Press release: Kinosmith to distribute I AM BREATHING and FUTURE MY LOVE in Canada
Bloor Cinema will feature I AM BREATHING on film's Global Screening Day, June 21, in aid of ALS Canada
Toronto – Kinosmith picks up I AM BREATHING which has been dubbed "one of the year's most moving films" (The Hollywood Reporter) and just saw its Canadian premiere at Hot Docs, North America's largest documentary festival. The film by Emma Davie and Morag McKinnon centres around 34-year-old Neil Platt, diagnosed with terminal ALS (also known as MND or Lou Gehrig's disease), and his wife and baby son. Audiences from Russia to the United States have been stunned by its honesty and relatability.
Robin Smith, CEO of Kinosmith, said: "The film floored me when I first saw it, and I'm so pleased we can preview the film at the Bloor Cinema in aid of ALS Canada on the film's Global Screening Day on June 21 to further the awareness of this devastating disease. The release is slated for later in the summer."
Kinosmith also takes on Maja Borg's futuristic and poetic essay FUTURE MY LOVE, nominated at EIFF for the Michael Powell Award for the best British film, which screens in Hot Docs' Rulebreakers and Innovators section. It's centred around nonagenarian futurist Jacque Fresco's ideas about a resource-based economy. The film has been critically appraised as "Adam Curtis meets Star Trek" (Mark Cousins) and is screening widely in festivals, from Poland to Mexico.
Robin Smith said: "FUTURE MY LOVE is one of the most thought-provoking films I have come across – it's a touching meditation on the future and why we don't change. It deals with big ideas from a very personal perspective – exactly what we need right now."
Sonja Henrici, SDI's producer, said: "Kinosmith seemed like a perfect fit for us. We're proud to be on Robin's excellent distribution slate and to be out in cinemas in Canada. We have very ambitious plans for our Global Screening Day and innovative online distribution. We're adding new venues and countries every day."

Junya Watanabe Man offers this Bandana Print scarf, legitimately allowing you to wear this pattern once again. Yeah, we’re talking to you, guy who spent his teens with one tied around his forehead in an ill-judged homage to Axl Rose. Behind you is that other guy. The one who attempted the neckerchief then realised his neck/head proportions meant he looked more like a stewardess. This substantial alternative is 100% wool and will work with just about anything; work garms, weekend garms, indoors-wear, thanks to the understated shade of blue and subtle paisley pattern. Goodhood has them.

Electricity generating solar façades have been very popular with planners and architects for years. For example, GEWE-sol® PV from SCHOLLGLAS contributes to the optimisation of a building's total energy balance on the one hand, and makes it possible to integrate products economically into architecturally demanding properties on the other hand. Custom made elements are available in many design variations in order to support the individual architectural style of a building. In addition, the glass laminates – with a suitable design – can be used as a sun protection system or have a thermal insulation effect.
However, those aesthetic electricity generators are not only outstandingly well suited for use in the building shell. Increasing energy prices also make the solar glass modules interesting for boat and yacht building, for example, where resource protection and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important. Innovative shipyards and designers are currently working on new drive technologies, materials and shapes for a climate-friendly life on-board.
The Italian shipyard Arcadia is setting new standards in the development of more environmentally friendly boats. The yachts of the same name, Arcadia 85 and Arcadia 115, stand out not only because of their angular look, but also due to almost complete glazing of the upper deck. That way, passengers enjoy a clear view of the water. To protect them against the summery heat, the vertical side glazing of both yacht models is designed with GEWE-therm® insulating glass. It provides combined protection against heat and the sun.
On the other hand, GEWE-sol® PV was used for the horizontal glass roof areas, also as insulating glazing. The monocrystalline, black, high-performance solar cells that are integrated into the glass elements are elegant and also fulfil
two tasks: Due to their semi-transparent placement, the PV elements provide shade in the interior, while they simultaneously provide electricity for on-board consumers and for the hybrid drive. Since the modules are supplied ready-to-use, they are easy to install. The electrical connection is concealed in the edge area of the laminated glass panel. That way, the elements can be connected in an optically appealing way.
By choosing GEWE-therm® and GEWE-sol® PV, the yacht builders at Arcadia selected high-performance products from SCHOLLGLAS that create lasting comfort on-board and highlight the unusual design of the luxurious ships.

SingleHop, who in October went skydiving to celebrate a 19.5% revenue increase over the second quarter of 2009, came joint first by responding to all of Netcraft's requests. SingleHop's main site runs PHP and uses Apache on Linux.
Acens joined SingleHop at the top of the table in October. This is the second time Acens has been in the top spot this year, the other being in March. Acens is a Spanish hosting company that was set up in 1997. Like SingleHop, Acen's website is powered by PHP on an Apache sever and Linux operating system.
INetU narrowly missed out on first place this time, but has been in the top ten for nine out of ten months this year. INetU's homepage is powered by PHP and runs on Apache. In October's top ten most reliable hosting companies seven are running their website on Linux, one Windows Server 2008 and one FreeBSD.
Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of fifty leading hosting providers' sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
From a customer's point of view, the percentage of failed requests is more pertinent than outages on hosting companies' own sites, as this gives a pointer to reliability of routing, and this is why we choose to rank our table by fewest failed requests, rather than shortest periods of outage.
Further information on the measurement process and current measurements are available.

Just days after Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit was gloating about picking up the banking business of Wachovia Corporation with the blessings and support of the U.S. government, Wells Fargo seems to have snatched the prize away.
The Wachovia board has approved Wells Fargo’s offer of $15.1 billion ($7 per Wachovia share), which does not require government support unlike the Citigroup deal.
We can understand Pandit’s anger. After all, he was going to get Wachovia’s banking business on the cheap with Citigroup paying just $2.16 billion.
Any surprise then that Vikram Pandit a.k.a. desi butcher is frothing at the mouth.
The Wells Fargo deal is a better deal for Wachovia shareholders and taxpayers and involves the purchase of the entire Wachovia Corporation (not just the banking operations) for $15.1 billion.
This is what Vikram Pandit had to say on September 29 (Monday):
The transaction is extremely attractive from a strategic perspective. It will deliver the combined capabilities of two powerful organizations to our customers and shareholders, providing meaningful EPS accretion and downside loss protection.
On October 3 (Friday), the mood had changed at Citi, which put out this statement hinting at a lawsuit:
Wachovia’s agreement to a transaction with Wells Fargo is in clear breach of an Exclusivity Agreement between Citi and Wachovia. In addition, Wells Fargo’s conduct constitutes tortious interference with the Exclusivity Agreement.
….Citi has demanded that Wachovia and Wells Fargo terminate and not proceed with any proposed transaction, any conduct in furtherance thereof, or any other act in violation of the Exclusivity Agreement. Citi has substantial legal rights regarding Wachovia and this transaction.
We doubt Vikram Pandit can do much to stymie the Wells Fargo deal since it seems to be a better deal for Wachovia shareholders as well as for U.S. taxpayers.
Citigroup shares fell 18.44% to $18.35 on Friday.

Use administer account (admin) to log-in OpenStack, go to
Since there has no network configurations now, we need to create a new external network.
The needed network settings are listed below:
Subnet Name: ExternalSubNet
Network Address: 192.168.122.0/24
Allocation Pool: 192.168.122.100,192.168.122.200
Other：IPV4, No DHCP, External Network, Flat Network, Assign to Admin project
Network Name: PrivateNet
Subnet Name: PrivateSubnet
Network Address: 10.0.0.0/24
When creating external network, we can find “Create Network” function under admin/Network/Networks page. Click it and you can find the page to create a new network.
Input the network name and select the project which this network will locate in. Use the settings in the above figure and the result will look like the following figure.
It is easy to understand besides extnet in Physical Network. The reason is that it has already been configured before deploying by the Neutron configuration. After the deployment, it will correspond to Bridge in the configuration.
The second page is the settings of Subnet. We need to provide the corresponding Subnet information here. The Subnet Name can be defined by our need, but other information needs to be consistent with previous environmental information.
After adding the above information and configurations, it will look like the following figure.
The last page is some additional attributes for the subnet. We need to check the following conditions:
- Do not enable DHCP
- Use IP addresses only between 192.168.122.100 to 192.168.122.200
- Do not use DNS
The following figure shows the settings.
The external network will be created after clicking the create button.
In OpenStack, it is really flexible for users to customize networks. In this article, we will use VxLAN in openVswitch to demonstrate. The networks need to be defined early in OpenStack, and it will be a vast project if it needs to be changed.
Now we can log into admin project to check user’s network settings. If you know how to create projects and users, it is recommended that modifying network settings in other projects. We will have other sections to discuss this concept later.
First, switch to Project / Network / Networks label
Click Create Network and insert the above information in Create Network page
Type the customized network name
Here, we do not need to enter Gateway IP. We can use the default value, which is the first IP address. After the network being created, it will be 10.0.0.1.
Leave the allocation pools blank and enable DHCP. Set-up DNS address and click the Create button.
After creating the network, we will be redirected to Networks page. We can check if we create the network successfully here.
Since there has no routers for connecting external networks, we need to move to Project / Network / Routers label to create routers.
Click Create Router button, input necessary information and choose external network.
Check if the router has been created.
Check connecting status.
Check if the type is External Gateway in Interfaces page
We need to specify and connect a subnet to the router here.
Choose a network
Submit, the status of the network will be Down for seconds.
Refresh the page and the status will be Active.
Check if the router gateway works by Ping command.
Now, the network settings are all done. Users can define networks based on their needs. Admins only need to distribute specific float IP addresses to users. The next article will discuss how to upload images (iso files), create virtual machines and log into virtual machines via float IP.
Here are other installation references:

Mapof.it is an online tool that offers a quick and simple way to get maps and directions from popular mapping services such as Google Maps, Multimap, Open Street Map, Yahoo! and Tiny Geocoder. You do not have to visit any of these services, all you have to do is type in the address including your search parameters after the first slash, that is Mapof.it/<my search>
If you want to get a map of Trafalgar Square in London then you need to type mapof.it/london,trafalgar square and the application will take you to that location on Google Maps.
On the other hand, if you need a direction route between London and Liverpool just type in mapof.it/london:gb/liverpool:gb with a slash between locations.
By default Mapof.it will take you to Google Maps, but if you like a different mapping service for getting maps and routes you can easily change the default setting to other mapping service. To do that, simply type mapof.it/set/<code>, anc change the <code> to corresponding mapping service. See below.
* Google (g) – mapof.it/set/g
* Multimap (mm) – mapof.it/set/mm
* Yahoo! (y) – mapof.it/set/y
* Open Street Map (osm) – mapof.it/set/osm
* Tiny Geocoder/Tiny Multimap Route (t) – mapof.it/set/t

December 23, 2015 – Following a two-part public hearing, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) announced today its decision to renew Ontario Power Generation Inc.’s (OPG) Nuclear Power Reactor Operating Licence for the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station (NGS) located in the Municipality of Clarington, ON.
The licence will be valid from January 1, 2016 until November 30, 2025. With this licence renewal, the Commission authorizes OPG to undertake the refurbishment and life extension of the four reactor units comprising the Darlington NGS. The Commission also authorizes OPG to operate the Darlington NGS Units 1–4 beyond 210,000 equivalent full power hours up to the proposed refurbishment outages, to a maximum of 235,000 equivalent full power hours.
In making its decision, the Commission considered information presented at a public hearing on August 19, 2015 in Ottawa, ON and on November 2–5, 2015 in the Municipality of Clarington, ON. During the public hearing, the Commission received and considered submissions from OPG and 281 intervenors, as well as CNSC staff’s recommendations.
CNSC staff will provide annual regulatory oversight reports on the performance of the Darlington NGS and on the status of the refurbishment project and emergency planning, as part of the CNSC’s annual Regulatory Oversight Report for Canadian Nuclear Power Plants. CNSC staff will present these reports at public proceedings of the Commission.
The Commission expects updates from OPG on the status of the refurbishment project following the return to service of each reactor unit. Furthermore, the Commission directs OPG and CNSC staff to provide a more comprehensive update to the Commission on the status of the refurbishment project following the return to service of the first reactor unit or by no later than the mid-term of the licence period. This update will be considered in a public proceeding of the Commission, with public participation. The Commission looks forward to public participation and is of the view that the annual Regulatory Oversight Report for Canadian Nuclear Power Plants and the more comprehensive update to the Commission after the return to service of the first reactor unit or at the mid-term of the licence period will provide opportunities for interested persons to participate in Commission public proceedings.
The Summary Record of Proceedings and Decision and transcripts of the hearing are available in both official languages on the CNSC website at www.nuclearsafety.gc.ca, or by contacting the CNSC. A detailed Record of Proceedings, Including Reasons for Decision will be published on the CNSC website at a later date. The webcast of the hearing is also archived on the same site for a period of 90 days.
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect health, safety, security and the environment; to implement Canada’s international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy; and to disseminate objective scientific, technical and regulatory information to the public.
•The CNSC issued OPG a Nuclear Power Reactor Operating Licence for the Darlington NGS, valid from January 1, 2016 to November 30, 2025.
•Darlington NGS has four operating CANDU reactors, which started commercial operation between 1990 and 1993.
•The CNSC has full-time staff at the Darlington NGS who perform inspections to evaluate operations and to verify compliance with regulatory requirements and licence conditions.
•Darlington NGS’s performance and the status of the refurbishment project and emergency planning will be reported annually in the CNSC’s Regulatory Oversight Report for Canadian Nuclear Power Plants.
•There will be several opportunities during the licence term for the public to participate in Commission proceedings regarding the Darlington NGS facility.

