What are the key aspects for the riders in terms of adapting to the tyre and ECU changes?
I think it's a very important to go safe and step-by-step, because basically these guys are used to such defined and prepared material, let's say, and suddenly they get something new that they don't know but they have to push on the limit. Then you get what you seen, where basically everybody on their nose.
He took a lot of care. The other difficulty for these guys is that as we saw during the season - during the season every time Jorge put the Michelin on, he was on the floor, but that was always after a period of using Bridgestones and then the very next day with the Michelins. You think that you can ride the same as with the Bridgestone.
We found out quickly it doesn't work like that, not only for Jorge but also basically for all the riders. So it was clear that we had to react and proceed in a different way and this is what we did.
First of all, after the race there was one day with no testing so that the riders could clear their head from the 'Bridgestone rhythm' and also we directly adjusted the bike setup more to the Michelin tyres. Which we did not do until now. It was always just 'take the Bridgestone tyres out and put the Michelin in', to give Michelin feedback for the tyres.
Also, both riders were in a championship battle and it is difficult to just throw everything overboard and try some other things for next year. We were not really interested in [the 2016 tyres] at that time. Now we are. Okay the risk is, are you running behind? At a certain point I think we did because we missed some [Michelin] tests and the riders were a little bit scared to try them because they were thinking about this year's championship.
So I think that in our case, for the new tyres, it was a little bit of a disadvantage that we were challenging for the championship. The other manufacturers could think 'we don't care, we'll just try whatever we want'.
Aside from the new tyres, the most obvious visual change for the 2016 Yamaha is the fuel tank being moved behind the rider. Is that because the grip balance has shifted to the back with the Michelins, compared to the Bridgestones?
No. It's a different grip balance, but we also have two litres more fuel for next year so we need to create volume. Find more room. It's not completely fixed if we will use this set-up yet [with the tank filler at the rear].
We know we have two litres more fuel to put somewhere so this idea was created and we are trying it. Basically we can go everywhere [with the extra fuel] but you cannot go a lot more forward because you have the airbox. And if you make the airbox smaller you know what will happen! That would be a problem.
Does this tank design also give you more set-up options to try?
Is Jorge an adaptable rider, how well does he deal with the kind of major bike changes that are taking place?
Actually he's quite good in that, because he is able to ride any kind of set-up very fast. So even when his bikes are completely different he has a very good pace with both. But on the other side he felt the tyre limit very well with the Bridgestones. He knew the limit.
But with the Michelin he needs to learn where the limit is because the problem is it doesn't give as much warning. This is for everybody at the moment. That is why you see the crashes. They are not patient enough.
Where is the 'danger area' with the Michelins at the moment - when does the rider need to be most careful and recalibrate their minds?
Well not during acceleration when the bike is straight up, this is quite clear! But it also depends on what setup you have. So some are struggling during braking, the front is already locking. Others they are mid-corner, they lose the front as they open the throttle. So it is [not only the tyre] but also the engine behaviour and the riding style.
Dani for example brakes hard in a straight line, turns shortly and then picks up the bike quickly. This is his style and it is quite suitable also for the Michelin, because you are not leaning so long on the side and you don't ask a lot of the front. Jorge, Marc and Vale struggle a bit more I guess because they brake hard but also deep. This is what they used to do with the Bridgestone and they have to skip that a little bit out of their mind. And this is difficult!
What have been the first impressions of the ECU?
Well there is a lot of work to do there.
I would say after the second day we caught up about three or four years! It's true that we need to work on that a lot and of course these bikes - from Honda and Yamaha - were very finely tuned in this area: Wheelie control, traction control, engine braking, all these matters.
Now they've changed suddenly, to a system that has never been tested before. So it was not strange that they felt lost on the first day. 'Whoa, whoa, what's happened?' But as soon as they can read the data, they can see what is going wrong and now it is a question of adjusting everything.
Yeah. I think that's also for us. I can't give a specific answer because I have not been on the bike but from what I hear from Jorge it [the ECU] is controlling a lot and not in the right way.
Do you think the changes will help improve the racing next year?
Well as long as I can see that the top guy is only one second quicker than the guy in 15th. We probably slowed down half a second or more and the other guys less, especially the Ducati guys because we don't know what they are using at the moment so that is another question. Also Suzuki is very fast, but we don't know what software they were using. I think if you look at the timesheets they are very close, so it is very difficult to say who has an advantage or disadvantage at the moment because it is very tight.
Do you think there could be more small mistakes and so it might be more difficult to be consistent with the lap times?
It's too early to say, to be honest.
Last question Wilco. When Jorge does his practice starts, normally they are really bad. But in the races they are perfect. Is he deliberately 'rough' during the practice starts to gather data in order to optimise everything for the real start? What is going on!
Yeah, you know Jorge is quite special in that area because he risks everything to make the wrong start in practice, so that it's quite 'bullet-proof' to make a good start in the race.
For example he lets the clutch out too quickly so he can reduce the performance to what he needs for the race. He goes too far, so he can learn and bring it back. Then he is much safer when he does the real start.
Yes. He tries to make good starts in practice, but he also does everything to make the bike wheelie or spin or whatever so that we can try to find the best way to set it up for the race start.
But it is difficult. Many times he complains in practice and I say 'yes, but you were on the dirty part of the track! We should not set-up too much for the dirty side'. Anyway, we get it right for the race.
Thanks Wilco. Congratulations and have a good winter.

Medan Independent School has just finished our combined WASC/IB visit. I would like to congratulate my colleagues for a job well done and thank the Dunia members who participated in the visits. It was lovely to feel apart of the greater Indonesian IB community.
It is not always easy to show visiting bodies evidence of the learner profile, attitudes, communication and student work, however there was one tool that stood out above the rest: ClassDojo.
This app and website are so integrated into the classrooms at MIS that ClassDojo came up in every accreditation meeting had over this week. ClassDojo is used for 1:1 parent communication, school wide information dissemination, specialist class collaboration, as well as student portfolios, learner profile tracking and behavior management all in one. I am proud to have been the ClassDojo Mentor for our school for the past year and a half and was amazed to see how many times it was mentioned in the accreditation meetings by students, staff and parents.
If you are looking for a great resource for all the aforementioned assets to your classroom look no further. https://www.classdojo.com/ is a place you can go for that. The parents enjoy their own private Facebook like feed to help them feel connected to their child during the day. Class dojo also has a series of videos on: The Growth Mindset, Perseverance and Empathy. All of these resources are completely free and I am serious that they helped in our IB and WASC accreditation visits exponentially. If you have any questions about Class Dojo or are having difficulty setting it up at your school please email me.

