Selena Gomez Shares Never-Before-Seen Pics of Her 2019 -- Including Cuddling With Taylor Swift's Cats
Paige Gawley
Entertainment Tonight 2 January 2020
The singer dubbed 2019 'the year of being the third wheel.'
Selena Gomez is reliving some of her favorite 2019 moments.
In a series of posts to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, the 26-year-old shared pics and videos from her life over the last year.
For Gomez, 2019 was a year full of friendship; she spent time cuddling with Taylor Swift's cats, attending a Kacey Musgraves concert with a group of pals and going on a birthday excursion to the set of Shark Tank with one of her BFFs.
While friends were a theme of the year, romantic relationships were not. The singer even dubbed 2019 the "year of being the third wheel" -- which she "loved" -- thanks to all the weddings she attended and couples she hung out with.
She also made sure to keep up with her charity work, volunteering with the Make-A-Wish foundation and traveling to Kenya, the latter of which she said "changed my life."
It was a banner year for Gomez professionally as well, with the "Lose You to Love Me" singer sharing moments from recording her new album, shooting a music video and hitting chart-topping milestones.
Gomez ended the year on a snowy getaway, where she made sure to sign copies of her upcoming album, Rare, which is due out Jan. 10.
In a November interview with Elle, Gomez opened up about why she thinks it's important to reflect on each year as it ends.
"I think every time the holidays come up, there's some part of you where you kind of sit and reflect on the year," she said. "This year was really, really powerful for me. I can say that I'm so proud of how hard I worked."
"I always just think about what happened, and where I want to go in life, and hope for the best," she added of her typical holiday.

Peace Requires Anarchy
by PeaceRequiresAnarchy	Leave a comment
Jason Brennan: "Justice requires cooperative anarchy"
Jason Brennan recently published a short post on the Bleeding Heart Libertarians blog titled Statism as Accepting Moral Extortion.
The impetus to share the post here is Jason's statement that "Justice requires cooperative anarchy," which is similar to my chosen title of this blog, Peace Requires Anarchy, which in turn is inspired by Roderick Long's statement that "A consistent peace activist must be an anarchist."
Over nine years after first accepting anarchism I still embrace anarchism. I believe the argument Jason makes in the linked post for statism is an argument that in principle could succeed in justifying (or at least excusing, per Brennan) a state.
However, it seems to me that in the real world the consequences of the state not engaging in any pre-emptive coercive acts (roughly those violating rights that people hold according to libertarian theory) would not be sufficiently bad so as to justify/excuse the state. As I have quoted before, in the words of Mike Huemer, "We're nowhere close to the case where government would be justified."
In the spirit of trying to update and learn, I will reflect now to see if I can identify how my views on this topic may have shifted at all, or see if I can have any thoughts now that may cause my views to shift as I write this post.
During the first several years after I became an anarchist my views shifted further in the direction of the state not being justified in the real world. For example, in 2016 I wrote:
"Stringham's book [Private Governance: Creating Order in Economic and Social Life] definitely increased my awareness and appreciation of the extent of private governance solutions that exist. This was not the first time that my beliefs about how well private actors could solve problems was changed in this direction. Rather, my views have shifted further in this direction a great deal over time as my views changed from default-statism to minarchist libertarianism to anarchist-libertarianism (and then even kept shifting further from legal centrism even after I became an anarchist). While my views on this hadn't changed much lately, this book definitely shifted my beliefs further."
(For a summary of my intellectual journey to libertarian anarchism, see my 2014 post What is Humerian Anarchist Libertarianism?)
Since 2016, I haven't thought much more about the question. In my spare time, I tend to think about topics related to effective altruism, long-termism, and existential risk.
We appear to live in a world in which we have the ability to do an unusually large amount of good. There are mountains of tractable problems in the world and we do not have enough resources to solve everything. As such, we are in triage every second of every day.
GiveWell's most recently published median estimate (2019) is that a mere $2,300 given to Against Malaria Foundation can avert a death in expectation. That's cheap.
The suffering of animals can arguably be alleviated for even less. E.g. See Corporate campaigns affect 9 to 120 years of chicken life per dollar spent.
And perhaps we can do even more good by working to ensure beneficial long-term outcomes by helping put civilization on a safer course. I am excited for Toby Ord's new book coming out next month The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity, which I am hopeful will be useful to helping a wider group of people appreciate the shear scale of the future and our incredible position of power and influence today to make a profound difference.
Over the last few years my views have shifted toward more robustly believing that our current era is one where what we do as a civilization matters very significantly. I have on many occasions in recent years been able to appreciate the great importance of the experiences of single individuals. Then I often think about the vast number of sentient beings alive today that could be living much better lives. And when I think of the future, I struggle to wrap my head around the seemingly unimaginably large number of future generations that can potentially exist if we navigate the next few centuries well.
All this is to say that if one were looking for something new in my worldview today that could be used to overcome the presumption at the foundation of my anarchist libertarian views that I intuitively have against using physical coercion, it is probably that consequences of actions matter a lot.
Long before I heard of effective altruism or libertarian anarchism I thought about the future and wanted it to be great. However, I have never had as much confidence that it matters so much that we get things right. As a kid it never really even occurred to me that animals may be experiencing an insane amount of terrible suffering on farms and in nature. And I also hadn't properly done the math to try to imagine the astronomical scale of our cosmic endowment (Timelapse of the Future, Existential Risk Prevention as Global Priority).
That said, even though I think the consequentialist stakes of actions are higher than I used to think, I have yet to come across a proposal of state aggression that I feel comfortable endorsing on the grounds that the consequentialist outcome is sufficiently better than what could be achieved without committing the rights-violation. The reality is that I do possess a lot of uncertainty about what exact course of action is optimal. There are basic questions in population ethics that I am not certain about that other thoughtful caring people disagree with me on. Very smart members of the effective altruism community who I respect disagree with each other on which organizations in which cause areas will make the best use of marginal dollars. And I am uncertain as well. Even just today I made the choice to allocate $200 to an organization I have not previously chosen to donate to.
In light of all this, it is difficult to see how I could think a particular use of state-scale pre-emptive coercion in the real world is justified or excusable. Reasonable people can reasonably disagree. I admit that I have become more humble than I once was at times when it seems to me that I am right and others are wrong. It seems I am right, but I know somehow that I may not be and I cannot hold my view with complete confidence. As such, that presumption against coercion is rarely overridden in practice.

