09 Nov Lace and Leather…
Believe it or not, this was my very first leather jacket. I always thought I'd never get one that blew my mind. This is of course until I got this one as a gift. I was over the moon. It's particular style was unmatched and the lace detail was spectacular.
I was going for a rocker chic look, and what better way to pull it off than with a pair of ripped jeans. Speaking of ripped jeans, I was at a social gathering a while back when this girl began to bash ripped jeans. She went on and on and added how they look like tattered clothes. I held my tongue and let sleeping dogs lie. A week later I spotted her in ripped jeans. Huh!

These classics, given a contemporary spin, sit happily alongside recipes for empanadas, lattice-topped pies, slumps, and galettes.
There are sweet and savoury recipes for every season, and ideas for super decorative pastry-work, as popularised on Instagram. The book also includes pastry-making tips and tricks, and building-block recipes for a variety of doughs and crusts, to help get you started

BREATH-TAKING Victorian colour postcards showcasing Cornwall's charming coastline will leave you yearning for your summer staycation already.
The stunning collection that shows how many of these sights have hardly changed to the present day, includes a view over the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac from the hit TV show Doc Martin and over Poldark's rugged Kynance Cove.
Another picture shows boats docked in Padstow Quay whilst others depict the ruins of King Arthur's castle in Tintagel and charming Falmouth.
Other incredible images take a look over Boscastle's harbour and peaceful village streets.
A boat can be seen sailing past Bude's Compass Point with another entering the seaside town's lock gates.
Popular tourist destinations of Newlyn, Newquay, St Ives and Land's End also feature in the collection.
The colour postcards were produced using a photochrom method. It is a way of producing colourised photographs from black and white negatives via the direct photographic transfer of a negative onto lithographic printing plates.

Many people enjoy having indoor plants so that even in the colder months, they can bask in the beauty of fresh greenery. However, it's not easy to keep indoor plants thriving. The last thing you want is to wake up to brown plants every day in the middle of winter.
Here are the only tips you need to make sure your plants stay alive and healthy all year long!
Know the physical signs
Get to know your plant and start to learn the physical signs that it needs some TLC. For instance, if the soil is very dry, give the plant more water until the soil feels moist again. However, if the soil looks drenched, don't water it until the water has been absorbed and the soil begins to dry out again.
Take a look at the leaves and roots. Do the leaves have brown spots? If so, you may need to adjust your watering routine or change the location of the plant. Are the roots starting to rot? This is a sign that you are overwatering the plant.
Check the location
The best location for your plant will depend on what type it is. Always take a look at the instructions that come with your plant — they will advise you on how much sunlight it needs, etc. In general, plants should not be located in areas of your home that are too cold or in places where they can get sunburned. Yes, plants get sunburns too! Additionally, keep plants away from heating or cooling vents.
Assess the pot
As your plant evolves, chances are it will outgrow the pot it came in. If the plant is looking crowded in its current container or if you start to see the roots emerging at the top, it's time to repot your plant. In general, you should choose a pot that is about 2 inches wider and deeper than the original container.
Use a filter system
Using some kind of filter system at the bottom of the pot is a great way to make sure that excess water doesn't drown the plant. Popular options include packing peanuts, pebbles and coffee filters.
Change the water
If you notice that your plant is still suffering, even after you've watered it adequately and placed it in an appropriate location, it could be the type of water you're giving it. Sometimes tap water can contain things like chlorine, which many plants can't tolerate. Try collecting rainwater or use filtered water to see if this will bring your plant back to good health.

Company will pay Iowa to settle allegations over medications
A pharmaceutical company will pay the state of Iowa more than $972,000 to settle allegations that it improperly marketed two of its medications.
The Iowa Attorney General's Office announced the settlement Wednesday involving California-based Amgen Inc. It is part of a $72 million agreement with 48 states and the District of Columbia over allegations that the company unlawfully promoted the drugs Aranesp and Enbrel.
A petition filed Tuesday in district court in Polk County alleges Amgen violated Iowa's consumer protection laws by promoting the drugs without federal approval for certain conditions and dosing frequencies.
Amgen is now barred from certain marketing strategies, including promoting off-label uses of the drugs to medical professionals.
Messages seeking comment from the company were not immediately returned Wednesday.

Well in that case keep all your issues aside as online stores now offer you sexy womens swimwear. You will find lots of online shopping websites offering you swimwear that caters huge women. You might find it quite annoying at times or at times very confusing when you visit online stores for swimsuit as there are so many options but finding a perfect fitted outfit for you is difficult for you.
Below are a few tips that will help you choose a swimsuit that makes you look good and feel great at the same time:
In case you have a short neck or a double chin then it is wise on your part to avoid bikinis Australia having high neck cuts. This will definitely make you look shorter and the chin will look obvious. Instead you should choose a swimsuit having deep V neck or even a deep U cut that will drive the eye away from double chin or short neck.
In case you are a person with huge arms then you can drive the attention of people away by buying sexy womens swimwear with huge prints on chest area. This is what you need to do. You can even camouflage your arms by putting on a sheer polyester or cotton tunic having deep colours at the time you get out from the water.
Look for a swimwear which is printed on above and plain from below if you have huge thighs and butts. People will therefore get distracted from your huge buts and thighs. It has the same effect for 2 piece skirtinis swimwear. The skirtini top having bold as well as beautiful print will distract the eyes and dark colour skirt will definitely camouflage the thighs and hips.
Belly sticking out is one problem that most of the women face. A perfect outfit for such a body type will be a high waist outfit with empire waistline and plates through the lines along with a loose fitted skirt. This would prove to be the best solution particularly if there is bright colorful print on bust and the rest is plain dark coloured.
Following are some kinds of outfit described that you should defiantly NOT consider when buying swimwear australia :
Bikinis Australia: Wearing this will defiantly grab lot of shocked eye sights and make all your excess fats quite visible.
Monokinis is a one piece swimsuit having large cut-outs at the sides, back and front, top and bottom connected by a thin strap. It is a perfect out for women with flat stomach a perfect body. The style has no support as well as no fault camouflage for full figure.
Sexy women's swimwear having high leg cuts, see through when wet or horizontal striped swimwear.
Women's Swimwear actually is a matter of personal choice but make certain that you pick the swimsuit that you feel good wearing. If you always prefer shopping clothes of extra large size then why not follow the same rule while shopping for a swimwear.