In the How We Organize Ourselves unit, Year 3 students in Sekolah Cikal learn how the connection between supply and demand creates space for economic activities. At the beginning of the unit, students explored the difference between wants and needs, and identified them by cutting and pasting some pictures from old magazines.
As the unit goes, students learned that money plays an important part in economic activities. People use money to pay for the things that they need. One way that most people get money is by earning it. Therefore, the students did some experiential learning by having a proper two-hours job during the weekend, in their family or relatives' business. In this project, they earned some amount of money based on the prior agreement between the school, students, parents, and other parties involved. Through this activity, the students learned to recognize work as a means for earning money, to be responsible for the work that they do, and learned to manage the money that they have earned.
The Y3 experiential learning project received positive feed backs from parents. Parents praised that their children have better responsibility towards money, now that the children know what it takes to earn money on their own.
After the students do the experiential learning, it's time to decide what they are going to do with the money. In our culture, money is one of the resources that we can save, spend, or donate. The students have their choices, and they decided to spend some of their salary as business capital. They will learn to be producers and sell their products on Y3 Market Day at Sekolah Cikal. The money raised in this Market Day will be donated to an elderly home in East Jakarta.
As the first step of being a producer, the students conduct a market survey around the school's community. The purpose of this survey is to know what goods or services that they will sell based on the market's interest, to know how much price should be given for their products, and to know what materials or colours that the customers prefer.
Students are then divided into groups, based on their interests and skills. Those who like to cook will be chefs, and produce some food and beverages. While other students who love arts will decorate some stationery and create their own accessories. There were also some other students who decided to provide services in games, karaoke or photo booth for the customers.
To help students practice their skills as producers, we invited a guest speaker and conducted some workshops. The guest speaker taught them how to run business from home. The students also had a chance to learn to paint some decorative cans. Later, these cans will be given to the elderly community as a bucket to keep their personal toiletries.
Aside from the guest speaker, students then had some workshops to learn how to produce their own food, beverages, accessories or stationery that they will sell during Y3 Market Day.
In the above pictures, teachers showed the students how to make spaghetti, egg sandwich, banana pancakes and strawberry milkshake.
Students who love arts worked to produce their own necklaces, headband, hair tie, or decorated some notebooks with guidance from the teachers.
During the workshop, the students took notes on the ingredients or materials needed, the steps of making the product, and also the price for the ingredients or materials. Knowing the price for all the ingredients or materials is an important step for them to decide the price of their products later on. They learn that they have to set a higher price for their products in order to earn some profits from the business.
Now, it's time to promote the products! Y3 students visited some classes to promote the upcoming event Y3 Market Day. They informed other students and teachers about the types of products or services that they will sell and also the price range for each product. They also informed that the money raised in this event will be used to buy some goods and toiletries needed by an elderly home in Jakarta.
A day or two days before the event, the students divided some responsibilities among themselves, such as, who will be the cashier, who will be the chef, or who will be the marketing to invite buyers to visit their booths and buy their products. Also, they decided on who will bring stove, frying pan, pot, or other kitchen utensils, as well as the tablecloth and tray to display the products.
Finally, the D day! Y3 Market Day started at 9 o'clock. So, from 7.30 in the morning, the students have gathered in the 'production room' where the class has been set up as a kitchen to produce the food and beverages. The students started preparing their products. Some of them blended the milk, ice cream, and strawberries to make milkshake and poured it into plastic cups. Some others helped to wash the tomatoes needed to make spaghetti sauce, while other students grated some cheese for the burritos filling. They also put the egg, tomatoes, and cheese in between sliced of bread to make some sandwiches.
Outside the production room, people have gathered around their booths. Some eager customers are waiting to be served. Students, teachers, and parents bought the food and beverages, stationery, and accessories from Y3 students. The students who acted as cashier took payment from the customers and gave change money when needed. Other students who acted as marketing invite buyers to buy the products in their booth, they even gave discount for the customers who bought more than one item. All of the goods are sold out in less than an hour, woohoo!!
There were also some students who provide a photo booth for the customers who would like to take pictures with friends, by using the properties that the students have prepared earlier. Soon after the picture taking, the customers then received the photo that was taken by a polaroid camera. This booth was one of the most successful and famous booth during Market Day, and they earned the most money. Good job, boys!
All in all, this unit gave many new and valuable experiences for the students. They were so happy to be able to learn about economic activities in a fun and rewarding way as producers and sellers. They also developed the concept of earning money, buying, selling, promoting, and adjusting price related to supply and demand. In addition, the students learned how to organise their money by spending, saving, or donating for the ones in need.
This will always be the unit we all look forward to.

La cinemàtica estel·lar és l'estudi del moviment dels estels sense tenir en compte com l'han adquirit. En aquest punt difereix de la dinàmica estel·lar que té en compte els efectes gravitacionals.

En astronomia, està àmpliament acceptat el fet que la majoria dels estels neixen dins de núvols moleculars. Els estels formats en aquests núvols formen cúmuls oberts que contenen milers de membres. Aquests cúmuls es dissocien amb el temps. Els estels que se separen del centre del cúmul es designen com a membres de l'associació estel·lar del cúmul. Si continuen la seva deriva a través de la galàxia com un grup poc coherent, llavors s'anomenen grups mòbils.
El moviment d'un estel en relació al Sol proporciona informació sobre l'origen i l'edat de l'estel, així com sobre l'estructura i l'evolució de la galàxia que l'envolta.

Velocitat espacial
El component del moviment estel·lar en direcció al Sol o en direcció contrària s'anomena velocitat radial, i es pot mesurar per la variació de l'espectre causat per l'efecte Doppler. El moviment propi es pot aconseguir prenent una de determinacions posicionals en relació a un objecte més distant. Es pot calcular la velocitat espacial, un cop la distància a l'estel està determinada a través de mitjans astromètrics com la paral·laxi. Aquest és el moviment de l'estrella respecte del Sol o el Sistema de repòs local (LSR en les sigles en anglès). Aquest darrer s'agafa normalment com una posició del Sol en la ubicació actual que segueix una òrbita circular al voltant del centre galàctic a la velocitat mitjana d'aquells estels propers amb una baixa velocitat de dispersió. El moviment del Sol respecte del sistema de repòs local s'anomena moviment solar peculiar.

Els components de la velocitat espacial en el sistema de coordenades galàctiques de la Via Làctia es designen normalment U, V, i W, en km/s, amb U positiva en la direcció del centre galàctic, V positiva en la direcció de la rotació galàctica, i W positiva en la direcció del pol nord galàctic. El moviment peculiar del Sol respecte del sistema de repòs local LSR és (U, V, W) = (10.00 ± 0.36, 5.23 ± 0.62, 7.17 ± 0.38) km/s.

