From Siberia to St. Petersburg, Monday was a bad day at the office for some KHL goaltenders as teams racked up some big scores. SKA and Torpedo both hit seven, while Yugra put six on Avtomobilist. But there were some miserly displays elsewhere - Magnitka shut out Traktor to win 2-0 and in Riga there was a goalless 60 minutes as local Dinamo faced Dynamo Moscow.

Seventh heaven ...
SKA St. Petersburg thumped Vityaz Chekhov 7-0 with a dominant display. Maxim Rybin led the way with two goals and an assist; Tony Martensson also had three points and Denis Denisov and Igor Makarov both returned 1+1 on the game. For Vityaz the defeat comes just four days after a 9-1 hammering at Torpedo as the Chekhov side continues to struggle.

... and seven up
Torpedo was also among the goals again, beating Severstal 7-1 in Nizhny Novgorod. The scoring was shared between seven players, with the second period swinging the game decisively in favor of the hosts as they fired in four unanswered goals. The win continues a good start to 2012 for Torpedo, which also beat Dynamo 2-1 after that thrashing of Vityaz last week.

Six of the best
Stanislav Bocharov scored twice as Yugra beat struggling Avtomobilist 6-1 in Khanty Mansiysk. The contest was over before the first interval as the hosts ran up four unanswered goals. Avto got one back in the second session, but there was to be no dramatic recovery.

Magnitka leaves it late
The clash of the Eastern Conference high-flyers in Magnitogorsk produced a hard-fought game that was in doubt until the last seconds - but eventually Metallurg edged home 2-0 against Traktor Chelyabinsk. Maxim Sushinsky finally broke the deadlock on 56:02, and Tomas Rolinek sealed it with an empty-netter on 59:21. Ari Ahonen made 27 saves for the clean sheet.

Atlant fights back
The closest finish of the day came in Moscow Region, where Atlant battled back from 0-2 to beat Spartak in a shoot-out. Nikolai Zherdev was the architect of the fightback, scoring the equalizer and getting the assist on Jonas Andersson's goal. But he failed in the shoot-out, leaving Andrei Zubarev to claim the game-winning goal.

Salmela's treble
Finnish defenseman Anssi Salmela hasn't been in Omsk for long, but his performance on Monday suggests he's right at home in Siberia. He marked his 11th appearance for Avangard with a hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Barys Astana. His goals came in quick succession between 30:09 and 35:10 to give his team a 3-0 lead.

And goalies on top
Despite the goal glut elsewhere, Riga was the place to be for lovers of good goaltending. Christopher Holt and Alexei Volkov proved unbeatable for more than 60 minutes of hockey, making 62 saves between them before Janis Sprukts won it for Dinamo Riga in overtime. Holt was the key man, however, successfully repelling two Dynamo Moscow penalty shots in the second period as Leonid Komarov and Artyom Chernov failed to find a way through.

Dynamo recovers in summit clash. January 26 round-up

26 January 2014, 19:58

Dynamo Moscow did just enough to outlast third-placed Lev and sneak a 2-1 comeback win at Luzhniki. The home team, still smarting from Friday’s defeat to Dinamo Riga, conceded early when Justin Azevedo scored on Alexander Lazushin.

But Alexei Tsvetkov tied it up late in the second period, and Leo Komarov’s power play goal proved sufficient to give Dynamo the verdict as Lev’s push to tie the game was undone by penalty troubles.

Barys bounces back, Avangard is anxious
Barys returned to winning ways, but an overtime win at Avangard leaves the Omsk team’s play-off hopes on a knife-edge.

Following four defeats Barys was relieved to prevail here after a 4-4 tie, but after leading three times in regulation the Kazakh team may be disappointed not to have claimed all three points. In the event Konstantin Rudenko’s second of the night, 44 seconds into overtime, finally settled the affair. Earlier Brandon Bochenski also scored twice for Barys, while Dmitry Kalinin’s 50th-minute equalizer forced the game into extras.

Avangard now faces a difficult path to a play-off place: it has just four games left, all of them on the road. The pressure is on if Milos Riha’s team is to bring play-off hockey to Arena Omsk this year.

Dark horse Ugra joins the play-off battle
Ugra may yet prove to be the main beneficiary of Avangard’s stumble. In a clash of two in-form teams, the Khanty-Mansiysk outfit won in a shoot-out at Avtomobilist to move to within four points of eighth-placed Traktor.

Ugra clawed back a 0-2 deficit in the final period, with Radek Smolenak and Ilari Melart cancelling out earlier markers from Alexei Simakov and Fyodor Malykhin. Then in the shoot-out Nikita Gusev got the decisive goal.

Victory rekindles Ugra’s hopes of a post-season campaign – something which seemed unlikely after a poor run of form back in the fall.

Around the league
CSKA missed the chance to secure its play-off spot, falling to a 3-1 defeat at Torpedo. Victory would have confirmed a top-eight finish for the Army Men, but goals fromVyacheslav Kulyomin and Juuso Hietanen shot Torpedo to the win.

Dinamo Riga followed up its win in Moscow by battling to a shoot-out success at Ak Bars. Aleksandrs Nizivijs settled the outcome after a 2-2 tie. Earlier Ilya Nikulin had a goal and an assist as Ak Bars took a 2-0 lead, but Krisjanis Redlihs and Miks Indrasis brought Dinamo level.

A flawless shoot-out show saw Slovan win 2-1 at Vityaz in the meeting of two Western Conference outsiders. Earlier Martin Bakos put Slovan in front before Ivan Ivanov tied it up in the 46th minute.

Quang Tri (VNA) – The border guard force of the central province of Quang Tri, in cooperation with Lao authorised agencies, have arrested drug smugglers from Laos, seizing 200,000 methamphetamine pills.

On September 17, in a village in Muong Phin district of Laos’ Savannakhet province, the Quang Tri border guard and local security forces arrested two men, who were born in 1984 and 1976, for illegal possession and transportation of drugs. Both are residing in Khammouane province of Laos.

Aside from the pills, other items seized included a pickup truck and five removable licence plates. The case is under investigation.

Earlier on September 12, the forces caught a Lao national transporting methamphetamines to Vietnam. They seized 114,000 meth pills, a handgun, two bullets, one motorcycle, one mobile phone and related documents.

