When Your Facebook Gets You As Crunked As Sugary Breakfast Cereal
by Maxwell Williams
Humans are addicted. We are addicted to so many things, but the addiction to our phones is perhaps the worst offender. It's hard to even drive your car without glancing down at the buzzing little perpetrator. We subject ourselves to constant stimuli, without even knowing what this dependency bodes for the future. Artist Rachel Lee Hovnanian already feels the fatigue, which she investigates with a new art exhibition, Plastic Perfect, at Leila Heller Gallery in New York.
"I've definitely become an addict, and I really feel the repercussions when I don't connect back to nature," Hovnanian tells me over the phone from New York. "I'm just as guilty, but I know that I need to unplug, otherwise, I'm going to become anxious."
The show consists of three imaginary—but very imaginable—situations, brought to life through realistic installations and photography. The show opens with "Perfect Baby Showroom," a science fiction-inspired set where babies rest in a nursery made of laboratory incubators, ready for parents to select their physical characteristics. From there, this "perfect baby" moves to another site-specific installation, "In Loco Parentis," where she perches in a highchair, eyes affixed to a screen while a giant white mouse eats whatever it likes from the refrigerator—everyone in this fictional household is too preoccupied with their devices to notice the mess.
The third section is a series of photographs, "Foreplay," which depicts couples in bed, paying attention to their phones rather than each other. Hovnanian acknowledges that this scene is nearly true. "Doing Instagram, I can't even look up from my phone," she says with a laugh. "I say, 'God, what am I doing?' It's not just Americans; our whole world has changed. So many things for the better—look, I'm talking to you all the way across the country—but now I'm finding I'll be having coffee in the morning, and I'm answering emails from China. All of a sudden, you don't have intimate time for those close to you. You're being interrupted all the time."
Hovnanian equates the feeling she gets regarding the overuse of technology to the original assumption that sugar cereal wasn't bad for you. In fact, she recalls believing that the sugar was actually marketed as an energy boost—as something that was good for you. "With marketing, we're told all these things, and we believe it," Hovnanian says. "Now they say, 'It's a lot of fun to have social media, and it will save you more time if you have email,' but I feel like I'm on a treadmill. I'm saying, 'Wait a minute, these are similar things that they're telling us, but meanwhile you see kids addicted to games at two years old.' Somebody I know, their first three words from their baby were, 'Mama, Dada, iPad.' Technology has done so many great things, but we don't know yet what's going to happen in the future."
Hovnanian feels like a lab rat. Tech companies continually pump out new products, and are just waiting for the results of the mass human experiment. "When they are doing tests, [they find] more marriages are unhappy, people are anxious, and I feel like it's saying, 'Look how fast this is happening, and they're testing us all,'" Hovnanian says. "We're so addicted to our technology. Are we happy like this? Do we need to pay attention to it?"
Rachel Lee Hovnanian, Plastic Perfect, will be on view at Leila Heller Gallery, 568 West 25th Street, New York until October 18th, 2014. The Instant Gratification pop-up will be open from September 18th through September 21st, 2014 at 452 West Broadway, New York.

We talk with actor David Harbour, who plays fan-favorite Sheriff Jim Hopper in Netflix's breakout original series Stranger Things. David discusses how he became attached to Stranger Things, and his reaction to its surprising success and intense fan adoration. We talk about the differences between acting for stage and screen, and the sudden spotlight after years of character work. And we realize just exactly which type of adventurer Sheriff Hopper would be in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign party.


One of my goals as an English Language teacher is to give my students plenty of time to practice their skills in conversational and academic English. We start every class with a routine which provides practice in both skills. I've recently added this little gem of a strategy to my repertoire, and I love the results I'm seeing!
We've all used photographs as prompts for speaking and writing tasks before, but have you ever segmented the picture? That's the basis of this strategy, and it can be used in so many ways! All you need is a picture! I tend to choose images I know my students will find thought-provoking or funny. I have a Pinterest board full of images I use as prompts- feel free to use them too! Once you have an image, the fun begins. If you're doing this digitally, a program like PowerPoint or an app like Pic Collage will help you create the layered boxes. All you'll do is insert the picture, then add three boxes on top of it, leaving one quadrant blank. If you're printing a picture, or using a magazine cut-out, just cover the quadrants with some white index cards.
In my small groups, I've been having students work on one quadrant at a time. For example, I'll show them the above image. In pairs, the students would discuss what they see, think, feel, (you can do hear/taste if applicable) and wonder about the quadrant. Then, using a PowerPoint slide projected on my whiteboard, I slide a box up or to the side to expose a new quadrant. The students switch partners, and they discuss again. Keeping the three quadrants covered creates an air of suspense and excitement, and allows my students to really focus their attention.
I use this as practice in making predictions, making observations using the senses, and discussing using academic language. By asking questions such as "What do you see/think/feel/wonder," and modeling the correct way to respond, my students can listen to and practice the fluent speaking they are working towards. Using this strategy, my students have learned how to explain their thinking using the academic language they need to be successful.
Divide the class into four groups, and assign each group a quadrant. Each group is responsible for writing three sentences (or however many works for your students) about their quadrant. Come back as a whole and work on merging the four sections together to create a cohesive tale.
Have you used this strategy with your class? I'd love to hear about it!


