We all have the desire to have healthy nails don't we? for me, I've tried several fixes to give me healthy, strong and fast growing nails, including herbal remedies. Everything I've tried previously worked for a while, but after a few short weeks my nails would return to their usual state. I had never found anything to fit into my routine that didn't include taking a daily vitamin or supplement. I had just excepted that was the way they were and got on with my weekly mini-mani's.
When I was contacted to try out the * Nail Magic nail hardener and conditioner, I was of course dubious, but with nothing to lose I accepted the gift.
Ill be honest, this wasn't one of those PR's I was desperate to try immediately and it had sat on my 'To Try' pile for a while. That was until I had ran out of base coat and was looking for anything to use as a replacement. I came across my nail magic and had a little look at the instructions where I found out it could be used as a base and top coat! great news. Following the directions I applied one coat, followed by my nail polish before applying it as a top coat also.
To be honest it had just fell into my routine and I was really enjoying the product, and although my nails were starting to grow a little faster and didn't break quite so easy it wasn't one of those products that I was dying to write a review about. That was until two weeks ago.
I had some acrylics done by a friends training sister, after about a week one had fell off and due to me not being able to schedule a new appointment, I proceeded to bite each one off. I'm sure most of you have done the exact same thing, and the result is always the same. Rough, weak and sore nails lie miserably underneath. Not for me, not this time. My nails were exactly the same as they had been before, with no soreness. I just couldn't understand it.
It wasn't until last week when my Sunday routine popped around again and I got my Nail Magic out to apply as a base coat that I realised, this little beauty was the reason for my strong nails not being destroyed by those acrylics. There is no other explanation as to why they were fighting fit after chewing the extensions off.
Now this little pot of magic is a holy grail in my routine and I truly believe in its ability to strengthen and condition your natural nail. Its so simple to include in my routine as a base coat, all the while its giving me nails of steel. I'm only sorry that it took me so long to try it out!
* This product was gifted to me, however as always, all opinions are 100% my own.
If you didn't already know, Im 5"9' tall. Yes. I know, I'm a giant in comparison to most women, and I HATE it. But unless they revolutionise plastic surgery to enable me to be my ideal height * insert praying emoji here* then it looks like I'm stuck with it. One of the many issues that comes along with being tall is finding boots.
I've wanted a pair of knee high boots for a while but everything I tried was either to tight on the leg, to big or TOO SHORT. knee high looking boots that barley cover your calf is not a good look.
If like me your tall, or have big calfs then these a great. They are stretchy, so comfortably fit around my leg as well as being a good height. Although they don't cover my knee they are the closest I'm ever going to get. These are still available in Debenhams and at a bargain of £70 down from £150, they are a real steal.
I love the suede panel at the from which is then used as a strip down the back. They are comfortable, on trend and perfect to pull together any outfit. I love them!
Did you manage to pick up any bargains in the January sales?
So yesterday me and my blogging bestie Holly from I2Style, decided to take a road trip to the coast. We had planned on going to Barmouth for the day but in a spontaneous decision, changed our plans to Brighton. We set of with a picnic all packed and headed to the beach.
On arrival we were so excited, listening to Mike Dignam - Great Escape the whole way :) We got to the beach and stood for a while taking it all in. I don't know about you, but for me, being by the coast really calms me. I'd love to live there in a few years.
We then went for a walk down the pier and had a go on the dance mats, the merry-go-round and followed it up with a gorgeous banana and nutella crepe. It was delicious.
I love the lanes, theres something so quirky about them. There is such a great array of stores and cute little cafes. We had a good walk round and then went for a gorgeous meal at Bella Italia before heading back home.
Brighton is a lovely place, although it wasn't quite what I expected. I much prefer the side nearer Hove (right of the pier) I could definitely see myself living their in the future. The beach was beautiful and calming. It's just right up my street.
If you follow me on my Youtube channel as well, then you may already know that I have tried to up my game in 2015 and am uploading every Thursday. So far its going really well. But it is only the second week. haha.
I really hope you enjoy the video. Please leave me a comment and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. And let me know in the comments below what you handbag beauty staple is.
I was recently contacted by The Bloggers Hub to get involved in their social media show. I thought it would be great way for me to get involved with the community and see some similar posts from other bloggers.
I put this outfit together with spring in mind, it was quite a mild day so I was feeling inspired. I absolutely love this top but it can be a little tricky, as it has a lace front which is pretty see through, so you definitely have to bear that in mind when your selecting your bra. Louise Ferdinand Lingerie kindly sent me a lace bra and briefs set which went perfectly with this top, meaning I can now wear it without worrying about awkwardly showing a bright pink bra. I really like the set, however I would say the sizes come in quite small and the price is quite high. but I think thats something you have to expect when a product is handmade.
As for Make-up, Im obsessed with purple tones at the minute, so I went for this deep smokey eye with a coral lip.
As some of you know, I've been suffering with acne for over a year now. I have been lucky enough to receive treatment but unfortunately this makeup is very deceiving, under it all, its still quite present. Makeup Nails Tan kindly sent me the corrector & concealer palette which works to correct tones with a counter acting colours. As you can see from the picture above, there are raised lumps, but I have corrected the redness with this palette. I love it. On my eyes I used the Naked pallets Toasted, Hustle and creep in the outer corner to smoke it out.
This was my first purchase from Charlotte Tilbury, and will be one of many..
I've never really been one to succumb to the 'it' products on the market. I tend to make choices based on what budget I've got left from my wages and what I fancy trying out. I went to the Autumn Winter Fashion Show at the Bullring with Paige and we did a spot of shopping after. When we went over to the Charlotte Tilbury stand, we had a lipstick demo. However I'm not really a lipstick lover, although I love a good bold lip, I tend to stay with what I know. I am however, all for anything eye related.
When I saw the collection of Colour Chameleon pencils, I was in full blown beauty blogger mode. My hand looked like a palette in itself. Haha. It was a tricky pick between Bronzed Garnet and Amethyst Aphrodisiac, but the sales assistant recommended the latter, and that was it. SOLD - to the sheepish CT newby..
I couldn't wait to try this out when I got home and over the past few months I've experimented with this gorgeous product quite a lot. Its smooth consistency makes for easy application around the delicate eye area and the beautiful colour really does make green eyes pop. Here's some of the ways I've enjoyed wearing this product.
Applying a neutral shadow to the outer corners of the eye (I like to use Naked buck), then sweep this under the lower lash line for a pop of colour.
pretty self explanatory. Just apply the pencil to the complete upper eyelid, blending the edges with your finger.
This has to be my favourite. It's so quick and simple and with only one product you can carry this around in your handbag for that really easy last minute day to night look. Simply apply some to the inner corner of the eye and blend out. then from the centre of the lid and blend a little less. then finally apply to the outer corner and not blend at all. apply a little to the lower lash line and voila. the perfect one product smokey eye.
Overall I absolutely love this product, well done Charlotte Tilbury. I can believe I waited so long. This one is from the green eye collection. I really want to try them all out though now. It's quite steep at £19 but when you consider the use you'll get from it. I'd say its definitely worth the splurge.
What is your go to easy product that you carry around with you? Have you tried the Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon?
Every year we hear the same old thing of setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, something we like to call new years resolutions. A day, 1st January, just like every other day, all except we decide to change something about ourselves. Some people manage to keep up with there resolution, but the vast majority fail miserably. I think I've had the same resolution for the past 5 years. Lose weight. yeah, still not there yet! whoops.
Something that I do every single year though, that I just do, without a second thought, is a big clear out. A bit like a spring clean. Here's a list of the things I like to do, to help clear out my space ready for a fresh start in the new year.
I go through everything, even PJ's, Pants and Socks and throw out anything that I no longer wear, haven't worn in a while, or quite frankly has had its day.
For me this is paramount, I have a LOT of draws, living with my parents means I need the storage. I like to do a full clear out, take everything out, sort through what to keep and what to give away and what to throw out, this leads me onto my next point.
I have a LOT of products, most of which its impossible to use. so once I've gone through all my draws, I will collect all the products to 'give away' into a bag and go around my friends and family giving them dibs on the products.
This is essential I think, this gives me such mental clarity going into the new year. I lie to plan out what exactly my income is and what my outgoings are and decide exactly what I want to do with the rest of my money every month. the envelope technique is great. Withdraw all your money for different things and divide it between envelopes. So you can go to the petrol envelope when you need petrol and your food envelope when you need food, and so on. Its a really great way to feel organised and in control of your finances.
Probably my favourite of the lot. A full body pamper, the perfect way to feel awesome when you have to roll back into the office for your first day back. I like to do the lot. Hair mask, Skin mask, deep exfoliate, trim cuticles, buff nails, full mani/pedi. Not forgetting the plucking of eyebrows.
Now I know I said I've had the same resolution for the past 5 years, and yes, its true. but clearly its still something I'd like to change. Maybe this year I'll try and be a little more realistic.
Thats what I do to kick start me with a great year ahead. Have you set a resolution? If so, What is it?
Some of you may remember the post I did last year remembering 2013 and preparing for 2014, where I decided to keep items throughout the year to remind me of the day in the future. Well I stuck with it and am going to share with you some of the highlights of my year. But first I thought I'd share with you, just what 2014 has meant for me.
2014 was a year that at the start I was dreading, see at the end of 2013 I was bogged down with anxiety and just imagined this year to be yet another struggle. But I have to say, I was wrong. yes there were days I didn't want to get out of bed, or I thought life couldn't get any worse, but I pushed through and can safely say that I'm excited for what 2015 has to offer. In 2014 I lost a few friends I would of considered close. But I realised that toxic relationships are really damaging. Especially if you suffer with mental health, it can be very draining. I think thats just a part of growing up though. I got to experience some AMAZING things. I visited portugal with Elliott, Abu Dhabi with my sister and went on a big family holiday out to Mallorca. I gained so much confidence back this year, enough to move forward with my career and start working for a magazine. I really am excited for what 2015 has to offer. I'm ready for anything. Here's a few highlights of 2014.
At the start of the year Me and my bestfriend went to see Beyonce. She was absolutely incredible.
In March I went to London twice, with my blogging bestie Holly from I2Style first we went to London Blogger Fashion Week, then we attended the Vogue Festival and managed to see the Masterclass seminar. It was amazing to get an insight into the fashion industry and was really inspiring. Holly and I then went for a lovely meal at Las Iguanas before heading home.
We also went to my nephews 9th birthday party - It was a skating party, we had a great time!
In May I went to see McBusted, my god was that a blast from the past! We had an awesome night dancing around to all the old school hits and reminiscing. I also went to see The Kooks, I used to love them in my teens!
Then me and elliott went off on our little road trip, if your interested I vlogged the whole thing. Vlog: sleeping in the car and flying to Portugal. We had such a great time!
Then a week after we got back from Portugal, I flew out to Dubai with my sister for a week in Abu Dhabi. It was the most incredible holiday of my life. We stayed at the 5* Yas Viceroy hotel, and had a complete week of feeling like queens! I also filmed some of this. You can watch it here. Unfortunately I had to override my original music.
We then went to see Eminem on the 11th July and stayed in londin for the night! We had such a great couple of days!
At the end of July we went on a two week family holiday to Mallorca, it was great to spend quality time with my sisters and nieces and nephews. I filmed a lookbook while I was on there.
In August we went on camping trip with Elliott's family for a long weekend at Shell Island. It was beautiful and so relaxing!
In September we saw Lee Evans, ill be honest, it wasn't as good as previous tours but it was a good laugh and worth it considering he's now retired.
We later attended the Costa Musical Bingo halloween event. It was such a great night! i'll definitely be going again. Its brilliant for a night out with the girls.
Holly and I went to see Ed Sheeran in October, He was AMAZING! We also spent Halloween together on a night out, which was great fun!
This was around the time I then left my job. Id worked there for 4 years and it was all very emotional. But it was the best thing I have ever done! I am loving my new job and the experience I'm getting from it! Ive had a crazy couple of months but its been well worth it. now I'm ready to conquer 2015.