Something I learned at Voice & Exit 2015
Originally published on WilliamKiely.com.
How to Develop a Trait that is Essential for Human Flourishing
I attended Voice & Exit in Austin, TX this weekend. I learned a lot, but here I'll share just one idea that's now in my head as a result of attending the conference.
Brian Robertson spoke about Holacracy, a system for creating a self-management structure for one's business or other organization. As he described ways in which businesses with Holacracy structures differ from businesses with more traditional hierarchical management structures, I began thinking about how a certain trait that appeared to be essential for a person working in an autonomous role in such a holacratic business might be the same as or similar to an important trait that I believe traditional public schools fail to develop in students.
What is this trait?
In his wonderful book Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life, psychologist Peter Gray lists "seven sins of our system of forced education." The second sin he lists is "Interference with the development of personal responsibility and self-direction." Personal responsibility and self-direction, or how to handle autonomy and not feel the need to look to an authority figure such as a teacher, parent or manager to make a decision for oneself, is the trait. Gray writes:
Sin 2: Interference with the development of personal responsibility and self-direction. When Civil War hero David Glascow Farragut was nine years old, he was appointed midshipman in the US Navy. At age twelve, in the War of 1812, he temporarily led a navy team that included adults two to four times his age, when he was appointed commander of a ship captured from the British. The great inventor Thomas Edison left school three months after starting it, at age eight, having been judged by his teacher to be unfit for it because of his "addled brain" (a condition that would probably be diagnosed today as ADHD). He then began systematically educating himself. By age twelve he was making an adultsize income from several businesses he had started, and two years after that he was publishing, on his own, a successful newspaper.
Farragut and Edison were exceptional people, but the practice of children's assuming adult-like responsibilities was not exceptional in the early to mid-nineteenth century, before the era of state-enforced compulsory schooling. Today the typical twelve-year-old in a middle-class suburb is not trusted to babysit or even walk home from school unaccompanied by an adult. We have become a society that assumes that children are, merely because of their age, irresponsible and incompetent.
The belief that children and even teenagers are incapable of rational decision-making and self-direction is a self-fulfilling prophecy. By confining children to school and other adult-directed school-like settings, and by fulfilling their time with forced busywork, which serves no productive purpose, we deprive them of the time and opportunities they need to practice self-direction and responsibility. And so, children themselves, as well as their parents and teachers, come to think that children are incompetent. Over time, as forced schooling has been extended to include people of ever-older ages, the belief in incompetence has been extended upward.
An implicit and sometimes explicit message of our forced schooling system is this: "If you do what you are told to do in school, everything will work our well for you." Children who buy into that message stop taking responsibility for their own education. They assume, falsely, that someone else has figured out what they need to do and know to become successful adults. If their life doesn't work out well, they take the role of a victim: "My school (or parents or society) failed me, and that's why my life is screwed up." This attitude of victimization, set up in childhood, may then persist for a lifetime. As schooling has become an ever more dominant force in young people's lives, the sense of individual helplessness has increased in our society, as I discussed in Chapter 1. Mark Twain was fond of saying, "I've never let school interfere with my education." Unfortunately, today, because of the great expansion of forced schooling since Twain's time, it's becoming harder and harder for anyone to live by that maxim.
I asked Brian whether he thought that employees in the 300+ existing Holacratic businesses tended to be more responsible, adult-like, and able to handle autonomy in the first place, or whether they learn how to be like this over time by working in the autonomous roles of a Holacracy business.
Brian said that without a doubt people acquire this trait–learn how to be responsible, adult-like, handle autonomy, and own decisions they make–by working in a Holacratic business. That is, they develop this trait so they are better at it than before.
I then asked whether this personal responsibility that they develop only manifests itself in their success at their work for the Holacratic business, or whether it also shows in their life outside their work.
Again he confirmed my suspicion that taking on this kind of work teaches a person general responsibility, as opposed to a superficial responsibility that applies only to the specific job position in which they work. Brian told me that people tell him all the time that the increased sense of personal responsibility and ability to handle autonomy that they gained from working in the Holacracy business also gave rise to positive change in how they handle responsibility in their family and other aspects of their life.
Peter Gray offers a solution to the problem of schools interfering with the development of personal responsibility and self-direction. In fact, his wording of the problem makes the solution obvious: Don't interfere with the development of this important life trait! How can this be done? Give children the freedom to play, direct their own activities, make decisions for themselves, so that they can learn to hand the responsibility well, and not continue as they age into adulthood to feel the need to defer to a parent, manager, or other authority figure to make a decision that they ought to make and own themselves.
And as for teenagers and adults, let and encourage them to take on jobs or other roles with responsibilities of the kind all employees of Holacracy businesses must handle. Because, whether this is the only way to develop personal responsibility and self-direction or not, taking on more responsibility than you're used to handling is an effective way to develop this trait of personal responsibility and self-direction.
Having this trait is essential to being an entrepreneur, and flourishing as an adult in life in general. Since the tagline of Voice & Exit is to maximize human flourishing, it seemed obvious to me that this was the most important new idea in my head to share.
I intend to read Brian Robertson's book Holacracy: The New Management System for a Rapidly Changing World soon (before the end of September) to learn more about the Holacracy management structure and how it is different from traditional management structures (which I also poorly understand and want to learn more about).
I also intend to obtain a job in which I have a good deal of autonomy and responsibility and in which I can make decisions and own them, rather than merely make recommendations to a manager or senior employer in a hierarchical organization who would ultimately traditionally be the responsible decision-maker. I want a job with these characteristics for reasons of personal growth, so that I can get better at the trait discussed in this post that I feel I was cheated on developing when I made the mistaken assumption that all I had to do to be successful was do what teachers and professors in school and college laid out before me–steps to get good grades. Foolish me. I will not take the role of victim. Even if I wouldn't blame my past self for not realizing that the assumption was false, I do currently take responsibility for developing personal responsibility and self-direction in myself so that one day I can have the confidence to achieve my goals, whether as an entrepreneur or just a flourishing true adult.
(In addition to Peter Gray's book mentioned above, I recommend his Psychology Today blog Freedom to Learn.)