There is nothing quite as magical as waking up to a blanket of white snow and that is what happened this morning. As soon as I realised I started jumping around saying "It's snowed!" My Swiss boyfriend wasn't so excited – they are pretty much guaranteed snow every year but it is still a novelty to me.
What made it even more magical was that we bought our Christmas tree from a local farm last night. This has been a "tradition" for the past three years. We choose our tree, pay for it and get it packed up and then go inside to the small restaurant to have a Glühwein and eat Fondue until our sides split.
When we came back home last night, carrying the Christmas tree and full of wine and cheese, we had no idea that there was going to be a flurry of snow overnight. Yes, it was definitely cold enough to snow but in the hours that we were asleep we had no idea that the snow was gently coming down.
I was feeling so Christmas-y that I demanded that we decorate the tree as soon as possible. So that is what we did with some new lights, new baubles and a special ornament that we bought when we were on holiday in Spain earlier this year.
I love having a real tree at Christmas. It gives the place a bit more sprinkle of magic and You don't have to dismantle it and squeeze it back in the box for next year in January.
Have you already got your tree up? My next job to make me free ever more Christmas-y is to bake some mince pies to eat. Of course, I need to make sure that there is at least one spare to leave out for Santa in a week's time!
Today the city of Zürich celebrates the special and old tradition of Sechseläuten, and as a result, I am celebrating only having to spend a half day in the office!
The Sechseläuten tradition might seem a little bit odd, especially if you wander down to just outside the Opera House at 6pm today and don't realise what is happening. A snowman will be sitting proudly on top of a huge wood pile. But the snowman will not be smiling for long. At 6pm sharp – this is Switzerland after all – the wood is lit and the crowds will anxiously wait for the head of the snowman, which is packed full of firecrackers, to explode. It is said that the time it takes between the fire being lit and the head exploding will be an indication of how good the summer will be. The faster the time, the better.
The snowman (which in Swiss German is called the Böögg) represents winter and the ritual burning is a way to "get rid" of the winter and get ready for spring.
After the actual event, locals make use of the embers of the fire and grill sausages and meat before heading home. But only if the weather is good!
While working in Switzerland, I have only been to see the event live in 2016. My first job in Switzerland was outside of the city, so I had to work the full day. 2016 was a disastrous year. It was the first year for the new Bööggmeister (the man who builds the snowman), after the previous one had retired. It took the head 43 minutes and 34 seconds to explode, which was the longest time it has taken to explode on record. The weather was wet and it had rained the night before. When it became clear that the wood was not catching fire, the organisers began to pour petrol on it; otherwise, I have the feeling that we would still be waiting for the head to explode now.
For this reason, and even though I am free to go and watch the event in person, I will be staying away. I already have the feeling that I am a bit of a jinx because of the long time that was recorded in 2016. I will be watching from the safety of my sofa as the event will be covered live on Swiss TV.
Keep your fingers crossed that head explodes quickly and the summer will be good!
Good Luck for the year ahead!
Although I have been in Switzerland for New Year for the last three years, this year I learnt something new about what charms the Swiss think will bring good luck.
I went to a friend's house on New Year's Eve, where there was, what I can only describe as paraphernalia, to help predict what the year ahead will bring. This was a spoon, small bits of metal (which type I am not sure), a candle and a bowl of water. The basic idea is that you put a piece of the metal on the spoon and heat this over the candle. When the metal is melted, you pour the molten liquid into the water. The shape that the metal makes is then a prediction of what will happen to you for the next year. There is a small interpretation book provided, so you can check out the meanings.
My form looked like a rain drop or a meteor. These shapes weren't described in the interpretation booklet so I settle for on it looking like a ball. This means that I should play more sport in the upcoming year. This is probably a fair assessment and much more preferable than what the two other options could signify: namely, spending a lot more time in the rain or the end of the world as we know it is right around the corner.
I have never seen or heard of this before, but the kits are available in the local supermarkets. It was interesting to see how many different forms and shapes were made. Of course, it is just a bit of fun but at a party, it was an interesting ice-breaker.
I was also handed a miniature figure of a chimney sweep. Apparently, in Germany and Switzerland, the chimney sweep is a very lucky symbol – a bit like a four-leaf clover. I think that this was doubly lucky for me because I was given the figure by an actual chimney sweep.
So, I found out that a chimney sweep is good luck for purely pragmatic reasons. If a chimney was blocked, it meant that you would not be able to cook anymore and so you would have to get the chimney sweep to come round. Once the flue was cleaned, you could carry on eating again. Hurray! It also meant that there was less chance of the house catching fire because of the soot stuck in the chimney.
I think the connection is completely charming. It is a shame that this is a profession which is possibly in decline, as we tend not to have houses with fire places, as we did in the olden days. But through the giving of these charms the legend will live on for generations to come.
I am a firm believer in the phrase that you make your own luck, but it still nice to have a few good luck charms tucked away just in case.
This year I am flying back to the UK for Christmas. I have a feeling I will be missing out on a White Christmas in Switzerland but last year I missed out on a lot of traditions that we have in the UK.
There are quite a lot of differences between UK and Swiss traditions. Firstly, Santa Claus (or Samichlaus) doesn't come to Switzerland on Christmas Eve. He arrives on 6th December and he doesn't bring presents. He brings cookies and sweets to children who have been good and behaved themselves. For naughty children, there is a character called Smutzli (literally, "little dirty one"), who is dressed like Samichlaus but in black instead of red. He finds the naughty children and carries them off to the woods and beats them with a stick and they get given a piece of coal instead of sweets. No wonder Swiss children are so well behaved! I don't think the six-year-old me would have said boo to a goose, if I was threatened with corporal punishment instead of sweet treats.
The Swiss, and most other Europeans, have their presents delivered by Christkind (literally, "Christ child"). He normally arrives so that presents can be opened on 24th December. Why the person who delivers presents is called Christ child is anyone's guess but it seems to have something to do with the baby Jesus giving the gifts. What I don't understand is that Christmas is Jesus's birthday, so why is he giving gifts to everyone? I don't hand out vouchers for Amazon and Boots to my friends when it is my birthday. Shouldn't it be the other way around? And, if Christians are right and he was born to absolve us of our sins, then hasn't he given us enough anyway?
In the UK, our traditions are just a great big mash up of these traditions. Santa Claus, which must be a corruption of Samichlaus, Father Christmas and Saint Nicholas (who's Saint day is 6th December) are all the same person to us. I remember being told that if I wasn't good that I would get a piece of coal and no presents. I used to think that Santa must be very forgiving or completely senile because I never once found even the slightest trace of coal in my stocking on Christmas Day.
My first Swiss Christmas was great because of the whole variety of food that we had: Cheese Fondue with lashings of garlic on Christmas Eve, Mongolian Topf for Christmas Dinner and Fondue Chinoise for Boxing Day.
I know that this year I will most likely be eating the same meat (in our house normally beef or lamb) for the next 3 days in sandwiches, cold meat platters, curries etc. But that's ok because I am so looking forward to a lovely Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is basically a Sunday Roast on a more epic scale. I can't remember the last time I had a Sunday Roast. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
But even if the Roast is burnt and the Brussel sprouts have been boiled within an inch of their life and I don't get any Christmas presents because Santa has realised that I was actually very naughty in the summer of 1987, none of that really matters. What matters is the people sat round the table, the laughter that echoes around the house and the memories that we make together.
I'm not going to lie: the best thing about Christmas for an adult is not having to work or not having to work as much. Although I will be working between Christmas and New Year, I will have a lot less to do and won't be under as much stress as the rest of the year. I sometimes find it a lot easier to get things done that I have been putting off for the end of the year and I can get myself ready for January, which, working in Finance, is always a busy time.
Being able to stay inside without having to feel that you have to make an excuse to justify it. The weather is cold. It might be raining or snowing. This is the one time of the year when I can stay indoors and no one tells me that I should be outside and getting some fresh air. It's nice and cosy inside and I like the feeling of know that I can lounge about and not feel guilty for not exercising for a few days of the year.
Christmassy smells. Clementines, cinnamon, real Chrismtas trees, mulled wine. Nothing smells as good as Christmas.
Asking someone what they would like for Christmas and them shrugging their shoulders and saying "Dunno. I don't really want/need anything". In fairness, I say this as well but it can add some pressure when you have no idea what to give someone and they also have no idea. I guess it means that you have no expectations to live up to but you can still end up disappointing someone.
Commercialism. This was summed up for me about 2 weeks ago on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. I am not talking about the Chanel, Louis Vitton and Rolex shops with their overpriced wares in the shop window (but they are overpriced and completely unjustifiable to any normal people, not just at Christmas but throughout the year). There is a sign on the street that changes every day. It's 5 letters long and a different word appears each day. Two weeks ago, it simply send "SPEND". I wanted to think that this was a tongue-in-cheek assessment of the time of year but I doubt that very much. To me, it was a declaration of what companies and businesses want consumers to do in the run up to Christmas.
Having to feel happy. Christmas is not a happy time for everyone and it can bring sadness with it. An empty chair at the dinner table is a stark reminder of someone who is no longer here to share in the memories or a phone call never made to someone who we love but, for one reason or another, we are no longer talking to are two examples of occasions which can cause us to reflect and bring us sadness. We focus so much on what we want that it can make us focus on what we have lost and are unable to regain.
Home Alone. The ultimate and the best.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Steve Martin in his prime and a hilarious John Candy. Just thinking about this films makes me feel emotional.
Love Actually. I think I have cried from the beginning, when Hugh Grant talks about love in airports all the way through to the end, when Bill Nighy is baring his backside because his song was Christmas Number 1.
A warmed mince pie smoothered with brandy butter.
Cheese board. My mum always buys a cheeseboard, although she says that she never knows why because no one ever eats it all. And it is always the same cheese that is left to the very end in our household. Wendsleydale with Cranberries always goes first and then the Red Leicester. But there is nothing as decadent as going to raid the fridge during the Christmas period and sitting down to watch a film with a selection of cheeses, pickled onions and a few crackers.
An alcoholic drink that I never normally drinking during the rest of the year. Perhaps it will be a Bailey's this year, or a Brandy or something completely different that has been lurking in the back of my mum's cupboard all year.
Eating and drinking so much that I fall in front of the TV while watching a film. This happens every year. I normally wake up when someone decides to change the channel and I tell them not to because I was watching it!
Having a buffet dinner on Christmas Eve night. Normally my mum put on a big spread with crisps, sandwiches, dips and party food. Just what you need before going to bed to wait for the Big Man to arrive on the next day.
Leaving a mince pies out for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph. We always left something out and I was a bit sad when I grew up and I couldn't do this any more. Now my niece and nephew are a bit older, the tradition is back up and running. I'm really looking forward to leaving the treats out for Santa and I might be fighting my brother for the dram of whisky that we leave out for him.
The FairyTale of New York – The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl. This reminds me of the Christmas we spent in Tenerife, when my and my brother (both quiet inebriated) sang this at karaoke and brought the house down – at least that was my recollection.
Last Christmas – Wham. I always loved this song, now it makes me a bit sad because George Michael died on Christmas Day but I still love it.
My mountain bike – I can't remember how old I was but I really want a mountain bike. I came downstairs very confident that I would see my bike because I had been such a good girl that year. When I didn't see it, I burst into tears. The bike was actually in the garage because my parents hadn't wanted to bring it into the house. I knew I had been a good girl all along.
My CD player and Gladiators CD – again I have no idea how old I was but I was thrilled to get my CD player. The added bonus was the Gladiators CD that I found in the bottom of my stocking. If you don't know what Gladiators was, it was THE best programme on Saturday night and was on after Baywatch and before Blind Date, I think. I always had ambitious to go on that show. Alas, it was cancelled well before I was eligible to go on the show.
My cash till. I played for hours and hours, and I mean hours and hours, with that till. I used to get my mum's shopping out and till everything up. This was when barcodes weren't widely used and the sticker was on the tin or packet. I also made cheque books and credit cards and I used to make my brother pretend to be customers. No wonder I ended up working in Finance. I have loved money for a long time.
Understanding. I think, if people were able to understand other people's cultures, lives and motivations that the world would be a better place to live it. Often people are misunderstood or people have no intention of understand and learning about other people and their cultures. Also understanding of our effect on other's and the planet is something that I would gift, if I could. Although we think that we are so advanced in our understanding today, it many areas, I feel that we understand very little.
An appreciate of Health. Although health care and medical breakthroughs seem to be on the rise, lots of people forget that without your health you have nothing. How many people are stress out and not able to enjoy life? How many people give their own health second priority? Without our health and access to health care, we wouldn't be here and that is a very limiting factor if we want to achieve things.
Fun. Far to often, the fun of life is weaned away from us. As we grow up, we are programmed to have less fun. Children today have fun snatched away from them too soon in their childhood. I blame Health and Safety mostly. Life should be fun because we are only here once. We might as well have fun while we are here.

