I was sitting in my favourite hairdressers in St.Tropez last Thursday waiting to have my hair cut by the wonderful Sandra at Jean Louis David. I was flicking through the latest copy of Elle magazine when I noticed a very chic French woman of a certain age around the salon. She was dressed very simply in a pair of straight leg jeans tucked into black knee-high boots. On top, she wore a simple blue shirt under a V neck grey sweater.
I have attempted to put together a similar look to the one worn by the woman in the salon.
Grey V neck sweater John Lewis / Navy blanket scarf Nordstrom / Blue shirt Boden / watch John Lewis / Straight leg blue jeans John Lewis / Rose gold leaf cuff John Lewis / Black knee length boots MarksandSpencer / Colour block shopper MarksandSpencer.
What I have observed consistently about chic French women in Paris and the South is that their outfits are often very simple. They tend to stick to what appears to be good quality basics. They then add a couple of stand out accessroies. I forgot to mention that she had a large gold cuff worn on the outside of her sweater sleeve. A no-nonsense practical outfit with a touch of glitz.
Well, it is St.Tropez after all and the women there do like a bit of glamour. I also noticed some finer details such as the cuffs of the shirt were not buttoned up nor was the collar. This added a touch of “decontracte” or casualness to the look. Something that I often see in French women. They are more prone to slinging a scarf round their neck as opposed to tyeing it in a neat knot.
Once again I was very pleased with my haircut. Sandra at Jean Louis David in St. Tropez is a genius. My style is so easy to maintain. She also added a touch of colour to the back of my hair to even up the natural grey at the front. Whether you choose to embrace grey hair or continue to colour is entirely a personal choice. Personally, I embrace my grey locks and adjust my make-up and the colours that I wear to show it off at its best. .
Next Post Tricky time of year style wise Combining neutrals.
I often wear a shirt with cuffs undone and rolled once over a light sweater. It just feels right! But the cuff outside..hmmm. Will have to try that. I’ll be over in March and I think a trip to John Lewis is in order!!
I have sometimes spoken to women who I think look particularly chic, to say how good I think they look-bearing in mind the situation as this is not always appropriate! I find they have responded with pleasure and, when it has (occasionally) happened to me, it really makes my day.
Like you, Josephine, I find a good haircut a great boost; currently my usually excellent hairdresser has had a mental aberration and left me with a very lopsided look. The only remedy is for it to grow and it is like the proverbial watched pot not boiling. I am sure the short bits are shrinking, not growing. It is infuriating to an extent totally out of proportion to the problem! I am rising above it, but only just…..
I’d love to have seen a pic of your chic French lady, but while a comment can be well received, she may not have been so keen to be photographed! I think those of us on the over fifty side do not always want to be papped and certainly not selfied like those raised in the digital age.
The lady in question was busy having her hair done so it did not seem appropriate to ask for a photo. I am sure a lot of women would not mind but I always feel a bit shy asking but as you say it is a compliment. Also they might not want to be public on a blog.
Hope your hair grows soon.
I am heading to France in the Fall. Your tips are very helpful!
My hair has become the bane of my life. It’s baby fine (my hairdresser’s comment) and could do with setting every 48 hours. I do think a great hair style is worthy of praise and have complimented two strangers over the years. Both used the expression, “You have made my day”. It was a sincere comment on my part and I learnt the names of the hairdressers involved.Alas they were miles away!
Even a simple outfit looks good with a great hair style.
Good for you. I agree I would be very flattered if somebody admired my hair and asked for the name of my hairdressr. When my hair is right it definitely enhances what I am wearing, even if it is very casual.
Every time I’ve seen a woman wearing something of excellent quality I discover it’s a French woman. This has happened quite a few times. I was wondering where this quality comes from. I’m writing from lala land Los Angeles, The land of tights and flip flops.
It is a difficult question to answer. French mothers from my observation are fairly disciplinarian so I think it starts at an early age. When I watch women in the food markets I notice that they take time inspecting and choosing the best products so I guess this strategy may be useful when choosing clothes.
Think the cuff could be from Les Georgettes. They do 3 widths and you can get double-sided leather inserts to match your outfits. I got mine in Sweden at Christmas and love it.
I too have baby fine hair, Marifach. Hairdressers always advised having layers, to give volume, until the one I still go to. He told me to grow out the layers as one length gives a betty impression of fullness. He is right! I have a simple short bob and fringe. I wash my hair in the shower every day.
How about some articles on hairstyles for ladies of a certain age? Yes, I know we’re supposed to forget the rules and do as we wish, but in reality, a bit of advice is always helpful.
It would be difficult to do an article on hairstyles as every woman is individual. Hair condition, face shape etc. It is best to visit a good hairdresser with a good reputation and get some professional advice. It is often worth doing to a top hairdresser for a good cut and then you might be able to get a more budget friendly one to copy the style. I can do a post on haircare which might be useful.
Hair at this age can sometimes be a frustration. I was in a supermarket the other day and saw an older lady looking so good – her haircut was short modern and she embraced the grey. I told her how lovely she looked and how her hairstyle suited her so well. She was chuffed and had no problem with me photographing the back and front of the style……My haircut has always been important to me…..My regular stylist is off work to have a baby…now to find someone in the interim. A friend told me the other day that she is more scared of a hair stylist than she is of a dentist….Now that says it all.
A LOVELY HAIRCUT!I’m off TODAY for the SAME!!!!!
HOW fun you can get your hair done in ST. TROPEZ!
Hair cut for me tomorrow, thank goodness as family commitments have resulted in a much too long gap between appointments. I know I must listen to my hairdresser as my hair dislikes the cold now damp weather here in the north of England and I am tempted to say “Cut it really short!” Regrets will follow so I must be strong.
I’m glad to hear that a simple look is popular in Paris. I’m planning my first visit in May and I’m already thinking about what to pack!