Els estels de la Via Làctia es poden subdividir en dues poblacions generals, basant-se en al metal·licitat, o la proporció d'elements amb nombre atòmic més gran que l'heli. Entre els estels propers, s'ha trobat que els estels de població I amb major metal·licitat tenen normalment velocitats més baixes que els estels de població II més vells. Aquests darrers tenen òrbites el·líptiques inclinades al pla de la galàxia. La comparació de la cinemàtica d'estels propers ha permès la identificació d'associacions estel·lars. Hi ha probablement grups d'estels que comparteixen un punt d'origen comú en un núvol molecular gegant.

A la Via Làctia, hi ha tres components primaris de la cinemàtica estel·lar: el disc, l'halo i el bony o barra. Aquest grups cinemàtics estan estretament relacionats amb les poblacions estel·lars de la galàxia, formant una forta correlació entre el moviment i la composició química, indicant diferents mecanismes de formació. L'halo es pot subdividir en un halo intern, amb un moviment prògrad de rotació respecte de la galàxia i un d'extern, de moviment retrògrad.

Estels d'alta velocitat
Depenent de la definició, un estel d'alta velocitat és un estel que es mou més ràpid de 65 km/s a 100 km/s respecte del moviment mitjà de les estrelles del veïnatge solar. La velocitat es defineix a vegades com a velocitat supersònica respecte del medi interestel·lar circumdant. Els tres tipus d'estels d'alta velocitat són: estels fugitius, estels halo i estels d'hipervelocitat.

Estels fugitius

Un estel fugitiu és un estel que es mou a través de l'espai a una velocitat anormalment alta respecte del medi interestel·lar circumdant. El moviment propi d'un estel fugitiu apunta sovint a una associació estel·lar a la qual pertanyia inicialment i de la que fou expulsat.

Hi ha dos possibles mecanismes que poden produir un estel fugitiu:

 Una possible causa seria un encontre proper entre dos sistemes binaris resultant en una disrupció dels dos sistemes, i com a conseqüència els estels són expulsats a grans velocitats.
 Una altra possibilitat seria una explosió de supernova en un sistema d'estrelles múltiple que faria que la resta de components fossin expolsats a grans velocitats.
Encara que tots dos mecanismes són teòricament possibles, els astrònoms es decanten més per la hipòtesi de la supernova.

Un exemple d'un conjunt d'estels fugitius relacionats és el cas d'AE Aurigae, 53 Arietis i Mu Columbae, on totes elles es mouen allunyant-se entre elles a velocitats superiors als 100 km/s (en comparació, el Sol es mou a través de la galàxia a uns 20 km/s més ràpid que la mitjana local. Traçant els seus moviments en el temps, els seus camins confluirien en la nebulosa d'Orió fa uns dos milions d'anys. Es creu que el bucle de Barnard és un romanent d'una supernova que expulsà els altres estels.

Un altre exemple és l'objecte de raigs X Vela X-1, on mitjançant tècniques de fotografia digital s'ha vist la presència d'una hipèrbole d'un xoc en arc supersònic típic.

Estels de l'halo galàctic

Els estels d'alta velocitat són estels molt vells que no comparteixen el moviment del Sol o el de la majoria dels altres estels del veïnatge solar que estan en òrbites circulars similars al voltant del centre galàctic. Al contrari, viatgen en òrbites el·líptiques, que sovint els porta fora del pla de la galàxia. Encara que la seva velocitat orbital en la galàxia pot no ser més ràpida que la del Sol, els seus camins diferents resulten en velocitats relatives grans respecte al Sol o al sistema de repòs local.

Exemples típics són els estels de l'halo que passen a través del disc de la galàxia a angles molt inclinats. Un dels 45 estels més propers, l'anomenat Estel de Kapteyn, és un exemple d'estel d'alta velocitat que es troba prop del Sol. La seva velocitat radial és de -245 km/s, i els components de la seva velocitat espacial són U = 19 km/s, V = -288 km/s, i W = -52 km/s.

Estels hiperveloços
Els estels hiperveloços (HVS en les sigles en anglès), també anomenats, Estels exiliats, són estels amb una velocitat tan gran que són capaços d'escapar de l'atracció gravitacional de la galàxia. Els estels normals tenen velocitats de l'ordre dels 100 km/s, mentre que els estels hiperveloços (especialment els propers al centre de la galàxia, que és on es pensa que es produeixen), tenen velocitats de l'ordre dels 1000 km/s.

L'existència d'estels hiperveloços fou predita per J. Hills el 1988. El primer estel hiperveloç fou descobert el 2005 per Warren Brown i els seus col·laboradors del Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Actualment, se'n coneixen setze, un dels quals es creu que s'originà al Gran Núvol de Magalhães en comptes de a la Via Làctia. Tots els estels hiperveloços coneguts actualment estan al voltant dels 50.000 parsecs i no estan lligats a la galàxia.

Es pensa que existeixen uns 1.000 estels hiperveloços a la nostra galàxia. Considerant que hi ha uns 100.000 milions d'estels a la Via Làctia, aquests estels representarien l'0.000001% dels estels.

Es creu que s'originen en encontres d'estels binaris amb forats negres supermassius al centre de la Via Làctia. El forat negre capturaria un dels companys de la parella, mentre que l'altre escaparia a gran velocitat. Cal remarcar que capturar no vol dir necessàriament engolit, ja que probablement el company de l'estel hiperveloç no caurà al forat negre.

Els estels hiperveloços són estels de la seqüència principal amb masses unes poques vegades la massa del Sol.

Un equip de l'Observatori Astronòmic de Córdoba a l'Argentina creu que els nostres estels hiperveloços són el resultat d'una fusió amb una col·lisió entre la Via Làctia, i una galàxia nana orbitant. Una galàxia nana que hauria estat orbitant la Via Làctia, passà pel centre de la Via Làctia. Quan aquesta galàxia nana feu la seva aproximació al centre de la Via Làctia, patí una intensa atracció gravitacional, aquesta incrementà l'energia d'alguns estels tant que trencaren els lligams amb la galàxia nana i foren expulsats a l'espai.

Alguns dels estels de neutrons s'infereix que viatgen amb velocitats similars, no obstant no estarien relacionats ni amb els estels hiperveloços ni amb els mecanismes d'ejecció d'estels hiperveloços. Els estels de neutrons són romanents d'explosions de supernova i les seves velocitats extremes és probable que siguin el resultat d'una explosió de supernova asimètrica. L'estel de neutrons RX J0822-4300, que es movia a la velocitat rècord de 1500 km/s (0,5% c) el 2007 segons els mesuraments realitzats per l'Observatori de raigs X Chandra, es pensa que es produí d'aquesta manera.