Colonel Le Van Phuong, chief of the Quang Tri border guard force, said the recent arrests of drug smugglers show the efforts and close collaboration between Quang Tri province and Laos’ authorised agencies.-VNA

Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar (31 May 1725 – 13 August 1795) was the Holkar Queen of the Maratha Malwa kingdom, India. Rajmata Ahilyabai was born in the village of Chondi in Jamkhed, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River.

Ahilyabai's husband Khanderao Holkar was killed in the battle of Kumbher in 1754. Twelve years later, her father-in-law, Malhar Rao Holkar, died. A year after that she was crowned as the queen of the Malwa kingdom. She tried to protect her kingdom from plundering invaders. She personally led armies into battle. She appointed Tukojirao Holkar as the Chief of Army.

Rani Ahilyabai was a great pioneer and builder of Hindu temples. She built hundreds of temples and Dharmashalas throughout India.

Early life[edit]

Ahilyabai was born on 31 May 1725 in the village of Chaundi, in the present-day Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra. Her father, Mankoji Rao Shinde, was the Patil of the village. Women then did not go to school, but Ahilyabai's father taught her to read and write.[citation needed]

Her entrance on to the stage of history was something of an accident: Malhar Rao Holkar, a commander in the service of the Maratha Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao and lord of the Malwa territory, stopped in Chaundi on his way to Pune and, according to legend, saw the eight-year-old Ahilyabai at the temple service in the village. Recognising her piety and her character, he brought the girl to the Holkar territory as a bride for his son, Khanderao (1723–1754). She was married to Khanderao Holkar in 1733. In 1745, she gave birth to their son Malerao and in 1748, a daughter Muktabai. Malerao was mentally unwell and died of his illness in 1767. Ahilyabai broke another tradition when she married her daughter to Yashwantrao a brave but poor man after he succeeded in defeating the dacoits.[citation needed]

Her husband was killed during the siege of Kumher in 1754.[1] In 1754, on request of support from Imad-ul-Mulk, the Mughal Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur's Mir Bakhshi, Ahilya Bai's husband Khanderao Holkar, in the army of his father Malhar Rao Holkar, laid the siege of Kumher fort of Jat Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur State who had sided with the Mughal Emperor's rebellious wazir Safdar Jang. Khanderao was inspecting his troops on an open palanquin in the battle of Kumher when was hit and killed by a cannonball from the Jat army. After his death in 1754, his father Malhar Rao prevented his wife Ahilya Bai from committing sati.[2] Malhar Rao Holkar died in 1766, 12 years after the death of his son Khanderao. Malhar Rao's grandson and Khanderao's only son Male Rao Holkar became the ruler of Indore in 1766, under the regentship of Ahilyabai, but he too died within few months on 5 April 1767. Ahilyabai became the ruler of Indore after the death of her son with Khanderao.[3][4]

A letter to her from her father-in-law Malhar Rao in 1765 illustrates the trust he had in her ability during the tempestuous battle for power in the 18th century:

"Proceed to Gwalior after crossing the Chambal. You may halt there for four or five days. You should keep your big artillery and arrange for its ammunition as much as possible....On the march you should arrange for military posts being located for protection of the road."

Already trained to be a ruler, Ahilyabai petitioned the Peshwa after Malhar's death, and the death of her son, to take over the administration herself. Some in Malwa objected to her assumption of rule, but the army of Holkar supported her leadership. She led them in person, with four bows and quivers of arrows fitted to the corners of the howdah of her favourite elephant. The Peshwa granted her permission on 11 December 1767, and, with Subhedar Tukojirao Holkar (Malharrao's adopted son) as the head of military matters, she proceeded to rule Malwa in a most enlightened manner, even reinstating a Brahmin who had opposed her. Ahilyabai daily public audience and was always accessible to anyone who needed her ear.

Among Ahilyabai's accomplishments was the development of Indore from a small village to a prosperous and beautiful city; her own capital, however, was in nearby Maheshwar, a town on the banks of the Narmada river. She also built forts and roads in Malwa, sponsored festivals and gave donations for regular worship in many Hindu temples. Outside Malwa, she built dozens of temples, ghats, wells, tanks and rest-houses across an area stretching from the Himalayas to pilgrimage centres in South India. The Bharatiya Sanskritikosh lists as sites she embellished, Kashi, Gaya, Somnath, Ayodhya, Mathura, Hardwar, Kanchi, Avanti, Dwarka, Badrinarayan, Rameshwar and Jaganathpuri. Ahilyadevi also supported the rise of merchants, farmers and cultivators to levels of affluence, and did not consider that she had any legitimate claim to their wealth, be it through taxes or feudal right.

There are many stories of her care for her people. In one instance, when her minister refused to allow the adoption unless he was suitably bribed, she is said to have sponsored the child herself, and given him clothes and jewels as part of the ritual. To honour the memory of Ahilyadevi Holkar, in 1996 leading citizens of Indore instituted an award in her name to be bestowed annually on an outstanding public figure. The Prime Minister of India gave away the first award to Nanaji Deshmukh.

Ahilyadevi was not able to settle the conflict peacefully in the case of the Bhils and Gonds, who plundered her borders; but she granted them waste hilly lands and the right to a small duty on goods passing through their territories. Even in this case, according to Malcolm, she did give "considerate attention to their habits".

Ahilyabai's capital at Maheshwar was the scene of literary, musical, artistic and industrial enterprise. She entertained the famous Marathi poet, Moropant and the shahir, Anantaphandi from Maharashtra, and also patronised the Sanskrit scholar, Khushali Ram. Craftsmen, sculptors and artists received salaries and honours at her capital, and she even established a textile industry in the city of Maheshwar.

After her death, she was succeeded by Tukoji Rao Holkar I, her commander-in-chief, who soon abdicated the throne in favour of his son Kashi Rao Holkar in 1797.

Views about her[edit]

Statue of Ahilybai Holkar, Maheshwar

"The reign of Ahilyabai, of Indore in central India, lasted for thirty years. This has become almost legendary as a period during which perfect order and good government prevailed and the people prospered. She was a very able ruler and organizer, highly respected during her lifetime, and considered as a saint by a grateful people after her death."[5] An English poem written by Joanna Baillie in 1849 reads:[6]

"For thirty years her reign of peace,
The land in blessing did increase;
And she was blessed by every tongue,
By stern and gentle, old and young.
Yea, even the children at their mothers feet
Are taught such homely rhyming to repeat
"In latter days from Brahma came,
To rule our land, a noble Dame,
Kind was her heart, and bright her fame,
And Ahlya was her honoured name."

