Indian Food & Film Festival to be organised in Jeddah in 25 and 26 April

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

The Consulate General of India in association with Saudi Indian Business Network (SIBN) is organizing an “Indian Food & Film Festival” on 25th & 26th April, 2019 in the premises of Consulate General of India.

Famous Indian restaurants from Jeddah are participating in the event to offer their unique and mouth-watering special array of delicacies at one venue.

Indian food is rich in variety, taste and flavor. Each region has its own style of cooking and unique cuisine. Renowned for exotic gravies and spicy kababs, Indian cuisine has something to satisfy every palate. The strong flours of Indian cuisine are because of the variety of spices which are visibly discernible courtesy of their color, flavor and aroma.

Along with the delicious food, entertainment would be adding more flavor to the evening. The festivity includes famous Bollywood films which has become a part and parcel of our daily life whether it is a regional or a Bollywood movie and it is no longer restricted to India and is now being well appreciated by international audiences. Though entertainment is the key word of Indian cinema it has far more responsibility as it impacts the mind of the audiences and plays a major role in our society.

So come and enjoy the delicious food along with top Bollywood movies during these two day in the premises of the Consulate General of India, Behind National Commercial Bank, Tahlia Street, Jeddah. The event will be open to Saudis and Indian nationals (families only) on 25th and 26th April, 2019 from 6:30 P.M. to 11:30 P.M.

Introducing No. 3: Coly-Lion + first nest

We’re thrilled after another successful morning in the rice around Coleambally. We caught and released ‘Coly-Lion’, our second booming male Australasian Bittern in as many days. He now carries a 16-gram solar powered satellite transmitter and is the third member of the Tracking Bunyip Birds crew, joining Vin from yesterday and Robbie from April at the end of last season.

During our crowdfunding campaign, the Coleambally Lions Club was one of the generous organisations to buy naming rights, and quite appropriately, one of the owners of this particular rice crop is called Colin and he first located Coly-Lion.

IMG_1509 copy

Inka, Andrew and I are now thinking we’ll save two of the remaining seven transmitters for booming males next season and shift our focus to females and fledged young. Ideally, we want an even sample of where the entire population (adult males and females, and youngsters) goes between rice seasons and the network of wetlands they rely on. That is our central question but along the way we’ll be learning a whole lot more and we’ll keep you posted.

In other news, last Friday we found our first nest for the season. With just two eggs, the female has probably laid two or three more since then. In about three weeks or so, we’ll have our first baby Bunyip Birds for the season, unless of course we find more advanced nests in the meantime. These are exciting times out in rice.

Below are recent photographs from some of our prey sampling work. There are staggering densities of endangered Southern Bell Frogs at some sites. The bittern chicks will be gorging themselves. And just this morning, while we were waiting for Coly-Lion to be trapped, we recorded many of the usual suspects like Great Egrets, Straw-necked Ibis and White-necked Herons, as well as some of the sneakier species like Baillon’s Crakes, Australian Spotted Crakes and a Buff-banded Rail. There were even a few Sharp-tailed Sandpipers, all the way from Russia.

And lastly, as 2015 was drawing to a close, one of our direct-drill (delayed permanent water) prey sampling sites was supporting over 800 Black-winged Stilts.

  1. We are excited that you were able to tag Col after we’ve been keeping an eye on him for a couple of weeks! Congratulations to the team on a successful tag. We can’t wait to see where he travels to next. Colin, Trevor & Judy

    • Thanks Colin, Trevor and Judy. We simply couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks for finding him! Exciting times ahead.

  2. What a great couple of days for the team and for us Matt. “Robbie” captured our interests last year but to know that we’ll now be able to cross reference his activities with those of Vin and Coly Lion (Colin) is really exciting for bird enthusiasts and rice growers. Well done to the team and those that have backed the project.

  3. Hi Matt and Inka. Congratulations to the team. It seems as if it’s all coming together this season. I am looking forward to learning about the adventures of the latest recruits and of course Robbie.

    • Thanks Jenny. We were racing against time (harvest) last season once all of our permits and approvals came through. With any luck, we’ll add three more before the end of the season.

  4. I really am enjoying this whole winged adventure! It’s lovely to read everyone else’s thoughts too!
    Keep up the great work Robbie, Matt & respective teams!

Halfway There

Skipped a nap-just for you! I can't do it all by any means, so I have to pick and choose. I finished the book I just started, Remember Me? by Sophia Kinsella, so good! Ches got it for me about a year (or two?) ago, and it was so much like that goofy Samatha Who show, I wouldn't read the book. I mean, how long can a show go on-she's making memories, so what's left to explore? Anyway, it was a good book, not as good as her others, but entertaining poolside reading. When I'm in a book, I have to finish it-two or three days tops. Gotta find out what happens, then I'll take a few days off. And write for YOu! Soup for YOU! : )

Ethan is progressing...No poops in the potty today, but lots of pees! Like 10 or 12! Still naked (from the waist down). I tried underwear again this morning (so MaYBe we could go out tomorrow!), but nope. He sat on the potty chair, and peed right through them. There was some pee in the little pot, but mostly it'd soaked the 15 layer undies! : O So, small bath, and back to naked. It's working, so who am I to rock the boat?

This morning we cleaned upstairs bathrooms, washed the kids' sheets/remade their beds, gave baths, played I Spy Go Fish, did four pages each of their math workbooks (MC loved it, and said this is why she wants to homeschool-yeah, she didn't get the memo). We used unifix cubes, and then had to look forever to find them all to put them back! I made tuna salad for the kids, but had no pickles. They were nice, and didn't say much. Yesterday, they balked at lunch, and I told them lots of kids have no lunch! There are kids in our town who walk to the local elementary school to get a lunch-they started to get it. So, today they said no pickles were better than no tuna salad. Way to come around! : ) heehee

Thanks, Mom for bringing MC more Propel! : ) Ethan is drinking it now (he calls it "'Pel!"). Alrighty, kids are on the loose, Ches is home, so I gotta get busy again. Mom, have a great trip, and I'll see you in 16 days? Love you! : )

Gigi said...

~~Love you too my sweet daughter..

I know you will make your family happy and cool and comfortable. One of the things my adorable and well-respected Ms. Winfrey says is "Let your home rise up to meet you" not just in style and decor but in love and being a safe place to fall. You have it all my dear, never doubt it.