Happy Birthday! Great pressies. What a wonderful experience it will be hiking the Grand Canyon! Stitching looks great too ;0). Good to hear that you didn't get too much damage with the storm. Isn't it frustrating without the power - we had the same thing a few weeks ago when a big storm went through. Some people were without power for a week, but luckily we only lost the power for 24 hrs.

Isobelle Dashwood, corps de ballet dancer
Growing up with a ballet teacher for a mother, Dashwood was immersed in dance early, and while she knew it was the career she wanted to pursue by the time she was 12 years old, her 178cm stature almost held her back. "It took a while, but I always try to remember that if I stand out, I want to make sure [it's] for a good reason," Dashwood explains of learning to overcome the diffidence. As the tallest female member of The Australian Ballet her approach paid off, and two years into her position at the company she was singled out to play the Lilac Fairy in The Sleeping Beauty. "Not many people get to do roles like that so early on in their career," the 22-year-old admits. Dashwood is also a philanthropy ambassador, a position that sees her bridge the gap between the dancers and the patrons of The Australian Ballet. Back inside the studio, the young talent says she's enjoying developing her artistry. "I was more of a technical dancer," she explains. "So I've really loved growing in that sense, and learning how to come out of my shell through my movement."
Yichuan Wang, corps de ballet dancer
Less than three years into his tenure at The Australian Ballet, Wang is making a major impression. "I always try to give 100 per cent of myself every day," says the Chinese-born dancer, who made the move from Beijing to Melbourne after a particularly galvanising rehearsal with a principal artist at The Australian Ballet, Chengwu Guo. "He is one of my idols," explains Wang. The 23-year-old can now also call his idol a friend and mentor, and he hopes to further follow in Guo's footsteps by taking the Ballet's teacher-training course next year. Of his nomination, Wang says, "I feel so surprised and grateful, and it just gives me more motivation every day to work hard [and get] better."
Marcus Morelli, senior artist
Beyond the physical, Morelli is a master of artistic expression, earning a promotion to senior artist after his standout performance dancing the lead in Spartacus last year. "I've never lost myself onstage as much as I did during those performances," says the dancer of 15 years of his self-proclaimed career highlight. "That's going to stick with me for the rest of my life." Emotional vulnerability sees the 25-year-old shine, but it also means self-doubt can creep in. "You have to just trust in your own ability and all the things that you've learned, [such as] discipline, determination and the ability to confront your own feelings."
Cristiano Martino, senior artist
Martino demonstrated the resilience needed to forge a career in the world of ballet after a foot injury in 2017 left him "terrified" he wouldn't ever return to the stage. "I worked my butt off to get back," admits the dancer, who, after learning how to walk properly again, returned to his post in May last year. He has since ticked off a bucket-list role after making his debut as Albrecht in Giselle, continuing his rapid progression as one of The Australian Ballet's most senior male artists. "You never stop learning, which is incredibly frustrating, but also incredibly rewarding," says the 26-year-old on the physical and mental challenges that come with the territory, adding that the joy of performance is all the motivation he needs to keep pushing forward. "When you get out onstage, you leave all that harsh self-criticism in the studio and you just have fun."
Sharni Spencer, soloist
This year marks the third time Spencer's peers have nominated her for the Telstra Ballet Awards. "It's a huge encouragement because they really see all the work you put in offstage," says the 31-year-old, who has been with The Australian Ballet for 12 years. Now a soloist, Spencer admits that it was hard not to be given more singular roles earlier on in her career, though her slow-burn trajectory is proof that instant success isn't the only way to the top. "Now that I am getting these opportunities a bit later than others might have, I'm really ready for them." She's proven just that with her latest string of performances, including her enchanting portrayal of the title character in Alice in Wonderland earlier this year. "For the whole two and a half hours, Alice is only offstage for 10 minutes of that time. It's a huge, very demanding endurance role," says Spencer. "That was definitely a career highlight for me."
Jill Ogai, soloist
Ogai has danced a key role at every one of the company's opening nights this year, effortlessly transitioning between comical roles, contemporary work and the classical productions that ignited her passion for dance. "I'm proud of the range that I've shown," reflects the dancer, who began ballet lessons at the age of four after being wooed by a video of Swan Lake. Now 26, Ogai has had to face the fact that "choreographers don't always see my body as the vision that they want," though she says the challenge has only made her stronger. "It's forced me to really dig deep and find out who I am and what my strengths are. That's made me feel really empowered every time I step out onstage." Having risen up in the face of adversity, Ogai hopes her experience will encourage others. "I want to inspire young dancers and show that there is diversity, even at the top tiers of the Ballet."