"The Most Dangerous Superstition" – Insightful, but poorly argued
Following is my Amazon Review of Larken Rose's book The Most Dangerous Superstition.
I believe that the two very controversial central claims of Larken Rose's book "The Most Dangerous Superstition" are correct:
(1) No government genuinely has the special moral authority that most people think governments have.
(2) The belief in government authority is incredibly dangerous and destructive.
Indeed, as Rose writes on the back cover, "The vast majority of theft, extortion, intimidation, harassment, assault, and even murder––the vast majority of man's inhumanity to man––comes [from the belief in government authority]. If humankind could give up this one false idea, even without otherwise acquiring another scrap of wisdom or compassion, the vast majority of injustice and oppression would instantly cease."
Further, I agree with Larken Rose's statement that the belief in government authority is "the most important issue in the world."
So why am I rating this book only 3 stars?
Briefly, because I believe Rose's arguments defending his two main claims are rather weak.
To give one example, Rose begs the question when he writes: "There is no ritual or document through which any group of people can delegate to someone else a right which no one in the group possesses. And that self-evident truth, all by itself, demolishes any possibility of legitimate 'government'" (p. 35).
For a much stronger defense of the anarchist libertarian view that no government has political authority, see the first half of Professor Michael Huemer's outstanding book "The Problem of Political Authority: An Examination of the Right to Coerce and the Duty to Obey."
Rose also does a poor job making a case for the position that the belief in government authority is the most dangerous superstition. While he succeeds in showing that it is dangerous and can make basically good people do wicked things, he does not include an economic analysis showing the magnitude of the impact. Certainly this economic discussion would be needed to adequately defend the thesis that the belief in political authority is the *most* dangerous superstition in the world today.
Lastly, I would like to say that I greatly appreciated the valuable insights into the nature of the belief in political authority in Larken Rose's book. The insights in his book go beyond those presented in his popular YouTube animations. He expertly illustrates the many senses in which people believe that governments have a special right to rule and the many senses in which people believe subjects have an obligation to obey. (In fact, Rose's book may be more aptly titled "The Nature of the Belief in Government Authority.") Most of these insights are not to be found in Michael Huemer's book. For this reason, I recommend "The Most Dangerous Superstition."