Maybe when I return from the great 'outback' you and your sweet bike guy can go for a long four days to some remote location or maybe for a couple of days (although no swimming since I am not CPR certified. I can see myself hysterically pulling kids out of the pool with the insect net) ;o) lol

Much love..give Sissy and Ethan a big hug..

Holly said...

Thanks! Ches is looking up flights already-he doesn't have to be asked twice!! : ) He's already gone thru LA, Charleston, Park City, Atlanta, Savannah.

Have fun-what time are you leaving Sat?

Anonymous said...

12:21 p.m.

Wow...Ches making plans? That will be great!

Love and hugs...

Holly said...

I know, weird.
I'm busy telling off Gap. Their customer service absolutely sucks. I pay off my bill every month-sometimes in the thousands (bad, but true), and last month I got no bill-not one to be found anywhere-and I got one today, called, said I'd pay it off tonight, and asked them to take off the $25 late charge (on the big $43 dollar balance)! Nope. So I closed the account. I can get a Visa anywhere. I just think it's crazy, so I sent them an email. I sent them $15,530 last year alone (I pulled up a report!). That and their sucky store service-they'll be headed down shortly if they keep it up.
So, how's your evening? : )

Gigi said...

:passes out

They need to listen when you speak~~

I went to bed very early for me, slept ten hours and have ten thousand things to do, which is natural for someone going 'out'. lol

Love and hugs..

This Week in Fatherhood #3: Messy Spoons and Angry Birds

Here's the 3rd edition of the This Week in Fatherhood newsletter/blog post. I'm having a good time collecting these stories, and I hope you do too. As usual, please let me know if I missed anything or if you like/dislike this newsletter by emailing me. Also, if you want to receive this newsletter in your email once a week, subscribe here!

I often protest the way brands depict dads in ads. This time, since I thought this ad was funny and since it was for Durex, I couldn't pretend it made me angry or that it was evil in any way. Someone called this ad, "an insult to fatherhood." I disagreed. Watch the ad here.

There's no other word to describe people who use pictures of sick babies for greed. Since Facebook calculates fans' interaction to determine the reach of a Facebook page, marketers use an anything-goes approach, where a dying baby becomes nothing more than a hook for interaction. Read more about it on Fatherhood²'s Facebook Content Farming – Look Before You Like.

This is an amazing story. A 56-year-old man, dying from cancer, has fulfilled his promise to walk his daughter down the aisle, with the help of University Hospital volunteers. This is one picture, and you can get the whole story and more pictures on the original site: UH nurses help a dying dad to his daughter's wedding walk down the aisle

In other news, Dennis Baxley, a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives, has apologized on Friday for comments he had made, comparing gay parents to abusive and alcoholic parents. Here are his comments, followed by a video:

"It's easy to say parents need to get involved, but half these kids are raising themselves. They don't have any parents that are functional. How can we address that? I know its scope and I know it's hard, but you're probably their only hope. I mean I sat an hour-and- a- half with a teacher telling me, well this child has got serial men coming through the house, this one has two mommies, this one has an abusive father who's home, this one has alcoholism, this one has drug abuse. It was a casualty warfare event to hear - just her classroom. How many dysfunctional, atypical - to me - uh, structures are in the way of a kid having a chance to learn."

Comments like the ones Baxley makes in the video are depressing, to say the least, but the fact that a conservative Republican feels the need to apologize for these remarks shows how far the US has come.

Personal Blog Posts

I can't be happier to see my kids, 3 and 5, play with each other. They're becoming more and more independent, and I'm (almost) at the point where I can relax every now and then. Still, posts like 7 Things I Will Miss When the Boys Grow Up can bring out the baby-bug in anyone. MUST... BE... STRONG...

Meanwhile, at The Rookie Dad, a dad is "breaking up" with his son. He's going back to work, hoping that between the extra income and the extra mental and physical energy (being a stay-at-home dad is not always easy, I know), this will be a good move for the whole family, including his son. (It’s Not You, It’s Me – A Break Up Letter To My Son.)

This one is from the Dashing Dad Facebook page

This one is not from my blog, but from -- There are not a lot of entries, so far, which means you have a good chance to win this Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods game, which looks really cool. Good luck, and may the force be with you!

People of vata constitution are generally physically underdeveloped. Their chests are flat and their veins and muscle tendons are visible. The complexion is brown, the skin is cold, rough, dry and cracked.

Vata people generally are either too tall or too short, with thin frames which reveal prominent joints and bone-ends because of poor muscle development. The hair is curly and scanty, the eyelashes are thin and the eyes lusterless. The eyes may be sunken, small, dry, and active. The nails are rough and brittle. The shape of the nose is bent and turned-up.

Physiologically, the appetite and digestion are variable. Vata people loves sweet, sour and salty tastes and like hot drinks. The production of urine is scanty and the feces are dry, hard and small in quantity. They have a tendency to perspire less than other constitutional types. Their sleep may be disturbed and they will sleep less than the other types. Their hands and feet are often cold.

Psychologically, they are characterized by short memory but quick mental understanding. They will understand something immediately, but will soon forget it. They have little willpower, tend toward mental instability and possess little tolerance, confidence or boldness. Their reasoning power is weak and these people are nervous, fearful and afflicted by much anxiety.

Vata people tend to earn money quickly and also to spend it quickly. Thus, they tend to remain poor.

Sketch Crawl NI Creativity Month with Urban Sketchers Belfast

A pocket sketchbook, a little bottle of blue ink, portable watercolours and just walking around: last Friday 10th March I took part to my first sketch crawl, organized by the Urban Sketchers Belfast group. We started at Dirty Onino, one of the busiest pubs in Belfast’s weekend and then we headed to Vandal, where there was a open mic night.

These are the drawings I sketched during the evening:

Stobart faces short term risks

Stobart Group STOB The new CEO who has only been in post for two months has issued a surprise warning that the company faces short term risks in both energy and aviation and that there will be short term delays in the company’s value creation potential although the long term potential remains unaffected. Despite the popularity of Southend airport where passenger numbers rose by 22% in the 5 months to the 31st July, more airlines need to be persuaded to use it. In energy, problems have been caused by delays in commissioning new power stations and in the take up of agreed  bio mass volumes, with only 40,000 tonnes being supplied out of a notified 190 tonnes. The second half should see some amelioration in the position with expectations that deliveries will reach 330 tonnes.