Second review for Uniqso as I said in the previous post! This time I chose Dolly Eye Puffy 3 tones green, 'cause I wanted a natural green pair to wear daily without looking too fake, it was the first time I tried this model and I was really curious to see how it suits me!
The color is a cute and special green tone with some yellow near the pupil, they suit really well my natural brown eyes thanks to the yellow part that blends nicely! The diameter is not really big but the final effect is really similar to bigger lenses, totally amazing! The design is really simple and natural, perfect for a natural make up and to wear them daily without looking too fake, they're also really comfy, I wore them for 8 hours and I hadn't problems. They come with prescription of course!
Don't forget to check the current Uniqso promotions here and here!
I'm so curious to try the grey pair *_* I'm sure they're amazing too!
I'm happy you like it ♡!
It's really sad you have that problem ;u; this pair is really comfy even if the water content isn't really high!

Q: Where is git repository of Xcode stored? And Why different repository is created when I copy project directory? I'm using built-in git of Xcode.
I think my project directory is just a working copy of repository.
How can I know where repository is stored?
And when I copied a project directory, a new different repository is automatically created for new project directory instead of sharing the repository of old project directory.
That is convenient but why that happend?

A: Git stores the repository in the top-most .git folder of your working directory. So, if your code is in /Users/js/Code/MyProject, then the repository is in /Users/js/Code/MyProject/.git/.
Git encourages every repository to contain a single "project". Although it's possible to store unrelated branches that don't share any history in a single repository, that is very nonstandard and might be confusing to other people.
It's also possible, but discouraged, to store unrelated projects as subdirectories within a single working directory. This would make it difficult to see the history of each individual project, since you'd have to inspect each individual commit to figure out which project it affected, and merges would be downright painful.