The Enormous Effects of the Widespread Belief in Government Authority

The back cover of Larken Rose's book The Most Dangerous Superstition reads:
Most people, looking at our troubled world with its long history of injustice and human suffering, will attribute social evils to the greed, ignorance, hatred, or lack of compassion of others. Rarely does anyone consider the possibility that his own attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs may be the root cause of most of the world's suffering.
But in almost every case, they are.
The vast majority of theft, extortion, intimidation, harassment, assault, and even murder–the vast majority of man's inhumanity to man–comes not from the greed, hatred, and intolerance that lurks in our hearts, but from one pernicious and almost universal assumption, one unquestioned belief, one irrational, self-contradictory superstition that infects all races, all religions, all nationalities, ages, and income levels.
If humankind could give up this one false idea, even without otherwise acquiring another scrap of wisdom or compassion, the vast majority of injustice and oppression would instantly cease. But this cannot happen until people are ready and willing to turn their judgmental eyes upon themselves–to objectively examine their own belief systems, to recognize and understand, and finally to abandon, the most dangerous superstition.
This may sound like hyperbole, but it's not–I think he's right about the absolutely enormous magnitude of the negative effects of this widespread superstition. (And no, the positive effects are nowhere near as great.) The superstition Rose is talking about is of course the belief in political authority.
In the words of Professor Michael Huemer:
Political authority (hereafter, just 'authority') is the hypothesized moral property in virtue of which governments may coerce people in certain ways not permitted to anyone else, and in virtue of which citizens must obey governments in situations in which they would not be obligated to obey anyone else. Authority, then, has two aspects:
(i) Political legitimacy: the right, on the part of a government, to make certain sorts of laws and enforce them by coercion against the members of its society–in short, the right to rule.
(ii) Political obligation: the obligation on the part of citizens to obey their government, even in circumstances in which one would not be obligated to obey similar commands issued by a non-governmental agent.
If a government has 'authority', then both (i) and (ii) exist: the government has the right to rule, and the citizens have the obligation to obey.
In his book The Problem of Political Authority, Huemer argues that political authority is an illusion. No government, nor anyone else, actually possesses the special moral status that most people believe governments have.
While Rose also argues that nobody has political authority, he only devotes a portion of a single chapter ("Disproving the Myth") to this task and the arguments he makes are quite weak. For example, in the section "Who Gave Them the Right?" Rose writes:
There are several ways to demonstrate that the mythology the public is taught about "government" is self-contradictory and irrational. One of the simplest ways is to ask the question: How does someone acquire the right to rule another? The old superstitions asserted that certain people were specifically ordained by a god, or a group of gods, to rule over others. Various legends tell of supernatural events (the Lady of the Lake, the Sword in the Stone, etc.) that determined who would have the right to rule over others. Thankfully, humanity has, for the most part, outgrown those silly superstitions. Unfortunately, they have replaced by new superstitions that are even less rational.
At least the old myths attributed to some mysterious "higher power" the task of appointing certain individuals as rulers over others – something a deity could at least theoretically do. The new justifications for "authority," however, claim to accomplish the same amazing feat, but without supernatural assistance. In short, despite all of the complex rituals and convoluted rationalizations, all modern belief in "government" rests on the notion that mere mortals can, through certain political procedures, bestow upon some people various rights which none of the people possessed to begin with. The inherent lunacy of such a notion should be obvious. There is no ritual or document through which any group of people can delegate to someone else a right which no one in the group possesses. And that self-evident truth, all by itself, demolishes any possibility of legitimate "government."
In reality, what Rose says above is true only given a certain individualistic conception of rights, such as Lockean property rights. Those who have not already been convinced that moral rights should work this way would be correct to point out that this is a weak argument.
Huemer's arguments against political authority do not rest on controversial assumptions such as this, and I invite anyone who is not convinced by Rose's rhetoric to consult Huemer's The Problem of Political Authority. (Note: Prof. Bryan Caplan has said the same.)
Despite Rose's arguments against political authority being less rigorous than Huemer's, The Most Dangerous Superstition definitely has its strengths. A majority of the book is dedicated to describing the effects that the belief in authority has on peoples' actions. Politicians, law enforcers, their targets, spectators, and advocates of government all behave significantly differently as a result of their belief in political authority.
For example, consider one effect of the belief in authority on police officers:
It is very telling that many modern "law enforcers" quickly become angry, even violent, when an average citizen simply speaks to the "officer" as an equal, instead of assuming the tone and demeanor of a subjugated underling. Again, this reaction is precisely the same – and has the same cause – as the reaction a slave master would have to an "uppity" slave speaking to him as an equal. There are plenty of examples, depicted in numerous police abuse videos on the internet, of supposed representatives of "authority" going into a rage and resorting to open violence, simply because someone they approached spoke to them as one adult would speak to another instead of speaking as a subject would speak to a master. The state mercenaries refer to this lack of groveling as someone having an "attitude." In their eyes, someone treating them as mere mortals, as if they are on the same level as everyone else, amounts to showing disrespect for their alleged "authority."
Similarly, anyone who does not consent to be detained, questioned, or searched by "officers of the law" is automatically perceived, by the mercenaries of the state, as some sort of troublemaker who has something to hide. Again, the real reason such lack of "cooperation" annoys authoritarian enforcers is because it amounts to people treating them as mere humans instead of treating them as superior beings, which is what they imagine themselves to be. To wit, if someone was confronted by a stranger (without a badge) who started interrogating the person in an obviously accusatory way and then asked to be allowed to search the person's pockets, his car, and his home, not only would the person being accosted almost certainly refuse, out he also would probably be outraged at the request. "Of course you can't rummage through my stuff! Who do you think you are?" But when strangers with badges make such requests, they are the ones offended when the targets of their intrusive, unjustified harassments, accusations and searches object, and refuse to "cooperate." Even when the "officers" know full well that the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution specifically dictate that a person has no "Legal" duty to answer questions or consent to searches, such "lack of cooperation" – i.e., the failure to unquestioningly bow to the enforcer's every whim and request – is still seen by the "police" as a sign that the person must be some sort of criminal and enemy of the state. From the perspective of "law enforcers," only a despicable lowlife would ever treat representatives of "authority" in the same manner as he treats everyone else. [pp. 64-5 (PDF pp. 60-1)]
Now consider the effect of the belief in authority on spectators observing conflicts between police and others:
The double standard in the minds of those who have been indoctrinated into authoritarianism, when it comes to the use of physical force, is enormous. When, for example, a "law enforcer" is caught on film brutally assaulting an unarmed, innocent person, the talk is usually about whether the officer should be reprimanded, or maybe even lose his job. If, on the other hand, some citizen assaults a "police officer," nearly everyone will enthusiastically demand – often without even wondering or asking why the person did it – that the person be caged for many years. And if a person resorts to the use of deadly force against a supposed agent of "authority," hardly anyone even bothers to ask why he did it. In their minds, no matter what the agent of "authority" did, it is never okay to kill a representative of the god called "government." To the believers in "authority," nothing is worse than a "cop-killer" regardless of why he did it. [pp. 103-4 (PDF p. 97)]
Given Larken Rose's understanding of the two points above about how the belief in government authority influences peoples actions, I am sure that he would not be surprised by the recent case of Kelly Thomas, which I learned of last night. Police were caught on film brutally murdering Kelly Thomas in July 2011. The jury saw the video and, on Monday, amazingly declared the police not guilty. As Scott Wilson writes:
Kelly Thomas was a homeless, mentally ill man who was murdered by Fullerton, CA police officers Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli. The police told him before they beat him to death that they were about to beat him. That is a fact that was part of the evidence, not a suppostion or hearsay — and was on video. The victim never resisted, unless you count trying to stop them from killing you by trying to get away "resisting."
In this video, http://youtu.be/e6yaeD-E_MY?t=15m21s, at 15:21, killer cop Manuel Ramos says "see my fist, they're getting ready to fuck you up," and within 30 seconds they begin to beat him to death. As they were beating the life out of him, he was calling for his daddy saying "they are killing me."
The cops outweighed the man by 60+ pounds, and there were first two of them and eventually six of them wailing on him, tasing him, literally physically suffocating him.
Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli were merely charged with "striking Kelly Thomas with a baton and a stun gun in a beating that left him comatose." Got it? Not charged with murder, or even manslaughter, even though they absolutely killed him — an uncontested fact. He died five days later from injuries they gave him, on video, with audio.
Today they were found not guilty and walked as free "men." Clearly, if you are a cop, you can put on gloves to deliver a beating to someone who hasn't raised a hand to you, tell them you are going to "fuck them up," and then beat them into a bloody pulp, then tase them and beat them some more, and having it all caught on video AND audio, means that you are innocent.
The four other police officers who took part in what amounts to a gang slaying weren't even charged.
Ramos and Cicinelli are now free to rejoin the force, make fists, threaten beatings on camera, deliver the beatings that lead to the death of victims — and they know they can do it with impunity. So do all the other officers in that police department and region — and around the country.
Ramos' attorney, John Barnett, told reporters: "These peace officers were doing their jobs…they did what they were trained to do."
~Scott Wilson
The most powerful and important, uninfluenced witness testimony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYJi3lgXLBU ~Antonio Buehler
Both the police's attack and the jury's not guilty decision demonstrate the powerful influence of the belief in government authority.
It should be noted that observations about police only make up one part of the analysis of the effects of the belief in political authority. If people stopped believing in political authority, many other things would change as well.
For example, essentially everyone would come to view immigration restrictions as unjust and they would soon be abolished. The effects of this would be substantial. As economist Bryan Caplan points out, "Under free migration, labor would relocate to more productive regions, massively increasing total production. Standard cost-benefit analysis predicts that global GDP would roughly double."
This is just one other example of many. For more, see the first section, "Some Policy Implications," of Chapter 7, "What If There Is No Authority?" of The Problem of Political Authority.
Lastly, while my intention with this blog post was not to convince you to read either of the two books that I have mentioned, I do believe that they are both books that are definitely worth reading, regardless of whether or not you have already been convinced that there is no political authority. I highly recommend them both.

