Soo-Min Shim explores how Gillian Kayrooz presents youth culture in contemporary society.
What is contemporary? Should it continue to be understood as a reference to the now? And could it perhaps have a distinct aesthetic of its own?
Multi-disciplinary artist and current Sydney College of the Arts student, Gillian Kayrooz, raises these questions in her portrayal and deconstruction of youth culture. Her focus is on millenial vernacular and suburban identities, which she explores in her video work $kimmed Milk (2017). Markers of Australian youth, like sneakers, skateboards, goon sacks and Adidas jackets, dominate the screen. Yet, in Kayrooz's universe, sneakers are used as phones, faces of ostensibly relatable young characters are distorted, and there is no real sense of place, with the background covered by garbage bags. Kayrooz mutates what is known into something bizarre and surreal, insinuating perhaps that the contemporary itself is constructed.
$kimmed Milk combines the banal with the extraordinary as everyday behaviour and responses are exaggerated to the point of 'transgression'. But what constitutes 'everyday behaviour'? When do certain actions become accepted into the mainstream and consolidated as trends? Who has the authority to dictate what becomes 'socially acceptable'?
Platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook, are unique to our generation and in their sway over us. The ubiquity of the moving image in everyday life shapes youth culture too, from purchasing Fenty makeup to the latest Tide Pod rage. Citing mumblecore, R&B and hip-hop as major influences, Kayrooz adopts and subverts the music video form. After all, white Gucci low-top sneakers exploded in popularity after Frank Ocean donned them in his album cover Chanel last year. In $kimmed Milk electronic music is warped, mirroring the distortion of reality that occurs online and in music videos. Kayrooz's characters consume bread and milk in highly stylised ways. They regurgitate the bread and in a low electronic voice they claim "I love wheat". Their exaggerated chewing is repeated over and over again on a never-ending loop, leaving us in the world of hyperreal absurdity.
This absurdity lies at the heart of neoliberal capitalism—as it commercialises even the most basic needs and constructs a stylised reality based on material performance. As a Western Sydney local, Kayrooz is particularly concerned with the mass commercialisation of her home town's lifestyle, particularly its street fashion. For Western Sydney-siders, street style is a fact of life. However, through the internet and high-brand fashion, it has become a commodity, perversely transformed into a luxury. She states "people wore sneakers just because they had to… Now they're worth hundreds of dollars." Indeed, being a hypebeast has never been so expensive. The dollar sign in the title of the work not only references rap, but represents the focus on wealth, power and status in a capitalist system.
Kayrooz's video distortion further represents the state of affairs in a post-internet age, a world where the internet is the dominant cultural force. Her over-saturated colours, edits, and graphics evoke the sensations of being besieged by the spectacle of the internet, and of capitalism. The excess of Kayrooz's visual motifs reflect current state of inundation of brands and labels. Materialism and visibility have never been more important: as Bella Hadid stated, the type of sneakers you wear determine if "homeboy's going to like, get it".
Kayrooz is conscious that she is a young artist operating in the the post-internet movement. She comments on the highly curated nature of many artist's Instagrams. Their online presence and personas are a method of advertising their own artistic practice, as art and capitalism increasingly intersect. By appropriating and recreating internet motifs, Kayrooz hints at the misleading nature, and overwhelming power, of the images we consume, whether it be through music videos or through art. They contain the information that shapes our society, its people and our way of thinking.
Perhaps Kayrooz provides a tentative definition of contemporaneity: what is contemporary and what is now, will always shift. As images transform, so too will our reality, so too will the present moment that we occupy.

Kayrooz is completing her honours year of a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) at Sydney College of the Arts. Her works have been collected by AIRspace Projects, Verge Gallery, the National Library of Australia and the Sydney College of the Arts Library. She has exhibited at Dedspace Gallery, AIRspace Projects, Sydney College of the Arts, Verge Gallery, ES74 Gallery, Gaffa Gallery and Mils Gallery. Kayrooz's video art was exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney in 2016. Kayrooz has recently completed a residency at the Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts in China where she exhibited her work. Kayrooz is currently completing an artist's residency at Red Rattler Theatre in Marrickville. She will exhibit there later on 29th March.