"The Great Maratha lady who affords the noblest example of wisdom, goodness and virtue. One english writer quoted that which Akbar is among male sovereigns, is Ahlia Baie among female sovereigns".[7]

"Ahilyabai's extraordinary ability won her the regard of her subjects and of the other Maratha confederates, including Nana Phadnavis. Collecting oral memories of her in the 1820s, Sir John Malcolm, the British official most directly concerned with the 'settlement' of central India, seems to have become deeply enamoured of her. "With the natives of Malwa ... her name is sainted and she is styled an avatar or Incarnation of the Divinity. In the most sober view that can be taken of her character, she certainly appears, within her limited sphere, to have been one of the purest and most exemplary rulers that ever existed". (J. Malcolm) [8] John Keay called her 'The Philosopher Queen', a reference perhaps to the 'Philosopher king' Bhoj:

"Ahilyabai Holkar, the 'philosopher-queen' of Malwa, had evidently been an acute observer of the wider political scene. In a letter to the peshwa in 1772 she had warned against association with the British, and likened their embrace to a bear-hug: "Other beasts, like tigers, can be killed by might or contrivance, but to kill a bear it is very difficult. It will die only if you kill it straight in the face, Or else, once caught in its powerful hold, the bear will kill its prey by tickling. Such is the way of the English. And in view of this, it is difficult to triumph over them."[9]

"This great ruler in Indore encouraged all within her realm to do their best, Merchants produced their finest cloths, trade flourished, the farmers were at peace and oppression ceased, for each case that came to the queens notice was dealt with severely. She loved to see her people prosper, and to watch the fine cities grow, and to watch that her subjects were not afraid to display their wealth, lest the ruler should snatch it from them. Far and wide the roads were planted with shady trees, and wells were made, and rest-houses for travellers. The poor, the homeless, the orphaned were all helped according to their needs. The Bhils who had long been the torment of all caravans, were routed from their mountain fastnesses and persuaded to settle down as honest farmers. Hindu and Musalman alike revered the famous Queen and prayed for her long life. Her last great sorrow was when her daughter became a Sati upon the death of Yashwantrao Phanse. Ahalya Bai was seventy years old when her long and splendid life closed. Indore long mourned its noble Queen, happy had been her reign, and her memory is cherished with deep reverence unto this day." (Annie Besant[10]

"From the original papers and letters, it becomes clear that she was first-class politician, and that was why she readily extended her support to Mahadji Shinde. I have no hesitation in saying that without the support of Ahilyabai, Mahadji would never have gained so much importance in the politics of northern India." (Historian Judunath Sarkar)[citation needed]

"Definitely no woman and no ruler is like Ahilyabai Holkar." (Nizam of Hyderabad)[citation needed]

"It reveals beyond doubt that all ideal virtues described by Plato and Bhismacharya were present in her personality like Dilip, Janak, Shri Ram, Shri Krishna and Yudhishthir. After through scrutiny of the long history of the world we find only one personality of Lokmata Devi Ahilya that represents an absolutely ideal ruler." (Arvind Javlekar)[11]

A commemorative stamp was issued in her honour on 25 August 1996 by the Republic of India.[12]

As a tribute to the great ruler, Indore domestic airport has been named Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport. Similarly, Indore university has been renamed as "Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya".[citation needed]

It was the speciality of Holkar family that they did not use public funds to meet their personal and family expenses. They had their personal fund from their private property. Ahilyabai inherited personal funds which at that time was estimated to be sixteen crores rupees. Ahilyabai used personal fund in charitable works.[13]

Tzedakah [tsedaˈka] or Ṣ'daqah [sˤəðaːˈqaː] in Classical Hebrew (Hebrew: צדקה), is a Hebrew word literally meaning "justice" or "righteousness", but commonly used to signify charity[1] Notably, this concept of "charity" is different from the modern Western understanding of "charity", which is typically understood as a spontaneous act of goodwill and a marker of generosity, as tzedakah is rather an ethical obligation. In Judaism, tzedakah refers to the religious obligation to do what is right and just, which Judaism emphasizes is an important part of living a spiritual life. Thus, unlike voluntary philanthropy, tzedakah is seen as a religious obligation that must be performed regardless of one's financial standing, and is considered mandatory even for those of limited financial means. More broadly, tzedakah is considered to be one of the three main acts that can positively influence an unfavorable heavenly decree.

The word tzedakah is based on the Hebrew (צדק, Tzedek) meaning righteousness, fairness or justice, and is related to the Hebrew word Tzadik, meaning righteous as an adjective (or righteous individual as a noun in the form of a substantive). Although the word appears 157 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible, typically in relation to "righteousness" per se, its use as a term for "charity" in the above sense is an adaptation of Rabbinic Judaism in Talmudic times.

In the Middle Ages, Maimonides conceived of an eight-level hierarchy of tzedakah, where the highest form is to give a gift, loan, or partnership that will result in the recipient becoming self-sufficient, instead of living upon others; in his view, the second highest form of tzedakah is to give donations anonymously to unknown recipients.[2]

Precedents in ancient Israel[edit]

The Hebrew Bible teaches the obligation to aid those in need, but does not employ one single term for this obligation.[3] The term tzedekah occurs 157 times in the Masoretic Text, typically in relation to "righteousness" per se, usually in the singular, but sometimes in the plural tzedekot, in relation to acts of charity.[4][5] In the Septuagint this was sometimes translated as eleemosyne, "almsgiving."[6][7][5]

In rabbinical literature of the classical and Middle Ages[edit]

In classical rabbinical literature, it was argued that the Biblical regulations concerning left-overs only applied to corn fields, orchards, and vineyards, and not to vegetable gardens; the classical rabbinical writers were much stricter in regard to who could receive the remains. It was stated that the farmer was not permitted to benefit from the gleanings, and was not permitted to discriminate among the poor, nor try to frighten them away with dogs or lions (Hullin 131a, Pe'ah 5:6)[8] the farmer was not even allowed to help one of the poor to gather the left-overs. However, it was also argued that the law was only applicable in Canaan, (Jerusalem Talmud. Pe'ah 2:5) although many classical rabbinical writers who were based in Babylon observed the laws there (Hullin 134b)[9] it was also seen as only applying to Jewish paupers, but poor non-Jews were allowed to benefit for the sake of civil peace.[10]

Maimonides lists his Eight Levels of Giving, as written in the Mishneh Torah, Hilkhot matanot aniyim ("Laws about Giving to Poor People"), Chapter 10:7–14:

  1. Giving an interest-free loan to a person in need; forming a partnership with a person in need; giving a grant to a person in need; finding a job for a person in need, so long as that loan, grant, partnership, or job results in the person no longer living by relying upon others.
  2. Giving tzedakah anonymously to an unknown recipient via a person (or public fund) which is trustworthy, wise, and can perform acts of tzedakah with your money in a most impeccable fashion.
  3. Giving tzedakah anonymously to a known recipient.
  4. Giving tzedakah publicly to an unknown recipient.
  5. Giving tzedakah before being asked.
  6. Giving adequately after being asked.
  7. Giving willingly, but inadequately.
  8. Giving "in sadness" (giving out of pity): It is thought that Maimonides was referring to giving because of the sad feelings one might have in seeing people in need (as opposed to giving because it is a religious obligation). Other translations say "Giving unwillingly."

