Is there a way to always be true to who I am no matter who is around me and no matter what the circumstances? Since I was really young I seem to morph into whatever anyone around me expects me to be. It's getting tiring, especially since people think I'm always fun, that I don't take anything seriously, that I hate religion, that I don't think about God, and that I'm a spoiled brat.
I don't have real friends, only classmates I hang out with, because I never feel safe to really be myself or to show who I really am. I want so much to be myself, but I'm afraid to be, and I shift into whatever it is the person near me thinks I am, without even making a conscious decision to do this. I think this behavior comes from being a shy child and being told just who I was and what I was thinking by my older family members and teachers and then my classmates, and I was too timid to explain myself or answer back, and instead I've been accidentally performing for years. I need a break from this. I prefer to be myself. Thank you.
Lauren Roth's Answer
There was a beautiful tree in Princeton. Every fall, all the leaves on the tree turned a brilliant yellow, such that its long, gnarled, multitudinous branches created a gargantuan canopy of sunlight-yellow, roofing the walkways around it in every direction. I loved that tree and absolutely delighted in its shining brightness every year.
When we moved to Lakewood 12 years ago, I was really excited that we were an hour’s drive from my amazing tree. Each fall, in October and then again in November, I piled all my kids into our minivan and we drove out to Princeton, waiting for the glorious, expansive yellow canopy to appear. Each year, I was disappointed, and told my kids and myself, “Hmm. We must have come too early in the season—I don’t see the canopy yet.” Or, “Hmm. We must have come too late—I don’t see the canopy.” After about 10 years of searching, I realized: we weren’t late. We weren’t early. The tree had been removed.
At first, I was really sad about the loss of my glorious tree. For a couple of autumns, I would wistfully think of the view from under it: the lovely yellow leaves, with the sunlight streaming through the spaces between them, and the blue sky above it. Then, all of a sudden, this year, I realized something. In the 12 years that I’ve been chasing my memory of that tree in Princeton, the trees around me here, where I live now, in Lakewood, have been steadily growing. Knowing that there is no yellow tree in Princeton to run to, this year I’ve been reveling in the gloriousness of the arboreal splendor in my own backyard, and, for the first time, bringing all my artistic appreciation skills to bear on the blazing oranges and fiery reds right down the street from where my life is now.
How does my tree story apply to your question? Because it’s the same process: I committed to finding the beauty in my own backyard instead of running to other places to find it. So too, in order to be yourself, the first thing you need to do is to commit to yourself. Decide: “I want to be ME, not other people’s perception of me. I want to be ME, not other people’s thought-projections of me. I’m no longer a shy, insecure child, and I am ready to be my true self.” And make that commitment a strong, unshakable one.
Ah, but then the wonderful question: who is your true self? To find out, pay close attention to who you are. Study yourself like you would study a subject for a report. What makes you happy? What makes you sad? What are your opinions on different topics? You can record the information in your head, or get a diary and actually write a report on yourself.
The best way to notice yourself and your likes, dislikes, opinions, taste preferences, thoughts, etc.—the best way to learn yourself—is through mindfulness. Mindfulness is the lovely art of paying attention. We have a great system in Judaism for inculcating mindfulness: praying every day. When we pray three times a day, we are supposed to be practicing mindfulness. We are supposed to stop being so busy and stop running here and there, and just THINK. That mindfulness of praying without getting distracted is the mindfulness that you could apply to the question, “Who am I, really?” and learn more about what makes you you.
Praying is one example of mindfulness; let me give you another, to help you on your way to practicing it. When I prepare my coffee in the morning, I really pay attention to—and enjoy—the preparations. I notice the sunlight coming in through the window. I enjoy the smell of the coffee grains, the sound of the water pouring into my glass jar (yes, I drink my morning coffee in a glass jar! Macrobiotics would understand!!), and then, when I drink the coffee, I take my time with it, noticing and savoring every sip. Mindfulness can help you learn about yourself, and it can also be very soothing during your learning process.
Of course, even if you’ve committed to being yourself, you’re also absolutely allowed to notice aspects of others’ personalities, and then decide whether or not you want to adopt those traits into your own persona. Let me share with you two examples from my own life.
You wrote that you were a shy child. I was one, too. But then I went to sleepaway camp. One evening, at the campfire, I saw girls laughing and talking and socializing, and I really wanted to join them. But a voice inside my head said, Oh, no, Lauren, you cannot just go over there and laugh with them—you are shy. At that moment, I decided, Hey! Maybe I don’t want to be shy anymore! I watched the girls, studied how they acted, then got up, walked over to them, and did the kinds of things they did. Things like: saying “Hi!!” brightly, or laughing at someone’s joke, or standing within their circle. I kept waiting for one of them to say, “Um, Lauren, you can’t do that—you are shy!” But of course no one did. So I kept on watching and learning and incorporating into myself the behaviors that I saw and liked. And within one day, I was no longer a shy kid!
My second example is more recent. This past Shabbos was my daughter’s bas mitzvah, and my whole family, from Tennessee and Texas and Baltimore and Montreal and Florida came to our home. My children and I were clearing the table after lunch on Saturday, and I accidentally dropped a dirty spoon right onto my Uncle Paul, dressed in his nicest suit. He didn’t even flinch. He had been sitting with his hands in his pockets, enjoying talking with his wife and his sister, and after he noticed the dirty spoon and its dirty pathway down his nice suit, he continued talking with his wife and his sister, and he didn’t even take his hands out of his pockets. He didn’t grumble, he didn’t grunt with annoyance, he didn’t make me feel stupid or clumsy—he just exhibited sterling character. I immediately decided that I wanted to incorporate that Uncle Paul response into my persona.
I’m rooting for you!

7 Things Believers Want Unbelievers to Know
by Pastor Dan Delzell
Most Christians want everyone to grasp God’s love for them. And with that in mind, here are 7 things believers want unbelievers to know:
1. God is far more interested in what you can become than in what you’ve been.
Jesus did not come to the world 2000 years ago to condemn people, but to save them. And that includes you. Jesus won’t keep bringing up your past. He will, however, lead you into a glorious future. That is, if you are willing to go with Him. One of the most beautiful things about God’s forgiveness is that He provides people with a fresh start and a new beginning.
2. “All of us like sheep have gone astray.” (Isaiah 53:6)
There is not one of us who deserves God’s grace and mercy. Perhaps you feel like you are a “bigger sinner” than others; or maybe you feel like you are a lot better than certain religious folks you’ve met. Either way, there is a level playing field at the foot of the cross. When a person begins to get serious about his own sin, he soon realizes that everyone is in the same boat. All of us have broken God’s commandments, and we all desperately need a Savior who will accept us anyway.
3. You would absolutely love Jesus if you really got to know Him.
Regardless of what you think about Jesus, please be aware of this: If you haven’t met Him, there is no way you can really know what that experience would bring into your life. True? I mean think about it. Perhaps you have been turned off to Jesus because of something that some professing Christians have done. If so, is it fair to Jesus for you to dismiss Him simply because some people who speak His name didn’t live up to expectations?
One of the amazing things about Jesus is that His love is so pure and refreshing. That is one of the biggest reasons those who know Him wouldn’t dream of turning their back on Him. When you find love, either in marriage or in religion, you don’t want to let it go. And thankfully, Jesus isn’t about to let go of those who love Him and trust Him as their Savior.
4. Christianity is similar to marriage. It requires faithfulness, trust, commitment, and a loving relationship.
My wife and I are thankful to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this year. Anyone who has ever been married understands how radically different marriage is than single living. Walking down the aisle is the easy part. The real work begins after the honeymoon.
Likewise, accepting Christ is easy. But following Christ will challenge you at every level of your being. And yet, it is the most rewarding experience a person could ever enjoy. That’s not to say everything in the Christian life is painless. But in the end, the sacrifice is well worth the effort.
Without trust, a marriage cannot stand. And the same is true in a relationship with God. You begin by trusting Jesus. And then you continue to trust Christ day in and day out until He brings you home to heaven. No wonder the Bible describes believers as the bride of Christ. It is a blessed union which lasts forever.
5. God would rather forgive you than punish you.
God takes no pleasure in punishing sinners, just like the Father took no pleasure in sending His Son to bear the punishment on the cross which we deserve. My wife sent me a screenshot yesterday which she saw online. It states, “Kar-ma: You get what you deserve. Christianity – Jesus got what you deserve.” That’s well said, and it’s exactly what Scripture teaches about the cross.
6. None of us would “get it” apart from the work of the Holy Spirit.
Understanding Christianity is not a matter of being “smarter.” Instead, it requires divine revelation. The Bible says, “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17) And, “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Cor. 12:3) Jesus said, “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” (John 3:6)
Would you like the benefit of divine revelation? Then simply believe the good news that Jesus died to pay for your sins on the cross. Accept Him as your Savior as you repent of your sin and turn to God for salvation. It’s that easy. And it’s the only way to “get it.”
7. Christianity hinges on the cross and the empty tomb.
Christianity does not hinge on mystical experiences or religious rituals. It hinges on history, and specifically, upon what God did at the cross and in the tomb. Christ died for sinners, and on the third day rose from the grave. If you will place your faith in the One who made history by His death and resurrection, you will enjoy life forever with God.
But spiritual conversion is necessary. It’s as simple as receiving a gift. You believe and receive. And then you start to flow in the wellspring of the Holy Spirit because He now resides within you.
Will you come to the cross? Will you kneel in your heart before the Maker of heaven and earth? He willingly gave His life so that you can be forgiven, and He rose from the grave to give you new life today and forever. Trust in those facts and in that Person as the basis of your acceptance into God’s family. And you will never be the same. You will become “a new creation” in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:17)
If you are an unbeliever, do you see why believers want you to know these 7 things? Now it’s between you and God.

The Kickstarter driver for Double Fine's old school point-and-click adventure game has come to a close, with an impressive $3.3 million raised for the project.
Tim Schafer and company set a goal of $400,000, which it reached in mere hours. A total of 87,142 backers have forked over $3,336,371 to help the Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion and Full Throttle designer take another crack at the classic genre.
According to Kickstarter's stat tracker, the majority of pledges were in the 15-60 dollar range. 47,946 backers pledged the minimum amount of $15. 24,636 kicked in $30, 1,090 gave $60.
However, four backers committed $10,000, earning themselves lunch with Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert, a tour of the Double Fine's studio, and all previous reward tiers.
The team celebrated on a livestream, where Schafer also promised the game will be "ten times as good as Grim Fandango". A tall order indeed.

Q If government agencies could do one thing to re- duce insider threats, what should it be? AChange their mindsets. To catch criminals, you have to think like a criminal. That re- quires thinking creatively about how and why someone might want to steal informa- tion from your agency. What does your agency have that someone would want to steal? What would their moti- vations be? How could they do it? With that kind of thinking, an agency will be able to develop IT risk sce- narios that represent actions an insider might take, and be on the look out for those speci c actions. QDo most government agencies have the technology they need to effectively deal with insider threats? Most have some sort of security information and event management system (SIEM) and a number have data loss prevention (DLP) systems, which are a good start. These systems work pretty well at watching for the transfer of speci c types of documents through the net- work perimeter and being able to audit hosts and desk- tops to make sure you don't have documents there that are sensitive, but they don't provide enough context to be able to build a case. They get you far enough to un- derstand that you have a problem, but not far enough to help you understand why. This means a lot of potential false positives and a lot of effort to tune the DLP sys- tems to reduce noise. We can't get to root cause analy- sis without using a big data system to get additional context and perform statistical analysis on the data. Q What do agencies need to nish the job? They need a way to analyze log data and big data, and the ability to run statistical analysis and visualiza- tion alongside of that. That's what provides the context you need to nd legitimate cases of insider fraud and eliminate false positives. A DLP system, for example, isn't going to take into account whether or not a person changes home addresses four times in the last three months, hasn't taken a vacation in the last two years or has had a stressful event such as a personal relation- ship change. Those are critical factors to determining context for insider threats. Q What is the relationship of big data to insider threats? When people talk about big data, they are really talking about structured and unstructured machine data---the data in log les generated constantly by applications, IT architectures that support them and traditional security point solutions. Important examples include social me- dia, emails and web logs. This data is then seen in the context of HR vacation time records, personnel reviews and layoff notices. Collected and analyzed properly, this data provides the missing link to solving insider threats. What big data gives you is context, which can help understand the intent of the fraud. For example, when an employee does something against policy, a log is generated. But was it due to ignorance of policy or was it malicious? Big data systems can help you un- derstand the difference. Q What is the technology that can make those kinds of connections? It's about combining big data with statistical analysis, threat modeling and forecasting, and visualization so that you can analyze any set of data, from any source. You should also be able to search for any term through- out all of your data and look at standard deviations over a speci c period of time to nd outliers. For example: "Find me all of the failed logins across these types of systems that didn't happen on a Saturday, in this spe- ci c department and check this against any individuals on a layoff noti cation list." That's the type of speci city you need. Mark Seward, Senior Director, Public Sector, Splunk Inc.

Harvest is a special time for giving thanks for the food we eat as well as remembering that we are not all as fortunate as each other.
In our special harvest assembly parents, carers and children from across the school learnt about the journey that our food takes before it is available for us to buy. We learnt how delicate fruit is usually handpicked from trees and bushes so that it doesn’t get bruised and that many vegetables grow in the ground and are harvested using special machines.
Through their fabulous singing, the children captured the celebration of harvest with songs about the red combine harvester, the harvest moon and about the wide variety of foods that are available for us to eat.
The back drop to our assembly was a table of food, kindly donated by our families. This has been greatly received by The Salvation Army who will distribute it. We would like to thank you for your generosity.

Ask The Expert: Energy-Boosting, Healthy Snacks For Mom And Kids
A Boston Children’s Hospital dietitian gives us ideas about what to pack for that long car ride to Grandma’s this Christmas.
With Christmas shopping in full swing and long days of holiday traveling ahead, both moms and kids are going to need a little extra boost of energy. But with experts on the fence about coffee and more calorie-heavy meals on the horizon, what can you and your kids enjoy that’s easy, healthy, and gives everyone the boost they need? We asked Skylar Griggs, a registered dietitian at Boston Children’s Hospital for tips and recipes for moms and kids.
What are the best kinds of snacks moms can pack for kids on long car rides?
Always focus on two things for healthy snacks: balance and portability. Balance out your snacks so they include a carbohydrate and a protein or a fat. You want snacks you can grab as you run out the door, like easy sandwiches or homemade trail mix, and something that will stay fresh while traveling, like fruit in a small cooler.
What are a few common misconceptions about snacking?
A common misconception is that snacks are unhealthy, when in reality, they are essential to adequate nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight for moms and kids alike. Generally, it’s recommended to eat something every three to 4 hours during the day: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and a post-dinner snack if you’re still awake three hours after dinner. Another misconception is that 100 calorie packs are good for you simply because they only have 100 calories. Many 100 calorie snack packs lack adequate fiber, and leave you feeling hungry soon after eating them. When looking for packaged snacks, try choosing items with more fiber than sugar, and at least 5 grams of protein. The fiber and protein will keep your child satisfied and less sugar means less empty calories.
What about a little energy boost for Mom without resorting to caffeine?
Try swapping out coffee for an alternative with a little less caffeine, like green tea. Studies suggest that the active component in green tea, EGCG, facilitates weight loss. Avoid eating foods high in sugar which will make fatigue worse in the long run. Keep a high fiber snack on hand, like an apple with a handful of nuts. Apples are full of vitamin C, and can help deliver that boost of energy, while the nuts stabilize blood sugar.
What should Moms and kids avoid in order to keep energy up?
Avoid dehydration. It can be a cause of fatigue. Make sure to bring a bottle of water on the road with you wherever you go. Add some fresh fruit combinations to flavor your ice water and make it more fun. Try things like strawberry-basil, apple-cinnamon, or ginger-pear.
What snack recipes will kids love?
1) Don’t count out the old staples. Natural peanut butter, or nut-free Sunbutter, and jelly sandwiches are quick to prepare and stay fresh for some time. Add a sliced apple instead of jelly for some extra heart healthy fiber. Or try a new spin by using almond or cashew butter with a banana and a squirt of natural honey on whole wheat bread.
2) Hummus is an easy side you can throw in a Tupperware container. It’s high in protein and fiber and its perfect for long car rides. You can pair any flavor of hummus with veggies, crackers, or apples for dipping.
3) Homemade trail mix is great, too. Combine various types of nuts, like peanuts, walnuts, and cashews, with a smaller amount of dried fruit and throw it all in a bag. For kids, that can have seeds but not nuts, you can use pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead.
4) Pair any kind of fruit with string cheese or a mini Babybel cheese but make sure to keep the cheese in an insulated lunch bag. You can make it even more exciting—if you’re not planning to be in a moving car while your child eats it—by making snack kabobs. Just put low-fat cubes of cheese and a few grapes on a stick.
Any recipes for Moms, too?
Any of the kids recipes will help keep Mom’s metabolism and energy up too, but specifically for moms:
1) Half a turkey sandwich. Pair a lean turkey or chicken breast with one-fourth of an avocado and place it all on a slice of whole wheat or oat bread. Avocados are a good source of healthy fat and help stabilize blood sugar.
2) Put some almonds in an empty Altoids tin or small Tupperware. They’re easy to snack on during a long car ride and the serving size allows for portion control. Add some coconut flakes for variety and extra energy.
3) Greek yogurt with half a banana or fruit. Greek yogurt is packed with protein for energy and healthy bacteria for the gut, and it pairs nicely with fresh, portable fruit.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Australian flag carrier Qantas likely will form some kind of alliance with another airline in the future, Chief Executive Officer Geoff Dixon said Sunday.
''I think that we will be in some association with another carrier,'' he told Australian television's Nine Network. ''I think that will become necessary.''
Dixon declined to identify a likely partner and said the Qantas brand name would remain even if it ties up with another carrier.
''I've always said I believe Singapore Airlines are a wonderful carrier, have a tremendous brand, tremendous track record,'' Dixon said, responding to recent speculation about a possible merger between Qantas Airways Ltd. and its Singapore rival.
''Yes, they would be a lovely partner but so would British Airways, so would Cathay Pacific, so would a lot of carriers out there,'' he added. ''So would Air New Zealand, which was literally taken away from us.''
Qantas and Air New Zealand's proposed alliance was vetoed in 2003 by New Zealand's competition watchdog, which said it would be anticompetitive.
Dixon said he supports a relaxing of a foreign ownership cap in Qantas, which currently allows single foreign airlines to own no more than 25 percent of its stock and limits overall foreign ownership to 49 percent of the carrier.
''We would like to be like every other company in Australia - all the restrictions moved,'' he said.
Dixon also said Qantas has no immediate plans to lift its fuel surcharge as world oil prices surge.
''We have not made a decision in the pipeline for that at all,'' he said. ''It's tough, at $60 a barrel, but we have no immediate plans.''
Qantas currently slaps a 20 Australian dollar ($15.39; euro12.74) fuel levy on all domestic tickets and A$60 ($46.17; euro38.21) for international routes.
''We are not confident that oil prices will go down dramatically in the next two or three years so the way we structure our business going forward has got to take into account that we are going to have high oil prices for quite a long time,'' he said.
Dixon said Qantas will wait three or four months to see where the oil price is headed before reviewing the possibility of lifting its fuel surcharge.
''But look, if things got very, very tough and it became a competitive issue obviously we will have to look at it,'' he said.

I was at the premiere of Cult’s Talk is Cheap DVD here in Austin and could not believe my eyes for most of it. The crowd’s response was very much the same. After I got the DVD, I watched it multiple times and now, the full video is online, thanks to Cult. Check it out above.

I saw this on the Cult blog and had to repost to give Dak and the photographer some love. Read his interview with Dig here.
Finding American-made components and frames is easier than you think. Check out what Cult’s current US-made offerings are.
Everyone’s been waiting for this one and from the looks of the trailer, it’s gonna be good. I can’t wait to see all the Austin spots…
Cult just posted this up on their blog:
“Everyone is invited to join us for a free show on march 17th at EMPIRE in Austin, Texas for the official release of the JAPANTHER/CULT tshirt…Ninjasonik and Japanther will preform starting at 1 pm in the back, outside…tshirts are limited, photos coming soon…”
Be there Austin and get outta the SxSW downtown shitshow.
Cult just posted up Navaz‘s edit from the House of Vans jam session that went down in Greenpoint, Brooklyn a few weeks back. Videos like this make me miss NYC so much.

I n the 1948 London Olympics, Czech runner Emil Zatopek won a gold medal in the 10,000 meters and bronze in the 5,000.
Four years later in Helsinki, Finland, Zatopek completed the most amazing long-distance running accomplishment in Olympic history, winning the 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters, and marathon, all in Olympic record times.
The 1952 Olympic marathon was Zatopek's first marathon and he decided to run just a few days before. His race strategy was classic Zatopek; at the starting line he went up to Jim Peters, the British champion and race favorite, and asked if Peters minded if he ran with him.
Peters went out punishingly fast in the hope of tiring Zatopek. At the 10-mile mark, Zatopek asked Peters if the pace was good for him. Peters, again trying to fool Zatopek, said, "it's too slow."
Zatopek sped up and went on to win while Peters dropped out.
Besides his Olympic feats, Zatopek set 18 world records at multiple distances from 1946-56. His running form was less than ideal, more brute force than efficient, and earned him the nickname "the Czech Locomotive."
In the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, Australian Ron Clarke was heavily favored in the 10,000 meters and it was a disappointment to only earn a bronze medal. In 1965, Clarke was the best runner in the world, setting world records 12 times at various distances.
Clarke went to Czechoslovakia to run in a meet in 1966 and met Zatopek, then retired from running and a high level official in the
Clarke, to his astonishment, found Zatopek's 10,000 meter Olympic gold medal from Helsinki, and a note saying, "Look after this, you deserve it."
In the 1968 Olympic 10,000 meter finals in Mexico City, Clarke collapsed and nearly died from altitude sickness and suffered permanent heart damage. Clarke went into politics and just this year, at age 75, finished eight years as mayor of the Gold Coast region.
Life wasn't so good for Zatopek however. After the 1968 "Prague Spring," involving government reform and Russian invasion, Zatopek was stripped of his Communist party rank and forced to work in a series of hard labor jobs for almost 20 years.
One of our great local runners, Hansi Rigney of Carmel, is the daughter of Giulio DePetra, who made the Italian Olympic team in race walking in 1936. DePetra was unable to compete in the 1936 Games in Berlin because he was called into the Army. He moved to Carmel Highlands in 1948.
Rigney doesn't know how her father became a friend of Zatopek, but in 1991 when Zatopek was finally allowed to leave Czechoslovakia, he came to Carmel and stayed with her father for a few days. DePetra invited a few local runners and race walkers, including Nellie Wright and Kim Wilkinson.
They were told there would be a special guest for dinner and when they met the great Zatopek they were incredibly honored and surprised. Both commented with virtually the same words, "at almost age 70, he was friendly, energetic, and fiery. ... I got goosebumps."
Zatopek said, "Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater." He died in 2000.