Press Coverage of PIDB Efforts to Reduce Over-Classification, Increase Government Transparency
October 4, 2021 October 4, 2021 by PIDB, posted in Uncategorized
Two news reports published last week highlighted last year's recommendations as well as ongoing activities of the Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB) to promote the modernization of classification and declassification systems. Both reports cited the PIDB's continuing advocacy for new policies and processes to reduce over-classification. (The PIDB's 2020 Report to the President recommended policies and investments to implement technological solutions needed for the effective and consistent classification of information and declassification review of sensitive electronic information.)
On September 3, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order directing declassification of certain records related to the FBI's investigation of foreign connections to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and related civil court cases. In reporting on the President's Executive Order and the partial declassification of one record by the Department of Justice, the Capital News Service underscored the inadequacy of antiquated, paper-based declassification processes, citing the PIDB's 2020 Report to the President. The article, titled "Biden's 9/11 Declassification Order Renews Debate Between Secrecy vs. Transparency," reported that the too-long delayed and still incomplete declassification of 9/11 records results from what the PIDB previously identified as the outmoded and still entrenched declassification system "created before the United States entered World War II." It concluded by highlighting the imbalance between the $18 billion the Executive branch spent in 2017 on classifying information and the $102 million it spent on declassification.
Similarly, a report last week in Politico focused on the PIDB's continued interest in addressing over-classification. Just as PIDB Member John Tierney testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee in September 2020, the current PIDB Chair, Ezra Cohen, finds the problem of over-classification increasingly urgent. Mr. Cohen told Politico that the PIDB will continue to expand its model of advocating for greater transparency—as it has this year in recommending the President order a prioritized declassification of 9/11 Commission records. Mr. Cohen highlighted PIDB blog posts and public meetings, which brought attention to the issue and added: "We are particularly appreciative of President Biden's efforts thus far to prioritize the release of key classified records related to the 9/11 terror attacks."

translated from Spanish: Unicef signs agreement with AstraZeneca for vaccine supply
Unicefy AstraZeneca signed a long-term agreement this week for the provision of the COVID-19 vaccine on behalf of the Covax Facility, launched by the Coalition for the Promotion of Innovations for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI), the Gavi Alliance for Vaccines (Gavi) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to achieve equitable access to the vaccine globally. Under this agreement, Unicef and other procurement partners, including the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), will have access to up to 170 million doses of vaccines for around 85 countries. This is the third such agreement for Covid-19 vaccines, following those already announced with Pfizer and the Serum Institute of India.Deliveries of the vaccine are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021, in accordance with the Covax Allocation Framework, which takes into account several factors, including: country readiness, national regulatory authorizations and contractual provisions finalized , as well as other operational and supply considerations. This supply agreement will allow access to 170 million doses guaranteed under the Early Acquisition Agreement (APA, The Covax Mechanism with AstraZeneca, which will be available throughout 2021.On 11 February Unicef announced the signing of an agreement with Pfizer for the supply of its vaccine during 2021, as a result of an agreement with the Serum Institute of India to access two vaccines by transferring AstraZeneca technology , included in WHO's Emergency Use Products List (EUL) on 15 February, and Novavax, subject to WHO approval of the vaccine. The Covax Mechanism aims to provide at least 2 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines approved by the end of 2021, protecting frontline health workers and social workers, as well as other vulnerable and high-risk groups. Its goal is to ensure that safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines are available quickly and affordable to all countries around the world, regardless of income level.

How to Measure Transoms For Boat Swim Platforms - PlasTEAK Inc.
The length of the platform, which should be 3″ to 6″ (76.2mm to 152.4mm) shorter on each side than the full width of the transom to avoid hard knocks in tight places.
The projection or how far it should go out.
The transom curve or camber to which the platform is to fit. This can be shown as the CAMBER in the length of the platform you want. See "A" & "B" on the drawing below.
Tip: Find a friend! It's much easier to measure with 4 hands.
The general rule of thumb is that the platform can go as far as (Y), as the bracket goes down the transom (X).