In practice[edit]

In practice, most Jews carry out tzedakah by donating a portion of their income to charitable institutions, or to needy people that they may encounter; the perception among many modern-day Jews is that if donation of this form is not possible, the obligation of tzedakah still requires that something be given. Traditional Jews commonly practice ma'sar kesafim, tithing 10% of their income to support those in need.

Special acts of tzedakah are performed on significant days; at weddings, Jewish brides and bridegrooms would traditionally give to charity, to symbolise the sacred character of the marriage; at Passover, a major holiday in Jewish tradition, it is traditional to be welcoming towards hungry strangers, and feed them at the table; at Purim it is considered obligatory for every Jew to give food to one other person, and gifts to at least two poor people,[11] in an amount that would equate to a meal each, for the purpose of increasing the total happiness during the month.

As for the more limited form of tzedakah expressed in the biblical laws, namely the leaving of gleanings from certain crops, the Shulchan Aruch argues that during the exile Jewish farmers are not obliged to obey it.[12] Nevertheless, in modern Israel, rabbis of Orthodox Judaism insist that Jews allow gleanings to be consumed by the poor and by strangers, and all crops (not just gleanings) by anyone and everyone (free, not bought nor sold) during sabbatical years.[13]

In addition, one must be very careful about how one gives out tzedakah money. It is not sufficient to just give to anyone or any organization, rather, one must check the credentials and finances to be sure that your Tzedakah money will be used wisely, efficiently and effectively "Do not steal from a poor person, for (s)he is poor," (Proverbs 22:22) and from Talmudic-era commentaries including Numbers Rabba 5:2. It is taught that Tzedakah money was never yours to begin with; rather, it always belongs to God, who merely entrusts you with it so that you may use it properly. Hence it is your obligation to ensure that it is received by those deserving of it.

There are many examples of Tzedakah funds that operate according to Maimonides' principles above (particularly #2), including Hands on Tzedakah (working with nonprofits in the U.S. and in Israel), and Mitzvah Heroes Fund (working mainly with nonprofits in Israel). Paamonim is a nonprofit organization in Israel that operates according to Maimonides' first principle.

Gaon of Vilna considered about giving Tzedaqah to all householders in our city with tax-benefit.

Analogous concept in Islam[edit]

The primary counterpart in Islam is Zakat (Arabic: زكاة), as that refers to one's religious obligation based on those Muslims who meet the necessary criteria of wealth.[14]

computer-aided design (CAD)

The analysis and/or design, and/or modeling, and/or simulation, and/or layout of building design with the aid of a computer.

(Computer-Aided Design) Using high-speed desktop computers to design products. Either a mouse or graphics tablet is used for the physical drawing, and a scanner may be attached for additional input. The output of a CAD system is often electronically transmitted to a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system or 3D printer, which builds the objects (see CAD/CAM and 3D printing).

Generic or Specialized
CAD software is available for generic design or specialized uses, such as architectural, electrical and mechanical. The software may also be highly specialized for creating products such as printed circuits and integrated circuits.

Solid and Parametric Modeling
More complex forms of CAD are solid modeling and parametric modeling, which allows objects to be created with real-world characteristics. For example, in solid modeling, objects can be sectioned (sliced down the middle) to reveal their internal structure. In parametric modeling, objects have meaningful relationships with each other (a door must be on a wall, not the floor; holes cannot be drilled too close to the edge, etc.). See wireframe modeling, surface modeling, solid modeling, parametric modeling, graphics and CAE.

Two or Three Dimensions
While 2D CAD programs work for some applications, they are essentially the computer counterpart to hand-drawn objects. In contrast, 3D CAD enables objects to be drawn with sides, top and bottom so they can be manipulated as a whole and viewed from any angle.

PhIII bust forces Ultragenyx to scrap drug for rare muscle disease

Emil Kakkis, Ultragenyx

Analysts had been speculating that a success in Ultragenyx’s Phase III study of Ace-ER for rare cases of GNE myopathy could trigger some near-term regulatory filings. Now, they’re being forced to write it off completely as investigators report that the drug failed the primary and secondary endpoints, spurring the biotech to write it off completely.

The primary goal for the Phase III study of Aceneuramic Acid Prolonged Release, which enrolled more than 80 patients, was a composite test for upper extremity muscles. The secondaries also focused on muscle strength as well. But after reporting what it terms encouraging mid-stage data, the therapy flunked the pivotal test.

Shares of Ultragenyx slid 10% on the news.

GNEM is a severe muscle disease caused by an enzyme deficiency.

Novato, CA-based Ultragenyx $RARE had tried, and failed to win over European regulators for a conditional approval after its expert advisors concluded last year that they wanted to see the Phase III data before they approved the marketing. For some analysts like Leerink’s Joseph Schwartz, the Phase II data left a lot to be desired. He noted:

Investors may recall that the earlier 48-week Ph.2 study was designed to serve as a hypothesis-generating exploration study. This Ph.2 study had other issues including a small sample size, a lack of primary endpoint, and a pre-specified unblinding that all contributed to the investors’ lowered sentiment. Although mgmt. expressed optimism that a Ph.3 study would address the preceding trial’s weaknesses and demonstrate more robust efficacy data, we believe that progress on this asset and the prospects of GNEM was not a priority amongst investors.