I ask you . . . what goes better with hot dogs than beer? It's like mom and apple pie, valentines and chocolate, Sodom and Gomorrah. All right. Maybe not the last one. But you get my drift.
Beer, hotdogs. Hotdogs, beer. Mmmmmmm.
This recipe is a spicy meat sauce for hot dogs made with beer. It's hugely flavorful. It is based on the famous sauce served at Capitol Lunch, a local-to-me eatery that is known for it's hot dogs and it's meat sauce.
I made this recipe with Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale by Sierra Nevada. The spices in the beer compliment the ingredients in the sauce quite nicely. But you can use whatever beer you like; experiment and make it your own.
This recipe is great if you prepare it a day ahead of time to allow the flavors to fully combine and mesh.
In a large stock pot, cook beef, tomatoes and onion in 1/4 cup of beer until beef is browned.
Place meat mixture in a blender and pulse a couple times to finely chopped. Don't process too long because you don't want to puree the meat.
Add the rest of the beer and the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil.
Return the meat to the pot and simmer for at least 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
Serve over your favorite hot dog. I like to wrap the dog in cheese before I put the sauce on. YUM!
Thank you Brauista lady, this is an amazing clone. As a New Britain expatriate living in Ohio I have sought this recipe for the longest time. It's the best one yet!

According to Tattvarthasutra, 2nd century CE Jain text, yoga is the sum of all the activities of mind, speech and body.[6] Umasvati calls yoga the cause of "asrava" or karmic influx[171] as well as one of the essentials—samyak caritra—in the path to liberation.[171] In his Niyamasara, Acarya Kundakunda, describes yoga bhakti—devotion to the path to liberation—as the highest form of devotion.[172] Acarya Haribhadra and Acarya Hemacandra mention the five major vows of ascetics and 12 minor vows of laity under yoga. This has led certain Indologists like Prof. Robert J. Zydenbos to call Jainism, essentially, a system of yogic thinking that grew into a full-fledged religion.[173] The five yamas or the constraints of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali bear a resemblance to the five major vows of Jainism, indicating a history of strong cross-fertilization between these traditions.[173][note 16] https://www.facebook.com/Buzzing-Offer-BusinessInvesting-650621182046830/
Malaysia's top Islamic body in 2008 passed a fatwa, prohibiting Muslims from practicing yoga, saying it had elements of Hinduism and that its practice was blasphemy, therefore haraam.[297] Some Muslims in Malaysia who had been practicing yoga for years, criticized the decision as "insulting."[298] Sisters in Islam, a women's rights group in Malaysia, also expressed disappointment and said yoga was just a form of exercise.[299] This fatwa is legally enforceable.[300] However, Malaysia's prime minister clarified that yoga as physical exercise is permissible, but the chanting of religious mantras is prohibited.[301]
In 2008 between US$33 billion and $55 billion was spent annually in the US on weight-loss products and services, including medical procedures and pharmaceuticals, with weight-loss centers taking between 6 and 12 percent of total annual expenditure. Over $1.6 billion a year was spent on weight-loss supplements. About 70 percent of Americans' dieting attempts are of a self-help nature.[23][24] https://buzzingofferselfhelp.tumblr.com/

Shannon Hewison, who sadly passed away from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in 2017.
Rhona Rance, who has been working at Everyone Active since 2020, has raised more than £11,000 for Epilepsy Research UK through various fundraisers since she lost her daughter four years ago.
She said: "My daughter Shannon was diagnosed with epilepsy at eighteen months old, but she didn't let that stop her from doing anything she wanted to.
"When Shannon passed away at the age of 21 from SUDEP, it was an unbelievable shock and to this day still leaves me empty."
Rhona added: "In her memory, I decided to channel positive energy into raising money for Epilepsy Research UK, who are researching into ways to make living with epilepsy better.
"We had an amazing turn out at the Christmas Zumba party. It was great fun and we had some really positive feedback from those that participated."
Mehreen Syed, head of development and events at Epilepsy Research UK, said: "Rhona has been a much-valued supporter of Epilepsy Research UK since 2018 and during this time has raised thousands of pounds supporting vital research into epilepsy.
"We're thrilled that the Christmas Zumba party was so successful and are truly grateful to Rhona for her continued support."
The Zumba Christmas party was followed by a raffle where more than 70 prizes had been donated by staff, friends and family members. Hart Leisure centre also gathered substantial donations for the local food bank.

William Wordsworth Fisher (ur. 26 marca 1875 w Seaford w East Sussex, zm. 24 czerwca 1937 w Londynie) – brytyjski wojskowy, admirał Royal Navy z okresu I wojny światowej i dwudziestolecia międzywojennego, w latach 1932–1936 dowódca Floty Śródziemnomorskiej.

William Wordsworth Fisher był młodszym synem historyka Herberta Williama Fishera i bratem Herberta Fishera. W 1888 roku wstąpił do Royal Navy jako kadet na okręcie szkolnym HMS "Britannia", później przeszedł kolejne szczeble kariery w marynarce aż do promocji do stopnia komandora (Captain) w 1912 roku. W tym samym roku został dowódcą drednota HMS "St. Vincent", okrętu flagowego dowódcy 1. Eskadry Pancerników Home Fleet, kontradmirała Somerseta Arthura Gough-Calthorpe'a. William Fisher dowodził tym pancernikiem do 1916 roku, biorąc udział w bitwie jutlandzkiej w składzie 5. Eskadry.

W latach 1917–1918 komandor Fisher był dyrektorem Departamentu Wojny Podwodnej (Anti-Submarine Division) brytyjskiej Admiralicji. Za jego wkład w zwycięstwo w bitwie o Atlantyk sir Henry Newbolt zadedykował mu swoją The Naval History of the Great War, opublikowaną w 1920 roku przez Imperial War Museum. W latach 1919–1922 William Wordsworth Fisher był szefem sztabu Floty Śródziemnomorskiej, pełniąc również od 1921 roku funkcję adiutanta morskiego króla Jerzego V. W 1922 roku został promowany do stopnia kontradmirała (Rear-Admiral) i szefa sztabu Floty Atlantyckiej. W latach 1924–1925 dowodził 1. Eskadrą Pancerników Floty Śródziemnomorskiej, 1926−1927 był pełniącym obowiązki dyrektora wywiadu morskiego, 1927−1928 czwartym lordem morskim Admiralicji.

W 1928 roku William Fisher awansował do stopnia wiceadmirała (Vice-Admiral) i został zastępcą szefa sztabu marynarki. W latach 1930–1932 był zastępcą dowódcy Floty Śródziemnomorskiej, a od 1932 roku admirałem (Admiral) i dowódcą tego związku operacyjnego Royal Navy. W tym charakterze w 1935 roku poprowadził swoje okręty do Wielkiej Brytanii, na wielką rewię morską w Spithead, z okazji srebrnego jubileuszu króla Jerzego V. Od 1936 roku pełnił funkcję komendanta bazy marynarki w Portsmouth. Latem 1937 roku, podczas parady z okazji urodzin króla Edwarda VIII zasłabł i wkrótce zmarł. Pochowano go w morzu z wszelkimi honorami.

Podczas swojej kariery w Royal Navy admirał William Fisher był odznaczony Krzyżem Wielkim Orderu Łaźni i Królewskiego Orderu Wiktoriańskiego oraz odznaczeniami zagranicznymi: orderem oficerskim Legii Honorowej, japońskim Orderem Wschodzącego Słońca oraz amerykańskim Distinguished Service Medal.