Shin-Minato Soba Restaurant
Japanaese Tradtional Cuisine
What seems like an never ending extravaganza of delicious food will be sure to fill you up for the whole day, so make sure you prepare your stomach for a feast. With dishes ranging from traditional Japanese to western cuisine, a rollercoaster of different flavors are catered just for you.
Use A Katana
Matsunaga Sensei, a world renowned swordsmith from Kumamoto prefecture is known for his flawless katana masterpieces. From the top Sumo wrestler in Japan to famous actors, Matsunaga Sensei has made a Katana for everyone and their grandmother. We had the opportunity to try first-hand at wielding one of his own Katanas. With a simple instruction to slice diagonally at the rolled up floor mat, my first attempt was a fail. it was embarrassing to say the least. as all my friends were looking at me but Matsunaga Sensei assured me that all I had to do was look a little under my striking zone and slice. My second attempt came with a piece of the mat sliced cleanly from the stand. It felt great, and Matsunaga Sensei acnkowledge my ability. I have never wielded a sword but if you want to try yourself, I recommend visiting Shin Minato Soba and Katana Restaurant for top tier food and fun. An experience that will be one you can tell your friends.

Make A Katana
Matsunaga Sensei invited our group to his house so we can see where he makes the Katanas he is so famous for. When we arrived, the first building we came upon was a medium-sized room where he instructs his students on Katana wielding. He had a wall full of pictures that were of all the people he met from his time as a swordsmith. Even though you might of never heard of him, I am sure you have definitely seen his Katanas some time in your life. His love for foreigners showed through his bright smile as he was showing us a picture of when he taught a group of Taiwanese students who came to visit him.
After hearing some of his funny stories about his adventures with teaching, he showed us where the magic happens. It was a small workstation, with various tools all lined up all over the wall. He had a huge furnace which was said to go up to 2552F. It is insanely hot, but this is the amount of heat it takes to craft a Katana. Although he didn’t show us a life presentation of how he made one, he did walk us through step by step. You can also reserve in advance here http://www.taiken-kumamoto.jp/programs/detail/175 , if you would you like to see a real Katana being made. It takes about 3-5 years to learn about how to make a Katana, and then you have to take one hardest test in Japan to be able to be considered a legal swordsmith. Luckily for Matsunaga Sensei, he passed the test on the first try, he mentioned as he gave a laughter of relief.
Lastly, we were asked to join him and Ms. Matsunaga for tea. I do ikebana, a type of Japanese flower arrangement, so I immediately caught of her flowers that were neatly placed in the door entrance. We clicked instantly and talked about various topics regarding life adventures. What was meant to be an hour tour of his work station ended up being a 2 hour hanging out session, I would love to go back again and take another whack at using the Katana.

The search function is pretty good at finding every task or file related to your search query (even on completed tasks). Tagging projects and tasks helps our team keep campaigns organized instead of just floating around somewhere in Asana.
When you upload images, they upload with a thumbnail preview so you can see what the file is before even opening it. The addition of “boards” allows our team to move projects from one stage to the next and is a nice visual element to Asana. The “copy task” functionality saves me time on repeated tasks, which is huge for me each week.
The abiilty to “pin to top” is especially helpful for long threads because you can keep important messages and/or files in clear view instead of buried within a long conversation back and forth with team members. Finally, the two-verification method when deleting a task is nice because the platform doesn’t just get rid of something immediately–it makes you confirm it before deleting it from the backend.
The biggest drawback of Asana for me is the inability to edit comments. Users can only delete and type a new one. This seems like a simple thing to add especially when followers and @ mentions get an email notification of every new update to a task.

Rabbits have a boring diet because it consists of grass and hay for the most part. Whether you are bored of feeding them the same thing over and over or you want to treat your rabbit to something more flavorful, you’ll need to know what food is safe for a rabbit.
Almost any houseplant is safe for a rabbit, but most people would rather sacrifice some of their food than their gardens. In this article, you will discover what human food items bunnies can eat alongside how often you should feed them said items.
Toward the end, you will find out the best practices for safely treating your rabbit. Bookmark this post for future reference, and let’s get started.
What Human Food Can Bunnies Eat?
If you feel like your rabbit is looking at your food with longing eyes, you know you cannot simply feed him a chunk. In this section, we will explore which food items that humans eat are also safe for rabbits’ extremely sensitive digestive tracts.
Rabbits find it difficult to digest human food that requires serious acid influx for proper digestion. They also can’t process food items that have plenty of liquid content. This makes bananas the perfect treat for rabbits. Bananas don’t have a higher water-to-fiber ratio and are pretty soft, which means they are easier to digest. Feed your rabbit a quarter of a banana twice a month.
Who doesn’t love strawberries? If you’re enjoying strawberries and your rabbit is nearby, you can offer him half a strawberry. If the rabbit is a dwarf variety, this would need to be cut further down. Rabbits can easily nibble through a strawberry and digest its ‘fruity’ part. Make sure not to do this more than once a week, though.
Rabbits can safely eat raspberries, but it is easy to overfeed them this small fruit. You have to make sure they don’t consume more than a spoonful of raspberry for every 7 lbs of body weight. A rabbit can consume raspberries once a week provided it hasn’t had any other fruit that week.
Rabbits can digest cucumbers because of their soft pulp. The outer layer of cucumber is crispy, which makes them tastier for rabbits. Try to give more of the outer skin than the inside pulp to your rabbit, and limit this treat to once a month. Cucumbers don’t have as many calories as fruits, so even if you stray from a once-a-month frequency, your pet will remain in shape.
The odds of you enjoying asparagus are quite low, so if you plan to feed it to your rabbit, chances are that you’re doing this for variety. It is a fair vegetable to include in your rabbit’s diet once or twice a month.
Asparagus is generally healthy in the human diet, which makes you think it is healthy for your rabbit as well. But when it comes to a rabbit’s diet, asparagus is as much of a treat as raspberries. It should be included as a small deviation and never as the main diet.
Rabbits can sometimes consume too much of a watery vegetable and end up getting diarrhea. That’s why celery should not be a treat you give your rabbit often. But during summers, this can be a nice supplement to include in his diet once a week (if the rabbit is fed no other veggies or fruits).
If you’ve bought Curly Kale in the spur of motivation but can’t bring yourself to eat it, you are due for some good news and bad news. The good news is that your rabbit can eat Kale, and the bad news is that it cannot eat a lot of it. You can feed small bits of Kale to your rabbit once a week if there are no other veggies in his diet.
Curly Kale is one variety of Kale, and you might wonder if standard Kale can also be fed to a rabbit. While it is okay to feed regular Kale to a rabbit now and then, consistent Kale consumption can be harmful to the animal.
If you’ve heard that lettuce is toxic to rabbits, you might be surprised at this entry. Iceberg lettuce can indeed harm a rabbit since it contains lactucarium. However, romaine lettuce doesn’t have as much lactucarium. The greener parts of romaine lettuce can be given to a rabbit once a month.
Rabbits can eat cherries as long as the serving is slowly introduced to the rabbit’s diet. If the rabbit is not accustomed to it, limit his first exposure to half a cherry. You need to remove the pit. The feeding frequency for cherries is the same as any fruit: once every week at maximum. If you feed cherries to your rabbit, you cannot feed him any other fruit that week.
One of the most oft-recommended treats for rabbits is cranberries. The rabbit must be over 7 months old before he can properly digest cranberries. Limit cranberry treats to once a week initially, then gradually increase it to twice a week if the rabbit isn’t eating any other fruits.
Blackcurrant berries are healthy and nutritious but should be given to rabbits sparingly. These barriers can act as an occasional treat but cannot be fed to rabbits regularly. Their alkaline nature doesn’t harm the animal’s stomach, but their calorie content does put an exercise burden on the rabbit. Rabbits already chew a lot to expend their energy. Imagine what an over energized rabbit will do to the house furniture.
You can share a slice of apple with your rabbit. The fruit has a largely alkaline effect, and its skin can be good for a rabbit. Whenever you feed apple slices to your rabbit, make sure he consumes the fruit with the skin on. A grown-up rabbit can stomach apple slices (1 to 2) once a week. Please note that this can cause obesity.
An adult rabbit can digest peaches with relative ease. There are no chemicals in the fruit that can produce long-term negative effects either. That’s why peaches are great carefree treats for rabbits. But just like with any fruit, peaches can cause obesity in rabbits, so they should be limited to “occasional treat” status.
Rabbits can consume watermelon, and they love it to the point where you might be tempted to offer more. However, watermelon is best fed to a rabbit once a month. It is very sugary for a rabbit’s metabolism and can contribute to weight gain.
Watermelon seeds can also be problematic, though adult rabbits don’t usually have an issue with them. If your rabbit has not been introduced to watermelon, make sure the initial dose is small.
Papaya is healthy enough for rabbits to the point of being packaged as a rabbit snack. It contains enzymes that can help break down food that might otherwise upset the rabbit’s digestive system. Still, papaya isn’t exempt from the downside of fruits in a rabbit’s diet: calories. Feeding papaya to your rabbit can make him gain weight.
Apricot kernels can be deadly for animals, which makes most pet owners overly cautious about feeding the fruit itself to their pets. An apricot is safe for a rabbit’s diet as long as it is limited to once or twice a week. The apricot pit must be removed, and no more than 1/3rd of an apricot should be offered to a 6lb rabbit.
Small amounts of Kiwi can add variety to your rabbit’s diet. So whenever you’re making a fruit salad or simply feel like treating your bunny, you can cut a small piece for him. Make sure you don’t treat him too often with kiwi or any other fruit.
Rabbits can consume mango bites, which is why dried mango pieces are often packaged as bunny treats. Please note that mangoes are pretty high in calories, which means they should be given only to rabbits that are underweight or very active.
A pineapple is yet another tropical fruit that you can offer to a rabbit. But try not to give your rabbit more than half a slice of pineapple once a month. Any more than that can start causing gas, which can be very painful for the rabbit.
Best practices for treating your rabbit
As you might have noticed, there is no black-and-white answer regarding what rabbits can eat besides hay and grass. The following section covers the best practices for treating your rabbit.
- Treat an adult only – Younger rabbits have very sensitive digestive tracts that aren’t capable of processing treats that adult rabbits can.
- Don’t compound treats – You can give your rabbit an apple slice every week. Or you can feed him strawberry bits every week as well. But you cannot feed him a whole strawberry and two apple slices within a week.
- Use the one-treat-a-week metric – You can cut tiny pieces of five different fruits and feed a small portion of the mix to your rabbit. Since calories are the most significant concern, reducing the quantity to once a week is ideal.
- Use gradual exposure every time – It might seem like your rabbit loves the treats you offer him, but his stomach might not like what it is not ready for. That’s why you should make sure that it gets a sample. Any fruit or veggie you introduce must be given in a small portion alongside other food.
- Low calories + Low acidity – The two main aspects you need to avoid when giving your rabbit anything besides hay are densely-packed calories and high acidity. Rabbits might experience heartburn if the fruit/veggie they eat has a net-acidic effect. Rabbits love calories in the short term, but their bodies aren’t built to process fruits and veggies in large quantities.
Rabbits can eat fruits and vegetables once or twice a week, depending on the type of fruit or vegetable. As a rule of thumb, any treat that the rabbit consumes should not be calorie-dense or very acidic. Moreover, the treat did not produce gas in the rabbit’s digestive tract. Refer to the post above to find out the human foods that the adult rabbit can consume.

The Dutch government today gave $15 million
to support the Kosovo budget for 1999, which will be used to pay for public
services and stipends for needy Kosovars.
Presenting the donation, the Head of the Netherlands Office in Pristina, Mr. Robert Van Lanschot said the money would cover 25 to 30 per cent of the Kosovo Consolidated Budget.
"It's a very considerable amount for keeping this place running as far as the normal public sector is concerned like medical care, education and the judicial system," he said in a statement issued by the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
Head of UNMIK Bernard Kouchner said the money "will spread out to over approximately 50,000 Kosovars in the health and education systems and other sectors".
Dr. Kouchner said the Dutch Government's contribution would be an integral part of the UNMIK's rebuilding effort in Kosovo and would help foster the economic recovery process in the province.

Both candidates for the open commissioner seat in Benton Fire District 1 hope their previous experience as commissioners will persuade citizens to vote for them.
E.W. Bill Houchin, 77, and Gerald Sleater, 81, have worked together as commissioners and served together in the fire district. Houchin served as commissioner for 12 years and Sleater has been a commissioner for the past 23 years.
Now they are running against each other for Sleater's open commission position. Sleater has held a commission position since he was elected in 1990. Houchin lost his seat in the 2012 election.
"I have nothing but good things to say about Bill," Sleater said. "He is a good man. He has been with the district for a long time."
Houchin also has a lot of respect for Sleater and the things they have been able to accomplish together, he said.
"I feel like this will be a close race," he said. "Jerry has been here a long time too. He has done some good things."
Sleater has been with the fire district for 49 years, he said. He started as a firefighter in 1964 and was with the district in that capacity until he was injured in a fire in 1982.
Sleater has helped start a resident fire program, improve the district's fleet of firetrucks and build a training facility with the city of Kennewick, he said. He plans to continue to increase the number of volunteers in the program if reelected.
Sleater's background running a grocery store in the Tri-Cities for more than 20 years has prepared him to make difficult decisions for the district, he said. Sleater has held every rank in the district. He was first elected commissioner in 1984.
"I have been through all the ups and downs here," he said. "I know what the people need, it's not foreign to me."
Houchin, of Finley, spent 26 years as a firefighter with the Richland Fire Department. Once he was done fighting fires, Houchin stayed on with the department to assist firefighters when major fires broke out.
During Houchin's time as commissioner, he said he felt he had a good working relationship with everyone in the district and helped grow the district into one of the strongest in the Mid-Columbia. Houchin said he feels his ability to adapt when unexpected problems come up is a valuable asset.
"I think I have enough savvy of what's going on to come to the right conclusion even though it might not be my ideal conclusion," he said. "You really have to work with people to come to a consensus."
Both men said ensuring that a proposed tax measure to collect an increase in property tax revenue is the most pressing issue facing the district.
The measure, Proposition 1, asks voters to approve a tax rate of $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed value to pay for maintenance, operations and capital facilities. The measure is on Tuesday's ballot.

Demetri couldn't help but smile at that either. "You'll always make people happy just saying that." He kissed the other again as Nell wrapped his arms around him, and he found he liked it very much. "I want to see you Nell." He leaned back a little and brushed his fingers against Nell's cheek as he stood up and started removing his own jacket and started unbuttoning his waistcoat, keeping his eyes on Nell.

The death of a toddler in Houston reverberated around the nation as the first U.S. loss in the swine flu epidemic.
The child’s death presented an interesting problem for consumers of news in the media age. One death, a hundred deaths, a thousand deaths, ten thousand influenza deaths does not translate into a U.S. epidemic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that ordinary season influenza kills an average of 36,171 Americans a year.
But hyper-attention to a relatively few Swine Flu deaths, perhaps a hundred or so, leading the nightly news broadcasts and CNN and Fox and MSNBC, with breathless attention to the individual tragedies, will almost certainly make it seem an epidemic. What we’ll really have is an outbreak of surgical masks. There will be a great clamor of for flue swine vaccines.
But given the number of Americans who pass on ordinary flu vaccines each year, despite the wide availability, maybe the media ought to gin up a little panic over seasonal influenza. After all, 36,171 preventable deaths ain’t nothing.

What do your friends and your contacts in Russia think about what is
happening now--what is going to happen in the next few months?
He was Chief Political Analyst at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow from 1994-1997.
I think there is a lot of anxiety. I think many Russians are finally coming to
grips with the fact that their country has declined drastically over the past
I mean, look at Putin's internet message at the end of last year, which I think
laid that out in very great detail. But I think, one, Russians are willing to
accept that now. Whereas, they wouldn't have accepted it, say, 3 or 4 years
ago--at least the radical reform elements. Those who were pro reform would not
have accepted it. So they understand that. They understand that unless they
begin to rebuild their country that they are not going to be able to enjoy the
status in world affairs that they think is due Russia.
Now, the real question, I think, is to what extent Russian political elites
are prepared to make the sacrifices that would be necessary to begin to rebuild
that country and how they would see those sacrifices. The fact of the matter
is that the Russian political elites over the past decade have enriched
themselves by preying on a weak state. They really don't have an interest in a
strong state, for all the rhetoric about the need for a strong state.
Are they going to change at this point? I think that is an open question. I
think they have at this point a lot of anxieties about Putin, in part because
to a certain extent they made him a political leader, but they don't know
whether they can control him and they don't know what this type of figure, who
is possibly uncontrolled, means for this system that has developed. Will he be
able to find sources of support--particularly in the institutions of
coercion--that will allow him to discipline this elite, and, in fact, build the
strong state that this elite says they want, but at their expense?
A lot of the people I'm talking to feel that an era is over. It's not that
the Yeltsin era is over, but this bigger moment in history is over, at least
for the time being. Do you think that's true?
She is an independent journalist and the author of KGB: State Within a
I think that definitely this stage of chaotic democracy is over, this
post-Soviet epoch is over. I do think that we're getting into the stage of the
authoritarian state. I hope that it's not going to be as unhuman as the Soviet
Union was. But I don't expect that Russia will keep going on the road of
democracy from now on.
Probably it will take another generation, probably the generation of my
daughter or her kids, to take another stand for creating some civilized and
democratic society in Russia. From that perspective, yes, I do think that the
great epoch of great hopes and great illusions is over.
Unfortunately, probably, I'm not going to live long enough to see Russia as a
truly democratic state. But after all, back 15 years ago I never expected to
have even a possibility to travel and study abroad, to become an independent
journalist and independent political analyst.
From that perspective, I think I got a gift I never expected to get. And the
fact that I probably dreamed to have more for my country and it's not going to
happen in my life--okay, you know, there are a lot of false expectations, and
this probably is not going to happen. I'm still grateful that I lived long
enough to see the end of the Soviet Empire. It's not a bad outcome for one's
When you say you think that things will be authoritarian, that it's becoming
that way and will be for a while, what's that going to look like in Russia in
In fact, there are a lot of examples in Latin America. Look at Mexico,
basically a one-party system, semi-democratic elections. Or one even can say
that it's a bit fake elections--big state, huge corruption. This is one
I think the best bet is to have something like Chile under Pinochet--where you
have a strong leader who didn't think twice to kill his opponents, but who did
his best in order to open the country and to promote economic reforms that made
Chile now one of the fastest growing nations in the Latin America. And then
there are examples like Paraguay and Columbia...I mean the authoritarian regime
trapped into crimes, trapped into organized crimes. No real contested
elections--democracy that comes every four years just to make the next, or the
same, president look legitimate. And huge gap between those who are rich and
those who are poor.
What has Russia become?
He was Chief Political Analyst at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow from
I think Russia has become in many ways, something of a replica of what it was
before the Soviet era. There's a great deal about Russia in the year 2000 that
is very similar to the Russia of the year 1900--some of the same basic
questions. What are the appropriate relationships between executive power and
legislative and legal power? What is the relative balance between central
power and regional and local power? How do you deal with the problem of the
land, of agriculture and the peasantry? What is the relative role of domestic
capital versus foreign capital? How much does Russia want to be like the West?
How much does it want to maintain an adherence to its own cultural roots and
traditions? How is Russia different from the West? How is Russia to be
integrated with the West?
Those questions existed in Russia long before the Bolshevik Revolution and I
think, in my own view, most of the 20th century for Russia has been almost lost
time; they went down this terribly wrong road during the Soviet period, where
many achievements obviously were made. Huge human costs were paid and
ultimately, at the end of the century, they're dealing with most of the same
questions that they faced at the beginning of the century.
So, I think the 21st century for Russia is going to be trying to really deal
with some of the problems that never got settled in the 20th.
I think Russia is definitely on the way to being a normal market economy and
democracy. These 15 years of transition are not yet finished, so we have
another 5-10 years of transition. But it's clearly in the right direction, and
now nobody believes that there can be a u-turn, so this is a positive thing.
He is a former Russian Finance Minister (1993-1994).
It's clear that in Russia, despite all these scandals and ugly things, there is
different type of life where people have their own houses and flats, where a
lot of businesses basically thrive, where people drink more and more mineral
water and less vodka--which is also a good sign--where lots of people try to
get education outside the country. ...Now you have hundreds and hundreds of
young people going around Moscow in the job market with CVs full of very
interesting credentials, and thousands of children and young people are now
starting in the West.
It's clear that there are lots of signs that what we see in the official
statistics or IMF statistics is just the pinnacle of the iceberg . Russia is
much bigger, and its economy is much richer than people suspect ...
...Slowly these market forces are finding their way. People are building
houses. People are creating businesses. People are thinking differently, and
demographics work in this way. That's way I'm moderately optimistic
medium-term, because definitely we go more or less in the right direction. The
question is the pace. The question is the cost. The question is the price
that the older people who cannot adapt themselves to the new situation pay.
And that's not very nice, definitely.
And I think that obviously Russia faces quite a nice future in the 21st
century. 20th century was not our century. We had only all these wars, civil
wars, revolutions, purges, collectivizations, scandals, corruption. Probably
this century will be the century of Russia, and I don't believe all these
dismal predictions that Russia will never get out of it, because it's
absolutely clear that our country can rejuvenate itself, regenerate, even with
the losses of millions of people who died with that century or emigrated. We
feel that there is new life coming, and if we were more civilized and do thing
better, probably more people would see it.
It is clear that people don't like many things that happen in Russia. People
probably hate a lot of them. But still they don't want to go back to the old
communist system. And with all their disillusions, they will be criticizing
government, they will be criticizing the president, but they don't think that
the basic direction is wrong. That's my opinion.
What are your biggest concerns?
He is U.S. Deputy Secretary of State and has specialized in Russia affairs in
both his government and journalism careers.
Well, for one thing, democracy in and of itself, which is to say, the
institutions of election, doesn't guarantee that it's always going to produce
leaders who will take a country in a constructive direction, in this case, one
that the United States would support. You can have what's sometimes called
illiberal democracy; that is, democratic elections that produce leaders who do
things that are dangerous for the world, and bad for their own people. And it
would be wildly premature to be complacent about what will happen to Russia
over the long haul.
There's also, of course, the haunting and deeply disturbing issue of Chechnya,
which figures not only in Boris Yeltsin's last year in the Presidency, but also
mid-term, as it were, in the '94 to '96 period. Chechnya has brought some of
the worst features of the Russian past, and the Russian political habits. Most
notably the tendency that kind of ran amuck during the Soviet period to
categorize entire groups of people as enemies, enemies of the state.
That is a part of the curse of the 20th century for Russia in its Soviet
period, and it's been part of what's come back in Chechnya. And President
Yeltsin bears a lot of responsibility for that, in both of the Chechnyan wars
that he oversaw.
We are going backwards right now. We are not valuing freedom, we don't value
the open window. We value the closed door of order. We are paying for the
original sins of Yeltsin and the democrats--and our own hopes.
The author of Yeltsin's Russia: Myths and Reality, she is senior
associate in the Carnegie Endowment's Russian and Eurasian Program, and a
former deputy director of the Moscow Institute of International Economic and
Political Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
... Not only is Yeltsin gone--practically nobody talks about him anymore-- we
are saying goodbye to a whole generation of political leaders, politicians who
had hope. ... The next generation grew up during the Gorbachev and the early
Yeltsin period. They are not romantics; they are realists. They have already
lived through the financial collapse of 1998. They know what the West is all
about, no illusions there. They know all about Russia: corruption, gangs,
criminality, how politicians can be bought. They have no illusions. They are
not romantics, and they won't be romantics. They are brusque, aggressive,
dynamic people. They will definitely make fewer mistakes, but there is one
problem. Very many of them are encountering Chechnya now, very many of them
are enduring this period of disappointment, frustration, lack of belief in
anything, a period of cynicism.
And we don't know how this generation will emerge from the fire of cynicism
and violence. They could be people without constraints, free people, who would
begin building Russia from the ground up, discarding the autocracy, checking it
into a closet. On the other hand, they could get imbued with new constraints,
new disgraces, with a desire to get even with the complacency of the West, with
its double standard. Who will prevail among them? People full of hatred? Or,
free, pragmatic ones, cynical but at the same time willing to live life
according to the rules that are the same for everybody. This is a big
And Chechnya--you have an even deeper fear about what this could do to
I am afraid that Chechnya, instead of curing our complexes, restoring our
honor, instead of helping us become valuable, accomplished citizens, Chechnya
will bring even more bitterness, fears, disappointment, a new inferiority
complex, because Chechnya is to last for a long time. And a new desire to get
even. But with whom then?
Chechnya is Russia's tragedy. It is a tragedy because in 1996, seventy percent
of the Russian people were against the war. Today, in 2000, seventy percent
support the war. How we have changed during these years! How angry and
limited we have become! How afraid we are of the future! And, again, we want
to build a country based on force. We want to be feared--not loved, but
feared. This is what I call the syndrome of the past, return to the past.
Maybe it is temporary. But for every return to the past we pay a price. Now
we are paying with blood.
...Russia has deteriorated. I'm not sure if a Westerner can understand the
degradation of a country. It's deteriorated both politically and socially. Not
because in the past we boasted some ideals and a spiritual life, and then the
country opened and the West, which has no spirituality, pushed its phony values
down our throats. That's what our "patriots" love to say. The reason for this
degradation is that the leaders were pursuing their own interests instead of
educating the people. Everything has been destroyed. The education system,
culture, absolutely everything.
He was Boris Yeltsin's press secretary from 1991-1993 and was a journalist
with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
... If I were to project what kind of country Russia will be for the next ten
years, I'd say it would be a pseudo-democratic state. An authoritarian country
with a controlled parliament and an intimidated population. A country in which
agencies like the KGB will be on the rise, where the military will enjoy an
elevated status, a country that will continue to play this game: on the one
hand, we want to be friends with the West, on the other - we are this unique
nation, historically unique and different from the West.
Ordinary Westerners will always be confused--is Russia a friend or is it an
enemy? That's what we are going to live through. The Versaille syndrome. The
same old thing. There is nothing new happening in Russia. Russia is going
through what other nations --big and small--have gone through after a time of
upheaval. Back then, it was defeat in war, but in Russia it was defeat in
domestic politics, which, in Russia's case, was just like a war.
I see Russia is becoming a strange country. On the one hand, you see a
democratic country where we have a parliamentary system and our deputies have a
say, we have an elected president. But all of this is only a symbol of
democracy. Society itself is not free, its spirit is not free. There is no
ROGINSKY: . . . You see, we are painting everything in dark and morbid
colors. And if we are to answer your questions precisely, this is indeed what
we should be doing. But I am full of optimism. It's the most important thing.
We live in a country that is completely different from the one where we first
met. Today, there are young people who have learned foreign languages , and
they are persistent about learning foreign languages. They don't want to go to
war, they want to do science, business, you name it.
... None of them wants the Iron Curtain back. There are many young people
with this mindset now, lots of them. They are completely different. They are
not very active politically because they've had freedom. If they ever face
losing it, they will become politically active. This is our hope. Thousands and
thousands of grassroots organizations have sprung up around the country over
the past years. Our government doesn't listen very much to grassroots
organizations, but these organizations got the government used to the idea that
they exist. They are the beginnings of civil society in Russia. This is
extremely important, because we didn't have civil society before.. . . Our
'Memorial' is active in 65 regions. They exist in one form or another, engaging
in arguments and disputes with the government. People organize themselves in
the face of various dangers. This gives us grounds for optimism. They have some
influence in the cities.
So, despite the fact that the general trend is going in an unfavorable
direction and the situation is dangerous and alarming, if we look forward a bit
then everything will turn out ok, because we have a new generation of people
and they won't allow this country to turn back, or they won't allow it to
become distorted. You understand? I believe in this, I absolutely believe in
KOVALEV: I agree with Arseny. I only want to give a brief quote from a poem,
"it's a pity we won't be able to live in this wonderful time".
ROGINSKY: This is not true.
KOVALEV: We live in a different country, you are right. But, I would put it
like this: "I'll remain a dark pessimist for the next four-five years but in
10-15 years when Russia becomes a civilized country -- and there's no way
around it -- I won't be around."
ROGINSKY: You'll be around.