Milwaukee Bucks sign 1st-round draft pick Donte DiVincenzo to rookie scale contract
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks have signed first-round draft pick Donte DiVincenzo to a rookie scale contract.
According to a news release from Bucks' officials, DiVincenzo, a 6-foot-5 guard, was selected by the Bucks with the 17th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. He led Villanova to a national championship in April, earning 2018 Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors after scoring 31 points on 10-for-15 shooting in the national championship game and averaging 23.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game at the Final Four. The Delaware-native was named the BIG EAST's Sixth Man of the Year for the 2017-18 season after he averaged 13.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game as a redshirt sophomore while shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 40.1 percent from 3-point range.
DiVincenzo appeared in 85 games, making 12 starts, during his three seasons with the Wildcats.

Antonio Conte says it is up to Chelsea whether he stays at the club or not.
The Italian won the Premier League title last term, in his first season as head coach with the Blues, who play Leicester on Saturday.
Conte signed an improved contract last summer, but it was not an extension to his deal which still expires in June 2019, and there has been continual speculation over his position.
Chelsea FC news: Antonio Conte 'to leave at the end of the season and Allegri and Enrique on club's radar'
The former Juventus and Italy boss says that goes with the territory of working at Chelsea and does not happen at other clubs.
He said: "I have another year of (my) contract with this club. But as you know very well everything is possible. In one moment you stay here, in another moment another person replaces you in your job."
Asked if he would extend his contract with Chelsea, Conte added: "In this case, I think the club has to decide to send me away."
Conte's position has been the subject of speculation regarding a rumoured frustration over transfers.
He added: "For the manager of this club it's normal to have this type of situation, also if you won last season the league and you reached the final in the FA Cup. This is the history of this club for the manager.
"I have a lot of experience to deal with this type of situation. (But) there is something strange if, after the first game we lost against Burnley, the press pushed quickly to sack me for another coach. I think in other clubs this doesn't happen."
Conte insisted he is happy at Chelsea, will continue to work as a professional and will "never give up".

Albasini Ruins
Albasini Ruins — The Albasini Ruins are located at the Phabeni Gate and are the remains of the 19th century trading post of the famous Portuguese trader, Joao Albasini.
Albasini arrived in the then Portuguese-occupied port of Lourenco Marques (now Maputo, Mozambique) in the early 1800s and set up a trading business. He set up an extensive network of trading routes that reached inland as far as the Lowveld. By 1845, Albasini had established a vital trading post at Magashula's Kraal (now the site of the Albasini Ruins) which was positioned along two of the most active trading routes.
Legend has it that Magashula's Kraal was the first European settlement, where traders sought refuge from the disease-ridden Lowveld. Albasini and fellow intrepid traders lived under difficult conditions of poor trade and the threat of deadly diseases such as malaria and tsetse fly. Magashula's Kraal was renowned for its fine white bread, which was made from grain grown at the trading post. Admission (into Kruger Park complex): R372 (foreign adult), R186 (adults from SADC countries), R93 (adults from South Africa); R186 (foreign child), R93 (child from SADC countries), R47 (child from South Africa).

High street banks are preparing to set out how they will respond to the interest rate cuts likely to be sparked by the Brexit vote, amid expectations it could pressure them to cut jobs and earmark more branches for closure.
Lloyds Banking Group, in which taxpayers have a 9% stake, is facing questions from the City about any plans to step up its cost-cutting measures. This is because it is more closely linked to the UK economy than rivals with international operations.
The bank has embarked on a programme to cut £1bn from costs in the three years to 2017, which already involves 9,000 job cuts and 200 branch closures. There are expectations that this will be accelerated.
The bailed-out bank is among a number of high street banks reporting their results this week. Barclays and Virgin Money are also publishing their six-month figures at a time when bank share prices have been pummelled in the wake of the vote to leave the EU. The following week HSBC, Standard Chartered and the 73% taxpayer-owned Royal Bank of Scotland will report their trading for the first six months of 2016.
But analysts are more interested in banks' reaction to the EU vote, which could have a dramatic impact on the domestically focused banks if the economy slows and bad debts – or impairment charges – rise. Expectations are also mounting that the Bank of England will cut interest rates from an already historic low of 0.5% on 4 August, which will put pressure on bank profits.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley said: "We think the focus will be updates to guidance for core UK earnings post-referendum. We cut domestic UK banking earnings [by approximately] 20% post the vote as we expect margin pressure, lower loan growth and normalisation in impairment trends."
Gary Greenwood, an analyst at Shore Capital, said it would be difficult for banks to provide a clear outlook statement. "We might get more announcements around cost-cutting," he said. "The reasons why Lloyds could be aggressive on costs is their margins are being squeezed on low interest rates."
Approximately 45,000 roles had already gone at Lloyds since HBOS was rescued in 2008, before the latest round of cuts, and the workforce has fallen to about 75,000. In February, at the time of its results for 2015, Lloyds said it was ahead of its October 2014 plan to cut costs but provided no further detail.
Analysts will be waiting to see if António Horta-Osório, the chief executive, can decide how to wring further costs out of the business, which also owns Halifax. Lloyds would not comment on expectations of cost-cutting measures.
Analysts at Deutsche Bank: "Given the more difficult revenue environment we expect questions to management on potential further cost rationalisation."
The government has put on hold its plans to sell shares to the public and the views of the chancellor, Philip Hammond, on such a share offering are unclear. Its shares closed on Friday at 55.5p – below the 73.6p at which taxpayers break even on their stake – and amid expectations that plans for major dividends could be delayed.
At Barclays, which will report on Friday, its new chief executive, Jes Staley, will face questions about the bank's growth prospects and progress on selling its African arm.
It is a crunch week for banks across Europe as the results of stress tests on EU banks, including those in the UK, are published by the pan-European banking regulator on Friday.
The European Banking Authority is not issuing a pass or fail on the results, which are being announced while the focus is on Italian banks and the possibility they will need to raise more capital.
Analysts at Credit Suisse said that a "shallow recession is already priced in" for bank shares on stock markets across Europe. They added: "The EBA test could be a positive market event, showing the sector has improved its ability to withstand economic shocks."