[244 U.S. 362, 363] Mr. George B. Grigsby for plaintiffs in error.
Solicitor General Davis and Mr. Robert Szold for defendant in error.
The foreman of the grand jury promptly reported the foregoing facts and the judge at once heard the recalcitrant witnesses; but as the record contains no detailed statement of what then occurred we cannot know the exact circumstances. The court, being of opinion 'that each and all of said questions are proper and that the answers thereto would not tend to incriminate the witnesses,' directed them to return before the grand jury and reply. Appearing there, Mason again refused to answer the first question propounded to him, but, half [244 U.S. 362, 364] yielding to frustration, said in response to the second, 'I don't know.' Hanson refused to answer either question.
During the trial of Aaron Burr and 'Re Willie,' Fed. Cas. No. 14,692e, the witness was required to answer notwithstanding his refusal upon the ground that he might thereby incriminate himself. Chief Justice Marshall announced the applicable doctrine as follows: 'When two principles come in conflict with each other, the court must give them both a reasonable construction, so as to preserve them both to a reasonable extent. The principle which entitles the United States to the testimony of every citizen, and the principle by which every witness is privileged not to accuse himself, can neither of them be entirely disregarded. They are believed both to be preserved to a reasonable extent, and according to the true intention of the rule and of the exception to that rule, by observing that course which it is conceived courts have generally observed. It is this: When a question is propounded, it belongs to the court to consider and to decide whether any direct answer to it can implicate the witness. If this be decided in the [244 U.S. 362, 365] negative, then he may answer it without violating the privilege which is secured to him by law. If a direct answer to it may criminate himself, then he must be the sole judge what his answer would be.' The constitutional protection against self-incrimination 'is confined to real danger, and does not extend to remote possibilities out of the ordinary course of law.' Heike v. United States, 227 U.S. 131, 144 , 57 S. L. ed. 450, 455, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 226, Ann. Cas. 1914C, 128; Brown v. Walker, 161 U.S. 591, 599 , 600 S., 40 L. ed. 819, 821, 822, 5 Inters. Com. Rep. 369, 16 Sup. Ct. Rep. 644.
'It was also contended that a bare possibility of legal peril was sufficient to entitle a witness to protection; nay, further, that the witness was the sole judge as to whether his evidence would bring him into danger of the law; and that the statement of his belief to that effect, if not manifestly made mala fide, should be received as conclusive. With the latter of these propositions we are altogether unable to concur. . . . To entitle a party called as a witness to the privilege of silence, the court must see, from the circumstances of the case and the nature of the evidence which the witness is called to give, that there is reasonable ground to apprehend danger to the witness from his being compelled to answer. We indeed quite agree that, if the fact of the witness being in danger be once made to appear, great latitude should be allowed to him in judging for himself of the effect of any particular question: . . . A question which might appear at first sight a very innocent one might, by affording a link in a chain of evidence, become the means of bringing home an offense to the party answering. Subject to this reservation, a judge is, in our opinion, bound to insist on a witness answering unless he is satisfied that the answer will tend to place the witness in peril.
The statement of the law in Reg. v. Boyes was expressly approved by all the judges in Ex parte Reynolds (1882) L. R. 20 Ch. Div. 294, 51 L. J. Ch. N. S. 756, 46 L. T. N. S. 508, 30 Week. Rep. 651, 46 J. P. 533. Similar announcements of it may be found in Ex parte Irvine, 74 Fed. 954, 960; Ward v. State, 2 Mo. 120, 122, 22 Am. Dec. 449; Ex parte Buskett, 106 Mo. 602, 608, 14 L.R.A. 407, 27 Am. St. Rep. 378, 17 S. W. 753, 9 Am. Crim. Rep. 754.
The general rule under which the trial judge must determine each claim according to its own particular circumstances, we think, is indicated with adequate certainty in the above-cited opinions. Ordinarily, he is in much better position to appreciate the essential facts than an appellate court can hold, and he must be permitted to exercise some discretion, fructified by common sense, when dealing with this necessarily difficult subject. Unless there has been a distinct denial of a right guaranteed, we ought not to interfere.
In the present case the witnesses certainly were not relieved from answering merely because they declared [244 U.S. 362, 367] that so to do might incriminate them. The wisdom of the rule in this regard is well illustrated by the enforced answer, 'I don't know,' given by Mason to the second question, after he had refused to reply under a claim of constitutional privilege.
The court below evidently thought neither witness had reasonable cause to apprehend danger to himself from a direct answer to any question propunded, and, in the circumstances disclosed, we cannot say he reached an erroneous conclusion.
Separate errors are also assigned to the trial court's action in permitting counsel to introduce two documents in evidence; but we think the points are without substantial merit.
The judgment under review is affirmed.

