I'm in love with my VLabel London Bond Dress which can either sit on the shoulders or be worn off the shoulders depending on your preference.
As a vertically challenged gal, I've found my loophole into pulling off midi and maxi dresses without a hitch and its all in the art of the dress split. Showing a little bit of leg can add length and shape to a dress that would otherwise swallow you up which is why the Bond Dress was perfect for me!
Today are three of my favourite "right now" things combined: reflector sunglasses, lighting/cracked print and metallic detailing.
Cracked/lightning print has taken social media by a snowstorm so it wasn't going to be long before I got swept away too. This print adds an edge to the usually neutral black and white and is the perfect contrast with fitted outerwear and boots. Click here to shop the range.
I've always been a black blazer kind of gal, if I had a blazer colour option then black would win all the time... until I saw the gold trim blazer. The rose gold tint is the perfect cherry on top for a classic fitted blazer and I love the almost boyfriend length it has on me (perks of a shorter girl). Check out St Frock's range of blazers and outerwear here or by clicking the label below.
Adding pops of colour to an outfit gives it a new form of life. Wish's Mineral top added another element (excuse the pun) to a once neglected jacket and skirt. Unfortunately this time around for my Wish x Honda City post, the sun only came out during the last few shots of the set so I've let the top do most of the talking instead of the setting.
If you follow me on Instagram you can probably tell that I'm a Saint Laurent hoarder. Despite the dropping of the Yves, I can't get enough of the classic YSL logo and the classic clutch is always going to be on my favourites list!
If you're a bag hoarder like me - make sure you sign up to Reebonz by clicking this link here to get access to their 40% off sales events happening NEXT WEEK! I don't know about you but 40% off designer items sounds like an early Christmas to me.
Soon to come to Cooper St is this stripy collab with Whitney Port and many more for the monochrome lovers and staple hunters. You can't really go wrong with black and white stripes and Whitney Port's modern feminine touch made the Double Take combo my perfect sunday stroll outfit.
To see what is available as well as shop the up to 60% off sale click here.
If you're wondering why the Balenciaga Classic City Bag is so sought after, it may be because of the Balenciaga hardware details or the fact that it comes in almost every colour under the sun - black, beiges, jewel tones and more, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with its extremely lightweight feel. The leather is cut thin instead of chunky which makes it extremely easy to wear but still durable with plenty of room for all the necessities and more.
The Balenciaga Classic City bag is currently available in over 6 colours at the Reebonz store on George St in the City, Sydney and you can also purchase it online from Reebonz.
Feeling like little red riding hood on this chilly afternoon in this red ensemble. Although it probably wasn't wise for little red riding hood to walk through the woods alone dressed in red, its definitely one of my favourite pop colours this season and breaks up my winter monochrome closet quite well!
There are two things that I love in a coat: large collars and waterfall drapes. This St Frock coat features 2 in 1 with the added bonus of pockets. Its a simple staple coat to match your glass of red ;) and is now available here.
I've been apprehensive about the midi skirt, not because it doesn't look great but because I didn't think I had the height for it. I'm not an incredibly tall person and the midi skirt looked like it might be a gown on me but the Chicwish midi skirt was the perfect fit! I can safely say that I've hopped on the midi skirt bandwagon.
This classic Y Clutch by Saint Laurent features the iconic Y gold hardware and is the perfect size to fit your wallet, phone and makeup essenrtials. Its a flap front clutch with a magentic snap closure and is available in over 10 colours, if you would like $38 off this bag or any other designer goods at Reebonz just sign up here.

Monochrome is a timeless trend that is transeasonal and easy to wear with anything which explains why the majority of my closet is black and white, but as boring as black and white sounds - it doesn't have to be boring!
Structured bustiers like this Fan Fair Bustier by Cooper St and finding a new use for cotton or chiffon cardigans like my favourite draped cardigan from St Frock is definitely something I'm enjoying this season.
Long black cardigans are a staple that is often worn casually and in between layers but don't be afraid to mix it up a little. Try draping that cardigan over your shoulders like a cape, it can change a whole outfit and you'll be able to find a whole new use for your favourite cardis!


ARSENAL are winning the battle to sign Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The attacker has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with the Mirror claiming the Gunners and Chelsea are eyeing the 27-year-old.
Starsport also revealed this week that Tottenham are keen on the Armenia international.
However, The Sun reckon Arsenal are leading the race to sign the £20m ace.
They say Mkhitaryan - who has one year left on his deal with the German giants - wants £85,000-a-week on his next contract.
The Sun add that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wants the playmaker to be part of a revamped midfield - following the addition of Granit Xhaka last month - that will turn his side into real title contenders.
Mkhitaryan had a fine season for Dortmund, netting 18 times and registering 20 assists in all competitions.

The East End Dwellings Company was a Victorian philanthropic model dwellings company, operating in the East End of London in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The company was founded in principle in 1882 by, among others, Samuel Augustus Barnett, vicar of St Jude's Church, Whitechapel; it was finally incorporated in 1884.

Its aim was to "house the very poor while realizing some profit", "their particular purpose being to erect blocks of dwellings, to be let by the room, so that the poorest class of labourers could be accommodated". Unlike many of the model dwellings companies, the EEDC offered accommodation to the casual poor and day labourers.

The company's first venture was Katharine Buildings in Aldgate, followed by a number of schemes in Bethnal Green, London. They went on to build around the East End. Along the principles of Octavia Hill's schemes, the company used female rent-collectors, including Beatrice Potter (later Webb), one of the founders of the London School of Economics & Political Science and Ella Pycroft, who ran the Buildings alongside Maurice Eden Paul.