Ultragenyx has a number of projects in the clinic, and will turn to the other work as it completes last rites for Ace-ER. There’s a BLA being planned for burosumab, a drug developed with Japan’s Kyowa Hakko Kirin that posted positive Phase III results in April for X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). But the biotech has also had other recent setbacks, including a failed Phase II for UX007 , which was tested as a treatment for glucose transporter type-1 deficiency syndrome—or Glut1 DS—among a small group of patients. The drug only cut the rate of seizures in the drug arm by 13.4% compared to the placebo arm, falling short of statistical significance.

“We are disappointed by these results, as we had hoped that Ace-ER would offer a new option for GNEM patients. We would like to thank the patients, caregivers, and investigators involved in the Ace-ER development program,” said Emil Kakkis, CEO at Ultragenyx. “This outcome does not affect our overall strategy, as the company moves forward with multiple preclinical and clinical programs and regulatory filings.”

Latest update on climate adaptation finance

The SDG Knowledge Hub of the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) provides the July update on global developments in climate finance for adaptation.

Climate Adaptation Finance Update: Caribbean Resilience Receives Boost

Over the month of July, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) approved a number of grants that will support climate and disaster risk resilience in Caribbean countries. The Adaptation Fund, which is celebrating its 10-year operational anniversary in 2017, approved US$20 million in new project funding. Countries in Africa and Latin America will receive support for projects that build on the synergies of sustainable agriculture and climate action.

CDB and EU Support Resilience in the Caribbean

In July, the CDB approved a series of grants that support climate and disaster risk resilience in Caribbean Forum countries and are funded through the African Caribbean Pacific-EU-CDB Natural Disaster Risk Management (ACP-EU-CDB NDRM) programme.

In Jamaica, a €219,000 grant will enable the upgrading of a damaged flood early warning system at a major river. The country will also receive a €332,000 grant for strengthening disaster risk management capacities at a vulnerable municipality through enhanced planning, policy integration, geographical information systems (GIS) and community resilience.

Two regional-level capacity-building projects were also approved. The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology will receive €773,000 for strengthening national and regional institutional capacity for weather and climate forecasting and for developing climate early warning systems for the health sector, aimed at predicting mosquito-borne disease outbreaks. Another grant (amount undisclosed) will assist the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency in its work on strengthening emergency response procedures in participating States through planning, development of guidelines and a workshop.

Tajikistan, in Central Asia, will also receive support for disaster risk preparedness and climate resilience. Between 1992 and 2016, the country is estimated to have suffered US$41.8 billion in economic losses from natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes and landslides. Funded by the World Bank and implemented with the UN Development Programme (UNDP), funding totaling US$50 million will support proactive approaches by crisis management centers and entities responsible for disaster risk identification.

Adaptation Fund Turns 10, Approves US$20 Million in New Funding

Also in July, the Adaptation Fund Board approved funding, totaling US$20.4 million, for one country-level and two regional projects. A US$14 million capacity-building project on the Colombian-Ecuadorian border, implemented by the World Food Programme (WFP), will aim to improve food security and autonomy among local populations through reviving traditional and local knowledge with various co-benefits, including climate change resilience. In East Africa, a US$5 million capacity-building project will support the integration of climate resilience measures into transboundary water catchment management. Also, a US$1.3 million project in Senegal will support infrastructure resilience through improving the resilience of mangroves in a number of coastal communities.

Marking its 10-year operational anniversary, the Adaptation Fund is publishing a series of articles and short stories that highlight its partnerships and project successes, including the Fund’s work on resilience-building with the UNDP and support to a community lending model in Antigua and Barbuda. The Fund also released two short documentaries that demonstrate how its projects are delivering results in Guatemala by promoting the reintroduction of cocoa production and by supporting community-level adaptive capacities.

Agriculture and Food Security Efforts in Latin America and Africa Funded

New CDB funding also included a US$295,000 technical assistance grant for Guyana to develop a framework to guide nationwide agricultural adaptation measures. A large share of the country’s population is employed by agriculture, which is threatened by rising sea levels and increasing rainfall and temperatures. The project will identify vulnerable areas and promote the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices.

In Zambia, funding was announced for two projects that support food security and climate action. The World Bank announced US$17 million to the Zambia Integrated Forest Landscape project, which will promote climate-smart agriculture and sustainable landscape management practices in the country’s Eastern Province. The project will also aim to generate funds of up to US$30 million through the World Bank’s BioCarbon Fund from resulting emissions reductions. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) will provide a US$21.2 million loan and US$1 million grant for the Enhanced Smallholder Agribusiness Promotion Programme (E-SAPP), which is also receiving US$3.4 million in co-financing from the private sector. The project will facilitate a transition from subsistence to business-oriented farming and includes interventions to support the integration of climate risk into relevant policies.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF)-financed Integrated Approach Programme on Fostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security in sub-Saharan Africa was launched in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Running for five years, the US$116 million programme, which is supported by several multilateral development agencies and banks, will promote sustainable natural resources management, smallholder farmers’ resilience and food security in countries that are facing simultaneous challenges from land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change

In Kenya, which has been facing severe drought and famine for several months, the African Development Bank (AfDB) announced US$1 million emergency humanitarian assistance for delivery of food aid and water purification supplies. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have previously drawn attention to the role of climate change in exacerbating the drought and humanitarian crises in East African countries, including Kenya.

Work on On-the-ground Gender Mainstreaming Advances

A workshop by the CDB-managed, multi-donor Community Disaster Risk Reduction Fund, held in Belize, sought to enable local stakeholders to understand how gender considerations can be integrated into a local adaptive capacity-building project. Interventions highlighted included gender-sensitive infrastructure design, and public awareness and training.

The Nordic Development Fund (NDF) highlighted lessons from a regional project in Asia aimed at harnessing climate change mitigation initiatives to benefit women, which has engaged in policy development, institutional support and gender-inclusive pilot interventions. The regional project has provided lessons for another NDF-funded gender mainstreaming project in Cambodia, which has already resulted in the inclusion of climate change mitigation consideration into two ministries’ gender mainstreaming policies.

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate (OAA), an important metabolic reaction in a wide range of organisms. Small molecules directed against PC would enable detailed studies on the metabolic role of this enzyme and would have the potential to be developed into pharmacological agents. Currently, specific and potentsmall molecule regulators of PC are unavailable. To assist in efforts to find, develop, and characterize small molecule effectors of PC, a novel fixed-time assay has been developed based on the reaction of OAA with the diazonium salt, Fast Violet B (FVB), which produces a colored adduct with an absorbance maximum at 530 nm. This fixed time assay is reproducible, sensitive and responsive to known effectors of Rhizobium etli PC, Staphylococcus aureus PC, and Listeria monocytogenes PC, and is highly amenable to high-throughput screening. The assay was validated using a plate uniformity assessment test and a pilot screen of a library of 1280 compounds. The results indicate that the assay is suitable for screening small molecule libraries to find novel small molecule effectors of PC.