It took a day for the trucks and another for this.
Trying to match the sides of the train with the tender so dark half way up then a touch a maple, then walnut itty bitty stuff.
There's really not that much to the tender other than the pain to make trucks.

Two Giants of the Civil Rights Movement
Saturday was the Women's March and today is MLK Day, making me reflect on the Civil Rights movement and social change in general. MLK represents many different things to so many people and I think everything we project on him can sometimes obscure the man and the many people around him, who fought just as hard and sacrificed just as much. And I think that was MLK's greatest gift and legacy-empowering, not only a nation, but each and every individual who came in contact with him to fight for justice and for what's right. Today, I want to write about two such people, two women who I deeply admire and can't help but be inspired by: Dorothy Height and Fannie Lou Hamer. Hopefully, this way I can pay my respects to the Women's March and MLK's and the Civil Rights Movement's legacy.

Government is yet to make a decision on how it will treat with the Leeward Island Air Transport (LIAT), hours after it was reported that the airline could drop T&T from its schedule of routes as it seeks to restructure amid financial burdens.
On Tuesday, St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonzalves hinted that LIAT could discontinue its service with T&T.
The cash-strapped airline is currently seeking an injection of US$5.4 million to help keep it in the sky and has taken matter to Caricom for assistance. But Gonzalves said so far only Grenada has responded positively to a minimum revenue guarantee (MRG) proposal. The MRG would represent funding from individual countries to ensure LIAT continues to fly to their destinations.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said LIAT has been flying uneconomic routes that were heavily subsidised, had enough cash for just ten days and could face a shutdown if Caricom does not intervene. T&T has a one per cent share in LIAT, so any failure of the airline could negatively impact the country.
LIAT services T&T with 53 outgoing flights a week, flying directly to Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Guyana, Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda.
At yesterday's post-Cabinet media briefing at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's, in response to Gonsalves' claims, Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Stuart Young said, "I don't have the specifics for that."
Young said following the PM's last meeting with Caricom heads earlier this month, he told the country that LIAT was one of the issues regional leaders had discussed, as the airline had indicated they were facing financial difficulties. (See Page A13)
Unable to say what triggered the recent reports in the newspapers, Young said he also heard "some suggestions that if T&T does not do certain things there could be a discontinuance of LIAT. "
As for the Government's position on the matter, Young said that was not within his purview. He said whichever entity is dealing with that, they would have the relevant details, referring the matter to the Ministry of Works and Transport and Finance Ministry, who he said "would inform us whether that is true" and "how we position ourselves."
Young made it abundantly clear in a follow-up question that at no point in time will the Government be funding LIAT.
"The Prime Minister did say on his last return from Caricom that we have a very small percentage shareholder. So what we were looking at is injections of equity. We don't really fall into that category."

The US NSA intelligence agency, supported by Britain's GCHQ, spied on hundreds of telecoms companies and their employees – including London-based trade body GSMA – to infiltrate and plant backdoors in mobile phone networks worldwide, according to the latest Snowden revelations.
Under its AURORAGOLD programme, the NSA tapped into 70 percent of the world's mobile phone networks between 2010 and 2012, a total of 701 of the estimated 985 networks.
It did this by intercepting the communications from around 1,200 email accounts associated with major mobile phone network operators.
This enabled the NSA to find security weaknesses and hack into the networks, by gaining details of their latest technology and encryption standards.
But according to documents seen by The Intercept - which has published a series of revelations based on material from whistleblower Edward Snowden - the spy agency also planted its own backdoors.
The Intercept says: "The documents reveal how the NSA plans to secretly introduce new flaws into communication systems so that they can be tapped into - a controversial tactic that security experts say could be exposing the general population to criminal hackers."
The report adds that "one of the prime targets monitored" was the UK-based GSMA (the GSM Association) which represents the interests of nearly 800 mobile operators worldwide.
"The files reveal that the NSA specifically targeted the GSMA's working groups for surveillance," The Intercept says.
The NSA focused on intercepting 'IR.21' documents shared among GSMA members, which detail the new technology and encryption methods used by mobile phone network operators. Its aim was to circumvent the latest mobile phone encryption algorithms such as A5/3 – and in this it was supported by GCHQ.
The Intercept says: "In 2009 GCHQ conducted a similar effort to subvert phone encryption under a project called OPULENT PUP, using powerful computers to perform a 'crypt attack' to penetrate the A5/3 algorithm.
"By 2011 GCHQ was collaborating with the NSA on another operation, called WOLFRAMITE, to attack A5/3 encryption."
The report shows AURORAGOLD helped the US military hack into cellphone networks in 'hostile' countries, such as Libya in 2011. But the NSA also targeted allied states.
The Intercept says a "top-secret world map" dated June 2012 "suggests that the NSA has some degree of 'network coverage' in almost all countries on every continent, including in the US and closely allied countries such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and France".
The information obtained was also shared with the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The revelations have raised concerns within the UK cyber-security community over the security of mobile phone networks, and the extent to which the NSA has planted backdoors or left open security gaps within them.
Tom Gaffney, a UK security consultant with F-Secure, told SCMagazineUK.com: "What it reveals is in addition to what Snowden's already shown us - which is that governments have various taps into the telecoms networks globally.
"Previously we always understood this was backdoors into them, and as we've seen with Vodafone through Cable & Wireless, occasionally the surveillance authorities would employ people to go and work at those telecoms.
"But this takes it another full step beyond that. They're trying to influence not only how the networks operate, but actually how they're designed. And fundamentally, putting backdoors into the networks is a very bad idea because of course they're open to anybody else."
Gaffney explained: "There is no such thing as backdoors only for governments. They will be exploited by criminals, by totalitarian governments. They will all use the same techniques once discovered. It absolutely opens the backdoor in for the kind of people monitoring networks that we don't want, that will affect democracy."
He was also concerned at the surveillance of GSMA as the trade body "crosses into standards and has influence on how networks standards are applied across the world".
John Walker, a Professor at Nottingham-Trent University and director of cyber-security consultancy ISX, was equally worried over the direction cyber-security is now moving.
He told SCMagazineUK.com via email: "For many years now there have been suspicions that products like encryption applications have been backdoor-ed, and there has been concerns that folk like the NSA have some very cosy relationships with telcos, and so their potential to access what is supposed to be secure is high.
"Realising we live in dangerous times, such actions should be anticipated. However, if this also dictates that applications are allowed to be compromised, or remain extant with known vulnerabilities, then I am really not sure what this says for the future of what we now call 'cyber-security'."
Asked for its response to The Intercept report, GSMA spokesperson Claire Cranton told SCMagazineUK.com via email: "We are currently investigating the claims made in the piece and are unable to offer any further comment at this time."
* The latest revelations coincide with the introduction of a new bill to the US Senate on 4 December that would specifically ban government agencies from introducing backdoors or security vulnerabilities into US mobile phones and computers. The bill's backer, Senator Ron Wyden, said his Secure Data Act aims "to protect Americans' privacy and data security".