Here I detail the process of how I can work with you to create a fully functioning useful database system for your business.
I would be pleased to offer an initial chat with you to determine if Access is the right product to fulfil your requirements, discuss problems you are having with current systems, and suggest solutions.
Determining the most efficient way of storing your data always considering how you want to present your data (for example what information you require on reports) It is very important to ensure that data that is required in your outputs is actually stored.
Discussing the types of data you need to store, how much space to allocate to each data item, for example you may want to store e-mail addresses, its important to set aside enough space to store a long e-mail address without allowing too much space which is inefficient.
Determining unique identifiers in your data, for example Invoice numbers, Order Number, Part Number, Customer numbers.
What is meant by Data Validation?
This can take many forms, some simple and others much more complex, for example, the storing of your employees mobile telephone numbers (assuming an employees database is being constructed) would not be mandatory as not all employees would necessarily have a mobile telephone, or may not be happy supplying that information to their employer. Whereas, you would be likely to make the storing of 'next of kin' to be mandatory so that you would now who to contact in the case of an emergency.
Another example may be that you were recording some measurements in a production environment and you knew that a particular measurement being entered would always be in the range 3-8 the system could ensure that users could not enter values out of range. This is also important when extracting data from your Access Database system, as it allows us to make assumptions that we know will be true, as an example if we were reporting on those measurements recorded above we would know they could only be between 3-8 as we had validated that during data entry.
I normally develop Access Database systems that only allow users access to the system by entering a username and password, this does not always apply in very small businesses. In larger organisations this can be implemented in such a way that different people within your organisation can be authorised to undertake different tasks in the database, for example, only accounts staff may be able to view and edit financial data, whereas some managers may be able to view and report on some financial data but not edit it in any way.
This can take many forms, if you are a small organisation I can advise on and setup data backup methods that would allow backup to external disk drives, other PCs on your network or online backup. It makes sense to backup your data regularly, and it is always better to store these backups remotely from your main office, therefore it is advisable to backup to removable storage media such as an external disk drive, or directly to the internet.
For the larger company I would expect you to have a backup strategy in place, and I could advise who ever looks after your current backups on how to ensure your database is backed up as well.
I always design my Access Database Systems as bespoke systems; they only display items that are used in the system, rather that displaying the whole of the Access user interface. This helps ensure that my systems are easy to use without all the confusing clutter of 'raw' Access.
This also ensures that users do not inadvertently wander off into areas of Access where they have little or no experience, by using this approach my systems are far more robust that those which do not provide this level of configuration.
I always supply my systems in a form where the end users cannot make changes to the design or programming code. I will supply your system as compiled mde files which operate faster that un-compiled mdb files and are not changeable by the end user, thereby increasing the robustness and security of your database system.
Whereas, the overall administration user would have access to all the tasks including the setting up of other users, and the Administrator would be trained by me to be fully conversant with the operation of the entire system.
This enables the user access to many areas of the system where they could cause damage, probably unintentionally.
I supply databases with a customised menu system that only offers the facilities that are required, and is semi-intelligent to only offer facilities relevant to the current task.
Here you can see there are less options, and some are disabled (shown as grey) as they are not appropriate to the current task.
A system can have many forms; these are where you enter data into your system and are also used to interrogate your database to find information.
Speed of data entry can be greatly improved by a combination of programming and data structure. For example if you had a system that needed to record information about flights, I would present a box that the user could select a country from, titled Country; this would contain a list of countries sorted alphabetically, when the user selected a country (this is far superior to letting a user type a country as they may misspell it and that would have a detrimental effect on your data integrity), lets say they select 'United Kingdom' then I would program the system so that the next box titled 'Airport' would only contain a list of airports in the United Kingdom, thereby guiding the user rather than letting them enter data that could be inconsistent such as entering USA as the country and London Heathrow as the airport.
At various stages of operation it is useful to ask users to respond to questions or simply tell the user what is happening.
Here you can see the title says 'Customer Deletion' so the user knows what the message is about, the message box shows a red X so that the user knows this is an important question, the message itself is clear about what will happen if the user clicks 'Yes' The default button has been set to 'No' so if the user accidentally presses the enter key the deletion will not take place.
This simply says 'Microsoft Office Access' in the title, there is no red X, the message simply says 'delete' and the default button has been left as 'Yes' so if the user accidentally pressed the enter key this customer data would be deleted.
The creation of systems that provide the first type of message to the user rather than the second type comes from experience and many other developers may not have the required level of experience to design a really user friendly interface.
As well as programming in the functionality described above I also create feedback messages that speak the users language, not a database developers language, so no words like Record, Database, Index, but words appropriate to your business, for example, Invoice, Customer Order, Client Request.
A report is where you produce outputs from your Access Database system.
Normally clients have requirements for at least a few basic reports, whereas some clients require very complex reports.
I normally create a form that acts as a menu to the various reports available.
When the user selects a report I display it on screen, or if you prefer I can send it directly to your printer, most users like to see their reports on screen first to ensure the data the report contains is what they were looking for.
Here the user can select multiple criteria in order to be presented with a report that exactly matches their needs. This also has an option to produce the report in one of three ways, to the screen, to a file, or directly to a printer.
Some of the data has been removed from this report for display here.
I can brand your system with your company colours and logo as can be seen in the report examples above, and in the form below.
As mentioned above under 'Customised menu System' you will not see the standard Access Menus.
The things mentioned above are for programmers to deal with, not end users.
I always endeavour to create systems that are easy to use, are not confusing and are fast.