2017 Ford GT Is The Ultimate In Luxury At $400,000
By B. George Young on June 2, 2015 in Articles › Celebrity Cars
The newest model of the Ford GT hyper car looks like the best one yet – both on the inside and outside. A stunning blue version of the 2017 Ford GT was unveiled at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The GT is part of Ford's plan to roll out at least a dozen new sporting cars by the year 2020. This car had better be great, because the price is expected to be as high as $400,000! Ford is planning on making about 250 GTs each year, with a total run of less than 1,000 vehicles. The 2017 model year vehicle will be delivered by the end of this year, but they are quite limited, so you'd better act fast!
Under the hood, the Ford GT will feature a twin-turbocharged 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 engine capable of more than 600 horsepower. The engine will be mid-mounted and the GT will also feature rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed semi-automatic transmission. The top speed of the GT should be over 200 miles per hour and it will be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. This car will certainly be fast and powerful and it will also look good doing so.

The 2017 GT features both full carbon-fiber construction and body panels. It will sit on 20-inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires. Ford has focused on making this supercar light in weight to enhance its performance. The GT will utilize active aerodynamics and use multi-position rear wing mics similar to those of the P1 and LaFerrari. One possible drawback of this two-door coupe is that the chassis mounted seating may be less than comfortable for the driver and therefore it may not be good for long road trips.
The 2017 Ford GT will be the second generation of the GT produced and it will be assembled in Canada. It will come equipped with Ford's brand new advanced connectivity system, the SYNC3 infotainment system. This luxury car will mark the 50th anniversary of when Ford's GT race cars placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Owners of this car will certainly have something to celebrate when it is finally available.

Journalist's trial again delayed, RSF calls for charges to be dropped
Morocco / Western Sahara
Middle East - North Africa
Online freedoms
Judicial harassment
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on Morocco's judicial authorities to drop serious terrorism charges dating back to 2013 that are still pending against news website editor Ali Anouzla, who appeared in court today only to see the hearing postponed yet again.
Anouzla is facing up to 30 years in prison on charges of "material support for terrorism," "justifying terrorism" and "incitement to commit acts of terrorism" in a September 2013 post on Lakome, the website of which he was then the editor.
He spent five weeks in provisional detention before being released on bail on 25 October 2013, since when the case has neither been tried nor dropped. When he appeared in court in Rabat today, the hearing was again postponed, this time until february 22, 2018.
"The Moroccan judicial system's conspiracy against Ali Anouzla must stop," said Yasmine Kacha, the head of RSF's Tunis bureau. "We call for the withdrawal of the baseless charges against this journalist, who was one of RSF's 'information heroes' in 2014. Use of the terrorism law to prosecute journalists violates Morocco's constitution and its international obligations to protect the right to inform."
The grounds given by the authorities for the charges against Anouzla was the 2013 post's inclusion of a link to an article on the website of the Spanish daily El País that, in turn, had a link to a video supposedly posted by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). But, according to the information obtained by RSF, the real reason for the decision to arrest Anouzla was other revelations in Lakome that had irritated the authorities.
Morocco is ranked 133th out of 180 countries in RSF's 2017 World Press Freedom Index.

With only 39 per cent of the homes sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana built so far, completion of affordable housing projects under the PMAY has been slow, according to an Anarock report on Sunday.
"Progress under the PMAY has been slow. As of now, we`re not looking at realistic completion of the targeted number of homes. As per the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, out of the 79 lakh homes sanctioned under the PMAY so far, only around 39 per cent have either been completed or occupied," it said.
"The gap is too big to ignore," the report said. On new properties in the market, the report said supply of new housing units in the top seven cities in the country declined by 64 per cent in the last five years from 5.45 lakh units in 2014 to 1.95 lakh units in 2018.

New bat-borne virus discovered in China : Healthcare Asia Daily News | Asia's Leading News and Information Source on Healthcare and Medical Industry, Medical Technology, Healthcare Business and R&D, Healthcare Events. Online since 2010.
Bats are particularly well-known carriers of viruses which can be fatal to humans – the recent discovery of an Ebola-like virus by Chinese and Singaporean scientists in the liver of fruit bats in Yunnan Province, China, is therefore potentially dangerous.
Named after Mengla County, the 'Mengla' virus belongs to the small but deadly family of filoviruses, including Ebola virus. These viruses cause severe haemorrhagic fever in humans and primates, but there is no evidence as yet that the Mengla virus has been transmitted to humans.
The same Chinese scientists have previously found evidence of several filoviruses in other species of bats and now discovered that the Mengla virus has 32-54% genetic similarity with known filoviruses, but is different enough to warrant its own genus – Dianlovirus.
The genome of the Mengla virus has indicated that it can infect mammals. The virus has the potential to either infect humans directly or by first infecting other animals – the Mengla virus can jump to humans through urbanisation and deforestation and the resulting close interaction between humans and animals.
In 2018, the 'Bombali' Ebola virus was discovered in free-tailed bats in Sierra Leone, West Africa posing a high risk to humans because free-tailed bats are known to roost in people's homes. The added consumption of bat "bushmeat" in Africa and hunting bats for money has put them at further risk of animal to human spillover of viruses. African authorities have worked to contain the virus.
However, there is a potential role of bats in the spread of diseases, threatening global public health, and identification of this new Mengla virus has showed the genetic diversity of filoviruses beyond Africa. It is a warning that we need to continuously monitor and swiftly respond to emergency situations of future diseases.