The announcer's voice acts like a starting gun for the well-dressed, middle-aged, suited-and-booted office workers piling through the ticket barrier.
'Ladies & Gentlemen, the train now approaching platform one'
On your marks.
'Is the 7.51 Chiltern Railways train'
'To London Marylebone'
Isotonic sports coffee in hand, we take our marks. Peter the Pin Stripe stands in front of the recently vacated bench, Holly Headphones neatly slots her feet into the faded mark of the largely-ignored yellow line, and I stand facing the fading graffiti mark on the other side of the track, my trusted partner in commuter crime for three years now.
We pretend to look at our phones, appearing nonchalant to the situation unfolding, almost like normal people getting on a normal train for the first time in our lives. But we're professionals with hundreds of warm-up commutes behind us. We maintain a state of heightened awareness, our peripheral vision finely tuned to notice any new additions to our group, any one attempting to make a false start, anyone trying to gain an unfair advantage.
Just as well, too. Steven the school uniform arrives, over-stepping the mark and standing out of position. My competitors & I unite, signalling our disgust to the imaginary referee in the sky with raised eyebrows and inaudible tutting. Nothing brings people together like a common enemy, and we silently and telepathically agree to crowd him out as soon as the train arrives. It's not our first rodeo.
Suddenly the train slides into view, shattering any sense of temporary unity as we enter the final straight. Eyes forward. Concentrate. This is important.
The penguin shuffle begins, our brains in overdrive as we calculate the speed of the train and the distance left for it to travel, and what this means for the final resting place of the gold medal button.
Never has a button meant so much to so many, had so much power over our lives. Be the one to touch it and you get free entry, permission from the others to step through the doors unchallenged and take your pick of the remaining seats. The ultimate fastest finger first.
And of course, being the commuter champion I am, the button stops right in line with my already extended finger, a sign of arrogance and confidence that comes with experience, Steven.
But then, disaster strikes.
The button isn't lighting up. It's not lighting up! What's wrong with it?! I'm going to press it anyway. Keep pressing it. Press it harder. My fellow competitors looking at me like I'm at fault, like I'm doing it wrong. I'm not doing it wrong!
One of them is considering leaning in to take over the pressing. Is this a team effort now or a coup? Panic sets in, looking left and right. The other doors are working, people are flooding on to the train. We're being left behind. We're being left behind!
The group has no choice. The rulebook is ripped up. We disperse in all directions.
Now we're running, the race turned on its head with the late comers – including Steven, with his youthful ability to move quickly through puddles without regard for the state of his shoes – now in prime position, picking off the remaining seats whilst us professionals are forced to raise an official appeal to please move down the carriage.
I'm on. At least I'm on. Sure, I'm next to the guy drinking Fosters at 8am. And yeah, he's staring at me. Quite intently.
But it could be worse, at least it's only a short journey. Headphones on, volume up. Tomorrow, we race again. I'll just get there really early.
I really hope you enjoyed this short story whilst on a train to somewhere exciting. If you'd like more stories for your travels, pop your email address into the box on the right to subscribe.

Ellen Page Asks Viewers to 'Connect the Dots' Between Homophobic Rhetoric and Physical Violence
Maria Sherman
Thursday night, while promoting her upcoming Netflix series the Umbrella Academy, Ellen Page paid the Late Show with Stephen Colbert a visit. The conversation never really got to the new show—instead, around the two-minute mark, Colbert brought up the first time he interviewed her, five years ago, not long after she came out. The conversation shifted to the topic of Hollywood's inclusion of LGBTQ actors (or lack thereof) and without missing a beat, Page responded:
"There's clear evidence that [Hollywood] has changed, that there's some progress. There's some more representation but I honestly think we need to hurry up. It's not cutting it. Hollywood, and the film industry in particular, is just so binary and it is so, I find, narrow in its ideas of who can tell stories and who can be in the stories. I hope it continues to change."
She then turned her attention to "the media that is saying it's a debate whether what happened to Jussie Smollett"—the out Empire actor who was violently attacked Tuesday morning in Chicago—"was a hate crime," before discussing the beliefs of Mike Pence, and the immediate, clear through-line between homophobic rhetoric and violence:
"I'm really fired up tonight but it feels impossible not to feel this way right now with the President and the Vice President Mike Pence, who wishes I couldn't be married, let's just be clear. The Vice President of America wishes I didn't have the love [I have] with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana. He believes in conversion therapy. He has hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the governor of Indiana. I think the thing we need to know—and I hope my show Gaycation did this, in terms of connecting the dots between what happened with Jussie, I don't know him personally, I send him all of my love—[is how to] connect the dots. This is what happens. If you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering.
What do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused and they're going to kill themselves. People are going to be beaten on the street. I have traveled the world and I have met the most marginalized people you could meet. I'm lucky to have this time and this privilege to say this. This needs to fucking stop."
Watch the conversation below.

Catrina's professional art career began with photography - food photography, event photography and occasionally product photography. You can see some of her award winning photography here. While she won awards for her photography and found the work was lucrative, it lacked the diversity that she craved. So she began publishing a magazine under the name Tasteful Muse. The Tasteful Muse worked with chefs from around the World helping her readers release their Bon Vivant!
Now Catrina's fine art photographs are available as greeting cards from www.cardwhispers.com. Card Whispers is a joint venture with her husband Derrick Briscoe. Together, their work encompasses the Universe and every genre imaginable. They have just the right card for anyone.
Artistic Saguaro Preservation was started from her home in Tucson. She noticed that over the years, as a saguaros died, or lost an arm, the debris would pile up and become home to various desert creatures. Not wanting to encourage rattlesnakes and pack rats to live in her yard, she began clearing the yard of rubbish. Much of the debris was too beautiful to discard. Catrina began collecting and sorting saguaro boots, ribs, skeletons, skins and anything else that caught her eye. The remarkable beauty of each piece was worthy of display, so Catrina began preserving this debris and Artistic Saguaro Preservation was born. It offers many people a rare, up close, look at saguaros.
Catrina's sculpting career began with La Catrinas by Catrina, original works of art that are inspired by el Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) and the beauty and humor she sees everyday in life. She became captivated by el Catrin and la Catrina while traveling in Mexico. She puts a modern spin on the character she shares a name with. Each la Catrina she creates provides a small glimpse of the person it honors. All la Catrinas by Catrina are meticulously created individuals; each one has a story to tell. Catrina's sculptures have been featured in numerous Dia de los Muertos art shows, including shows in Oregon, Texas, and New Mexico. Much of her work consists of commissioned la Catrinas.
Throughout her art career, Catrina has continued to publish a variety of books. She has several photography books and even a children's book currently available from Amazon. Catrina is one of those 'hands on' type of artists. If she's in, she's in one hundred percent. Where will she go, and what will she do next? Stay tuned because she is certainly not done creating!