Grups cinemàtics
Un grup cinemàtic és un conjunt d'estels d'edat i moviment espacial similar. Es tracta d'estels que podrien compartir un origen comú, com l'evaporació d'un cúmul obert, el romanent d'una regió de formació estel·lar, o grups d'esclats de formació estel·lar superposats en diferents períodes en regions adjacents. La majoria d'estels neixen dins de núvols moleculars. Els estels que es formen dins aquests núvols componen cúmuls oberts lligats gravitacionalment i contenen milers de membres amb edats i composicions similars. Aquests cúmuls es dissocien amb el temps. Grups d'estels joves que escapen d'un cúmul, o no deixen d'estar lligades entre elles, formen les associacions estel·lars. Amb el pas del temps aquests estels es dispersen i la seva associació ja no és tan aparent transformant-se en grups d'estels en moviment.

Els astrònoms poden determinar si els estels són membres d'un grup cinemàtic quan comparteixen la mateixa edat, metal·licitat, i cinemàtica (velocitat radial i moviment propi).

Associacions estel·lars

Una associació estel·lar és un cúmul d'estels molt separat; els seus estels comparteixen un origen comú, però han esdevingut gravitacionalment deslligades però encara es mouen juntes a través de l'espai. Les associacions s'identifiquen primerament per les seves edats i els seus vectors de moviment comuns. La identificació per mitjà de la composició química també s'usa com a factor per indicar la pertinença a una associació.

Les associacions estel·lars foren descobertes per primera vegada per l'astrònom armeni Víktor Ambartsumian el 1947. La nomenclatura convencional d'una associació utilitza el nom o l'abreviació de la constel·lació (o constel·lacions) en la que es troba; el tipus d'associació i, a vegades, un nombre identificatiu.

Tipus
Víktor Ambartsumian fou el primer a categoritzar les associacions estel·lars en dos grups, OB i T, basant-se en les propietats dels estels. Una tercera categoria, R, fou suggerida posteriorment per Sidney van den Bergh per a les associacions que il·luminaven les nebuloses de reflexió. Les associacions OB, T, i R formen un continu d'agrupacions estel·lars joves. Però no és clar si són una seqüència en evolució o representen algun altre factor. Alguns grups també presenten propietats dels dos grups OB i T per això la seva categorització no és del tot definitiva.

Associacions OB
 Les associacions OB són associacions joves que contenen de 10–100 estels massius de classificació estel·lar O i B. Es pensen que es formen dins el mateix petit volum dins d'un núvol molecular gegant. Un cop el gas i la pols que els envolta desapareix, els estels romanents es deslliguen i comencen a separar-se. Es pensa que la majoria dels estels de la Via Làctia es formaren associacions OB. els estels classe O són de vida curta i moriran com a supernoves al cap d'aproximadament un milió d'anys. Per tant, les associacions OB tindran una vida aproximada d'un milió d'anys o menys. Els estels O-B de l'associació cremaran tot el seu combustible ente 10 milions d'anys, en comparació l'edat actual del Sol és d'aproximadament 5.000 milions d'anys.) El satèl·lit Hipparcos ha proporcionat mesures que han localitzat una dotzena d'associacions OB a 650 parsec del Sol. L'associació OB més propera és l'associació Escorpí-Centaure, situada a 400 anys llum del Sol. S'han trobat associacions OB en el Gran Núvol de Magalhaes i en la Gran galàxia d'Andròmeda. Aquestes associacions són disperses en diàmetres de 1.500 anys llum.

Associacions T
 Les associacions T  són associacions disperses de fins a un miler d'estels T Tauri infants que encara es troben en procés d'entrar en la seqüència principal, presenten la mateixa edat, origen i composició química i tenen la mateixa amplitud en direcció al seu vector de velocitat. L'exemple més proper és lassociació T Taurus-Auriga (Tau-Aur T association), situada a una distància de 140 parsecs del Sol. Altres exemples d'associacions T són lassociació T R Corona Australis, lassociació T Lupus, Lassociació T Chamaeleon i lassociació T Velorum. Les associacions T es troben sovint en les proximitats dels núvols moleculars que les formaren, però no totes, inclouen estels de classe O-B.

 Associacions R
 Les associacions R són associacions d'estels que il·luminen nebuloses de reflexió, aquest nom fou suggerit per Sidney van den Bergh després de descobrir que els estels d'aquestes nebuloses tenen una distribució no uniforme. Aquests agrupaments estel·lars joves contenen estels de la seqüència principal que no són prou massius per a dispersar el núvol molecular que els ha format. Això permet que es puguin examinar les propietats dels núvols foscos que l'envolten. Com les associacions R són més abundants que les associacions OB poden usar-se per conèixer l'estructura de braços espirals galàctics.

 Grups en moviment
Si les restes d'una associació estel·lar es desplacen a través de la galàxia com un conjunt coherent, s'anomenen grups en moviment. Aquests grups poden ser vells, com el grup en moviment HR 1614 de 2.000 milions d'anys, o joves com el grup en moviment AB Doradus de tan sols 50 milions.

Els grups en moviment foren estudiats per Olin J. Eggen als anys seixanta López-Santiago i els seus col·laboradors han compilat una llista dels grups en moviment joves més propers. El grup en moviment més proper és el grup en moviment Ursa Major'' que inclou la majoria dels estels de l'asterisme del Carro Gran a 60° N, però amb alguns allunyats fins al Triangle Austral a 70° S.

 Corrents estel·lars
Un corrent estel·lar''' és una associació d'estels que orbiten una galàxia que havia estat un cúmul globular o galàxia nana i que ara ha estat esquinçada i s'estén al llarg de la seva òrbita per forces de marea.

Something has left its lair.
It's out there stalking her.