[Advaita-l] The Enlightened Eminently Engage in Empirical Endeavors - Part 2
v.subrahmanian at gmail.com
Wed Mar 3 03:39:36 CST 2010
Here is the second part of the article. I noticed that posting the rest of
the article as Part 2 exceeded the prescribed limit unduly. Hence I am
making a third part too to conclude the article.
EMPIRICAL ENGAGEMENTS BY THE ENLIGHTENED IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT
We have incontrovertible evidence from the following sources for the fact of
the Enlightened (jnani) engaging in the empirical transactions with a
3. Sutra (brahmasutra)
6. Logic (yukti)
7. Experience (anubhava)
We shall consider some instances from these:
· The Taittiriya Upanishad teaches that the Source from which all
these beings have emerged, their ground of sustenance and the abode into
which these lapse in dissolution is Brahman. Brahman is the Creator,
Sustainer and Destroyer of the world. Surely, this is the highest order of
empirical engagement. And this is Brahman’s function. None can question
Brahman’s Enlightened status. Shankara establishes in Brihadaranyaka Up.
1.4.10 where occurs the famous Mahavakya ‘aham Brahma asmi’ that it is
Brahman that ‘acquires’ this realization and thereupon attains the Universal
· In the Vishnu sahasranama, a collection of a thousand names of Lord
Vishnu, there occurs a name ‘Brahmavit’, ‘Knower of Brahman’. Lord Vishnu
is admitted to be the Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer of the universe.
· Shankara addresses Lord Shiva in the ShivAnanda Lahari as ‘Adi
KuTumbiNe’ meaning ‘Oh Foremost Family-man!’. Surely none can question the
enlightenment of Lord Shiva.
· One might object: These are all mere scriptural statements. Who
has seen the Creator Lord with a BMI? The reply is found in the Bhagavad
Gita. Arjuna had the greatest good fortune of beholding the Lord both in
His individual, localized BMI form and also in His Universal BMI Form. Ch.
11.45,46 are proof for this. Brahman, as Lord Krishna was born from a
womb, grew up eating, played with the cowherdesses, fought wars, was injured
and finally left His mortal body. All this was possible only because He had
a localized, but highly powerful BMI.
· In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad there is the AjAtashatru BrAhmaNam
(II.i). AjAtashatru, a Kshatriya, a Jnani, is the King. He is approached
by a Brahmana named BAlAki, a conceited one, priding himself with an assumed
Brahman-Knowledge. He visits the King and offers to teach him Atma vidya
and only ends up as the King AjAtashatru’s disciple. In the course of the
discourse between them AjAtashatru holds Baalaaki by hand and leads him to a
sleeping man for conducting some experiments. This episode in the Upanishad
proves that : the Jnani Ajaatashatru had a body, could be a King engaged in
empirical duties, had a hand, had eyes, ears, a mouth to talk to Baalaaki
and a mind to process the info. received from B and to reply to B. He had
legs to walk to the sleeping man, etc. By implication, this Jnani had a
stomach which he filled now and then to stay alive. He had prAna too, so
that he could be alive.
· In the same Upanishad we have Sage Yajnavalkya, a Jnani who taught
King Janaka who also became a Jnani owing to the teaching. Y was a
householder, was extremely wealthy and had two wives named KatyAyani and
Maitreyi. Some of the finest teachings on Atman emerged from his discourse
with Maitreyi. This episode also proves that a Jnani has a localized BMI
and operates through that equipment. Y and J undoubtedly enlightened ones,
did engage in empirical transactions.
· King Janaka becomes enlightened by the teaching of Y. Y makes the
famous statement: ‘abhayam vai janaka prAptosi’ (O Jananka, you have
attained Fearlessness). Soon after this statement, J replies to Y offering,
nay keeping the entirety of his Kingly possessions at the feet of Y for his
own use. This shows that a Jnani, Janaka, can and will respond to a name
even after realization. He will not turn a deaf ear to names addressed to
him just because of his realization of the All-pervading, nirguNa Brahman as
his very self.
· This also shows that a BMI for a Jnani is not projected by the
ajnanis. Sage Yajnavalkya was Himself a Jnani. He addressed and conversed
with Janaka even after Janaka was enlightened.
· In the Valmiki Ramayana there is an occasion when Rama declares:
‘AtmAnam mAnuSham manye rAmam dasharatAtmajam’ [I regard myself a human
named Rama, the son of Dasharatha ] Despite the Lord declaring Himself, in
all His humility, to be a mere human, with a name and an identity relating
Himself as a son of …., does it in any way affect the Supremely Realized
status of the Lord?
· In the Chandogya Upanishad we have the episode of UddAlaka, a
father, a Jnani, discoursing with Shvetaketu, his son. The famous ‘Tat tvam
asi’ teaching is a result of this discourse. Evidently Uddalaka engaged in
empirical duties and had a localized BMI. Shvetaketu too became a Jnani, as
per the Upanishad.
· In this very Upanishad we have the Narada and Sanatkumara
discourse. Sanatkumara is a Jnani approached by Narada. S, over a long
dialogue gives out the teaching to Narada. Evidently, Sanatkumara had a
BMI, ears, mouth, mind, etc.
· In the Taittiriya Upanishad we have the father VaruNa, a Jnani,
teaching his son Bhrigu, the Self-knowledge. Again, V should have had a
localized BMI, in order to successfully communicate with his son, who
became a Jnani.
· Bhrigu, sings in great joy, the Eureka, in the words ‘Aham annam,
aham annam, aham annam..’ expressing his attainment of Atman
he must have had a mouth, vocal cords, mind, prana, etc. to be alive to give
expression to it after attaining Jnana.
· In the Kathopanishad, the Acharya is none other than Lord Yama, the
Lord of Death. He imparts Self-knowledge to Nachiketas. Yama, the Jnani,
is engaged in the busiest empirical duty, of administering death to the
multitudes of beings! The Upanishad speaks of a dialogue between Yama and
Nachiketas. Initially, Yama, offers the traditional worship to the visitor
Nachiketas, in all humility, by washing Nachiketas’ feet. Yama is asked
to do this by his women folk. In the course of the teaching, in
appreciation of Nachiketas’ sharp intellect, Yama gifts him an ornament of
high value, from what He himself is wearing. All these events show that
Yama, the Enlightened, had a body, hands, eyes, mouth, a virtue-filled mind,
We shall take up the Smriti evidence for the Jnani’s engaging in empirical
· The Gita is replete with the proof of the Jnani having a localized
BMI. For instance, in the 3rd ch. Krishna teaches that a Jnani should not
unsettle the ignorant people who are wedded to karma alone (3.25, 26). He
says the Jnani should be a role-model to the ignorant ones *by devoutly
engaging himself* in the scripturally ordained karma, of course, with the
full realization that he is not the doer.
· In 3.20 He says: Janaka, etc. were engaged in Karma. So you too,
Arjuna, do not give up karma. Shankara comments: The wise (Jnani)
Kshatriyas of old, such as Janaka and Ashvapati tried by action alone to
· In 3.24/25 Shankara comments: Suppose, you or any other man thinks
that he has achieved his ends and has realized the Self, *even he should
work for the welfare of others*, though for himself he may have nothing to
· In 3.22 the Blessed Lord shows Himself as an example. Says He: I
have nothing whatsoever to achieve in the three worlds…. yet I engage in
· In verse 2.55, 56 we have the depiction of a Man of Steady
Knowledge: He has a mind that is not tormented by misery, not elated in joy,
etc. ‘duHkeShu anudvigna manaaH’. This shows that the Enlightened has a
mind. Only when there is the possibility of misery, joy, etc. occurring,
can there be the question of not being affected by them. Another word here
is: manOgatAn kAmAn, that is he rids the mind of all the desires. This also
shows that the Jnani has a mind. And it is a localized one. How do we
assert this? When a Jnani rids his mind of desires, other ajnAni’s do not
experience that their minds are also rid of desires. This is proof of the
localized state of the Jnani’s mind.
· BG 2.61 says that he whose sense organs are controlled is a
sthitaprajna. This shows that the Enlightened one has sense organs,
indriyas. And these are essentially localized. Proof? When his sense
organs are controlled, the other ajnanis who have not done that do not
experience the benefit of calm.
· BG 6.20 uses a word ‘sthira buddhiH’ showing that the Jnani has an
intellect that is firm. This is also essentially localized. Proof? When he
has a firm intellect, the ajnanins who have not a firm intellect do not
experience the Steadiness of Knowledge.
· BG 6.22 says: ‘When having obtained It (the Knowledge of Self), he
thinks no other acquisition superior to It; when, therein established, he is
not moved even by a great pain.’ Shankara comments: Pain: such as may be
caused by a sword-cut, etc. This shows that the Jnani has a physical
A sword-cut can be inflicted only on a physical body. And this is
essentially localized. For, when the Jnani gets a sword-cut, as for example
when Ramana was hit by the thieves, the others around do not experience the
The above instances prove to us that a Jnani has a localized Body, sense
organs, mind and intellect and works in the world without any attachment.
There is the instance of a Jnani, Dharma VyAdha, described in the
Mahabharata. He was a butcher. Certainly, a butcher’s job is an empirical
engagement. He too must have had a physical body, hands to cut the animal
flesh, a mind to sell the meat and take the money, etc. All these must have
been localized ones only. He had parents whom he served with great
devotion. When he was engaged as a butcher, certainly his parents did not
experience that they were also cutting the meat, etc. This shows that that
Jnani’s BMI was localized.
Let us see some instances of the Enlightened one’s empirical engagements as
mentioned in the Brahma sutras:
The sutra ‘yAvadadhikAram avasthitiH…’ (3.3.32) says: For liberated beings
with a mission, there is corporeal existence as long as the mission demands
it. One could read the commentary to get more details.
Sutra 4.1.19 says: ‘But exhausting the other two through experiencing them
one merges in Brahman.’ Shankara says: *That the dualistic vision lasts
before the fall of the body *(for the enlightened person) is because of the
need of exhausting the remaining portion of the prArabdha through
experience. But after death there is no such dualistic vision.
This shows that the enlightened one will continue in the BMI, localized,
experiencing the fruit of the prArabdha. He will continue to experience
duality (although with the firm realization of its unreality) till the fall
of the body. This quote from Shankara also teaches us that the Jnani has the
Unified Vision of the Self and also the dualistic vision to carry on the
empirical engagements. That both these diametrically opposed visions exist
in him without contradicting each other is the beauty of Jivanmukti.
A doubt: Has not Shankara declared in the First chapter of the Brahmasutra
commentary that all duality will end immediately upon the dawn of Brahman
knowledge? Has he forgotten that while making the statement of continuing of
duality for the Jnani till death?
Reply: No. What Shankara has stated in the earlier part of Brahmasutra
commentary is only the conviction that arises in the Jnani’s mind about the
unreality of the dualistic world. This conviction does not mean the
disappearance of duality. Hence, there is no contradiction in Shankara’s
Did Acharya Shankara, admitted to be an Enlightened One, have a localized
We get the answer to this from His own words. In the Taittiriya Upanishad
Bhashyam (II.8) we come across a very rare instance of Shankara referring to
Himself in the first person singular. All over the commentary literature He
refers to Himself, the Advaitin, as ‘we shall refute it, we shall consider
it’ etc. But in this rare instance He says:
//Objection: Because there are many opponents. You are a monist, since you
follow the Vedic ideas, while the dualists are many who are outside the
Vedic pale and who are opposed to you. Therefore I apprehend that you will
not be able to determine.
Reply: *This itself is a blessing for Me that you brand Me as sworn to
monism and faced by many who are wedded to plurality. Therefore I shall
conquer all! And so I begin the discussion.// His original words are even
more striking: ‘Yetad eva Mey svasti ayanam. Ato jEShyAmi sarvAn! Arabhe
What is the proof for Shankara’s BMI to be a localized one? When He said ‘I
shall conquer all’, the others did not experience that same feeling in
their minds: ‘I shall conquer all’. This shows that Shankara’s intellect as
a commentator was subject to Him alone and did not pervade all others in the
universe. In this instance, from His own words we conclude that the Jnani
has an ego too.
Here is another instance, a glaring one, where the Acharya uses the first
न लौकिकैर्गृह्यमाणमुपलभ्य अहं विवेकतोऽर्थनिर्धारणार्थं संक्षेपतो विवरणं
करिष्यामि ।...अतस्दद्विवरणे यत्नः क्रियते मया ।
The above is found in His introduction to the Bhagavadgita Bhaashyam. He
says:' ..I have found that to the laity it appears to teadh diverse and
quite contradictory doctrines. I propose, therefore, to write a brief
commentary with a view to determine its precise meaning. .....Hence an
attempt is made by Me to explain it.' //
(To be continued and concluded in Part 3)

India's government and media are arguing over whether a minister tried to make students come to school on Christmas Day. Controversy continues over coerced mass conversions. It is a time of deep insecurity for religious minorities.
Saeed and Sakil Dawood were friendly, sports-loving Yorkshiremen on holiday in India, returning from a trip to the Taj Mahal. 73-year-old Ehsan Jafri, a former trade unionist and MP, lived in Ahmedabad. When horrific violence engulfed Gujarat in 2002, they were among those brutally murdered.
Sri Lankan government minister GL Peiris has tried to justify a wave of attacks on churches and mosques, claiming that these were simply community reactions to unauthorised facilities. The state’s refusal to protect religious minorities further undermines human rights in Sri Lanka overall.
In Ekklesia's news briefing service, we reported this week on renewed calls for an end to serious violations of human rights against religious minorities in Pakistan occasioned by the country's notorious blasphemy law (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/19653).

This is the year of evaluations for teachers- particularly in Tennessee! I will have SIX evaluations this year! Whew!
We are getting the EnVision Math series and I still don't have a teacher's manual! However, I do know the academic vocabulary for first grade already, and I'd like to share that with you. I'm also including science because many of those terms overlap with math and are included in this dictionary.
Academic Vocabulary for First Grade- Math
bar type graph
As I look over those words, I think- Wow! Some of these are really complicated! How do I get my little first graders to understand these terms?
Who am I? Game
An easy game to play with any vocabulary words is "Who am I?". Each student has a foam strip with a velcro dot on their forehead (elastic holds either side of the foam- like a hat). The teacher attaches a secret vocabulary words to the velcro. Students can ask each other ONLY yes or no questions. A student can only be asked 3 questions before they have to move on to a different student. A word bank could be supplied on the board. Great activity with math vocabulary!
Graffiti Wall & Carousal
*Great introduction activity!!!
With this activity, post a sheets of chart board paper all over the room with one vocabulary word written on it (a different word at each sheet). I would probably have 5 words posted and break my student up into groups of four. Have them count off 1-4 and then the ones go stand at this poster, the twos back there.....
Anyway, give each group 1 marker (each group has a different color) and that travels with them. Start the timer and have them write or draw what they think the definition or examples would be. Then rotate around the room (carousal). Here is an example:
ABC Vocabulary Book
First you could have your students brainstorm all the (math) vocabulary words they could think of that start with each letter of the alphabet. Next, as a workstation, the students could create a page for their letter. Here is an example:
Line2: Two adjectives
Line 3: Three -ing words
Line 4: A phrase
Line 5: Another word for the noun
Here is my example for the word "Fraction." The format we used didn't have the -ing words. Also, the fifth line should read "Fractions let us share"
Tagxedo & Wordle
A high tech option is to create a wordle or tagxedo with vocabulary words.
You could have a parent volunteer type in the words the students created to come up with a Tagxedo like the star below.
Glogster is a multimedia poster online. It's basically a poster that can incorporate movies, audio, and interactive images. This could be a great idea for older kids to demonstrate a concept! I've seen it done with firsties, too- but it's alot more complicated! You can sign up for a free educator account or view the best glogs around.
Math Dictionary For Kids
So, if you need a great book to reinforce academic vocabulary for math, this is it!
The book includes kid-friendly terms. Examples:
Decrease- To make less (smaller)
Difference- The answer to a subtraction problem. Example: 7-5=2 2 is the difference between the numbers.
Many problems also have great pictures to explain in more depth. This particular dictionary breaks it up into these sections: Whole numbers and operation, measurement, algebraic ideas, geometry, decimals, fractions, percents, and ratios, quick reference guide; learning with manipulatives (Great teacher resource section!!!); Tables and charts; measurement conversion tables; basic math tools and equipment and an index. This book would be an excellent addition to any teacher's library and is also a great homework helper for older students (3rd grade and up). I would highly recommend this book for any teacher!
If you would like a copy of Math Dictionary For Kids, you can use the code MATH25 at checkout to receive a 25% discount exclusive to the followers of this blog! :)
What vocabulary strategies do YOU use in the classroom?

When Emmy winner Christine Baranski lost her husband of over 30 years, actor Matthew Cowles, in May 2014, she was devastated.
“It’s been a tough year,” Baranski said less than seven months after his passing at the premiere of Into the Woods. “I lost extraordinary people in my life, but I have a beautiful grandson, my wonderful ‘Good Wife’ colleagues and the beautiful people associated with the film here tonight,” she told Variety.
Best remembered for his villainous roles as well as his work on the soap opera All My Children, Matthew Cowles’ death at only 69 years old was unexpected; his cause of death is listed as congestive heart failure. Now, almost three years later, Baranski, 64, opened up about how her life has changed.
“I’m always shifting my weight and trying to figure out how to keep my balance,” she told Parade.com. “My entire life has been about having a really active career, children and marriage—now my daughters are grown up, I’m a grandmother and I have another major job. Sometimes one aspect of your life requires more attention than another.”
Another key takeaway? Healing takes time. “A few months after Matthew passed away I had to be back in front of a camera, but it helped to be with my community of people. They all knew and loved me, so going back to work was good. “
Baranski continues to work; this month her new series, The Good Fight, a spin-off of the hit TV series The Good Wife, premieres on CBS. She also recently had a role in the animated film Trolls with Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani.
Matthew Cowles and Christine Baranski’s love story
In a 2011 interview with the New York Times, Baranski revealed that she met her future husband in 1982 when they both were cast in a Henrik Ibsen play in Long Island. Cowles, then a “shaggy blond-haired guy who smoked unfiltered Mexican cigarette,” asked Baranski if she wanted a ride home on his motorcycle, and, well, the rest is history. Baranski married Cowles, “the black sheep member of a family with ties to Cowles publishing and Drexel banking,” in 1983.
The couple moved to Litchfield, CT, where Cowles’ family owned a homestead, so the two could raise their daughters. Still a working mom, Baranski commuted to Los Angeles so she could continue her role as Maryann on Cybill. Cowles stayed home to watch the two young girls, Lily and Isabel, who are grown with families of their own.
Christine Baranski today
With struggles and age comes wisdom, and for Baranski, the most important thing now is to remain centered, although she does support occasionally treating yourself!
“Many of us are overwhelmed and feeling as though the world isn’t a safe place. We have to figure out how we can work towards a common good, whether it’s helping children or the environment or working in a soup kitchen.”
On a lighter note, are you wondering how the mother of two indulges? “The other night I had a big old nasty hamburger. Go ahead and have a few glasses of wine, a martini or a chocolate dessert. Drop your shoulders down and enjoy life.”
We second that!