For years I've made these just for the hell of it. They've never really served a purpose other than being a personal representation and a little bit of music and "favorite" things. Now, with this stuff and new successes with music, it now serves a little bit more of a purpose!
My name is Jerry Lehr. I live in the middle of nowhere within a surburban home I managed to get a couple of years ago in hopes to provide for my wife and children all while keeping up with my postal job and making music as a hobby. This little hobby, however, is getting me places! With years of practice and quite a few little track collections under my belt, in 2017 I was asked if I would like to help with a little old game known as Project Warlock! The soundtrack, including all the outtakes and everything, spanned 4 discs (five full hours) and has gotten like 99% positive responses so far. The game even caught the attention of John Romero, co-creator of Doom, who is now helping to publish some big box versions of our game under the name Romero Games. I still do my own stuff too, which you will see here. And I will continue to until I'm either dead or physically/mentally cannot do it anymore! You will find that my music is split into two categories: Guitar Stuff, and Synth Stuff. Enjoy!

This is now an album series called "The Noise Vaults." At the current moment, Christmas 2022, there are eight releases. They are as follows:
This is the 2001 collection with a lot of tracks being updated and finalized. These were the first actual guitar recordings using the software ACID I bought in the year 2000. Most of these tracks were rehashed from my high school band days. I came up with the guitar parts myself and didn't copyright them then to our band noose, so why let them go to waste? Oh well. This was originally for practicing on the software anyways, but they ended up pretty damn good I think. Some others agree. Favorites seem to be "Angel With Horns," "Golden," and "Porcupine."
This is a 2002 continuation and follow-up to the first installment. This was actually originally the second half of the first CD I made called "Connect the Dots." It ends with that original title track. Both halves have of course been expanded to full discs themselves, as I've added stuff "after the fact" to all of the half albums and EPs. This features two tracks I did in early 2003 with my friend Will. Everything is instrumental. It also features 3 versions of "Black Melody" and a bunch of recent interludes between the songs. The last track is from 2001, "Connect the Dots."
Smashing Through is a 2002-2003 redux set originally called "Anamorphosis." It also once had only seven tracks and a rat on the cover walking across a record. The title track was actually at the time for a mod project and not even included. I didn't realize until later that there was already a cartoon called "The Animorphs." I then changed the title of this album, and the title of the original track "Anamorphosis" to "Red 40," named after a dye that was thought to cause hyperactivity, since it's a fast "punk" sort of song. There are also new tracks towards the end, and "Hack It Up" was from 2018 for a soundtrack to a game that was never made.
This is the fourth and final "redux of reduxes" album for the old stuff remade and then remade another time in 2021. The original six tracks, accompanied by a few outtakes, are unchanged. I rushed when I realized it was fine as-is and the melodies were more important this time and I released it alongside "Smashing Through." It's mostly from 2004, with one exception, "Gun In Hand."
A Taste of Euphoria features all of the 2005 tracks I made in college for a game called "No Limits Blackjack," my first game with the teams that were set up, which were slightly different each time. It also features one new track, sort of, which is just a simple extended mix of "Mudslide" done in 2019. The order of release was meant as it was, planned months in advanced, and everything relied on me to remix every track on this album to release the next three simultaneously. I then decided I didn't feel the need and just made it an EP so I could finally work on other things soon. The game was pretty sweet I thought, and my favorite of our college games, even though it was honestly just a card game that already existed. We rocked the "extra credit" on this one though and had some voiceovers that probably wouldn't sit to well these days with society going more sensative, and honestly I agree with society on this one.. LOL
This is my outtakes album so far. It ranges from 2000 to 2004 and includes another instrumental done with my friend Will, the very first 2000 version of Black Melody I found recently, outtakes from all four albums still, but honestly a TON of stuff from the doom mod soundtrack to a game I never made that went through various titles including "Lokust Sun," "Visions of Loki," "Nightmares of Loki 2," and "Otherworldly."
This collection goes further back to 2000. I didn't want it "first" like other giant sets of albums I've release or compiled this time, but it doesn't chronologically fit somewhere in the middle. So to fix this issue I doubled its size in 2020 with prenamed tracks I came up with at work. The original artist name I used was "The Dybbuk" which I also used in communities for the classic game DOOM from 1993. The original six-track with outtakes was called "Defined Static" and had a cheap blue filtered cover with the letter D obscured onto it. I torched a computer for linear pictures and made up some artwork to the best of my abilities. The cover to MAKINA is just an old factory photo rendered through various filters, recolored, and placed over a purple grunge background as the border.
This is the first "NEW" thing I had done in a very long time. Almost twenty years! This won't be the last too, as I have a "computer rock" trilogy already titled and lined up, I just need the art, and of course the finished music. This cover was a recolor of art sent to me by my cousin's wife Angie Triesch. It is an odd rendition of, well, a plug. This isn't even what landed the title "Plugged." It's computer rock, so it's ran through various technological layers. Also, it's the opposite of MTV's "Unplugged" concert cds as its very loud in places ;) Favorites are "Evolve," "Boiling Point," and "I/O."

This is a college project of a few guys at ITT Tech before it got shut down. The game was created in 2005 from deliberate broken code our programmer had to fix. I did the music and enlisted a couple of friends to help out with voiceovers for various player stereotypes, rated Mature in most cases. All in all we had a fun time making it and I hope you enjoy it!

These three college video projects were rather fun to make in hopes of entertaining my classmates. It worked. It wasn't exactly a cream-of-the-crop college like it was priced, it was ITT Technical Institute, and it no longer exists!
The first is called "The G Chip." We were required to make a 30-second commercial for a class called Broadcast Graphics. It had to involve one animated 3D model amongst other things. I broke a few rules with it being 90 seconds and having the most primitive 3D I could get, but it was all humorous and I scored a 100 for my impressing efforts :)
The second was an actual 3D Animation. They had to be 15 seconds. Mine is over two minutes with a full song included. It was a public service announcement/song about "Rats of America." To continue the showoff trend we were required next to splice up a movie and piece together our own trailer for it. To overachieve and entertain, here I came again with my own damn movie, the "Son of Gump." It was very retarded!
Two of the three videos above made references to the drug LSD. I made these two songs to keep the crazy going, though I really don't know much about many drugs or how to really sing about LSD itself, so I treated it as just a mystery acronym much like KROQ's contest on coming up with 1001 meanings of the acronym for the band KMFDM.

The Early Recordings of... by Cherry Rounders
This fad started in 2000 with the song "I Eat Poop" that graced napster searches for anyone that typed "Poop." It has been on so many youtube shares from others and scored a yahoo fanclub from a dude in Chicago (Patrick Skerret) in 2001. There were two CDs around this time, one before and one with remakes after that made up The Early Recordings of C.R..
In 2006 I decided to resurrect this character just for fun and some old friends and came up with a storyline that was set to stretch 4 CDs. I ended up recording one in 2006-2008 and lost interest due to "Will and Jerry" a year or so later. Even though this whole thing was abandoned again I published the early material before this to places like Spotify and Apple Music and still pull in around $30 a month for a song from 20 years ago. This can only mean a future release, "The Life of Cherry Rounders" is in order. However, I haven't even began recording for it I just get ideas from time to time in my head at work to write down.