Showing the Power of Friendship through Documentaries
Documentary films are amazing tools for showcasing the beauty of friendship. From powerful stories of camaraderie in the face of hardship, to the complexities that come with maintaining a close bond, documentaries let us peek into someone else's world and gain insight and perspective on our own relationships. Let's take a look at why documentaries about friendship can be so powerful.
The Impact of A Good Story
Documentaries about friends also have an impact on our emotions. When we watch people who have been through difficult times together, we can begin to understand what it means to stick by your best friend even when times are tough—it creates hope for better days ahead for both you and your friends. We can feel inspired by those who have overcome adversity together or just be moved by those who take joy in simple things like eating lunch together or playing board games in their living room.
Friendship Beyond Media Representations
The way that friendships are portrayed in popular culture isn't always reflective of reality. Documentaries celebrate real-life stories from real people—stories that may not have been seen otherwise. These films put faces (and names) to those whose experiences aren't typically highlighted by mainstream media, giving us a better understanding of the complexities and nuances associated with developing meaningful friendships with people from all walks of life—and helping us appreciate how unique and special our own friendships are as well.
Which documentaries about friendship can I watch online right now?
What Remains Is Mermanat
Hypertable
A Band Called Death
Tiny Bird
The Boys of Baraka
Cutie & The Boxer
The Work of Days
High up in the mountains of Turkey, the only two children in a small village foster a close relationship with a 82-year old neighbour, Nokta, while their mother cuts tea in the close fields. Seasons pass, but when the children's father returns to the village with plans to move his family, Nokta's future is called into question. What Remains is Mermanat presents a visually outstanding portrait of a cross generational friendship and a fading way of life. It's an ode to simplicity without exclamation marks and brings in front of our eyes a Turkish reality that is rarely reported.
This Academy Award-nominated film tells the story of three men—the first an American sailor, and the other two British yachtsmen—who set out on a record-breaking journey across the Atlantic Ocean in 1968. Despite their differences in nationality, age and background, they form an unbreakable bond which is tested time and time again as they persevere through treacherous storms, physical exhaustion and mental anguish.
A naked woman running through her house chased by a camera, a cord that joins two young girls stuck in the spot on the skin where the heart is located, the tattoos of two male friends who have inked several parts of their bodies just to have the story of their lives written on their flesh. Shot with the immature brushwork of a 8mm camera and spoken in several languages, this small film is composed of fragments like the ones we have described above. This linguistic variety is not coincidence, especially when it comes to finding the concise words that explain the phenomenon of friendship, which, as someone in the movie suspects, is close to being a force of construction and destruction, very close to love.
In 1971 Detroit, three brothers formed a punk band called Death. Unfortunately for them, punk was not yet popular and their music went largely unrecognized until recently when it was rediscovered by some musicians who were inspired by their sound. This documentary follows their journey as they try to make sense of what could have been had their music been noticed earlier. It's an inspiring story about friendship between brothers and how perseverance can lead to success against all odds.
The director, Dane Kolmjen, presents us with the following story about this stunning film: "In the flat where I grew up, in a closet, hidden just behind his clothes, uniform and a pistol, my father kept a box with school documents, papers and volumes. After he died, I searched that box. In his student report book I found a name of professor who lectured 'The basics of Marxist sociology' in 1976. I went to the professor and asked him: 'What is friendship?'. 'A tiny bird', he said".
This documentary follows four boys from inner-city Baltimore who have been chosen to attend the Baraka School in Kenya for two years in hopes that the experience will give them a better chance at success than if they had stayed in Baltimore. The film explores how strong relationships form between these four boys despite their differences in cultural backgrounds and socio-economic statuses. It's a touching story about how true friendship transcends all boundaries.
This documentary follows Ushio Shinohara, a legendary artist known for his boxing painting technique, and his wife Noriko Shinohara over 40 years of marriage as they struggle with balancing art with family life while trying to stay afloat financially in New York City's competitive art scene. As Ushio continues to pursue his career as an artist while Noriko takes up her own artistic pursuits, we get an intimate look into the couple's poignant relationship as both friends and partners through thick and thin.
Three artists - François-Xavier Marange, Louis-Pierre Bougie, and Denis Saint-Pierre - share a studio for over thirty years when suddenly the illness and the death of one of them leads to a meditation about work and time passing. A film about friendship and those we love, about the legacy we leave behind and what we take with us at the end. A film about time that makes us what we are. A film both about life and about death – that shows us life.
You Have a Friend in Me!
Documentaries about friendship touch upon universal truths that everyone can relate to regardless of age, race, gender, or background. They remind us that while our friendships will go through ups and downs just like any other relationship, they are worth fighting for as long as both parties are willing to put in the work. These stories give us hope that no matter how hard life gets, there will always be someone there willing to walk alongside us through thick and thin—which is one of the greatest gifts any person can receive. So next time you need something to watch on Guidedoc, consider making it a documentary about friendship! You won't regret it!

Book We Never Talk about My Brother [MP3 AUDIO] by Peter S. Beagle Fully free!
Modern parables of love, death, and transformation are peppered with melancholy in this extraordinary collection of contemporary fantasy. Each short story cultivates a whimsical sense of imagination and reveals a mature, darker voice than previously experienced from this legendary author.
In one tale the Angel of Death enjoys newfound celebrity while moonlighting as an anchorman on the network news, while in another the shortsighted ruler of a gentle realm betrays himself in dreaming of a "manageable war." Further storylines include an American librarian who discovers that, much to his surprise and sadness, he is the last living Frenchman, and rivals in a supernatural battle who decide to forgo pistols at dawn, choosing instead to duel with dramatic recitations of terrible poetry.
Featuring several previously unpublished stories alongside a bevy of recently released works, this haunting compilation is appealing to both genre readers and mainstream literature lovers.
Includes "By Moonlight," Locus Award-winner for Best Novelette.


When you are charged with a crime, it is a stressful experience. The first step you should take is to consult with an attorney, whether you committed the crime or not.
When you hire an attorney, he will protect your rights. He will offer sound advice, and you will have all the information you need to avoid mistakes that could harm your case.
If you did not do what you are accused of, an experienced attorney is your best chance for acquittal. Your lawyer may even be able to get the charges dropped without going to court. If a trial is necessary, though, your lawyer will present the best defense so you can win your case.
A criminal defense lawyer does not only defend innocent persons. If you are guilty of the charges, you want Christopher T. Hersem, criminal defense attorney on your side. He can help the law work in your favor.
Depending on the circumstances, you may be found not guilty of the crime. You can be exonerated of the charges, and enjoy freedom in your everyday life. When this is not possible, expert representation can mean a lesser sentence than if you did not have a lawyer.
Serious crimes carry severe penalties. Depending on the crime you are charged with, this may mean a long period of incarceration, significant fines, or various other penalties. Your lawyer may be able to get the initial charges reduced, or present other relevant evidence so the penalties are not so severe.
When it comes to criminal charges, there is really no such thing as a minor crime. Even a misdemeanor can result in unexpected penalties that can impact your life. You should not make the mistake of thinking you do not need a lawyer if you are innocent, or that all hope is lost if you are guilty.
Instead, think of how the charges can affect your future. You do not want to be found guilty of something you did not do, and you do not want to face a long prison sentence even if you committed the crime.
From your first consultation, your lawyer is ready to help. You will have solid advice and representation every step of the way. When you have one of the best lawyers working for you, you can have more confidence about your future.