Civic's ICO Sells Out Before Sale, But Crowd to Get Second Chance
Decentralized identity startup Civic has already sold out of its planned token offering – even before the sale took place.
By Pete Rizzo
Jun 13, 2017 at 12:30 p.m. UTC

"We didn't want to raise as much as possible."
Amidst a wave of uncapped initial coin offerings (ICOs) that has found relatively untested projects out-raising even the most well-known industry startups, some investors are seeking to temper the speculation. That's the case for entrepreneur Vinny Lingham, whose latest venture Civic turned down the opportunity to collect millions more in sales.
Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, the startup has already sold $33m in Civic tokens (CVC) – eight days before the official offering was to take place.
In interview, Lingham, the company's founder and CEO, explained that as a result, investors in the pre-sale will now effectively return one-third of these tokens so that investors who couldn't participate in any preliminary offerings are able to get a fair shot at purchasing.
Lingham told CoinDesk:
"We don't want the vanity headlines, where it all happens in pre-sales and behind the scenes. We don't want to be sold out in 30 seconds, we want to be distributed to as many people as possible."
This means even with the outsized demand for the project, 33% of the 33 million CVC tokens the project has sold will be headed back to the market in the formal ICO.
"All the buyers that have sent an allocation in bitcoin and ether to us, we're going to release a part of it to [the market]. Whatever doesn't sell out, the [pre-sale] buyers are going to get," he said. "It was a smart way of ensuring buyers if we didn't sell out.
As detailed in the firm's public statements and white paper, the remaining assets will be divided between the company itself and as-yet-undefined opportunities to advance a future ecosystem.
CVC tokens will still retail for $0.10 each, a price that was also fixed for pre-sale investors. According to Lingham, even funds that participated in the pre-sale – and investors in its traditional equity round – paid the same price that crowdsale participants will ultimately be offered on 21st June.
Further, crowdsale participants will also be required to verify their identities via Civic, a feature that Lingham said will both reduce fraud and showcase the company's technology.
Announced on 20th May, Civic's service aims to rethink web logins, providing a decentralized means for internet users to verify components of their identity without exchanging personal data. As such, the service is positioned as a potential alternative that adds more layers to the experience via the power of a blockchain system.
Disclosure: CoinDesk is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which has an ownership stake in Civic and has invested in Civic tokens.

Home>Experiences>Nature>Six reasons why La Palma is the pretty island
Six reasons why La Palma is the pretty island
Among volcanoes and black sandy beaches, the most north-westerly of the Canary Islands looks forever upwards, to one of the cleanest skies in the world.
Text	: Emilie Aubriot
a Palma does boast of being a Biosphere Reserve since 2002. For this and six other reasons, La Palma deserves to be the name on your next plane ticket (whatever the month may be).
1. Lunar landscapes
Like the rest of the Canary Islands, La Palma is volcanic – a condition that shapes its singular landscape. The Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente, in the centre of the island, is a massive eight-kilometre-wide crater that rises to a height of 2,000 metres. Besides the volcanic eruptions (the oldest lava flows on the island), the precipitous landscape has been transformed by water erosion. The best example is the Cascada de los Colores, in the Barranco de las Angustias, a waterfall coloured by iron and minerals, algae and moss. Several hiking trails run through the ravine. Another of the island's most distinctive spots (and one of the most visited) are the saltpans of Fuencaliente, considered a Site of Scientific Interest due to the migratory birds that rest there. The stark whiteness of the salt against the black volcanic earth and glistening blue sea give this place an otherwordly beauty.

2. One of the cleanest skies on the planet
Situated in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, almost 2,000 kilometres from the Iberian mainland, La Palma's skies are clean and protected from light pollution. These enviable stargazing conditions have earned La Palma the distinction Starlight Reserve for the extraordinary quality of the night sky. Knowledge-packed guided tours are available to several observation points, such as Llanos del Jable or Llano de La Venta, two of the astronomical viewpoints you will find all over the island.

3. A thousand kilometres of trails
La Palma is criss-crossed with a network of trails that have been used by the islanders for centuries. Around 1,000 kilometres of pathways, the majority signposted, meet the demands of trekking enthusiasts. They are marked according to length and difficulty: mountainous, over cultivated slopes, through pine forests… In spring, it blends the green of the Canary pine with the yellow of the corazoncillo, a small endemic flower. Two other trails run through Los Tilos forest, in the northeast; one that cuts through the heart of the forest and another that climbs as high as 1,000 metres to the Marcos and Cordero springs.

4. Unspoilt beaches of black sand
The volcanic origins of the Canaries are also apparent on the beaches of La Palma, the black sand providing a distinctive backdrop to moments of relaxation. Puerto Naos beach is the island's largest. Proud owner of the Blue Flag award since 2007, it is a favourite spot among paragliding enthusiasts and night divers. In the north, the beach at Nogales (Puntallana) is haven for surfers and naturists, with the black of its sand in stark contrast against the blue of the sea and the green of its spectacular cliff. The gentle waves of Los Cancajos to the east offer peaceful bathing and a great opportunity to try diving for the first time. Like the rest of the island, the good weather lasts all year round, with 4,800 hours of annual sunshine and one of the best climates in the world guaranteed.