MODERN SITE ©2023
As a redux in January of 2023, I have compiled a small website moving forward to my actual releases coming soon. Yes, it's been over 20 years since this nsfw/nonsense came about, and I've finally officially added it back to my website because I make like $30 a month still off of one song and I'd like to buy more tacos in the following months for me and the kids ;) They of course don't know about this and I'd like to keep it that way until they are older and realize their dad is batshit nutty when it comes to doing different characters and music making fun of shock rock.
Also: BANDCAMP
In the realm of game design still, I tried it myself. I was disappointed that I never really learned due to always being picked for audio, but I can't complain because I'm sure programming games is as rough as people make it out to be. So for now I started hacking mario using already made tools (In other words since I'm nowhere near an actual hacker by any means, I used a hacker-made level editor). Click title screen for roms.
The Super Mario Bros 2 that we know is known as Super Mario USA in Japan. Japan had a different Super Mario Bros 2, which is where Lost Levels from Super Mario All-Stars came from ;) The original game was called Doki Doki Panic. In the original you had to beat each level with all four characters, and the game caused a lot of seizures, so they slowed it down.
A rare copy of Mario 3 sold for $156,000 at an auction in 2020. It is now considered the most expensive video game cartridge.
Mario first appeared as the player character of Donkey Kong (1981), a platform game. The creator wanted to use Popeye as the protagonist, but when he could not achieve the licensing rights, he created Mario instead.
CLICK FOR SUPER MARIO BROS X
Before I get to the mario hacking editors, I'll first talk about Super Mario Bros X. This is a fanmade mario game where you can also create your own levels or episodes. You can also download already created episodes to play yourself. Super Mario Bros X2 allows you to create your own hubs with levels included. The first comes with 60 premade levels in its own game.
HERE are editors for Super Mario Bros. HERE are editors for the Japanese Super Mario Bros 2. HERE they are for the American Super Mario Bros 2. And finally, HERE are the Super Mario Bros 3 Editors.
My life went on a complete tangent for a few years while I put all my efforts into all this nonsense. We recorded over 40 tracks off and on in 2008-2009 and some more after we released our free double CD to friends and hundreds of unsuspecting strangers in various events and cities nearby (Broad Ripple, IN and the Indy 500 were a couple) in February of 2011. Adult themes and words were used. It was utter batshit crazy nonsense but it was fun. If you enjoy it snag it from bandcamp! We stopped recording sometime around 2013 after four whole shows and officially disbanded in 2016 due to family/time management and me working again with ultra hours and days. I also lost interest and didn't like the direction it was going at all. There's only so much NSFW you can do before it gets old after a while, so I quit while we were ahead.

Will and Jerry by Will and Jerry
BUY A CD, AT NO PROFIT TO US (TO BE FAIR TO WILL) FOR THE CHEAPEST ON-DEMAND PRICE POSSIBLE. FIVE BUCKS! CASE AND ALL /W ARTWORK AND PHOTOS :)
WILL AND JERRY
I think I recorded 20 songs in a few small sessions, but only one was prewritten. The others I just freestyled nonsense and they weren't really worth keeping, though I have a DVD-R in my personal archive somewhere, as they are all videos.
This song is an homage to a lot of small towns, more specifically the one I grew up in, and the epidemic of Crystal Meth. I researched a lot of stereotypes and facts about Meth. Unfortunately I needed google to help me remember a few things about high school math as well. Regardless, Do your math, and fuck that meth!
This is not one of those public service announcements from a former addict or anything, I've never touched the shit.
I later named this character/nerdy persona "Jerald Wonk." I had six songs planned but lost all the lyrics since, and only have the ideas again. Someday!
...AND I SUCKED!
20-IN-1 VERY UNFINISHED
Invasion of the Zobs Finished, but shitty!
CoinSlots made in Visual Basic
The 20-in-1 thing is full of game starts and no finishes, except for maybe "Hambone."
It also features a lot of pixel art by Brianna Lehr. The hams are by Allen West.
Here are a few other shitty starts from this era.
THE PROJECT WARLOCK OST WAS BEGAN IN JULY OF 2017 AND FINISHED IN JANUARY OF 2018.
IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE IT HAPPENED, I WAS POSTING MUSIC IN DOOM FORUMS LOOKING FOR A MOD TEAM TO JOIN
THIS SAME MUSIC WAS HEAVILY UPDATED FOR PROJECT WARLOCK. ANYWAY, IN SAID DOOM FORUMS I MET IAN LOCKHART WHO
WENT BY EREBUS. HE FORMED TEAM EREBUS THEN KIND OF DISAPPEARED FROM THE FACE OF THE INTERNET FOR A WHILE, I THINK.
I ALMOST DELETED HIM FROM FACEBOOK BECAUSE I GUESS I DIDN'T KNOW HIM ANYMORE AND STOPPED MAKING MUSIC FOR A WHILE.
THEN HE POPPED UP ONE DAY AND ASKED IF I'D LIKE TO MAKE MUSIC FOR A GAME FOR $$$. I WAS THEN INTRODUCED TO JAKUB CISLO.
I HAD HALF A YEAR TO DO 65 TRACKS, BUT LUCKILY I ALREADY HAD A LOT OF STUFF TO UPDATE AND REMIX FOR THIS PURPOSE. THERE
WAS ALSO A TON OF NEW MUSIC AND OUTAKES. IT TOTALED 5 HOURS WITH EVERYTHING, AND THE GAME BLEW UP!
I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH NEGATIVE ABOUT THIS SOUNDTRACK. I'M A LITTLE SLOW ABOUT WORKING ON THE SECOND FROM MY HIGH DEMAND JOB
IN REAL LIFE, BUT I HAVE TWO YEARS THIS TIME I BELIEVE, AND I'M PRETTY EXCITED TO SEE THIS FINAL PROJECT TOO!