Q: Need to open a browser and launch a URL and extract some values from the URL Initially I tried to get the source of the URL and and extract the values which I was looking for the URL as given below
Dim URL = http://www.google.com
Dim oHTTP : Set oHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
  oHTTP.setproxy 2,"<Proxy server:Port>"
  oHTTP.Open "GET", URL, False
  oHTTP.Send

And since the values which I am looking in the URL are proxy specific. And the values vary based the proxy server name which give explicitily as mentioned the above snippet.
I realised that giving proxy server name explicitlly is not the right approach since PAC file are used. Giving the proxy name only lists down the servers under that name.
So I thought opening a URL from browser such that it takes the PAC details in account and then draw out the neccessry values from there.
And opening a URL from the default browser is achieved as given below, I wanted to know is there a way extract the values from the browser.
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("http://www.google.com")

You are here: Home / BLOG / What Makes a Great Chef?
There are numerous traits that make every chef unique, but some of the best chefs and culinary experts in the world will share similar qualities. The title of "chef" holds an honor that is achieved by spending countless hours of learning, honing and refining cooking skills day in and day out. The main thing that differentiates a chef from a cook is that a chef typically runs the kitchen and the menu at all times. A chef is the ultimate boss in the kitchen and sets the tone and mood. While not all chefs will have the same personality, and some may be bolder than others, you will find that the greatest of the great share specific characteristics that contribute to their success.
Whether you are an inspiring culinary enthusiast, or you're looking to hire an incredible chef for your next event, do you know what to look for?
Being a chef is more than just a desire to cook and create – it's a commitment to the kitchen staff, to the success and growth of the restaurant or business and a commitment to continue to be the best they can be. A committed chef is more than just a creative cook, it's someone who is also business savvy, who is committed to continuously learning, challenging their skills and techniques and earning the respect of their team.
A great chef is also a great leader. It takes a lot to build a thriving business, and it's important to have a supportive team that is also dedicated to the goals and vision of the business. A true chef is a team builder with outstanding communication skills who delegates, inspires and mentors his or her staff.
Cooking is the perfect blend of art and science. There are certain skills and techniques that need to be learned and perfected, but these are the tools that a great chef will use to create culinary masterpieces to impress even the most critical dinner guest. The best part about working in a kitchen is coming up with new ideas and taking risks – a great chef is always willing to be creative and try something new. Creativity is important because it inspires different flavor combinations as well as presentation, which is essential to any dining experience. When a chef is passionate and creative, and when they challenge themselves they will truly come up with culinary greatness.
The food and beverage industry is a fast paced business, so it's important for a great chef to be a quick-thinker who can make good decisions as they go. It's not uncommon for a tricky situation to arise, which is when it is most important for a chef's intuition to kick in and lead their team to success.
A good chef will have had a good mentor, and a great chef will serve as an outstanding mentor to their staff. A great chef will be eager to pass down their knowledge to aspiring cooks and will enthusiastically educate their team. There have been many line cooks who have gone on to become executive chefs and award-winning Michelin-star chefs who at one point or another had a great chef as their mentor.
Cooking can be an intricate process that includes measuring out the necessary ingredients and mixing them together to create a flavorful and extraordinary culinary masterpiece. If a chef leaves a piece of steak to cook for a minute too long, forgets a garnish or puts too much dressing on an otherwise perfect salad, it can ruin a perfect meal. There are many details that a chef needs to pay attention to during the cooking process in order to achieve a perfect meal.
In a busy kitchen, it's important for a great chef to be able to maintain control of the environment while also handling a myriad of tasks related to preparing a meal. All at once, a chef may be cutting up vegetables, sautéing chicken, grabbing additional ingredients and also making sure that everything else is running smoothly. A great chef will remain calm under pressure while navigating multiple tasks and also managing the rest of the kitchen staff.
There is no set definition of what makes the perfect chef, but ultimately it takes a balance of skills, qualities and characteristics to be a great chef in today's culinary industry. If you're looking for extraordinary catering for your next event, check out our team to learn more about us. Our entire team is not only passionate about food, but we love seeing our clients fully enjoy their event and bring their vision to life.

The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Hospital Oldenburg offers a full range of services in this direction. The department has been operating since May 1998, therefore has many years of experience and is proud of the successful results of the treatment. It treats children of any age, from premature babies weighing 500 grams, small children and to adolescents. Surgical treatment is carried out in modern operating rooms, equipped with all necessary medical technologies. The chief physician of the department is Dr. med. Jose Morcate.
The main goal of the department is to provide optimal medical care and restore the child's health. Great attention is paid to interdisciplinary cooperation with other departments of the hospital, for example, with departments of pediatric oncology, neonatology, pediatric gastroenterology, pulmonology, cardiology, etc. Many surgical interventions are performed by a minimally invasive method ("keyhole surgery"), which facilitates rapid recovery and minimal pain.
Treatment of oncological diseases presents particular interest to the work of this department: tumors of the liver, kidneys, adrenals, sympathetic trunk, lymph nodes, muscles, and the removal of metastases in the lungs and liver. Each clinical case is discussed at an interdisciplinary consultation with specialists from the Department of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, after which an individual treatment plan is developed.
Surgical treatment of skin diseases, for example, removal of skin growths, dermoid cysts, birthmarks, etc.
Surgical treatment of all pathological changes in the chest and lungs, as well as congenital malformations, inflammatory and malignant diseases of these organs.
Surgery of "little children": treatment of inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, undescended testicle, phimosis, etc.


THE TWO is being formatted right now, so it's officially hands-off for me. I can't touch it anymore. I wish I could turn the darn thing off in my head.
I've seen the first draft of the cover. The cover! OMG the cover.
This just might be the last update before it's published.
August is here, and so is the final draft of THE TWO. I start proofreading it on my Kindle tomorrow. Give me (and my editor who's also doing a final read) a week or two on that, then everything goes to the cover artist/formatter.
'Cause guess what else is here. Photos for the cover. Stunning photos, I should say. My photographer is a wizard.
And we all love wizards, don't we? Yes we do.