5. Colonial, festive culture
A visit to Santa Cruz de la Palma, the island's capital, is a trip into the past, to a perfectly preserved old town. Balconied colonial manor-houses line the Avenida Marítima in the most important municipality on the island, which, from its east coast location, exudes a seafaring air. The city's architecture reflects the legacy of its inhabitants, a legacy that is also reflected in its traditions, folklore and festivals. All these aspects come together in the 'romerías' that weave through the streets, like those of La Virgen del Pino in El Paso and La Virgen de las Nieves in Santa Cruz. The locals participate in these festive marches wearing traditional dress, setting out from the chapels and culminating in lively, outdoor celebrations.
6. The nectar of the gods
The culture and gastronomy of La Palma is defined by its climatic diversity. Fruits like banana and mango share the hillsides with sugar cane and wine grapes. Sugar is grown in the San Andrés y Sauces area, and is used to make La Palma rum. The island's wine cellars are among the best in the Canaries, Malvasia being the most emblematic. In fact, La Palma's wines have been praised in literature, most notably by Shakespeare and Lord Byron. At mealtimes, there is no shortage of spirits, desserts… and queso palmero. Made from goat's milk, the smooth buttery cheese has a distinctive smoky flavour.

Scientists have been studying the link between amyloid plaques and Alzheimer's disease for over 20 years, but a growing number of experts are questioning this prevailing hypothesis. Thomas J. Lewis, Ph.D. has been leading the call to change the way the medical community looks at, and treats, Alzheimer's disease. And according to this Alzheimer's expert, the notion that amyloid plaque is the sole cause of Alzheimer's disease is nothing more than a myth, peddled by the profit-seeking pharma industry for their own financial gain.
Dr. Lewis is the CEO and founder of RealHealth Clinics, and has spent years researching and developing alternative treatments for the condition. Despite the fact that amyloid plaques and the "amyloid cascade" hypothesis have been the cornerstone of Alzheimer's disease research for decades, Lewis believes that other forces are at play. Other experts have also begun to question the amyloid dogma — and for good reason.
As sources explain, the current accepted theory about Alzheimer's goes like so: Beta amyloid, a protein fragment, accumulates in the brain and forms clumps of amyloid plaque. This plaque is believed to destroy synapses, cause nerve cell death and ultimately, impair brain function.
The theory sounds good on paper, but as Dr. Lewis explains, there are some glaring problems with this hypothesis.
And as sources report, more than 100 amyloid-targeting drugs have been tested in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease; all have failed. Researchers have even tried using these drugs in milder cases of dementia, still to no avail. Now, rather than admit their prevailing theory is wrong, Big Pharma is looking to employ totally healthy people as their guinea pigs. If amyloid plaques were the problem, the drugs should have offered at least some benefit. Further, giving healthy people drugs to prevent a disease they don't have, ultimately, won't even provide substantiating proof of concept, anyways — not that a lack of convincing evidence has ever stopped Big Pharma before.
More, Dr. Lewis explained at a recent summit, there are many cases of Alzheimer's disease in which no amyloid plaques are present. This alone is a bit of a red flag; after all, if the plaques are the only thing that causes Alzheimer's, they should be present in all patients.
This finding, at the very least, suggests that there is more than one cause of Alzheimer's.
Even more interesting is the finding that amyloid plaque is often present in the brains of individuals not affected by Alzheimer's disease.
As Dr. Lewis notes further, research by Harvard University has shown that beta amyloid is actually part of the immune system response. This, he posits, could mean that amyloid plaques may actually play a protective role in the brain. Instead of causing Alzheimer's, the accumulation of beta amyloid may be a sign that something else is going awry.
So, the drugs designed to target the "cause" of Alzheimer's do nothing to actually help treat the disease, and studies have indicated that amyloid plaque, at the very least, is not the only factor that contributes to it, either. It is no wonder that experts like Dr. Lewis propose that perhaps another factor is at play.
Indeed, it would seem that like other conditions, Alzheimer's disease can be triggered by an array of causes. Dr. Lewis notes, however, that inflammation is virtually always present. He posits that environmental toxins, stress, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and bacterial and viral infections can all play a role in the onset of the disease.
Research has shown that prescription drugs and vaccines can also contribute to the development of Alzheimer's. All things considered, it's clear that the way mainstream medicine currently looks at Alzheimer's disease is misguided. You can learn more at Dementia.news.

Madison Cawthorn is a jerk, but he's a complicated jerk
So people are talking about Cawthorn's sexual behavior as a riff on the "service as a husband" statement he made in an interview to explain why he has missed so many votes so early in his career as a congress member. There's actually a lot to critique in Cawthorn's behavior, but I'm choosing not to focus on this aspect, the aspect where he talks about sex a little too loudly and a little too defensively.
There's a toxic behavior of able bodied people that desexualizes people with disabilities, and strips men with disabilities of their masculinity, which is to say their adulthood and value as a member of a community. You may be familiar with the concept of "infantilizing" people with disabilities. Well, this is part of that. Men are adults, and infants don't have sex. It's all related. When there's no sexual disfunction at all, and the person with the disability knows that, it's still bad enough. It excludes you from community if people assume that something important in their own lives is something completely irrelevant to you.
It gets worse when there is actually sexual disfunction involved … or potentially involved. Nerves are complicated, and Cawthorn's spinal injury could leave him unable to get an erection or not, we don't know…but the odds that he's permanently unable to get a penile erection are really high, far, far higher than the background rate of the population. Moreover, because most people don't understand how complicated nervous systems can be, most people think an injury like Cawthorn's has a 100% impotence rate.
Cawthorn's behavior is gross, but he's almost certainly responding to gross assumptions, prejudice, and community exclusion he faces as someone with a spinal cord injury. If he was a douchebro in high school whose friendship circle committed small sexual assaults and bragged about those assaults and/or their sexual behavior, then while other people would become more adult as they became adult, the insecurities of adolescent years would be replaced by the insecurities of being a guy assumed to be impotent in the middle of a culture where men's sexual activity is associated with his general competence.
His behavior is atrocious, but it's known that straight guys with spinal injuries compensate by being publicly sexual in their conversations and behavior. The prejudiced behavior of his peers can never justify his own bad choices, but we can at least understand that anti disability prejudice and Cawthorn's insecurities in the face of that prejudice play a role here.
I encourage everyone to strongly condemn his assaultive behavior, loudly and often. There's no excuse for it.
But before you condemn him for talking about sex with his wife just a little too loud or in a venue that's a little too public, maybe consider how our society's ableism is creating a context conducive to such overreactions. In particular, I've seen speculation (a LOT of speculation) that Cawthorn is a closeted gay man and defensiveness about potentially being seen as gay/bi/queer might have a lot to do with his behavior. I agree that defensiveness probably plays a role, but since we know that straight guys with spinal injuries are prone to this defensiveness as a result of how society treats them in relation to their disability, speculating on his queerness is not only unlikely to be correct, it's actually likely to increase the anxiety (and ultimately the defensiveness) of other straight guys with spinal injuries.
There are a lot of people with spinal injuries, and while Cawthorn deserves condemnation, I don't want to make those other people believe that we're not sympathetic to what they're going through. So for me, I'm going to choose not to focus on his loud, "I HAVE SEX! I CAN HAVE SEX!" statements and instead focus on the scary, fucked up, assaultive "car rides" he gave women in college and the scary fucked up political positions he takes in congress. And I'm certainly not going to suggest that he's queer just because he's a man with a spinal injury who seems defensive about sex and masculinity.