She now follows a gluten-free diet.

Lady Gaga: Lupus
In 2010, Gaga told Larry King she was diagnosed with "borderline lupus."

The tennis star had to withdraw from the US Open in 2011 after being diagnosed with the disorder, which is a disease that attacks the cells that produce saliva.
“The fatigue is hard to explain unless you have it,” Williams said. “Some mornings I feel really sick, like when you don’t get a lot of sleep or you have a flu or cold. I always have some level of tiredness. And the more I tried to push through it, the tougher it got.”
She still battles with the disease.
Halle Berry Health
Halle Berry: Diabetes
The actress was diagnosed back in 1989 after she passed out and slipped into a coma during a taping of a TV show. "They told me I might lose my eyesight, or I could lose my legs," she said. "I was scared to death. I thought I was going to die."
Kim Kardashian Health
Kim Kardashian: Psoriasis
After finding flakey, red patches on her legs in 2011, she went to a dermatologist who diagnosed her with the skin condition on an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

After disappearing from the music world, the rapper reemerged in 2015 and blamed her absence on a rare thyroid disease. "It causes hair loss, your eyes bulge,” Elliott said. “My blood pressure was always up from just overworking.”
Thanks to medication, Missy has the condition under control.

Visa rang in as the runner up in PYMNTS.com’s inaugural Payment Innovation Index, which looks at the number of payment innovation patents granted to the company, the number of acquisitions and investments made in cutting-edge payment companies, media coverage identifying the company as an innovator in payments and a survey of 2,000 payment industry professionals.
“The result is the most sophisticated, comprehensive, consistent, and defensible quantitative assessment of innovation that our industry has ever seen,” the organization said of the index.
And, as the study authors themselves noted, Visa’s No. 2 ranking is very close to Apple’s No. 1 spot. “Visa comes in second, but the difference between No. 1 and No. 2 is extraordinarily close. In fact, it’s so close that we would say that Apple and Visa are in a statistical dead heat for the No. 1 spot.”
Visa’s EVP of Technology Rajat Taneja gave the keynote address at The Innovation Project 2015, an invite-only event that serves as a forum for exchanging ideas in the commerce space. Taneja talked about how Visa is always working to evolve its technologies and approaches to payments while upholding its dedication to security.
For the past 50 years, Visa has always looked ahead while striving to stay ahead of the payments curve. For the next 50 years, we’ll continue to do the same.

Technology in the Cosmic Era can become corrupted and infested. When this happens to a mecha, the result in codenamed a Hekatonkheire.
With many legends and myths attributed to it, the Shield of St. John was wielded by the Prophet and bears the curse of fame for bearing holy magic. However, the only benefit the Shield could bestow upon the wielder is psychological.
Blurring the line between exoskeletons and cybernetic augments, the D9 is unfavorably comparable to the Chemical Augmentation System.

The nations of the Kolm surpasses all other barbarians in their wilderness of life. Thoug they do just bear the likeness of men, of a very ugly pattern, they are so little advanced in civilization that they make no use of fire, nor any kind of relish, in the preparation of their food, but feed upon the roots which they find in the fields, and the half-raw flesh of any sort of animal. I say half-raw, because they give it a kind of cooking by placing it between their own thighs and the back of their horses. They fight in no regular order of battle but by being extremely swift and sudden in their movements, they disperse, and hen rapidly come toghether in loose array. They spread havoc over the vast plains and flying over the ramparts, they pillage the camp of their enemy almost before he has become aware of their approach. They are the most terrible warriors for when in close combat with swords and flails they fight without regard to their own safety, and while their enemy is intent upon parrying the thrust of the swords, they will entangle him with their chains so that he loses all power of walking or riding.
Excerpt from "The peoples of the world" By Taklamarian court-scholar Guliman Amon.

Australia's publicly funded science agency, the CSIRO, has also been roundly criticised for attaching its name to the Total Wellbeing Diet, which has become the fastest-selling Australian title to date. The book, funded by the Australian meat and livestock industry, has already sold 550,000 copies in Australia and more than 100,000 in Britain and New Zealand.
The low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet, conceived by Manny Noakes and Peter Clifton from CSIRO Human Nutrition in Adelaide, claims to offer a "scientifically proven" programme that "challenges old conventions and theories".
But Nature said the success of the book was irritating some scientists. The way the diet was marketed as scientifically proven was "decidedly unsavoury".
The controversy lies in the book's emphasis on eating lean red meat. Patrick Holford, from the Surrey-based Institute for Optimum Nutrition, told Nature he thought the diet was dangerous in the long term and could result in higher levels of breast and prostate cancer, along with stressed kidneys and reduced bone mass.
But Dr Oakes said she had been more surprised by the book's success than the animosity it had generated. "It was always going to be contentious. Nutrition is an emotional issue and there are lots of preconceptions. If the diet was about promoting a bunch of beans and vegetables, no one would have blinked."
The book has already made more than A$1m (£420,000) in royalties for the CSIRO.

My boyfriend is a Capt with the fire dept. He lived on his own before we were together. One day his guys at work kept looking at him funny and often.
My BF finally got aggravated and said "What is it?"
His guys asked " Ummm Capt' why are you wearing pink socks and a pink Tshirt?".
My boyfriends said " What? Why did you tell me this before? I thought you knew I was colorblind!!
His guys laughed and said " Oh, well, by the way your new sunglasses are pink too."
My poor boyfriend. He truly is colorblind. He had washed something red with his white clothing and couldn't tell that the whites turned pink. He told me this story and I laughed so much and had to love him for the nonchalant way he deals with it.
Angelsweets2, Have we made you laugh at all yet?!?!!?! LAUGH!... Please laugh.. please.. with a cherry on top?
LAUGH! LAUGH! LAUGH! Dang, this girl must be pretty darn serious to not laugh yet.

Three men were stranded at a hotel on an island. they were standing in front of the empty pool when a genie came by. the genie told them that if they jumped into the pool, he would grant them a wish. so the first man, who was an Indian governor, wished he was home and had a lot of money. then the second man, who was a chinese minister, wished he was home with a new house filled with money. when they were gone, George W. Bush runs, stubs his toe, and shouts, "****!" And he landed in a nice soft pile of steamy brown...
three men were in an airplane. an indian minister, a chinese minister, and george bush. they passed over india, and the indian minister threw a stick out the window and said, "for my country". then they passed over china and the chinese minister threw a rock out the window, and said, "for my country". then, they passed over america, and bush threw a bomb out the window and said "for my country". so, they went back to india, where they saw a little boy crying. they asked him why, and he said, "a stick fell out of te sky and hit me on the head." then they went to china, where they saw a little girl crying. they asked her why, and she said, "a rock fell out of the sky and hit me on the head." so then they went to america, where they saw a boy laughing. they asked why, and he said, "I farted, and grandpa's house blew up!"
One day two redheads went hunting. They had been sitting in camouflage with their guns in two trees. Just as one redhead was about to shoot a buck grazing at the base of his tree the other one fell out and scared it away. The redhead on the ground was motionless as his companion came to his side and turned him over.His eyes were rolled back in his head and he wasn't breathing. So, the redhead pulled out his cell phone and called 911. An operator answered his call:
"What's your emergency?"
"My huntin' buddy just fell out of a tree and ain't breathin'!"
"Calm down, sir. First, makes sure he's dead."
There was a bang and the redhead said "Yes, he's dead."

Boutique Interior Design Ideas
Every boutique has its own style and uniqueness when it comes to designing the interiors. Many boutique owners end up decorating the interiors by themselves but eventually many factors need to be taken into consideration, for example the interiors must be space-savvy, visually appealing, color palettes, effective lighting facility, security, furniture, and so much more.
Hiring an interior designer makes this job a whole lot easier! Here are some simple ways that we can do to beautify your boutique.
Simple But Effective Boutique Store Design Tips
- Aesthetic wall/ room – one thing that really attracts customers is the aesthetic features of the space, and how instagramable spaces are trending where they can take pictures in your outfit and create a buzz about it online.
- The Mirror Effect – having too many mirrors in a boutique is no such thing!Every wall could have a mirror or even one good huge mirror does the trick. Even if you have a small boutique, adding mirrors in the entire store could create an illusion and make the space look larger.
- Light it up – if you want your products to be visible clearly, lighting matters a lot! Having ceiling lights or studio light or mirror lights can really add that oomph to your boutique. Your customer should leave with nothing but a wonderful experience.
- Music in the background – depending on what you are selling, choosing the right music in your store is also important.Your music playlist should vibe with the products you are selling or else the store can get pretty quite.
- Always de-clutter your space – if you have too many things displayed, it can get confusing for the customers. Display your special pieces and the rest can be stacked up neatly or displayed appropriately.
- Don’t be afraid to show off your branding – you could have your logo or slogans lit up on a wall, at the entrance or well spread neatly.There are many ways where you can use your brand colours and logos in your store.You can use – neon slogans, light signs, brand colours on your walls or packaging, or logo stickers or tags on products.

Dedicated: October 27, 1950
On a rainy day April 13, 1948, an enthusiastic group of students, faculty and staff left a convocation at which President Sam Marble had challenged them to build a badly needed dormitory, since there were no funds to have one built. With picks and shovels at hand, they began digging foundations in the mud.
The building was completed in 1950 with donated materials and volunteer labor. A bronze tablet in the front foyer records the names of those who helped. This was the first of a series of self-help projects undertaken during the Marble years. Marble can house about 70 women.
Marble Hall has laundry, kitchen and TV lounge facilities. Each student room is furnished with desks or study tables, chairs, beds, dressers, and wardrobe closets. Each student room also has telephone and basic cable TV hookups. Each floor has a communal bathroom.

Pole Member Profile: Mariah K.
This video to the left is Mariah attempting to incorporate two advanced move from a pole sit, which is NOT the most comfortable position in the word and she demonstrates beautiful control.
Our favorite part of this video is hearing the cheers of encouragement from students and instructor. The sense of community is a force to be reckoned with at Urban Aerial Fitness, it’s what we pride ourselves on. You take a class with us and your family. Period.
Do you ever wonder who is taking Pole Fitness classes at Urban Aerial Fitness? You don’t have to look like a Hustler in order to sign up for a class with us. Some of our members are opting for Pole Fitness classes instead of running a couple of miles each morning and we want you to get to know them.
Let us tell you about Mariah and how her journey led her to our pole room in Fountain Valley.
“I would’ve never imagined I’d be where I am today if it wasn’t for the amazing instructors and students at Urban Aerial Fitness.”
Mariah was born and raised in Wooster, Ohio. A quaint town where everyone knows everyone. She had dreams of moving to Southern California ever since she was 15 years old and one year ago she made those dreams come true, but it came with a price.
The only family Mariah had out in California was an Aunt and Uncle. Her days grew more lonely and she felt herself getting depressed. It was hard and got to her fast. She knew she needed to get out of the house and interact with others so she turned to Yelp and Google to find a solution.
She had always had an interest in taking a pole fitness class but never had the chance because where she’s from it wasn’t an option.
Now that she lived in Southern California it could be an option if she wanted it to be. And after getting sucked into the black hole known as YouTube via pole fitness routines and beginner move tutorials, she knew she wanted to give it a try even though she had no prior experience.
“I ended up stumbling upon Urban. I read some of the reviews and clicked through pictures, it was almost immediately that I thought, “yup, I’m hooked!”
Mariah didn’t want to go to the gym every day or run. She needed a workout that didn’t feel like one. She purchased an Intro Package and signed up for her first class straight away.
After completing her first class where she had felt so welcomed, insired, motivated, and that everyone in the room was on her team, she left the studio with a Pole Fitness membership at Urban.
Urban Aerial Fitness is a place where stress does not exist and achievement flows like water because every day in the air is a success”
Q: What do you like about pole?
M: What I like about pole is it’s a way for me to express my sexuality without having to do it in front of everyone, per say. You get a killer workout in but also feel empowered at the same time. It’s a win-win.
Q: What would you say to a new timer who is worried about the unknowns of Pole?
M: I would tell someone who’s new to Pole that it’s not easy but totally worth it. There will be painful parts, and don’t overthink it. Let the moves flow through you.

|Episode(s)||5.06 I Believe the Children Are Our Future|
Julia Wright, mother of Jesse Turner, was a virgin when she was possessed by a demon in July 1997 and became pregnant. Julia retained consciousness during much of the possession and remembers many of the horrible things the demon did using her body. However, she also gleaned the information that salt was a weakness of demons and, when the pain of labor was strong enough to drive the demon back, was able to perform an improvised exorcism on herself using road salt.
Julia thought about killing her child, suspecting that he might be evil, but instead gave him up for adoption. She has been living alone for over eight years.
She was found by Sam and Dean who made her aware of her son's well being. Julia thought them to be demons at first, but after testing them with rock salt she explained her pregnancy and the aftermath to them. After returning home the following evening she was attacked and possessed by the very demon that impregnated her with Jesse and was used by the demon to try and coerce the child into joining Lucifer's forces, only to be forcibly exorcised by the boy. Julia was returned to her home unharmed and the demon's fate is unknown, presumably sent to Hell.

Why a "Good Moral Person" Goes to Hell
In all of the religious pomp and rhetoric that has existed for centuries, it seems as though one simple undeniable truth has been lost, “People go to hell because of their sin.” This is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that, “People go to hell because of their sin.” So much has been made about the road to salvation, that the road to perdition (Mt. 7:15) has become lost in the shadows. “People go to hell because of their sin.” It is because this one simple truth has been lost or forgotten, “People go to hell because of their sin.”, that most in the secular and religious world believe that a “good moral person” will go to heaven, and that a good moral person will not go to hell. While many things could be as far away from the truth, nothing could be further.
Punishment is for those who do wrong. In a perfect world, only those who do wrong would be punished and none would escape justice. Our world, ruled by Satan (Eph. 2:2) and sinful men (Pro. 11:31), is not a perfect world. The New Heavens and Earth (II Pt. 3:13), ruled by the perfect God, is a world of perfection (Rev. 21:1-7). So here on the earth you may have the innocent who are punished where the guilty walk free, but such is not the case with heaven and hell. Here, injustice may reign supreme as we all know; but there, there is no such thing as injustice. God is just and perfect, and punishment is for those who do wrong (Dt. 32:4).
A child will not be in hell. A child is not guilty. A child does no wrong. A child is innocent of guilt. There are no children in hell. A child is not a good moral person… a child is an innocent soul. The reason a child would be in heaven (II Sam. 12:23) is not because they are a good moral person, but because they are an innocent soul. Jesus Christ tells us that we cannot see heaven unless we are like them (Mt. 18:3&10). Why? Because children are good moral people? Children cannot even comprehend true morality! No, it is because they are innocent souls (I Cor. 14:20) “People go to hell because of their sin.” Children do not go to hell. Not because they are good moral people… but because they have no sin. (I Jn. 3:4)
Good morals do not negate sin. Good morals do not take away sin. Good morals might help one to avoid sin, but good morals do not take away sin already committed. Jerry Sandusky is a convicted child molester. Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulted about a dozen innocent vulnerable children. Jerry Sandusky also started a charity that has been around for 30 years and helped over a million children. In comparison to a million, a dozen is rather negligible isn’t it? Yet who in their right (and just) mind would say, “Because Jerry Sandusky was a good moral person in helping a million children, he is therefore guiltless in molesting a few.” Could anything be more absurd? The “good moral” deeds he did, do not negate the “bad immoral” deeds that he did. What if it was only one child? What if it was only one child one time? Could all the good Jerry Sandusky did; then absolve him of the guilt of the bad? No perfect, righteous, just person could answer “Yes”.
“People go to hell because of their sin.” People don’t go to hell for the sin of others. They go to hell because of their own sin (Ez. 18:20-24). People are condemned to hell, not because of “sins” (the amount / quantity), they go to hell because of “sin” (the fact of it, the singularity). The person who has sinned a thousand times is guilty. The person who sins a hundred times is guilty. The person who has sinned just once… is guilty. (Rom. 3:10&23) “People go to hell because of their sin.” When we stand before a perfect, righteous, just judge in God (Ps. 7:11; II Tim. 4:8), those who are stained with sin will go to hell (Jer. 2:22; James 1:27). To believe, and or preach, that a “good moral person” will go to heaven is to preach salvation by works of boasting apart from the grace and love of God in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:8-9). If one’s good works apart from the gospel makes them worthy of heaven and absolves them of sin and guilt; then what is the need for Jesus? Furthermore, if one’s good works makes them worthy of heaven; what does their sin make them worthy of? (Rom. 6:23)
Cornelius is described as a devout and God-fearing man by the Lord (Acts 10:2, 31). What greater commendation of being a “good moral person” could one ask for than that?! Yet, this righteous man had a problem, and that problem was his sin. All the good moral righteous things he did were not enough to take away his sin, the guilt of his sin, the punishment of his sin… hell. So by the Lord’s grace Cornelius and his household heard the gospel message preached (Acts 11:14). What gospel message? The gospel message of salvation in Christ Jesus? Why is it of salvation? Because it takes away sin (Acts 10:43; Rom. 10:10; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19; etc.), and when sin is taken away then heaven can be in your future! When obedience to the gospel removes sin from one’s life, it takes away the penalty of sin as well, the eternal death, eternal separation from God, and eternal damnation in hell. (II Thess. 1:7-9)
The difference between those who are in heaven or hell is not sin. There will be sinners in heaven (I Tim. 1:15) just as there will be sinners in hell. The difference is the gospel. (Acts 22:16; I Cor. 6:9-11) The sinners who have accepted the gospel will be in heaven, and those who have rejected it will be in hell. (Luke 16:10-31) Why? Not because they rejected the gospel, but because by rejecting the gospel they were still lost in sin. (Jn 8:24; 8:31; 3:5) “People go to hell because of their sin.” Don’t forget that! The good moral person goes to hell; not because they haven’t done enough good moral stuff, but because of the sin in their life. The good moral person goes to hell: not because they haven’t done enough good moral stuff, but because they haven’t done the one good moral thing that actually matters… obey God. (Heb. 5:9; Ja. 1:12; Mk. 16:15-16) “People (even good moral people) go to hell because of their sin.” It is not mean, it is not harsh, it is not unjust, it is not uncaring or unloving… it is fact… it is truth… devoid of agenda or emotion and full of undeniable scriptural reality. Now obey the gospel NOW… so you won’t go to hell forever. (II Pt. 3:9-11)

READ: Exodus 19-20
THINK: I want to spend some time with the 10 commandments today, meditating on them, pondering them, and filling up our hearts with God’s great Decalogue. It is easy to read them quickly and give ourselves a pass by saying, “Hey, I’m good. I’ve never killed anybody” but Jesus made it clear that God’s heart in giving us the 10 commandments wasn’t about providing us with some very specific laws to follow according to the letter. It was to see our hearts transformed and aligned with his. So today, I’m going to ask 10 questions. Please take some time to really reflect on them and use this as a time of confession to God for the ways in which you have fallen short. Be honest with God about the condition of your heart over the course of the last few weeks (or months).
1. What things have I placed above God in my priority list and sought after more than I seek him?
2. What objects or possessions am I clinging to and finding my identity in?
3. In what ways have I minimized God lately and made far to little of him?
4. How has my schedule crowded God out of my daily life?
5. In what ways have I been disrespectful or disobedient to those whom God has placed in authority over me?
6. What sort of hateful and spiteful feelings toward another person have arisen in my heart?
7. How, when, and where has lust shown up in my thought patterns and what have I done about it?
8. What opportunities to be generous and selfless with my resources have I passed up?
9. How have I been untruthful in my words and actions, either through outright lies or intentionally allowing others to be mislead?
10. What things have I seen that caused me to obsess over getting them to the point that I was distracted?
If you’re like me, sadly, you have an answer to each and every one of these questions. Hopefully your answers led to a powerful time of confession. But please understand this: the point of confession is not to feel guilty and the point of confession is not to tell God something he doesn’t know so that he can finally forgive you for it. He knows and he has already forgiven because he bore our guilt. The point of confession is to change our hearts. To help us fully realize the gift of God’s grace that has been bestowed upon us, to help us fully repent and turn from our sin, and to help us grasp a vision for how we can move forward in a more healthy way than the way which brought us to the point of confession. The Bible isn’t an oppressive list of rules that are meant to be followed, it is an incredible gift that serves as an instruction manual for life as it was designed to be lived! Confess, accept God’s forgiveness, and then go out and follow these commandments because that is what you were designed to do. 🙂

Hey, you know that "Trump" guy everyone's talking about? Yeah, that one. The President-Elect. Well, I don't wanna sound like a Nervous-Nelly, but I'm startin' to feel a tad bit unsure of this fella.
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem!-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 28, 2016
It's not really one specific thing, I guess, just a couple little things that keep nagging at the back of my mind.
I mean, he won the Electoral College and he's due to be the leader of the free world, so I gotta imagine he's an okay character. It's just....well, hard to put my finger on it, but something ain't quite right.