Watch live and catchup TV for free on your PC or laptop. Here's how.
Smart Home How-To
How to watch TV on your laptop or PC
Watching TV on your laptop or PC is easier than you might think. Whether you have an internet connection or not, we show you how to make it happen.
You can watch live TV as well as on-demand shows on your laptop, phone and other devices
By Jim Martin, Editor | 29 Jan 2019
Watching live TV on your laptop or PC is completely legal, providing you have a TV licence if you're in the UK. There are two ways to do it: via an app or your web browser, or by attaching a USB TV tuner if you don't have an internet connection.
The first way is free, but you'll have to spend some cash to buy a TV tuner. Fortunately, they can be picked up from Amazon for as little as a tenner.
Best online TV apps
If you're at home and for some reason can't watch live TV on your actual TV set, then it makes sense to use your broadband rather than spending money on a USB tuner dongle.
The quickest way to watch the core five channels is to open a web browser and type in www.tvcatchup.com and then click on the channel you want to watch. It will start streaming immediately and, because it's live TV, you'll see whatever is being broadcast currently.
Despite the name, it doesn't offer any kind of catchup service - it's live TV only. And you must be in the UK for it to work, or use a VPN.
In total TVCatchup offers around 30 channels including BBC One, Two, ITV, Channel 4, 5, BBC News, CBBC, Cbeebies, BBC4, Quest and various others.
But if you want to watch Dave, ITV 2 and other channels, TVCatchup isn't going to help you. In that case, turn to TVPlayer.com. You'll have to create a free account first, but you'll then have access to over 60 channels, completely free. But you can pay an extra £6.99 per month to get additional channels including Eurosport, Disovery, SyFy, MTV, Comedy Central and more.
This Premium subscription also lets you access the HD streams where available, removes advertising and lets you watch shows on demand.
As well as watching TV via TVPlayer in your web browser, there are also apps for your phone and tablet - and you PC and laptop if you prefer not to use a browser.
There are apps for both websites which let you access the same TV channels on your phone or tablet.
Most channels have their own app, and most of those are available for your PC, laptop, phone and tablet. Virtually all now require you to sign up for an account, but the payoff is that your activity is synced across devices - including smart TV apps - so you can see what you've already watched and which episode you're halfway through.
Here are links to some of the most popular ones, including links to their websites where you can watch in a browser:
BBC iPlayer (All BBC channels): Android / iOS / web browser
ITV Hub (All ITV channels): Android / iOS / web browser
All 4 (All Channel 4 channels): Android / iOS / web browser
My5: Android / iOS / web browser
UKTV Play (Dave / Really etc) : Android / iOS / web browser
How to watch TV without an internet connection
The second option will cost you more initially, but could be better suited for you if you don't have an unlimited or fast broadband connection.
You will need to buy a TV tuner for your laptop or PC. These cost about £10-£30 / US$10-30 and are relatively easy to install if you opt for an USB model.
The Andoer tuner below costs just £9.97 from Amazon and comes with a remote control.
The tuner above won't let you watch in HD, but at the top end of the scale, Hauppauge's WinTV-dual HD packs in two tuners so you can record one channel while watching another. It costs £64.95 from Amazon.
The downside to watching TV on your laptop or PC this way is that you're reliant on the Freeview signal wherever you are. But if happen to be near a socket that's connected to your building's roof TV aerial, then signal shouldn't be an issue. (But we'd wonder why you didn't just turn on your TV set and watch that instead.)
USB TV tuners should come with a compact aerial, but you'll need to attach it to a metal object such as a radiator or the roof of your car to get the best possible signal.
Once you've plugged in the tuner and installed the software that came with it, you'll be prompted to scan for channels - just like a regular TV - and then you can choose a channel and start watching.