Are direct-to-consumer ads enough to make patients ask for your product?
Marketers must use multiple touchpoints to sway the consumer and ensure that they explain how quality of life can be maintained through adherence.
America's evening network news programs are still heavily sponsored by pharmaceutical products, but direct-to-consumer (DTC) TV ads are not enough to drive patients to visit their doctor to ask for the product.
Continued research indicates that in the search for health information, consumers don't rely on any one touchpoint, other than their doctor, to choose healthcare treatments.
Last year I did a study for a client on how consumers chose healthcare treatments via online resources. The top-line result was that virtually everyone goes to multiple health websites before deciding to select, or ask for, a treatment. It involves general health sites, like WebMD, as well as social media. What patients want to know is the 'why', but also how other patients are living with chronic conditions and what side effects are most bothersome.
TV is still a great way to raise awareness, but DTC marketers are not measuring effective reach, and thus a lot of money is being wasted. DTC managers need to think like patients and take the same journey, from awareness through to conversion, so they can better allocate dollars to touchpoints that drive brand objectives.
While DTC ads are largely devoted to acquiring new patients, there seems to be a huge void in keeping patients on therapy. Multiple studies clearly show the need for some type of intervention to achieve this. Is DTC marketing the way? I believe it can be – if the ads are developed with research insights.
Last year, in qualitative research, we tested several concepts with patients who had high blood pressure. The best results were the ones that focused on quality of life by staying on therapy. Discount coupons were well received, but were not enough to ensure compliance and adherence. The best-received concepts were ones that informed people about the health risks of high blood pressure and quality of life. Images of real people, not models, enjoying life, also tested very well. The key takeaway here is that there are multiple opportunities for DTC marketers to embrace downstream marketing.
If we think like patients, who often have too many treatment choices, we can brainstorm and test the best initiatives, beyond selling, that ensure DTC marketing can be a valuable tool for marketers and a valuable resource for patients. However, we need to get beyond the thinking that a TV spot and product website are enough. US consumers and patients have become adept at checking your claims and comparing treatments; a sales message on your website is not enough to get them to see their doctor to ask for your product.
It's a multi-touch environment and marketing needs to be tailored at every stop in the journey to influence treatment choices.

Q: git push ERROR: Permission to  denied to  One month ago I configured two github accounts on my mac: one account for work and another for personal use.
I've been using both for a month without problems. In the day commiting/pushing/etc to repos from work. At night, commiting/pushing/etc in a couple of personal repos.
Suddenly, today I was unable to push some changes in one of my personal account, the error is:
git push --set-upstream origin <branch>
ERROR: Permission to <repo>.git denied to <work-account>.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I don't know why git push command is trying to push using my work account!?!?!?
My previous changes and push in this repo were 7 days ago with my personal account (without issues). I did not change anything in my config (ssh, .git/config files, etc.)!
I tried this in the directory of the repo:
git config user.email
git config user.name

Email is my personal email, so this is correct.
Why is git using my work account? Even if the git config command display my personal account?
Also, this was working some days ago ...
Note 2:

*

*I have both accounts defined in ~/.ssh directory: id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, id_rsa_, id_rsa_.pub.

*~/.ssh/config is also defined:

Host github.com
  Hostname github.com
  User git
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host <githubpersonal>
  Hostname github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_<personal_account>

*

*the remote origin of the repo I think it's well defined:

[remote "origin"]
    url = git@<githubpersonal>:<personal_account>/<repo>.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

*

*if I run git remote -v I get:

origin  git@<githubpersonal>:<personal_account>/<repo>.git (fetch)
origin  git@<githubpersonal>:<personal_account>/<repo>.git (push)

I don't know why is not working anymore ...