Halfords HFD Like for like revenue for the 20 weeks to the 18th August rose by 2.7% with retail growing by 3.5% and auto centres down by 2% “as planned”. No explanation is given as to how or why the decline was planned (editor has a good idea – sic). The strongest areas were travel solutions with growth of 8.2% and cycling which was up by 5.2%.

Redrow RDW has delivered record financial results for the fourth consecutive year and  a final dividend of 11p per share  makes a 70% increase for the year to 30th June. And that is nothing compared to what the future three years will bring, with expectations that 2017’s 17p total will in 2020 have nearly doubled to 32p per share. As for 2017 legal completions rose by 15%, revenue by 20%, profit before tax by 26% and earnings per share by 27%. Sales in the first 9 weeks of the new financial year are up 8% on a year ago.

Mattioli Woods MTW enjoyed strong new business flows during the year to the 31st May leading to a 17.4% rise in revenue, 18% in EBITDA and 18.7% in basic earnings per share. The final dividend is to be increased by 12.8%. The company;s financial position is described as strong with net cash of £23m

Lighthouse Group LTG made further progress in the 6 months to the 30th June with revenue rising by 8% leading to rises in EBITDA and basic earnings per share of 26% and 35% respectively. The interim dividend is to be increased by 33% to 12p per share.

We do not know what we are doing

My wife and twelve year old son have just returned from south Florida on this Labor Day weekend with a 2014 Winnebago Travato. It is parked in our driveway now.

We are gearing up for this Fall. Our project is to travel and home-school our son and also, as we learn things, to maybe even develop curricula for home schoolers. Roam Schooling. And not curricula just for travelling home schoolers but, like…located learning: interdisciplinary, connected, John Dewey-style geology, ecology, history, geography lessons, rooted in some place, like Missouri. Or Colorado. That’s the plan.

We do not know what we are doing. Valves, buttons, compartments, black water. But we will! What better way is there to learn something than to do it, try and organize your thoughts, write it all down, share it.

  1. How awesome, Ian! I homeschooled our kids for a couple of years, and I still look back on that has one of my favorite periods of our family life. Enjoy!!!

  2. We did it and loved every minute! We had a Golden retriever instead of a 12 year old. What adventures you guys will have!

  3. Oh my goodness, you guys are the coolest!!!
    You will all get more reading done the son could possibly get in a lifetime time of public school.

Difference between industrial vacuum cleaners and commercial vacuum cleaners

2020-1-10 15:12:19 Click:

Many customers are aware of the appearance of a vacuum cleaner at home. In fact, domestic or commercial, it is still very different from industrial vacuum cleaners. Let's distinguish their differences below, so that customers can find a vacuum cleaner that is more suitable for them.
Generally speaking, the capacity of commercial vacuum cleaners is smaller than that of industrial vacuum cleaners. The main consideration is that industrial vacuum cleaners absorb more garbage, and some industries have waste recycling needs, such as cloth, metal products, wood products, etc. It is easy to operate and handle.
Due to the limited space for use, industrial vacuum cleaners are relatively more durable than commercial vacuum cleaners. Therefore, the housing of industrial vacuum cleaners is generally made of metal and the accessories are mostly made of steel. Commercial vacuum cleaners use polyethylene as the shell material.
3. Working voltage
For the special functional requirements of industrial vacuum cleaners, in order to ensure that they have sufficient power and meet long-term use, the operating voltage of industrial vacuum cleaners is generally 380V, while commercial vacuum cleaners are 220V.
4.Working hours
As shown in the third point, because the industrial vacuum cleaner needs to meet the production needs of the factory floor, it uses a working voltage of 380V, and it needs to work for several hours, even 24 hours of continuous work; the continuous working time of commercial vacuum cleaners is much shorter than this A number.
Because industrial vacuum cleaners need to inhale not only dust particles, but also items that need to be recycled by factories, its power requirements are much larger than commercial vacuum cleaners, with 2200 watts, 3400 watts, 5500 watts, and even 7500 watts, and Commercial vacuum cleaners are mostly 500 watts and 1,000 watts.

In healthy human being topics, LCI699 0.5?mg selectively reduced plasma and 24?h urinary aldosterone by 49??3% and 39??6% respectively (Day time 1, mean??SEM; and ramifications of aldosterone synthase inhibition with LCI699 (4-[(5R)-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-5-yl]-3-fluorobenzonitrile phosphate) [17] in rats, nonhuman primates and human beings. We’ve characterized the enzymatic inhibition and varieties specificity of LCI699 and also have established the comparative selectivity of LCI699 for aldosterone synthase over 11-hydroxylase (encoded from the CYP11B1 gene), which changes 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol and offers 93% nucleotide series identification with aldosterone synthase [18]. To be able to determine the restorative potential of the ASI, the consequences of LCI699 on cardiorenal harm and survival had been assessed within a double-transgenic (dTG) rat model with ectopic overexpression of individual renin CDC25B and angiotensinogen as well as the results weighed against those of the MRA eplerenone. In healthful individual topics, LCI699 selectively inhibited aldosterone synthase at dental dosages??1?mg daily, but shed specificity over the 1?mg dosage. Therefore LCI699 is normally no longer getting developed for important hypertension, and happens to be under advancement at higher, non-selective doses for the treating Cushings symptoms [19]. Strategies enzyme inhibition Experimental style Cell lines and tissues samples Recombinant individual cytochrome P450 (CYP) 11B2 and CYP11B1 enzymes had been prepared in the cell lines V79-4 CYP11B2-adrenodoxin-adrenodoxin reductase (AAR) #317 and V79-4 CYP11B1-AAR #618, respectively [20]. Recombinant rat CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 enzymes had been prepared likewise. All cell lines had been preserved in Dulbeccos improved Eagles moderate supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 0.5 antibiotic, 800?g/mL geneticin and 250?g/mL hygromycin (double-selection moderate; all from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Rat adrenal homogenates had been prepared in the adrenal glands of male Sprague-Dawley (S-D) rats as defined previously [21]. Monkey CYB11B2 and CYB11B1 homogenates had been prepared in the adrenal glands of feminine cynomolgous monkeys. Monkey adrenal gland tissues was minced and homogenized on glaciers in a cup tissues grinder in 1?mL of ice-cold homogenization buffer per 100?mg tissue (adding 2.7?mmol/L CaCl2 and a single ethylenediaminetetraacetic acidity (EDTA)-free of charge protease inhibitor tablet per 50?mL buffer) [20]. The homogenized materials was centrifuged at 450?for 5?min in 4C, as well as the supernatant taken to your final glycerol focus of 5%, flash-frozen in water nitrogen, and stored in ?80C until evaluation. Aldosterone, cortisol and corticosterone concentrations had been quantified using 96-well dish assays (find Additional document 1). CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 enzyme assays Individual CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 assays had been performed as defined previously [20]. The rat and monkey assays had been conducted likewise, using 11-DOC as substrate. Statistical analysisConcentrationCresponse curves for LCI699 had been performed at least 3 x (and 2 times for rat homogenate assay).