TV tuners for phones & tablets
If you want to watch live TV on your phone or tablet but not use up your monthly data allowance, it is possible to buy a TV tuner. Obviously, a USB model isn't going to work, so you need a Wi-Fi model that's compatible with your phone or tablet.
For iPhones and iPads, Elgato's EyeTV connects to a Lightning port, but is pricey at £69.99.
A cheaper option which works on both Android and iOS is August's DVB-T405. It's £39.99 from Amazon.

There was a time when humanity looked in the mirror and saw something precious, worth protecting and fighting for — indeed, worth liberating. But now we are beset on all sides by propaganda promoting a radically different viewpoint. According to this idea, human beings are a cancer upon the Earth, a species whose aspirations and appetites are endangering the natural order. This is the core of antihumanism.
Merchants of Despair traces the pedigree of this ideology and exposes its deadly consequences in startling and horrifying detail. The book names the chief prophets and promoters of antihumanism over the last two centuries, from Thomas Malthus through Paul Ehrlich and Al Gore. It exposes the worst crimes perpetrated by the antihumanist movement, including eugenics campaigns in the United States and genocidal anti-development and population-control programs around the world.
Combining riveting tales from history with powerful policy arguments, Merchants of Despair provides scientific refutations to antihumanism's major pseudo-scientific claims, including its modern tirades against nuclear power, pesticides, population growth, biotech foods, resource depletion, industrial development, and, most recently, fear-mongering about global warming. Merchants of Despair exposes this dangerous agenda and makes the definitive scientific and moral case against it.


Formerly known as Kiss Me, blinc is the original mascara invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, these beauty tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes. Whether your daily activities take you from the office, to your sweaty workout and then out to dinner, your lashes will look as good in the evening as they did when you first applied blinc in the morning.
I love, love this mascara. I really detest mascara that flakes so you get black specks on your face and in your eyes. This mascara stays put, does not smear. I had to adjust how I apply mascara as it dries pretty quick, but it looks fantastic. And the colors are so much fun! I have all of them. Wish they had grey though.
I LOVE BLINC MASCARA! Not only does it do away with the black smudges under the eye, it lengthens the eyelashes like no other. It stays on when out in the Texas heat watching sports and that says something about how good the product really is. I have women ask me quite often what kind of mascara I use. It has to look good for someone to ask. The dark brown is just slightly lighter than the black, so I use it when I'm outside, saving the black for work and evenings. WONDERFUL PRODUCT!
This is the only mascara that I can wear. My eyes tear so others always end up as circles around my eyes. I love it.
I have extremely sensitive skin and this is the only mascara I can use. It's amazing.
Love this mascara, I think my lashes are finally growing... and it does not come off until I take it off!!!!
good waterproof...different than anything else. like it!
Love this mascara. It stands up to hard work behind sunglasses.
Application: You apply blinc like a regular mascara. It is important that you do not use conditioners, lotions, etc... before applying the mascara. blinc requires a dry, clean surface in order to adhere properly to your lashes. It takes blinc about 2 minutes to set and begin forming the tiny "tubes" around your lashes. Do not let it set before applying another coat in order to build...keep adding coats until you are satisfied with the volume, length and degree of lash separation before blinc mascara sets. Once it sets, you can no longer build.
Removal: Only when you are ready, blinc can easily be removed with a combination of warm water and gentle pressure. Pressure alone is not enough, and water alone is not enough. It must be a combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure - for example taking a shower, will make the tiny tubes effortlessly slide off your lashes. You will actually see the tiny beauty tubes in your hand. Nothing oily can make blinc come off...not even if you have really oily skin.

Orange Blossom & Olive Oil Gelato | This post was sponsored by Pompeian. All opinions expressed on my site are my own.
It can be said that I am obsessed with oranges. Seriously obsessed. I've been known to eat 3 to 4 oranges at a time.
Mainly because I love them but, also because I can never decide how to eat an orange. So, I eat three in one sitting and eat each one a different way.
I know it makes me sound a little crazy, but we are all a little nutty in different ways.
I think my obsession may have started when I lived in Florida. I have always enjoyed oranges but when I lived in central Florida I because obsessed.
The other day while I ate a chilled fresh orange I remembered I use to work downwind from an orange orchard. At the start of summer, the fragrance of orange blossom would fill the air.
That's when it hit me, orange blossom gelato. And my brain kept churning like an ice cream maker. Citrus olive oil cakes are awesome and olive oil ice cream is also awesome so, foodie math would dictate that orange blossom and olive oil gelato would be amazing.
I thought that since Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a full-bodied flavor with fruity notes it would be ideal for making this ice cream. This extra virgin olive oil is extremely low in acidity, yet has a spicy and bitter character. A perfect pairing for orange blossom.
I will tell you right now it was delicious. Perfectly creamy with a hint of citrus. The olive oil amplifies the creaminess while still maintaining a clean mouthfeel.
I decided to make a gelato instead of an ice cream because ice cream is fattier then gelato and I wanted to be sure this dessert remained delicate like an orange blossom.
An ice cream recipe is custard based and is made with typically about five egg yolks, unlike gelato which will typically have one egg yolk. I based my recipe on a Sicilian gelato recipe that also uses cornstarch as a thickening agent. The result is a very light and creamy gelato that is perfect for summer.