Life has been pretty non-stop as 2016 marches onward. Last weekend I finally made it back to Red Rocks for a second time in my climbing career. I think I still like granite climbing better, but what a stellar place it is. Last time I visited, I did some of my first multiple traditionally protected leads, this time: Cloud Tower! This served to remind me how quickly we can progress in whatever we put our minds to (climbing or otherwise) with good mentors, a closed-loop learning process, and a couple years of experience.
Overall, it was a short trip. I traveled down to meet Ben Kunz and Dave Yount at the Las Vegas airport, having left work at noon in order to land by 4pm. Those guys picked me up in Ben’s sprinter, with the intention of jumping onto Texas Hold’Em the next day. As a side note, I am surprised that Ben and Dave weren’t taken into questioning by the airport police. They had the van parked at arrivals, and half of Dave’s garage and possessions were sprawled across the concrete. Ben was wearing green bell-bottom pants to make the appearance of the group a bit more festive.
Me leading the 10d pitch. A longer runner on my first piece would have been helpful.
Ben headed up the hardest pitch on the route, several strenuous boulder moves. The “5.10c” roof is above.

Though much of the advise for small-business regarding money seams to be common sense, it’s a relevant reminder for all businesses to maintain financial health and stability. The article referenced below is a clear and simple reminder for all small-business owners to adhere to.
(BPT) – Attention small-business owner: Is managing your business’ finances causing you stress?
Sixty percent of small-business owners feel their stress levels are increasing, with more than a third citing managing their money as the primary cause, a recent TD Bank survey found. Money management can be demanding for a small business owner in any economy, let alone during a downturn.
“With economic pressures likely to continue, it’s important for small businesses to find ways to both grow sales and effectively manage their money,” says Jay DesMarteau, head of small business and government banking distribution at TD Bank.
The article points out three tips to help with the management of money. First update your business plan. As basic as this appears, I have found that many owners find daily activities compete for time and the business planning process can be put off. The problem is that time passes quickly and before we know it, the plan is outdated and not relevant for current business decisions. The second tip is to keep a close eye on cash. I would suggest this be a priority in good times as well as challenging times. The third tip is to find a bank that understands your business.
What the article does not address, is that business owners also need to make sure they don’t spend too much time “in the business” as opposed to spending their time “on the business”. At B2B CFO® we provide the services to assure that these critical activities are properly being addressed. This gives the business leader peace of mind to concentrate “on the business”.

This blog is about understanding the target audience for a product or service and advises businesses to diversify.
My company has always been proud to work in a niche marketplace. When people questioned whether folks wanted to read about cranes, we broke the crane down into a cab, controls, jib, hook, wire rope, rigging, counterweights, and transportation and started writing about that. Niche is something to be celebrated yet many scoff at it.
I was at a conference recently and the owner of a small business asked a panel of experts how they can get national media to cover their product. I guess they were hoping for the response to outline tactics the business could adopt to get the editor of a red top or broadsheet on the phone. Maybe both. Imagine if even 5% of their readerships bought our product; we’d be rich, they might have been thinking.
It emerged that the business manufactured a niche product targeted at a particularly small group within society. As the panel pointed out, national media coverage might not be the best vehicle to target such a specific, niche demographic. After all, what percentage of any national media product’s audience is made up of these folks or those making purchasing decisions with that market in mind? It’s probably quite small.
Further, I thought, imagine the redundancy in all the recipients to whom the message would be irrelevant. One panelist suggested the business looks at media that targets the age-range directly and another urged them to look at where that audience goes to get their information to see if there was a way to access them there. Another asked: “How does the supply chain work for other similar products?” And another: “Can you give presentations or tailor your literature?” The ideas kept coming.
For so long had the business owner been campaigning for national exposure that they almost questioned the panel’s response. They asked: “So national media might not be the way to go?” Err… no. I mean no disrespect; I’m sure the product is great and I wouldn’t criticise any small business owner, first, for making a living and, second, for standing up to ask a panel the question in the first place in front of a room full of people.
My point is that, while the importance of addressing a specific audience sounds obvious, many still don’t get it. I often hear people boasting about how many Twitter followers they have when really it should be about who is following them. 10,000 followers is great but if 9,000 are irrelevant, it’s not so good. Does the target demographic even hang out on Twitter?
The smaller and more niche the business, the more this blog applies, but there is always an audience to consider, even if it is a mass consumer marketplace. That’s why savvy marketers will target certain vehicles. It’s why influencer marketing is now so popular, particularly among those looking to engage teenagers and young adults, who follow a new age of idols who vlog (video blog) on channels like YouTube. The majority of us wouldn’t have heard of many of these influencers but in the corridors that they roam they’re incredibly powerful.
As alluded to, our business is built on a portfolio of clients from the lifting and material handling equipment marketplace. The plan was to work with market leaders in the myriad of component and product sectors that make up the industry so we had a group of non-competing businesses buying into our services. At the outset, our marketing was very consultative and selected. What would have been the point in borrowing a shed load of cash to address a much wider audience?
Ok, many would say it would be a good problem to have but say a massive marketing campaign or national media exposure did generate interest from thousands of ‘potential customers’. Small businesses would need to be equipped to deal with enquiries, process orders and deliver the service.
Go back to the questions that were probably asked at the conception phase of the product: Is there a market for it? How big is it? Can we fill it and do so in a way that’s profitable to our business? Is there a shelf life on the audience? How will it change / grow / swell / shrink? Etc. Revisit one’s earlier answers and target the demographic accordingly.
When a business understands demographics and the power of engaging an audience, it can set about diversifying, growing and safeguarding itself. I’ve learnt a lot from our own clients about this, many of which have applied their technologies, expertise and services to multiple industry sectors by doing the research and tailoring their marketing accordingly. It’s been challenging and rewarding to go along for the ride.
Put simply, if a business wants 1,000 customers it might be better advised to find 200 in five different markets rather than trying to get the same volume out of a market that isn’t big enough to provide or sustain that level of business. In an ideal world, these marketplaces will be independent of each other and influenced by different cyclical trends, yet the product or service will be largely the same. That way, costs are limited while peaks and troughs can hopefully offset each other.
When a business understands demographics and the power of engaging an audience, it can set about diversifying.
They say practice what you preach and we’re diversifying our own company. Where the lifting industry has yielded a collection of clients, we’re looking to apply the same theory to the packaging sector. Our expertise is in lifting (we used to manage trade journals in the sector) but we have diverse skills and can apply certain sciences that have worked elsewhere. We can research a new marketplace, look for synergies and build relationships.
Have you been trying to grow a business by chasing a mass audience when diversification might be a better strategy? What do you provide or make that could be used somewhere else? Do you do something related to quad bikes that could be applied to other off-road equipment? What additional markets might be able to use protective casing? If something is dropped anywhere it breaks, right. You get the idea.
Each time the product or service is diversified, support it with a targeted marketing campaign and content that engages the audience. Have some fun with it: delve deep into each niche to discover the enhancements that will lead to its widespread uptake; consider colours that relate to those marketplaces; ask influencers in the sector if a new brand or product name will help it gain traction (gripping products are probably inherently diverse!); examine the potential for further diversification within each niche.
Do you do something related to quad bikes that could be applied to other off-road equipment?
Depending on the size of the companies, markets and products this guidance is applied to, maybe there will come a time when a recruitment campaign needs to identify influencers and experts within each of these niches to head up the expanding division. If the enlarged quad bike seats have taken off in the monster truck sector, who knows everything there is to know about those giant machines? Think of the impact such a marquee recruitment could have. When you make the announcement, don’t tell the world, tell the monster market.
I wonder if the product that prompted the question to the panel at the outset can be tweaked slightly and marketed to another audience. Greater growth could be achieved that way than by a few column inches in a newspaper.