Beautiful destination, the photo's are true to colour and beauty. The bulk of the crew were very good but there was one exceptionally rude girl and we noted tips were not forth coming for the crew - I would imagine thanks to her. The boat trip was long to the islands but comfortable. They never asked us to put life jackets on?? The stops were amazing but spoilt by how many people on board and how many boats arrived at the same time. It was incredibly difficult to get a photo anywhere without hundreds of people in it. Lunch was pretty average. For such beautiful islands it is such a shame to see tourists litter, a lot of rubbish on the beach and ocean. The islands are definitely worth the trip, its just such a shame how many people are with you.

Did not do this trip they did not get enough billings

Similan Island water is truly as blue as it is in this picture, no doubt a gorgeous part of the world. Well organised, wonderful attentive staff. Really enjoyed the first Island, second Island where we had lunch was just so overcrowded that you literally had to walk over people on the beach, I mean step over them. To get any sort of swim you needed to go pretty far out from the beach because in the water you were always bumping into people. Its a national park and it was disheartening to see it being abused in such a manner, literally having thousands on the beach at the same time is doing so much damage. The reason I gave this a 4 was because Ill remember the colour of that water forever and also the staff. I would of liked to have seen fewer people on the boat, it was very crowded.

, feb 2018

The water was amazing. the beaches were incredible. Next time we will plan to stay a few nights on Similan Island. The snorkeling was the best of the trip. Bring your Go-Pro, you will not want to miss a thing.

, feb 2018

The activities were great but the travel time to and from Patong beach is long and the boat ride to get to the islands is so horrible 4 of us were sick and the boat banging on the water was horrible, my boyfriend was thrown across the boat once. But the return ride was ok. The guide explained that its because of the morning winds. My advice take a medication before you leave. The crew was great. Lunch was ok. Beautiful fish to see.

, ene 2018

Really Highly recommended...

, ene 2018

Wonderful experience and a MUST for Thailand. Such a fun crew we had and all the activities were well ran.

, ene 2018

Very well organized!
The location was absolutely beautiful as well.

, ene 2018

The Similan islands are pretty, but they are not the Phi Phi island. I did see an octopus and shoal of fish, but overall the snorkeling conditions weren't the best. I think there were just too many people and too many boats. The islands were pretty crowded as well. The short hike on the Similan Island was pretty great, even though there were too many people on the track.

, nov 2017

The crew were amazing especially Mahn. The trip was well worth the money. Never short of snacks or drinks especially after the excursion, there are more food options at the port including a lovely coconut milk based icecream! The similan islands are paradise and we got to see dolphins on the way!

Professional Stump Removal

Do you have a bothersome stump sitting in your yard? On the off chance that you do, it likely impedes your general scene’s appearance, and can turn into a peril to visitors and kids too. The most intelligent activity is dispose of the stump as quickly as time permits, but since the underlying foundations of a tree can be so profound, this can be unbelievably troublesome. You’d require significant hardware and apparatuses to uncover the whole tree root, and this could possibly destroy your whole yard therefore. Luckily there’s a less demanding approach to get things done, and that is

Golden Roads

This weekend I’ll be racing at Tour de Phuket with the crew from CycoSports. Set at Phuket’s Thanyapuran Sports Resort on the island of Phuket, the race includes a explosive ITT Prologue and two road stages. Keen to learn the roads before the race, Peter Morgan and I headed over a couple days early to recce the routes.

An early morning flight from Singapore had us on the ground in Phuket in time to build our bikes and set out before lunch. Realising the huge task to get from our villa in the southern part of the island up to the course, we instead choose to ride the western coastal road, from Kata up to Thanyapura via Patong and Surin.

Peter had a few equipment hiccups, but we didn’t let that get in the of an awesome road. What lay ahead of us wasn’t a hugely long ride, but it would introduce us to the back breaking Thai climbs of twenty plus percentage grades. The plan was to enjoy the flats, and test the legs on the climbs.

After a brief coast along the coast, the road turned up over the hills between Karon and Patong. The three kilometre segment contains three sharp ascents, peaking at nineteen percent. By the time we hit the third, the legs were starting to learn that this was no usual ride.

It’s hard to describe just how different it is to be in Phuket on a road bike. I’ve been here dozens of times over the years, but on the bike that place takes on an entirely new meaning. Yes, the road are crazy, but the motorists just flow with cyclists. Even as we crest the climbs. I felt confident to use more of the road as we speed down the twisting descents.

Phuket Recce.jpg

After the first series of climbs, we were able to enjoy a flat ride along Patong Beach. We took a moment to soak up the tourist scene along the beach. We both knew what lay ahead, the epic ascent of Kamala. Just under a kilometre in length, the road meanders the step mountain face at an average grade of eleven percent, but peaks at twenty-one percent.

Amongst the crazy Thai traffic, we churned the legs to push up the step ascent, averaging over 300 watts. Climbs in Thailand are nothing like Singapore, they are steeper, longer and crazier. Making for an epic challenge of the man and machine.

I can see myself falling in love with riding in Thailand. The charm of the country mixed with it’s amazing terrain makes for a pleasurable ride, even when your punishing yourself.

Our ride coasted over the flats between Surin and Thanyapura, with a brief visit to Siam Bike Tours. Arriving at Thanyapura, we couldn’t help but stare in awe. This state of the art facility would be the head quarters for the Tour. A purpose built sporting facility like I’ve never seen before. Can’t wait to check-in on Friday

Free Book

Small cover of “Dear Son: Do you really want to be an American?” by Stephen G. EsratiFrom the author (my Dad):

It was 1970 and I was working at The (Toronto) Globe and Mail, a paper that had the nerve to claim it was one of the 10 best newspapers in the world. But I got my news from the CBS station in Buffalo and The New York Times. Our son, David was 8 and I was 43. The thought hit me that in just 10 years David would be faced with a momentous choice, to be a Canadian or to go to the American Consulate to assert his U.S. citizenship.

The Vietnam war was on and Tricky Dickie was in the White House. The United States had just illegally invaded Cambodia. Ohio National Guardsmen had just killed four students at Kent State. Was that the country I could recommend to David?