Gucci is Launching a Limited Edition Book Dedicated to Rome and Pre-Fall 2017 – ts.kux.de
Gucci is Launching a Limited Edition Book Dedicated to Rome and Pre-Fall 2017
Gucci is expanding its sartorial horizon into the world of literature with the launch of a limited edition book titled Hortus Sanitatis, which translates to "The Garden of Health" in Latin. The text, which will be released in a limited run of just 1,000 copies on July 5th, is named after the first natural history encyclopedia published in Germany in 1485. The exterior, a bright blue cover with gold foil accents, is reminiscent of a spell book, which feels fitting since creative director Alessandro Michele has had the fashion world under a real-life spell since he took over Gucci in 2015.
Inside, imagery by photographer Derek Ridgers showcases Gucci's recent Pre-Fall 2017 collection in staged scenarios around Rome's apothecaries, book stores, and libraries. And of course Michele can't resist throwing in some exotic animals, cats, and snakes too. Ridgers is lesser known in the realm of fashion, but is noted for his work on the punk scene during the late '70s to early '90s, capturing the biggest bands of the day, like The Ramones and Siouxie Sioux.
Hortus Sanitatis will come in a red cotton pouch with a skull and cross-bone embellishment. The first official release will be at London's Dover Street Market, but international shoppers will later be able to purchase the book at Colette and Commes des Garçon's Trading Museum in Paris, Dover Street Market and Dashwood in New York, and Arcana in Los Angeles.

Time is obviously synonymous with wear, and love is inherent in time. This is not a love story. It's a story of how love is transformed, of the relationship between two strong, independent women. It's the story of how everyday life takes its toll on two lives.
Wild Nights With Emily
October 5, 2018 @ 7:15 pm - 9:00 pm | | Tampa Theatre
Finally, Emily Dickinson as we always knew she must be - a passionate, funny, endearing woman in love with Susan Gilbert. Molly Shannon's Emily throws her bloomers over her head and dives into the pleasures of stolen kisses and red-hot passion, despite the trappings of petticoats and the oppressive roles for women.

Drama In Your Shorts
October 6, 2018 @ 2:45 pm | | Tampa Theatre
Join us for a collection of seven short films that celebrate queer and trans people of diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Kiss Me (Embrasse-Moi!)
Kiss Me! is an ordinary rom-com with a typical rom-com story … except it is about lesbians. Brava! It is about time lesbians were featured in a feel-good romcom, and we can thank French comedian and director, Océane Rose Marie for the good time. The story centers around Océanerosemarie (yep, that's her name), a chiropractor with a big heart and a very active sex life.
In 1978, when the push to decriminalize homosexuality in Australia stalled, a group of activists decide they must make one final attempt to celebrate who they are. They get a police permit, spread the word.and on a freezing winter's night, cloak themselves in fancy dress, join hands, and parade down oxford street. But they have no idea what is to come and that the courage they find that night will finally mobilize the nation..
There are those of us who believe that people come into our lives at exactly the right time, just when we need that particular person, that particular light. Jackie and Faith find themselves together at the precise moment they both needed the other.
Freelancers Anonymous
Billie is in a dead-end job that she hates, is engaged to Gayle whom she adores and is wound up tighter than a top. When she has a chemically induced epiphany, she quits her job and makes a dramatic exit, only to realize she has no job, a wedding to plan, and a fiancé who is going to be super pissed.
Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell made magic happen when they opened Studio 54 in New York City in 1977. By 1978, Studio 54 was the most famous nightclub in the world. Matt Tyrnauer's excellent and entertaining documentary explores the enchantment behind the madness that took Manhattan by storm.
Good Manners (As boas maneiras)
lara is poor, Black, and so desperate for work that she takes a demeaning job working for what appears to be (at least on the surface) an entitled, self-absorbed wealthy, pregnant white woman. Make no mistake – nothing in this story is what it appears to be.
Lez Bomb
Thanksgiving is a blessed time of celebrating the ties that bind and the love of family, the perfect time to make memories and share precious moments, together. Thus, the perfect time to drop the "lez bomb." If only Lauren's family wasn't completely nuts!
Paternal Rites – DOCUMENTARY CENTERPIECE
October 10, 2018 @ 5:30 pm | | Tampa Theatre
Paternal Rites is an extraordinary first-person essay film that examines the secret underbelly of a contemporary Jewish American family as they grapple with the aftereffects of physical and sexual abuse on their present-day lives. It is also a groundbreaking film about the nature of trauma and memory itself.
Dykes, Camera, Action!
October 11, 2018 @ 7:00 pm | | freeFall Theatre
"I'm going to make a film about a girl who falls in love with a woman." A radical idea in 1984 from Su Friedrich, who used that inspiration to make Damned If You Don't. This beautifully constructed documentary is more than a review of lesbian filmmaking.
Maya, a 19 year-old queer pixie and a talented artist, gets romantically involved with her sexually fluid insta-crush. But, on the verge of her first love, the situation at hand is more complicated than anything she could imagine.
October 12, 2018 @ 10:00 pm | | freeFall Theatre
Recently single, Korean-born LA artist Sophia Lee devotes herself to her public performance art, whether it's a provocative Korean perspective on the LA Riots at a park or supermarket, or quirky digital art on social media. Meanwhile, when a stranger makes Sophia late for a TaskRabbit gig, she loses her temper, only to run into her repeatedly and discover a strong connection.

Pacific Sotheby's International Realty Agents Honored as 2019 NAHREP Top 250 Latino Agents
by Pacific Sotheby's International Realty
The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP®) has released its eighth annual Top 250 Latino Agents Report, recognizing outstanding Latino real estate agents and teams from around the country.
Pacific Sotheby's International Realty is proud to congratulate Ilana Huff from the company's San Marcos office, Mark Marquez from the Inland Corridor office and Carlos Gutierrez III from the La Jolla office who were all recognized in the report.
Ilana Huff was ranked 10th in the country for sales volume, 29th in the West, and 94th for transaction sides. Mark Marquez was ranked 16th in the country for sales volume and 48th in the West. Carlos Gutierrez III was ranked 44th in the nation for sales volume.
"To be named among the top 50 Latino agents in the nation for their sales volume is an incredible achievement and it shows the dedication that Ilana, Mark, and Carlos have for our industry, their clients and their peers," says Brian Arrington, Chairman, Pacific Sotheby's International Realty.
Every year, the brightest agents from all cities across the country are carefully considered for the Top 250 Latino Agent award. Each candidate brings a unique story of personal triumph, overcoming adversity, devotion to their trade, and work every day in their local market to make homeownership a reality for families. NAHREP® believes in the importance of recognizing such hard-working people who make homeownership their mission.
"I am honored to receive this recognition and thankful to my community for their support and trust, "says Ilana Huff. "It takes a village, and I would not be where I am today without the trust and support of my clients and peers."
According to NAHREP®, Latinos account for more than 50 percent of new homeowners nationwide, and highly skilled Latino agents have the inside track in serving this segment of the market. These hard-working agents are set apart from over one hundred and fifteen thousand Latinos in real estate through their dedication to homeownership.
"I am proud to be a part of NAHREP® and will continue to work hard to ensure that our Hispanic community has every access to homeownership at all price points," says Mark Marquez.
"This is truly an honor," adds Carlos Gutierrez. "I am passionate about my community and strive to be involved in helping make it better for everyone."
The Top 250 Latino Agents will receive special recognition at the 2019 NAHREP National Convention at L'ATTITUDE that will be held in San Diego, CA, on September 26-29, 2019.