Liberal darling and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just broke the law in plain sight and there is no way she can defend herself about it either.
The little liberal who adores preaching about love and tolerance blocked conservative journalist Ryan Saavedra on Friday.
Seriously, it is not that big of a deal but it is now since the left went after President Trump for blocking people who were rude on his Twitter feed.
Now, judges have ruled that a politician blocking someone on Twitter is now not allowed by law, making it a crime.
The Democrats make the rules and now they have to abide by them just like the rest of us.
I am sure you are wondering what could have spurred AOC's reaction to block Saavedra, right? Well, it all started with a single tweet and you can guess how this turned out.
Saavedra had the nerve to question AOC's accent she used last week.
That caused AOC to come out swinging.
"Folks talking about my voice can step right off. Women's March & Kavanaugh speech, same.
I guess she should go ahead an unblock Saavedra.


DENVER—CDOT's Colorado Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is accepting applications from schools, school districts, municipalities, counties and other eligible organizations for grants to help build infrastructure and expand non-infrastructure programs.
For the fiscal year 2017-2018 cycle of grants, SRTS will offer funding for education, enforcement, and encouragement projects that improve kindergarten through 8th grade students' skills and knowledge about safely bicycling and walking to and from school. Funding also is available for infrastructure projects to improve the built environment around elementary and middle schools that increase students' ability to walk and bicycle to school safely.
Infrastructure projects are eligible for up to $350,000 in grant funding, with $2 million in total funds available. A total of $500,000 is available for projects that focus on education, enforcement and encouragement.
Grants are awarded through a statewide, competitive process. Project selection will give consideration to schools where more than 50 percent of students are eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch.
The grant applications and instructions are due Nov. 1, 2017. You can also access this website to view statewide training sessions that offer guidance on the application process.
"Walking and bicycling to school enhances the health of our kids, improves air quality and reduces congestion around schools," says CDOT Safe Routes to School Program Manager Leslie Feuerborn. "Over the past 12 years, we have funded over 225 projects across the state that are bringing forth permanent changes that encourage a more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly Colorado, one community at a time. And we want to get more schools engaged."
Studies show that SRTS education and encouragement programs can increase the number of children walking and bicycling to and from school by five percent per year. Building crosswalks, sidewalks, and other bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure near schools can increase walking and bicycling by 18 percent.
Another great opportunity to engage students, parents and communities is the 21st Annual Walk to School Day, Oct. 4, 2017. Schools will be able to register online starting in late August at www.walkbiketoschool.org.
For additional information, contact Leslie Feuerborn at 303-757-9088.

Disney+ Bringing Graphic Novel 'American Born Chinese' To Series
Breaking news! Disney+ has just announced it has begun production on "American Born Chinese," based on the graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang. Destin Daniel Cretton (of Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings") is directing and also the executive producer for the upcoming show.
What's the anticipated series going to be about? "American Born Chinese," tells the story of Jin Wang, an average teenager juggling his high school social life with his immigrant home life. When he meets a new foreign student on the first day of the school year, even more worlds collide as Jin is unwittingly entangled in a battle of Chinese mythological gods. The show is a genre-hopping action-comedy that explores issues of identity, culture, and family."
Why should Disney+ viewers be excited? This is a universal story that moves between worlds and explores a mythical world through the view of young adults. "American Born Chinese" has been a staple of American literature over the past 15 years and is deeply important to a generation of readers. It's already been stated the show is going to be unlike anything else previously experienced on TV, and the team behind the show state they can't wait for the world to see what they're cooking up.
Many topics are expected to be addressed in the upcoming series, including bullying, racial stereotypes, and everything that goes along with trying to fit in at a new school when coming from a different background. Without giving too much information away, the story will likely show a transformation of its characters in both a mental and physical sense while also coming to terms with preconceived biases society has placed on certain cultures.
The novel is based on three separate stories which eventually intertwine with one another. The original graphic novel was released in 2006 and quickly received critical acclaim, winning numerous awards and praise. The novel has even been said to be a great resource for students who are struggling academically with their reading.
If that wasn't enough, to say that "American Born Chinese" graphic novel writer Gene Luen Yang is excited is an understatement: "When I was in high school, I was such a big Disney fan that I had at least one Mickey Mouse item on me at all times: a wallet, a watch, a belt buckle, a t-shirt, something. Being a part of Disney+ is a dream come true."