In a heavy-bottom medium saucepan combine 1 1/4 cups of the milk, heavy cream, olive oil, and vanilla bean heat over medium heat until bubbles appear around the edge of the saucepan and mixture and is about to boil.
In a small bowl combine remaining 1 cup milk, sugar, honey, orange blossom water, and cornstarch into a small bowl, whisk until well combined. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in cornstarch mixture. Return saucepan to heat and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture thicken slightly about 8-10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
Add egg yolk into a medium bowl and whisk until slightly thickened. Slowly add 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolk, whisking constantly. Slowly add mixture back into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan, whisking until well combined.
Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a storage container with lid and place in the freezer for 1 hour.

One of my highest aspirations in life was realized on April 14, 2012, when I walked down the aisle, clutching my dad's arm, and with a trembling voice, became David's wife. I feel my fullest when I'm doing just that: being a wife. Our schedules, however, can make it difficult to perform my favorite wifely duty (no, not that one) of cooking a full dinner to share with my beloved. Davey the Hubbers is only at home with me at mealtime a maximum of two nights per week… of which they rotate weekly with little notice. As such, meal planning is difficult, and typically I end up cooking dishes to feed the von Trapps for just myself. Lately, with a long commute now part of my routine, DTH has been cooking dinners on his nights off. He likes to freeform in the kitchen and likes to serve me in that way since I've been working all day.
Preheat oven to 375. In a small glass dish, combine strawberries, vinegar and brown sugar until berries are coated. Roast for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and roughly mash. Set aside and allow to cool. Lower oven temperature to 350. Cream butter and shortening together. Add sugar and mix completely. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Stir dry ingredients together in a bowl and add to mixer alternately with milk, starting with the flour and ending with the flour. Mix in vanilla. Pour half of batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Add half of strawberry mixture, swirling into batter. Add half of the remaining batter, then add remaining strawberries, swirling again with a knife to incorporate. Add final portion of batter. Bake 75-90 minutes until cake is golden and set.

Kaiser-Wilhelmsland
Not to be confused with Kaiser Wilhelm II Land.
Kaiser-Wilhelmsland formed part of German New Guinea (German: Deutsch-Neuguinea), the South Pacific protectorate of the German Empire. Named in honour of Wilhelm I,[1] who reigned as German Emperor (Kaiser) from 1871 to 1888, it included the northern part of present-day Papua New Guinea. From 1884 until 1920 the territory was a protectorate (German: Schutzgebiet) of the German Empire.[2] Kaiser-Wilhelmsland, the Bismarck Archipelago (including New Mecklenburg and New Pomerania), the northern Solomon Islands, the Caroline Islands, Palau, Nauru, the Mariana Islands, and the Marshall Islands comprised German New Guinea.

Most of the German settlers in Kaiser-Wilhelmsland worked as plantation owners, miners, or government functionaries; the number of European settlers, including non-Germans, was never very high. In 1885, Lutheran and Catholic congregations sent clergy to establish missions; they experienced moderate, but very slow, success with the indigenous peoples. Missionaries and plantation owners alike were limited by tropical diseases and by travel and communication barriers.
The Germans never fully explored the protectorate, though in 1914 the Imperial German Government mounted an expedition to explore and map the interior. Lutheran missionaries were frequently the first Europeans to explore the interior and to examine the different fauna and flora.
Following the outbreak World War I in July 1914, Australian troops quickly overran the German protectorate (September to November, 1914) and it came under Australian military administration. In accordance with the settlements ending World War I, from 1920 the Commonwealth of Australia, a British dominion, administered Kaiser-Wilhelmsland as part of the Territory of New Guinea, a League of Nations mandate.

The coastline of the northern and eastern portions of New Guinea had been charted by navigators in the early 17th century, and the visible mountain ranges named by British admiralty navigators later in the century. Most German surveying efforts had focused on coastal regions and river basins, where Germans had established plantations. The boundary between Papua and Kaiser Wilhelmsland had been established by a joint British-German expedition in 1909; the interior had not been mapped. Since then, Papuan gold prospectors had crossed into German territory which, from the German perspective, made the accuracy of the border essential.[3]
1870–1880Edit
In the 1870s and 1880s German commercial firms began to site trading stations in New Guinea. Agents of J.C. Godeffroy & Sohn reached the Bismarck Archipelago from the Caroline Islands in 1872. In 1875 Hernsheim & Company[4] moved to the Archipelago.

In 1884, the German New Guinea Company was founded in Berlin by Adolph von Hansemann and a syndicate of German bankers for the purpose of colonising and exploiting resources on Neu Guinea (German New Guinea),[5] where German interest grew after British Queensland's annexation of part of eastern New Guinea. This expedition was with the knowledge and blessing of the German Chancellor, Count Otto von Bismarck, and with secrecy and speed an expedition was fitted out under Dr Otto Finsch, ornithologist and explorer.
His task was to select land for plantation development on the north-east coast of New Guinea and establish trading posts. Its influence soon grew to encompass the entire north-eastern part of New Guinea and some of the islands off the coast.
The Neuguinea Compagnie expedition left Sydney for New Guinea in the steamer Samoa captained by Eduard Dallmann. On 19 August, Chancellor Bismarck ordered the establishment of a German protectorate in the New Britain Archipelago and north-eastern New Guinea.
In 1885 and 1887, Johann Flierl established missionary stations in Simbang and Timba Island. After malaria epidemics in 1889 and again in 1891 killed almost half of the European settlers on the coast in Finschhafen, many of the Europeans moved toward Friedrich Wilhelmshafen (now Madang). Flierl established a Mission station at the Sattelberg, 700 metres (2,297 ft) in the highlands. In 1890 and 1891, he built the Sattelberg Mission Station there and constructed a road approximately 24 kilometres (15 mi) between the station and the Finsch harbour (Finschhafen), which cut the travelling time from three days to five hours.[6]
German colonial rule in New Guinea lasted for a period of thirty years, For the first fifteen years the colony was administered under imperial charters by a private company, in the manner of the old British and Dutch East India company, but with far less success. From 1899 to 1914, the Imperial Government administered German New Guinea through a governor, who was assisted after 1904 by a nominated Government Council.
When the Imperial Government took over the running of the colony in 1899, its over-riding objective was rapid economic development, based on a German- controlled plantation economy.[5]
In April 1911, Dr Wegener,[7] director of the Meteorological Observatory in Apia, stated he was on his way to German New Guinea, to make preliminary arrangements for a series of journeys by balloon across the mainland, the purpose of which was to make aerial surveys.[5][8]
In late 1913, the Imperial Colonial Office appointed Hermann Detzner to lead an expedition to survey the border between the British protectorate, called Papua, and the German territory and to survey and map the interior. Detzner, an Austrian, was a military surveyor.[9]
The expedition set off along the Langimar-Watut divide, and travelled by raft down the Watut River to its junction with the Markham River, and on to the Lutheran Mission station at Gabmadzung (near the Lae Nadzab Airport[5]).