I have been told that I am a kind-hearted, warm individual. I can definitely believe that because I would do anything for my family and friends. Same goes for if I am in a relationship with a girl. I treat them like a princess.
I have a great sense of humor as well. Apparently I am good with impressions because every time I do them, people seem to laugh and say that I sound exactly like the person that I'm impersonating.
If you like what you read so far, keep reading.

How far along:
How big is baby:
The size of a large carrot.
My red or flower leggings with my grey maternity sweater and black FLAT boots is my new favorite outfit!
Still safe from new additions so far.
Heartburn is making sleep a little more uncomfortable. Gia is sleeping late these days though so I get to catch up in the mornings - Yay!
Best moment of the week:
It was a busy week for us! We went to one of Gia's friend's birthday parties on Saturday and followed it up with seeing the Christmas lights at Opryland Hotel. They were beautiful and Gia really loved them! My big mistake was wearing stiletto boots... pregnancy makes it much more uncomfortable then I'm used to. Ugh. Gia got to sit in Santa's lap too!
It snowed this week too! We had lots of fun playing in it...
Thanksgiving with the family was nice too!
Still Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes!!!
None this week.
Bad heartburn makes me have waves of nausea.
Getting worn out!
I think my baby boy had the hiccups on Thanksgiving morning... it was precious!
What I'm looking forward to:
What I'm nervous about:
LOTS of doctors appointments coming up... my fear is that my pregnancy will become so medically managed that they will want to intervene and set off a cascade of interventions. Prayers please...
What I miss:
Having my house organized!

Holiday is coming, holiday is coming; no more morning class, no more lecturers scowl, goodbye lecturers, goodbye lecturers, I am going to spend my jolly holiday.
–Remember this song?
Now that exams are over, what next? Have fun, have fun and have fun.
Well, this is what many do all through the holiday, and eventually have nothing to show forth in the end. Let me shock you, there is more to life than fun.
The holiday should be a period when you desire that you do something productive, add value to yourself and those around, and perhaps build your future.
Let us take together a walk the down road of things that can be done to make the holiday worthwhile.
Let the drums roll!!!
1) INTERNING AIN’T A BAD STUFF: During school session, you must have learnt some theoretical jargon that looks all abstract, and so far from reality. Why not put all those knowledge you’ve acquired into good use by interning at an office that goes in line with your field of study.
By interning, you have a leverage over others who just stop at theory, rather than go practical.
Well, the thought of money will definitely cross your mind in a bid to intern- as per you won’t want to do free work. Anyways, you may not get paid, but you will get skilled.
2) SKILL ACQUISITION: You’re home, and you don’t want to intern, well, there is another way out; learn a skill. In reality, the time we live in, one can’t just afford to be skillless.
Developing a skill now might go a long way later on; you never can tell where you will meet yourself tomorrow.
Skills such as graphic design, photography, fashion designing and many more are really cool, and it can take you to places you never imagined.
3) BOOK IS BAE: Readers are leaders, you know. Develop your brain power by reading books that develop your intellectual reasoning. Lest I forget, the best place to be is in the pages of a good book.
Reading grants you access to information you may never know if you do not open a book. Your mindset and world view is shapened when you live in the world of good books.
4) INVEST IN YOURSELF: Make a life long investment in yourself; no one would. You alone can make yourself a better person .
Do something today that makes you better than you were yesterday. Every second, every moment, and every day counts. INVEST.
5) BUILD YOUR SPIRIT MAN: Saving the best for the last- the bottom of the pot is always sweeter. You can’t go farther than your spirit man can take you.
Let the period of the holiday be a time for retreat, rejuvenation, and refreshing. Grow in the Spirit and grow in grace.
After all, is said and done, the things that matter most are those that count in eternity…
Is your school on vacation? What will you be doing this holiday? How do you normally maximize your holiday?
Share with me below. As for me, reading all along.

Why It Works
- Thinly slicing pork shoulder allows the meat to pick up flavor from the punchy marinade, and speeds up cooking time.
- Setting up a charcoal grill just for cooking skewers makes it easier to produce lightly charred pork that is juicy and tender.
- Brushing skewers with unsweetened coconut cream while cooking keeps meat moist, and creates a sticky glaze on the surface.
If you were to conduct a poll in the United States asking people what comes to mind when they hear the words "Thai grilled skewers," I would wager over 97 percent of folks would answer, "chicken satay." People love chicken satay, and I don't have any bones to pick with their skewer choices. I would also venture a guess that the absence of bone-picking is part of what appeals to a dining public that willed the "boneless chicken wing" into marketing existence. Satay is great, but there are plenty of other Thai options in the grilled meat-on-a-stick extended universe. One of my favorites is moo ping—grilled pork skewers, a popular street food in Thailand.
These skewers are made with sliced pork tossed in a savory-sweet marinade, which balances the saltiness of Thai fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce with the roasty sweetness of palm sugar. Garlic and white pepper provide plenty of bite. Traditionally, garlic is pounded to a paste in a mortar and pestle with cilantro root, but to make this dish more accessible, mince garlic cloves and substitute minced tender cilantro stems in place of the harder-to-find cilantro root. An optional, but highly recommended, pinch of MSG powder (a common ingredient used by Thai street food vendors) gives the marinade a savory boost.
As with my al pastor skewers, I thinly slice pork butt into strips sized for skewering. After marinating a few hours, the pork pieces get threaded onto skewers, bunched tightly together to prevent the skewer from burning and breaking during cooking; the only parts of the skewers that should be exposed are a two-inch handle at the bottom, and just the very tip at the top.
Once the skewers are assembled, it's time to rig up your grill for skewer-cookery. This set up mimics the grilling rigs you would find at street-food kiosks in Thailand. The pork can be grilled directly over the coals, or on top of a wire rack balanced on the bricks.
As the pork cooks, brush skewers with unsweetened coconut cream, which forms a sticky, shiny glaze on the meat while keeping the pork moist as it grills. The skewers need to be turned and brushed continuously in order for the meat to cook evenly, and to manage flare-ups caused by dripping pork fat.
Once the meat is lightly charred and cooked through, take skewers off the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before you dig in. The skewers are great as-is, but you can jazz them up with a squeeze of fresh lime, or, if you're feeling industrious, a batch of dried chili-vinegar dipping sauce for dunking. Nobody will be missing sad takeout satay.
4 medium cloves garlic (20g), minced
2 tablespoons (15g) minced cilantro stems, plus fresh cilantro leaves for serving
2 tablespoons (30g) finely chopped palm sugar (see note)
1 tablespoon (15ml) fish sauce
1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15ml) oyster sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon (2g) MSG powder (optional)
2 pounds (900g) pork butt, in one piece
1 (5 1/2-ounce; 160ml) can unsweetened coconut cream (see note)
1 recipe Thai Dried Chili-Vinegar Dipping Sauce, for serving (optional)
In a small bowl, combine garlic, cilantro stems, palm sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and MSG (if using), and stir until palm sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Freeze pork for 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes (partially freezing the pork makes it easier to slice). Using a sharp chef's knife or slicing knife, slice pork against the grain into 2-inch-long, 1-inch-wide, and 1/8-inch-thick strips. The easiest and most efficient way to do this is to start by portioning the pork butt into 2-inch-wide by 1-inch-thick pieces, and then slicing those pieces crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick strips.
Combine pork and marinade in a large bowl, and toss until every piece of meat is evenly coated in marinade. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 36 hours.
Thread one piece of pork onto a skewer, piercing it through twice to secure it, then pushing meat tightly together like an accordion. Continue threading pork onto skewer, making sure meat is tightly bunched together, leaving no parts of the skewer exposed except for a 2-inch handle at the bottom, and the pointy tip at the top. Repeat skewering process with remaining pork.
Set up grill for skewers, making sure to adjust distance between bricks to the length of your skewers. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly in the channel between the bricks.
Place skewers directly over hot coals, balancing on top of bricks, with handles overhanging the bricks closest to you and the tips balancing on the farther wall of bricks. Using a brush, brush pork with coconut cream. Cook, turning skewers and brushing pork with coconut cream frequently, until meat is lightly charred, and a piece of pork looks cooked through when removed and cut in half, 8 to 10 minutes; if flare-ups occur, move skewers around as needed to get them away from the flames. Transfer to serving platter and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately, passing lime wedges, as well as cilantro and dipping sauce (if using), at the table.
Palm sugar, sometimes labeled as "coconut sugar," can be found at Thai markets, or online. For this recipe, an equal amount of packed light brown sugar can be substituted for palm sugar if you have trouble sourcing it.
Coconut cream is a richer, thicker, more concentrated version of coconut milk. Find it in cans in the same aisle as canned coconut milk. It is not the same as cream of coconut, which has added sugar.

At lunch today I was talking with a colleague. She’s cool; I really respect her attitude towards pedagogy and also like her as a person. But our conversation on the environmental dangers of cows led us to talking about lab-grown meat, which then led to a discussion of whether food grown in a lab is any better or worse for someone than food grown in a farm. And my colleague mentioned that she thought the meat from a lab would not have the same “energy” as meat from a farm.
I blinked. “Energy?” I asked, already fearing the response.
“Yes, energy! You know, how everyone has an Energy, and everyone can feel everyone else’s Energy?”
So this led us into a discussion in which I played the role of Skeptic and she played the role of Believer, where I insisted I can’t believe in “energy” and she related examples: the way you “know” someone is angry across the room; the way you “recognize” people you’ve never met before; clairvoyance; and reiki practitioners.
It’s always a little awkward when you stumble onto these points of contention with people who are more acquaintances than close friends. I am not a confrontational…

Fertilizers help plants grow by adding nutritional elements and texture to the soil in yards and gardens. Although landscape nurseries and gardening centers sell commercially prepared fertilizers, animal dung creates an inexpensive alternative for many home gardeners. Recycling waste products from livestock and poultry saves money and offers a useful way to dispose of large quantities of animal waste. A single cow produces adequate amounts of manure to fertilizer several, large gardens.
Create a compost pile of cow manure. Rake up and haul your fresh cow manure to a large, flat area of soil. Compost requires adequate warmth and airflow to decompose. Place your manure pile far away from wells and sources of surface water used by livestock. Choose a location that does not experience water retention after a rain. Select an area downwind of your home to avoid unpleasant smells while the compost ages.
Use a shovel to turn your pile of cow manure every few days. Fresh cow manure seldom burns healthy, mature plants, but delicate seedlings and small plants may experience fertilizer shock from new manure. Age your cow manure for at least 30 days before using in your garden.
Apply your aged manure to your garden soil. Spread a layer of manure over the soil before planting your garden in the spring. Do not work wet or frozen soil. Wait until the ground thaws and any existing mud dries out. Mix the cow manure into the underlying soil with a garden tiller. Break up and mix the soil to a depth around 6 to 8 inches. Go over your planting site two to three times, thoroughly mixing the fertilizer into the soil.
Place aged cow manure around the bases of shrubs, trees and perennial plants to replenish the nutrients in the soil around these types of plants. Mulch your mature plants with a 2 to 3 inch layer of aged compost to help hold in moisture around the roots. Leave a couple of inches between the stems or trunks and the layer of manure. Placing cow manure too close to plants restricts the airflow around the plants and may increase the risk of molds and other diseases.