The rain outside today has got me thinking about rainbows and activities to brighten up a ho-hum day. This is a great indoor activity to do with your child. SO MUCH FUN!!! You DO have to be a bit brave – and not afraid of a little mess… but you wouldn't let that scare you away from a fantastic experience for your child right!!!!?
All you need is one box of cornstarch, food colourings, and water. You will also want a cookie tray to contain the mess!
Dump the cornstarch in a bowl and very slowly add between 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water, stirring as you go.
Onetime (my 2.5 year old son) L-O-V-E-D this stuff! But I can't see any kid NOT enjoying himself. I had a ton of fun too!
Oh, and yes, this IS a picture of my son after dipping his face in the stuff. I believe my husband said, "WHAT the heck happened to his FACE!?!" when he saw the remnants of the blue food colouring on my son's nose a couple of hours later.
Great sensory experience – and adding the different colours one at a time really helped us see how the GOOP moved and worked (not to mention made a nice little side lesson on colour mixing!) And when added gradually – led to a really neat swirly rainbow effect!
I found this recipe in an old collection of camp counselling ideas that I had held onto from my early 20's. I can't believe I hadn't tried this before! Onetime played with this stuff for OVER an HOUR!
And from a personal perspective, I love the beautiful photos I caught of the colours!
This will definitely become a regular on our activity rotation! What do you think? Are you going to try it? Do you DARE???
This looks so amazing! Can't wait to give it a go myself!
We BOTH had fun for sure! Hope you do too!
We do this at least every year – the kids love it! – but we hadn't done the color mixing yet. It looks beautiful!
Soo pretty! I think I might have to frame some prints! Glad you've got something new to try!
So fun! Love messy play! Pinned. Thanks for sharing.
Yes – definitely messy – but worth it! Thanks for dropping by Crayonboxchronicles!
I'm always nervous about using food coloring – but this looks like too much fun! We'll *have* to give it a try!
Yep – I get it. Just spoiled my favourite t-shirt yesterday with a drop from a project. I guess I need to wear a paint smock like my son! Have fun and thanks for dropping by Emma!


Whitening is a process where the tooth discolouration is 'whitened' to a lighter shade by removing the staining through chemical means. It is a safe procedure when carried out under professional supervision.
Treatment results usually depend on the severity of the discolouration. Both vital (i.e. live) and non-vital teeth (e.g. tooth with root removed) can be bleached and may take several visits to complete. It is not effective on dental restorations such as amalgam fillings, metal or porcelain crowns, etc.
Teeth can discolour for various reasons. The dentist will recommend the most ideal method based on your oral condition after an in-office examination to establish the cause and nature of your tooth discolouration, as well as provide you with more information on the various types of whitening procedures available, duration & frequency of treatment.


I would like to have more options when it comes to searching for potential roommates. Options such as, near my home town, wants to live in a certain community floor, wants to join certain clubs, etc. In my case, I am looking for roommates who are in The honors program, but I cant find anyone unless they state it in their profile.
Fix the search option so you can actually search by common interests. Right now you can only search for majors or gender.

ROBERT ANTHONY JONES
STARRING AS
Hugh Romney AKA Wavy Gravy
Before he became known as the iconic hippie "Wavy Gravy," who masterminded feeding 400,000 people "breakfast in bed" at Woodstock, Hugh Romney was The Gaslight's famous phantasmagorical poet and entertainment director. Hugh had a French fiancée who, on one infamous night when
she suspected he might be cheating....
Robert Anthony Jones was born and raised on Long Island, New York,just a stone's throw away from the city. He graduated from Hofstra University holding a BFA in Theatre Arts. He made his Broadway debut in Finding Neverland, playing the roles of both Mr. Cromer and Mr. Henshaw. He eventually took over the role of Mr. Cromer and was part of the final company. Three weeks later, he joined the National Tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway mega-hit, The Phantom of the Opera and the rest is history. His work includes:
Broadway: Finding Neverland-Mr. Cromer (Diane Paulus-dir./Mia Michaels Choreography-Lunt Fontanne Theatre-Final Cast),
National Tours: The Phantom of the Opera-Reyer/Firmin U/S (Laurence Connor-director, The Really Useful Theater Company), The 101 Dalmatians Musical-Jinx Baddun (Jerry Zaks-director, Warren Carlyle-choreographer, Madison Square Garden).

Microsoft Donates $670,000 to NAACP
HOUSTON, July 10, 2002 — Microsoft Corp. today announced a $670,000 grant in cash and software to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in support of the organization's Technology Enhancement and Capacity Building Initiative. The announcement was made at the NAACP's 93rd annual convention to an audience of more than 10,000. This initiative will assist the NAACP in upgrading its information technology capability at its Washington, D.C., bureau; seven regional offices; 2,200 branch offices; and Family Technology Centers.
"Microsoft is pleased to be able to help the NAACP deliver greater digital opportunities to communities nationwide and reach its organizational goals through the effective use of technology," said Bruce Brooks, director of Community Affairs at Microsoft. "The NAACP's unwavering commitment to equal opportunity and improving the lives of people of color is a goal that Microsoft not only salutes but also supports."
The Technology Enhancement and Capacity Building Initiative is the NAACP's largest technology access improvement initiative in history. As part of the initiative, the NAACP will be able to expand its Family Technology Centers program. These centers provide a variety of services such as vocational skills, literacy education and college preparatory training through technology in underserved communities.
"We applaud Microsoft's commitment to work with the NAACP by providing both technology and resources. Our constructive relationship with Microsoft has given the NAACP the ability to do more in helping to reduce the gap in technology so evident in poor communities across America," said Kweisi Mfume, president and CEO of the NAACP.
This grant is in addition to Microsoft's past contributions to the NAACP. To date, Microsoft and its employees have donated more than $1.5 million in cash and software to the organization to help enhance the NAACP's information technology infrastructure and provide technology access in communities across the country.
In 1983, Microsoft established one of the first philanthropic efforts in the high-tech industry. Today, Microsoft Giving is aimed at providing underserved communities with the resources they need to help realize their full potential by supporting innovative programs and projects that enhance technology access, strengthen nonprofits through technology, diversify the technology work force and build community. In fiscal year 2000–2001, Microsoft through Community Affairs gave more than $36.6 million in cash and $179 million in software to more than 5,000 nonprofit organizations. Microsoft supports individual employee acts of giving and the organizations that inspire them by matching, dollar-for-dollar, employee charitable contributions up to $12,000 per employee annually. More information about Microsoft Community Affairs is located at http://www.microsoft.com/giving/ .
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and Internet technologies for personal and business computing. The company offers a wide range of products and services designed to empower people through great software — any time, any place and on any device.