« Applications Open for SLA Diversity Leadership Development Program Award | Main | SLA New Jersey Chapter: Report to Members 2009 »
SLA New Jersey Chapter Honors Three Outstanding Members
The SLA New Jersey Chapter (NJSLA) is pleased to honor three longstanding members who have led the chapter in planning, programming and member services. They've also always lent a hand and encouraged our colleagues to understand the value of membership and participation in SLA. In short, Liz Arnold, Arda Agulian and Barbara Burton have been great ambassadors for both the chapter and the association. They'll be recognized at the chapter's 2009 Annual Meeting and Holiday Party on 15 December in New Brunswick.
I decided to honor Liz with the President's Award. As Career Guidance and Employment Chair for the chapter, Liz serves the very important role of publicizing new job opportunities to chapter members via our job listings blog. She is always ready to mentor members and provide them with career advice. As a former chapter president, Liz is very familiar with chapter and SLA practices, and keeps us on the right path in terms of reporting, producing meeting minutes and other procedures, so that we're communicating the right information in the right way to both members and to SLA headquarters.
I worked with a committee of three — the chapter's President-Elect, Sandra Baker; and former chapter award winners Kate Creegan and Kris Fitzpatrick — to decide to honor Arda and Barbara as our 2009 Members of the Year.
For the past three years Arda has served as the chapter's Director of Communications. Arda has ensured that members receive important news from SLA headquarters, and she maintains the chapter's listserv. Arda also has served as a liaison for the Rutgers SC&I Program Associates, which connects New Jersey's library school to the professional community. One of Arda's chapter projects for several years has been planning our Annual Meeting and Holiday Party, picking great locations such as the Morris Museum, Reeves-Reed Arboretum and in 2009, the Rutgers Club. Arda also has put together a charity event around the party, such as this year's drive for the Franklin Township Foodbank.
Barbara is the chapter's immediate past president and recruited me to follow her in that post. As a member and formerly as a vendor representative, Barbara has brought many educational and fun programs to the chapter. She secured for us industry and SLA leaders as Alice Rankin Distinguished Lecturers, including Mary Ellen Bates and Stephen Abram. Barbara also started a new summer tradition of a summer baseball outing with the Somerset Patriots.
This year, Barbara chaired the Frank H. Spaulding Student Scholarship Committee. (The scholarship winner, Kristin Gahona, also is being honored at the annual meeting.) Barbara has a deep respect for history and archives, so I'm glad that she's continuing next year to serve as the chapter's archivist.
So it gives me great pleasure to honor Liz, Arda and Barbara. Short biographies and photos follow.

NJSLA 2009 President

Damping of liquid sloshing by foams

Chemical & Biological Engineering
Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials
When a container is set in motion, the free surface of the liquid starts to oscillate or slosh. Such effects can be observed when a glass of water is handled carelessly and the fluid sloshes or even spills over the rims of the container. However, beer does not slosh as readily as water, which suggests that foam could be used to damp sloshing. In this work, we study experimentally the effect on sloshing of a liquid foam placed on top of a liquid bath. We generate a monodisperse two-dimensional liquid foam in a rectangular container and track the motion of the foam. The influence of the foam on the sloshing dynamics is experimentally characterized: only a few layers of bubbles are sufficient to significantly damp the oscillations. We rationalize our experimental findings with a model that describes the foam contribution to the damping coefficient through viscous dissipation on the walls of the container. Then we extend our study to confined three-dimensional liquid foam and observe that the behavior of 2D and confined 3D systems are very similar. Thus, we conclude that only the bubbles close to the walls have a significant impact on the dissipation of energy. The possibility to damp liquid sloshing using foam is promising in numerous industrial applications such as the transport of liquefied gas in tankers or for propellants in rocket engines.

Before Choosing a Location, determine the scope of the event and estimate who will be attending. If there will be a large number of children, choosing a location with an adjacent playground may eliminate the need for planning ways to entertain the children. On the other hand, disabled family members may require facilities to be accessible. Facilities costs and amenities may widely vary, and some public facilities may require reservations up to a year in advance.