Brace yourselves. The Terminator franchise marks today as the date when artificial intelligence overtakes the planet! In 1984, the first Terminator film wowed audiences with a high-concept premise, stunning action, and iconic visuals. The Terminator franchise defined action films and caused audiences to question the growing reach of technology in our daily lives.
Many of the most popular stories on Wattpad’s sci-fi profile touch on dystopias and time travel, much like the Terminator films. On Wattpad, over 2.6 million uploads have been shared in the science fiction category. People also spent almost 30 million minutes reading sci-fi last month alone.
To see how much people love dystopian worlds, we just have to look at the success of franchises like The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Terminator. Science fiction and dystopian themes go together like peanut butter and jelly. It just works.
Luckily for us, there’s no shortage of great dystopian sci-fi to choose from on Wattpad. The best part? Even if the internet turns against us, you can count on Wattpad’s offline reading feature to keep your library intact!

The Women in Film & Photography showcase at Objectifs is a tribute to the female artists, photographers and filmmakers who have created works that tell stories with impact, break boundaries and inspire us.
For the second edition of Women in Film, we feature the voices and verve of women in an arena that has been traditionally dominated by men. In celebrating the achievements of women working in the film industry, the programme highlights the career of acclaimed film editor Mary Stephen alongside short and feature-length documentaries by women filmmakers.
Stephen will also give a free seminar on Editing for Documentary and Fiction on 5 November, 3-5pm, at Objectifs. More information here, and register here.

Former school principal 88-year-old Lou has had Alzheimer’s for the last 10 years. She now recognizes almost no one except for her husband Feng. Nonetheless, they live a full and happy life in Shanghai. But when Feng himself gets sick, he decides it’s time for them to move into a retirement home. The subjects of Zhao Qing’s tender portrait are her own great uncle and aunt, whom she followed for three years. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hold his hand to grow old together.” Please Remember Me perfectly encapsulates these words.
Kyabakura is a type of hostess club in Japan, inspired by the French cabaret. There exists an ambiguous relationship between the clients, the men, and the hostesses, that should never materialize into a sexual relationship. There are strict rules, which of course, are designed to be broken.
Omokagetayuta presents a voyage that traces the vague images of memories.
High School graduation is on the horizon. A class salutatorian prepares her celebratory speech. Despite a budding career in public speaking, she is burdened by secrets and insecurity.

Inspired by true events, Fata Morgana follows a Chinese couple who must examine their relationship after they arrive in the United States to organise the funeral rites for their only child.
Inventive and wildly fun, NUTS! recounts the mostly-true story of John Romulus Brinkley, an American who touted a cure for impotence that involved transplanting goat testicles into men. From there, the story only gets more bizarre. Mixing hand-drawn animated re-enactments, interviews, and archival footage, NUTS! traces Brinkley’s rise from poverty and obscurity to the heights of celebrity, wealth, and influence.
In the Chernobyl “Dead Zone” or “Exclusion Zone,” the film’s central characters – Hanna Zavorotnya (80), Valentyna Ivanivna (72), and Maria Shovkuta (85) – are the last survivors of a community of “self settlers” who refused to leave their ancestral homes after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. This portrait of a community tells a remarkable tale about the pull of home, the healing power of shaping one’s own destiny and the subjective nature of risk.
More a poetic film essay than a biographical documentary, this film offers glimpses of Dutch poet, painter, and anti-Apartheid activist, Breyten Breytenbach, a man who has spent his life away from the “mainstream”, with his specific, his very own Vision From the Edge. Following the artist’s preparation for his retrospective at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the film gives insight into Breyten’s creative process.
A shy maths graduate takes a holiday in Dinard before starting his first job. He hopes his sort-of girlfriend will join him, but soon strikes up a friendship with another girl working in town.