Store bought pie dough pressed into my tart pan. I had some chard and cooked Italian sausage left from my Gnocchi on Friday. I chopped the chard sauteed that with some onion and mushrooms. Threw in the cooked sausage to warm. Let that all come to room temp. Whisked together 7 eggs, 1/2 c of heavy cream, and 1/2 c milk. Added salt, pepper and 3/4 c of grated swiss cheese. Baked at 375 for 40 minutes added 1/4 c more cheese on top and baked 10 more minutes or until the center is set. Dinner for tonight and breakfast for this week.

Societies more shaped by the nature of the media than by the content of the communication. All media are extensions of some human faculty.
The global village; we all connected and able to participate without the limitations of time and space. Electric circuitry message is Total Change, ending psychic, social, economic and political parochialism. A place for everything and everything in its place.
We used to go to the factory to work and resume our personal lives after we step out but now work is ubiquitous and permeates into every moment of our lives. It is life and work has been blended into a single concoction, and you are unable to separate them back.
It is an instantaneous world of electric informational media involves all of us, all at once.
So what? & Notes
Applying this to social media Instagram = dominated by edited curation of a person life = simulation of reality = creates a hyperreality = causes depression
Printing as the first uniform repeatable commodity
Print tech created the public. Electric tech created the mass. Public =sepeate individuals walking around with separated fixed pov.
Our official culture is striving to force the new media to do the world of the old
Teach-in = package to discovery in educational processes = new way
Electric circuitry confers a mythic dimension our ordinary individual and group action, Forces us to live myth but we continue to fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.
Television demands participation and involvement = engagement
Information war happening constantly and involving everybody everywhere
Metamedia is the remapping of old media objects into new structures
Data or parameters from old media is channeled into a new domain for manipulation. Eg. using visual to sound then glitched then back to visual
This does not apply to just media but only our bodies too, we can use sensors and interactive gadgets that mapped human interaction or processes. Eg. The works of Afik Rendol using machine-learning algorithm to sort 1.7 million documents to generate an immersive installation
Metamedia object contains language and meta-language - the original media structure and the extension/simulation/amplification
It echoes the McLuhan's Medium is the message; where everything is simply an extension of something else: Thoughts > speech > writing > prints > internet??
Everything has become unified and ubiquitous - there is no linear form of production or consumption. Everything is being churned out and consume at the same time in a radical new way. Internet and media has birthed a collective consciousness of the world

Students of esoteric philosophy must be honest in every aspect of life. This tenet includes issues involving power, leadership and ‘personal influence’.
All subconscious mechanisms of selfishness are subject to Karma and must be known and neutralized as one makes progress in the way to Knowledge.
Theosophists have therefore the duty not to suggest or indicate by subtle means that they have personal access to some “exclusive” and “special” sources of information. This sort of sophistry is a dishonest trick to mislead people into blind belief. The illusion of personal status must be averted.
Any student of philosophy trying to present himself as a sage who knows much better than the others causes harm to his own Antahkarana. However disguised, pride and vanity prevent the functioning of the bridge to one’s own higher self. The opposite feelings of despondency and depression have the same result. The functioning of Antahkarana both needs and stimulates an impersonal sense of equilibrium, as well as stability.
True teachers do not exaggerate the importance of the powers of perception belonging to Initiates. They highlight, instead, the immense possibilities of every pilgrim as long as he makes a sincere attempt to learn by self-devised efforts.
No Saints Above the Law
Naïve researchers may falsely suppose that “there can be no Karma, unless there is someone to produce it or to feel its results”. Such an illusion must be shown as such. The word “Karma” means “action and its reactions”, or “movement in its context”. Karma and its blissful influence are present everywhere, all the time, across manvantaras and pralayas, when the universe acts and when the universe sleeps.
There is nothing outside the law of karma. Swindlers and false occultists will not escape from it. The childish fancy of “saints transcending the law” should be avoided. On the physical plane, even the three laws of Newton are but aspects of the Law. Above present humanity, the immortal masters of the wisdom are humble servants of the Law of Equilibrium.
In 2020, it was not hard to see naïve theosophists writing that “Karma is the adjustment of effects flowing from causes”, as if this was a great axiom.
In fact, karma is also original action. The most important kind of Karma is the new Karma being created in the “present moment”.
While Karma includes adjustment, its main aspect is ever New and, if seen in the human realm, it is connected to each one’s free will. The sense of self-responsibility - the balanced feeling of authorship of what one does, is the golden key to right action and correct reaction.
Karma is a unified field of causes and effects, in which all things and beings constantly adjust to each other and act of their own initiative. They do so in countless ways, with a transcendent variety of rhythms and dimensions of space and time. Karma is an infinite net of interdependent causations.
Karma and Time
As a cycle makes progress, Karma is rather unpredictable in the precise way it eliminates old forms and structures, so as to restore justice, establishing harmony again, and equilibrium.
It has been wrongly said that “Karma is not subject to time”. Karma and Time are essentially one and the same. They are not independent or separate from one another. Karma expresses itself along Time and through Time. One can say that Karma is not limited to conventional external time, yet Time and Karma are inseparable. There is no opposition or distance between them. Saturn, for instance, is both the master of Time and the master of Karma. Action and reaction exist in time, and they are the very substance of Time.
Deluded minds may say that Karma is “unknowable” if seen from the point of view of the average student of theosophy. In fact, Karma is Life itself. Everyone has a degree of knowledge about it. “Our science”, says a Master of the Wisdom, “is preeminently the science of effects by their causes and of causes by their effects, and it is also the science of things deduced from first principle”.
The statement means that theosophy or esoteric philosophy can be defined as the science that enables people to study and know the law of Karma in its dynamics.
Thinking that such a fundamental tenet of philosophy as the law of Karma is “unknowable” constitutes at best a childish fancy and no more. It is in misguided churches only, not in schools of philosophy, that individuals are stimulated to believe instead of thinking, and to consider as “unknowable” the principles that rule the Universe.
The Knowledge of Karma
There is no theosophical purpose in pretending to show a separation between sages and non-sages. The first step to wisdom consists in seeing that unity is more important than differences.
A naïve theosophist might think that the action of Karma can be “calculated” to know it. The science of Theosophy does not consist in astutely calculating anything. The science of Theosophy consists mainly in producing good Karma. Through right action one learns. The best way to “know” the future is to actually build it through wise and brotherly action.
As to the obstacles humanity must face, in Letter Ten of the Mahatma Letters, a master of the wisdom makes it clear that there is no real evil, except the one that is created in human imagination. Ignorance is the real obstacle.
Those who haven’t properly studied theosophy yet may think that “the Karma of this earth and our present humanity began in a past too far back for human minds to reach”, and that investigating its beginning is “useless and profitless”.
The idea is remarkably false and stimulates people to mental laziness. The beginning of this planet is one of the main subjects of “The Secret Doctrine” and a priority for every student of classical theosophy. Each individual reincarnation is intimately connected with the planetary and cosmic cycles and must be understood in their wider context. The study of “The Secret Doctrine” and of the origins and future of mankind as shown in that work is therefore an essential task for those who want to have a knowledge of esoteric philosophy and to understand human karma and dharma.
How Karma Expresses Itself
It is said in semi-theosophical circles that in the life of worlds, nations, and individuals, Karma “cannot act unless there is an appropriate instrument” for its action. In fact, Karma acts all the time through all kinds of “instruments”. Every existing thing expresses Karma, although calling it a mere “instrument” of Karma is not quite correct. On the other hand, Karma will get ripe in its own Time.
There is no radical separation between matured Karma, the Karma one must face by now, and new (or stored) Karma, which is still to ripen.
The process through which Karma ripens, unfolds and actively expresses itself is slow and gradual. However, it has its moments of sudden change and quick transfiguration.
The Karma that is not matured yet has a degree of “scarcely perceived” but real influence on current affairs. A sort of “osmosis” occurs from the beginning.
The Karma Being Planted Right Now
Superficial minds see Karma as something that one must “harvest”. In fact, human beings not only confront the consequences of what they previously did. They also create Karma, or Destiny, and the production of new Karma - as humans act and react - is far more important than the “destiny” they harvest. This is the reason why Ethics and sincerity are essential parts of the science that studies the Law.
Ethics is the art of sowing good Karma.
“Smart knaves” have no chance. No one cheats the Law of the Universe. It is by planting the karma of truthfulness and wisdom that one liberates himself from the painful inheritance of illusion and ignorance.
The Alchemy of One’s Intentions
Probably the most important task of a student, regarding the Law of Karma, consists in improving the quality and nobility of his intentions, on the various levels of consciousness.
The goals of the pilgrim, on the different planes of existence, create the dominant color in his Karma and define the general direction in which he makes progress. As his efforts unfold, a constant alchemy is necessary. He must fearlessly see his mistakes and illusions at all time and transmute them into awareness and wisdom. This is achieved through combining a severe examination of facts and a calm detachment regarding personal matters.
The power and energy of sacred commitments can elevate one’s soul and strengthen his noble intentions.
The physical, emotional and mental instruments of the pilgrim are tools through which he can gradually stop the karmic process of ignorance and accomplish the dharma and duty of learning about the Law. His vehicles of action and perception are both appropriate and limited. They can be improved through the practice of altruistic intention, or they can get less effective through an intention that suffers from moral weakness.
There is no real struggle or opposition between justice and compassion. They are different aspects of the same wisdom. Goodness and severity, discipline and freedom are inseparable factors.
As the student of esoteric philosophy understands Karma, he begins to leave aside the selfishness of those who think too much about their own instruments of action and perception. He starts to forget himself in the work for mankind. In doing so, he naturally learns how best to control and use his own tools, physical, vital, emotional and intellectual.
The very act of adopting a noble cause as the central motive in one’s life will lead to a purification and improvement of one’s several levels of consciousness. The process of learning will not be too comfortable. It will teach the pilgrim in due time all necessary lessons in altruism and discernment.
On the other hand, ‘spiritualized selfishness’ can produce but illusion, for the simple fact that its intention is vitiated and, as a result, its direction is illusion.
On Judging Karma and Life
Ill-informed individuals use to nurture fancies like this one: “No man but a sage or true seer can judge another’s Karma.”
In fact, no one can make a firm decision except through judgment. We all must judge and evaluate actions of people around us and our own actions. Before judging and deciding, however, one must examine the different sides of reality.
Superficial opinion and brainless judgment should be avoided. One must be open to reexamine previous views and judgments. Paul, the Christian apostle, is right in recommending in his First Epistle to the Thessalonians:
“Put all things to the test: keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil” (Chapter 5, verses 21-22).
It has been said:
“Judging is that which we do before making decisions. Every decision is based on some sort of judgement. It is therefore no use to pretend we do not judge people or situations. We do that all the time. However, the idea of judging includes the duty of being just and fair. It provides us with the opportunity of paying attention to facts, a practice which is most beneficial - in the first place - to ourselves.”
The Karma of Cataclysms
Geological and sociological cataclysms express the ups and downs of the moral condition of humanity and passing civilizations. This universal principle is stated a number of times in the Jewish Torah, the Christian Bible, the Taoist “Wen-Tzu”, the “Tao Teh Ching” and other Scriptures. The Mahatma Letters make the issue clear with great precision, and they should be respected as a sacred source of esoteric learning. A helpful text by Damodar Mavalankar is available on the subject.
A Master of the Wisdom wrote:
“When [present humanity] will have reached at its zenith of physical intellectuality, and developed the highest civilization (remember the difference we make between material and spiritual civilizations); unable to go any higher in its own cycle - its progress towards absolute evil will be arrested (…) by one of such cataclysmic changes; its great civilization destroyed (…) after a short period of glory and learning.”
There is no fixed date for that to occur. Meanwhile, the duty of every good-willing individual is to work for the best. Common sense indicates the goal of humanity is to obtain spiritual learning and ethical awareness, while avoiding unnecessary pain.
The suffering that has not occurred yet can be avoided, as the Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali clarify in their book II, aphorism 16. Future pain can be at least reduced. The way to do that is by fighting its causes. The origin of suffering is in spiritual and ethical ignorance.
At any time or circumstances, a pilgrim can remember the Stoic philosophy of Epictetus and perform the right action that is within his limits to do.
The karmic affinity of the pilgrim with eternal wisdom is his best personal safeguard. His understanding of the law of universal brotherhood provides him with the deepest source of inner contentment and bliss.
The article “Four Ideas for a Brotherly Power” examines solutions for the problem of power structures in associations whose goals are altruistic.
See the article “Thoughts Along the Road” in the April 2020 edition of “The Aquarian Theosophist”.
See for instance the articles “The Seven Clauses of a Pledge”, “Commentaries to the Golden Stairs” and “How a Sacred Decision Unfolds”.
The point is examined in Robert Crosbie’s article “Mercy and the Law of Karma”.
From the article “How Best to Judge People”.
See “Human Ethics and Earthquakes”.
From Letter 23-B, pages 156-157, in “The Mahatma Letters”.
Click to read “Doing What Depends on Us”.
The above article was published in the associated websites on 19 April 2020. Several of the popular misconceptions examined in it can be found in the article “Aphorisms on Karma”, by William Q. Judge. However, Mr. Judge cannot be considered their author. Such false ideas are easy to find in conventional religiosity and Judge only adopted and repeated them.
Regarding Karma, consider reading “Immortal Sages Humbly Obey the Law” and “M. C.’s Text on Karma, Annotated”.