Beyoncé's 'Black Is King' — Behind the Visuals With DP Santiago Gonzalez

Beyoncé's "Black Is King" earned nine Grammy nominations Tuesday, including song of the year and record of the year. The singer, who led the nominations, also received a nomination for Best Music Film. It was the fourth time she has been nominated in that category after winning for Netflix's "Homecoming" and getting nominations for "Lemonade" and "Beyoncé & JAY-Z: On the Run Tour."
"Black Is King," now streaming on Disney Plus, was executive produced by Beyoncé as a visual companion to her 2019 release, "The Lion King: The Gift."
Cinematographer Santiago Gonzalez talked with Variety about how the visuals for the Grammy-nominated music film came together and collaborating with Beyoncé.
What conversations did you have with Beyoncé regarding the visuals for "Black is King?"
The project evolved as we shot. Most of the conversations about the look of the different sections I shot were discussed more with each specific director. I was in a lot of prep meetings with Beyoncé but those were after she and the director had landed on a general look and feel for the section. These meetings would be logistical and world-building and at times I would present to her my ideas for the lighting so we could get more granular about what was needed for each day.
After we shot the first section of "Find your Way Back," the project seemed to grow larger in scope to eventually become "Black Is King." I was brought in to shoot "Find your Way Back" and "Bigger" with Kwasi Fordjour directing, which eventually led to me staying on for various other sections with several different directors and production designers. I filmed "Mood 4 Eva" with Dikayl Rimmasch directing and Ethan Tobman as production designer. I moved on to "Don't Jealous Me" and "Otherside" with Emmanuel Adjei directing and Miranda Lorenz as production designer, and finally to "My Power" with Beyoncé directing and Hannah Beachler as production designer.
Beyoncé directed "My Power" and that section of the film was the one on which I collaborated with her the most. There was also a co-director, Julian Klincewicz, who operated a vintage Ikegani broadcast camera from the 1980s. Our discussions were mainly focused on the set, which was inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky's film, "The Holy Mountain." We wanted to make sure to show how grand the set was. I thought of it as a temple dedicated to the power of femininity — sisterhood and motherhood. We used wide lenses and low sweeping angles to add dynamism to the dance and show the grandeur of the space.
The Ultra-Wide 8mm Prime made each column feel huge and added speed to the camera movement and made the columns feel alive and large. One of the things Beyoncé reiterated on the day of the shoot was that she didn't want to be the point of focus for any shots that included the featured artists (Tierra Whack, Busisswa, Moonchild and Nija).
You can see Beyoncé on the edge of the frame, or integrated into the group where all the artists are the same size in the scene. Because of this, and to show the set, I wanted to keep the lighting bright and with less of a key light. No one had their own beauty light and the lighting was designed to highlight the women's natural beauty.
The narrative to "Find Your Way Back" is beautiful — can you break down how that was filmed and framed — and the vision behind this number?
"Find Your Way Back" was the first video I did for the project. I think at this time it was just being thought of as a video to be released independently and it wasn't until we filmed scenes for "Bigger" that the scope of the project became a much larger film. It's funny — when we were prepping for "Find Your Way Back," the idea behind it at first was to shoot the entire video on drones.
We had a location near Pismo Beach and the idea was to film large wide shots with Beyoncé small in the frame and then come into a close-up, and variances on that. The shoot prep was so quick that even though I wanted a camera that I could carry around with us to shoot in between drone setups there was no time and so we proceeded with the drone idea.
On the shoot day, Beyoncé's team arrived and to my excitement, they had a full Alexa Mini package with them and so I recruited some of the drone team to help me. I built my own camera, pulled my own focus and downloaded my own media, but this gave me the freedom to move faster during some of these shots.
To me, the song felt like it was a call to come back home, to come back to our ancestry and the journey that follows. I think the idea of Afrofuturism is introduced here — with celestial bodies, the Dogon Kanaga masks, etc. In the video, we see a lot of light scenes (desert) and dark scenes (Beyoncé laying down on a bed of stars, the comet landing, the lantern dance, a starry sky) which visually represent a journey and also a duality.
Another thing that was very present for me was the use of sequins and crystals in the fashion which we lit so that they could sparkle and glimmer like stars. Kwasi and I discussed framing her with a lot of negative space around her, primarily above her or to the sides and VFX proceeded to add the moon behind her in a lot of these shots. We scouted sand dunes for a full day and were looking for interesting shapes in the dunes, either very deep valleys or high ridges that would play well with the drone.
I felt terrible sending Beyoncé hundreds of yards down into a valley that I knew she'd have to climb out of later, but we got an incredible image from that. In my experience, she always has the vision to see what the payoff will be. Some of the framing came directly from me thinking about the cover art of Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" — I composed a profile of Beyoncé with dancers in the back as an homage to that art.
"Mood 4 Eva" is another stunning visual, this time with prints — were there filters or specific lenses?
This video was the exact opposite of the simplicity of "Find Your Way Back." Instead, "Mood 4 Eva" was a behemoth two-day shoot in which we had 20 big setups around a Beverly Hills mansion and my crew totaled around 40 people in both G&E and camera. The scope of the shoot was massive and we had quite a bit of prep for it.
This track is the "Hakuna Matata" of the "Black Is King" narrative and thus we wanted the mood of this to be bright, with good contrast, and saturation to make it feel opulent. The idea for the video was a carefree lifestyle with a dreamscape harkening back to old Hollywood and culminating in a Busby Berkeley style aqua-musical fantasy.
The co-director for this section, Dikayl Rimmasch, wanted a vintage look but with images that felt poppy, rich and saturated in the grade. We decided to employ Kowa Cine Prominars — spherical lenses built in the 1960s. They gave us a vintage feel, looked great on skin tones, and had a warmer flare. I also used a diffusion filter to bloom the highlights just a bit and make the images slightly softer. The lighting was mainly designed to feel naturalistic and to make Zerina Akers' amazing wardrobe stand out. I also wanted a lot of the window light to bloom so that we conveyed a dream quality to the video.
One of the main references for this video was the Esther Williams aqua-musical "Bathing Beauty," which we used for framing and lighting of some of the synchronized swimming sections. Some other references used were Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America," particularly for Beyoncé's waking up scene, and Hype Williams' film "Belly" for the club scene.

