolute crap without a moment of hesitation.
The unmonitored sale allowed people to shop without being watched and to pay what their conscience felt was fair. Thieves stole. The cheapskates and those who want to rip you off gave nickels for quality goods. And those who don't believe in giving less than sticker price gave whatever my tag suggested.
In the end, I didn't want any of this stuff in my house anymore so it didn't bother me to have some of it stolen. I was actually quite elated and even surprised each time I checked the jar to find a few more dollars.  Plus I didn't waste a day being frustrated by insulting offers when I could be with my kids.

Great cabin and extra lakefront lot on Swan Lake to get your foothold on some awesome waterfront. Set along 223.6 ft frontage it already has a large deck built right at water's edge and dock on gravel frontage. Pretty views from the deck down Swan Lake. Home is laid out for lots of family and guests with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. In summer there are plenty of places to enjoy lake living with a main floor deck, lower patio and covered gazebo. In winter warm up by the stone fireplace in the living room. The large mostly finished lower level is a versatile space (just needs floor covering). Double garage size (with single garage door) can be home to all your lake toys. All sits on wooded 1.1 acres with nice privacy.

Kloster Arnsburg ist einer von neun Stadtteilen der Stadt Lich im Landkreis Gießen in Hessen.

Geschichte
Den Namen Arnsburg trug ursprünglich eine Burganlage südwestlich der heutigen Klosteranlage. Deren erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolge im Jahr 1093 im "Mainzer Urkundenbuch 1, Nr. 386" als Arnesburc. In den Jahren 1174–1197 wurden dann Klosterbauten innerhalb der Burganlage errichtet. Sie bildete einen trapezförmigen Komplex mit Kirchenbau, Vorhalle und Keller. 1197 wurden dann Klostergebäude an der Stelle des heutigen Zisterzienserklosters im Tal der Wetter errichtet. Eine erste Siedlung in der Nähe des Klosters wurde 1174 aufgegeben und die Bauern umgesiedelt.

Der heutige Ort entwickelte sich aus der Zisterzienserabtei Arnsburg.

Der ehemalige Klosterbezirk am rechten Ufer der Wetter wurde teilweise als Schloss der Grafen von Solms-Laubach genutzt. In den Jahren 1804–1811 war in Teilen der Anlage ein Gemeinschaftliches Zucht-, Arbeits- und Irrenhaus untergebracht. 1847 beherbergte sie ein "Rettungshaus" für verwahrloste Mädchen.

Bis 1787 gehörte der Klosterbezirk zum Kurfürstentum Mainz, Unteres Erzstift, Oberamt Höchst und Königstein, Amt und Kellerei Vilbel und Rockenberg, Gebiet der Abtei Arnsburg und ab 1806 zum Großherzogtum Hessen.

Am 1. April 1953 wurde aus dem Kloster und aus Teilen der Gemeinde Muschenheim eine selbständige Gemeinde gebildet.

Im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Hessen wurde die Gemeinde Arnsburg am 1. Januar 1977 als Stadtteil in die Stadt Lich eingegliedert. Für Kloster Arnsburg wurde wie für alle Stadtteile ein Ortsbezirk mit Ortsbeirat und Ortsvorsteher eingerichtet.

Einwohnerentwicklung
 1961: 112 evangelische, 4 römisch-katholische Einwohner

found text in flowers reads: "she smiled...and I kept...love"
I have been receiving notes of kindness and gratitude in response to what I'm doing here. They are trickling in from friends and family, and some from perfect strangers.
It is evidence of the ripples! I am so touched to know that my words and art inspire.
"We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same."
We are meant to find a way to live our most joyful lives, despite all obstacles. It takes courage to create, be it art or a meaningful life. Stepping into our courage and sharing our truth inspires others to be brave with their creations.
We must learn to share our gifts and to receive gifts in return. Your words of appreciation and encouragement are gifts to me. They light my path. What other hidden treasures do you have inside that are ready to bloom?
Let your light shine. Let your blossoms open to the sun. It is your gift to the world.
I love this...how do I put in an order for one? Maybe we can work out another trade...if I ever get back in the studio I have a couple of pieced with your name one them!
Thanks hun! I'm really loving the folksy flowers lately. They remind me of Poland and my grandma. I've got some ideas in the works for similar designs or you can have a print.
Hmm I dunno....my muse is a little confused lately so I'm trying to avoid artistic decisions of any sort! I'll let you know when clarity strikes!

Q: Reference request: the geometry of vanishing cycle I'm currently studying basics on étale cohomology, by Fu's and Milne's book. The formalization of vanishing cycle and nearby cycle particularly interests me. I realized it may relate with reduction and model problems (for example, Oda's  A Note on Ramification of the Galois Representation on the Fundamental Group of an Algebraic Curve.)(However, I'm also a beginner on these problems.) I want to learn more about nearby cycles and vanishing cycles, but the classical reference SGA7 is not available as reading French is quite difficult for me (especially reading something new). I have learned the elementary definition and motivation. So are there any textbook, online notes or videos on this topic, with enough detail?