Adam Driver Sings in Marriage Story, and There Isn't a Bucket Big Enough For My Tears
1 month ago - By Pop Sugar
Somebody hold me too close. I'm going to need a lot of emotional support after watching Adam Driver perform Stephen Sondheim's "Being Alive." Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story is far from a musical, yet Driver's well-placed number is arguably the best scene of the entire film. Please, don't at me.
Charlie feels "alone, not alive" as his marriage breaks down.
Driver's character, Charlie, takes the mic in front of his theater family in New York amid an exhaustive divorce from his wife, Nicole, played by Scarlett Johansson. His solo act is the perfect balance to her song, "You Can Drive a Person...
Marriage Story Isn't the First Time We've Heard Adam Driver Sing
One of the most powerful moments in Marriage Story comes when Adam Driver's character, Charlie, reflects on his failed marriage in an impromptu performance of "Being Alive." If you're wondering if that really is Driver singing, then you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is! Driver tackles the famous Stephen Sondheim song from the musical Company without any assistance or dubbing.
"Where Noah put it in the script I thought was really beautiful writing ," Driver said in a Q&A, per IndieWire. "The two characters started in this polar opposite journey. Before the movie starts...

My newest additions for fall are these python print loafers by Marc by Marc Jacobs. You all know how I have a thing for flat shoes and I believe this pair of loafers offers an ultra cool way to wear the new season. Mr Jacobs convinced me again by the fact that mixing styles, patterns and finishes can look fabulous when done right.
This pair fits my love for shoes perfectly. Comfy yet clashing and elegant, to steal the show with just about anything to just about anywhere.
The loafers are available online via Spartoo schoenen.
i follow you now ;) i would love to follow me back because love your blog!!
And maybe we can follow each others, let me know if u want!
Love these loafers!! They are perfect!
wauw die zijn mooi! veel plezier er mee!
Wow, these are very cool.


If there is one thing I love, it is big massive bouncy and curly hair. My hair is my absolute pride and joy. I really am like some sort of modern day Samson, as a lot of my confidence lies in how my hair looks. When my hair is on point, my confidence soars.
Most of you will already know that I have worn hair extensions for a long time now. For the past 5 and a half months I have been wearing Gold Fever Hair extensions and my god I love them. While I have worn other extensions before, the real difference with Gold Fever is in the quality of the hair. Considering my extensions are in for quite a while now, the quality of the hair is still as good as the day I got them in. This did not happen with other extensions that I have worn. I honestly can't sing high enough praise for them. You can read about my Gold Fever journey here.
So before you watch the video below, let me tell you all about the products and tools that I have used in the video. First up is shampoo. As I have extensions, I have to use a sulphate free shampoo so that the bond isn't damaged. I have found it hard to find a good sulphate free shampoo, as I find sometimes they can be a little heavy on the hair and hard to lather. One of the best that I have tried is the Kerastase Sulphate free shampoo. I find that it gives a great lather and leaves the hair lovely and clean. My only complaint is that there can be a build up of product after a few washes that can leave the hair feeling heavy.
Before I dry my hair, I use the Alfaparf precious nature pure colour protection leave in conditioner with Almond and Pistashio. I love this stuff. I find it leaves the hair lovely and silky and also smells amazing. It is also said to help protect your colour from the heat from styling tools. I can't say is this is 100% true, but what I can tell you is that as far as leave in conditioners go, this one is fabulous.
When it comes to backcombing brushes, the GHD brush is an absolute must. This is hands down the best brush I have ever used for backcombing. What makes it different is the bristles. It has bristles for both backcombing the hair and then smoothing it down afterwards. Honestly this brush is unreal and an must if you like huge hair. You can buy it here for €18.
When it comes to curling tongs, my all time favourite is the Diva Pro Jumbo wand. I just love the big barrel on this wand. I love how it gives big loose curls that are perfect for big bouncy hair. Not only that but I find that it curls the hair fast and gives curls that last. You can read a full review here.
While all of these products and tools are interchangeable, this is what has worked best for me. To find out just how I use everything and get big bouncy curls, check out the video below. If you do happen to try out this technique, don't forget to snap me the finished results.