Since the start of the 90s, the Chinese government has strictly controlled the media’s access to orphanages. Accompanied by a mother living close to a Chinese orphanage for handicapped children, filmmaker Lina Yang was able to film this subject over a period of 10 years starting from 1995. Spending time and filming the lives of the orphans over a decade, the documentary observes the emotional changes of the children as they deal with their fears and insecurities.
Twenty-one-year-old Mertkan has a stable but unfulfilling life in Istanbul: living at home with his parents, working as an office boy in his father‘s construction company, hanging out with his buddies in shopping malls and discos. When he meets Gül, a Kurdish girl from eastern Turkey, awkward Mertkan starts to become more confident, and it seems possible that he could break away from his oppressive parents. But Mertkan‘s domineering father opposes any association with “those people who only want to divide our country”. Will Mertkan be strong enough to avoid becoming the kind of man that his father wants him to be?
Li Yang’s Blind Mountain unabashedly tackles the issue of slavery. Young student Bai Xuemei is conned by traffickers and sold as a wife to a remote village. Raped and beaten, she leads the life of a child-bearer with no hope of escape. Eventually, help arrives, but such assistance is illusory, and only indicates the beginning of another onslaught of tragedy.
Filmed on locations in Hong Kong and in various cities in France and UK, Flowing Stories is an ode to village life and a search for Hong Kong’s roots. Tsang’s camera records the beautiful scenery and time-honoured customs of the local village, as well as a once-a-decade village festival, which serves as a continuation of a tradition passed down through generations and a testament of family bonding. In reviewing the village’s development, the film hopes to find the meaning of home and diaspora.

Built in 1699 by Elector Friedrich III as a summer palace, Charlottenburg Palace is the largest royal palace in the city of Berlin (the royal family chose to build most of their palaces in the nearby town of Potsdam, the German version of Versailles). Inside the palace nowadays is a huge collection of 18th century French paintings (the largest outside France), the baroque Old Palace, and the New Wing, added by all-round overachieving Friedrich the Great in the mid-1700s.
It is in Berlin, so not surprisingly the palace was damaged by bombing during World War II. Parts of it were reconstructed from the 1950s. They have done a stellar job.
The palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens, including an Orangerie where they now host classical music concerts (with or without dinner) with the performers dressed in simultaneously ridiculous and fantastic period costume.
Charlottenburg Palace. Spandauer Damm 10, 10459. Buses 309, M45 to Schloss Charlottenburg.
At first it seems an odd location for a museum on Berlin’s almost 800 years of history – in a tired, 1970s-era shopping mall on West Berlin’s most famous shopping street, but a highlight of this museum is the fully functional Cold War bomb shelter under the museum. You can spend a few hours going through the 20 themed rooms of the museum and then take a tour (in English or German) of the bomb shelter, originally built to protect 3,600 people from any possible nuclear fallout. The price of the tour is included in the ticket price.
The museum is dynamic and interactive, great if you have little kids and all information is in both German and English. They have information booklets in 14 other languages (or you can download the museums app). It is also open on Mondays, which few other museums are in Berlin.
The bunker under the Story of Berlin Museum. Kurfürstendamm 207-208 10719. U1 to Uhlandstrasse.
This church, a stone’s throw from Zoologischer Garten S and U bahn station, was built between 1891 and 1895 by Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Kaiser wanted to celebrate the glory and majesty of his grandfather, the first German Kaiser, Wilhelm I, and dedicated the church to him (Wilhelm II disliked his father, Friedrich III, immensely, so there is no Kaiser Friedrich Memorial Church).
The church was a beautiful focal point for Protestant worship in the area right up until 1943, when the church was bombed during a British bombing raid on Berlin. The church was destroyed, the only part left standing was its gaping, blackened tower. After the war there were plans to demolish the ruin, but Berliners protested, attached to the tower they now called the der Hohle Zahn (the Hollow Tooth). The tower was rescued and now stands as a symbol of the futility and horrors of war.
In 1961 a new church was built next to the ruin, together with a new tower housing a chapel. The two now have their own nicknames, the Powder Box and Lipstick.
The original tower has been recently renovated and is home to beautiful mosaic interiors. Similarly, the Powder Box incorporates 21,292 stained glass inlays, in a mainly blue colour, creating a serene and moving interior.
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Breitscheidplatz, 10789. U Kurfürstendamm, U+S Zoologischer Garten.
The oldest zoo in Germany, the Berlin Zoo opened its doors in 1844, and is the most visited zoo in Europe. For good reason – it is fantastic! Animals are kept in environments as close as possible to their natural habitat and the zoo has a successful breeding program because of this.
The zoo was almost completely destroyed during World War II, and only 90 animals survived from over 3,000 who were there before the war. The zoo itself was a last strong hold of the German army at the end of the war.
The zoo suffered tragedy once again in 2011 when Knut, the world famous polar bear cub, raised by handlers at the zoo after being rejected by his mother, died unexpectedly.
The zoo nowadays has completely recovered, been redesigned, and houses one of the most diverse range of animal species in the world. There is an aquarium attached and you can check out their website for animal feeding times.
Berlin Zoo. Hardenbergplatz 8, 10787. U+S Zoologischer Garten.
Berlin is a city of green spaces, and the Tiergarten is Berlin’s most popular inner-city park. Built as a hunting ground for the royal family in the 1600s, the 255 hectare park these days is home to memorials, restaurants, and beer gardens and a stroll from the western end to the other side will take you past the Sieggessäule (or Victory Column) and bring you to the Brandenburg Gate.
If you are strolling through the lush greenery in summer perhaps proceed with care. The park is these days a favourite hangout for nudists looking to catch rays.