"Community colleges are at the forefront of the national college completion movement. To be successful, colleges must relentlessly focus on using student data and evidence to make important decisions that will have positive outcomes on students, campuses, and communities."
Signifying a strong commitment to student success and completion, Edmonds Community College has joined Achieving the Dream, a national initiative that helps more community college students succeed, particularly students of color and low-income students. Achieving the Dream works on multiple fronts — including efforts on campuses and in research, public engagement, and public policy — and emphasizes the use of data to drive change.
Edmonds CC is working to identify strategies for improving student success, closing achievement gaps, and increasing retention, persistence, and completion rates. The goal is to help more students earn postsecondary credentials, including occupational certificates and degrees.
See the other Achieving the Dream colleges in Washington state.
Launched as an initiative in 2004 with funding provided by Lumina Foundation for Education, Achieving the Dream is built on the belief that broad institutional change, informed by student achievement data, is critical to significantly improving student success rates.
Today, Achieving the Dream's network includes 160 institutions in 30 states and the District of Columbia, serving more than 2 million students.


Finishing a few more ripples and catching up on Grey's Anatomy in the great outdoors.
What did the world do before laptops? Seriously--I'd be lost if I couldn't blog/watch movies in the back yard.
How funny, the more I read your blog the more similar we seem... however, my ripple blanket is on hold due to it being too hot to crochet with the blanket on my lap! And I think I have the original owl (black and brown) version of your shoes..


So, I really dropped the ball on this review, I really thought I had it already written in my notebook. NOPE! There is a total of 3 actual blog posts written in the notebook and about 10+ pages of nail polish formulas. Shame on me!
I was not sure what to expect when it came to this razor honestly. I want to talk about the blade and the handle before I get into anything else. The handle in my opinion is a bit weird, it has a weird angle too it. Not that it is a problem, but it just has a very weird gold, at least for myself it does. The head/blade swivels so it will definitely hug all of your curves and what not when shaving. The sheer size of the head though did worry me. I've found that every time I use a razor with a head that big, I ALWAYS knick my legs without bloody fail. Thankfully, I didn't knick my legs (or anything else for that matter) ONCE with this, kudos for that. As for the whole "moisture strips" thing-a-majigger, I'm not too fond of it. I don't really mind it, but they always dry my legs out more. The moisturizer in this isn't too bad, but I just don't like how it's placed on the head. Honestly, if you don't dry the razor off after you use it, the moisturizer basically dissipates out of the holes. Per the holes, it's kind of gross but their hairs that are small enough to get in, basically COLLECT there. Bloody hell. There isn't even a way to get them out.
As for how the shave was, eh. I had to go over the same spot twice honestly just to get a good shave. There was still a bit of stubble left on my legs after one pass. I'm not disappointed in this razor, I do feel that it has some faults, but all around it is a decent razor. I honestly can deal with the whole having to go over the same spot twice, that doesn't bother me. This does make your legs feel absolutely fantastic, until the moisurizer dries, then I suggest using your own lotion, because my lefts felt like a desert. I did shave every place a woman shaves.. (it needed to be said) to test this out and it was okay. Once again, not my favorite. I did find that this worked fantastically on my underarms, but it made the hair that grew back in other places, kind of uncomfortable, because of the way it cut the hair. We shant say more on that subject.
With that being said. I feel like this razor could be improved on, but it is decent enough for me to continue using and potentially buy new head replacements for. (if they aren't ungodly expensive. I've not looked as of yet.. prices will be at le bottom) I bloomin' hate giving such a meh review about things, which is probably why this has taken me a long time to type, since I never wrote it beforehand. I have used this razor a couple of times (3 times) and the moisture strips at the top and bottom are almost gone. I'm not sure how long they are supposed to last, but they were about half gone after the first use. If that is any type of help regarding the moisturizing aspect. I do want to thank BzzAgent and Schick for giving me the opportunity to try this product!
This retails for between $6-$10 depending on if you buy the one that comes with the shower hanger and extra blade or the one that comes with 1 blade and the handle. The cartridge refiles are around $15. Meh honestly, that's why I don't buy razors that require refills. The prices are extremely too high in my opinion.
Anyways, have you tried this razor before? I'd love to know what your opinions are of this.
Disclaimer: I received this product for FREE from BzzAgent and Schick for my honest and unbiased review. All opinions are my own.
This review is extremely helpful. I've tested out the razor once and I noticed too that hairs were stuck inside the handle. Yuck! Didn't want my boyfriend to see that! That would be so embarrassing!

More about Kitty
BA (Hons) Costume Design and Making now known as BA (Hons) Design for Stage and Screen (Costume Design and Construction).
"It was one of the only courses that gave the opportunity to design and make, which was really important to me as I enjoyed both and wanted to explore each area further."
What was your first impression of the University?
"I came to an open day and I loved it from the second I arrived. There was a good feeling to the building and the tutors were so friendly and helpful. The student ambassadors were so great to talk to and helped answer all my questions."
What do you enjoy most about your course?
"I've enjoyed working alongside some really talented tutors, designers and makers who have taught me so much, and who care and understand about me as a person rather than just another student."
Have you completed any live projects through the course?
"We were given a live brief to work alongside 60's band Ready Steady 60's on some ideas for their stage outfits. It was really useful to be able to work with the band, bouncing ideas off them and expanding their vision; it taught me a lot about professional practice."
Can you tell us about a guest lecturer that you've enjoyed?
"We had dancer, choreographer and designer Theo Clinkard visit us to speak about his work and how he's carved his way in the industry. What was so interesting about him was that he could speak from all angles being the performer and also the designer, and how this has helped to have a different angle on his work. He inspired me to allow myself to think more creatively and that it's important to have confidence in your work."
How do you find the course staff?
"The course staff are really helpful and seem to have a personal interest in the work, as it's clear it's what they love. Their industry knowledge is so invaluable and is brought to every project we undertake."
What do you like about studying at NTU?
"I like that there is such a variety of courses. We have so many great art courses but there are also degrees in law, business and sciences which mean you meet such a range of people."
Would you recommend Costume Design and Making at NTU?
"Yes! There are a shortage of courses out there which support both design and making and understand the importance of knowing both."
Where do you hope to be in five years' time?
"I hope to be a costume designer and maker for theatre, opera, film or television. I want to explore it all and see where that takes me."