I sat down at my typewriter and did what writers do. I wrote a book — for David. I told him about his hometown in Celina, Ohio, about the Hough and Glenville riots in Cleveland, and about my run-in with the machinery of “loyalty,” which denied me an army commission and got me thrown out of R.O.T.C.
I also told him about the American dream, of a country living up to its Fourth of July speech,
It is not a dull read.

From me:

Not every kid gets a civics lesson for his seventeenth birthday, written by his father, to help him make one of the most important decisions of his life, but I did.

It was an incredible gift then, and it’s even better now, post 9/11, post “Patriot Act” and when Americans are faced with a new reality— one where America isn’t the most loved country in the world as it once was.

Written around 1969 in Toronto Canada, where we were living, my father thought it might be a good idea to provide me a handbook on the country we left while I was too young to understand what democracy was, or why there were National Guard troops standing outside our apartment’s entrance. It was to be read in 1980, when he thought I’d have to declare my citizenship as Canadian and renounce my native land—or go home.

That decision was made for me- we moved back in 1971, but the book was still given to me when I was old enough to understand the principles of the United States and where we get it right— and wrong.

Today, this look at what our country is, and what it was meant to be, is even more relevant. For people who want to know why David Esrati is the way he is, this may be the best place to start.

My father and I are giving away this gift, sharing it with the world, in the hope that a better-informed public may help restore the ideals and dreams of the founding fathers.

FOODENGINE is a EU-MSCA European Training Netwok which offers a research-based training programme for 13 young food scientists and technologists on the transformation of fruits, vegetables and legumes (FVL) in high-quality, multi-functional ingredients and foods appealing to consumers. The research-based training programme will be based on two new ways of thinking:

  • FOODENGINE will introduce an enginomics approach for food quality design. It connects an omics approach combined with chemometrics to instrumentally quantify quality changes of FVL-based food systems and an advanced engineering approach using multi-response kinetics to model quality changes during processing and storage;
  • FOODENGINE will develop models linking the enginomics-based instrumental food quality design with sensory properties, consumer acceptability and consumer preferences to create new products appealing to consumers.

FOODENGINE combines the interdisciplinary expertise and infrastructure of three highly-ranked European Universities/Research institutes (KU Leuven (BE), UCPH (DK), INRA (FR)), three large-turnover, multinational, R&D-based food (ingredient) companies (Döhler (DE), Cargill (BE), Unilever (NL)), two medium-sized food (ingredient) companies (GNT (DE), Greenyard (BE)) and an international market and consumer research company (Haystack (BE)) into a synergistic consortium to establish an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral pioneering European food training programme for 13 young researchers, each for 36 months, divided as follows:

  • KU Leuven (BE): 4 vacant positions
  • UCPH (DK): 4 vacant positions
  • INRA (FR): 2 vacant positions
  • Döhler (DE): 2 vacant positions
  • Cargill (BE): 1 vacant position

Each research project is a joint project between at least two partners within FOODENGINE. During the duration of the project, each recruited fellow is expected to go on one or more secondments (weeks up to months) to another partner to be exposed both to the academic and the private sector. A detailed description of each ESR-project with indication of title, objectives and secondments can be downloaded as a pdf-file (vacancies-msca-itn-foodengine-march2018.pdf) (under button "where to apply" - application form).

Besides the research-based training, recruited young researchers will receive local and network-wide training in complementary skills (management, communication, valorization) via workshops, winter schools and conferences.

FOODENGINE alumni will master this beyond the state-of-the-art new way of thinking for future food products and process design, complemented with the extensive transferable skills development, they will largely enhance their employability/career perspectives in various professional roles.

Job offer:

  • Attractive 3-year full-time employment contract in accordance with the MSCA regulations for early stage researchers of the European Commission - continuation after the first year is dependent upon a positive evaluation
  • Enrollment in a PhD program whereby PhD tuition fee is paid by project

Bone grafting from £269
Sinus lift from £584
Contact us now!

What is bone graft?

Bone graft is a surgical approach in dentistry that allows implant placement even if the patient initially does not have enough bone (in quantity and quality) to get a fixed denture. Bone graft is always made when implants are desired. The reason why a bone graft becomes necessary is usually bone loss. Bone loss usually occurs when one or more lost teeth are not replaced for an extended period of time, the bone loses its function, since no chewing force is produced and this bone section becomes superfluous and the bone therefore regresses. Also, osteoporosis can lead to bone loss. Implantation can only be done in a bone that has adequate quality and quantity, if that is not given, the bone must be replaced. The bone can be replaced by means of bone substitutes (BioOss), the own bone of the patient, or by the combination of both, but these can only be used if the blood supply to the bone is good. If this is not given, a bone transplant is the only reliable solution.

The missing substance is built up in the lower jaw, so-called sinus elevation or sinus lift is necessary in the posterior upper jaw, which means the elevation of the maxillary sinus or the elevation of the jaw cavity base. This treatment is always planned very thoroughly, for which a three-dimensional CT scan is required. Depending on the extent of the bone loss, there are two different techniques: we work with a so-called closed technique for smaller bone loss, we lift the lower wall of the maxillary sinus using a special instrument and fill the resulting gap with bone replacement material. In the case of greater bone loss, we picture a small window on the side of the maxillary sinus and separate the mucous membrane from the bone, and also insert bone substitutes between both. Antibiotics must then be taken. After the necessary healing time of about six months, implants can be safely placed.

If the bone loss is so severe, or if the blood supply to the bone is so poor that the methods mentioned above do not work, it is necessary to transplant own bone to the necessary area. This can either be obtained from one’s own jaw, or if this is not sufficient, then it is extracted from the hip region. The bone transplantation is done in the hospital in general anesthesia and in local anesthesia. After the treatment antibiotics must be taken, but the regeneration is often carried out at a faster rate in 4-5 months, after which implants can already be placed, whereupon after an additional period of healing with a duration of an average of three months the final dental work can be prepared.

Bone build-up or bone replacement is a definite and stable solution to get fixed dentures so that a complete life can be enjoyed.

Bone grafting at Evergreen Dental

Our clinic has the necessary background, we carry out all outpatient bone replacement treatments, even in general anesthesia, at Evergreen Dental. We do the bone transplant treatments in cooperation with the university clinic in Szeged and the senior chief physician, Professor Dr. Piffkó, who also teaches at the University of Münster. Thus we can help all patients with bone loss, in international comparison at favorable conditions with the most modern means and carried out by outstanding experts.