State income tax increases on high-income residents can raise substantial revenues for investments in people and communities and are more likely to boost long-term productivity than harm short-term economic growth, according to a new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).
The facts about state millionaires' taxes
- States have increased their top income tax rates without harming their economies.
- Over the last 18 years, 15 of the 20 major studies examining states' income taxes found little to no effect on their economic growth.
- Millionaire tax flight is uncommon and, therefore, does not weaken state economies. Less than three percent of millionaire households moved to new states in a given year.
- High-income tax increases can help North Carolinians afford investments that decrease racial inequities, build economic opportunity, and spur growth, such as high-quality education, improved support for low-income families, and better roads and other infrastructure.
Millionaires in North Carolina have been benefiting from tax cuts since 2013. Before then, there was a graduated rate structure on personal income that taxed higher incomes at higher rates. In the first round of tax cuts in 2013, that was reduced to a flat tax rate of 5.75 percent. Since then, the tax rate has continued to be reduced and as of January 1, 2019, it stands at 5.25 percent. Since 2013, 75 percent of the net tax cuts have flowed to the top 1 percent of income earners in North Carolina; the average annual income for those taxpayers during that time was nearly $1 million.
As of November 2018, there is now a cap of seven percent on income tax rates in the state constitution. Millionaires are the primary beneficiaries as they receive more than 50 percent of the total net tax cut from the inability to raise rates to prior levels on higher income. A millionaires' tax in North Carolina at the capped seven percent rate could raise revenue for meaningful investments that ensure our children are ready to learn and reading by 3rd grade, connect people to health care, and allow our workers to upgrade their skills for emerging industries.

Finding Joy at Work
You'd struggle to find someone who doesn't get stressed out by something. For many, it's work. But that's no coincidence.
Stakes are high in the workplace. Stressful work environments are a common byproduct of environments full of busy people who desperately want to succeed. Luckily, finding joy at work isn't a complex art to master.
What's depleting your joy at work?
Is it the people? Is it the workload? Is it that manager who hassles you to work harder when she's the one standing around with her coffee? Or perhaps the economy is instilling fear in you about the prospect of losing your job.
Whatever it is, it's taking your joy away— and something should be done about that. It's within your power to lead a life of joy and peace, especially in a space you commit much of your energy to.
Your stressful work environment can actually be an opportunity to build resilience— and thus joy. Many spiritual teachers and psychologists suggest looking deeply into what makes us tick, whether that be a stressor, annoyance, deep fear, or a seemingly unmanageable colleague— all of which can be found in the workplace.
Working through stress to find joy at work
Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, suggests studying what bothers us about the exterior world in order to navigate through our own issues:
"Everything that irritates us can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." Further, Jung states"There's no coming to consciousness without pain."
Finding joy in a job isn't a matter of changing what's happening externally. It's a matter of changing how the external is processed internally. It's a matter of taking 100% responsibility for your internal condition while realizing joy can be a lasting state of being— not a fleeting emotion that depends on your external reality.
So what should you do the next time an intimidating deadline comes up or a coworker is triggering your anxiety and making joy at work seem impossible?
Use CBT to find joy at work
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the current gold standard in the mental wellness world— and for good reason. CBT literally increases happiness by changing thought patterns and perceptions to strike down anxiety and depression. And CBT isn't only for those with serious mental conditions, but for anyone looking to increase their joy among a worrisome world— or workplace.
Here are a few CBT techniques that'll benefit your mindset and performance at work. They're easy to begin immediately!
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness meditation is the practice of becoming present by use of breath, senses, and immediate surroundings. Meditation offers the opportunity to respond rather than react and observe rather than judge. These skills are effective to carry into a stressful workplace where stress, fear, and blame can thrive and unfortunately replace joy.
The beauty of journaling is that it can be done at your desk if needed. Journal to monitor your perspective and come up with creative solutions to benefit your workplace at large. For example, your job may feel rather monotonous at times. Perhaps your coworkers feel the same, creating a depressing, undesirable work environment. By journaling, not only will you process these feelings, but you'll be able to list creative solutions for the issue. Maybe you'll write how to spark up more meaningful conversations or create impactful, innovative ideas that get the excitement flowing. You'll find the possibilities are limitless!
Cognitive Restructuring
Changing your thoughts changes your reality. This one is especially powerful if you feel unfulfilled in your job. Cognitive restructuring can be as simple as a change in perspective. You may think your job is unfair and soul-depleting— but what if instead you focus on how lucky you are to be able to earn a living? You can buy food and maintain a safe place to live! How many people worldwide are wishing for a similar opportunity? By changing your perspective, you'll surely find joy at work. Further, you'll feel empowered to make more of a difference after filling yourself with gratitude. Imagine arriving to a workplace you feel grateful to be in. You'd feel good and enabled to make more of a positive impact in the work environment.
Bonus tips for creating a less stressful work environment
There are countless ways to make your workplace a more desirable place. You hold the power to influence your surroundings, especially after finding joy at work through CBT and self-reflection. Here are a few extra ways to make your job brighter!
- Spread joy to your colleagues. Send them love through compliments. Let them know you care about their lives outside of the workplace.
- Initiate conversation. Have you ever had a conversation that fueled your entire day? The world needs more of those. Your colleagues are social beings waiting to be inspired.
- Inspire action. Work environments can reach stagnation. Be the light that guides your colleagues through the dark patches of uncertainty. Remember that there's a creative solution to every problem. This is where the journaling can come in handy!
- Practice active listening. When others have their own ideas, remember to listen as if they're the best ideas ever. This will create a positive flow of energy and bring you closer to solutions. Active listening also drives others to be receptive to your ideas.
- Gift your colleagues plants. Know the birthdays of your colleagues and gift them small plants. They'll shine with appreciation while your workplace begins to glow with life and fresh air!
Instilling joy in a stressful work environment begins with you
The power's in your hands. You hold the capacity to uplift yourself and others. Another quote of Jung holds true:
"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people."
Creating joy at work is a matter of filling yourself with light that will spill over onto others. Healing is possible through exposure to work stress because it'll reveal your mental stagnations that could use some ironing out. After that self-revelation, you're sure to spread your newly established joy to your colleagues and thus your workplace at large.