The lovely blogger, Emma from Fashion Craze, nominated me for the Liebster Award! It is an incredibly sweet honor to get the chance to let you all know a bit more about me on a personal level. Of course, this is also a great chance for me to nominate some of my favorite bloggers, that totally deserves this award.
I apologize I have not been that active lately, blogging-wise. If you follow me on Instagram and SnapchatAdd me @ JULIANA.CHOW to follow me around, you may know that I have been to London for a university interview, and with that I have had to prepare portfolios and everything that comes with it. Without going into too many details, I will just point out that applying to universities is easier said than done. It is a lifetime decision after all, and that is tough.
With that being said, I am happy to be back and writing for you all again. To start things off here is a quick Liebster Award Q&A for you to get to know me better, and to check out these awesome blogs I will totally recommend for you to go check out.
1. How long have you been blogging for?
I have been blogging on and off throughout all my teen years. I started in January 2011, which is over 5 years ago. Crazy, right? Though it was not until 8 months ago, in August 2015, that I decided to focus full-time on my blog to see where it could take me.
2. Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark though I often get asked about my original ethnicity. To answer that I am partly Chinese, Italian, Danish, Polish and Norwegian.
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
So, in 5 years I will be 25 years old, and I hope to see myself traveling, living life and be happy and healthy with whatever I will be doing at that time.
4. Why do you blog?
I blog to inspire people to live a healthy and exciting lifestyle, stay confident and experiment with their fashion style. At the same time, blogging is a fantastic way to get my thoughts and ideas out into the world, and connect with like-minded people.
5. What is your favorite type of ice-cream?
Green tea, banana or mango sorbet. Don’t make me decide between them!
6. If you could change one thing about your life what would you change?
Even though I have attended an international school, I still wish I had grown up in an English-speaking country, so I would get my accent on point. At this moment, my accent is all mixed up and influenced from my trips to Ireland, England, and most recently, the US.
7. What inspires you?
I get inspired by being around people with passion, talent and who put their soul into what they are doing. I love seeing and meeting people who are raw and do not hide their personality or passions in any way. Lastly, my surroundings inspire me endlessly, which is the number one reason why I love traveling.
8. What is something you can’t live without?
The flexibility to travel, positive people around me, and internet connection.
9. Who is your favorite blogger?
I have many favorite blogs that I love reading! At the moment, my favorite blogger is Kristina Bazan, because her Instagram is fabulous.
10. What are some of your hobbies?
When I am not writing, traveling or shooting for the blog, I like reading, practicing yoga, creative writing, graphic design and playing the piano.
I also love spending time on Soundcloud to find cool deep house remixes. You can follow me on Soundcloud here.
11. Do you want to make a full-time job out of blogging?
Yes, most definitely! I cannot be more thankful of the possibilities that blogging has given me so far, and I will, without doubt, continue on for as long as possible.
- I am turning 20 this year on July 10th.
- My Zodiac sign is the Cancer, which means I am loyal, loveable, spontaneous and creative.
- I have a brother, who is 11 years older than me and teaches ballroom dancing.
- Since I grew up with a big brother, I naturally came to love 90’s video games and sci-fi movies – and by that, I promise you – you will not be able to beat me at Mario Kart, Need for Speed, nor 007 Golden Eye on Nintendo 64.
- I have two cute Bichon Frises – Lucas and Lulu – who just turned 10 and 1 year old.
- If you are dining out with me, you will most likely end up at either an Italian or Asian restaurant. I grew up with Italian and Asian food, so both are very nostalgic to me.
- I eat fairly healthy and I am not picky when it comes to food. Though I do not eat red meat, because of health reasons, so I usually stick to fish, chicken or vegetarian options.
- I will choose chocolate over any kind of candy, any time of the day.
- I may sound as an introvert when I say I love reading, writing and playing the piano, but I promise you, I love socializing with other people equally.
- I have a commitment issue when it comes to settling in the same city for a longer period of time. Life is too short, you know?
- My favorite class in school was Marketing, and to this day, I still know all the analytical marketing models inside out.

And I've got all that I'm allowed
It'll do for me, I'm thankful now
The walls get higher every day
The barriers get in the way
But I see hope in every cloud
And I'm thankful, thankful
I'm thankful, So thankful
I'm thankful, I've got all that I'm allowed.
~ Elton John, "All That I'm Allowed"
(If this post seems vaguely familiar, then you get a gold star for being a loyal Betty and Boo Chronicles reader. Part of this is from a post originally published on Thanksgiving Day 2008.)
Thanksgiving officially became my favorite holiday nine years ago when, just as most people were sitting down to their dinner, Betty and Boo graced us with their presence by being born. They are, of course, at the top of my "I'm thankful for ..." list, along with The Husband and our family and friends.
We had a relaxing morning, just the four of us, watching the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day parade (it's sacrilegious in our house to watch any other) and now football. Not soon enough for the children, we will go over the river and through the tolls to two grandmothers' houses.
After dessert, The Husband and I will depart, leaving the kids that I am thankful for behind to enjoy a fun-filled weekend of decadence with the grandparents. The Husband and I have a wild weekend of Thankfully Reading and Thankful-for-the-DVR-and-On-Demand planned. (We have quite a few episodes of Rescue Me, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, and In Treatment to catch up on.) We don't plan to move too far from our respective perches on the couch, in a house that I am grateful for.
This year more than ever, we as a people need Thanksgiving. It comes at a time when for so many, including us, the walls certainly seem to get higher everyday and barrier after barrier gets in the way. One day isn't going to change that.
For now, for today, I'm thankful that we have all that we're allowed.
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.

BEIJING: The death toll in a landslide that buried a village in southwest China rose to 26 on Friday following the discovery of two more bodies, state media said.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said 25 people were still missing three days after the disaster which struck in Shuicheng county, Guizhou province.
Two children and a mother with a baby — who were unearthed on Thursday — were among the dead, according to official news outlets.
Eleven people have been found alive since the side of a hill collapsed on 22 homes late Tuesday, covering them in thick mud.
CCTV broadcast footage of rescue workers trying to reach survivors on a huge mound of earth, with workers in orange overalls carrying a victim on a stretcher.
Landslides are a frequent danger in rural and mountainous parts of China, particularly after heavy rain, and the country has suffered severe flooding this year.
In August 2017 at least 30 people were killed in two separate landslides in the same rural province of Guizhou.

While the Civil War receives a great deal of attention in South Carolina, the state’s role in defeating the British in the American Revolution is often overlooked. Historic Revolutionary War sites, including battlegrounds, offer important lessons. Three South Carolinians are among those dedicated to preserving and sharing this rich history.
David Reuwer serves on the board of the South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust. He is a founder, with Charles Baxley, of Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution. His car tag reads “Rev War,” and his business card features an image of a 1776 version of the American flag, the Declaration of Independence, and a quote by patriot Gen. Nathanael Greene that states, “We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again.”
When David is not working in his legal profession, he is often writing, reading, or speaking about the American Revolution. Or he is most likely knocking on someone’s door to negotiate the purchase or easement of an actual Revolutionary War battle site. Why? He does not want history to be lost, nor does he desire to see South Carolina only focus attention and education on the “more recent” Civil War.
Charles, an attorney for 41 years, first delved into the Revolutionary War because he wanted to have a better understanding of local history. His library of more than 200 books on the subject rivals David’s. Charles first met David in 2002 on a bus tour organized for the Sumter County Historical Association. They connected on the topic of the Revolutionary War and decided to form Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution, which hosts Revolutionary War Roundtable events — forums for fellowship and sharing that draw hundreds from all over the South.
Doug Bostick is more than a hobbyist; he is a professional preservationist and sought-after speaker on topics such as the Revolutionary War. The executive director/CEO of The South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust, he has written 26 non-fiction history-related books. He says he decided to pursue preservation full-time after seeing a historic site destroyed. “It was a Revolutionary War site in the Lowcountry and was developed into a high-end residential development. Extant resources were destroyed. The biggest legacy I can leave children, grandchildren, and future generations is to preserve these sites.”
Doug, David, and Charles are adamant that South Carolina not be overlooked regarding its significant role in the War for Independence between the Patriots and the British. In sharing an analogy about South Carolina’s historic role, David says, “While the Revolution may have been conceived on the Massachusetts battlefields of Lexington and Concord and its birth certificate drawn up in Philadelphia in 1776, the labor and delivery rooms for the nation were the battlefields in South Carolina.” In other words, he says, “What the Northerners started, it took Southerners to finish.”
With more than 200 battles and skirmishes fought throughout the state, South Carolina possesses a plethora of other historical military sites in addition to battlefields, such as fortifications, that highlight the state’s significant contribution to the United States’ military actions around the world. “The British in particular had a habit of seizing mansion homes, like the Kershaw-Cornwallis House in Camden, as well as churches, and fortifying them or making them into ammunition depots,” Doug says. “They put swivel guns in the windows of homes and fortified around them.”
This apparently happened all over South Carolina. “So many people only think of places like Yorktown in Virginia as where the Revolutionary War was fought, but ‘we have better factual stories that people just don’t know,’” says David, quoting his friend, Doug.
While the public’s awareness is piqued during re-enactments, those events can only maintain historical accuracy through the establishment and preservation of the land on which conflicts occurred. The South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust’s mission states, “For thousands of years, warfare has shaped every aspect of human civilization. Beyond the obvious and direct impacts to history in the forms of the victories and defeats, armed conflict also effects change and development in technology, economic systems, ideology, culture, art, literature, music, and spreads religion to every corner of the globe.”
Thus, the trust’s purpose is “to protect and preserve these historic military sites across South Carolina to not only honor the soldiers who gave their lives in service to their country, but also provide current and future generations a space at which to remember, contemplate, discuss, and learn how our history not only shapes the past, but is also relevant to the present and future of our great state.”
Charles explains that the process of securing battle sites for generations to come is multifaceted. It involves finding them, purchasing them or obtaining preservation easements, researching, interpreting information to share with the public, providing signage and maps, maintaining, and protecting.
“The trick is to find landowners willing to sell battlefields, and then raise the money to purchase them,” he says. Money also has to be raised to erect signage, a monument, or another type of structure.
The time frame to secure a battlefield can take from a few months to a year, says Doug. “There is no such thing as a typical battlefield size. The Battle of Eutaw Springs battlefield in Orangeburg County is about four and half square miles, and the battle took a half a day from beginning to end. We have pieces of that battlefield, but that battle was so large. There are probably 60 property owners that touch parts of the battlefield. I don’t know if we will ever own the whole thing.”
In contrast, the Battle of Hanging Rock battlefield is about 400 acres. “We hope to end up owning all of that,” he says.
Some battlefields are owned by other entities. In Camden, for example, Historic Camden owns much of the Battle of Camden battlefield. Washington, D.C., based American Battlefield Trust supports the work of David, Doug, and Charles. “They work hand in hand with us,” says Doug. “They raise money, but we handle battlefield negotiations as the boots on the ground. They’re a large, extremely successful preservation group. The benefit to them is knowing that vital parts of American history are being preserved. It doesn’t matter to them or to us who owns these places. What matters is that that they will never be destroyed by being built on or becoming an industrial site, for example. Instead, people can learn from them.”
How do they know a piece of land is actually the site of a Revolutionary War battle? They use conflict archeology. “What we are looking for are dropped and fired round balls with metal detectors,” says Doug. “If it’s been a fired round ball, it’s no longer perfectly round. It’s squashed … elongated. If you’re at a battlefield and you find a lot of dropped round balls, that’s telling you that’s where Patriot or British lines stood. They were quickly reloading because their lives were threatened. They fumbled and dropped a lot of balls. The pattern of fired round balls versus unfired round balls tells a story.”
Doug says that people ask him “why” a lot, at which point he refers to a sign that hangs in the Medal of Honor Museum in Charleston, reading: “A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure,” Abraham Lincoln.
“These battlefields are hallowed grounds,” maintains Doug, “sacred places that should be saved. They tell the story of how this country began. And we’ve lost touch with that in such a huge way. I recently heard from someone interviewing young people about why we celebrate July Fourth and less than 20 percent of the people he asked knew. The ones who did not know why offered answers like Columbus discovered America, the Emancipation Proclamation, the start of the Civil War, or celebration of the summer party season. Plenty of people just responded, ‘I have no idea.’”
Education is imperative. Charles believes that the more the Revolutionary War can be shared through literature, letters, papers, maps, plats, historical markers, local tradition, and battle sites, the more history will come alive and become interesting to future generations.
Doug says he looks at these battlefields as outdoor classrooms as the Revolutionary War has stories that involve everyone, including women and children, African-American soldiers, even a whole company of volunteer Jewish merchants. “The Catawba Indians were involved in lots of battles, too,” he says. “It’s crazy how many people don’t know any of this.”
He adds that he especially likes to learn of the unconventional stories. “We are frequently surprised by the units that fought in different areas. We mostly figure that out by finding buttons, which were engraved with their company information. Once we found a button from Rhode Island on a South Carolina battlefield. So we have to research that further. Artifacts lead you to tell the story and to document it.”
These three history buffs are dedicated to the establishment of the Liberty Trail, an envisioned battlefield history “path” through the state. The goal is to focus on 69 battles, with the trail divided into four geographically arranged sections. The trail would be designed so that visitors could cover each trail section in a long weekend.
The Liberty Trail will be connected through a smartphone app, funded by American Battlefield Trust. Doug says the app will include paintings of the battlefields, information and links to key people, and battle details. “People are engineering the app currently. The plan is for it to be available in the spring of 2020 at the latest. Once the app is available, people can go to these sites and see signage there, and they can learn how the battle unfolded and other information.”
Already, though, the Liberty Trail is becoming known in South Carolina. “There are more requests to speak on the Liberty Trail battlefields than we will ever be able to do,” says Doug.
“The Revolutionary War is my favorite subject. It’s fun because it’s who we are, as a peopled government,” says David. “In my lifetime, I hope we will make the Liberty Trail to the Revolutionary War what the Shenandoah Valley trails are to the Civil War.”