A: Beyond the definitions in section 9.2 of Lei Fu's book, you also find a finiteness result for $R^q\psi\mathcal{F}$ for a finite type $S$-scheme and constructible $\mathcal{F}$ (9.4.1). Nearby cycles, as well as their finiteness feature in the proof of finiteness for $R^q f_{\ast}\mathcal{F}$, where $f$ is a morphism of finite type $S$-schemes and $\mathcal{F}$ is torsion constructible, in (9.5.1).
I guess you are aware of this. Then, I would say that this is enough for the algebraic formalism. It is better to see them in action.
Since you presumably want to avoid French, and mention models and reduction, you may want to have a look at this paper by Takeshi Saito : Vanishing Cycles and Geometry of Curves Over a Discrete Valuation Ring. There, he proves that a local analogue of the stable reduction theorem (of Grothendieck, Deligne-Mumford): for $X/S$ a normal relative curve with an isolated singularity at a closed point $x$ of the special fiber and $Y$ a regular minimal model of $X$ (defined in the paper), the special fiber of $Y$ is a normal crossing divisor of $Y$ if and only if the action of inertia on the stalk $R\psi^1(\mathbb{Q}_{\ell})_x$ is unipotent.
As you can imagine, nearby cycles feature prominently in the proof.

A: Luc Illusie has written two great expository texts on étale vanishing cycles and other topics in SGA7, one in English (with an associated set of slides) and one in French (unfortunately).
Illusie has also written two interesting articles about more advanced topics on étale vanishing cycles, which may still be valuable to you if you want to understand some recent developments: one on the Thom-Sebastiani theorem and one on vanishing cycles over higher-dimensional bases

<Back to Thumbnails "Tiny Totem # 2: Reverse Ravens"
This is the second in my ongoing "Tiny Totem" series. These pieces are small, reductive versions of my larger "Totem" series, intended to explore similar concepts distilled into the barest essentials. Modern reinterpretations of the Native American Totem Poles of the Pacific Northwest, these pieces offer impossible arrangements of common animals and birds. Isolated from their natural environments and portrayed in a whimsical, tension-filled, and surreal context, the viewer is challenged to reconsider the subjects in a new light. Native Americans traditionally used animals as potent symbols for their own human talents, frailties, fears, and desires, and despite the distance we have placed between ourselves and the natural world today, animals still play just as significant a role in our daily lives, from logos to add campaigns. These pieces ask the viewer to explore what wildlife means in today's world, to consider the fragile balance we strike in our own lives between man and beast, and to ponder the plight of a natural world teetering on collapse.
Ravens are particularly potent symbols, not just in Native American folklore, but throughout numerous cultures, often acting as messengers, omens, and diviners of fortune both good and bad. White ravens, however, are of particular spiritual significance, representing spiritual cleansing.

When you meet someone on adult dating sites you want to make sure you're compatible with them before taking things too far. Without compatibility there's a good chance the relationship will end and you'll have wasted time with the wrong person when you could have been looking for someone that's a better match for you. There are a couple of different things that you can look for to see if the person you're with is someone that you could have a future with.
If you want a relationship to be successful then you need to have something in common with the other person. If you don't then you'll get bored quickly because you won't have anything to talk about or do with each other. Do you spend a lot of time doing things that both of you enjoy or are you constantly trying to find something to do? If spending time with your partner is difficult because you know it's going to result in you arguing about what to do then you need to find someone else because you won't be happy. You want to be with someone that you can spend lots of time with and have fun enjoying hobbies together.
It's important that you can act like yourself around your partner and not have to try and be someone you're not. This is why it's important to be as real as possible when you use adult sites because no one wants to go out with someone and find out that they're completely different in person. If you feel like you need to hide something from them think about why that is. Would they dislike the real you? If so then you need to find someone who accepts you for who you are.
Being able to tell someone the truth and not being afraid of their reaction is a sign of compatibility because there's a trust and understanding there. If you're afraid to talk to them about certain things then it might be because you know that deep down they don't really love you and would leave you for someone else. Big issues and small issues affect every relationship and they need to be dealt with as smoothly as possible otherwise it will cause even worse problems down the line. When you need to talk to your partner be honest and see if they love you enough to be open-minded and respectful. If they are then it means that they really do care about your thoughts and feelings.
When you care about someone and you understand them then it's natural for you to want to work out any problems that come up. When dealing with a relationship problem see if the two of you come up with a solution that makes both of you happy. You don't want to end up in a one-sided relationship where only one person is happy. If you truly are compatible then it's likely that the two of you will feel the same way when dealing with an issue.
Dopamine is known as a love chemical and it gets released when people feel happy. When you have an attraction to someone this might release because you like being around them and this can lead to you not thinking rationally. Take a long hard look at your relationship before committing to them because you might be overlooking the fact that you're not compatible. A successful relationship is one where you and your partner get along and can see a future together.


Style Remix: Midnight Blue | Fashion. Style. Beauty. | Life is short. Live well.
It's Monday, which means I'm not inclined to think a lot about what I'm wearing. I'm the adult who grew up as the kid who had to lay their clothes out ahead of time or imminent disaster would inevitably strike that morning, meaning I'd leave the house looking like a mess.
This is a look that I love for transitioning into fall. The embellished sweatshirt is a great piece for casual or dressier occasions, and waxed denim looks so rock and roll it turns heads no matter what time of day it may be. The pop of pink at the wrist is my favorite part. Love to keep things interesting.
I feel like I'm embracing my inner rock star by always wearing something a little tough with something a little glamorous. That's always the best part of living well, I think: finding out who you are, and then just going for it.