The design of this poster takes up the stylistic device of the photogram, as used by Serge Vandercam, the Danish-born Belgian painter, photographer, sculptor and ceramicist. Reminiscent of the art of László Moholy-Nagy, his works embrace greatly reduced and seemingly abstract objects. In this poster, the use of intricate typography sets a counterpoint to the simple photographic stylistic device of the photogram, with the objective of giving the resulting ensemble a strong pictorial expression.

Every week I build a classic F1 car, and this week it's Michael Schumacher's first title-winning car, the 1994 Benetton B194!
It was pretty fun to build, especially the nose that is so characteristic of the Benetton cars, one of the first teams to experiment with a high-nose design back in the 1990s.
You can also vote for next week's car!
I'm secretly rooting for the Ferrari because it's such a gorgeous car and I've got a thing for 1980's F1 these days!
And I've posted the instructions and .io parts list if anyone wants to build there own there:
So see you next week for another one of these!

I created a pair of Addidas trainers for a recent cake I made and thought I would share with you how I made them. Firstly thank god for the internet! nowadays you can find templates for almost anything including trainers. I used a template I found on the internet (I did not make this myself!) but it didn't come with any instructions so after a bit of fiddling and cursing voila! I put some together for you.
These trainers can be adapted to any style, colour or branding of trainer you like and are great for little accessories to a themed can or a cake topper for a birthday!
If you too would like to make your very own mini fondant trainers you will need:
- White fondant
- Coloured fondant (your choice)
- 2 wooden skewers
- Shoe template (google fondant football shoe template)
- Corn flour for dusting
- Sugar glue
….And here we go!
Before you start here are some tips:
- Read and re-read the method from top to bottom before you start.
- Keep your work surfaces well dusted with cornflour you don't want anything sticking
- Try not to handle the fondant too much it gets sticky when its warm
- Don't use too much sugar glue, again the stickiness
- Don't worry about making mistakes, it's only fondant and you can always re-do sections!
1. Print off the shoe template to the size you want your shoe. Use the sole section as a template of how big the shoe will be. *Key point – don't try to make the shoe too big as the top has to be able to support itself*. Cut out each element and a template (don't lose any!)
2. Mix up your fondant in the colour you would like your shoe to be. Make sure you make enough for the whole shoe and 2 if you're doing a pair you don't want to have to mix up another batch and risk having 2 different colours. If you're buying ready mixed colour skip this point.
3. Start by rolling out the base of your shoe (white) onto a surface dusted with cornflour. Most sections of the shoe should be the same thickness. To make sure this happened I rolled the fondant between 2 wooden skewers with my rolling pin resting on both as you can see from the image below. Use the 'Platform' template to cut out the base.
4. Repeat the above step with either more white fondant for a deeper sole or your coloured fondant for a more football like shoe. Stick the 2nd base on top of the first with a small amount of sugar glue.
5. Roll out a small piece of your coloured fondant (between the skewers) and cut out your insole. Add any labels you need to the base now.
6. Stick this to the centre of the base make sure you leave a small lip around the edge.
7. Roll out a bigger piece of you coloured fondant (don't forget the skewers) and cut out the 'top' template. At this point if you are copying a specific shoe and they have stitching on the front area mark this out now as it will be more difficult when it's in place.
8. Run a small amount of sugar glue around the lip on base.
9. Carefully get the front the shoe in place, butting it against that lip you made earlier. I placed a small amount of screwed up cling film on the base to help me hold the shape. This bit is tricky but keep at it. Running the edge around the base, join the top shape at the back making sure it sits on that lip all the way round. Don't worry about the join this will be cover later.
10. Add a small about of sugar glue to join the back together. Pop your fingers in the opening to make sure the shape is as you like it. CAREFULLY stuff this with cling film to hold the shape (don't' over stuff you don't want it bursting at the seams).
11. Cut the larger arc from the template in your coloured fondant. This can be thinner than the previous pieces as its for decoration rather than structure. Using a small amount of sugar glue fix this to the back of the shoe at the bottom.
12. Cut the smaller arc from your white fondant and fix this at the top of the back of the shoe.
13. Cut the laces section from your coloured fondant and pop the holes in where the laces will go. Fix this around the slit in the opening at the top of the shoe.
14. At this point add any detailing, logos or remaining sticking to the shoe. I added 3 'Addidas' stripes to the side.
Almost done!
15. Cut out the tongue template using the skewer sticks for the thickness and add a label to the tongue if needed.
16. Run glue around the inside of the shoe and push the end of the tongue inside fixing it to the top. Re-stuff your cling film inside to keep it in place whilst the whole thing dries.
17. Lastly, add your laces, these can be either coloured or white depending on the look of your shoe. Simply roll the fondant out to the desired thickness and glue the ends into the hole you made earlier.
For a pair simply repeat the above but turn all the template over to make the right hand shoe.I would love to hear for you if you tried this and how it went!