I am very much interested with Tutorial F – Test Management: Pick Your Battles.
At times, we do not have a choice to pick our battle.
We are forced into battles of completing the project within the least time scale, with the business aim to push through the product in order to allow the first order coming in, hence start generating avenue (this is the final, collective objective of all).
Hence we are forced into battle, to consider all the constraints, but still delivering the best test outcome.
Very often, the testers do not have ample time to think through the test strategy, but rather pick up the task, and complete as much test cases as they can within the time allocated.
It is lucky if they can continue their testing with the same component and product, hence allow Continuous Improvements day after day, month after month with the product. Eventually turn into an SME (Subject Matter Expert). However, most of the time, the testers are being assigned with different product testing, and there is no sustainable personal development, rather than a collective certain amount of testing years of experience.
We do need a weapon to tackle the battle, at the same time, we need to collaborate with other parts of the organization, in order to stay in sync with them. This other part of the organization, rather than the development team, we need the Product Line, the Designer and the Business Team, to understand our rationale of the test.
Hence, the question that I would like to put forth is:
1. What can be term as a success of testing? To what degree can we announce the test is successful?
Very often, as long as we can push through the order to generate avenue, this is what needed from the organization.
2. Is there any way, that our test analysis can be made understood by the management/business team, hence to collaborate the effort of Continuous Improvement within the Testing Community? This shall enhance the efficiency of the company’s systems/processes.

When it comes to diversity in testing, I automatically think of including more women. But I assume “diversity in testing” can and probably should be interpreted in many ways. Other than the gender interpretation how do you interpret “diversity in testing”?November 1, 2016 at 9:25 am #14148@nicolasa89Only available when logged in
What do you do in your day-to-day work life to improve diversity in testing?November 1, 2016 at 11:37 am #14150@alexschlOnly available when logged in
To add or expand on Nicole’s question: what can we all do on a daily basis to improve diversity ?
– talking about diversity can cause some defensive and emotional reactions (maybe it is taken as criticism, people feel helpless, assessing our own privilege can make us feel uncomfortable… ) . How can we deal with these reactions in a calm way or talk about diversity in such a way that such reactions are minimised?
– whose job is it to promote diversity ? Is it an individual task, something that requires a leader, or perhaps a combination of the two, or something else entirely ?

A cello weeps through the closing
door and I can leave. I flag down the bus,
don’t look up when the Polish driver
makes a joke I barely hear.
I sit alone, with everything crossed,
in an inconspicuous seat,
watching a single drop of rain
dribble a path beside me at this window.
Only then, do I look on the mouths
who move with notes so foreign
they would twist my tongue.
And on the chests who rise to steal
the very air that would fill my lungs.
And on the arms, which lift me,
cradle me and let me
rest. The cello weeps beside
one thousand strings. And
I float on your river of smiles
to find myself home.
This poem was inspired by a competition to write for the Proms season. I listened to a lot of Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor to write this. I don’t have a musical knowledge to fall back on -but I can still write in repsonse to music.
At the time, Brexit was in the news with the rhetoric of ‘them’ and ‘us’, whoever them and us were. I couldn’t see it – all I saw were people, human beings, some with great lives, some with easy lives, but many with lives that they have that take a lot of juggling. And then there are some with such tragic lives that it would be easy to turn from in fear that it might one day it might be your life too.
And yet sometimes those with those tragic lives of which we are afraid, have the most to share with others.

In Dubai, you have a lot of possibilities to relax, entertain, eat and enjoy life. As we had indicated in our top list of things to do in Dubai, going to the Talise Ottoman Spa at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is a must.
As we have been staying at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, we couldn’t miss this opportunity to enjoy this award winning spa, famous in all Middle East for its refinement and level of service.
So, we have spent some time experiencing the multiple services of the Talise Ottoman Spa and as you’ll read, the possibilities are almost endless!
The Talise Ottoman Spa experience
While staying at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, you benefit from a complimentary access to all the spa services. Only the spa treatments require an additional payment. Also, guests not staying at the hotel can order day pass.
There is a spa area for ladies and one for gentlemen. The spa services offered in each area are similar : Turkish hammam, sauna, steam room, sensory shower, relaxation lounge, snow room, indoor salt water pool, jacuzzi, outdoor cabanas and a lot of treatment rooms.
What really amazed me are the overall decoration and the end to end spa experience. Here, everything has been set to make you feel fully relaxed. The spa atmosphere is really peaceful and never really crowded. The staff is discrete and friendly. Then, there are multiple areas so you’ll usually find yourself being alone in one.
The swimming pool and the jacuzzi decoration are incredible, a complete change of scenery. Then I saw there something I hadn’t seen anywhere else and I wasn’t really expecting in a warm place like Dubai : a snow room! Yes a room filled with snow, to cool you as if you were in the North of Europe, when you get out of the sauna. Crazy, isn’t it?
Every area of the spa is very clean. The locker room, made of wood, is really nice and well equipped, no need to bring your necessary toiletries. Everything is available there from the shampoo to the brush.
There are two small shops inside the spa where you can buy beauty products.
About the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
Located on the West Crescent of The Palm in Dubai, the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is a luxury expression of the Ottoman architecture and tradition. From the restaurants to the suites, the spa to the beach, it is all about luxury and exclusivity.
Anybody coming there will experience a complete change of scenery while it crosses the majestic doors of the hotel. Exceptional care has been brought to all the details of the decoration. As you’ll see, a lot of gold leaf has been used to make it shine like a true Ottoman palace.
Beside the Talise Ottoman Spa, the Zabeel Saray includes several restaurants and bars with spectacular settings. Lalezar, the Turkish restaurant, is certainly the best for us. Then, the decoration of the Imperium (French brasserie) with crystal chandeliers and gilded columns is nice to see.
The guest rooms offer a view on the Dubai Marina skyline on one side and the Palm on the other side. They feature a large Turkish bath in every bathroom where you’ll enjoy relaxing.

These are the wall corners of the Refined Estate. Finches tend to rest their feet here, as to cats hiding from the rain. Some cats will even eventually bring their own materials to build themselves a comfortable little home right there, while most homeowners will follow a certain unwritten rule and never chase such gentle animals away.
How to get Estate Courtyard Wall: Harmonious Corner?
Blueprint of Estate Courtyard Wall: Harmonious Corner can be purchased from Realm Depot for 240 realm currency.
After getting the blueprint, you can craft this furnishing using these following materials:

Whenever ecological and efficient logistics solutions are discussed in public and in the industry, so-called 'long truck concepts' are always a topic.
Kässbohrer sees itself as a pioneer and partner of the industry when it comes to future-oriented issues in transport. Some time ago, Kässbohrer has developed a car transporter for operation as a long truck of 25.25 m and successfully established it on the market - due to the legal regulations so far mainly in Scandinavia, but also designed for other target regions.
Following the 25.25 m articulated train, Kässbohrer is now launching another new long truck development on the market in the shape of a 20 m semi-trailer with a load factor of up to 8 cars - instead of the usual 5 to 6 vehicles in the classic semi-trailer concept. In addition to particularly economical and thus also ecological transport, the new Kässbohrer ruslan® SE semi-trailer also offers new technical solutions concerning driver safety - with new operating concepts and a particularly easy-to-handle driver's gangway for even safer loading and unloading of the transporter. And now that all tests and quality inspections have been completed with positive results, nothing stands in the way of the first deliveries of Kässbohrer's new articulated vehicle.