Gemini Siannodel would love your feedback! Got a few minutes to write a review?
The Reign of Tenebrae
Gemini Siannodel 1 story
"Let the darkness take you all!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Allura and her friends are called to a meeting in the Capital of Meiliel as representatives for their homeland, her life takes a sudden turn. But is it for the better? Allura ventures out on a quest to destroy the one thing she fears most. Will she succeed, or will al her training as a Witch Hunter be in vain? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes: Thanks so much to https://www.wattpad.com/user/-interestinglythoy on Wattpad for the amazing cover! Ps. The universe and characters in this book all belong to me! I created them- some of the monsters are from greek mythology and some I also made up.
Fantasy / Adventure
Gemini Siannodel
The road to Meliel
Greetings! I'm Allura Zena Caprice, but please, do NOT go calling me that. Just call me Allura or if you're a very close friend of mine, feel free to call me Al. If you're reading this book, I'll have you know that you are extremely lucky because not only is it one of the few available copies in the entirety of Elden Earth, but it would also mean you survived.
What you survived I shan't yet reveal, for the horrors that have passed here are not something that can be explained in one ickle paragraph. No it is so much more than that, which is why I wrote this book - a book that puts you in the shoes of someone who came face to face with the very horrors that your parents tell you ghost stories of - the horrors you hear about in the old myths of the Changers. This book lets you see the world encased in darkness and chaos in my perspective. You'll read about the pain and sorrow that I faced, the torture and betrayal. Enough foreshadowing, let's start shall we?
So my story begins...
In the peaceful valleys of Angarath. The lands of the witching folk, my home. These lands were inhabited by sorcerers and sorceresses, magicians and alchemists but the most respected among our folk were the Witch Hunters. What are Witch Hunters you may ask? Well, they're just that - witches and wizards that hunt monsters and fight in battles. They're the warriors of Angarath, trusted greatly by our king to protect our valleys even if it meant putting their own lives in danger.
And that's what I am, a Witch Hunter. Armed with my bow, Hornet, and quiver and an additional magical staff. I'm the king's most trusted soldier and first in command in the battle ranks. Yes, a girl in the battle ranks. Someone has to break gender norms at some point right? All my life I've been training for a position as a hunter, knowing that it wouldn't come easily. My gender only made it harder. Being a girl, we're not thought of much. Men believe we should be cooped up in a small cottage baking pastries and cleaning the house, but as time went by and I became better and better - not even the king could deny my skills any longer.
And that brings me to where I am right now. Standing in the lookout tower at the edge of the Valley, watching for anything that could be a possible threat to my home. My second in command, Frewin Wood, was down on the grounds giving the trainees a hard time as per usual, his loud voice shouting commands at the newbies. I squinted slightly when I saw a vague figure approaching in the distance. A man astride a brown stallion neared the gates of the kingdom and looked up at me.
"What business does a man from the east have with the kingdom of Angarath?" I yelled down at him. "I wish to deliver a message my lady, from Meliel." The man answered and I gave him a curt nod. "Open the gates!" I yelled and jogged down the stairs of the tower coming to a stop in front of the man. "If you would follow me, I'll guide you to the throne room."
☁☁☁
I stood guard outside the king's throne room as he and the mysterious man conversed. I couldn't make out anything they were saying but then again it really had nothing to do with me. The quiet hum of their voices could be heard until a loud sound made me jump. "No! I will not..." The king's voice then went back to a quiet hum as he and the man continued to argue.
After a while the large wooden double doors that led into the throne room were opened by one of the king's servants. She turned her gaze to me and offered me a sweet smile. "The king calls for you my lady." She told me kindly and held the doors open for me to enter. "Thank you Arrodelle." I told her as I entered the room.
The room was made of pure white marble with thin Sienna brown lines running horizontally along the walls. Large cylinder pillars held up the roof on both sides of the room adding to the majestic quality. A crystal chandelier hung sparkling off the high ceiling casting lights on the dark wooden floor from the sun's rays. At the very end of the room was the king's throne. It was made of the finest wood in the valley, swirls and spirals carved into the extravagant headrest. Vines framed it with yellow blossoms growing from them.
My eyes landed on the two men standing in the center of the room and I turned my attention to the king. "You called for me My King?" I asked the older man formally. "Yes, Allura. The capital sent for two of my best soldiers to assist in a quest. Frewin and yourself will be leaving for Meliel tomorrow at first light. I'll be there to see you off." the king told me, a hint of remorse audible in his voice. "Alright My King, I'll inform Frewin immediately." I said before turning and walking back out the way I had entered.
Arriving at the training grounds I jogged up to Frewin. "Wood!" I called to him, halting his training. "Al! Is everything alright?'' he asked. Frewin was one of my closest friends around here, hence the nickname privileges. He was tall and muscular. His dark brown curly hair reaching to just above his ears. His eyes were an icy blue making them stand out against his Latino skin tone. "You and I are leaving for Meliel tomorrow at dawn. The capital have sent for us." I told him. "Oh...Any idea as to why?" he asked as a frown appeared upon his face.
"None, but I bet it's important. See you in the morning Wood!" I told him as I started making my way towards my house.
The next couple of days was going to be challenging and my life was about to change dramatically...

The Human Rights Watch Head Was Barred From Entering Hong Kong. Activists See Worrying Trend
By Amy Gunia / Hong Kong
Hong Kong authorities on Sunday prevented the head of Human Rights Watch from entering the city, where he planned to launch the organization's annual report spotlighting rights abuses across the globe.
Kenneth Roth, a U.S. citizen, said he was denied entry at the Hong Kong International Airport after arriving from New York. In response to his repeated questions, Roth said officials told him he was blocked for "immigration reasons."
"Sadly this episode is just the latest evidence that the Chinese government is doing everything it can to undermine the enforcement of international human rights standards," Roth said in a video on Twitter.
The 652-page report Roth was set to launch, World Report 2020, surveys the human rights practices of approximately 100 countries. This year's opening essay criticizes the Chinese government's "intensifying assault on the international rights system," according to Human Rights Watch.
Hong Kong Leader Says Semiautonomy Can Last Beyond 2047
China Poses an 'Existential Threat' to International Human Rights, Says Rights Group After Director Barred From Hong Kong
"I had hoped to spotlight Beijing's deepening assault on international efforts to uphold human rights," Roth said in a statement. "The refusal to let me enter Hong Kong vividly illustrates the problem."
The activist, who has previously visited the semi-autonomous enclave, will instead launch the report at a press conference at the United Nations in New York on Tuesday.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Hong Kong, where Roth was scheduled to speak, said it is "concerned that the Hong Kong government is using the immigration department to act punitively against organizations and media representatives it does not agree with, which is a violation of the commitment to free expression and free speech in Hong Kong law."
A Hong Kong government spokesperson did not immediately return request for comment, while Hong Kong's Immigration Department said it does not provide information on individual cases.
Roth's refused entry comes after China announced in December that it would slap sanctions on several NGOs based in the United States, including Human Rights Watch, in retaliation for legislation supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. Neither Beijing nor Hong Kong has provided further details of what those sanctions might entail, according to HRW.
Hong Kong has long been seen as a safe heaven for China-watchers and NGOs conducting work on the mainland. But activists, writers and academics critical of Beijing have increasingly been prevented from entering the territory, undermining the entrepôt's status as a neutral oasis.
"By denying entry to the head of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth, the Hong Kong authorities send a chilling message to international NGOs that monitor human rights in China," says Cédric Alviani, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) East Asia Bureau Head.
Since coming to power in 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping has clamped down on all forms of dissent, including jailing journalists, lawyers and human rights activists. The crackdown has reverberated across the Pearl Delta, and tested the endurance of Hong Kong's semiautonomous status.
In late 2018, Financial Times journalist Victor Mallet was effectively expelled from the city in a move that was widely seen as retribution for his hosting of an event with independence activist Andy Chan. Mallet was later barred from entering the city on a tourist visa.
In June 2019, a key leader of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing was refused entry to Hong Kong ahead of a memorial commemorating the 30th anniversary of the massacre.
American author Dan Garrett, who had testified before a U.S. congressional committee on the anti-government protests that have roiled the financial hub since June, was denied entry in Sept. 2018, ahead of expected protests on China's National Day. And a U.S. photographer who had covered the unrest was denied entry earlier this month.
According to rights groups, Beijing is actively trying to manipulate global opinions about its growing influence in the world by exporting its censorship model. Although Hong Kong has freedom of expression, the Chinese government is increasingly putting the territory under pressure by attempting to influence editorial content and spreading propaganda, according to a recent Committee to Protect Journalists' report.
Roth, in his statement, said his refusal of entry was the latest indication of Beijing's creeping repression. "China's efforts to interfere with the work of international groups like Human Rights Watch is a form of global censorship that governments should resist before it's too late."