A: Check your config file for any pushURL configuration, to check if it tries and push using an URL you do not expect.
Note: the SSH URL you can test is githubpersonal, not git@githubpersonal, since git is already specified in ~/.ssh/config
ssh -Tv githubpersonal

Gary Cooper: Immortality of the Sphinx
Posted by Just Another Film Buff under All Posts, Books, Hollywood, Translations | Tags: A Farewell to Arms, Ball of Fire, Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, Cloak and Dagger, Design for Living, Desire, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Gary Cooper, Love in the Afternoon, Luc Moullet, Man of the West, Meet John Doe, Morocco, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Peter Ibbetson, Politique des acteurs, Sergeant York, The Fountainhead, Today We Live, Translation |
[From Luc Moullet's Politique des acteurs (1993, Cahiers du cinéma). See Table of Contents]
The saga of the left profile: Cooper has to always have the most marked face possible… (Sergeant York, 1941)
Gary Cooper became famous, most of all, in uniform: thirty of his eighty-two films present him in attire, starting from Opus 5, Wings (1927), till the penultimate one, The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959), and we must perhaps also include For Whom the Bell Tolls, where he is in plainclothes but at war. He stands, then, for the conventional, official Right, somewhat perverted towards the end of his career since, in the comedy You're in the Navy Now (1951), he plays an officer holding a post that has nothing to do with his capabilities, since The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell (1955) shows him as an outcast general criticizing the decisions of the army. And the captain of the Mary Deare, the only man on board the ghost ship that traffics arms, would also go on trial, just like Billy Mitchell.
But more than a moral value, the uniform represents a visual asset: it throws Cooper's great height into relief. His lean build makes him look almost like a model. All outfits go on him: army, navy, air force, ancient (in Westerns) or exotic (attire of the French legionnaires) uniforms, or both at once (The Lives of Bengal Lancer).
Morocco (1930) is not the first film where he is a legionnaire (there was Beau Sabreur already in 1928), but it's the one that imposed this brand image. Undoubtedly, the success of Morocco incited lazy producers to cast him as an army man in five consecutive films from 1931 to 1933.
Watching Sternberg's Morocco, we could say that Cooper is more of a silhouette, a statue, an image, a model, a prop, an element in the general aesthetic of the film. He belongs to the class of Sternbergian strongmen, the giant variety (like John Wayne later) that alternates with the stout variety (Bancroft, Jannings, McLaglen, Beery, Mature), the Mitchum of Macao being both — a predilection that might explain the failure of Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov-Peter Lorre being evidently the antithesis of the Sternbergian man.
This mythical aspect goes hand in hand with the spirit of the film. You get the feeling that Sternberg—in this film as in his other works of the period—accepted and even sought out all the already-mythologized elements of convention—a handsome army man, a femme fatale, an impossible love, a rich and wily old French seducer, and the charms and the dangers of mysterious Africa. This strategy allowed him to come out of all charges unscathed: if the film failed, wise guy Sternberg could always claim that it was impossible to make anything from such a ridiculous plot. If the film succeeded, he could boast of having overcome all these superhuman obstacles.

We'll start in India's capital city of New Delhi, which is home to an unforgettable collage of all the cultures, religions and languages. We'll also visit Old Delhi - which served as the home of the Mughal Empire centuries ago. You'll be mesmerised by Old Delhi's rich history, exquisite architecture and its tasty street cuisine, in contrast to the modern architecture and way of life in New Delhi.
We'll also stop at the 'Pink City' of Jaipur, the capital of India's Rajasthan state. We'll explore it's highlights such as Amber Fort, City Palace and the Jantar Mantar Observatory, whilst also taking in the beautiful craft and produce markets dotted all around us. While we're in Rajasthan, we'll also visit the village of Tordi - staying in a converted palace and exploring its remote village, which will give you great insight into the daily lives of the locals who call this rural area home.
We'll visit the massive stepwell at Abanheri, which boasts approximately 3,500 steps and 13 stories, before heading to Bharatpur for a guided cycle rickshaw ride in the Keoladeo National Park, exploring its wide variety of birdlife and other wildlife.
Next on the agenda is a tour of Fatehpur Sikri, a small, deserted city in northern India, just west of Agra. Built during the second half of the 16th century by the Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri was the capital of the Mughal Empire. A local villager will take us on a Mughal Heritage Walk through villages and farmland on the bank of the Yamuna River, giving us a stunning view of the Taj Mahal.
That won't be the only view you'll get of the Taj Mahal, as we take you on a sunrise tour of this spectacular monument before we head to Agra's Red Fort. We'll make one more stop, to a visit to the Akshardham temple to watch a spectacular multimedia water show.
We'll stay in comfortable mid-range modern-style hotels in Delhi and Agra, mixed with heritage hotels converted from Havelis and Palaces in Jaipur and Tordi, and a resort on the edge of Keoladeo National Park.