German hotel at Herbertshöhe (Kokopo) on New Pomerania, circa 1912. The small German colony in Herbertshöhe capitulated to the Australian troops by mid-September 1914.
On 4 August 1914, Britain declared war on Germany. As World War I spread to the Pacific, Australian troops invaded German New Guinea, taking the German barracks in Herbertshöhe (present day Kokopo) and forcing the defending German colonial troops to capitulate on 21 September after their defeat at Bita Paka.
On 6 August 1914, residents of the Protectorate were notified by proclamation that a state of war existed between Germany, and England, France and Russia. During this time Detzner continued surveying and avoiding allied forces.
On 11 November 1918, Detzner was advised that the war had ended and surrendered himself at Finschafen complete with sword and sun helmet. He was interned at Sydney and returned to Germany.[5]
Main article: History of Papua New Guinea
In 1918, Kaiser Wilhelmsland and the other territories that comprised German New Guinea (New Pomerania and the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago) were administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. Beginning in 1920, Australia, under a mandate from the League of Nations, governed the former German territory of New Guinea. It was administered under this mandate until the Japanese invasion in December 1941. Most of the territory of New Guinea, including the islands of Bougainville, and New Britain, was occupied by Japanese forces before recapture during the final months of the war in the Australian-American New Guinea campaign.
Natural featuresEdit
Further information: Geography of Papua New Guinea
Quaternary glaciers created much of the topography of Kaiser-Wilhelmsland. Recent studies suggest Mount Wilhelm held approximately 65 square kilometres (25 sq mi) of glacial ice.[10] Further north, closer to the Equator, the glaciers left behind large rubble fields.[11]
The territory of Kaiser-Wilhelmsland was largely mountainous, with Mount Wilhelm 4,509 metres (14,793 ft) the highest peak of the Hagan Range, which separated the protectorate from the British Papua. There are several major rivers, notably the Sepik River 1,126 kilometres (700 mi) which drops from the Highlands and winds through lowland swamp plains to the north coast.
The Markham River flows 180 kilometres (112 mi) from the Finisterre Range and ends in the Huon Gulf. The Huon Peninsula, named for the French explorer Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec, has raised beaches, usually created by the combination of tectonic coastal uplift and quaternary sea-level fluctuations. The Saruwaged massif, with its twin peaks of Bangeta and Saruwaged, dominate the Saruwaged Range; rugged and steep, the massif reaches 4,000 metres (13,123 ft), and is surrounded by jungles at its base.
Indigenous populationEdit
Near Mount Hagen, archaeologists have identified the Kuk Swamp (5°47′1.36″S 144°19′54.2″E / 5.7837111°S 144.331722°E / -5.7837111; 144.331722), one of the oldest agricultural drainage sites in Australasia; the site has been identified as a UNESCO site, and is on the list of recommended World Heritage sites.
Linguistic features suggest the origins of the population. Along the southeast coast and in the Markham Valley, the Austronesia family of languages predominate. The two main languages were Kâte and Yabim, with Kâte spoken in the mountainous hinterlands and Yabim on the coastal areas, particularly on coast of the Huon Peninsula. The Non-Austronesia languages are heard most commonly in the mountain regions.

Liberals Committed to Saudi Arms Deal Even After Concerning UN Report, Dion Says
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/liberals-committed-to-saudi...
"Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion said the Liberal government remains committed to a contract to sell $15-billion in weaponized armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia even in the face of a new UN report documenting human-rights violations by a Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen.
'We respect the contract,' he told reporters Thursday morning after a speech in Ottawa.
The Trudeau government has faced repeated requests to justify the shipment of weapons to Saudi Arabia, a country notorious for its treatment of women, dissidents and prisoners.
The Liberals promised during the election campaign that they would revise Ottawa's approach to international relations to improve this country's reputation on the global stage, and marketed this change as 'Canada's back'.
It never left.
I'm still optimistic that Trudeau meant Chretien's success in keeping us out of the Iraq war to begin with. But I have to remain realistic enough to understand that what has been built by the Harper government over 10 years, can't be torn down and thrown in the garbage heap of history overnight. You do obviously, but it's mostly your politics that cause you to think so.
None of you want to talk about or even acknowledge how Obama stopped his own country's PNAC plannned wars with both Syria and Iran when he stood at such great odds against him by his entire country. And none of you seem to understand that he indeed did accompllish that much.
So until you do then it's hopeless to convince any of you to try to understand how Trudeau is of the same headspace as Obama is on the antiwar agenda we so much mutually favour.
If that's the way you want to leave it then you keep on doing what you're doing and I'll keep on criticizing you and others for doing it. Makes bloody little difference to me or in the scheme of things.
Let`s be real here...the reason Canada refuses to stop the contract is because Canada is up against the wall economically...for its energu and mining profits down the tube...masses of ongoing unemployment.....so aerospace is critical industry for Canada`s exports!
An unfavourable opinion of the new government will freak the industry!
But it`s not a matter of when but now, we must increase the pressure on the government to overwhelm the power of the aerospace lobby...sure it will hurt bigtime to the government...so force them 1. to not bailout the finance industry as it fails and 2 drastically reduce the military budget, amongst a long series of necessary reforms...which I won`t bother you with here...
how to put on the pressure is the question.....legal actions in Canada are a must! International pressure on Canada likewise is a must, for Canada`s refusal to sign the arms treaty...we cannot play with the economic problems facing Canada to reject the treaty....
morality and principle cannot be played with!

yes the MPs our august body of political authorities are criminals...and we must await the opportunity and timing to pthe Saudis they pulled a NDPer saying that the contract must be respected (how about the contracts for the gas chambers of Nazi Germany?)...but with the new Liberal twist saying they are prepared to revisit the issue if?
So how about the negotiations for contracts with Qatar, likewise a patron of some of the invading forces into Iraq and Syria, not to mention Libya!
¨business is business¨ ...I remain confused about Canada´s stabilizing dollar on international markets, despite the ongoing crash of oil, commodities and finances...could it just be the global capitalists support for the liberal government´s weapons policy?, which of course they are prepared to revisit, when the people are crashing the door of Parliament Gates!