Rats were offered regular chow (Harlan 59-05-2 Teklad 8604) and drinking water aside from a incomplete fast 21672.0 before 21672.0 and during an test. Man cynomolgus monkeys (LCI699 (phosphate sodium) was dissolved in drinking water (1?mL/kg volume). LCI699 was given by dental (rat and monkey) or nasogastric gavage (monkey). Substance dosages in the 21672.0 monkey model are quoted as free of charge foundation equivalents. Experimental process for rat versions Research protocols for the rat types of Ang-II- and ACTH-stimulated aldosterone synthesis adopted a published process [21]. For the Ang-II-infusion model, a short loading dosage of 300?ng/kg angiotensin II (Ang II) was accompanied by 100?ng/kg/min intravenous (we.v.) infusion for 9?h. For the ACTH-infusion model, the launching and infusion dosages of ACTH had been 100?ng/kg and 30?ng/kg/min, respectively. After 1?h of Ang II or ACTH infusion, a bloodstream test was collected for determining the post-Ang II or ACTH baseline (we.e., secretagogue-elevated) plasma aldosterone and corticosterone concentrations. LCI699 was given at dosages of 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 3?mg/kg.

Test Automation Vision

When I was at the CAST2016 Test Conference in Vancouver, I also was visiting the keynote from Nicholas Carr who spoke about his vision for test automation in general. A lot of people think that it is a good thing to automate everything so we can reduce our manpower for the company. But Nicholass preached that it is the wrong mindset to have as an human being.

He told us how an hospital was reducing their manpower by automating their whole medicine order system, and  how an human mistake easily got passed through the system so that a young boy got 33 pills of antibiotica instead of 3. If there was an human involved somewhere in the process of the order system, he could already find the mistake and report it back to the doctors that they made a mistake with their input. But because of the lack of human interaction, the young boy got 33 pills which made him awfully sick.

This hospital is not the only one who is noticing these flaws in the automation vision. Another big company named Toyota is starting to hire human employees since 2014 again. The reason for this is that all the robots in the factory were good at their job, but because of the lack of human interaction, some flaws in the designs were discovered after the assembly fase. Imagine a batch of 300 Toyota corolla’s with the same flaw in their design. You can basically throw your 300 models away and start over again.

So we can conclude that the best practice for automation is changed. You don’t want to automate everything which is replacing employees. You want to automate something which is helping your employees with their tests: a human-centered automation.

To build an automation which is human-centered you need to adapt the following rules:

Automate after mastery

Back in the day when we were young we learned first to do math without a calculator. Just a pen, paper and our brains were the tools we were using. What I’m trying to say here is that we first have to master a certain skill before we can use (and trust) automated tools like the calculator. What if the calculator has a bug in it and tells us the answer for 1+1 = 3 instead of 2? Because we already mastered the skill calculation without a calculator we already can identify this bug.

Transfer control between computer and operator

In the aviation we know that a pilot basically only is involved in the start and the landing procedure of a commercial flight (but with today’s technology the auto pilot can also handle these scenario’s). The rest is handled by the auto pilot, so the pilot and co-pilot can relax during their flight etc. We all know that their lives have become easier with this awesome technology.

But history tells us that it is not a smart move to let the auto pilot take over. The list of airline crashes due to a malfunctioned auto pilot is long. Most of the time the auto pilot misinterpreted the data it obtains from the different sensors, like you are losing altitude but the sensor who is responsible for this is not working properly so the airplane is gaining altitude and at a certain point the aircraft will stall and crash.

The FAA came up with the idea to set a timer on the auto pilot. Basically the system just told the pilot to take over after using the auto pilot for a certain amount of hours. This method helps the pilot to stay focussed and in control during the flight, so he or she knows at all times what the status is from the plane.

So what we can learn from this, is that it is a good thing to transfer the control between the computer and the operator so the operator is always in control of the situation and not left in the dark because the computer does all the work.

Allow professionals to assess situation before providing algorithmic aid

Of course you are hiring a specialist which can automate your awesome app, but what kind of background does your specialist has? Is it a tester which had a crash course programming or is it a developer which only know that testing is clicking random buttons? A Testers mind is always focussed on “How can I break it?” while a developer is thinking in solutions “How can I fix it?”.

Test Automation can’t be done by one specialist or individual, you need a team which can aid your test automation. The best way to achieve this is to let developers and testers work together in small (scrum) teams. The tester takes the lead on which part needs to be automated and which part still needs to be tested manually. The developer can than build the desired test automation framework.

With this workflow you get a real good product which is accepted by both developer and tester, because every step in your test automation is assessed by a professional.

Don’t hide feedback

So congratulations on your test automation build street. everything is running smooth and you see that the test results are nice green. But what is the next step?

If you are working in a small company mostly testers and developers are integrated in one scrum team. So if there is an issue found with the automation a tester can easily see it and report it back to the developer. If you are working in a bigger company where you are working with feature-(scrum)teams, this reporting back to development is a totally different deal.

The best way to report your results back to different feature-teams is to make it visible in within the teams, by building a live dashboard which is showing the test results of the latest commit on the development branch or make it accessible within the company network so developers can access it on their own computers for example.

Because of this dynamic reporting strategy, different feature teams can already see what has been tested and if they broke an all ready existing feature. So an issue can already been discovered during a sprint for example. So don’t hide feedback, make it visible within the teams!

Allow friction for learning

As we all know, games are for fun and leisure. But what we often forget is that games are also ment to train our skills. For example with a RTS-game you need to make important decisions in a split second and adopt every time to the current situation.

For test automation it is the same. You first had a vision to automate everything. But later on in the process you discovered that some test scenario’s can’t be automated because they are too big or too important to let a computer run the happy flow. Maybe it is better to let a tester do an exploratory test to see if he or she can break the new feature.