DAY 2, Sightseeing tour of Old and New Delhi
Your day starts with a morning tour of India's capital, New Delhi. Built on the banks of the Yamuna river, New Delhi is a beautiful blend of a historical past and a vibrant present.
We start at India Gate in the centre of New Delhi, a 42-metre high "Arc-de-Triomphe" like archway, a war memorial built to commemorate the 82,000 soldiers who partook in the undivided Indian Army. We'll drive past various government buildings such as the President's Palace and the Parliament of India, before passing Humayun's Tomb – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Bangla Sahab Gurudwara Sikh Temple.
We'll stop at Connaught Place Station and join the locals on the metro to Old Delhi where we'll walk through one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk, before exploring the narrow streets of Chawri Bazar which specialises in selling brass, copper and paper products. Throughout the afternoon our guide will also introduce you to the wide range of street food snacks and delicacies so you can get your first authentic taste of the delicious and varied Indian cuisine. Our walking tour will also take in a rickshaw ride and the Jama Masjid mosque, one of the largest in India.
| MEALS:
DAY 3, Jaipur and a visit to Amber Fort
Today we head to Jaipur, the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Western India. We'll stop to visit Amber Fort, the jewel in Jaipur's crown – an ancient fortress built on a hilltop in the 16th century dedicated to the ruling Kachhawa clan of Amber. Be mesmerised by this majestic architectural wonder, with its pink sandstone and marble palace shining in the sun. It's massive fortress walls sprawls across the hills, with many seeing a resemblance of the Great Wall of China.
We'll also stop for a Lassi tasting at MI Road – a popular traditional yoghurt-based drink made with a blend of yoghurt, water, spices and sometimes fruit, before checking in at your accommodation for the night. A fun option this evening is to head out and watch a Bollywood movie at the Raj Mandir cinema.
Jaipur hotel
DAY 4, Exploring the city of Jaipur
You have an option of going on an early morning hot air balloon ride over Jaipur, flying over its palaces, forts and lakes – a truly mesmerising experience.
If you chose to sleep a little later, your morning starts with a sightseeing tour of Jaipur, as we visit the strange Jantar Mantar monument, a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments, built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II between 1724 and 1730. Jaipur was the first planned city of medieval India and we'll also explore its City Palace. Built by Raja Man Singh during 1729-1732 AD, the City Palace was once the seat of kings as it was from here that they ruled the region. This tangle of courtyards, manicured gardens and exceptionally crafted mahals is one of the most revered attractions in India.
After lunch, we spend the afternoon walking in the walled city to discover some of Jaipur's famous crafts markets and craftsmen in action such as jewellers, silversmiths, textile workshops and bangle makers. We'll also visit markets for vegetable, fruits and spices.
Hot air balloon in Jaipur
DAY 5, Meet the locals at Tordi Garh, optional activities available
Today we leave the region's popular tourist areas and head into the heart of rural Rajasthan to the village of Tordi. In the 16th century, Th. Akhey Singh, one of the descendants of Khangar Singh (the founder of Khangarot clan) overthrew the regional chief and built a hilltop fortress here, the ruins of which can still be seen today. The family still lives in the palace and fort built later in the plains below and we'll stay in a wing of the palace which has been converted for guests.
The afternoon sees us exploring the village, visiting a temple, school and a potter's house before interacting with the local villagers, getting invaluable insight into seeing their way of life.
You can also take some optional activities arranged by the family at the palace. These include camel cart rides to the sand dunes and a jeep safari to a 300-year old step well, a shepherd's village, local farm and sunset at the Tordi Sagar Dam or at the dunes. You can also hike to the 400-year old Tordi Fort and enjoy snacks and drinks there for sunset or sunrise. Those keen can also try some horse riding or have some henna hand art applied.
Tordi Garh hotel
Breakfast, Dinner
DAY 6, Birdwatching and the world's largest step well
Today we'll head to Bharatpur and the bird watcher's paradise that is the Keoladeo Ghana National Park. Enroute, we'll visit the Abhaneri step well, the largest and deepest step well in the world, which boasts 3500 steps and is 13 stories deep. You may recognise this as the place that Sonny tried to express his feelings for Sunaina in the recent movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Once you've checked into your accommodation for the day, we'll take a guided cycle rickshaw ride through the Keoladeo Ghana National Park. Originally a duck hunting reserve of the local Maharajas, the park is now a World Heritage Site, with over 360 species of birds recorded here. Its strategic location on the Central Asian migratory flyway makes it an internationally important site for wintering water birds, and it is especially famous for the endangered Siberian Crane and its huge heronry which in good years can host more than 20,000 nesting birds of various species. As well as the extensive birdlife, the park is home to wild boar, black buck, sambar, chital, mongoose, porcupine, several different wild cats, and some huge pythons.
Bharatpur hotel
DAY 7, Fatephur Sikri, and a first view of the Taj Mahal
We head to Agra via Fatehpur Sikri, a fortified ancient city which was the short-lived capital of the Mughal empire between 1572 and 1585. This sprawling and well-preserved site is fascinating to explore. Once you've checked in into your hotel, we'll spend the afternoon on a Mughal Heritage Walk through the ancient village of Kachhpura and surrounding farmland on the banks of the Yamuna River across from the Taj Mahal and Red Fort. This walk has been designed by a local NGO and helps support the local community through employment and new infrastructure. During the walk one of the villagers will give a guide to their village life, the layout of their homes, with living, cooking & religious areas, the farming done, and the local cottage industry for leather shoe making which helps Agra export shoes all over the world. You'll also see some lesser known but important Mughal era monuments. Finally today we'll stroll around the park at Mehtab Bagh – originally built by Emperor Babur as the last in a series of 11 parks on the Yamuna River's east bank, before taking in the magnificent sight of the Taj Mahal at sunset.
A special evening option is available today, where you can join a Hindu family for a Vegetarian Thali cooking lesson and meal.
Cook with a Hindu family in Agra
DAY 8, A Taj Mahal sunrise and a multimedia water show
We start today early for our tour of the Taj Mahal. Truly one of the wonders of the world this elaborate monument to love was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and took over twenty-two years to complete. Sunrise is a great time to visit as the light changes gradually with the colours of the Taj changing too.
After breakfast, we visit Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a huge complex with a fascinating history, being the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638 when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi.
After lunch, we'll drive to Delhi, and on arrival visit the Swaminarayan Akshardham New Delhi, a Hindu mandir and a spiritual-cultural campus, home to millennia of traditional Hindu and Indian culture and architecture. It's one of India's most popular tourist attractions, in fact, it's estimated that it draws in 70% of all visitors who explore Delhi.
We'll be mesmerized by the Sahaj Anand water show – a multimedia water exhibition, which makes use of multicoloured lasers, under-water flames, video projection, water jets combine to provide a captivating experience which tells the story of Kena Upanishad – a Vedic Sanskrit text.
Extra day in Delhi – post-tour
DAY 9, Bon voyage! Airport transfer included
You have some free time to buy any gifts for your loved ones back home before we transfer you to the airport to catch your flight back home.