In Memory of Walter H. Marx
Remembering Walter Marx
by Paul B. Gill
My earliest recollections of Walter Marx go back to first grade at the Mary E. Curley School. Walter and I tied for tallest kid in the class. In an era when pupils lined up by height for filing through the corridors, he and I always brought up the rear together.
Three years later, we rediscovered each other in fourth grade at the Agassiz. We enjoyed going to his house on Castleton Street after school and walking his dog, Tippy, at Jamaica Pond. Walter always found plenty to talk about during our excursions. Perhaps because each of us was an only-child, we thrived on the companionship.
One Saturday my mother invited him to join us for lunch. He sat at our kitchen table, articulately iterating one story after another about the fourth-grade experience. As part of his soliloquy, Walter revealed that I had had a serious dustup with the teacher a few days before. My secret was gone in a flash! How could he? I glanced at my mother, expecting the worst – but by then, Walter had gracefully moved on to his next vignette. My mother was so highly charmed by this loquacious and interesting nine-year-old that (fortunately for me) she all but forgot about my incident with the teacher.
Walter was an avid reader as a boy. He occasionally referred to his mother as “Marmee,” suggesting early familiarity with Louisa May Alcott’s writing. Through his reading he had become enamored of life in the nineteenth century. Walking home from sixth grade with him one afternoon, I commented on how lucky we were to be living in the age of automobiles and television. I looked back and found him frozen in place – horrified by my remark! He went on to explain why he would be much happier living in the elegance of the Victorian era. That fascination would stay with him for life.
Although I never remember Walter any way but slim, he was a boy who very much enjoyed food. He occasionally liked to try his hand in the kitchen. He had carefully observed his mother’s culinary efforts and had learned from them. One rainy afternoon when his parents were out, he baked a layer cake. I watched in amazement as he lifted each half from the pan intact and then artfully assembled and frosted his creation, of which we each sampled a generous and tasty slice.
Walter’s parents left distinct impressions on me. His mother (“Ellie”) enjoyed gardening as well as cooking, and I noticed that she undertook these endeavors quite seriously. Walter told me that she was born in Hamburg, Germany, and had come to the U.S. at the age of nineteen (c. 1930). In those early years she had apparently worked in the factory district of Jamaica Plain, alongside fellow German immigrants. By the 1950s she was employed as bookkeeper at Sherry Motors in West Roxbury. Before she left for work on summer-vacation days, she routinely assigned “Vahl-tuh” a set of household chores, which he always completed dutifully.
Walter Herman Marx Sr. was born in Massachusetts in 1906, the son of German immigrants. He grew up in Holyoke. In the 1950s, he was an insurance agent who often worked at home. The dining room table was covered with his documents, and he usually worked on them with a stubby cigar in one corner of his mouth. No one else was allowed near that table. It was a safe island for both his paperwork and his cigar fancy. I remember that he enjoyed verbally teasing us boys in a sarcastic but witty way.
On a Saturday morning in 1950, Walter and I (and fellow sixth-graders) appeared on the M-1 Safety Squad radio program. We kids had helped write the script, and our delivery was worse than silly. After the broadcast, as Walter and I approached the house on Castleton Street, we sighted the stocky frame of Mr. Marx up on the porch. He was grinning down at us, with his characteristic stubby cigar in place. “Oh, oh, I can tell he tuned in to the program,” whispered Walter, bracing himself for a sharp critique that would be heard all over the neighborhood. Mr. Marx removed the cigar and bellowed, “Hey, CBS called with a contract!” Walter exhaled – delighted that the comment was more humorous than acerbic.
One fall afternoon, I accepted an invitation from Mrs. Marx to stay for dinner. I vividly recall Mr. Marx enjoying a mug of German beer with his meal (a new notion for this young observer). Throughout dinner Walter again played the knowledgeable young raconteur, focusing this time on the subject of cuisine. I had little to contribute. To save face, I made some comment about how my mother roasts a chicken. The usually serious Mrs. Marx chuckled and shook her head in the negative. My comment caused her respect for Boston-Irish cooking to drop another notch. Feeling obliged to right a wrong, she carefully detailed for me the proper way to roast a chicken. I noticed that Walter was enjoying my plight a little too much!
As the two of us walked along Castleton Street one day, Walter pointed to a particular house and muttered, “They’re prejudiced against Germans.” The revelation embarrassed me because that family, like my own, was Boston-Irish. He explained that the son had “said things” of an offensive nature directly to the Marxes. Walter suggested that there were others around who had behaved similarly. Soon I learned the disappointing news that Walter would not be attending Boston Latin School with me but would be enrolling at The Roxbury Latin School, where his parents believed he’d be better insulated from this kind of injustice.
We saw each other much less while attending the different Latin schools. Our visits were usually in the summer and on school holiday weeks. I snapped this photo of him with Tippy during Christmas vacation when he was about 13 or 14.
A particularly memorable get-together took place in August of 1954 at the house on Castleton Street. The morning started off ominously cool and damp, so Walter decided to light the fireplace. When he opened the flue, a tremendous gush of wind created a blinding flurry of ash residues that settled all over the living room. What would his parents say if they came home to this? Frantic, he vacuumed all morning. On the WBZ radio noon news, the announcer described Hurricane Carol’s surprise visit to New England, with winds over 100 mph. As the newsman continued, his microphone picked up the crunch of the Channel 4 TV tower toppling onto the roof above him. Walter seemed relieved that somebody was having a worse day than he.
Walter and I went on to attend different colleges. Although we faithfully exchanged Christmas cards every year (his was always stunning), we rarely saw each other. I recall a chance meeting at the corner of Centre and So. Huntington in the early 1960s. I outlined my plans for graduate work in engineering. He, in turn, updated me on his studies in the classics. He was beaming about travel to Italy on a Fulbright scholarship.
In the 1970s his Christmas cards revealed that he was teaching at the Middlesex School in Concord, not far from where my wife and I lived. For some reason, neither he nor I made a gesture to get in touch. Perhaps we had gone our separate ways a bit too far. However, over the decades afterward I thought of him often.
Out of curiosity one day in 2005, I entered his name on an Internet search engine. It was then for the first time that I encountered the J.P.H.S. website. I pulled up the list of Walter’s articles and was thrilled to read them one by one. Then came the shock when I arrived at his obituary.
Walter was an unforgettable character. I’ll cherish my memories of our childhood experiences, and I’ll always regret having missed opportunities to reach out to him in adult life.
Walter H. Marx, 1939 - 1995
Founder, historian and linchpin of the Jamaica Plain Historical Society.
The impetus for writing this short biographical sketch followed by my reminiscences dates back to the Society’s Member’s Night at Doyle’s Café in Jamaica Plain on November 9, 2005. I was asked to offer spontaneous comments on the occasion of the dedication of a plaque honoring Walter, to be placed in the new archival files in recognition of his services to the Society since its inception in 1988. That previous February 2005 was the tenth anniversary of his death and it occurred to me that the Society had scant record of his achievements, both professional and “avocational”, particularly his role as Jamaica Plain Historical Society’s Historian. What follows, therefore, are my recollections of Walter’s education, accomplishments and unique contributions to Jamaica Plain’s recorded history.
I knew Walter only vaguely in his younger years, inasmuch as he was five years behind me at the Roxbury Latin School, from which he graduated in 1957. His early dedication to the Classics was evident in his tutorial sessions in Latin and Greek with fellow classmates. He also participated in the Soccer program and coached the school’s younger teams in that sport.
Walter continued his grounding in the Classics at Harvard University, receiving his BA (1961) and MAT (1962) in that discipline. His ambitious Master’s thesis tackled The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
His career as a teacher and Department Chair in the Classics led him to various locations from the early 1960’s through the mid 1980’s at: St. Stephen’s School, Austin, TX. (1962 - 1966), The Taft School, Watertown, CT (1966 - 1970), and The Middlesex School, Concord, MA (1972 -1983).
While at Middlesex, Walter procured a Vanity Plate with a modified version of the Roman Legions’ abbreviated motto, “S.P.Q. R.” (The Senate and the Roman People). Walter’s read ‘S.P.Q.C.” (The Senate and the People of Concord). This illustrates in a nutshell his immersion in the classical world and his attempts to make it more of an immediate experience for his pupils. In addition, he served as guide on numerous field trips to the major sites of Mediterranean Antiquity with those same students, demonstrating his deep hands-on involvement in his subject.
My later encounters with Walter were once again at Roxbury Latin School in the 1980’s where we both served on the Alumni Council. We also met frequently at gatherings of the West Roxbury Historical Society. These occasions led, quite naturally, to Walter’s recruitment of me as Treasurer of the fledgling Jamaica Plain Historical Society, only 10 months after its founding in late 1987. Up to that point, his German-born mother, Ellie, had tended to the Society’s financial duties. From that time on, I became closely acquainted with Walter’s activities with the Society.
The remainder of this essay will deal with my most vivid and lasting memories of Walter Marx; giving the reader an impression of what it was to know, work with, and hold with deep affection this immensely likeable man.
If we could define the working culture of the Jamaica Plain Historical Society early on, it was permissive, freewheeling, and thus very creative. Initially, Henry Scannell served as Archivist and he regularly produced interesting archival items from Jamaica Plain’s past. Somehow, we managed to organize lecture meetings, outdoor birthday parties and picnics, and hold annual elections.
Walter was very much involved in all our activities. He kept the spotlight focused on the Society through his countless articles in the local newspapers and by writing pamphlets such as “Jamaica Plain’s Streets”, which traces the historical roots of J.P. Street names. He conceived the idea of reprinting an 1890 bird’s eye map of Jamaica Plain. He and our current president, Michael Reiskind, served as “Ambassadors-at-Large” in the community, constantly immersing themselves in the important issues of the day and always advancing the Society’s concerns for what was best for Jamaica Plain.
Gradually, in addition to the regular meetings, there emerged the equally regular Newsletter, which is now a popular quarterly event. Happily, this served to increase our membership base from an original fifty souls to its present size of more than 150.
Through his contact with Richard Heath, a local historian and champion of preservation in his own right, Walter established contacts with the Forest Hills Cemetery and its President, Bud Hanson. From this liaison, informational walks in the Cemetery, led by Richard Heath, were developed. Walter’s association with the Cemetery was instrumental in planning and executing the dedication of the John Eliot Grove. This project memorialized “The Apostle to the Indians” and founder of the Roxbury Latin School. (Eliot is also memorialized in the present-day Eliot Street and the school bearing his name, located on Eliot Street, near Jamaica Plain’s Monument Square.)
Walter and Richard Heath were also instrumental in the restoration and beautification of the John Francis Parkman Monument located at the south end of Jamaica Pond.
Another noteworthy achievement was Walter’s scheduling of a visit to the Roxbury Latin School immediately following our dedication of the Eliot Grove. At the School we viewed various historical artifacts and souvenirs of John Eliot’s English period and saw the School’s original copy of Eliot’s translation of the Bible into Algonquin. This “Eliot Bible”, printed in 1663 was the first Bible printed in the Colonies in any language.
On several occasions, the Cemetery’s Trust opened the Chapel to the Jamaica Plain Historical Society meetings; notably, our Ghosts of November evening that recalled prominent historical persons interred in the Forest Hills Cemetery.
Another tradition established under Walter’s aegis and carried forth for several years involved Memorial Day Ceremonies. Not only were the Civil War and subsequent conflicts remembered, but also a long absent focus was thrown on the rich Revolutionary War local heritage in a ceremony near the Monument; at another located off Mendum and Walter Streets in Roslindale and at a Colonial burial plot known as Westerly, on Centre Street in West Roxbury.
When the historic Shirley-Eustis House was refurbished and reopened in the early 1990’s, Walter immediately became involved and emerged as Chief Docent and Tour Leader on the House’s august historical premises.
A further example of his unique talents as a researcher and popularizer of History was his “New Bern Caper”. He had researched the history of Newbern Street in Jamaica Plain for his publication on the neighborhood’s streets. He discovered a connection with the port city of New Bern, in North Carolina. The city, under Union control, had come to play a critical role in the interdiction of supplies to the Confederate Army. It had been captured early on in March 1862 by Federal forces and remained a Union garrison throughout the war. Walter decided to make New Bern a major port of call on one of his history excursions and he was able to identify various Union soldiers from Jamaica Plain who served there. Naturally, he later contributed extensive commentaries on his trip in the local paper.
I was privileged, along with a friend, to join Walter on what he would have termed his “General Knox’s Cannon Expedition”. On this trip we traced, in reverse, the course of the transfer of cannon by Revolutionary Army General Henry Knox from Fort Ticonderoga in New York, to Dorchester Heights in Boston. The plan was conceived in late 1775 and carried out in the late winter of 1776. This “mission impossible” enabled the Colonials to control Boston Harbor and all British Naval movements in the Boston theatre of operations. Walter was concerned in making an inventory of the monuments along the Knox route and we recorded their number and condition. We then filled out our weekend with a tour (which Walter had meticulously researched) of the palatial residences of the American plutocracy of the late 19th - early 20th century along the Hudson River. Of course, many articles and stories followed which kept the Jamaica Plain Historical Society in the eye of our audience.
I’d like to finish my reminiscences with what I call the “Walter Marx Loaves and Fishes Caper.” We could also think of it as “How Walter Marx Pulled the Rabbit Out of the Hat” This event occurred in the late 1980’s when we were grasping for issues and venues to create interest in the Jamaica Plain Historical Society. At the time, The Boston Beer Co. had just renovated the former Haffenreffer Brewery’s premises and began producing Sam Adams, “America’s Premium Beer”. A great deal of publicity was generated, since the product had been winning numerous annual International awards as the champion of beers. Amidst all this hoopla, Walter managed to convince the Boston Beer owners that it would be to their great advantage to sponsor a Jamaica Plain Historical Society meeting in the Oktoberfest Season (At the time, we had perhaps 70 - 75 members in good standing; none of them big spenders). He waved his wand again and somehow engaged the Community Hall of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, for our mid-week meeting. As the final touch in this miracle of Lourdes, the prohibited element of alcohol appeared in the form of “samples” of Sam Adams Lager. Thus, we succeeded in flying under the radar of the city and clerical authorities without untoward consequences. Incidentally, the sample size was 12 ounces, with no limit in quantities. Naturally, attendees remember, with a warm and hazy glow, that lecture on Sam Adams and the rebirth of beer brewing in Boston.
It would be difficult to conclude without recording a few personal impressions of my association with Walter Marx. The common experience that bound us closely was our attending Roxbury Latin, albeit a few years apart. There, we shared the school’s classical curriculum, in the course of which we studied under Gerhard Rehder, the school’s History Master for nearly thirty years. In his courses, Walter (and I) learned the maxim that any presentation, to be cogent, should be articulate (of course) but above all should have a discernable beginning, middle and end. I would daresay that Walter’s work in his teaching and with the Historical Society met this test. I hope my musings have come close to doing so as well.
How do I picture Walter now? He’s at his desk or on his couch somewhere in his beloved Elysian Fields, his lanky 6’4” frame hunched over his 1950’s typewriter, he is absorbed in cleaning the keys preparatory to writing yet another Gazette article. Beside him stands his humidor brimming with cigars, waiting to be plucked one by one after a day well spent. On his reading table await copies of Livy, Tacitus, Herodotus or Homer, all in the original, awaiting to be re-read and enjoyed along with a glass of lemonade by the “friendly talented giant” who was Walter Marx.

WALTER H. MARX
Walter and I came to know each other through my relationship with his father, who also bore the first name of Walter. We served together as board members of the Roxbury-Highland Bank for many years, and it was not uncommon for young Walter to accompany his Dad to the annual meeting of the bank. It was quite obvious that young Walter possessed a great love of history and, given his educational experience, he excelled in both the written and spoken word.
I shall share two occasions, which come to mind in remembering Walter. The first occurred on Memorial Day of 1993 when Walter delivered a scholarly treatise on “Civil War Monuments in Massachusetts”. The event took place at Forest Hills Cemetery to commemorate the magnificent Roxbury Soldiers’ monument on the 125th Anniversary of its dedication. A large crowd of young and old listened to Walter’s eloquent treatise on this and other monuments, dedicated to those who lost their lives during the Civil War, that adorn so many of our city and town squares.
The second was an equally scholarly treatise held at the Civil War Monument on Centre Street. Newly restored and replaced bronze plaques were proudly unveiled as Walter put in perspective the importance of Jamaica Plain’s most important monument.
To reflect on Walter H. Marx is to reflect on a man well suited to have been prominent in the Jamaica Plain Historical Society. He was truly a personification of erudition and a perfect gentleman.

Memories of Walter H. Marx
I’m not sure exactly when I first met Walter Marx. I do remember the first time I became aware of him when he talked to me as if we had already known each other for some time. I remember wishing I had met him earlier, partly because he was so helpful to me in my research of the history of Jamaica Plain and partly because knowing him helped make the business of researching fun.
I do not think he was one of the representatives of the newly founded Jamaica Plain Historical Society who back in the spring of 1988 invited me, along with Carol Kennedy of the Boston Landmarks Commission, to speak at the James Michael Curley mansion. It is possible I met him at the event itself, although it was so crowded-thanks to the lure of the Curley house, which was usually closed to the public-I might not have remembered clearly if I had met him there or not.
Yet it is more likely that whenever we did first meet, Walter simply ignored the inconvenience of the absence of previous acquaintance and acted as if we had known each other for years. That would be like the man. Always on the lookout for people who shared his enthusiasms, Walter didn’t so much start a conversation as dive into the middle of a topic and swim vigorously for the other shore.
Walter’s appearance made a strong impression, that’s for sure. He was very tall, with yellow-white hair that fell in a few thick strands across his forehead, thick glasses, and usually had a cigar, lit or unlit, in his hand or mouth. He was somewhat awkward in his movements. Add to that his deep voice and articulate manner of speaking-he liked to drop in the occasional Latin phrase-and it is hard to believe anyone could meet Walter without marking the encounter.
For all his eccentric appearance, however, Walter was truly engaging. He enjoyed conversation, including a good laugh-whether over some strange historical coincidence or the human comedy. Whenever we met, we would have a good talk that ended only when one of us realized we were in danger of completely derailing the day’s business. Then Walter, who usually had a long list of things to do-an article to write or other business-would wave his cigar with a wide smile and stride hurriedly down the street.
Walter was a generous and trusting soul. When I had reached the stage of looking for historic images of Jamaica Plain to go into my book, Local Attachments: The Making of an Urban Neighborhood, 1850-1920, Walter declared that he would help solve the problem by loaning me the Jamaica Plain Historical Society’s picture collection to see if there were any I might wish to copy for my book. Without asking for any guarantee or collateral, he delivered the spiral notebooks whose plastic sheets held the old photographs and postcards. As I pored over the sheets of little visual treasures, I thought of Walter-both his generosity and also his tobacco habit-as the notebooks’ vinyl pages reeked of cigar smoke. Yet, never one to hog the glory, Walter also steered me to Suzanne Presley, a prodigious collector of old postcards, and he spent much time thinking about what other sources for pictures might be available.
Indeed, Walter was not only gregarious; he also genuinely liked people. Somehow he kept track of everyone even remotely connected to Jamaica Plain’s history and quite a few others. For him, it seems to me, history was the record of people gone but who would have been most interesting to know.
A little of Walter’s flair for life, friendliness, and busy pursuit of history-not to mention, sympathy for the downtrodden-is reflected in a note he sent to me on April 19, 1988. The previous day we had crossed paths in Harvard Square, although I can no longer remember, if I ever knew, why Walter was there. One side of the paper was a photocopy of British stamps from Jamaica and a type-written paragraph, apparently written by Walter, about the origins of Jamaica Plain’s name, which he argues came from the Algonquin word, “kutchemakin.” On the other side, Walter wrote the following:
Good meeting you in the Square! Had I known that was to occur, I’d have handed this sheet to you which comes from A Concise Guide to the Streets of Jamaica Plain, which the society will feature. This seems to be a final word on the term Jamaica Plain. I must say I heartily endorse it, for I’m a great Indian cheerleader & the English were not nice to them. Fortunately, John Eliot was a fine exception. All this comes from a Citizen article I’m doing on Jamaica Plain aborigines. We must not dismiss them so easily, although ‘tis so easy.
His cheerful way of sharing history was one of Walter’s many charms and one reason that those of us who knew him, miss him, and remember him fondly.

For more than four years, since the Jamaica Plain Gazette began in February 1991, Walter Marx provided the paper and its readers with a fresh account of Jamaica Plain History-making page two one of the most popular pages of the newspaper.
His tales from the past of this neighborhood entertained and edified a cross-section of local residents who became loyal fans of “Looking Back.” He never turned in an article past deadline, and he never missed an issue, except those times when he graciously allowed others to write in his place.
Last week, Walter became part of the neighborhood history he loved so much. When he died he left a void, not only in this newspaper, but also in the community he served. Walter not only wrote about history, but he also helped make it. As the historian and a founding member of the Jamaica Plain Historical Society and as a member of the Jamaica Pond Association he worked tirelessly to see that pieces of the neighborhood’s past were preserved and protected. Just last month he persuaded the state to fix a monument on Kelley Circle that had been defaced.
Walter was history in action, tramping through wetlands, traveling to North Carolina and Maine, visiting libraries-all to get the story. Even though he wrote about the past, he probably conducted more current investigations than any other staff member. Walter Marx put his personal energy into everything he did. Approaching the Gazette office, if you smelled cigar smoke and heard a booming voice, you knew that Walter was around, copying documents, discussing events of the day while he joked with the staff.
Walter was such a vivid presence; it’s hard to imagine him gone. In a way, he is not. His writings and efforts to preserve Jamaica Plain’s history will be with us forever.
Editor, Jamaica Plain Gazette
He was just in my house only two weeks ago. He called as usual excited over an historical find and he wanted my help in identifying it. That was just like him: Walter loved facts and was always willing to share information. He loved whatever would teach him more about the city of his birth, but especially about Jamaica Plain. And he couldn’t wait to rush into the Gazette to tell everyone else what a famous place Jamaica Plain was.
Walter was educated as a scholar, a teacher and writer. He attended Roxbury Latin School and Harvard. Walter was never afraid to stretch his learning. He would call and ask me some clarification or he would give me copies of something he found or some photograph. His enthusiasm for the life of history was rare. For Walter the past made the present possible. I take pride that I led him to think about new things-especially about the significance of Roxbury history as the beginning of learning about Jamaica Plain. He and I loved the historic landscape. We shared a love and admiration for Francis Parkman, our mutual patron saint. Once, Walter sent me a map showing where all the trees were in the Arboretum that came from Parkman’s Jamaica Plain Pondside house.
Walter was a doer. He spent countless hours cleaning up and unearthing the secrets of the Eliot Street burial ground behind the Unitarian Church. Just before he died he rescued an obscure marker at Kelley Circle. Walter, Martha and I planted bulbs at the Parkman Memorial, and he would often go there alone and clean-up the site. He wrote the words to the plaque that honors John Eliot at Forest Hills Cemetery. His enthusiasm and energy helped make it happen. The Parkman Memorial will be Walter’s, too, for me. He loved the Shirley Eustis house and devoted thousands of hours to it over the years as a guide.
Walter did not suffer fools well. He suffered those who would destroy Jamaica Plain’s heritage with even more scorn. He could not understand the tortoise-like speed of government. He spent years trying to get the plaque replaced at the Monument. He loved Ward’s Pond and Nickerson Hill and the parkland behind the Kelly Rink, and he hated until the day he died its shabby condition and the way government ignored this precious park. Walter did not live in the past, but he didn’t want the past forgotten because the past was the only anchor he had. History-that straight line that ties us all together-was the spirit of Walter’s life. He was proud of where he lived and where he was born and he wanted everyone to be proud that they lived in Jamaica Plain too, because that pride would make us all better people. Better residents.
He didn’t want that steamroller of urban change to destroy the memories of the people that came before us. That’s why he loved plaques; Walter would have had a plaque for something or some event every sixteen feet in Jamaica Plain. That’s why he had to write history. Because he was afraid that people would forget and then they would lose their anchor. History ties us all together. It was the one thing that stopped the chaos that Walter saw all around him, from the changing landscape to the vanishing values.
Walter was unique. He was the soul of Jamaica Plain, the keeper of its treasures, the protector of its heritage. Above all else, he was a teacher. He would have been revered in Puritan Roxbury. His histories were not those of Plutarch or Livy-the Latin scholars he loved to read and quote, whom he admired along with the other ancient sages. His histories were for the common man and woman, girl and boy to read and learn and remember. But above all else, to be another ring on the anchor that would link us together as neighbors in Jamaica Plain. The past made the present possible.
Walter was my friend and Martha’s friend too. We will miss him. We will see his spirit at the Parkman Memorial. His like will not be seen again in Jamaica Plain.