So don’t be mad because the test automation build street is still not finished or didn’t automate everything. Because the situation can change at any time, a test automation development team needs to be agile and needs to learn to adapt to the current situation. But in the end your automation team learns a lot with these frictions and that can become handy when you decide to transfer these knowledge to other departments etc.

Selection Day

An enormous emotional and physical experience! For details of this SASA event go to The Art of Intuitive Painting. Di McNaughton has posted a brilliant article on her Blog describing the procedure and the emotions that go with it.

I just feel so desperately sad about the huge quantity of quality work that was turned down. Only about 300 out of 500 paintings could be selected due to the available exhibition space at Kirstenbosch. I was very happy to have one painting accepted. It’s a portrait called “Jessie” that I did with a life-painting group in Pinelands. It got a high enough score to be included in the approximately 300 works selected for the exhibition. One of our top Cape Town artists, who sells her work very successfully at high prices, didn’t score enough for any of her paintings to be accepted. I am proud of my achievement and consider myself very lucky.

I was one of the helpers on the day and when I climbed into my car, sometime after five, I felt totally shattered; one major, big time low! I was totally spaced out and could not think coherently. I drove home on remote control, partly, I think, due to physical and emotional exhaustion. At the end of selection I had to help hand back the scored entry forms to the artists. It cut me to the core to have to say to too many of them, “Sorry, you had nothing selected.”

A brilliant exhibition could be held with many of the art works that did not attain a high enough score. It was extremely difficult to see why some works were highly scored and others not, but then, I have no formal art training and have absolutely no experience in such things. Perhaps it would help if the judges explained what they looked for and what criteria they used to evaluate a painting. I found it very confusing. One very positive comment from one of the judges was that the standard of the work was exceptionally high. I would not like to have been in their shoes! Big congratulations to all those who had works accepted.

I studied many paintings during those long hours. Of those that did well, some I really liked and some, although I thought they were good, had no emotional appeal at all. I know where I am going and I know what I am trying to achieve. I must get back into my studio and work. Hard work and perseverance and somehow I will get to the next step, but when there, I know that there will always be another step to go. The staircase is never ending, but wow, what a journey, what a view from it. I love what I do, as Di said, “Warts and all”!

The Kirstenbosch Selection Exhibition will be held in the Sanlam Lecture Hall on Saturday 3 October 2008.

Dianne said…
Dear Carol, congratulations! This painting is truly beautiful and worthy of being selected. You describe so well the exceedingly long selection day. (definitely add writing to your talents!) By the way, only about 230 paintings were selected! Love Dianne x
Carol said…
Thanks so much Di. I suppose too many scored 6? As to the writing the feelings were mine but the wording was a joint venture :)
Andy Hadfield said…
excellent news, congrats.

good thing you didn't take my name - never know WHAT might have happened...
Carol said…
Thanks Andrew. I asked the sitters permission - to me she was always just Jessie.
Art with Liz said…
This painting is really lovely and the photo here doesn't do it justice. The softness and the colours you get are just great.

Wow! I'm blown away! .... from Ann.
Carol said…
Thank you Ann. Portraits are still my favourite but they just don't sell!

Nobility of Soul at Odds with Circumstance

February 18, 1924–January 17, 2011
A happy moment, New York City,
March 1983
The body—it is so sad what happens to it.
But all childhoods are hazardous.

Falling through a grey film of failed memory,
the children and their panic-stricken laughter.

And in the narrowing tunnel,
our earthly mother waiting sleeplessly
to yield the last half hour of precious light.

Renovated rustic country property in the vicinity of Dornes and the shores of the Castelo do Bode Dam

no images were found

€ 158.000,= / £ 141,510.= *

The property consists of terraced land measuring a bit over one hectar and a two bedroom house with annex and shed.
The property is connected to mains water and electricity and is accessed by a gravel road from the closest hamlet. A gravel driveway leads onto the property.

To the right of the driveway we have the annex, which consists of:
– a kitchenette with open fireplace,
– a bath room with toilet, pedestal sink and walk-in shower,
– and one room with exposed roof beam which serves as bedroom and lounge. This room has a access to a balcony which runs the width of the building, with good views into the surrounding green landscape.
Next to the annex there is a large water tank, which is used as a plunge pool and as deposit for water for irrigation purposes. This tank is fed by water sourced at a neighbor´s land, thanks to an agreement set up a long time ago.
Then we have a shed for storing fire wood and garden tools.
The main house is on the left side of the driveway. The main door opens directly into the open kitchen and living room, with open fireplace in the kitchen corner. To the left we have the bedroom. At the far right corner we have a bathroom with walk-in shower, pedestal sink and toilet. There is another door to the terrace on the side of the living room area. Underneath this terrace there are two rooms, one of which serves as laundry room.
On the other side of the house we have iron stairs leading up to the attic. The attic is very well insulated and is open space. This room could be used as an office or as a second bedroom.
In the far left corner of the living room there is a door which opens to wooden stairs leading into the lower floor of the house. Here we have two divisions, each with glass door to the terrace to the side of the house.
The plot of land is mostly terraced and slopes down into a valley where there is a large meadow, ideal for planting olive trees and fruit trees.
The property is located in a very peaceful valley between hills in the area of the Dornes. There are only two other properties in this valley, both owned by German families who live a quiet life much to themselves. The property is within walking distance of the picturesque medieval hamlet. Dornes is located on a peninsula in the Castelo do Bode lake.
The lake is formed by the Castelo do Bode dam, which is Portugal’s second largest reservoir.  Castelo do Bode lake is popular for all kinds of water sport activities including water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, swimming, sailing, scuba diving and fishing. The picturesque village of Dornes is located on a peninsula in the Castelo do Bode, has two restaurants and cafés and pilgrims regularly visit the church and the surroundings.
The nearest airport to the property is situated at Lisbon, which is approximately one hour and a half hours away by car. Lisbon airport is serviced by a variety of international airlines including some low cost ones, who provide regular flights into and out of the United Kingdom and other European countries.  The international airport of Porto is two and a half hours away.   The historic town of Tomar is less half an hour away and has a train station.