#MYSUPERFEMALE: Daiyan Trisha – Singer-Songwriter And Actress
Tuesday, October 1, 2019 12:12 AM by female Magazine Malaysia
In a nutshell, we'd say that Daiyan Trisha is a perfectionist as she admits that one of the biggest challenges of being unassigned to any recording label and having to manage herself is that she needs to be in control of everything. Being very particular even in her art direction is a trait that she can't seem to let go of because she finds it hard to trust anyone to be as detailed as she is.
Daiyan Trisha, 26
"Being in control of timelines, releases and every aspect of my music is tough but I think I'm doing ok, because I recently released a music video and it looks like everyone is loving it!" says Daiyan, who has just released her new music video entitled I Wanna See Ya which was sponsored by Kiehl's and Kate Spade New York.
This month, she'll be launching her first accessory collection in collaboration with Wanderlust + Co and her debut album in the next one month. In time to come, she also hopes to release an English album and tap into the international market.
Born and raised in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor, Daiyan comes from a working-class family. Having been in the science stream, Daiyan reveals that she was a very active student and used to participate in a lot of extracurricular activities such as debates, storytelling, chess and also joined a lot of singing and cheerleading competitions.
"My diploma in Accounting was at UITM, Melaka, and later, I completed my degree in Business Administration and majored in Marketing. I graduated two years ago and used all my hard-earned money to release my music," she shares.
As there's no one person but rather a group of different people made up of her mum, BFFs and Taylor Swift as role models in her life, Daiyan acknowledges that it's possible for any everyday woman to be a SuperFEMALE. "Despite the challenges that she faces and going through exhaustion from her full-day work, she still powers through, wakes up the next morning with a new spirit, hustles through and goes all out to achieve her goals. That's what makes one woman stand out from another," she concludes.

Anyone who wants to work as a commercial truck driver must have a CDL license. To receive a CDL license in New Mexico, applicants must train, take a written and skills test, and be declared fit for this line of work by a DOT certified medical doctor. There are also age restrictions; you must be at least 18 years old to driver intrastate and 21 years old for interstate driving.
If an applicant passes, he/she will receive a temporary learner's permit that'll allow them to drive while being supervised by a licensed driver. When applicants think that they have enough practical driving experience and ready to take the road tests, they must visit their MVD office and set a schedule. Applicants must bring their own vehicle and must be accompanied by a licensed driver. The road test is divided into a pre-trip inspection, basic driving skills, and actual on-road driving. Applicants must pass all three parts to receive their CDL. Applicants who fail any part must start all over.
We are always looking for new CDL schools to include on this directory. If you know of a school, not listed here, please use our contact form to let us know. All submissions must include the name, address and phone details of the business being added.
A truck driving license in New Mexico is an important requirement if you are wishing to take the career path of a commercial truck driver. The state has now made it necessary for anyone who wants to make a living as a truck driver to comply with the state and federal requirements which have been enacted in order to safeguard the security of the United States as a whole. You will need to comply with these requirements and to pass several tests which are required of truck drivers in order to ensure that the roads and the public are protected from unnecessary harm.
In order for you to get a CDL in this state, you must have a current driver's license either issued by this state or by another state. You must be of legal age, 18 or 21, in order to apply for an intrastate and an interstate CDL consecutively and you must have a clean driving record at least for the past 10 years. You should not have any serious traffic violations or have your license suspended or revoked for the prescribed number of years.
The state requires several things from commercial driver's license applicants – visual and medical certification, written test, and road test. You must also provide some personal information such as your Social Security Number, name, and address as well as supporting documents for such information such as valid IDs and your birth certificate. Aside from this, you will also need to submit to a visual and physical exam which is conducted by a DOT approved medical professional. You can ask for the DOT form at your local MVD office. Once you have passed these requirements, you will then be given a written exam where your knowledge of trucks and of road regulations will be tested so you need to study the New Mexico CDL Manual first before submitting your application.
If you pass the test, you will be provided with a temporary learner's permit so you can study how to drive the type of truck that you will be driving in the future. It is valid for a prescribed number of weeks so you have to make sure that you learn everything that you need to know to prepare for the road test. The CDL manual provides you with a list on the specific areas where you will be tested on during this test.
When you think that you are ready for your road test, you will need to visit the MVD office to secure a schedule. You will need to bring your own vehicle and you also have to be accompanied by a licensed individual when bringing the truck to the testing center. The MVD will test you on the following areas – pre-trip inspection, basic driving skills, and road skills. You will be assessed on how you handle the truck in different types of circumstances such as in heavy traffic. If you pass the road test, you will be given your truck driving license in New Mexico.
If you need help learning the skills to pass the exams you can find truck driving schools in NM to help. Within a matter of weeks you will have learned the road skills required with time behind the wheel and have the knowledge to work behind the wheel. Below is the contact details for the state motor vehicle division as well as a link to the CDL manual.