Achieving Work Life Balance as a Small Business Owner
Work life balance is the Millennial MacGuffin. It sits atop a golden pedestal, barely out of reach of us mortals causing all of us to strive and struggle to reach it and claim it for ourselves. But what is work life balance? Why do we need it? What happens if you are able to achieve it? And most importantly is it even accessible to us small business owners who work functionally (and often literally) non-stop?
What is work life balance?
It's probably best if we start out by saying what work life balance isn’t. Work life balance is not working the exact same amount of time you spend living. Work life balance is not loving your job. And work life balance is not feeling content all of the time with your work, your life and the balance between those two major life components.
Work life balance is working enough while living enough. It is getting enough sleep. It is enjoying the way we spend the majority of our time. It is connecting with the people we love, investing time into the hobbies we enjoy and contributing, in a meaningful way, to the society to which we are a part.
Before you throw up your hands in frustration, We know that is WAY easier said than done. We are small business owners. And parents. And spouses. And siblings. And … you get the point. Balance is hard!
That being said it’s September now and this is the time most of us find ourselves drifting more to our lives. Our kids are returning to school (in whatever fashion that is), the holidays are around the corner, the days are getting shorter and most of us are more content to snuggle on the couch in front of some football or a good Batman movie.
We will recommend The Dark Knight every time - but they’re all good. Even Batman and Robin. Yes. Batman and Robin The ice puns are too cool.
This is the time most of us find ourselves wanting more life and less work and reaching ever harder for that MacGuffin. The good news is we believe we can help. We’ve been doing this for a while and we’re all perfectionists over here at The Clever Catalyst and we think we may just have the Top 6 Tips for Achieving Work Life Balance as a Small Business Owner.
Work Life Balance Tip #1: Lower your expectations!
Let’s handle this one right out of the gate, you HAVE to lower your expectations. Progress over perfection. Good Enough is good enough. All that jazz. If you’re a small business owner and you are picturing perfect 9-5 days with long weekends spent without wondering if you sent that last invoice and easy vacation planning, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
But work life balance doesn’t mean a perfect, stress-free life. If you’re taking a weekend off and you’re only measuring success by being able to completely check out, relax and never let your thoughts wander to work, you might as well spend your weekend working.
Keep your perspective.
Work Life Balance Tip #2: Muddy the Waters
For example, right now I’m laying on my rug in the living room on a Friday afternoon that my husband had off because we took our daughter to a school thing. I am writing my business blog and my husband is playing a video game with my daughter on the couch above me. Does this belong in the work bucket for me because I’m doing something work-related? Or does this count as family time because I’m pretending to laugh at my daughter's AWFUL knock knock jokes and interacting with my family?
More importantly, why does that matter? I am as engaged with my family right now as I need to be. And I’m as engaged in this blog as I need to be. Why should I worry about cataloging this time.
When I see business tips about having “dedicated office hours” or advocating for “offices with doors” or “implementing standard working hours” I cringe. That is the opposite of helpful 99% of the time. Spend less time making things feel like they have to be work or life and more time just working and living.
If you want to work all day at a desk in a fancy office in your apartment with your hair done and your nice clothes on, fine! But work life balance can feel a lot more attainable if once in a while you work on the couch in a pair of sweatpants while watching Forensic Files reruns for the 7th time. (Possibly speaking from experience.)
Work Life Balance Tip #3: Know Your Limits
Feeling overworked is caused by OVER working. Not working in general. If you want to achieve any semblance of balance you have to know your limits.
Pop Quiz: You have a headache and you can’t seem to get any fraction of that big project that’s almost finished and you need to finish now according to your block schedule, so you can take Saturday off? What do you do?
Buck up buttercup and get it done.
Take five minutes and get a drink of water before powering through.
Take the rest of the day off and finish the project on Saturday. Or Sunday *gasp*
The only right answer is 3. If you have a headache and you aren’t making any progress, stop. You likely aren’t making any progress and you likely have that headache because you need a break. Breaks are something you NEED. Breaks are not rewards for accomplishing a task triathlon.
If you were to power through I promise you your work would not have been as good as it would have been if you were rested and inspired. Sorry but it’s true. And you force yourself to “work” when you desperately need to “live” so your balance is going to be way off.
Weekends off are a good goal but will finishing one project that was almost finished on a Saturday afternoon really be that bad? Probably not. But it will if you’ve already set yourself up for failure by thinking that if you don’t spend 100% of the weekend “off” then it wasn’t a success.
(See tip #1 again)
Work Life Balance Tip #4: Plan Smarter
Some of you are still thinking about that pop quiz. Some of you are thinking what if that project was due by the end of day? What if I couldn’t push it until over the weekend? Well you, my inquisitive friend, are on the right tip. Part of achieving work life balance is in how you plan.
First of all please don’t ever be working on a task as it is due. That is NEVER a good idea.
When planning your day/week you should always strive to plan it in a way that makes sense for YOU. There is plenty of advice floating around about how to structure your time: block schedules, handling big tasks first, handling only your top 3 tasks in a day (I wish!), small tasks to build momentum, etc. The thing is they are all wrong!
You need to plan your day and time in a way that makes sense for you. When are you most likely to be inspired to handle certain tasks?
You should also never block out your entire day or create plans that are too restrictive. If you find yourself constantly having to rearrange the blocks in your block schedule, maybe that isn’t the right system for you.
As a small business owner you need to be able to pivot when needed. Plan with pivots in mind.
Work Life Tip #5: Work Seasonally
Your work life balance doesn’t have to look the same day over day and week over week. If you have a busy season let that be your busy season. We see so many business owners and working moms giving themselves so much grief because they aren’t able to have the same amount of family time during their busy seasons as they do during non-busy seasons. (Some of those people are us!)
No offense but ..duh!
For example: I have one week of every month that is just bonkers. It’s the first week of every month, the result of a weird cosmic occurrence where lots of big, time-sensitive tasks are occurring at the exact same time. Tasks that cannot be pre-started. In my home we refer to it as hell week.
That week I lower my expectations of family time and me time A TON. I also muddy the waters A LOT, watching cartoons in the evening with my daughter while multitasking the loads of work I have. I also plan with my limits in mind and take loads of tiny breaks. Coffee breaks, exercise breaks, shower breaks, nap breaks. That first week of every month I work like a mad person.
And I give myself 0 guilt. The following two weeks always end up significantly lighter. I take half days frequently throughout those weeks and spend much more intentional time off. My Google calendar of the two week sides by side is almost comical.
I don’t strive to reduce that workload. It’s manageable and I’ve reduced it as much as possible already. Also don’t strive to bulk up the other weeks to match because that would be unsustainable. I simply roll with it and work seasonally. I am busy when I need to be and not when I can be.
Work life balance doesn’t mean giving equal parts of yourself to equal parts of your life. It means feeling like you’re living enough and like you’re working enough.
Work Life Balance Tip #6: Get a Life
If you’re ever going to achieve work life balance as a small business owner it helps to have something you want to do with your off time. Something realistic and enjoyable. (Not weekly European vacations) During your time off you need to be able to lose yourself in something else. Something that takes your mind ( at least partially) off of work. Something that makes you feel like you’re living a different life than when you are at work.
If your only goal on your time off is to be “not working” you’re never going to have any balance. Or any fun.
Work life balance is achievable; it just may require a little creative redefining and a whole lot of perspective. If you truly hate your job and can’t seem to muster any enjoyment from it whatsoever, the problem isn’t the balance it’s the job. If you love what you do but you feel overwhelmed you probably just need to do some minor tweaking. A wise man (Nelson Mandela) once said, “Everything seems impossible until it’s done.”
Just get it done!

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” – Winston Churchill
I just came across this quote on my pinterest feed and NEEDED to write about it!
It’s sooo easy for us (even the optimists) to complain when we face challenges instead of straight away trying to find the good in the bad or think ‘yes I can do this’. However, I think cutting out complaining would be the best thing anyone could do for themselves..And the people we complain to! When we moan about things (even if it’s to ourselves) all we’re doing is prolonging the process, when we could have been 1 step closer to whatever it is that we were aiming for. To conclude this mini rant, I would just like to say: Any challenge we are faced with we CAN get through it and over it – hell we can smash riiiigght through it! Believe in yourself and you will find the opportunities in your difficulties.
I hope y’all had a great weekend! Sometime this week I will be posting a ‘La La Land’ review, so keep an eye out!

An inmate has died while in the custody of Correctional Service Canada (CSC) at the Regional Treatment Centre at Millhaven Institution.
According to CSC, the inmate, John Andrews, 72, died of apparent natural causes. At the time of his death, Andrews had been serving a sentence of 58 years, four months, and 14 days since September 1, 1970. This sentence was the result of Andrews being convicted of:
- Armed robbery
- Escape from lawful custody
- Break and enter
- Possession of property obtained by crime
- Possession of an unregistered, restricted weapon
The inmate’s next of kin have been notified of his death, and, as in all cases involving the death of an inmate, CSC will review the circumstances. CSC policy requires that police and the coroner be notified of the death of an inmate.

FL clubs vote against reintroduction of artificial pitches
The Football League has confirmed that its clubs have decided against the reintroduction of artificial surfaces into the League’s competitions.
Following an unprecedented tied vote by clubs at their previous meeting in Derby in November, clubs considered the matter, once again, at their meeting at St George’s Park last week.
A Football League Spokesman said: “Over the last 12 months, League clubs have debated the issues relating to the reintroduction of artificial playing surfaces on a number of occasions.
“Having considered all the available information, and having heard from relevant experts at last week’s meeting, clubs have reached the conclusion that they do not wish to pursue the matter any further, as a majority of them prefer to play their matches on grass pitches.”

Just goes to prove how insane and ridiculous religion is. To say you need to learn what a religion teaches to know right from wrong when you also say we inherit the knowledge of good and evil genetically is definitely contradicting yourself because if we inherit it genetically we already know it and teaching a contradictory virtue would only screw that up. So if christians believe in the story of adam and eve which they do why would they want to change morality and teach it?
A "magical apple"? Who says it's an apple?
And who says - even going with the biblical story - that man got "perfect morality" from Eve & Adam chowing down on the fruit? As far as I know, their lives got pretty well messed up, afterwards, and that's about it. Were they really supposed to have gotten "perfect knowledge," there?
I would not say that religion is "insane and ridiculous." A lot of people get comfort and benefit from their religion. And, we *all* make unprovable assumptions, at a very basic level.
I'm aware of the negative side of religion too; on individual and group levels I often see the bad effects there. In the end, as far as morality, it's all the same thing - as individuals and as groups we have opinions, whether or not we say they are from our religion or anything else.
The apple was back when God took an active role in running things, so He probably gave it a ton of goodies such as the ability to modify genetics. Also, good and evil and right and wrong are very subjective things. I, for one, use the system Catholicism provides because it works, has worked, and, presumably, will continue to work into the foreseeable future, because it is the culmination of efforts to find a workable system, and as stated before, it works.
However, you're taking an extended metaphor and treating it as though it were literal. Please, refrain from doing this in the future.

FORT WORTH -- A 38-year-old former police officer was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison for killing a mother of two last year when he drove drunk and crashed his city-issued SUV into her car at 76 mph.
Jurors deliberated just under an hour before recommending the maximum sentence for Jesus Cisneros.
He initially pleaded not guilty to a charge of intoxication manslaughter in the death of Sonia Baker, 27, and the trial began Monday.
Prosecutors called 11 witnesses. Then the defense attorneys called their lone witness -- Cisneros.
In 15 minutes of emotional testimony, Cisneros admitted that he broadsided Baker's PT Cruiser after drinking eight beers and four shots of liquor during another officer's birthday party the night of Dec. 10-11, 2009, at the Pour House on West Seventh Street. He acknowledged having a 0.17 blood-alcohol level -- twice the legal limit -- and speeding through two red lights before striking Baker's car about 2:25 a.m. near Columbus Trail and Eveningstar Drive.
Cisneros told jurors and Baker's family that he decided to admit responsibility after recalling the drunken driver who killed Fort Worth police officer Dwayne Freeto in 2006. Cisneros said he helped investigate that case and testified against Samuel Lee Hilburn, the driver who hit Freeto's patrol car, setting it on fire.
"I killed someone, and I take full responsibility for that," he said. "I'm sorry. I did not intend to kill anyone."
After prosecutors questioned Cisneros, 371st District Judge Mollee Westfall asked the jury to leave the courtroom. Cisneros pleaded guilty to the judge. She called the jurors back in, explained what had happened and told them to find him guilty.
Intoxication manslaughter is a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison. Cisneros was eligible for probation.
Relatives take the stand
During the punishment phase, prosecutors Richard Alpert and Bill Vassar and defense attorneys Jim Lane and David Richards called several witnesses -- mostly family members.
Baker's mother, Stella Lopez, said she told her daughter's sons -- then 4 and 5 -- that their mother had "gone to Jesus," not left them as they believed. She later explained how their mother was killed in a collision.
"I didn't tell them that the man was a police officer because I didn't want them to hate the police," Lopez said.
Police Lt. Robert Rangel, Cisneros' supervisor on the narcotics unit, provided the most insight into the behavior that led to the fatal collision.
Rangel said Cisneros was first disciplined after his wife told Rangel that her husband was abusing alcohol and perhaps drugs. Although Cisneros passed a drug test, Rangel said, he had two other policy violations, including allowing a civilian to ride in his city vehicle.
Later, Rangel said, Cisneros was suspended for 15 days without pay and transferred from narcotics to the DWI-enforcement unit after he fired a gunshot into the roof of his car. Rangel said supervisors hoped that dealing with drunken drivers would help Cisneros change his own behavior.
After he was allowed to return to narcotics, Rangel said, Cisneros persuaded fellow undercover officer Eric Martinez to accompany him on an unauthorized investigation of a human trafficking operation.
Rangel reluctantly and tearfully told Alpert that he would not trust Cisneros to follow probation rules.
Probation is what Cisneros' sister, brother and wife asked jurors to assess.
Cisneros' sister, Myra Hernandez, pleaded that he be allowed to return to his 5-month-old daughter.
"We've waited a long time for this baby," Hernandez said.
Family speaks to Cisneros
After the jury returned the maximum sentence, Baker's family spoke directly to Cisneros in their victim-impact statements.
Baker's mother and husband told Cisneros that his actions had devastated their family.
"This is the first murder in our family in five generations," Lopez said. "I feel sorry for your family, but you put them there, not Sonia and not us."
Mario Baker told Cisneros that he was thankful that his wife did not take their sons with her that night while she made a quick late-night run to McDonald's.
"I hope you get the help you need," Mario Baker said. He shook hands with Alpert and hugged his mother-in-law as he left the witness stand.
Cisneros' family declined to comment after the verdict.