Hotels attract clients with intriguing "take me there" photos and I want to share four gastronomically-themed images with you today.
Travellers are interested in local experiences, and what better experience than local cuisine?
A selection of cheeses from France, beautifully styled by the hotel´s chef, and a mouth-watering mango mousse in the Maldives – travellers seek out these special flavours. Someone might even make that trip specifically because the food photography and the quality of the image have literally whetted their appetite.
Hotel photographers need to create food and beverage "take me there" scenes.
In a top-notch hotel, where the clients may be rich in resources but poor in relaxation time, photography can tempt the viewer with that special moment.
Consider the photograph above of an idyllic moment, such as that warming sensation of a vintage brandy looking over Lake Lucerne backed by the snow-topped Alps with your significant other. Here the viewer sees no hotel, but they know that this hotel offers quality time out from a hectic modern-day life – and time is a luxury in our busy 24/7 world.
Our how about this scene below, great food styling at La Val Mountain Spa in Brigels, Switzerland.
Hotel photography has never been about photographing beds – it's all about the journey, the quality, the location and the experience.

I am horrible with surprises! Anytime I try to do something nice for Fiance I end up ruining the surprise by telling her. So I'm sharing my surprise with you guys so that I can get it out! I'm surprising my Fiance with Madonna tickets! We had talked about going a while ago when tickets first went on sale but we decided it was too expensive. The concert is today and I was browsing Stubhub and saw two tickets for a good price in our favorite spot. We love sitting first row in the upper level so that we can see the show without having to stand up the entire time. She's alseep right now (she works overnight shifts) so when she wakes up I'm just going to tell her I have a nice date planned then drive her to the concert!

Tel Aviv has reintroduced the idea of attacking Iran in the wake of a deadly military offensive in Gaza, which claimed over 1300 lives. In a Saturday night meeting with Quartet envoy Tony Blair, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak claimed that Iran's nuclear program threaten the stability of the region....
"So you should go kill them for us!"
Israel is really good at starting wars, so long as someone else pays for them. And Israel has a past history of hurling baseless accusations at other countries to justify attacks on them.
Israel made the exact same claims about Iraq leading up to the bombing of the Osirik power station in Iraq. Then it was Israel's spy within the Pentagon Office of Special Plans that fed much of the claims about Iraq's nuclear weapons to the White House, information which later proved to be lies.
After the United States invaded Iraq, the ruins at Osirik were inspected by the IAEA, and found to be remains of a power station, with no evidence of any weapons program. Likewise, the much ballyhooed weapons of mass destruction were a myth.
The recent Israeli attack on Gaza should teach us all a lesson. Israel started out claiming HAMAS had broke the cease fire, then had to backtrack and admit that it was Israel that fired the first shots on November 4th. Then after denying the use of white phosphorus over the populated areas of Gaza, Israel (unable to control the flow of damning photographs out of Gaza despite locking out the press) admitted using white phosphorus, but only as a smoke screen. Then the photos of the white phosphorus attack on the UN school surfaced and Israel said they would "look into it." Finally, the world will long remember Tzipi Livni insisting there were no civilian casualties even as the bodies of dead infants piled up, which Israel later tried (and failed) to dismiss with a claim that HAMAS was killing their own children just to make Israel look bad.
In short, Israel has a long history of "If at first you don;t succeed, lie, lie again" a disgusting habit our own government has sadly acquired through too many years of close association.At this point it is prudent to assume Israel is lying when it makes accusations against other countries, and that any "evidence" presented will be, like the Niger Documents purporting to prove Iraq was buying Yellowcake, hoaxes."

These words, pictures, pouring out of my heart are an attempt to share inspiration from my pursuits of riding, running, & living life passionately alongside others who do the same.
What You See Is What You Get
- Jeremy Adam Hargroves
- Asheville, Western NC, United States
- Now residing back in the mountains of western NC where I was born. I've spent the past 12 years mountain bike racing with many amazing riders all the way from Miami to the midwest. Mountain biking then turned to an endurance endeavor for me in 2002, competing in 12/24 hour, & 100 mile races. I found endurance was my calling , then in 2009 was introduced to endurance running through an amazing group of people in WNC & have since went on to participate in many ultra running events. I feel like the people I ride & run along side in the endurance world tend to be well rounded & driven by the better things in life, purely because you cant fake or be superficial in this endurance world. Everything I do in my life is to allow me the time & energy to keep pursuing my passion of adventure in whatever form it comes. I was gifted life & the gift of an active life by my still inspiring mother Nancy, whom I lost in 1999 to suicide. I've learned through my adventures & losses to have a blast, don't take your self to seriously, & keep going because there is no finish line. This goes out to you mom.