I get it kropotkin but I don't get how you come off saying that Trudeau is killing people. In fact, Canada isn't even killing people in Saudi. More like Canada is complicit in the killing of people in Saudi. There 'is' a distinction. which makes the NDP complicit too.
As for my age, you don't know how old I am because you didn't ask me and I didn't need to give you an answer on whether or not I voted for the CCF because you were afraid to ask, considering that you already proclaimed that I was in my 80S and then told us all how you are intuitive and can figure these things out.
Back on topic: You seem to think that the Liberal government can change things overnight from what took Harper ten years to create. It's unrealistic, although desirable. But ti's an extemeist agenda that Canadians aren't ready to adopt. They're far from pulling out of Nato and far from stopping the ignorant naming of the US as our best buddies. You people must learn that progress comes slowly. Chretien made huge progress on keeping us out of the 2003 Iraq war but even then he was mercilessy bashed upon by the hawks in Canada as well as we suffered economic blackamiail from the US. And that was in a political climate in which US sucking up was much less.
Imagine, a boy P.M. with good hair and good looks and all the other attributes the Cons and the NDP label him with, upsetting the ties our country has with Nato for all those years!! He can't and he won't. Justice in one sense for the demeaning he's received. I know, I know, you want it all right now, but it ain't gonna happena and it never has. What does succeed is supporting of a party's agenda that offers some change and I think you know that.
Look at the stir that is currently being caused by the Liberal's position on support of US wars. Would Trudeau continue to suffer this kind of flak if it wasn't necessary? If trading the apparent support for the US led wars for the 6 bombers being puled out didn't make a huge visual difference then why would he be sticking to it?
Monty:
I doubt NATO or Canada-US relations have a lot to do with the Saudi arms deal. The deal was likely undertaken at the behest of the company that made the vehichles, not Brussels or Washington. So, the Liberals probably COULD cancel it, without having to endure bashing from US hawks and economic blackmail.
I guess we just have to disagree because I tend to read more than just the MSM and its NATO shills. Canadian bombs are killing civilians and he promised to end the airstrikes. It was lies like that one which led to his election as a progressive. The blood of the civilians killed since he has been in office is blood on his hands.
As for your age you started the age thing by talking down to people like Sean with phrases like "young fella." It seems you dish it out but then want to whine and moan when someone calls you on it. So if you are not lying about supporting the CCF then you are at least 78 years old. Since I presume the honesty of that personal information I will feel free to note you are in your late '70's anytime I want to. So when did your conversion to the forces of the dark side occur?
Feel free to say I am in my mid-sixties any time you feel like it. My handle says it all about my age.
Since Trudeau's election, Canada has bombed Iraq on 52 separate occasions (including February 3, 2016). Canada's military has been dropping 500-lb. bombs on the Iraqi people (and sometimes in Syria) since November, 2014. Trudeau promised he would the bombing upon election. In the first week of December, Stephane Dion stated the bombing would end "within weeks." Two months later, it continues unabated.
Because there is no concern for civilian casualties amongst the bombing powers, there is no effort to link specific acts of bombing to those killed by them. In fact, most governments insist there have been no civilians killed.This chart is based on information provided by Canada's own War Dept. and airwars.org; it indicates which countries bombed the same location on particular days when reports of civilian casualties were gathered.

Former Liberal Minister Calls For Review of Saudi Arms Deal

Lloyd Axworthy, who served as foreign minister between 1996 and 2000 under prime minister Jean Chretien, remains influential in Liberal circles..."
Well, if he really felt that strongly about it, he could have said something during the campaign, when the Liberals were promising that the deal would go ahead.
And yes yes. I'm not naive. I know full well that politicians usually try to avoid bashing their own party during a campaign. Just as long as we're not kidding ourselves about where Axworthy ranks "moral commitment" in relation to "winning elections".
The immediate spin on this, and the most important from my POV is the screaming and gnashing of teeth that will be heard over it. In essence, to be quite candid about it, it's already started by you in a rather novel way by starting to demonize Axworthy. Rather than start off with a positive and supportive stance.
I know, I know, politics are the most important thing, both with Axworthy's and the NDP's.
In any case, it's big news when any Liberal starts to dick around with arms commitments to Saudi! What will America think??

As for the bombing, aren't we talking about Saudi? Yes, it is 100% true that Canadian bombs are killing people in other countries but that's another topic. We should continue with that one too.
I wasn't demonizing Axworthy. I was just saying that his complaints about the arms-deal are a little belated.
Yes, I can accept that. But you didn't sound very positive and my main point is, that's what's needed. Any possible inroads we get need to be picked up and ran with. I would/will never hesitate to do that with any NDP initiatives that are mentioned that are positive antiwar. And if Trudeau doesn't support such then that will be eliciting my firmest condemnation.
Having said that, 'providing their suggestions are practical', and that's where we may differ.
I will post this here rather than the 'Yemen' thread, not only because Saudi is the chief perpetrator of the monstrous crimes being perpetrated there, but because, as accomplices, the West and its media has largely made it disappear. Since Canadian 'progressives' are still largely unaware or uninterested in Yemen, but somewhat less so with Saudi Arabia, perhaps this will help...

okay. here´s my suggestion...that we poll all the MP´s or as many ridings as we represent to get their opinion on the deal....or of course if any votes come up in Parliament.......then to pass it around...say to any judicial bodies representing the recent international Treaty on limiting arms sales...to the World Council of elected MPs etc., with notification to our MP´s that their opinion has been noted, with international legal action to commence when appropriate, and that we ask populist and progressive forces in other countries, to ban admission of these complicit MPs into their country, or potentially face arrest and detention for complicity for crimes against humanity......