The Museum Keris Nusantara showcases 350 ancient Keris (a traditional Indonesian dagger), all of which were donated by a number of collectors as well as the community of Keris. Beside the Keris, this museum also displays Tombak (spears), Pedang (sword), Badik (traditional Knives from South Sulawesi) from all areas from Indonesia and part of Southeast Asia.
The Museum Keris Nusantara was inaugurated by the seventh President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo on 9 August 2017. This followed the recognition of Indonesian Keris by UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
The museum is located in the centre of Solo (Surakarta), at Jl. Bhayangkara No. 2nd, Sriwedari, Solo, and Central of Java. The building of Museum Keris Nusantara adopts the architectural style of Sukuh temples and is packed with contemporary style. It has fourth floors. Each floor presents deep information about Keris.
In the Wedharing Wacana floor, there are pictures of traditional weapons around the world. It also shows various types of pamor keris, and visitors can watch the process of keris making in the audio-visual room.
The Purwaning Wacana floor describes the development of keris in the modern era and visitors can also read the historical records through the manuscripts or books in the Museum Keris Nusantara library.
Within the Cipta Adiluhung floor, the keris making process and how to correctly open the keris from its warangka (the sheath of keris) are presented. Furthermore, visitors can see how to properly wear keris in Java clothes.
Finally, the Esthing Lampah floor, enables visitors to enjoy the work of ancestors who witnessed the progress of technology and culture of Indonesian in the past.
The Keris presented at Museum Keris Nusantara come from the Segaluh (669-1482), Kahuripan (1019-1045), Kediri (1045-1221), Singhasari (1222-1292), Majapahit (1293-1500), Mataram Islam (1588-1651), Kartasura (1680-1745), Surakarta (1745-now) and Jogjakarta (1755-now) periods. At this time the oldest Keris in the collection originates from the Galuh Kingdom era, estimated to be from the 7th century.

DVD-Rs are DVDs which can be recorded; they're "blank media" which you record onto, just as you might record onto a blank VHS tape, CD, or audio cassette. Printable DVD-Rs have the advantage of a printable surface. You can use your thermal printer (or, in the case of inkjet printable DVD-Rs, your inkjet printer) to print a black and white or colored image directly onto the DVD.
Many of the thermal printable DVD-Rs we sell here at Deltamedia can be printed right to the edge of the DVD. You'll be amazed at the wonderful quality of these images. Thermal printing isn't just appropriate for crude images, such as lettering or logos. Thermal printed images can include photo-quality pictures. For example, if you record your daughter's dance recital onto a thermal printable DVD-R you purchase from Deltamedia, you'll be able to print a gorgeous, photo-quality image of your daughter onto the front of the DVD.
If you are editing the digital footage yourself, you'll even be able to "capture" a still image from the moving footage. Say your daughter is pirouetting in one of the digital movies. Why not select a frame of this footage to turn into a still image which you can print directly onto the DVD?
Printing an image right onto the DVD is so much more attractive and professional than writing on the DVD with a Sharpie or CD marker. It's also a lot smarter than printing onto a sticky label, since printable, sticky labels sometimes cause DVD players to jam. Whether you're a professional filmmaker or an enthusiastic amateur, printable DVD-Rs will take your finished projects to a whole new level.

I'm a writer and an artist with a collection of shirts, hats, and home decor available online. I've spent the last year discovering me, finding authenticity, and on an incredible journey of growth.
I am so in love with these pears. As a native of Central California, I'm used to fresh fruits and vegetables. This makes us all a little spoiled in that department. Del Monte Sliced Pears are the real-deal in terms of flavor and freshness. I enjoy them year-round and eat them as they are. Totally recommend as a healthy and delicious alternative to sweets, and to anyone who is looking for affordable ways to enjoy fruit.
I love Cover Girl mascara and use a variety of them. This product is one of the best at making my lashes look full without making my makeup look too glammed up. I like it for the subtleness.
When i want to clean and disinfect, this is the only product I use. I love that this bleach has been around for generations because it works. I trust that the formula leaves surfaces bacteria free. I don't always use it to whiten laundry though, which is why it gets 4 stars.
There is nothing better than a warm English muffin covered in melted butter. I've been eating these for 40 years and am so glad the original is still the champ.
Ohmygosh! Hands down THE greatest combination of ingredients ever. I love Vaseline for makeup remover, lip gloss, under eye, chapped skin, heels, and dry skin. The addition of cocoa butter is an amazing treat. The scent is light and woody but its not overwhelming. It is the right amount of butter which basically gives an added level of moisturizer and care. I will forever be loyal to this product.
This product is so light weight and cooling on the skin which is perfect for summer. The gel moisturizer feels fresh, adds so much moisture, and helps to rescue my skin from prior damage. I prefer this moisturizer when it's hot and without makeup. It allows the skin to breath but also works at delivering a fresh glow.
This is inspired by the original moisturizer from decades ago, although I believe its very different from the original cream. I like all of the products made by Olay, but this is my least favorite. The age defying protection would work great on younger skin but at 43, my skin needs more age erasing. I wish I had taken better care of my skin years ago. I'm glad I'm smarter now. I still incorporate this moisturizer into my skin care from time to time. I love that it does protect against so much. At least I have a shot at growing old gracefully.
This is a variation of my favorite all-time Ruffles flavor.The chefs have amped up the BBQ taste with an explosion of flavors that hit all the taste buds. This flavor is a new favorite and its great with any dip or with no dip.
This is such a fun shade to wear during the summer. I wear it without liner or gloss and it takes me back to the 90's pale lip on a sun-drenched face. The shade blends into my natural lip color which is lighter than my summer skin, and the matte finish definitely keeps the look lasting long. Sometimes I add a darker liner and use the Hot Sand to add a playful definition to my lips. I also love to use this to create an umbre color contrast of light and dark. Almost five stars...just missed because of the tube. Its not my favorite for applying. Square lipstick always throws me for a loop. All in all.. living it up in hot sand!