Book Review: The Second Chance Café in Carlton Square

By Becky Gulc

Michelle Gorman (The Curvy Girls Club, Match Me If You Can, etc.) has written a series of ‘cosy romcom’ novels under the pen name of Lilly Bartlett, all with lovely engaging covers. I was fortunate enough to be sent her two novels in the ‘Carlton Square’ series, The Big Little Wedding in Carlton Square and The Second Chance Café in Carlton Square. There was only room in my suitcase for one of these when I went on holiday, so I picked the one which appealed most, which was the second book, The Second Chance Café in Carlton Square. Here is the synopsis:

Emma’s new café will be perfect, with its gorgeous strings of vintage bunting, mouth-wateringly gooey cakes, comforting pots of tea and quirky customers who think of each other as friends.
It’s a long road to get there, but as her business fills with freelancing hipsters, stroppy teens, new mums and old neighbourhood residents, Emma realises that they’re not the only ones getting a second chance. She is too.

But when someone commits bloomicide on their window boxes, their milk starts disappearing and their cake orders are mysteriously cancelled, it becomes clear that someone is determined to close them down.

Will the café be their second chance after all? (Courtesy of Amazon UK.)

This was an enjoyable read. The writing flowed and was immediately engaging. I loved the whole premise of the café; it really was a second-chance café, giving trainee-ships to young people that may not get chances otherwise (Joe and Lou were great characters). It was uplifting, and I enjoyed experiencing the highs and lows of setting up the business with Emma, especially as a relatively new mum who is forever trying to get some sense of work-life balance. Whilst it’s Emma’s café, it very much feels like a community café, one that people quickly come to care about and respect. It’s certainly not straight-forward though for various reasons, from managing customers ranging from groups of mums to those wanting a quiet place to plug in and work through to the blatant sabotage going on. The characters are varied and there are the ones you will feel for and ones you just want to have a stern word with!

Whilst I’ve read plenty of second or third books in a series and not felt I was particularly missing anything key by not having read the previous novels, I do feel that I could have enjoyed this more if I had read the first book beforehand. This comes down to not connecting with Emma and Daniel as a couple. In this novel they are struggling a bit, managing small children whilst working hard and not really having time for one another. I’m afraid to say I didn’t warm to Daniel, he wasn’t a huge part of the novel, so this didn’t matter, but I’m sorry that he got on my nerves a bit (in part to do with how his accent was written out). Based on what I’ve read from reviews of the first novel, and what Emma herself has to say about Daniel, I’m sure if I read the first book I would have a different opinion.

A great writer and an engaging and thought-provoking story, but with hindsight I would start with the first book in the series.

Thanks to HarperImpulse for the book in exchange for an honest review.

I would like to start by thanking the lovely people who ran in the Great North Run for us. Thanks to Leanne, Julie, Jonathan, Charlotte, Liam and Daniel. Well done, your efforts really are appreciated.

A little update on Jonathan’s House, the very kind staff and directors of Eggar Hexham, who donated and fitted a fantastic ramp to allow wheelchair users access from the house into the back garden. Thank you so much for your generosity.

We are holding a coffee morning on 16th November 2019 at the Trinty Church Beaumont Street Hexham 9.30a.m. until 12.30p.m. Why not pop in for a cuppa and a chat to find out more of what we do. Also treat yourself to a cake from our cake stall and maybe find a small Christmas gift

Generous choirs raise £500!

On Thursday 10th May, three local choirs raised £498 in support of Chin Up!

The three groups- The Dale Singers, The Hadrian Singers and North Tyne Voices- came together in Haltwhistle Holy Cross Church to put on an evening of choral song. Not only did they give their time and their talent, they also donated all the raffle prizes!

Our thanks go to them, their conductors, the many helpers who made the evening run by serving refreshments, and the audience who gave generously afterwards.

Spring 2018 Coffee Morning result

Thanks to all those who came to our coffee morning in Haltwhistle on Saturday, we have raised £320 towards our work this year.

Our appreciation must also go to those volunteers who baked, crocheted, ran stalls, sold raffle tickets and took entrance fees. Without them, and the generosity of people patronising our events, Chin Up could not continue.

America’s Lost Decade

There’s a really good post today on Daily Kos on America’s Lost Decade. I’ll quote the penultimate paragraph because I think it’s spot on, but the whole thing is worth a read.

“We have spent a decade — and yes, it should be said, under the proud banner of conservatism — doing nothing, as a nation. We have wasted our advantages, and put our own infrastructure in hock, and allowed the greediest and most crooked among us to dictate how the rest of us should live. We were told that giving money to the rich was good, and giving respite to the poor was sinful. We were told in supposedly serious books by supposedly serious men that giving up our jobs and industries would make our nation rich. We were told that our companies knew more about how to govern a nation than our citizens — and we let them draft our laws, and lobby our government, and we squeezed the middle class at every possible opportunity. We were told many, many stupid things by people who now, by any rights, should end up on street corners wearing nothing more than rags made out of their own past pronouncements, but who sadly will never be nearly as inconvenienced by their actions as you or I have been.”

1 thought on “America’s Lost Decade

  1. The only thing to add to that would be – we were told we could borrow and spend our way to prosperity forever…until it all came crashing down.

    Problem is, the conservatives have lost power but we are still being told that. That makes a second “lost decade” increasingly likely.

    But on a positive note, I don’t consider the 00’s a total lost decade…among other reasons not relevant to this blog, it featured the OGL and the birth of one of my favorite game companies, Green Ronin!

Liquid Chromatography Detectors - The UV Detectors > The Fixed Wavelength UV Detector > Page 43

Column, length, 10m, I.D., 1 mm, mobile phase tetrahydrofuran, flow-rate 30 ml/min., adsorbent Partisil 10. Column efficiency ca.  250,000 theoretical plates. Solutes benzene, ethyl benzene, butyl benzene, hexyl benzene, octyl benzene and decyl benzene. Such columns must be packed in short lengths (about 1 m) and subsequently joined and are thus somewhat tedious to construct.

Figure 26. The Separation of Some Alkyl Benzenes by Exclusion on a High Efficiency Column.

All the solutes are distinctly resolved despite their having molecular weight differences equivalent to only two methylene groups. The peaks from such columns are only a few microliters in width and so a specially reduced volume sensor cell was necessary to cope with the high efficiencies and allow the consequent improved resolution to be realized. The molecular weight of decyl benzene is 218 and, thus, one methylene group would represent a differential of only 6.4% of the molecular weight.

Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist

Double of the Second Class

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of Abraham. The Eagle and the Lion have already risen in the heavens of the holy Liturgy; today we salute the Man; and next month the Ox will appear, to complete the number of the four living creatures who draw the chariot of God through the world and surround his throne in heaven. These mysterious beings, with their six seraph-wings, are ever gazing with their innumerable eyes upon the Lamb who stands upon the throne as it were slain; and they rest not day and night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. St. John beheld them giving to the elect the signal to praise their Creator and Redeemer; and when all created beings in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, have adoringly proclaimed that the Lamb, who was slain, is worthy of power and divinity and glory and empire forever, it is they that add to the world’s homage the seal of their testimony, saying: Amen, so it is!

Great and singular, then, is the glory of the Evangelists. The name of Matthew signifies one who is given. He gave himself when, at the word of Jesus “follow me,” he rose up and followed him; but far greater was the gift he received from God in return. The Most High, who looks down from heaven upon the low things of earth, loves to choose the humble for the princes of his people. Levi, occupied in a profession that was hated by the Jews and despised by the Gentiles, belonged to the lowest rank of society; but still more humble was he in heart when, laying aside the delicate reserve shown in his regard by the other Evangelists, he openly placed his former ignominious title beside the glorious one of Apostle. By so doing, he published the magnificent mercy of him who had come to heal the sick not the healthy, and to call not the just but sinners. For thus exalting the abundance of God’s grace, he merited its superabundance: Matthew was called to be the first Evangelist. Under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost he wrote, with that inimitable simplicity which speaks straight to the heart, the Gospel of the Messias expected by Israel, and announced by the prophets—of the Messias the teach and Savior of his people, the descendant of its kings, and himself the King of the daughter of Sion—of the Messias who had come not to destroy the Law, but to bring it to its full completion in an everlasting, universal covenant.

In his simple-hearted gratitude, Levi made a feast for his divine Benefactor. It was at this banquet that Jesus, defending his disciple as well as himself, replied to those who pretended to be scandalized: Can the children of the Bridegroom mourn, as long as the Bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the Bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast. Clement of Alexandria bears witness to the Apostle’s subsequent austerity; assuring us that he lived o nnothing but vegetables and wild fruits. The legend will tell us moreover of his zeal for the Master who had so sweetly touched his heart, and of his fidelity in preserving for him souls inebriated with the wine springing forth virgins. This fidelity, indeed, cost him his life: his martyrdom was in defense and confirmation of the duties and rights of holy virginity. To the end of time the Church in consecrating her virgins will make use of the beautiful blessing pronounced by him over the Ethiopian princess, which the blood of the Apostle and Evangelist has imbued with a peculiar virtue (Pontificale Romanum, De Benedictione et Consecratione Virginum: “Deus, plasmator corporum, afflator animarum.”).

The Church gives us this short account of a life better known to God than to men.

Matthæus, qui et Levi, Apostolus et Evangelista, Capharnai cum ad telonium sederet, a Christo vocatus, statim secutus est ipsum: quem etiam cum reliquis discipulis convivio excepit. Post Christ resurrectionem, antequam in provinciam proficisceretur, quæ ei ad prædicandum obtigerat, primus in Judæa, propter eos qui ex circumcisione credierant, Evangelium Jesu Christi hebraice scripsit. Mox in Æthiopiam profectus, Evangelium prædicavit, ac prædicationem multis miraculis confirmavit.

Matthew, also named Levi, was an Apostle and Evangelist. He was sitting in the custom-house at Capharnaum when called by Christ, whom he immediately followed; and then made a feast for him and his disciples. After the resurrection of Christ, and before setting out for the province which it was his lot to evangelize, Matthew was the first to write the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He wrote it in Hebrew, for the sake of those of the circumcision, who had been converted. Soon after, he went into Ethiopia, where he preached the Gospel, and confirmed his teaching by many miracles.

Illo igitur in primis miraculo, quo regis filiam a mortuis excitavit, regem patrem, et uxorem ejus, cum universa provincia ad Christi fidem convertit. Rege mortuo, Hirtacus, ejus successor, cum Iphigeniam, regiam filiam, vellet sibi dari in matrimonium, Matthæum, cujus opera illa virginitatem Deo voverat, et in sancto proposito perseverabat, ad altare mysterium celebrantem jussit occidi. Qui undecimo calendas octobris munis apostolicum martyrii gloria cumulavit. Cujus corpus Salernum translatum, ac posmodum in ecclesia ejus nomine dedicata, Gregorio Septimo Summo Pontifice conditum, ibidem magno hominum concursu ac pietate colitur.

One of the greatest of these was his raising to life the king’s daughter, whereby he converted the king and his wife, and the whole country. After the king’s death, his daughter Iphigenia was demanded in marriage by his successor Hirtacus, who, finding that through Matthew’s exhortation she had vowed her virginity to God and now persevered in her holy resolution, ordered the Apostle to be put to death, as he was celebrating the holy mysteries at the altar. Thus on the eleventh of the Kalends of October, he crowned his apostolate with the glory of martyrdom. His body was translated to Salerno; and in the time of Pope Gregory VII it was laid in a Church dedicated in his name, where it is piously honored by a great concourse of people.

How pleasing must thy humility have been to our Lord; that humility which has raised thee so high in the kingdom of heaven, and which made thee, on earth, the confidant of Incarnate Wisdom. The Son of God, who hides his secrets from the wise and prudent and reveals them to little ones, renovated thy soul by intimacy with himself and filled it with the new wine of his heavenly doctrine. So fully didst thou understand his love that he chose thee to be the first historian of his life on earth. The Man-God revealed himself through thee to the Church. She has inherited thy glorious teaching as she calls it in her Secret; for the Synagogue refused to understand both the Divine Master and the Prophets his heralds.

There is one teaching, indeed, which not all, even of the elect, can understand and receive; just as in heaven not all follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth, nor can all sing the new canticle reserved to those whose love here on earth has been undivided. O Evangelist of holy virginity, and martyr for its sake! watch over the choicest portion of our Lord’s flock. Remember also, O Levi, all those for whom, as thou tellest us, the Emmanuel received his beautiful name of Savior. The whole redeemed world honors thee and implores thy assistance. Thou hast recorded for us the admirable Sermon on the mountain: by the path of virtue there traced out, lead us to that kingdom of heaven, which is the ever-recurring theme of thy inspired writing.