Local News, Fake News, No News – Read All About It!
November 10, 2017
Kirkwood's Bill Freivogel is worried about fake news, loss of local news, and replacing news with opinion. Of course, being concerned about the news media is his job. He's publisher of the Gateway Journalism Review (GJR).
It's also his job as a professor of media law at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, where GJR is published. Of great concern is the destruction of rules limiting media monopoly and the loss of local news studio requirements.
A new FCC is intent on approving Sinclair Broadcasting Group's plan to buy Chicago-based Tribune Media Co. for $3.9 billion. In the St. Louis market, KDNL (Channel 30) is now owned by Sinclair. The purchase of Tribune would add KTVI (Channel 2) and KPLR (Channel 11) to its media stable.
On the national level, Sinclair's plan would provide it with 233 television stations that reach 72 percent of U.S. households. The FCC has had rules that allow a single company to reach no more than 39 percent of the nation's homes.
"The FCC's rules limiting ownership in local markets have always made sense, but they make even more sense today with hyper-partisan news media," said Freivogel. "The ownership rules are intended to make sure no one media company's voice becomes too loud in a particular city. Sinclair's right-wing voice in St. Louis already is loud with Sean Hannity wannabe Jamie Allman spouting nonsense. Giving Sinclair control of more St. Louis stations would potentially deepen the problem."
The issue of media monopoly in St. Louis and nationwide has long been a concern of Jessica Brown, founder of the Gateway Media Literacy Partners. She has taught media literacy at the college level for 14 years, including at Webster University. She said Sinclair's takeover will result in fewer jobs, fewer new voices and less diversity in the metro St. Louis television market.
"Media literacy is a survival skill now; a skill essential to the survival of democracy," said Brown. "People need to study and to act. People underestimate the power of one, and the power of constant communication with station managers, producers, reporters. Speak up about missing voices in stories; or misinformation in news broadcasts.
"We need to talk to our neighbors, groups we belong to, and our politicians about this," added Brown. "Demand that our media environment remain open to the public and that a local community's myriad voices be heard."
"Go Local" has been the mantra in the news biz in recent years. It's worked out pretty well for this newspaper, which focuses on community news.
So, why am I writing a column about moves by the FCC to make local news harder to find? That should only improve this newspaper's prospects. Perhaps I should be quoting late TV sage Roseanne Roseannadanna: "Never mind."

Wrapped in mustard
Have I ever told you how much I loved the color yellow? Yellow and mustard colors are one of my favorite to wear. Ever. I don’t know why but I am just drawn to them. When I saw this sweater I nearly fell over. I mean, chunky knit mustard?! OBSESSION. There is nothing better to me than a slouchy knit so expect this sweater to be on repeat. Here on the east coast we are still picking up the pieces from the huge storm we had and I want to send everyone warm thoughts as we pick up the pieces. If you want to help through donation, please do so here.

From Paris Fashion Week to Paris, Ohio, Kanye West is bringing his Yeezy fashion line to the masses.
According to a press release announcing the partnership between the controversial rapper and this outlet mall staple, the Yeezy design studio “is poised to disrupt retail” by working with Gap on “a new line to deliver modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points, with the creative process just getting underway.”
Given that West is known for his love of immersive cross-genre experiences and wanting complete creative control over his projects, it makes sense that his “design vision will extend to unique YEEZY Gap expressions in Gap stores and digital channels over time,” as well.
As a teenager, West worked at a Gap store in Chicago and in the announcement Mark Breitbard, the Global Head of Gap Brand, says the brand is, “excited to welcome Kanye back to the Gap family as a creative visionary, building on the aesthetic and success of his YEEZY brand and together defining a next-level retail partnership.”
No images of this new partnership have been released just yet, but the brands did reveal the branding for their new line: Gap's signature blue and white logo containing the letters YZY.
At the 2015 VMAs, West promised that if he was to be elected president “everybody gets Yeezys.” So it doesn't seem so farfetched that teaming up with Gap “to bring YEEZY apparel to the people” just might be phase 1 of his campaign rollout.

Flash encryption broken, Adobe censors SourceForge
May 24, 2009
As seen on Slashdot:
Adobe uses a proprietary encrypted communications system between their Flash player and their Media Server product. This is intended to ensure that only people who pay for Flash Media Server can stream Flash movies, and only official clients can access them.
In other words, it’s a copy protection (DRM) scam. It’s completely antithetical to the goals of running a free software desktop or serving content to users using free software. However, despite Adobe’s claims, it doesn’t actually provide any security except through the obscurity of the protocol and some short secret keys.
lkcl claims to have created an open source, clean-room implementation of this protocol, called RTMPE, and published it on Sourceforge. Despite promising in January to open RTMP, Adobe wants to protect their revenue stream, so they sent a DMCA takedown notice to Sourceforge, who complied by censoring the project.
If you value your freedom to publish and receive Flash videos using free software, help us fight Adobe and embarrass SourceForge by nominating rtmpdump for “Best Project for Multimedia” in the SourceForge Community Choice awards.
If you just want to download it, here are some handy links now that it’s been censored by SourceForge: LKCL sehe.nl megashare.com mininova.org sumotorrent.com fulldls.com btjunkie.org mybittorrent.com demonoid.com mininova/TOR.

LG Revolution User Reviews
Please note that each user review reflects the opinion of its respectful author and not of PhoneArena.
Definitely a REVOLUTION
christony1120 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review
Great phone!!!!!!Fast LTE and everything you expect of a phone. The quality of the phone is just amazing!! Especially being an android it basically lets you have a variety of apps. the is also speedy with little or no lag. The only issue I have is the battery life. The battery life last me for 8 hours if using heavily. I also love the small notification light. I love the browser especially since it supports flash so web sites looks the same as in a desktop! But the best feature is LTE!

Best phone verizon has to offer, and probably the best they have ever had!
mr. droid has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
EXCELLENT. this phone is basically FLAWLESS. (and I should add that I am the HARDEST person to impress. period.) It has an LED indicator light, 1500mAh battery, amazing display that can be seen in bright sun light. I do not think that there will be anything that can rival this phone for awhile. (not on verizons network anyways)

It was pretty good at first, but after about 2 weeks, it starts getting really slow. About once a week it locks up on my, the micro USB connector cover fell off, the back felt loose after about a month, UI lags a ton, games lag a ton, after listening to spotify for 30 mins, the battery depleted half way, and it is very uncomfortable to hold against your ear when making a call.

I had high hopes for this phone. I bought a refurbished one. It is getting worse as time goes by. First I installed a new UI, GO Launcher, to replace the horrible LG UI. And I installed all my favorite Google apps, which were strangely missing from the phone. But nontheless, the phone is buggy and slow. Sometimes it shuts down DURING A PHONE CALL. Just now it buzzed non-stop for half a minute, but wouldn't respond to anything I did. Then it rebooted. This is an unreliable POS. How I miss my old HTC EVO! Also the headphone jack is horrible. It barely takes a standard headphone plug, and I have to keep pressing it in or it comes out at the slightest touch. So sad I bought this phone. The camera is horrible too. Horrible dynamic range, really poor detail.

LG Revolution is the furthest thing from revolutionary. Do not buy this handset.
grniyce has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
_So I got the LG Revolution and I absolutely hate it. I'm going back to the Thunderbolt. The screen is so sensitive that it's near impossible to select something. It charges slower than any phone I've ever had. The call quality is mediocre. The speaker volume is pathetic. It constantly loses wifi, even though I'm in the same room as the router. The 4g speeds are slower than my Tbolt. The dialer has an annoying vmail button on it that you can't get rid of, so if you hit it, it not only tries to sell you Verizon's s**tty visual voicemail everytime, but once you decline it, then it dials into your voicemail. When you get rid of the ignorant app categories, except two you have to keep, it doesn't sort the apps alphabetically anymore, so you have to have an eagle-eye to find the app you want. The stock keyboard is HORRIBLE, and I mean horrible, so you literally have to download Better Keyboard or Android Keyboard to even function in a text message. The last and possibly most annoying part is that it is based off of Bing everything, and even if you install Google, you still have to use Bing with the search button, unless you install Decrapified ROM; which I did, and it errored out all the time. All the way around this handset sucks ASS!

I have had it only for 2 days but so far the things i like is the touch screen along with the lightness and mobility for its gargantuous size.

One of the worst Android phones
MHAkram has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
I kept it for about 3 weeks and then returned it. While 4G was great - the phone itself was terrible. It's well built, I'll give you that. The screen was so and so. Battery life was an absolute piece of crap. I exchanged it for an iPhone and couldn't be happier

Good Phone from LG. I have had this for 6 days from when it came out, and am enjoying it. Camera is a bit disappointing but I have my own amazing digital camera so I do not use the camera on the phone unless I do not have my digital camera with me. Too many things to say about the phone, if I go on, I might ending up writing an essay. bye

Droid Charge has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
The phone does what it needs to its good and reliable but what can i say this device looks like a cheap knock off of the HTC Thunderbolt. I had it for a week and returned it because it was not worth the buy. The Samsung Droid Charge is a promising phone excellent in design, quality, speed, and network ever since i made the change the Droid Charge has done alot and simplified my life

Continuing Investigation of Truck on Fire
Near Despot on July 8th, a pickup truck was struck by a falling tree. The tree had been knocked over thanks to heavy winds from the severe storms in the area. The truck immediately became a fire ball, and was gutted by flames. A suspected nearly $30,000 in damage was done to the vehicle and area.
Officials are currently investigating the scene, trying to determine if it was the tree or another factor that caused the truck to burst into flames. It was a 2011 Dodge Ram 4X4 truck that caught fire, on the 700 block of Rock Run Road near Despot Maryland. The state fire Marshall has a pending investigation.
It was the owners of the vehicle who called 911 at about 10:30 pm on the night of the accident. Corine D. Bannon and Dustin J. Adams called in after seeing the fire overtaking the truck. Right before the fire a heavy 25foot branch from the tree had struck the top of the pickup truck, leading investigators to believe that it might have caused the fire. The branch was of a decent size and fell because of heavy winds caused by the storms. It is quite possible that it caused the fire just minutes after it fell on the top of the truck. However, other options are also being explored.
Investigators agree that the tree appears to be the reason for the blaze, but that other possibilities need to be looked into. Less obvious reasons could be at fault for the fire in the truck. Many things need to be explored in the charred and gutted truck including its electrical system and dashboard. Possible recalls also need to be explored for that make and model, because a recalled part could be the reason for the blaze. The investigation is now acting as if the branch was purely a coincidence and that the fire was completely separate from the accident.
The fire took about 15 minutes to put out and nearly 17 fire fighters. The company that responded was the Water Which Volunteer Fire Company. An estimated $30,000 in damage to the truck was done (the vehicle was completely totaled) and nearly $1,000 in personal belongings was destroyed as well. The cause is still under investigation; however, officials have now stated that they believe the intense fire started on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.