"Bigger" is one of my favorite sections of the film. Everything came together for this section. There was a beautiful clear day and an amazing sunset that played beautifully for the scene. I did enhance the daylight slightly with a couple of big units, but besides that we played it natural — embracing the direct sunlight and not opting for a large overhead diffusion.
One of the recurring visuals that Beyoncé asked for was a drone shot that was a slow push from a very wide landscape to a mid-shot of her in a beautiful setting. We did one on Bigger and repeated this motif in several of the other videos. In addition to capturing some of her performance on the beach with a drone, I was able to shoot this in both a digital format and on film.
Half of the video was a performance with Beyoncé singing to the track which I filmed on an Alexa Mini with some Zeiss Super Speeds. In addition to the performance, we also shot an elaborate line procession in which Beyoncé carries a child and washes the child alongside other mother-like figures also holding babies.
For this section of the piece, I shot Kodak film with "Astra" Master Primes that were designed by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema who used them on the film "Ad Astra." I opted to use film because I wanted it to feel different from her performance pieces.
This portion was all shot as a beautiful single-take shot by Steadicam operator Nick Muller that unfortunately didn't make it through the edit process, which was really a shame. The shot followed Beyoncé carrying the baby with the frame moving from a very tight closeup to a wide and back and forth between the two. We ended up shooting the line procession through nightfall. I kept adjusting my stop until there really wasn't any light left to get an exposure.

Indonesia's Kejora announces first close of $80M fund for Southeast Asia
Jon Russell	@jonrussell / 4 years
Indonesia-based early-stage investment firm Kejora has announced the first close of a second fund which is targeted at $80 million for investments in Southeast Asia.
Kejora, which is known for its Ideabox accelerator program in Jakarta, has secured one-third of its target, with investment from LPs that include Indonesia's Barito Pacific Group, Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Family and Hubert Burda Media.
The fund is focused on serving pre-Series A and Series A rounds in Southeast Asia with $2 million to $5 million commitments towards each startup. Founding partner Sebastian Togelang revealed that already it has invested in six companies.
"We are looking for companies that are scalable and solving big problems that the large population of Southeast Asia are having. We like founders who are experienced and have the potential to solve the vision and problem, and the ambition to scale to be number one in the region," Togelang told TechCrunch.
Its initial investments include fintech companies C88Fintech Group, MoneyTable and Investree, HR startup Qareer Group Asia, delivery service Etobee, and Saas startup Pawoon.
Kejora's team, left to right: Andy Zain (Managing Partner), Barry Pangestu (Advisory Committee), Sebastian Togelang (Founding Partner), Chatchaval Jiaravanon (Advisory Committee), Phengpian Laogumnerd (Venture Partner), Tridbodi Arunanondchai (Venture Partner)
The firm's first fund focused on seed stage deals but now, with plenty more capital available for early stage startups today versus two or three years ago, it has moved down the channel. The pre-Series A focus makes plenty of strategic sense since there is a difficult bridge for startups to cross from seed to Series A, which many are finding tricky in Southeast Asia.
Beyond providing money and mentoring, the company is opening operational locations across Southeast Asia to give its portfolio local, on-the-ground expertise and guidance for entering new markets. Right now, it has bases in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and of course Indonesia.
"We learned a lot and want to come to the next level, we want to give added value to founders that have learned and see what they are doing," Togelang said.
Togelang said the fund is likely to complete a full close in nine to twelve months.
Southeast Asia is becoming an increasingly attractive market for investors. Beyond a cumulative population of over 600 million, smartphone sales are bucking a global downturn and steadily increasing which brings more of the region's population online and opens the potential for startups. Southeast Asia's digital economy is tipped to grow by more than six-fold to reach $200 billion per year by 2025, according to a report co-authored by Google.
Kejora's new fund comes hot on the heels of a new vehicle for prolific seed stage firm East Ventures, which is also in Jakarta. Other Series A investors in Southeast Asia include Monks' Hill Ventures, Venturra Capital, Jungle Ventures, Golden Gate Ventures, and Convergence Ventures.