This is an outdated version of this FAQ. It was effective 09/12/2013 to 09/21/2014.
Question 1. Multiple fetal anomalies were detected by ultrasound or autopsy, but chromosome analysis was normal. Are there further studies that can be done to test for a genetic disorder in the fetus?
Yes, there are other studies that may be appropriate. There are many causes of fetal anomalies, some of which are genetic. In the absence of clinical suspicion for a specific genetic disorder, a microarray analysis may be performed on the products of conception (POC) to detect subtle deletions and duplications (test code 90929, Chromosomal Microarray, POC, ClariSure® Oligo-SNP). If clinical suspicion exists for a specific disorder, there may be other genetic testing available. Please contact 1-866-GENE-INFO to discuss the case with a genetic counselor and for information on adding another test.
Question 2. My patient has a personal or family history of a chromosome abnormality. Chromosome analysis on products of conception tissue was reported as normal. Do these results guarantee that the fetus did not have the chromosome abnormality in the family?
No. Please call 1-866-GENE-INFO to discuss this case with a genetic counselor. Documentation of the specific genetic abnormality in the family will be necessary to determine the accuracy of the testing that was performed on the fetus.
Question 3. The tissue chromosome analysis was reported as a growth failure. Are there any other studies that can be attempted on the tissue to determine if the fetus has a chromosome abnormality?
When tissue fails to grow, a standard chromosome analysis is impossible to perform. There are two tests that may be considered to provide some information regarding the fetal chromosomes on tissue samples that fail to grow. FISH, Products of Conception Panel (test code 14820X) will provide information regarding the number of copies of chromosomes 13,16,18,21,22,X and Y. A Chromosomal Microarray, POC, ClariSure® Oligo-SNP (test code 90929) may be performed to detect subtle deletions and duplications of chromosome material. Please contact 1-866-GENE-INFO to discuss the case with a genetic counselor and for information on adding additional testing.
Question 4. Which chromosome abnormalities does the Chromosome Analysis, Tissue test rule out?
Question 5. Which disorders cannot be detected by the Chromosome Analysis, Tissue test?
Question 6. The report indicates that maternal cell contamination (MCC) is a potential pitfall; is there a test that can be done to test for MCC?
Yes. Maternal Cell Contamination Study, STR Analysis (test code 10262) may be ordered on a maternal blood sample. Ideally, the maternal sample should be submitted with the tissue sample. If you are considering adding MCC studies to a completed case, please call 1-866-GENE-INFO to speak with a genetic counselor.

11 November is "Armistice Day", known variously around the world as 'Remembrance Day' (alternatively 'Remembrance Sunday' which is marked on the nearest Sunday to 11 Nov) and 'Veterans Day'. Since an Armistice was signed in the early hours of 11 November 1918 to formally end the Great War at 11:00am that morning, the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour has been a time traditionally set aside for two minutes of silent reflection in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice (some have reduced this to one minute).
This Sunday (11 Nov 2018) it will be 100 years since that first Armistice Day. If you haven't already done so, buy a poppy to wear and please make a point off stopping where ever you are at 11:00am to pay the appropriate respects.

The haldi ceremony is a pre-wedding ritual that is religiously followed all across the country and is observed a couple of days before the wedding ceremony. The ritual is held at both the bride and the groom’s place separately, usually in their respective homes. Today, we will see what the haldi ceremony really is and its significance in an Indian wedding.
The ceremony gets its name from the application of haldi or turmeric that happens during the ritual. The importance given to turmeric in Indian kitchens and rituals is phenomenal, thanks to the host of health benefits that it offers. Haldi is not just used to add taste and colour to food, but it also bears significant religious importance.
The most important component of the haldi ceremony is the ‘haldi paste’ that is made by mixing turmeric, sandalwood powder and rose water to form a fragrant mixture that is applied on the body. Elderly ladies in the family apply this paste on the hands, feet, arms, legs and face of the bride and the groom and bless them as they gear up for their big day. The event is replete with lots of music, fun and tasty food before the madness of the wedding festivities begin!
Haldi is said to ward off the evil eye as per religious texts. Application of the haldi is said to protect the bride and the groom from any bad omen that might harm them before their big day. It is for the same reason that the bride and the groom are prohibited from stepping outside once the haldi ceremony is over. After this, they only get to go out on the day of the wedding.
The ladies who apply the haldi paste on the couple also shower them with blessings of a happy and healthy married life – something that is considered invaluable as the couple sets off to begin a new life with each other.
Turmeric, according to ancient Hindu texts is said to have purification powers. Application of the paste cleanses the body and the soul of the couple that is going to be tied into holy matrimony. It marks an auspicious start to a new life together with a pure heart and soul.
All said and done, the haldi ceremony also has ‘actual tangible’ benefits as well! The paste that is applied during the haldi ceremony is a strong antiseptic that prevents acne and pimples. It also sloughs off dead skin to reveal glowing skin underneath. What’s more, the faint yellow stain left behind by the turmeric gives you an ethereal glow that is both beautiful and divine.
The haldi ceremony is one of the most exciting and important pre-wedding ceremonies during the wedding. If you are the bride-to-be, then be sure to enjoy the event and seek blessings from all the elders to ensure that your wedding is smooth and stress-free.