Point and select
Detective / mystery, Horror
The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery is a direct sequel to Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, the first in the supernatural mystery adventure series telling the story of a bookstore owner and writer Gabriel Knight, the last offspring of generations of Schattenjaegers (shadow hunters), whose task is to fight the evil forces that abound in the world.
After leaving New Orleans, Gabriel moves to the Ritter Castle in Bavaria, Germany, his family heritage. One day, a group of peasants approach the castle, and the elder tells Gabriel about a terrible death of a little girl, who was killed by a vicious wolf. Suspecting the wolf could be a supernatural creature, the peasant asks the Schattenjaeger to purge the evil. The investigation brings Gabriel and his assistant Grace Nakimura to the mysterious Hunter Society and to Bavaria's dark past.
The game utilizes a cast of live actors and full-motion video technology: the actors are filmed over photorealistic images of Munich and its surroundings, and nearly every interaction with the environment leads to a FMV sequence. Despite its visual style, The Beast Within is not an interactive movie, but a full-fledged adventure game with many dialogues, detective work to do, and puzzles to solve. Unlike the first game, it is entirely controlled through point-and-click actions - all the icons have been replaced by a single cursor. Both Gabriel and Grace are available as playable characters during different chapters of the story.

The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
The Beast Within was originally intended to take place over the course of nine chapters instead of six. The additional three would have had the player shift into the past in order to play as King Ludwig II. These chapters were ultimately cut from the game due to time constraints, budgetary limitations, and the fact that this would have required even more CDs for a game that already requires six discs.
The game's backgrounds were created from photographs taken on location in Germany.
Most Germans in The Beast Within are played by American actors. They thus speak German with a bemusing English accent. In the completely localized German version of the game, quite a few "German" characters have a notable American accent, which is even stranger. Additionally, because Gabriel and Grace speak German in the localized version, the translators had a problem in dealing with scenes in which one of the protagonists speaks to a German and doesn't understand him. The problem was solved somewhat half-heartedly by suggesting that Gabriel and company speak High German, whereas the locals speak in a Bavarian dialect.
When the game was first released in Germany it was the un-dubbed and un-subtitled version which had a few scenes censored (for example, a character sitting in his cave and eating flesh from a human bone). The screen would go black and instead of being able to see what was happening the player would instead see a short message on the screen in German simply describing the scene. When the game was later released in its localized German these scenes were uncensored.
Though the game was greeted with excellent critical reviews in France by the time of its release, the French-dubbed version is now quite infamous for its supposed mediocrity, despite being the work of a professional dubbing team. Among the numerous recriminations against the French version, one of the most famous is that you can actually hear several times the dubbing actors making mistakes while reading and then deciding to start again without any kind of editing.
Inaccuracies
In the game's opening movie, the camera shows a close-up of a scar on Gabriel's arm (acquired in Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers). The scar is on the wrong arm.
There is no sign of the chapel in Schloss Ritter that featured so prominently in Sins of the Fathers.
When Grace browses the part of the Schattenjäger library that is supposed to contain books on the occult, she finds a book on Lycantrophy between volumes with such German titles as Das Nest and Der Arzt von Stalingrad. These are novels without any relation to occultism.
On looking at a window display of watches in Munich, Gabriel claims that he can't stand wearing things on his wrist. In a later scene, a watch is clearly visible on his arm.
German Volkswagen Golf keys have a standardized look. The car key that Gabriel carries around in his inventory will unlock anything except the Golf he drives. His car also has no license plate.
Even though Grace doesn't speak German, she has no problem reading loudly from Cosima Wagner's diary, which was most likely not written in English.
In the book Lore and Law it is said that in Brazil there's a priesthood society called "Manos Del Sol" (Hands of the Sun). But the language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese, and "Manos Del Sol" is in Spanish. The correct name would be "Homens do Sol", as is seen in Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned, when Gabriel researches the same subject on SIDNEY, the computer database of shadow hunter data.
Kay Kuter (Werner Huber) seems to enjoy playing the role of a bartender; he also plays one (Griswold Goodsoup) in The Curse of Monkey Island.
Jane Jensen, the series' designer, has written a novelization of this game as well as one of the first game (Sins of the Fathers).

Experts in adolescent substance problems have identified a common progression of alcohol- and drug-related behaviors that moves from bad to worse. While it is not a foregone conclusion that everyone who experiments with drugs will progress to the worst stages of involvement, a child can incur a lot of damage before parents or others notice that something is wrong. Secretive adolescent behavior and skillful lying, combined with parental denial ("No one in our family could have a drug problem!"), may delay identification of the problem. While paranoia and daily inquisitions around the breakfast table are counterproductive, wise parents will keep their eyes and ears open and promptly take action if they see any signs that a problem may be developing.
Use is occasional, sporadic, often unplanned — weekends, summer nights, unsupervised parties.
Use is precipitated by peer pressure, curiosity, thrill-seeking, desire to look and feel grown-up.

This descent into drug hell is a nightmare that no parent envisions while rocking a newborn baby or escorting an eager 5-year-old to kindergarten. But it can happen in any neighborhood, any church, any family, even when parents have provided a stable and loving home environment. In fact, it is often in such homes that a drug problem goes undetected until it's reached an advanced and dangerous stage. This can't be happening; not in my house! But if it does, parental guilt, anger and depression can undermine the responses necessary to restore order.