Over the weekend, I pulled my Hawaii photo book off the bookshelf and flipped through it. Being homebound all of last week (because of a sick kid) will make you a little stir crazy and start thinking of places you’d rather be. With cloudy days and cold temps here in Chicago (and no snow! Where are you, snow*???), it was nice to look through the bright and lively images from our time Maui and Honolulu.
Not that I had a conversation with my camera (that’d be weird, right?), but I’m pretty sure Walter misses traveling too. We’re brainstorming where to go next. (So maybe I do talk to my camera….)
In addition to babbling about this Hawaii book, I finished two personal photo books last year and have learned a handful of things during the process. So I thought it’d be a good time as any to share what has helped me get my photos off my camera and into book form.
1. Culling photos from my camera. I used to be one of those people that would take 10,000 pictures of the same thing…and then keep all the images on my memory cards. I didn’t seem to understand the concept of deleting images, so when it came time to sift through images in Lightroom I would have a hard time going through all the images of the same palm tree (just an example) and deciding which one(s) to keep. These days, I still shoot the same way, but afterwards, I’ll preview the shots from my camera and immediately delete the ones that don’t immediately do it for me. If you’ve read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, you about know the principle of getting rid of things that don’t spark joy. I’ve started applying that to the images on my memory cards.
2. Placing related images into one folder. This is just obvious, isn’t? Yeah, I know. :-\ A little back story: I come from a family of organizers and somehow the gene missed me. Heck, it missed my husband too, so there wasn’t a check and balance system in existence around here. But then we had kids. (You know how that goes.) These days, I’m learning and embracing the idea of being more organized, and it has made life a lot easier, especially when it comes to vacation photos. If I’m on a hunt for my Hawaii pictures, I just look for the “Hawaii 2015” folder on my computer and voilà – there it is! This was especially helpful when I got around to the London and Paris photo books (created a couple of years after the trips). Keep the images on your memory card if you want. Just make sure they are also somewhere on your computer or storage drive – and labelled appropriately.
3. Staying on top of the photo book regularly. It helps when I don’t let too much time pass between editing the pages to prevent losing momentum/interest in the project. Last year, I did a family year book as well as documented my pregnancy and I think the only reason I have hard copies of them now is because I tended to them weekly while the pictures and notes were fresh on my mind. If I didn’t stay on top of them regularly, I’d probably be sitting here thinking I should do something with all those pictures I took in 2016….
Since I mentioned the Hawaii photo book, here’s a video I pulled together over the weekend:
For the record, I’m not saying that you should do a photo book for every vacation. But if you come back from a trip with a good number of images, you should at least print out your best memories so that you can look back on them and reflect. I will say that going back and seeing pictures of my son as a 7 month old on our family vacation gives me warm fuzzies.
Seeing the food pictures may or may not have the same effect. 🙂
*I love snow.

Gazprom Neft Press Office:
The Board of Directors of Gazprom Neft has reviewed information on the progress of the modernisation of the company’s oil refining facilities, and the sourcing of products for the domestic market.
A quadripartite agreement signed between Gazprom Neft and the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, and the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision in July 2011 established the company’s obligations regarding its fulfilment of investment programmes in oil refining and the production of oil products, consistent with regulatory requirements. Pursuant to its obligations under this agreement Gazprom Neft, in 2012 — 2013, brought into production a complex for hydro-treatment of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) gasolines and diesel fuels at its Omsk Refinery, as well as facilities for light naphtha isomerisation and FCC gasolines hydro-treatment at its Moscow plant. Total investment in the fulfilment of these projects is in the order of RUB27 billion.
The implementation of programmes directed at improving the quality of the fuels produced allowed Gazprom Neft, from as early as 2013 and ahead of schedule, to transfer completely to the production of Euro-4 and Euro-5 gasoline and diesel fuels, consistent with Russian regulation. High-octane gasoline and diesel fuels produced at the company’s Omsk and Moscow refineries are, today, full compliant with Euro-5 emissions standards.
Following completion of the first stage of the refinery modernisation programme, with the fuels produced having been brought up to European standards, the company embarked on the second stage — improving the depth of refining and increasing production of light oil products. As a result of the introduction of waste recycling processes, production of motor fuels is expected, by 2020, to increase by 17 percent, with refining depth increasing from 78.6 to 95 percent.
Projects being implemented over the next three years include, at the Omsk Refinery, reconstruction of a catalytic cracking unit, reconstruction of an alkylation unit with increased production capacity, and construction of a MTBE facility, and at the Moscow Refinery construction of a catalytic reforming unit and reconstruction of a catalytic cracking unit, again with increased capacity. Following such thoroughgoing modernisation Gazprom Neft’s Russian refineries are expected to achieve international standards of refining complexity.
The Gazprom Neft Board of Directors has also undertaken a review of the company’s procurement structure, with the company now actively engaged in the implementation of an import substitution programme across various business areas. In particular, a list of alternative producers, able to meet GPN’s specific needs, has been drawn up; a range of strategic partnerships have been entered into with Russian enterprises; and a number of specialist working groups have been established to assess capabilities of both Russian and alternative markets.Tags: management, refining

From what I gather, the hype around CABIN IN THE WOODS is more than well deserved. This isn't just by the built-in fanboy following that Joss Whedon has built over the years. This is from even the most critical eye spent waiting for this movie to potentially crash and burn. (Ticket sales will only tell.) But when you stick with quality people, you tend to put out a quality product. This week's Hot or Not selection is one of the women Whedon has been very faithful to.
If you were to ask me to recall any of the roles that Acker had before getting introduced on "Angel" as the long lost librarian Winifred 'Fred' Burkle, I couldn't have guessed if I tried. She was bookish and slight like the stereotypical librarian should be and she played that role to its full hilt. Fred wasn't just loveable. Acker made you fall in love with her.
I never did give "Alias," a spin even though I was always a staunch supporter of the Jennifer Garner ass-kicking years. So I don't remember Amy from that show. Sadly, there wasn't anything else to pick her up in until Whedon cast her in the doomed "Dollhouse," where she was cast as the fretful doctor with the facial scars and sketchy history. With that show being a crazed ensemble mess at times, she was one of the best ingredients in its madcap gumbo.
More meaningless and fruitless roles (Anyone get a chance to watch "Happy Town?") and luckily Acker has returned to the arms of the man who knows exactly what to do with her. Not only is she a fixture in this latest spookfest, she's getting paired with another Whedon regular, Nathan "Captain Tightpants" Fillion for the off-kilter version of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Well, Mr. Whedon, I'm here to thank you and point out a small recognized fact: I, and I'm sure many, many like myself, find Amy Acker just as hot as you do. Or do we?
What do you think of Amy Acker?

Lonestar has the capacity, resources and space required to conduct several Full Ring Tests (also known as CAPCIS Tests) simultaneously on various sizes of pipe coupons. These tests are required by numerous Oil and Gas companies to determine performance of materials under source service conditions using a full ring pipe coupon.
Sour service problems in pipeline steels are caused by various forms of hydrogen damage due to presence of Hydrogen Sulfide. The main mechanisms are Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC), Sulfide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC) and Stress Oriented Hydrogen Induced Cracking (SOHIC).
SSCC and HIC have long been recognized and have well established standard test procedures. For SSCC to occur a combination of tensile stress (applied and/or residual), corrosive environment and susceptible material is required. Stresses found within pipework systems are predominantly tensile and the environment i.e. sour oil and gas is a highly corrosive environment. HIC requires only the corroding environment. SOHIC is a combination of both SSCC and HIC and generally requires some element of stress, together with the Sulfide containing environment
There is a clear need for a laboratory based test method which can be used to evaluate the susceptibility of steels to all forms of cracking due to sour service. The Full Ring Test Method (FRT) has been designed to determine such susceptibilities.
- OTI 95 635
- Full circumferential ring is tested including all welds, HAZ and parent metal
- Online monitoring (UT Scan, hydrogen permeation) possible
- Full residual stress of manufacture and welding retained
- Full weld included and tested
- Full coupling of dissimilar materials along residual stress
- Strain Gauging of test ring to measure the applied stress
- Test cell containment
- Periodic On line UT monitoring for crack detection
- Magnetic particle inspection

The United States continued their reign over Spain with a grinding 82-76 win on Friday to put them through to the gold medal final of the men's basketball tournament for a third straight Olympics.
The Americans will ride a 24-game Olympic winning streak into Sunday's final where they will face the winner of Australia and Serbia who play later on Friday.
With the two top-ranked teams, number one U.S. and number two Spain, both packed with NBA talent, the game had the familiar buzz of a gold medal final.
As it should have, the countries having met to decide the gold at the previous two Olympics in London and Beijing, the U.S. coming out on top both times.
Led by 22 points from Klay Thompson, the U.S. led from the start and never trailed.

More Details Emerge As States' Attorneys General Seek To Hold Back Innovation On The Internet
from the this-is-a-bad-idea dept
the unintended consequence of Section 230 in that "you've essentially given these guys immunity" when state criminal laws are broken.Except, that's wrong. Section 230 does not grant them immunity if they broke state criminal laws. It gives them immunity if their users broke state criminal laws. And that's perfectly reasonable, because the AGs should be going after the actual criminals, not the company who made the tools they used. In fact, since many companies will cooperate with legitimate law enforcement requests, having a good relationship with these companies should help these AGs catch criminals. That is, rather than blame Craigslist for criminals using it, they should be working with them to use information on the site to catch criminals. But I guess actually catching a pimp is less exciting than falsely calling Craigslist a pimp-enabler and attacking them in the press.
Meanwhile, some other AGs are looking to completely reinterpret section 230 to their liking. We already noted just recently that Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood is trying to blame Google because he could search and find counterfeit goods for sale (by others). In comments, at the NAAG meeting, Hood is now trying to argue that because of Google's "autocomplete," it shouldn't be subject to 230 safe harbors.
One avenue prosecutors may seek to explore is the statute’s vague definition of an intermediary versus a content provider, Reidenberg suggested. During discussion after the panel presentations, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood pressed that angle, asking the panelists what acts by a site operator might be sufficient to categorize it as a content provider, not simply an intermediary.Except that if Hood actually understood how autocomplete worked, he'd know that's ridiculous. Google is not creating that content. It's just showing you what terms others are searching for. That is, it's providing factual information. That information could actually be useful to Hood, if he wanted to actually do his job and go after those who are selling the counterfeit drugs, rather than stupidly attacking the platform that would be a big help in tracking down the criminals. But, apparently, stopping truly rogue pharmacies is less headline grabbing than going after Google, even if Google has nothing to do with the actual sale of the counterfeit drugs.
Hood zeroed in on autocomplete in particular, saying, “We know they manipulate the autocomplete feature.” He is concerned about search engines, particularly Google, where for example a user entering “prescription drugs online” is given “prescription drugs online without a prescription” as an autocomplete option.

superdude1979 (62) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - DEC 2, 2007
Not a horrible beer, better as draft than in the bottle. Canada is flooded with beers like this that people buy just because they have been drinking it forever. When it’s cold it is okay, when it is warm it is very watery. AWS9 (742) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 24, 2007
UPDATED: APR 5, 2008 Re-rate.
Had this in a bottle, which was slightly better than it was in a can, so I felt it deserved a slight upgrade from before. Still terrible beer. Watery, burnt corn taste. Doesn’t have a "refreshing" Caribbean taste, so I’m not sure what makes this bohemian... ugh. barncatmatt (2355) - Cambridge, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 17, 2007
UPDATED: AUG 3, 2010 341 bottle. standard pale lager with slightly more to offer then most buck a beers. id never turn one down so long as its free/////////////////re-rate 030810 clear gold with white head and lace. crappy green apple nose. decent real malt flavour and actual hop balance lingering on a touch of bitterness. finishable. Rcr84 (33) - CANADA - AUG 4, 2007
Tried this and carling in the same night.... i really think they are the exact same beer. Watery corn flavor very boring. Much rather spend more for a enjoyable beer. chainman (104) - Ontario, CANADA - JUL 24, 2007
I bought this out of curiosity...for the same money, you can get the monstrosity that is Lakeport, you can get the watery charm of Lucky, or you can get Bohemian (as well as about 20 other brands in this category). For its price, this is the best I’ve had - reminds me of a watery OV or Golden...has that Molson characteristic malt taste, and is surprisingly easy to drink! This was a good "band practice" beer...I wouldn’t buy this to just sit around and enjoy, but if you need a bunch of beer while you’re doing something else, this one is perfect. Bonus points for the price! [side note: I have heard two versions of what this beer is: 1) Bottom-of-the-barrell Canadian/OV/whatever mixed together and watered-down, or 2) Made from the same recipe as Canadian, but with way cheaper ingredients. ] Either way, I would take this over Canadian!
markas101 (2501) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - JUL 19, 2007
33 cl bottle, Shelburne. Sweet corn aroma, same in the taste. Not terrible, better than other offerings for the ’24 for 24’ category, but I’d still spend a few dollars more for a much better beer. The 5 out 5 review - really? vondutch (5) - Alberta, CANADA - JUN 18, 2007 does not count
This is a damn fine beer for $27.00 / case of 24. In Ontario anyway. Sadly I can’t find any Bohemian OR Pabst in Calgary... :( Anyone seen any around? JohnBarleycorn (537) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 10, 2007
Bottle. Medium-gold, tonnes of large bubbles and a consistent foamy head. Aroma profile is a weird mix of grain, alcohol, urine and iceberg lettuce. Unexciting palate. Excruciatingly basic flavour is little more than watery grain. The bland flavour even ruined a good plate of fries. Not worth the bottle label, let alone a buck and change. stcuddy (4) - king st, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 8, 2007 does not count
Decent beer for very cheap. Doesnt break the bank and can be enjoyed on a day to day basis. wilderthanyou (758) - Guelph, CANADA - FEB 28, 2007
As far as cheap beers go, this is certainly one of the better ones. Its a good beer to take fishin with you. Not really much to say about the appearnce or taste that hasn’t already been said.

Jake Owen’s Duet With Ronnie Dunn Is ‘A Dream Come True’
Owen has just released a new album titled American Love, and had already released a single titled "American Country Love Song" to radio in advance of the new project. Now he's re-releasing the song in a new version that features Dunn's voice alongside his own on the track.
“When I listen to this track, I can’t help but grin from ear to ear,” Owen admits (quote via Sounds Like Nashville). “I was lucky enough to go on tour with Brooks & Dunn early in my career. I would sit out on the lawn of the amphitheaters and listen to their sound check every day. To have Ronnie’s voice on a song with me is a dream come true. I have always been such a fan and when I first heard ‘American Country Love Song,’ it reminded me of the Brooks & Dunn song ‘Only in America.’”
Owen wasn't sure what response he would get, so he was especially excited when he received word that Dunn had agreed to appear on the song.
“I sent the song to Ronnie and asked him if he would sing on it with me. When I received an email back from him saying that he really liked the song and would send the track back to me with his vocal, I was like a kid on Christmas morning waiting with anticipation," he says. "And man, did he nail it! I still can’t believe it. I can’t wait to hear what people think about it.”

As discussed before, I’m a bit behind. So, I’m going to post the last two weeks of groceries today especially because this week was pretty light.
On Monday, I went to Stop & Shop. This was almost exclusively for drinks. I also got some cherries and chicken nuggets on sale.
Then, on Sunday, I made a small trip to Wegman’s. I would have gotten the bulk bag of potatoes, but they were out so I settled for a few loose ones.

Like Rothko's paintings, Red makes strong demands on the viewer
Red opened last weekend at Curious Theatre Company. We'll publish a full review in the next Westword -- but Juliet Wittman was so impressed with the production, she provided this sneak preview:
John Logan's Red is a two-hander about painter Mark Rothko. The year is 1958, and he has been commissioned to create a group of paintings for Philip Johnson and Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, to be exhibited in the Four Seasons restaurant.
In the play, Rothko has hired an assistant, an aspiring young artist. Ken is suitably awed by the master, arriving in a suit and tie, desperately trying to come up with the right answers to Rothko's penetrating and often ill-tempered questions, most important among them: What does Ken see when he looks at the painting Rothko is working on?
The early part of Red is a lesson in how to look at art - or at least art like Rothko's, pulsations of color, vibrating reds balanced by floating black frame-like shapes, art that's torn from the creator's soul yet from which the creator has deliberately absented himself. But what we're getting is more than a fascinating lecture. It is also a glimpse into the psyche of an obsessed genius, a troubled human being, a solipsist for whom nothing outside his mind and art really exists.
For a long time Rothko overwhelms poor Ken, who pours coffee, cleans up, fetches Chinese food, endures rages that arise as pointlessly and unexpectedly as summer storms, considers bringing his own work to Rothko's attention but thinks the better of it, and comes to understand Rothko's petty jealousies and his deepest fears - that the work is insufficient, that the black in his paintings will eventually overwhelm the red, that his time in the limelight is over and younger talents will surpass him as he surpassed those who went before.
Finally, Ken calls Rothko on his narcissism and suggests that his portentous, heavy-spirited work isn't the only valid form of art. "Sometimes," he says, "you just want a fucking still life." Like Rothko's paintings, Red makes strong demands on the viewer. And repays them in full.
Presented by Curious Theatre Company through June 16, with performances at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, at 1080 Acoma Street. For ticket information, call 303-623-0524 or go to www.curioustheatre.org.