Below are some quotes from Atheists and other Skeptics and Unbelievers form various venues in life. The answers are from my own study and understanding. I don't profess expertise concerning some of their observations. I simply offer biblical analysis of them.
My response to Brad Pitt - There is no requirement to acknowledge God in all of scripture because God has given "free will" to mankind to acknowledge him or reject him. It has nothing to do with ego because God is not dependent upon anything from mankind.
He is absolutely self-sufficient and has been long before mankind every came into being. To know God is beneficial to man - not the other way around. God condescends to make himself known to unworthy sinners because of his mercy. Knowing him is a privilege of the greatest magnitude! Not knowing him is to be without hope in a world gone mad.
of it were torn out piece by piece – all that was over. The ever-present prospect of hell fire lifted, and my horizon seemed broader.
God,Satan,angels; these were all figments of human imagination, mechanisms to impose the will of the powerful on the weak. From now on I could step firmly on the ground that was under my feet and navigate BASED ON MY OWN REASON.
think broadened actually narrowed because you accepted a lie rather than dealing with your mortality. Your coming out moment caused great rejoicing among Satan and his demons.
regret should you die in your sins. As far as the powerful imposing themselves on the weak is concerned; that is a human trait - not just a mechanism of control for those who truly believe in God. In Christianity the only one who truly controls anything is God, and he loans power to mankind but can retrieve it any time he wishes. The very breath that you depend on to sustain you is in his control whether you believe it or not. To navigate based on your own reason is a terrible way to live since the Bible makes it clear that "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." Is that what you want to build you own trust on? You have no moral compass within yourself. All morality comes from God, and those who believe otherwise are deceived by the Satan you deny exists. Apart from God no moral compass exists anywhere in the universe. He established all moral law through his wisdom and commandments.
harmony and love. That is what people desire but will never achieve outside of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The body we inhabit is not the real person. It is only a house for our spirits which are the real us. At death the body will decompose in the grave, but the spirit within will never die. It is intended to be eternal. This life is our preparation for eternity and our faith in or rejection of Christ to redeem us determines where we will spend it.
My response to Natalie Portman - You unbelief doesn't negate the reality of the afterlife or living forever. Your belief that this life is all we have is false as you will see one second after death.
endure forever is in Jesus Christ.
one time and most, if not all, offer no continuing support to the disaster victims.
if you simply do a little study. You will find that the people who are responsible for the most wars and deaths because of war have been atheists. See the first article on my random links page dealing with that issue.
gift of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ which brings eternal life for us. Anything short of that won't do.
in Christ. Baptism is merely an outward proclamation of each individual that they have received that salvation and want others to know it. It has no redemptive value.
My response to Frank Sinatra - Jesus Christ is indeed the Prince of Peace and there is no lasting peace apart from him. Your statement about blood being shed in his name is false because history proves otherwise. The most deaths in the history of the world are because of atheist leaders. I believe you know that now, but it is too late. Your position cannot be reversed. You have chosen your eternity and now are living it out.
life or one second after you are dead. I am praying that it is the former and not the latter. You certainly have much to fear as a homosexual and homosexual advocate since God calls your sexual behavior an abomination. Unless you repent of that sinful behavior and begin to obey God in regard to it you will die in your sin and be damned forever. Is it worth your never-dying soul to have a few years of earthly licentious pleasure. "For what shall a man profit if he gain the whole world and lost his soul." God is merciful, and wants to forgive you and deliver you from all sin but he won't force you to repent.
My response to Emma Thompson - It is sad that you regard religion with suspicion and fear.
self-righteousness of such people is no righteousness at all. In Isaiah 64:6 it is stated that "All our righteousness is filthy rags."
and living God of the Bible. BUT that fear is not necessary if you repent of your sin and allow the love and mercy of God to touch your life and forgive you and set you free from your superstitious and unnecessary fear.
that all that is written there about you is true. You will also find that your position on the other side of death is irreversible.
My response to Taslima Nasrin - Why must you be a feminist? What proof do you have for the assumptions you are making. You obviously are not a student of scripture from a Christian perspective. Try putting aside your subjective thinking and research the Bible objectively if you can. Let me inform you of some things you don't understand.
Neither God or his followers are anti-women. The reason man was placed over woman in the garden was because of Eve's sin. Despite that sin, Adam and Eve worked together to raise children and do what was necessary for their survival. Adam wasn't a dictator as some feminists would like to believe. Further, Christian men are commanded by God to love their wives as their own selves and love and protect them. As a Christian husband I have great respect for my wife who is a wonderful woman of God, but I still know that God expects me to be the strength in my home for my wife and children, and the provider and the guide in the spiritual realm. I am thankful that God has placed that trust in me but I am not a dictator either. We have a very blessed life together with our seven children and ten precious grandchildren and we love and serve God together.