Yemen: UK Parliamentary Committee Calls for Halt to Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia, Moots International Inquiry into Alleged International Law AbusesBy Felicity ArbuthnotGlobal Research, February 06, 2016
I like the idea. I hope people take it to heart when Trudeau says that he understands how people have to be educated to strive for a better life. I don't take it as a copout by a wealthy guy who doesn't understand the problems of society by a guy who understands social responsibility and wants to help with our problems of the poor, homeless, and disadvantaged. The opposite of Harper. I think it's something he picked up from his father and his mother.
The National Post has a piece today, complaining about the importing of Saudi oil into Canada. Of course, the Post being the Post, the underlying agenda is to promote oil from Alberta(along with the attendant pipelines) as the alternative.
Though I suppose the question still remains: If we're promoting a boycott of Saudi Arabia, does that include oil imports? And, if so, is there another place that can serve as an alternative source for the oil lost?
Boycotting Saudi oil is a tactic that would be very ahrd to make effective. Better to work for a blanket ban on arms sales to them, maybe. (Though they might stop selling oil to Canada in retaliation!)
Well we are planning to go into Libya aren´t we...won´t we get our fair share of the discounted light crude...or how about Venezuela, we´ve just about got that upstart regime on their knees...likewise they´ve got that light sweet cheap crude....as for the tar sands...at about $10 a barrel for this gooey stuff with costs around $65 and most if not all their producers sitting on debt time bonds?
Likely your kids will never ever have heard of the tar sands....
When you go to the pumps you have no idea where the gas you are getting originated from. Its easy to give stats on how much is from which source but impossible to tell what went into the hopper at the refinery that produced the gas your car uses.
Of course we could have compulsory labeling but I would prefer we got proper labeling of food first.
I was thinking of the government banning the import of Saudi crude(along with anything else they sell us), similar to the sanctions that were placed on South Africa. Or, failing that, pressure the Irivings and other refinery owners to stop refining the stuff. Maybe by boycotting their other businesses.
Because there really isn't much point in saying you're gonna have a boycott of Saudi Arabia, if you're still gonna buy what I assume is their Number One export to Canada.
Given we can't even get Trudeau the Ready Aye Ready to stop selling them people killing light armoured vehicles and that refueling aircraft will likely be refueling Saudi jets I am not going to waste my time trying to get to this government to invoke sanctions against our "ally". That would be as useful as calling for government sanctions against Turkey our NATO ally or Israel. It ain't gonna happen. Don't get me wrong its not like I wouldn't like it to happen.
I think we should leave the Middle East alone and if we don't get out of NATO at least be a voice of reason in the alliance that tells the truth about what is really happening. Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia commit human rights violations against their minorities on a daily basis but we talk about the evil in Iran. If we talked about all human rights violations we would become a respected country again.
$15 B Saudi Arms Deal Proceeds Despite Trade Treaty, Legal Opposition
http://ahtribune.com/world/americas/491-saudi-arms-deal.html
"...But as reported by the Globe and Mail yesterday, the government has exempted the Saudi deal from a global arms trade treaty that Trudeau and Liberals promised to sign if they reached office.
They will sign the treaty, however Canada's largest military export contract will not be subject to the stricter controls imposed by the treaty. The administration's statement - amid growing controversy over doing business with a human rights violator - is a transparent move to continue with the arms deal yet maintain the shroud of Canada's respect for human rights.
'The Arms Trade Treaty does not apply to this specific contract as Canada is not yet a state party to the Arms Trade Treaty,' Global Affairs spokesman Francois Lasalle said."
Mendacity
Okay, so no boycotting of Saudi oil at the consumer level, because there's no way of knowing where the oil in the pump comes from.
And no use asking the government to ban the import of Saudi oil, because they'll just say no anyway.
If that's the situation, I would say there isn't much point in framing this movement as a "boycott" or a "sanction" of Saudi Arabia, because, as far as I can tell, almost nothing is being boycotted or sanctioned.
From what I can see, the only meaningful strategy being advocated here is to curb the sales of military hardware to Saudi Arabia. So I would respectfully suggest that this movement be rebranded as a "military embargo" of Saudi Arabia, similar to the movement in the 80s to ban the sale of CANDU reactors to the military junta in Argentina. (I believe it was called No CANDU For Argentina.)
Anyone had an answer from Dion yet? Even a form letter?

Submitted by Nadia Prupis via TheAntiMedia.org,
Dutch lawmakers have voted to ban weapons exports to Saudi Arabia over the kingdom's violations of humanitarian law, making the Netherlands the first country in the European Union (EU) to follow through on a motion by the European Parliament in February.
The landmark resolution, approved on Tuesday, asks the Dutch government to impose a full arms embargo on Saudi Arabia, including dual-use exports that could be used to violate human rights. The bill cites United Nations figures that Saudi-led troops have killed nearly 6,000 people in Yemen—half of them civilians.
The bill also noted the Saudi government's ongoing executions of its own citizens, many of them political dissidents.
...so how to stop Canada's ongoing complicity in genocide in Yemen, ad nauseum?
A statement to the European Parliament? A federal court action citing this decision?

Just under three months after decrying the mass execution of 47 people in Saudi Arabia, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion attended a "congratulatory reception" at the Saudi Embassy.
New Democrats want to know what Dion discussed with Alsudairy.
"Canadians needs to know if Mr. Dion raised human rights issues during this meeting," foreign affairs critic Hélène Laverdière said.
"We have been asking the government to be transparent and make public all information related to the deal, it's unfortunate that once again, Mr. Dion refuses to be honest with Canadians."
Was going to post this myself. It should be of significance. Canadians are represented by a government that is in a formal active alliance system which includes not only Saudi Arabia, but Turkey and Israel. Not to mention USA. Not to mention NATO. They don't come any more malevolent. Or dangerous to mankind and the planet. This is a reality. As such, the bubble of unreality and pollyanna puffery indulged in by far too many Canadian 'progressives' studiedly indifferent to the truly evil part we play in the current international system, is staggering.

What a greedy amoral ghoul Dion is. So make the futile gesture already. Canadians love futile gestures. It's what they do best...
I guess all moral stands are futile gestures then. There's no point taking a stand against injustice because someone else might take a stand in support of it.
It's about money. As he goes on to, in effect, point out. I'd have more respect for him had he simply said, we need the money, and dropped all the talk of futile gestures.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government should scrap a controversial deal to sell armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia unless it can prove the vehicles won't be used against civilians in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, says Conservative Foreign Affairs Critic Tony Clement.
Speaking to reporters on the way into a caucus meeting, Clement said the Conservatives initially endorsed the deal because analysis showed the vehicles were most likely to be used in the fight against terror in the region. However, Clement said the situation in the area has changed and he is now concerned the vehicles could be used against civilians.

Q: Bluebird PromisifyAll on Backbone not resolving Particularly  i want to promisify model.fetch method, so when I'm creating model I promisifying Backbone
function (_, Backbone, Promise) {
  Backbone = Promise.promisifyAll(Backbone);
  var Diagram = Backbone.Model.extend({...});
}

But later I'm trying to use fetchAsync, on my diagram model and nothing happens.
diagram.fetchAsync()
   .then(function() {
     console.log('success');
   },
   function() {
     console.log('err');
   })
   .catch(function() {
      console.error('fetch failed');
   });

in console this promise looks like this
_bitField: 0
_fulfillmentHandler0: undefined
_promise0: undefined
_receiver0: undefined
_rejectionHandler0: undefined
__proto__: Object

I think that fetchAsync calls non promisifyed versions of sync and ajax calls that do not return resolve in this promise. I'm new to promises so sorry if I wrote something silly.
On promisifying backbone I found very little info in google, just several packages on npm, but I don't want to include extra packages, especcially if they are not popular.

A: As @BenjaminGruenbaum says in the comments
fetch already returns a promise in backbone, no need to promisify it.
promisify only works on functions that have the node function convention
however fetch returns jqXHR and I want Bluebird promise, so I need to use Bluebird.resolve() and that's it.
So I ended up with this
            Promise.resolve(diagram.fetch())
                .then(function (res) {
                    console.log('success');
                })
                .catch(() => {
                    console.error('fetch failed');
                });