June 18th, Month in Review

As I mentioned the other day, my life has become too crazy and busy (and to be honest, my kids were a bit tired of me being on my computer ALL THE TIME) that I have decided to take a summer hiatus from Everyday Mom Style.

So here are my outfits from June, enjoy!

Have a great summer. I will miss you all!

June 16th, A Bittersweet Ending

Hello Friends!

Today is sort of a sad day for me, because I need to stop writing Everyday Mom Style for a bit.

You may have noticed I haven’t been writing as regularly as before… I apologize for that. My life is so busy right now (like everyone else’s) and I think it’s time to take a little break.

A summer hiatus, if you will.

I have truly loved writing everyday- and sharing with you all what I’m wearing. It’s been a tremendous learning experience for me.

A pair of jeans and a blazer is one of my favorite looks! It’s so classic and easy to look pulled together.

I’ve learned what works for me, and what doesn’t.

I’ve learned that by putting in just a small amount of effort I can really change my look.

I’ve learned that I adore stripes, and blazers, and scarfs, and skinny jeans!

I’ve learned that spending a bit more on a classic well made piece is worth it (my white skinny pants from J Crew are a great example! I didn’t want to spend that much on a pair of jeans- but I wear them about once a week- so worth the price!).

I’ve learned that a great piece of jewelry can make an outfit.

I’ve learned that I like classic, traditional clothes!

But truly, most of what I’ve learned has come from you all.

Thank you so much for following me through this journey, for your kind comments, suggestions and giving me the confidence to do this! It’s been really fun!

Come back tomorrow to see my final post (which will be a review of the outfits of the month)!

And, you never know… come Fall, I may decide to start up again?!

June 14th, Reader’s Request- How to “Summer-ize an Outfit”

  Today’s reader request is from a local Seattle gal- who wants to dress ‘summery’, but also realizes that it’s only 55 degrees outside.

This is a tough one- because while everyone else in the country seems to be wearing summer clothes- we in the Pacific Northwest are still faced with really cold temps.

We want to look appropriate for the season- but we are also a practical bunch of people!

Today I’m showing how I took a black long sleeve wrap top and by making very minor changes- made it look a little more ‘summery’.

To do this I need to show more skin!

I opened the neckline a bit (this was done by loosening the wrap a bit), added a white tank underneath, pushed up the sleeves and rolled up my jeans. I added to bangle type bracelets and switched out my ballet flats for sandals.

Now I’ll be warm, but also don’t look too wintery.

What are your suggestions for dressing for the season?

June 13th, Color Overload

Today I am showing how easily one can go overboard on color.
When I showed my daughter the outfit on the right she exclaimed ‘oh, no mom- way too colorful’! Keep in mind, she’s 9!

However, if you look at J Crew, or some of the high style blogs- you’ll see people doing some crazy things with color.

Personally, I’d rather play it safe with sticking to one bright color and then balancing the outfit with neutrals like white and black.

I’ve chosen a simple and classic button down white blouse. This one is from Brooks Brothers- and it is the no wrinkle style- which I love! I’ve paired it with a classic black blazer and pearls. Let the pink pants get all the attention!

Linking up with Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday! Check it out!

*By the way, I’m not really wearing this today. I’m working from home and playing tennis later- so if you see me, you’ll know why.

Pants: Nordstrom (Vince Camuto), Blouse: Brooks Brothers, Blazer: Nordstrom, Shoes: DSW, Necklace: Forever 21

June 12th, Better Late than Never

 So sorry for the late post today! It’s been one of those days where I have been on the run since 8:00 am.

Today I’m wearing my skinny cargos and a blue tank with a striped short sleeve vest over the top.

At first I tried it with blue jeans, a button down shirt and brown boots. I even attempted to belt it- thinking it would define my waist.

However, you can see from the photos, this outfit doesn’t work. The button down seems awkward under the vest- not sure why, but it just doesn’t seem natural.

The blue jeans are fine (although they are bunching at the knee- which I hate), but I like the contrast of the cargos better. The boots- well,if it were winter they would be fine. However, it’s June- and not matter how cold it is outside, I’m wearing sandals, dammit!

As for the belt! Yikes! Instead of defining my waist, it actually makes me look large and hippy! The belt draws your eye to my middle- and then sees the diagonal stripes covering my hips- making me look huge!

By opening the vest and then adding the pendant necklace, I am now creating a slimmer look.

Ok, there you have it! Now I’m going to start cooking dinner! Hope you had a great day.

Pants: Michael Kors, Tank: American Eagle, Vest: Marshalls, Shoes: Naot

June 11th, Dressed for Success

Lame title, I know.

Cut me some slack, it’s Monday and my brain isn’t fully awake yet.

Today I’m wearing a cute dress that I bought years ago at Banana Republic. It’s supposed to get up to 70 degrees today, so I’m showing it alone on the left.

Below I’m showing a little cardigan that I will wear this morning, until it heats up a bit.

On the right is an example of a cardigan gone wrong. It’s too heavy and bulky for this light summer dress.

I’m also showing my Danskos as a ‘before’. Which, you know I LOVE my Danskos, but in this outfit, they also look clunky and wrong. The cute espadrilles on the left seem more feminine and ‘ladylike’. Plus, without the strap cutting off my ankle, my legs look longer.

Dress: Banana Republic, Cardigan: J Crew, Shoes: DSW

June 9th, Baby Got Back

Good morning! It’s another fairly ‘unfashionable’ outfit from me today, but as I’ve said many, many times- this is a real blog- and a real reflection of what I am wearing!

Since it’s Saturday- and the first Saturday in a long time that we have no plans, I am going to spend the day lounging around my house, tackling projects, reading my book, playing with the kids and maybe taking the dog for a walk.

That being said- (as usual)- comfort is key!

Today I opted for my black stretch pants and a tunic. To add a little color and interest, I threw on this gorgeous raspberry scarf. As with other scarves, I safety pinned the ends together (to make an infinity scarf) and then looped it around my head 2 times. Simple as that!

Yes, I know it is not cutting edge fashion, but its the perfect outfit for a lazy Saturday.

As for Baby Got Back- seriously?!

Unless you are under the age of 20 (or exercising)- please don’t wear skin tight pants with a short shirt. No matter how skinny you are- no one wants to see your backside- as demonstrated below!

Look out Kim Kardashian!