This factsheet is about acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas is damaged resulting in the release of the digestive enzymes into the pancreas. It occurs in 34 per 100,000 people every year.
Although pancreatitis typically affects people in their middle or later years, it can occur at any age, including childhood. It affects both men and women.
What is the pancreas?
The pancreas is a gland which secretes enzymes and hormones. It is located in the top portion of the abdomen, in front of the spine and behind the stomach. It is around 25cm (nine inches) long, salmon pink in colour, and at its widest point is about the thickness of your wrist.
The pancreas has two main functions. One is to secrete digestive enzymes, which enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct to help your body digest food. The second is the production of hormones including insulin, which regulate the body’s total energy resources and blood sugar levels.
What is acute pancreatitis?
Acute pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas is damaged, resulting in the release of the digestive enzymes into the pancreas. This causes severe inflammation and death of the pancreas tissue. Normally, the digestive enzymes are secreted into the small bowel where a protective “chemical cap” is removed. This allows enzymes to digest food. If they start working too soon, the pancreas becomes red, inflamed and swollen and may suffer irreversible damage. In severe disease, large parts of the organ die and this is called necrotising pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis occurs in 34 per 100,000 people every year. Although pancreatitis typically affects people in their middle or later years, it can occur at any age, including childhood, and affects both men and women. 1 in 4 people who experience an acute pancreatitis attack may experience problems with other organs, particularly kidney failure and lung damage. This is a particular risk for people with severe necrotising pancreatitis. When this happens, people may need care in an intensive care unit (ICU) or high dependency unit (HDU). It is unclear why some people experience these complications and others don’t. We need better tests to determine early which people are going to have symptoms. This is so treatment can be started as soon as possible.
The long-term damage that results from pancreatitis is unpredictable. Although the damage may be minor and short lived, in others it may be severe causing longer lasting symptoms. 79 out of 100 adults who develop acute pancreatitis fully recover and never have another episode. However, those who need high dependency or intensive care treatment may experience longer lasting problems because of permanent damage to the pancreas. Examples include chronic pancreatitis, where the inflammation persists, and problems related to a failure of the pancreas to function occur. This includes pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI). In PEI the pancreas loses its capacity to secrete the digestive enzymes. Diabetes can occur when insulin producing cells are destroyed or fail to recover. Adults will experience another case of acute pancreatitis in 21 out of 100 cases. This is called recurrent pancreatitis and 8 in 100 adults with recurrent pancreatitis go on to develop long-term or chronic pancreatitis.
What are the causes of acute pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis in adults
8 in 10 cases of pancreatitis in adults are caused by either gallstones or excessive alcohol consumption. Gallstones are the most frequent cause of acute pancreatitis. The second most frequent is drinking alcohol above recommended limits. Gallstones cause problems when small stones pass out of the gallbladder into the bile duct and block the duct that drains the pancreas. This blockage can be short term, if the stone is expelled, but if the stone becomes stuck, the damage persists. Treatments may be needed to remove the stone and relieve the blockage. The longer the delay is in relieving the blockage, the more severe the damage to the pancreas.
Alcohol damages the pancreas. Some people are more susceptible to alcohol damaging the pancreas because of their genetic make-up. Sometimes this results in pancreatitis running in families. Damage occurs both with drinking too much in a short time (binge drinking) and regular excessive drinking. Smoking tobacco is also thought to be toxic to the pancreas and this is another contributory factor in the risk of developing pancreatitis.
1 in 10 people who experience acute pancreatitis, no known cause can be found, this is called idiopathic pancreatitis. For the remaining 1 in 10 cases, pancreatitis episodes have unusual causes, such as:
- Following trauma, for example, a road traffic or bike accident.
- As a rare side effect of some medicines, such as azathioprine and steroids.
- Genetic problems that lead to too much fat in the bloodstream (known as
hypertriglyceridemia). Familial Chylomicronaemia Syndrome, is a group of
conditions that run in families and lead to high levels of triglycerides, a type
of fat, in the body.
- A high level of calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia).
- As part of an autoimmune disease (when the body’s immune system, which has evolved to fight infections turns on itself).
- If the duct draining the pancreas gets blocked by a cancerous growth.
- Following a medical procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in which the bile duct or pancreatic duct are investigated. This occurs in less than 5 in 100.
- Some viral infections, including Covid-19.
1 in 10 individuals are born with an anomaly in the ducts that drain the pancreas. This is called pancreas divisum and is associated with a small increased risk of developing pancreatitis. Most people with pancreatic divisum do not experience any problems.
Pancreatitis in pregnancy is rare, happening in fewer than 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 12,000 pregnancies. When it does occur, it is usually caused by gallstones or elevations in blood triglyceride (fat) levels. Pancreatitis generally occurs late, typically in the third trimester.
Pancreatitis in children
Pancreatitis in children is rare, occurring in less than 1 in 10,000 children. Gallstones and medicines are the main causes. In some children a cause cannot be found and the pancreatitis is classified as idiopathic pancreatitis. A minority of children with pancreatitis go on to have further episodes, especially those with genetic causes. Reports have suggested that pancreatitis is more common in children from a Pakistani ethnic background, but these figures need confirming.
How can acute pancreatitis affect you?
Acute pancreatitis can be very painful and may require a hospital stay. Most people achieve a full recovery, although this may take some time. Some will suffer from recurrent attacks and a small number may have persistent or chronic pancreatitis.
What are the usual symptoms of acute pancreatitis?
- A sudden onset of abdominal (belly) pain, usually starting in the upper abdomen developing over minutes to hours.
- Pain that can also travel through to the back.
- Feeling sick (nausea) and being sick (vomiting).
- A fever and a high heart rate particularly in severe disease.
Most people need to be admitted to hospital to control the pain and start treatment.
How is acute pancreatitis diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on the symptoms experienced and a positive blood test for enzymes produced by the pancreas (called amylase and lipase). These enzymes are not normally detectable in the blood. But in response to injury to the pancreas they are released and spill over into the blood. This test is only available in hospital and mild pancreatitis might not show a positive blood test. Sometimes, the early diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is not clear. In such cases, a special X-ray called a CT or MRI scan can be useful in making the diagnosis. A CT scan is often also done to assess the extent of the damage to the pancreas. It can also rule out other possible causes of pain if the diagnosis is not clear.
Everyone with acute pancreatitis should have an ultrasound scan to check for gallstones as a possible cause. The ultrasound doesn’t need to be done as an emergency and can be done in the first few days.
How can acute pancreatitis affect me overtime?
People with pancreatitis typically stay in the hospital for 5 to 10 days. If the pancreatitis is severe and complications develop, people can be in hospital for several months. For people that achieve a full recovery at home, their recovery can be up to three times the length of a hospital stay.
For people who need treatment on an intensive care unit, this can be a traumatic experience with long-term effects on mental and physical health. If you feel this has happened, talk to your doctor about what help is available. Talking to others through support groups and family members can also help.
Some people develop complications around the pancreas, particularly the formation of fluid-filled collections called cysts. If this happens, recovery may take longer, and further treatment is sometimes required.
Most people achieve full recovery, although some will suffer from recurrent attacks. A small number may have persistent or chronic pancreatitis. If the damage is severe, people may need supplementary digestive enzymes to help to digest food. About 1 in 5 adults who have had severe acute pancreatitis will go on to develop diabetes in the future.
Symptoms which suggest the development of diabetes and should be discussed with your doctor include:
- Unintentional weight loss.
- Feeling very thirsty.
- Peeing more often than normal, particularly at night.
- Craving sugary drinks and foods.
- Other symptoms might include tiredness and blurred vision.
What treatment is available for acute pancreatitis?
There is no current medicine or treatment that can stop the inflammation in acute pancreatitis. Guts UK is funding research aiming to understand the inflammation that occurs during pancreatitis better. We are dedicated to finding an effective treatment for pancreatitis. Supportive treatments such as fluids through a drip and oxygen delivered through a mask are often needed. In more severe cases, a bladder catheter may be inserted to check urine output and a slender naso-gastric tube passed via the nostril into the stomach. This tube allows extra feeding to be given.
The abdominal pain can be extreme requiring strong painkillers including morphine-type drugs. Although antibiotics can sometimes be necessary to treat complications, they are not routinely used because pancreatitis is not an infection.
Often people get better quickly and can eat and drink within a few days, but sometimes longer-term tube-feeding is needed. Most people have only mild inflammation and soon settle, but some develop complications. These complications may require specialist interventions using endoscopy or surgery.
Rarely a telescope examination called an ERCP is needed. The reasons this might be required are:
- If there is an infection in the bile duct (cholangitis)
- If there is a stone jammed in the bile duct blocking the pancreas duct.
ERCP is used to remove the blockage and drain the ducts. Your healthcare team will discuss treatment with you and will advise what and when treatments should be given.
Once people are over the worst part of the attack, it is very important to search for and treat any underlying cause of the pancreatitis. For example, if gallstones are the cause they can be removed by surgery. This is usually done soon after the attack has settled to prevent more attacks in the future.
If the cause of acute pancreatitis is alcohol, it is really important that the person with pancreatitis stops drinking alcohol completely and forever. This may require specialised help, as it can be difficult to do it alone. Ask your doctor about alcohol services in your area. If you have another cause of pancreatitis that recurs or becomes chronic, you should stop drinking alcohol permanently. Alcohol can aggravate pancreatitis caused by other conditions.
People are also recommended to stop smoking because tobacco and nicotine are thought to be toxic to the pancreas. Help is available, most NHS services include a stopping smoking service. Asking for professional help can boost your chances of being successful.
Probiotics are not effective for treating pancreatitis. In some studies their use has been associated with a worse outcome so they should not be used.
Who treats pancreatitis?
People in hospital with pancreatitis are treated by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). The team may include a doctor who specialises in gastroenterology (diseases of the gut, liver and pancreas), a surgeon, nurses, pain management team and a dietitian.
For those who are in hospital for some months and lose fitness, rehabilitation with a physiotherapist or occupational therapist may be needed. If someone has been on a life support machine with a breathing tube, once in a while swallowing function takes time to recover. A speech and language therapist might be needed to give advice about correct food and drink textures to have, whilst swallowing improves.
For people who experience complications of pancreatitis, the MDT may consult a specialist hepato-biliary (related to liver and gallbladder) centre if this service is not available through the hospital. These centres are regional hospitals that have specialist teams that provide advice and/or treatment to peoples with pancreatitis. Children will be treated with a paediatric (specialist children’s) team, containing similar healthcare practitioners as above, but who treat children specifically.
For relatives visiting someone with severe pancreatitis on the intensive care unit, it can be upsetting to see all the machines used. The staff can explain what the machines are for and how they are helping your relative.
What complications can occur?
In the first week, the main complications arise if severe pancreatitis triggers whole-body inflammation, affecting other organs. This can lead to low blood pressure and a rapid heart rate. This situation requires specialist care on an ICU or HDU to control the blood pressure with the use of fluids given through a vein and medicines to increase blood pressure. If the lungs are affected, breathing problems may require oxygen supplementation. This is given through a mask. Or in very severe cases, by putting the person to sleep and supporting their lungs on a ventilator and life support machine.
Fluid can collect around the pancreas and sometimes pockets of fluid called pseudocysts can form. Sometimes these fluid collections can become infected and need antibiotics given through a drip. Most of these settle on their own but sometimes they need to be drained. The pseudocyst is drained using a needle or drain inserted through the side of the belly, or via endoscopy or rarely a surgical operation. If parts of the pancreas or surrounding tissues die during the attack, they can get infected and turn into an abscess that also may need to be drained. These treatments are usually performed in a specialist pancreas centre. Your doctor can advise you about the treatment plans.
Unfortunately, acute pancreatitis can be so extreme that some people die. Overall,1 in 15 to 1 in 20 people who experience severe acute pancreatitis will die from that attack. Nearly all deaths from acute pancreatitis occur in those people who needed to go to high-dependency or intensive care. Deaths amongst children are rare.
What to ask your doctor?
- Will my pancreatitis go away?
- Should I be monitored after leaving hospital?
- What signs of sickness should I look out for when I am discharged from hospital that mean I might need to a see specialist or need to be readmitted?
- If gallstones were the cause of my pancreatitis, when will I have my gallbladder removed?
- Where is my local pancreas centre?
- When does acute pancreatitis become chronic?
- Do I need prescription digestive enzymes? What diet is best? (Ask your dietitian.)
- Do I need testing for diabetes?
For adults and children that are diagnosed with hereditary pancreatitis, if they and their family wish, there is the possibility of being referred for genetic testing. This will involve a discussion with a genetic counsellor about the impact that this testing may have on the individual and the family. Your hospital specialist can refer you.
Your priorities for pancreatitis research
At the beginning of 2021, Guts UK started the process of identifying the top 10 research priorities for pancreatitis in the UK. It was important to us that patients, their families, carers and healthcare professionals decided this top 10 together, with equal voices. Now, in November 2022, we are delighted to announce your top 10 research priorities for acute and chronic pancreatitis, in both children and adults.
NICE guidelines on pancreatitis:
The NICE guidelines on pancreatitis aim to improve the quality of care, information provision and support for people with pancreatitis. The guidelines have a section on information to the public, explaining the care that people with pancreatitis should expect.
The future looks brighter. This is the first time you have been asked what research you’d like to see into your condition. Now, Guts UK is working hard to promoting these questions and putting them questions into ‘researchable’ format. We’re dedicated to finding an effective treatment, a cure for pancreatitis.
The National Institution of Health & Research (NIHR) allocate more research funding for conditions with PSPs, which we’re delighted to say that pancreatitis now has! Researchers applying for grants within the top 10 priority areas are more likely to be successful.
We finally have a direction for pancreatitis in the UK, a condition that has been neglected and misunderstood for too long. Together, we’re changing that. Thank you.Your top ten research priorities for pancreatitis!
Your kindness helps us to fund life-saving and life-changing research. Helping us to shape and change the future for those with pancreatitis.
Our current active research into pancreatitis
Dr Kattakayam is assessing whether protecting the mitochondria (cell powerhouses) outside of the pancreas cells (within other cells and organs), reduces the severity of the condition and prevents worsening damage to the pancreas itself.

“Buckeye” Sculpture Relief
“Buckeye” was based on a former Lake Ave North Sidewalk in St. James. This water valve cover was eventually paved over with asphalt. During the time our family lived in St. James, NY (on Long Island) I documented many of the manhole covers, grates and water covers from this charming hamlet. In fact St. James was the Home and Start of My Manhole Art. As some of the covers disappeared (replaced by generic covers) or were paved over, I realized that my art works actually documented the history of the streets.“Water Service” is a collagraph print. It was printed on my Dickerson Press on my own handmade paper. The printing plate is created in relief. The various colors of oil based ink are brushed into the lowest areas. Then the high relief is wiped clean. Black ink is rolled over the highest relief. Dampened paper is placed over the plate and run through the printing press. This procedure is repeated for each print.Penciled around the edge of the image are the names of Mario Palmieri and John Mayleas and the location of the water service mark-out. Both of the Water District Employees were enthusiastic about my “Water Works.” They taught me about the street markings and the various kinds of water covers.
“John E. Potente & Sons”
Potente covers and grates are prevalent on Long Island. When I saw a vine creeping through its openings, I knew I wanted to record this scene from Woodlawn Avenue in St. James. This is also a collagraph from a small edition. A “John E. Potente” print was recently exhibited with a Heckscher Museum Permanent Collection.
It’s not too often that one sees a damaged manhole cover. Mario Palmieri and John Mayleas had discovered it in the St. James Water district and knew I would be interested. After I created this sculpture relief ( 48″ x 36″ x 1.5″) people teased that the image reminded them of Pac Man (side view)
Most people recognize the Bell System Telephone Cover Design. Note the Bell in the center circle. The actual covers in St. James were a rusty iron color. How many of you have seen this cover? The familiar hexagon pattern may even adorn the streets of your town or city. The papers for these prints were made from cotton linter fibers dyed blue and netting was added to some of the prints before printing.
The Ford Water Meter Cover was a prominent cover in St James. Sometimes Litter was prominent. Consequently, a small group of residents formed a grass-roots organization to adopt areas to clean and beautify. It was named: C.L.E.A.N. ( Committee for Litter Elimination And Neatness). My adopt – a spot was the King Kullen Parking Lot, which RJK Gardens now maintains.

It dried the hair faster than usual leaving it with a richer finish. The biggest problem with hair color is fading, and I've observed that with repeated use of this dryer hair color fades less and shine remains.

THE Millicent Sand Buggy Club’s Teagle Excavations ARB Pines Enduro 400 will return in 2021, continuing a 42-year racing history.
Entries are now open for the October 15-17 event, with sponsor Teagle Excavations thrilled to see the event back, after last year’s racing was cancelled due to COVID-19.
“We are really proud to support this event, which not only offers a great weekend of racing, but creates substantial flow-on benefits for the Millicent community and beyond,” said Teagle Excavations general manager Kurt Stephan.
“The 2019 event attracted more than 80 teams who battled some testing wet weather conditions, and we’re hoping for another strong turnout in 2021.”
Kurt Stephan is one of five Limestone Coast locals chasing the chequered flag, with Aaron Heemskerk, Heath Weedon, Jake England and Grant Bowden also handing in early nominations.
Entry into the event closes at midnight Friday October 8 ACST; with discounted early bird entries closing on Sunday September 26 2021.
Entry covers passes for the driver, co-driver or navigator, and three pit crew.
This year’s event will stick to its regular three-day format.
Friday is set aside for scrutiny, and members of the public are encouraged to head to Teagle’s Quarry on Princes Highway at Millicent between 6:00pm – 8:00pm to view the free public vehicle display, with food and refreshments also available.
Saturday will consist of a Prologue followed by heats of the 6-kilometre short course at Teagle’s Quarry, while Sunday’s endurance race will see six laps of the 60km long course through the pine forest tracks and unsealed district roads.
Ten classes will be contested, with trophies awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd outright, along with the top three places in each class.
A formal presentation dinner will be held at the Millicent Civic and Arts Centre on Sunday evening.

On the watch
In Cross River State, some young men have indicated their intention to succeed Governor Liyel Imoke in 2015. Jude Okwe unveils some of these emerging leaders
Gradually, the coast is becoming clearer. Like the morning dew that disappears at the appearance of sun ray, rumours over their ambition have turned into evident truth. Aspirants to the office of Governor of Cross River State are no longer hiding in their cocoons. They have emerged on the scene and gone into the field soliciting support.
Naturally, it was expected. The decision by the PDP in the state to zone the number one office to the northern senatorial district means more gubernatorial aspirants will emerge from that axis. Thus, none of the five Local Government Areas of the district lacks a governorship hopeful. More will come up, especially now that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the timetable for the 2015 general election.
No doubt, the race for Cross River State Government is on with a behive of famous names and intriguing oddballs – including the rumoured ambition of the Southern Senatorial District to take another shot at the office to the detriment of the north despite the power rotation agreement.
But steadily, the field of serious contenders for the office has contracted. The party now parades a tightly packed troika of aspirants, and no one can hazard a guess on who will pick the PDP ticket finally. Those in the race so far include, Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo, Mr. Ishang Tanko (Obanliku); Mr. Godwin Jeddy-Agba (Obudu); Dr. Julius Okputu, Mr. Mr. John Odey, Hon. Larry Odey (Yala); Mr. Legor Idagbo (Bekwarra); Chief Francis Bullem, Mr. Joe Abang (Ogoja) and Chief Gershom Bassey, the lone aspirant from Cross River South Senatorial District.
Bassey, despite the zoning and repeated assurance by Imoke that his successor will come from the north, is in the race and not mincing words about it. Stickers embossed with his pictures adorn cars and vehicles of his supporters especially those from his senatorial district.
Not less than five support groups have printed the stickers each with a different message. But the commonest among them is ‘’Money Wey Work No Go Chop? Gershom Bassey 2015.â€
These stickers, according to findings, were not printed overnight. Each group was said to have gone to him for approval. That he did not dissuade them, many thought, meant he authorised their printing.
A reliable politician of Efik ethnic stock in the south told THISDAY that Gershom was very much in the race, adding that he was just bidding his time, watching events unfold in the polity. He might be using the stickers to fly a kite as well as gauge the opinion and reaction of the public.
Another source said if Bassey was not in the race, he would not have put in place a campaign organisation that has been into consultation across the state since 2013. He went further to appoint local government coordinators who have been working underground for him.
Bassey has in the last one year been oiling his structures and sees himself as Imoke’s rightful successor given that they belong to the same triumvirate and have a 24-year governorship agenda for the state.
Bassey’s aspiration has brought to the fore, the tug of war between the south and north over the PDP ticket. The battle is further made fierce by the fact that his senatorial district took its turn in his kinsman, Mr. Donald Duke (1999-2007), yet he does not see to reckon with the zoning that conceded to the north to fulfill the 24 years governorship agenda. Imoke is from the Central Senatorial District. But Bassey has an uphill task. The Central and North (Atam) have closed ranks over this project. Can the south alone make him governor? Are the Ejagham speaking people of the south with the Efiks?
Opposition parties in the state like APC, LP, APGA and PPA are also looking towards the north for their candidates but so far none has emerged on any of these platforms.
The APC which appears to be the most formidable of the parties in the opposition is still busy with membership drive. The party is said to be consulting at the same time. Once it gets a credible aspirant, the person will take to the salesmanship for votes at once, it was gathered. But below are some of those who want to succeed Imoke in 2015.
He hails from Calabar South Local Government Area and one of those young men who took Cross River State politics by storm in 1999. In league with Imoke and Duke, the trio became a force in the politics of the state and envisioned a new Cross River anchored on tourism development, agriculture and infrastructure revolution. Since 1999, he’s been the chairman of the Cross River State Water Board Ltd.
Bassey holds no cabinet position but sits in cabinet meetings. He is also the chairman of the State’s Strategic Planning Commission. With these key appointments that put him in a pole position, he has been understudying governance and generally seen as the heir apparent.
He is a leach on Imoke. Bassey wields enormous influence and is more of a de facto deputy governor. His ambition may not be more than the fact that he belongs to the clique of the “three wise men†that introduced “Conclave Politics†to Cross River and which must govern the state in turn.
His support base is mostly among his Efik people as the growing consciousness in the Central and North for power shift has shot him out. His believes that the many aspirants from the north will cause a vote split to his advantage as Cross River Northern Coalition is working towards having one credible aspirant for the PDP ticket if he dares to contest. But the race might be open if he does not.
Indeed Bassey is in a big political dilemma. The second option of sending him to the senate as a soft-landing looks imagined than real. Incumbent Senator Bassey Edet Otu wants a second term. The senator is too popular in the south and can floor any other contender. Gershom is certainly no match. If he wants to govern Cross River, he may have to wait till 2023.
Mr. Godwin Jedy Agba
This son of the Paramount Ruler of Obudu Local Government Area, Uti Joseph Davies Agba, is the General Manager (Crude) of the NNPC. His entrance into the race has altered many political calculations in the state. Now, he is seen as the candidate to beat. He has everything going for him- connection at Aso Rock, national and international contacts, petrodollar and support across the state.
Agba is also a young man within an age bracket that is noted for vibrancy in government. Since 2013, he’s been consulting with those that matter in the politics of the state. A good chunk of members of the Cross River Caucus at the National Assembly are with him. He is also into agriculture with his cassava and garri farm, offering employment to some citizens of the state. Those close to him said he has a heart of gold and loves identifying with any development cause.
But the snag against him, critics say is that he has surrounded himself with personages who have credibility crisis in public office in Cross River State. Such persons are seen as a liability to his aspiration. What is he doing with known serial assault specialists in his campaign team? People who fought themselves out of public office and by extension relevance of Cross River politics cannot take him anywhere. Who on earth will listen to them when they mount the rostrum to speak?
Whenever Agba resigns from his job to pursue his aspiration, Cross River politics will witness a new phase. Those who thought the state was their private political estate are uncomfortable as this blue blood is set to rattle them. Currently, on the lips of those afraid of him is “Cross River Governorship is not for saleâ€. Certainly, the old order has changed.
Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo
He has the richest resume of all those in the race. Ugbo is ex-this ex-that. This economist, banker, management consultant, lawyer and administrator had distinguished himself as far as public office is concern. Now, he wants to cap it by being on the driver’s seat. Ugbo comes from Obanliku Local Government Area where the famous Obudu Ranch Resort is located.
Ugbo has worked as a management staff with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN); served as Commissioner for Finance in the state; appointed Secretary to the State Government and currently, Executive Secretary, National Planning Commission. Ugbo has experience in the private and public sectors and sees himself as the right man to succeed Imoke, his erstwhile boss.
This gentleman who stepped down for Imoke in 2007 has worked closely with the State Government that he knows everything about the administration and can easily continue with its development programmes. Those uncomfortable with his aspiration said he is the candidate of the establishment, an indication that the “three wise men†whom they want to dislodge from power will still be in control if he wins.
This dashing young man who also gave up his ambition in 2007 for Imoke hails from Yala Local Government Area. Good luck is his second name. At a young age and with no experience in public administration, he was appointed chairman of the Cross River State Civil Service Commission. He distinguished himself in that portfolio that it became his launch pad into other appointments in the state.
His CV is well-off too given that he has held many other offices including commissioner in different ministries. Okputu, given his rich background in public office, knows much about ecology of administration. His experience gives him an edge which means he won’t falter if elected governor of the state. As a man with foresight, he used the offices held to build friendship and bridges across the state. This explains his support base.
Chief Francis Bullem
To listen to this ex-banker speak is a delight. To understand him is to savour the fruit of his intellect. With over 20 years experience in the banking sector, Bullem, a native of Idum, Mbube in Ogoja Local Government Area said he is coming with the private sector background into public administration to make a difference. He is the chairman of Cross River State Internal Revenue Service.
“I am eminently qualified to sustain what Governor Imoke is doing because where the state is now requires somebody with the mindset and capability to blend public and private sectors experience. I have been an insider all this while given my chairmanship of IRS. For us, we believe that continuity, capacity and good governance is the key.
“I have been consulting on my ambition since last year. I am not in the race because the ticket has been zoned to the north but because what Cross River needs now is a bridge builder who can guarantee peace, stability and development. And there has been tremendous goodwill and support for my aspiration across the three senatorial districts. I have the courage, humility and integrity to govern our dear state.
“I have maintained a wonderful relationship with all segments of society and political players which puts me on the pedestal to win the support of majority of the people in our party and the state,†he said.
Meanwhile the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Larry Odey; Mr. John Ode, Mr. Ishang Tanko, Mr. Legor Idagbo, Commissioner for Works and Joe Abang are still consulting and are yet to publicly make known their ambition. But the PDP has a big task in picking its gubernatorial ticket for next year’s election without ruffling feathers. All eyes are on the party.

Today I did a little dressing up of the inside window frames on the cabin. This is what they looked like unfinished.
Although they were framed and didn’t leak they weren’t very pretty. So I made use of the 1 x 4s I had left from when I took the shelving out of the original shed. A little measuring, cutting, routing and painting and this is the result.
Two curious bruins were exploring the homestead this morning. One looked in the the window and said “somebody has been sleeping in my bed”.
After reviewing the video I believe what I thought were two yearling cubs was really a mother and her yearling. The bear who stayed back in the woods appears a bit larger than the one who came to the door.
Not really a composting outhouse. This basically an outhouse with a removable holding tank. The outhouse is designed to moved forward on skids after the back panel is removed. This allows the storage tank to be removed for composting and a new tank put in place.
The storage tank is just a 55 gallon blue poly drum. It is partially buried but can easily be pulled out.
The outhouse has been built but is not in use. I am not sure of the township and state legal requirements so I am currently using a portable camping toilet. I hope to replace the tank on the outhouse with an incinerating toilet which I’m sure is legal and does not need inspection. Composting toilet are also legal in Pennsylvania but most likely require inspection. The blue tank does not even have a hole in it yet. But it looks cool. When I permanently move here I will take care of residence legal requirements. At this time the cabin is actually still just a fancy shed.

Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is a non-psychoactive, chemical compound found within the cannabis (hemp) plant. This means the CBD captures all of the therapeutic benefits of the plant without the intoxicating effects (from THC compound).
Cannabis plants contain many different beneficial compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Cannabinoids, commonly known as CBD, are well known for their therapeutic effect. Whereas terpenes are known for their calming effect. Flavonoids are the chemical compound that has been linked to anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective properties and even as cancer preventative.
Full spectrum CBD contains all of these wonderful compounds, which is why we use it in all of our products.
The science behind CBD suggests that the therapeutic effects are stronger when combined with other cannabis compounds, including terpenes, flavonoids and other known cannabinoids. Scientists refer to this as the entourage effect. Studies show that full spectrum CBD products may amp up the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits of CBD more so than other forms of CBD.

Data vaulting helps Whether you own a business or not, you have information on your computer that you do not want to lose. Many reasons could cause loss of important documents and pictures. Viruses, theft and hardware failures are just naming a few. In order to protect your important information, you may consider data vaulting. With this process, you send your important information to an off-site company. It is stored and encrypted to keep it safe from threats. Sterling Data Storage is a company that deals with online backup. They offer personal and business backup services to give you peace of mind. They use the same type of encryption methods as financial institutions to ensure the utmost security with your important information.
Preferred Data Vaulting
The data chosen for data vaulting is first encrypted while still on your hard drive. The secured files are then sent to the data center and remain encrypted throughout storage. You still have access to your files; they do not remove the information, but simply store it in case there is a problem. They use quality enterprise-grade disks to help prevent disk failures. The data is also stored on many disks and drives just in case one of the drives fail. This rarely happens, but it is one of Sterling Data Storage’s unique protection strategies.
Protect Information With Data Vaulting Software
Sterling Data Storage’s centers are protected by professional security teams and are guarded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will have peace of mind knowing that the important information you need to run your business is being protected and secured at all times. It is important to have a data vaulting company in your corner. You do not know when something might happen that will ruin your hard drive and you do not want to lose all of your important data. Our center has an uninterrupted power supply and is temperature controlled. They use back-up generators for power outage events.
Secured Data Vaulting Services
Generally, vaulting is done by businesses. They have the potential to lose a lot of money if they lose client information. They may be completely unable to do their jobs, and can lose money and clients. They could even be fined or have legal action taken against them. However, even those who do not own businesses can greatly benefit from these services. Chances are, you have pictures and music stored on your computer. These types of files can also benefit from an online backup company. What would happen if your computer received a virus that could not be fixed or if your hard drive was damaged because of power surge or natural disaster? Many times, the memories stored on the computer cannot be recovered.