Guess Who in Ultra Running Magazine
About a month ago I ran into Mark(new course record holder @ Mt Mitchell Challenge) & Anne Lumblad. As we were chatting about different running adventures we had been pursuing recently, he mentioned in the May/June issue of Ultra Running Magazine that I was pictured in the write up about the Mt. Mitchell Challenge. So here it is, check it out.

San Francisco Trip 2011
March 16th through March 23 I spent 7 days adventuring the magical city of San Francisco with one of the dearest friends in my life. Every year I adventure to the west coast for a week or 2 to gain some perspective & inspiration. My best friend Jeremi McManus has lived in the Bay area for many years now & has always been the most amazing host & guide each time I'm out there, to say the least. This past week was refreshing, inspiring, & eye opening. SF is hard to believe sometimes, mainly because a huge group of the population in the city are there to 1st & foremost to live a quality life, as Jeremi would say, " DO YOU". At any given space & time while in the city, there was a good chance I was surrounded by a MD, a yogi, bike messenger, master chef, but somehow we all ended up at the same bar sharing drinks & expressing our like passions for experiencing the beauty this life has to offer. This profound likeness among every group I spent time with this week was always present & without having to share just one similar interest, we all connected in this wonderful place regardless of your bankroll, professional title, or one of the many other things we find our identity in. I had many of these opportunities to meet a lot of the folks above mentioned because of my dear friend Jeremi M., who exemplifies this passion & surrounds himself with amazing people who are equally passionate about life. I try to make every post here about inspiration, though we can go it alone & learn things out there in the world all by our lonesome. The more & more I try to challenge myself physically & do crazy things in search of those magical doors of inspiration, the most inspiration comes from these connections with other beating hearts. I want this post to be a shout out to you Jeremi, for this is what your pursuit has been as long as I've know you, to accept people & their dark sides, to never say I'm wrong & you're right, in all building beautiful connections that will last a life time. I will take the inspiration from this trip to fuel the flame to keep, growing, changing, loving, pedaling, & running.

Mt. Mitchell Challenge 2011
At 7am this past Saturday, I lined up with nearly 400 other runners to race the 2011 Mt. Mitchell Challenge. This is a 40 mile ultra running race taking you from the town of Black Mt., NC 20 miles to the top of the highest peak east of the Mississippi, Mt. Mitchell & then 20 miles back down. I felt very prepared from all the marathon/50k runs I've been doing with my local WNC trail runner crew. I started out strong with the front top 10 guys, who were setting a blistering pace for a 40 mile ultra, but that's what they do & I guess what I do now. The 1st turn onto trail separated & strung everyone out, so I just chilled & set into my pace. I knew to descend 20 miles back down the mountain, I would need to save a little. The weather was balmy & sunny, rather than feet of snow as years before. I scoured over the ice to reach the summit & turned around to come down feeling really good & ended up taking back 3 positions on the 20 mile decent, being fairly confident in my descending skills. All in all ended up slipping into 9th place with a 5 h & 41m finish. A beautiful day reminding my self to take in the beauty while pushing it very hard & so much inspiration from the runners I got to share this race with.

Priest set for arraignment on new charges in child-sex case
A suspended Roman Catholic priest faces arraignment before a federal magistrate in western Pennsylvania on additional charges that he traveled to Honduras to have sex with poor street children during missionary trips.
The Rev. Joseph Maurizio Jr. has been jailed since last fall when federal prosecutors in Johnstown accused him of molesting one boy, and possessing child pornography.
Wednesday's court appearance in Johnstown stems from a new indictment adding two new alleged victims and charges the priest sent $8,000 to a charity to help facilitate the trips which ended in 2009.
Maurizio's attorney, Stephen Passarello, says his investigative team in Honduras has line up witnesses to challenge the allegations, which the 69-year-old priest denies.
The defense attorney is also expected to challenge the government's request to keep the priest in jail until he stands trial.

I recieved Velvet Elvis yesterday. I can't wait to read it. I'm in the middle of A Generous Orthodoxy which is good. It confirms much of what I've been feeling over the last few years.
My wonderful husband bought me this. I felt a little sick as he paid for it and had to talk myself out of returning it several times. It's so hard for me to spend money on myself even if I have been saving up for 2 years for this paticular item.
We are going to Disneyland this weekend. I am so excited!
Is anyone else watching Heroes?

TURBO-AE is a computer code that enables detailed, highfidelity modeling of aeroelastic and unsteady aerodynamic characteristics for prediction of flutter, forced response, and bladerow interaction effects in turbomachinery.
Flow regimes that can be modeled include subsonic, transonic, and supersonic, with attached and/or separated flow fields. The three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically to obtain extremely accurate descriptions of unsteady flow fields in multistage turbomachinery configurations. Blade vibration is simulated by use of a dynamic-grid-deformation technique to calculate the energy exchange for determining the aerodynamic damping of vibrations of blades. The aerodynamic damping can be used to assess the stability of a blade row. TURBO-AE also calculates the unsteady blade loading attributable to such external sources of excitation as incoming gusts and blade-row interactions. These blade loadings, along with aerodynamic damping, are used to calculate the forced responses of blades to predict their fatigue lives. Phase-lagged boundary conditions based on the direct-store method are used to calculate nonzero interblade phase-angle oscillations; this practice eliminates the need to model multiple blade passages, and, hence, enables large savings in computational resources.