When Asia Outlook last spoke to Telenor Myanmar in August 2016, the telecoms industry in Myanmar was undergoing drastic changes with a high demand for mobile data services and network coverage. Telenor saw an opportunity to capitalise on Myanmar’s telecoms sector while enriching the lives of people in the country.
A primary goal for this year has been the continuation and expansion of the Company’s mobile network, ensuring that its services were available for all people in Myanmar no matter where they live and work.
With the Company’s success over the past few years, it is instilling confidence that its rapid investment and build-out - which will provide nationwide coverage on all technology platforms - will be valued by new and existing customers. It is important to Telenor Myanmar that is continues to work on its build-out until all of its customers are fully satisfied with the Company’s rollout offering.
As previously mentioned, Telenor Myanmar was set-up to provide top-class communication services to the people of Myanmar, while ensuring the delivery of economic and social benefits back to the society that it is a part of.
At present, the Company is placing its focus on bringing out reliable 4G services, giving customers the chance to smoothly stream movies and have a fast gaming experience. It is important to remember that 70 percent of Telenor’s 19 million customers are already regular data users with similar patterns to those in cities around the world.
“It would appear that there no longer seems to be a divide between a developed and developing country when it comes to appetite for data,” adds Tellman. “That is what we are trying to deliver on when it comes to our mobile network and the options available to our customers.
As well as its own research on areas of improvement, Telenor has an open, honest and transparent dialogue with every customer, receiving feedback on rollouts that enables it to meet expectations in the market and cater for evolving needs.
The WowBox app has rapidly grown in popularity since its pilot launch earlier in the year, with more than one million downloads in the past six months. It is important to remember that it is early days for telecommunications and the digital frontier in Myanmar as a whole, however, the rise in popularity of services such as WowBox is showing great potential in the area.
Telenor Myanmar has invested heavily - since Asia Outlook last spoke to the Company - in its network rollout and its ability to leapfrog the technology platforms.
To date Telenor has invested more than USD 1.8 billion, looking forward it isn’t afraid to continue to spend in order to further improve both the quality and coverage available in the coming years. With these investments in process or in the pipeline, the Company will easily be able to keep up with the rising demand for data in Myanmar, supported by a national and modern network.
As with the importance of the Company’s relationship with the Government, a number of key partnerships have been formed since Telenor last spoke to Asia Outlook in 2016.
Looking forward it is pivotal for the Company that it forms key partnerships such as the aforementioned and that Myanmar will continue to embrace the opportunities that come with it, as well as the opportunities that come with having state-of-the-art digital infrastructure for business.
Particularly in the past few years, the country has experienced strong growth in the use of technology, which will be the foundation that future growth is built upon.

Uruguay has ended its participation in the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA), becoming the only known country to exit the secretive trade agreement led by the United States. Uruguay was pressured by its domestic unions and other local movements to leave the agreement.
Countries throughout the world have been extremely secretive of TISA, not wanting the public to know anything about its existence or its purpose.
However, TISA is said to be one of the most important trade agreements in the entire world.
WikiLeaks essentially says that TISA is the most important of three major treaties that are designed to help the United States in trade. The other treaties are the TransPacific Partnership and the TransAtlantic Trade and Investment Pact.
More countries are involved with TISA than the other two treaties combined.
The countries included in the treaty are: The United States and all 28 members of the European Union, Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey.
These countries have formed a group called the “Really Good Friends of Services”. Together the 52 countries control nearly 70% of all service trading worldwide.
Uruguay was supposed to be the 53rd member.
TISA has been secretly developed over the past two years. The agreement’s provisional text states that the document is supposed to remain confidential and that the public cannot see its contents for a minimum of five years after the treaty has been signed.
Additionally, the World Trade Organization has been barred from participating in negotiations.
Several requirements of TISA have been exposed thanks to organizations like WikiLeaks. Some of these mandates include the locking-in of the privatization of services, restricting the ability of participating governments to regulate areas such as environmental standards and financial services, and banning most restrictions regarding cross-border flows of information concerning a country’s own citizens.
TISA would also establish a “global enclosure system” that is designed to protect the interests of corporations by reducing their financial risk and removing both their social and environmental responsibilities.
Uruguay exiting TISA is probably not going to stop the treaty from coming into effect. The country has a small population of only 3.4 million people, and it has limited political and economic power.
The Obama administration has already been granted fast-approval on such trade agreements by the United States Congress. Meanwhile, the European Commission should also have no problems putting this treaty into effect.
However, Uruguay’s exit does have some important symbolic purpose. By exiting the negotiations, Uruguay has shown that it is indeed possible to leave major global negotiations and that seemingly inevitable deals can be pulled back.
The country reportedly exited negotiations due to disagreements over superficial details of the implications of the treaty.
Unfortunately for Uruguay, leaving the treaty will probably be detrimental to its corporations in the global market. That said, it’s impressive that the tiny country was able to stand up to the rest of the world like that.
It remains to be seen if any other countries will follow the example put forth by Uruguay.