Over two thousand international exhibitors, 142 aircraft and tens of thousands of visitors gathered at the Le Bourget exhibition center this week for the 49th International Paris Airshow. Despite some grey skies and unwelcome rain, crowds were treated to spectacular daily flying displays and insights into bleeding-edge aerospace technologies that will shape the way we travel around the planet - and beyond - in the 21st Century. Gizmag joined the throng of media organizations soaking up all that the show has to offer - here's our summary of the week in pictures.
The biennial Paris Airshow has a rich history that stretches back to 1909 and highlights of the 49th edition included the appearance of special guest Solar Impulse and Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, plus flying displays by the Airbus A380, Dassault Rafale and the Cri Cri electric plane. On the ground, EADS presented several thought-provoking concepts for future aircraft and innovators in aerospace materials and UAV technology were thick on the ground. Our pic of the show is Austria's D-Dalus - an "outside-the-box" flying machine currently in prototype phase that has the potential to revolutionize the UAV platform, and possibly even find passenger transit roles in the not too distant future.
The Paris Air Show is open to the public until June 26. Check the official site for further details.

The best charities are those that are run by people who have some life experience with the charities they run. Such is the case with Hazon Yeshaya, a soup kitchen and much, much more in Israel. Founded by Abraham Israel, a man who grew up poor after being expelled from Egypt. The family moved to France for three years and he spent his youth having to rely on Paris soup kitchens in order to survive. They family eventually made it to the US and Mr. Israel eventually made aliyah with his wife and seven children.
One day, he stumbled upon a woman in Israel who was starving. Drawing on his personal experience and compassion, he fed her and started with his own funds a soup kitchen to feel a mere 17 persons. From this grew the current operation which feeds over 400,000 people including 70% of whom are children. Mr. Israel draws no salary, compensation or bonuses. I am serious.
Hazon Yeshaya offers more than just food services. They offer dental care, vocational services, bar and bat mitzvah celebrations for orphans, school lunch distribution to students with no lunches or who have been identified as not having enough food for lunch, food and holiday meal packages delivered to needy Holocaust survivors, and a food and clothing salvage operation. Whew! Unbelievable!
Wait! You don't even know the best part. Well, maybe not the best part but the part that struck me. The part that made me even more proud than I already was. The food prepared for the school lunch distribution is FRESH! No canned, unhealthy, processed crap. Healthy fresh fruits and vegetables, and good old homemade Middle Eastern food!
We split into two groups and then switched half way through. One group cut tomatoes, peeled potatoes, and sliced potatoes. Over and over and over. The other group sorted tomatoes: good and usable tomatoes in the blue crates and bruised or spoiled tomatoes in the cardboard boxes. It was a wonderful project with which to be involved. Note that when you see the purple rubber bracelet on my wrist, it indicates that I volunteered there.
Out of respect for those who use the building for services, no pictures were taken.

• What is it? Rabies is a virus.
• How is it transmitted? Through contact with the saliva or brain matter of an infected animal. Contact with a break in your skin (scratch, cut, bite, etc), mouth, eyes or nose, where mucous membranes are present is of greatest concern.
• What does it affect? Rabies attacks our central nervous system, and is typically fatal.
• What animals can potentially carry this? All of the animals identified on the "Common Wildlife" page can potentially carry rabies. The good news is, the occurance in the majority of those species is very rare. There has been a large amount of concern regarding bats. In Iowa, one half of 1 percent of the Little Brown Bats tested have tested to be positive for rabies. The number one carrier of rabies in Iowa is none other than the Striped Skunk.
• What to do if bit by an animal? If you are bitten by any wild animal, wash the bitten area thoroughly with soap and water and contact a physician immediately. If possible, the animal involved should be captured or killed without damage to the head. If the animal must be killed, keep it refrigerated (not frozen) until it can be given to experts for examination.

Down on the farm: "I Wanna Hold Your Haaaaaand!"
I remember it like it was yesterday--the whole family gathered around our black and white TV much like we did EVERY Sunday night--Ed Sullivan!!. The Sunday roast leftovers had been made into sandwiches--toasted white bread, mustard, sliced homemade dill pickles provided the perfect sandwich crunch. We each had our own little plate--sandwiches like this are still the ultimate comfort food for me. We usually had chocolate milk as well. This particular Sunday carried with it the anticipation which had been building. The Beatles were coming!!! I was already the proud owner of a Beatles 45 record--"She Loves You" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". In light of the current technology, that turquoise and white square boxed hi-fi with the center spindle and round 45 record adapter unit which you had to wedge onto the spindle when you switched from 33 1/3 to 45 seems just short of cave man. But I remember listening to that record for hours and hours on my stomach in front of it watching it go around and around. My three best friends and I premiered later that winter as the Fab 4 in our weekly 5th grade talent show. I was Ringo--he was my favorite for a long time, obviously until I discovered Paul. We had wigs and lip synched. Great fun. We were a hit. Those same friends and I watched ALL the Beatles movies at the theatre on Friday night. I've been a fan for 50 years. I madly snapped photos a decade or so back of the pub in London where Linda met Paul. I reverently visited Strawberry Fields in Central Park in the 90's and painstakingly took pictures of my students, lying down heads to the center of the Imagine mosaic there. My classrooms have always sported some Beatles references--posters, biographies, bobble head dolls. Fifty years is a long long time to keep friends--especially ones you've never met and who are so very very famous at that. I looked around my fifth grade classroom the other day and determined where we would have stood during that talent show. The fact that my 50 year memories are connected to my year gives me warm feelings. So I'm just pausing to pay homage to you guys. Thanks. You're down by half. I'm so sorry about that. You had a good run, albeit brief. Rock on... You are truly in a class by yourself.
I still love Ringo the best. I loved the description of your record player and the 45's. My memories of 45's go hand in hand with the Fab Four. Good times.


"Sarah Barry is the most professional and caring faculty member I came across while at UA. Sarah acted as my professor, choreographer, and faculty adviser. Beyond that, Sarah helped me immensely in my academics and personal life because she truly cares about all of her students. I felt (and still do) that she was always on my side and very willing to help with any situation. I cannot imagine my career as a student being as successful without her.
Sarah was able to help me grow as a dancer. During my sophomore year, she gave me the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for a performance. I was able to take classes, watch the other performers, and learn many of the behind the scenes aspects of performance. Additionally, I had the privilege to work with Sarah on multiple pieces of her choreography. She puts 110% into all of her work. She is a fabulous choreographer to work with and every performer knows that they will grow and better themselves with each rehearsal and performance.
I also had the opportunity to take one of Sarah's dance academic courses. She is an incredibly professional teacher and always expects her students to do their best day in and day out. I learned a lot from her class because she was always well prepared and committed to our learning. She also made her class incredibly fun and interesting, which is not a characteristic everyone can posses.