Blue Exorcist: Volume 20 manga review

By Leroy Douresseaux
April 17, 2020 - 11:01

Blue Exorcist Graphic Novel Volume 20 cover image

Rated “T+” for “Older Teen”

It was when Rin Okumura had an argument with his foster father, the famous exorcist, Father Shiro Fujimoto, that he learned that the Demon Lord Satan was his father!  Even after Satan suddenly appeared and tried to drag him to hell, Rin was still determined to reject his demonic blood line.  He enrolled at True Cross Academy Private High School in order to train to become an exorcist.  Rin’s twin brother, Yukio Okumura, already an exorcist, was his instructor.

As Blue Exorcist, Vol. 20 (Chapters 89 to 93) opens, Rin and company celebrate “Happy (Merry Xmas) Birthday Eve,” their combined birthday and Christmas party.  There is even more big news when Rinzo Shima's older brother and fellow exorcist, Juzo, calls to announce that he and Mamushi Hojo are having a baby.  And they are inviting everyone down to Kyoto for a New Year's wedding.  But the New Year also brings a shocking public event that exposes the exorcists.

Privately, Rin and Yukio discover that an older exorcist, Shura Kirigakure, once met their mother, whose name was Yuri Egin.  This only raises more questions for and more tension between the brothers, and for Yukio, there is only more despair.

[This volume contains bonus comics, art, text, etc.]

THE LOWDOWN:  Once a year, I get around to reading the Blue Exorcist manga.  However, I have read three volumes in a little less than a year, two in less than four months.

Blue Exorcist Graphic Novel Volume 20 starts off with some wonderful events.  It is truly a celebratory volume, perfect for the holidays – at least the first half.  Vol. 19 took a deep dive into this series' demonic side, with some details about the dark history inside the narrative.  The second half of Vol. 20 returns to the mysterious origins of the Okumura brothers, with creator Kazue Kato offering a most shocking cliffhanger that will make sure most of us, dear readers, will be back for more.  Of course, there is no reason for us to ever stop reading the fantastic Blue Exorcist.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Readers looking for dark magic and action will want to try the “Shonen Jump Advanced” title, Blue Exorcist.

Inflation Appears to Be Returning

By Jeannine Aversa, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON – Inflation appears to be stirring from its hibernation. Consumer prices are advancing in the first four months of this year at a pace twice as fast as the increase for all of 2003.
That in turn is increasing chances that the Federal Reserve will boost interest rates next month, according to a growing number of analysts. They point to a string of economic reports, from sizable gains in the nation’s payrolls to brisk manufacturing activity, that paint a picture of an economic resurgence that is beginning to fan inflation.

“The economy is just taking off and is taking inflation with it,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at “I think it is just too much for the Fed to ignore, and they will have to tighten policy in June.”
From January to April, consumer prices rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.4 percent, compared with a 1.9 percent increase for last year, the Labor Department reported Friday. This year’s pickup has been led by sharply higher energy prices, especially for gasoline.
The core rate of inflation, from which energy and food prices are excluded, has risen so far this year by 3 percent, outpacing the 1.1 percent rise for 2003.
“Inflation is peeking out from underneath the covers,” said Bill Cheney, chief economist at MFC Global Investment Management, though economists don’t view the price acceleration as particularly worrisome at this point.
In other economic news Friday, the Federal Reserve reported that industrial production jumped by 0.8 percent in April, the biggest increase since November, up from a 0.1 percent dip in March.
The Commerce Department said businesses boosted their inventories by 0.7 percent in March, a sign that companies feel more confident in the recovery’s staying power. Business sales rose by 2.9 percent in March.
The Dow Jones industrials, meanwhile, edged up 2.13 points to close at 10,012.87.
On inflation, some companies, which have had to keep a lid on price increases during the economic slump, are finding it easier to raise prices now that the economy is rebounding. Wholesale prices in April posted their biggest increase in a year, the government reported Thursday.
While recent economic reports show inflation moving higher, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and his colleagues indicated at their meeting last week they are not yet worried. “Long-term inflation expectations appear to have remained well contained,” they said in their report of the session.
Thus, the Fed decided to hold short-term interest rates at a 46-year low of 1 percent, unchanged since last June. The central bank signaled, however, that rates could move higher now that the economic recovery has firm roots.
An increasing number of economists now believe the Fed will begin raising rates at its next meeting June 29-30, saying Friday’s inflation report, along with a recent batch of mostly strong economic data, would justify such a move.
“Put a fork in the 1 percent funds rate. It’s done,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. “The steady, upward creep in inflation continues and will have to be addressed fairly soon by the Fed.”
Some economists predict a rate increase will come in August; a few think it will come even later.
Analysts don’t believe inflation threatens the recovery, but the upward movement in inflation marks a big change in the pricing climate from a year ago. Then, the Fed worried about the possibility of deflation, a prolonged and widespread price decline.
In April, consumer prices rose by 0.2 percent, while core prices went up 0.3 percent.
Energy prices, which increased 0.1 percent in April, soared in the first four months of this year at annual rate of 28.3 percent. Prices for gasoline, fuel oil and natural gas were up sharply during the period.
Stron global demand and tensions in the Middle East have catapulted oil prices in recent days.
Food prices, meanwhile, rose 0.2 percent in April and so far this year have gone up at a 1.5 percent annual rate.
Airfare prices, which jumped 1 percent last month, rose at a 13 percent rate in the first four months of this year, reflecting in large part higher fuel costs, economists said. Costs for medical care rose 0.4 percent in April and were up at a 5.4 percent rate so far this year. College tuition and fees, which increased 0.6 percent last month, rose at a rate of 9.3 percent so far this year.

Spring Summer 2017: 5 trends for the season to come

Spring Summer 2017 Trend

From the very light dresses to the come-back of the one shoulder dress, the next season’s trends climax into a perfect mix between references to the past and contemporary style.

Officially, there are still more than fifty (very long!) days missing, but in the fashion world and in our attitude, spring is there already! Yes, because the Spring Summer trends have already been revealed during the autumn fashion week in the entire world and it is time for us to organise our ideas, to sort the coolest proposals and answer the question of the day: what will be fashionable during Spring Summer 2017?

Find out with us the season’s not-to-be-missed: 5 must-have for Spring Summer 2017.

VITAMINIC PINK– It is not explosive as the shocking pink, but neither romantic like the pastel tone. Next season’s fashion is the raspberry nuance: a vitaminic, full of energy and glamour colour! Perfect with a light and carefree dress. Or wear it in bold colour block matches. Take notes, because raspberry will be the next Spring Summer’s trendy colour.

THE STRIPES REVOLUTION– More than a season’s trend, an endless love. The stripes might win the timeless and seasonless trend prize.