It's the beginning of a new college year, which could only mean one thing – time to update your college wardrobe! Of course, for most of us students, funds for our A/W closets are probably quite limited, which is why it's so important to purchase affordable, investment pieces that are both versatile and timeless, ensuring you sail through semester 1 looking as stylish as they come. Here's my guide to choosing those key pieces that will build the structure of your A/W wardrobe, without hurting your bank balance.
When it comes to jeans, it really is all about quality rather than quantity. Invest in a comfortable, flattering and timeless pair of skinnies, I promise you they'll last the entire college year and beyond! My own go-to brand for all things denim has to be River Island, with styles and fits to suit every figure, you're guaranteed to find a pair of investment denims that will never let you down. These Molly jeggings are super versatile as they're casual enough for everyday wear but could easily be dressed up with the right shoes and accessories for an ' after college hours' look too.
An oversized bag really is a crucial component of your college wardrobe but it sometimes proves difficult to find one that's both functional and stylish enough for using every day. A spacious interior that fits all your necessities (laptop, lab reports, lecture notes, etc.), a strong strap that will withstand the weight of its contents and a colour/design that will match the majority of your college wardrobe are key factors to consider when purchasing your college bag. adore this one from New Look as it has plenty of space to pack all your essentials, without looking too bulky.
Given the rather unpredictable nature of Ireland's weather, combined with the Boole's tendency to jump from icy cold to sickeningly stuffy within a matter of minutes, it's probably a smart idea to pick yourself up some stylish outerwear for the colder months ahead. Both the timeless parka and this season's beloved bomber will be making yet another appearance in the A/W 16/17 collections across high street and designer labels. Each style is so versatile, adding an on-trend edge to any outfit, whilst still keeping you dry and chill-free – win/win, eh? This khaki parka is lightweight enough for wear through the spring months too, while the burnt orange of this bomber will look gorgeous teamed with any autumn outfit.
I can't stress how much I love a classic bodysuit, they're super comfortable, flattering and give endless ways to be styled, making them perfect for a college wardrobe on a budget. This simplistic style, complete with a scoop neck and 1/2 sleeve is ideal for everyday wear. Stock up on neutral colours such as black, white and grey and you'll have a gorgeous basis to build your everyday college wear upon.
If I had to choose one style of boot to see me through the autumn/winter months, I would definitely choose a pair of Chelsea boots. The flattering ankle cut of these from H&M make them perfect for wear with both jeans and dresses. When investing in a pair of boots, it's important to find some with soft leather that won't crease badly with wear and the elasticated sides on these also add extra comfort when worn. Opt for a tan or black pair which will go well with any outfit, to ensure you get the most wear out of your purchase.
When it comes to accessorizing, an oversized scarf in a vibrant colour or quirky design can transform an outfit whilst still being functional and timeless. Jewel colours like the burnt orange, royal blue and pink running through this knit from River Island's A/W collection will bring denims and neutrals to life. The best part about sporting an oversized scarf is you can layer it according to the weather, making it a really adaptable piece to have in every college wardrobe.
The simplest way to combine style and comfort, in my opinion, is with a shirt dress. If like me, you enjoy making that little bit of extra effort for lectures and labs now and again, you really can't go wrong with this style of dress. Teamed with tights and Chelsea boots, this little denim number will ensure you remain trend savvy while still being practical enough for running around in as day wear. Even better, it can double up as a going out dress by ditching the tights and swapping the boots for some lace up heels. Coming in at under €30, this multi-functional beauty from Boohoo will suit even the tightest of student budgets!

If you're moving this summer, the busiest season for moving, you know how daunting it can be. But if you create a blueprint for your move, the transition from house to house will go more smoothly.
1. Full serve, partial serve or a do-it-yourself move.
Can you do it alone or should you hire a licensed moving company for a full-service or partial-service move? This is one of the first and often most difficult questions soon-to-be moving households face. The answer depends on your lifestyle, household size, budget and amount of time you have to get everything accomplished. Get written quotes from at least three licensed moving companies so you know you're getting the best deal based on your specific moving needs. Moving yourself or doing a partial-service move? Packing calculators can make it easier to estimate the amount of boxes and packing materials needed.
2. Plan to unpack BEFORE you pack.
Take photos of each room in the new home before you arrive with furniture, plants, appliances and family in tow. Write down on a clip board where each item should go in your next home before packing, and carry it with you on moving day. List out the major items that need to be assembled first. As you place each item in its new room, cross it off the list and you will be one step closer to enjoying your new home.
3. Be strategic about packing.
If you have more than a month to 'pick up and move', start early. Complete a free change of address and schedule utilities ahead of time at Moving.com. Start packing early. Whether it's one room, one cabinet or a drawer at a time, weed through what may be years of accumulation. As you're going through your belongings, divide everything into these helpful categories: donate to charity, give to a friend, recycle, trash, pack now, or keep handy until moving day. You'll be surprised at how much you can donate, recycle or give to friends. And, you'll not be overwhelmed with the task at hand three days before you move.
4. Moving is NOT child's play. Plan ahead.
Consider daycare on moving day, or get help from a friend or family member. Provide lunch or some other appropriate thank you gesture if you do call in a favor. If that's not an option, prioritize setting up safe places for your children to play in the new home on moving day so they're not underfoot. This will help everyone remain happy and calm on moving day.
5. Don't fight with Fido.
Sometimes we forget that all the packing and constant in-and-out of visitors is stressful for animals. Consider checking your pet into a daycare facility, or setting up a time for a friend to take them or check them into petday care. Don't let your four-legged best friends get lost in the shuffle and remember to make day-of moving arrangements.
6. Keep track of small parts.
Hooking up TVs, DVRs, home theater systems and computers can be challenging. Before unplugging any wires for the move, take a photo of the connections, print them out and label them in detail. This will create fewer headaches when setting up technology in the new home. Keep track of all loose wires using baggies or boxes that are clearly labeled, and personally carry these easy-to-lose items on moving day.
8. Packing cleaning products and toxins.
Products such as detergents, pesticides and paint are heavy and unwieldy to pack. Dispose of as many as possible before the move in an eco-friendly way. Call your city's waste disposal department for guidance on proper disposal. For items that must be transported, pack them in a small box within a larger box for protection against leaks. Don't overstuff boxes with these items! Consider marking these boxes in a different color, and seal them extra tight. Keep them separate from the rest of the boxes, particularly if you have kids and pets.
If using a professional mover, it may cost a few dollars extra, but it provides peace of mind and eliminates later annoyances. Investing in full value protection means any lost or damaged articles will be repaired or replaced, or a cash settlement will be made at current market value, regardless of age. It's important to note that the required minimum coverage of 60 cents per pound would not cover the replacement cost of more expensive items such as a flat screen TV if damaged in transit.