Sting was in Tuscany when he gave this concert in a courtyard there, beginning at nine in the evening, Italian time, September 11th. The show was scheduled as a two-hour Webcast; however, Sting chose to transmit only one song — his hymnlike classic "Fragile" — after he and his multinational crew learned of the events in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. The rest of this vividly played, authoritatively sung show was committed to tape, and it pulses inescapably with the aura of its real-time date. The music thrives from "Fragile" on, through a sly, funky "Hounds of Winter" and a "When We Dance" that delivers soulful freedom within a classical structure. This is music filled with mood and memory, refined yet raw with emotion.

Providence To Open High School Devoted to Community Service
The Providence school district plans to use a $500,000 gift from a Rhode Island philanthropist to open a high school devoted to community service.
The school would apparently be the first in the nation to be centered around service-learning, its planned opening next February coming slightly before that of a similar school in New York City.
Arthur Zarrella, the superintendent of the Providence schools, said the school, which will eventually enroll 400 students, will be based on the values of compassion, initiative, leadership, integrity, and service.
He said the school--to be named the Feinstein High School for Public Service in honor of its benefactor, Alan Shawn Feinstein--will offer a rigorous interdisciplinary academic curriculum, be ungraded, and allow students to work at their own pace.
"I think a high school like this will give young Americans a chance to strengthen those attributes [such as compassion and integrity] in a way that can help them better the lives of others,'' Mr. Feinstein, a former teacher, said last week. "It's going to better their own lives, too.''
The school board gave its unanimous approval to the project's concept last month.
Officials need a commitment of $300,000 in district funds to help pay for the school's first semester. The project budget is expected to be $800,000 for the first full year and to increase by the third year to $1 million, Mr. Zarrella said.
The $500,000 from Mr. Feinstein, a businessman and newsletter publisher, is to be spread over three years. Officials said they plan to raise private funds to help offset some of the projected costs to the district.
Mr. Zarrella said he was optimistic that the school board would allocate funds for the school.
The school will not resemble a traditional high school, Mr. Zarrella said, but instead "reflect everything current research, current gurus are saying should be happening.''
One such expert, Theodore R. Sizer, an education professor at Brown University, was a member of the school's preliminary design team, Mr. Zarrella said.
The Feinstein school will not be part of the Coalition of Essential Schools, the network of reform-minded high schools headed up by Mr. Sizer, Mr. Zarrella said.
But, he said, Mr. Sizer was "very instrumental'' in the school's development. "You'd definitely see a Sizer handprint on it,'' he added.
The Public Education Fund, an independent, nonprofit organization devoted to school improvement, shepherded the concept's development, which was underwritten by a $25,000 grant from Mayor Vincent A. Cianci, and assembled the planning team of teachers.
The high school project is not the first funded by Mr. Feinstein to link young people and community service.
Among other projects, Mr. Feinstein has offered $25,000 over five years to each high school in the state that will institute a community-service curriculum, said Edward Dambruch, the executive director of the Feinstein Foundation.
Last summer, 18 high schools received the grants, and those programs got under way this fall.
In addition, Mr. Feinstein has endowed a $2 million scholarship fund for students interested in careers in community or public service or who espouse the values of compassion, leadership, initiative, and integrity. The first awards--$10,000 each to 15 students--are to be made this spring, Mr. Dambruch said.
The Feinstein School is to be organized around three levels of student proficiency, with advancement based on performance-based assessments.
One year would be spent in each of the first two stages of the school, "Exploration'' and "Mastery,'' and about two years in the third level, "Major,'' Mr. Zarrella said.
In the School of Exploration, he explained, students will become familiar with the goals and purpose of the school and be instilled with a set of core values that will be stressed in each of the course offerings.
The School of Mastery will expose students to increased community responsibilities and tougher coursework, and in Major, students will focus on community placements of their choice and more advanced classes.
Instruction will be divided into three divisions, scheduled as large daily time blocks: issues, ethics, service, and community studies; humanities; and technology. Writing instruction will take place across the curriculum.
In addition, both the school day and year will be longer than is standard, with a summer term of from three to five weeks planned.
In September 1994, the New York City school district is planning to open a high school focused on community service. The nearly 1,000-student school will have a curriculum designed and run by Audrey Cohen College, formerly the College of Human Services, and will use that institution's distinctive "purpose centered'' system of education, said Audrey C. Cohen, the president of the college.

I got a raise as well as promotion at work, but I had to transfer out of my hometown.
I was living in the Southeastern section of the country where the summer time un-even temperatures are hot as well as humid as well as the Wintertide afternoons are cool as well as mild! When I gained the promotion, I had to transfer to the Denver location of our supplier.
I knew the weather in Denver would be much strange than the weather in my hometown, and as soon as I moved to Denver, I started thinking about the right type of heating device to keep myself and others warm during the Wintertide months. I had a brand new gas furnace installed in the beach house that I purchased. I was genuinely upset about the cold temperature. When December started, I was surprised by the mild un-even temperatures. It was much colder than a correct Wintertide morning down south, but it was not as chilly as well as chilly as I anticipated. I was upset about hating the beach house as well as staying warm, but I legitimately didn’t need to worry that much about the Denver Wintertide un-even temperatures, there isn’tmuch snow unless you travel to the genuinely high altitudes in the mountains. Those venues often have snow fall multiple months out of the year. Fortunately, Denver has a much milder climate than some of the higher elevations. I’ve been living in the town for almost a year as well as I legitimately care about it here. There are a lot of fun activities as well as venues to visit. I’ve only seen a handful of attractions, as well as there are still so many more venues on my list.

I spent my weekend in Naples and absolutely loved the city and its shabby beauty. Hysterical safety warnings before my trip were highly exaggerated. Well I do believe the criminal rates are high and wouldn’t walk alone in some parts of city not recommended for tourists but the centre felt safe and reminded me of any Italian city I’ve seen (okay, I saw one street fight but it looked like a cat fight and totally private issue).
I was glad my plane arrived early on Saturday so I had time to walk around a bit. I went to see the square and saw the band on stage. So nice to see their familiar figures, immediately noticed Max, Curtis and Tim from far away! I met some Italian fans and we walked down to the sea to watch the beautiful view. A huge thank you to Eugenio who took time to show me the castle and told about Naples, he is such a kind person! We took a traditional photo together, see it above. I wish I could have seen Vesuvius as I find volcanos extremely fascinating and would love to see it some day. A bigger group of fans met later on Saturday to eat original pizza Margherita and I can’t eat pizza but had lovely gluten-free sea food spaghetti instead. Very much enjoyed meeting people from so many different countries.
I went to the venue next morning to meet the others and not sure what I exactly had in mind (a lazy picnic style fan gathering in front of the stage while waiting for the gig…?) but it didn’t happen. The place started to fill early in the morning and as there was no proper queue at all – only a crowd – people were just let in and the places in the few first rows were quickly taken. I managed to have a great first row spot but noticed soon that it would be very hard to keep it. Everyone was pushing (quite aggressively, actually) and people were so close to each other it was difficult to even breath. I saw it was not possible to leave our places without losing them and that buying food or going to the toilet was not an option during the day.
We used all our strength to keep our places (I bet everyone’s muscles are hurting!) and it felt uncomfortable but I’m used to festivals and big crowds and just took my space and waited everyone to calm down which will always happen until the moment Mika starts when people get excited again. I don’t think people around me were pleased with me either, I’m stronger than I look. The situation did calm down and I survived through the day easier than I thought in the morning. I really wanted to see the show and was later happy that I decided to travel and didn’t let the huge crowd to keep me away. Maybe it’s just me but I think life is more adventurous if we tolerate some discomfort and sometimes it’s just worth to pay the price.
It was really disappointing though that a huge free concert like this was organized with such poor security arrangements. There were a few “security men” during the Mika show but a young boy we asked for help and instructions when people were seriously afraid to get hurt at front in the morning told us it’s not his problem and that his job was only to keep the stage safe. I’ve seen numerous big festivals and events and this is not the way things should be done, it’s important to keep the audience safe as well.
Waiting at events and festivals is easier if something is happening on stage during the day. I loved the hosts and the party band entertaining the audience before solo artists (they were actually quite good and I enjoyed the hits they played) and found a female artist called Arisa a surprisingly good singer (even I naturally didn’t know any of her songs). Everything was filmed on screens and between songs and Nutella adds/films we could watch ”kiss cam” and ”dance cam” which meant that people who were filmed were supposed to either kiss or dance and most people joined the fun. I kind of forgot that everything was streamed via internet and feel embarrassed thinking people could watch us during the whole gig and before it (I must have looked as exhausted as I felt, lol) but I got some lovely worrying and supporting tweets, thanks everyone!
We didn’t get any Nutella (I think they gave out Nutella at some stands but wasn’t possible for us to queue for it) and I was craving for it during the whole day while watching Nutella pictures and adds. Just before the gig some Nutella and bread were offered to the front row, they smelled heavenly – I couldn’t eat them but was happy for my hungry friends – and I’m tempted to have a another Nutella party at home. We heard some familiar pre-gig music after 9 pm and finally the stage was ready for Mika, the band took their places and the Origin of Love intro for the gig started. Mika appeared on stage in his new red pattern jacket and started Relax and I loved the moment and had waited it for a long time and thought it’s always worth traveling and waiting.
About the show. Everyone was able to watch it online and it’s possible to see the songs here (thanks to Berenike for uploading it) so I’m just writing a few thoughts about it. First of all, Mika had invited Chiara as a guest and I love their version of Stardust and was pleased to finally see them performing it live! I would have preferred the original version of Origin as its an important song for me and I had looked forward to it and was a bit disappointed to miss it. I understand Mika wanted to give her time on stage though and I didn’t mind she joined to Lollipop which is more like a party song and not personally important to me.
I loved watching the concert. It was amazing to see him on stage after all the waiting! The sound was poor, and even I could see his strong usual self during some songs I thought several times that he needs to practice and sing and perform more. He was still smiling and it seemed he had genuinely missed performing and long breaks without any extra time to practice/prepare are expected to be seen and heard so I didn’t mind. The audience was massive! I read 60 000 people came to the square. He didn’t take as much contact with the big crowd as I’ve sometimes seen him doing but he chatted a lot in Italian (I naturally couldn’t much understand, thank you so much to Iola who patiently translated me during and after the show!).
A couple of videos I took below to show how it all looked from my point of view (Stardust and Underwater). As you see it wasn’t easy to hear their singing, I took the vids with my mobile but they give a realistic example of the sound (and the screaming audience, lol!).
I cried a little bit during Happy Ending and I don’t think I was the only one. It’s hard for fans that every new event is a new ending and I can’t help but thinking he needs a strong new start because what was there is not enough in the future. I read a translation of an interview he gave before the Naples gig (where he says he doesn’t care about success) and I hope – from a bottom of my heart – that there won’t be too much pressure from his record company and that he will use as much time as needed to make the new album look and sound exactly him and creates music that tells what he thinks and how he feels at this time and age because doing a new album only to use the publicity created in France and Italy is the worst option I can think atm, I think he needs something he can be genuinely pleased with, something important and interesting enough (for him) to use as a material (for example for a new show concept). I often sound impatient and I admit it’s difficult to wait for new tours and shows but – rationally thinking – he should take his time.
Just my thoughts. Each of these new endings are somehow bittersweet experiences. I LOVED seeing him on stage again. There’s nothing I rather watch, there’s nothing that gives me the same energy. I prefer televisions shows and random festivals over silence/nothing at all but it takes always time to get over another ending (however, I will be here waiting). A few less emotional comments. It was so good to see the band again!!! I took a few pics. Awww, see Curtis below. And Tim. And them all. Loved Mika’s new boyish haircut. Very much enjoyed our meetings with Italian fans on Sat/Sun/Mon and eating gelato. I met and chatted with awesome people! Thank you everyone, you know who you are. Good memories. xxx

So Esther was in town for a few days, so we arranged a day to hang out with her. The zoo! It was so crowded with field trips and families, but we had a good time!
This is Emerson's third trip to the zoo. She actually looked around
Olivia loves to carry around the maps at the zoo. Always looking out to make sure I know where I'm going. Where would I be with out her!
Then it was Aaron's birthday! We had a good day. Aaron and I tried to go swimming, but we were unsuccessful in our endeavors. Instead we went to his favorite garden shop and bought all the fixin's for a cactus garden!
We had a great day, and, even though I'm late in posting about your birthday, I still love you...you cute ornery man.

Cape Town shopping options invite you to endlessly browse. Elegant shopping malls such as the Victoria Wharf at the V&A Waterfront, where antique shops, craft markets, flea markets and art galleries abound. Specialist boutiques offer an enticing array of unusual items not readily obtainable elsewhere. Gourmets and lovers of fine wines have a treat in store, with the Constantia Winelands producing some of the finest wines worldwide.
There is a narrow coastal plain stretching some 250 km from the town of George in the west to the eastern limits of the Tsitsikamma Mountains. This is known as the Garden Route. The traveler will traverse a region where nature has bestowed her many riches with a generous abundance, so that the "garden' can be likened to Eden! Because the climate is mild and enjoys all year rainfall the countryside is always green, and there are always flowers to be seen alongside the road.
Primordial forests still clothe the slopes of the mountains and the deep valleys of the garden route. The coastline is sheer with outcrops of different rock types interspersed with small bays and occasionally long stretches of beaches. Whales, especially the Southern Right and the Pigmy, visit these shores in summer and calve in the calm waters of Plettenberg bay. Dolphins can be seen all year round along the coastline.

Just one comment.....Why??
ummmm ... why not? :)Actually, Travis's work sent us Omaha Steaks for Christmas, and it was packed in dry ice. I remember as a kid (heck, even as an adult) thinking dry ice was just about the coolest thing known to man, so we dunked it in water and all played with it for hours.
That makes me want to order Omaha Steaks just for the dry ice. But then, there are easier and cheaper ways to get dry ice, aren't there? LOL!

An Afternoon in Beaverton
After morning meetings or events are over, and you have an afternoon free to explore, check out what Beaverton has in store for a few hours of discovery.
Start your exploration with lunch at Watson Hall, one of downtown Beaverton’s premier eateries. From hearty sandwiches to healthful salads, Watson Hall features a menu chockfull of variety, and a beer and wine menu to match. While there, order the polenta fries, a crispy delight served with a side of gorgonzola butter. Open for lunch, Tuesday-Sunday.
Next, walk off some calories at Tualatin Hills Nature Center, which features 222 ecologically diverse acres of habitats including ponds, creeks, marshes and forest that can be explored via 4.5 miles of trails (including 1.5 miles of paved, accessible trails for all abilities). The park is open daily, from dusk until dawn and admission is free.
After a brisk walk, treat your brain to a little stimulation at Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing. This smaller version of the famous Powell’s City of Books in Portland offers a more digestible experience. Whether you’re an aficionado of fiction, memoir, or graphic novels, you may find the newest release or an out-of-print copy for your collection here. Powell’s is open daily, and parking is free.
Finally, cozy up to the bar at the Westgate Bourbon Bar and Taphouse for a tasting flight of beers. The tap list changes daily and features more than 50 beers and ciders. Sample the newest brews from Little Beast Brewing, Beaverton’s only brewery, which is located adjacent to the Westgate.
Have a couple of hours to kill in Beaverton? Here are some ideas that will give you a taste of what Beaverton has to offer.
In Beaverton, there are so many options for families with kids, or for adults who want to relive the fun of their childhoods. Spend an afternoon in Beaverton, where being a kid has its perks.
The unincorporated city of Aloha (pronounced a-low-uh), and its next-door neighbor Beaverton, make for great bedfellows for a Tualatin Valley weekend.
Listening to live music as part of your Tualatin Valley experience is, in a sense, a true trip for the soul.
The upcoming three-day weekend is the perfect excuse to take advantage of greater Portland events in the Tualatin Valley.
As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. And those flowers will be wild ones at that. One of the benefits of Oregon’s lingering winter weather this year is that it may create a more elongated wildflower season.

18 Apr Handling Smoke Damage after a Fire – Getting Soot and Smoke Out
Your insurance agent will refer you to EMERG-NC Property Rescuers. We can provide hints to prevent further damage, help determine which items can or cannot be refurbished, and provide estimates and services for thoroughly cleaning and deodorizing your home. Their services can be expensive, but the cost may be substantially less than the cost of replacing damaged furnishings and floors.
Preventing Further Damage
In the mean time, you can minimize further damage by following these guidelines. Be sure you have permission from your fire marshal to safely re-enter your home before doing so. Get the air moving. Open windows to ventilate areas. Install a fan to circulate air. Note: if there has been substantial water damage and the weather is warm, you will probably need to keep the windows shut and run a dehumidifier. In cold weather, your heating system is operating and the cold air will usually help remove the moisture. In this case, change your furnace filter daily until it shows no soot. Dry wet items as soon as possible. Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry carpets and draperies. If not thoroughly dried, carpets and floors underneath may be quickly damaged beyond repair by mold and mildew.
Remove brass and copper items and clean them using brass or copper cleaner (smoke can etch brass or copper in 24 hours).
Place aluminum foil or plastic food wrap under furniture legs. Remove oriental rugs or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting.
Cover dry, clean items with plastic while repairs are in progress.
Removing Soot from Household Textiles
Soot is oily and easily stains carpets, draperies and other household textiles. For this reason you must remove it before you attempt to clean or deodorize items. If possible, hire a professional restorer to remove soot with a
heavy-duty vacuum. If you don’t plan to hire a professional, you can remove some soot by holding a vacuum cleaner nozzle slightly off the surface of the item. Do not use vacuum attachments or an upright vacuum because the brushes tend to force soot into fabrics. Cover carpets after removing the soot to keep other soil from being tracked in during clean-up.
Removing Smoke Odor from Textiles
Smoke odor may remain in clothing, upholstered furniture, carpets and draperies unless they are properly deodorized before cleaning. Professional assistance is recommended.
Consult EMERG-NC and/or dry cleaners about using “counteractants,” chemicals or additives that break up smoke molecules to eliminate odors. The type of counteractant used will vary with the type of material burned in the fire. Counteractants may be professionally applied to furniture, carpets and draperies. EMERG-NC also may provide them for laundering clothes.
EMERG-NC sometimes uses hydroxyl generators or ozone treatment to break up smoke molecules and eliminate odors. If the process is done in the home, items are put under a tent while a hydroxyl generators or ozone generator is operating.
Keep in mind that most household deodorizing sprays and disinfectants provide only temporary relief. In addition, deodorizing sprays may interact with smoke odor and create an additional odor.
If you are unable to have clothing or similar textiles professionally treated, try one of the following methods:
– Dissolve one cup of dishwashing detergent—the type used in an automatic dishwasher—in one gallon of warm water. Completely submerge the items and let them soak all night in your washing machine or bathtub. Drain and launder as usual the next day.
– For items that can be bleached, mix 4 to 6 tablespoons trisodium phosphate (available from your hardware store) with 1 cup Lysol or household chlorine bleach and 1 gallon of water. Add clothes, rinse with clear water and dry.
Cleaning Furnishings and Clothing
After deodorizing, it’s time to clean household textiles. Take nonwashable clothing and draperies to a dry cleaner for traditional dry cleaning or a special cleaning process.
Wash regular clothing in warm water with a liquid detergent. Several launderings may be needed.
Have carpets cleaned twice—both before and after repairs. Wet carpets must be dried before cleaning. In some cases, removal of carpet is necessary for complete drying and to save the wood floor
Cleaning Soot Stains from Walls
If possible, use a chemical sponge available from a cleaning supply company or some other non-water-based cleaner to clean soot from walls.
Paint thinner or rubbing alcohol may work, but use with caution because of toxicity and fumes. Wear rubber gloves, open all windows and use an electric fan to increase ventilation while working. Do not use a water-based cleaner on plaster walls. It will cause the stain to bleed into the wall.
Removing Smoke Odor from the Home
During a fire, smoke can permeate walls and other surfaces and drift through household ducts, where it becomes trapped. If not properly removed, smoke odor reoccurs from time to time, especially during warm or damp weather.
Consult EMERG-NC about a process known as “thermal fogging.” This warm chemical fog penetrates your home and walls just as the fire did, neutralizing the smoke odor as it goes.
Consult EMERG-NC about smoke removal from ducts. We may use a chemical sealer to secure smoke permanently to the sides of ducts since these areas, with their joints and crevices, may be difficult to clean with conventional vacuum-and-brush methods. Consider replacement of attic insulation. Insulation may retain

On Sunday, July, 25th 2021, Matthew Tardiff completed the 140.6-mile Ironman Lake Placid in 13 hours, 22 minutes, and 53 seconds. The event consisted of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike, and a 26.2-mile run.
The entire J.S. McCarthy family would like to congratulate Matty on this fantastic accomplishment. His dedication and training over the past two years prepared him physically, but nothing is quite as awe-inspiring as his mental toughness. Matty completed the entire event with a smile on his face, proving that you can do anything you set your mind to with the right tools, training, and dedication.
Way to go Matty! You are a true leader, reminding us all that dedication is always in style!
Matty’s team getting ready for a swim in the rain!

- You are accused of a serious crime and facing a death penalty and must choose between two lawyers : one extremely gifted, very friendly but dishonest; the other less skilled, not so friendly but very honest. Who would you pick? Why?
I choose the lawyer number two (2), although they are less skilled, not so friendly, but the most important thing they are very honest in providing legal services to me as client.
For me, a honest lawyer is lawyer who has high integrity. Its mean certainly that lawyer will be defend the client very good. Honesty lawyer make their clients comfortable, and make the client feel respected.
Where there is a will there is a way, so basically the skill of lawyer could be honed but honest couldn’t be honed. Honestly, reflect that the lawyer be transparent to clients. For example, there is no bad faith in determining lawyer cost, operational fee, and the others fee related to the case. While the dishonest lawyer certainly will only stole the client’s money and may be put the client to the second priority. Quoting from the opinion of former chairman of high court Semarang (Mr. Soegiarto), that lawyers in providing legal services to client must be honest. Thus, the lawyers will fell safe and secure in facing of any kind extreme or light cases.
According to Dictionary of Law, the definition of honest is not lying or cheating. For me, honest is the key to be a succesfull lawyer. As a lawyer Mr. Hotman Paris Hutapea said that never betray a client for money and be a loyal person, it is made him trusted by top conglomerate. No matter how great you are, how high your position and how much money do you have, if you are dishonest person it wouldn’t be a benefit.
In the end, if you want to be trusted by clients be a honest lawyer.
- Would you rather be very successful professionally with only a tolerable private life, or have a great private life but uninspiring professional one ?
I would rather be very successful professionally with only a tolerable private life, cause i have a great private life already. As long as I’m happy at work, I really prefer a tolerable private life. My family would be pride if i were very success professionally and I believe my family would understand with my activities.
I just can’t see myself having an great private life when i know that I’m real down low at my job. I just don’t feel respecting myself for that. For me, success usually means had more money and that provides the means spice up the private life after the career is long gone.
Its hard to have a great private life if you’re successful professionally. The success usually comes at the price of your private life.
I want to be remembered and nobody is remembered as having had great life, We remember people like bill gates, steve jobs and barrack obama were because of their professional success not because of their private live.