In advance of every class meeting, I’m working hard to get ready for you here at the school. Handouts are adjusted to reflect the individual interests of the students in each group. Oils are infused. Honey is strained. Tinctures are made, or pressed, or bottled for your sampling pleasure. I may schedule a special trip to the co-op so we have enough organic apple cider vinegar to go around. I’ll be visiting our plant friends in the gardens and forest to see who is ready for harvest at the next class, who makes a good talking point on the plant walk, and who should get a group visit because they’re just SO COOL. In the last days leading up to the class, I’ll be harvesting plants for our tea and as teaching tools, printing up handouts, and cleaning and cleansing our learning space. All of these things take time, effort, and in some cases money.
When students cancel at the last minute, resources have been wasted: sometimes it’s just my time finding the perfect medicinal mead recipe because of your personal interest in brewing, but sometimes plants have been harvested on your behalf and will now be wasted, or your portion of beeswax has already been weighed and chipped up in anticipation of your presence in our group.
Additionally, the group dynamic shifts and changes with the absence of group members, and that can be very disruptive. The principle of synergy is one we discuss in great detail in the courses, and it applies to group dynamics as well: our class is more than simply a gathering of individuals. Instead, we become a cohesive whole centered on our love and respect for plant medicine, the natural world, and our discovery of health and the healing path. When students cancel at the last minute (or worse, no call/no show), it harms the group dynamic and is hurtful to other students’ experience.
There is a minimum number of students required to hold class, so sometimes last minute cancellations cause the cancellation of the whole class, or a class to be held with too few students to establish a strong group dynamic, which is harmful to the whole group.
If an emergency comes up, talk to me. I’m a human and I know that things happen. But please respect how hard we work here behind the scenes to give you such a powerful experience every time you visit, and how damaging your absence can be to your peers.
For all workshops and intensives:
You must cancel at least 7 days in advance to get a refund. If a rain date is advertised, this policy applies if you can’t make the rain date. If a rain date is not advertised and I reschedule due to weather, you get a refund if you can’t make the new date.
For all courses:
You must cancel at least 7 days before the start of the course to get a refund. If you drop out of the course at or before the half way point, you will be refunded half the fee, minus a small materials fee to cover materials bought by me on your behalf for the remaining classes if applicable. Past the half way point, refunds will not be issued.
Students who sign up for a course one class at a time are also expected to give 7 days notice for cancellations. No call/no show damages everyone’s experience, as we make every effort to wait for latecomers: not only does it waste resources, but your fellow students miss out due to a late-starting class. No call/no show students will be expected to pay for the class before attending a future class.
Application deposits will be refunded in full if you are not chosen for the apprenticeship, and are refundable by request up to the application deadline. The remainder of payment is due by the start of the apprenticeship and payment plans are available. You must cancel 1 month before the start of the program to receive a refund, minus the application deposit. If you drop out of the program at or before the half way point, you will be refunded half the program fee, minus the application deposit and the cost of any materials bought by me on your behalf. Past the half way point of the program, refunds will not be issued.

Prompt gamma ray-spectroscopy of N = 50 fission fragments
1 Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie, Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1, CNRS/IN2P3, Grenoble INP, 38026 Grenoble, France
2 Department of physics, University of Jyväskylä, PO Box 35, 40014 Jyväskylä, Finland
Published online: 13 December 2013
Excited states in the nuclei 83As and 84,86Se have been studied via prompt γ-ray spectroscopy. The nuclei were produced by the proton-induced fission of a 238U target, at the accelerator of the University of Jyväskylä. The JUROGAM-II array was used to detect prompt γ-rays and a triple-γ coincidence analysis performed. A comparison of the N = 50 nuclei with shell-model calculations reproduces the low-lying states in 83As and 84Se well. The inclusion of particle-hole excitations is necessary to correctly describe the states above ∼ 3.5 MeV.

The Nordic diet emphasizes eating whole grains, in-season fruits and vegetables, and fish. Adding olive oil can make the diet more flavorful and replace canola oil as the traditional cooking fat.
For those on the Mediterranean diet who are looking for a few new dishes or want to try something a bit different altogether, look north — way north — to Scandinavia and its Nordic diet.
“The Mediterranean and Nordic diets are based on adopting a healthy lifestyle rather than following a restrictive diet ‘plan’ and revolve around seasonal, sustainable and locally sourced foods of their respective regions,” said Layne Lieberman, a registered dietician and author of Beyond the Mediterranean Diet: European Secrets of the Super-Healthy. “Both are plant-based, pescatarian focused and emphasize a variety of healthful and wholesome food choices.”
We have far more research about the health-protective benefits of extra virgin olive oil compared to canola, and its production is more straightforward.
The Nordic diet was created by a group of health and sustainability-minded chefs in 2004, with an eye toward consuming whole foods sourced locally, thus supporting healthy bodies and the environment. The diet emphasizes “hearty and dense whole grains, legumes, seasonal, organic and foraged vegetables and fruits, fish from oceans and lakes, moderate amounts of quality meat, low-fat dairy and eggs, and less processed and sugary foods,” Lieberman said.
Berries, omega-3-fatty fish, lentils and other high-fiber foods, and grains such as oats, rye and barley feature heavily in the Nordic diet.See more: Olive Oil Health News
However, there is a pesky oil in the Nordic diet: canola oil. It thrives in cooler climates, which is why it is the default oil for the locality-focused Nords. But switching in olive oil for raw and cooking purposes can help boost the diet’s health benefits, according to Cynthia Sass, a Los Angeles-based performance nutritionist.
“We have far more research about the health-protective benefits of extra virgin olive oil compared to canola, and its production is more straightforward,” Sass said.
Lieberman said both oils are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but that canola oil can be highly processed.
Besides the health benefits, swapping in olive oil for canola oil in Nordic diet meals can also boost flavor.
“Fresh [extra virgin] olive oil is more flavorful than canola oil. I love to use it sparingly over salads, cooked pasta, steamed vegetables and seafood,” Lieberman said.
She added that olive oil can be used as a marinade or as a butter replacement, regardless of the diet, in baked goods.
Sass echoed the sentiment that olive oil can be a good replacement when cooking Nordic diet items, adding that it is a good fat for roasting root vegetables or cooking red cabbage.
Compared to the Mediterranean diet, which has undergone extensive research since its popularization in the mid-20th century, there are fewer studies on the Nordic diet. However, the World Health Organization found in a recent survey of locality-based diets that the regimen “has been shown to promote cardiovascular health” and “produce weight loss” in people categorized as obese.
As a final point, Lieberman said any diet, whether it is Mediterranean, Nordic or something else, needs to be followed in concert with an active lifestyle. Given that, practitioners of the Nordic diet outside Scandinavia can take a few cues from the population there.
“An active lifestyle is essential to the success of both the Mediterranean and Nordic diets,” she said. “People of the Nordic region bicycle as a means of transportation, even during the freezing-cold winter months, use public transportation, walk everywhere (even in the rain) and enjoy skiing and other sports.”
Because the Nordic diet has such a focus on sourcing local foods, both for their health and environmental benefits, Lieberman said people who live in colder climates might have easier access to foods featured in the diet: root vegetables, cabbage and sauerkraut. For those in warmer climates, a blend of Nordic and Mediterranean diet foods might be worth experimenting with.

The Fourth Horseman, pestilence, has come to Iraq and now Baghdad in the form of a rapidly spreading outbreak of Cholera.
A woman has died of cholera in Baghdad, Iraq's health ministry says, the capital's first confirmed fatality in the country's recent outbreak.adding to the problems of poor water sanitation, of course, are the lack of modern medical treatment and antibiotics that many Iraqis now suffer. If the Iraqis are really unlucky, the outbreak is of the antibiotic resistant 'O139 Bengal' strain first noticed in 1992. Even if it's the older strain, the last epidemic in South America, which began in Peru in 1991, caused 1.04 million identified cases and almost 10,000 deaths.
The disease was first detected in northern Iraq last month.
Eleven others have died of cholera outside Baghdad, and at least 2,000 cases have been confirmed, the vast majority of them in the north.
...The World Health Organisation has warned that problems in ensuring access to clean water and food in Iraq could cause the disease to spread further.
A report by the UK-based charity, Oxfam, and the NGO Co-ordination Committee in Iraq (NCCI) warned in July that 70% of Iraq's population did not have adequate water supplies and that only 20% had access to effective sanitation.
How can anyone describe this as success, four years and some into the occupation? Where's the surge to deal with this faceless and inhuman killer of innocents? Where are the billions in earmarked funds from the Bush administration?

Michelle Smith, the designer behind the label Milly, opened a flagship boutique on Madison Avenue this year, so it’s not surprising that her young, ladylike style kicked it up a notch for spring.
The Tone: Geometric, colorful — and covered. “The Milly girl is more interested in her books than boys this season,” show notes said.
Founder and top designer of Milly, Michelle Smith, caught up with after unveiling her Fall 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week to talk about the latest trends, her inspiration and some of her favorite fabrics.
Spring-like colors have filled the fall runways this New York fashion week, with plenty of bright teals and yellows served up amid the usual dark grays and blacks.
Michelle Smith, the designer behind Milly, added another shade to that mix: hot pink.
Inspired by the late French photographer Guy Bourdin, Ms. Smith sent several nearly-neon styles down the catwalk, like a vivid orangey-coral mohair top over a shocking pink dress paired with deep red knee-high boots.
If the name Michelle Smith isn’t synonymous with Blair Waldorf, it should be. The designer behind Milly knows the young uptown girl’s style from her headband to her heel, and showed that again with her latest collection, which must be bound for the “Gossip Girl” wardrobe department.
Come spring, Ms. Smith expects to see some forwardness from her clientele, a little extra attitude, given that her clothes were inspired by the late Peggy Guggenheim. “She’s a bold, trendsetting woman, very strong and ahead of her time,” Ms. Smith said backstage after her show. “With the return to feminine dressing, I thought her eccentricity would lend a lot of character.”
The clothes were ladylike but with some spunk, mixing patterns and tones within her separates. “I did tribal elements mixed with city elements, which I think is really refreshing,” Ms. Smith said.
If Gossip Girl was set in Paris, Michelle Smith could be the costume designer with her Milly Fall 2010 collection. Young models bounced down the runway in mini skirts and tweed Chanel-like suits, perfect for the Gossip Girl set, but with a European twist. Some sported bedazzled berets. Hems were short but balanced by bright tights by Hue in various patterns.
Known for her ultra-feminine, preppy clothes (her signature color is pink), Ms. Smith launched Milly in 2000 and gained a following for her interesting prints. This collection, however, was much more monochromatic. “This season we used more color-blocking and monotone looks — full red outfits, full navy. It looks clean and modern in an artistic way,” said Ms. Smith after the show.
Among many darker, edgier shows this season — take Marc Jacob‘s muted palate or Alexander Wang‘s gothicism – the Milly collection stood out as a preppy punch of color. Ms. Smith defended her choices: “I’m feeling optimistic, I want to wear color.” She said that her bold palate was influenced by. . .
The Obama administration is continuing to inspire the fashion industry.
ABS by Allen Schwartz is rushing a $300 white, one-shoulder evening gown that’s similar to the Jason Wu piece Michelle Obama wore to the inaugural balls and a $200 ivory sheath dress inspired by the Isabel Toledo dress the first lady wore to the swearing-in ceremony, which he says will hit stores in April. At next month’s New York fashion week, contemporary brand Milly plans to introduce a new version of the dress Dr. Jill Biden wore on Inauguration Day in its Fall 2009 collection.
And on Monday, Mrs-O.org, a blog that chronicles the sartorial choices of the new first lady, will start selling a limited-edition $30 T-shirt featuring the print of a flowered necklace that’s inspired by the Maria Pinto dress and striking necklace that Mrs. Obama wore to the final presidential debate in October. (The Web site, which is run by the New York office of advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty LLC, is also planning to publish a hardcover book – scheduled for release in December — charting Mrs. Obama’s style during her first year in the White House.)
“She’s become the people’s style icon,” says Ben Jenkins, strategy director of Zag, the division of the agency that explores developing new brands, on the appeal of Mrs. Obama. “She’s democratizing style.”
Not everything that Mrs. Obama wears is being copied, though. Mr. Schwartz of ABS says he decided not to produce a knockoff of the red and black Narciso Rodriguez dress Mrs. Obama wore on election night, for example, predicting it wasn’t something that shoppers would buy. And the version he’s planning of the Isabel Toledo dress Mrs. Obama wore on Inauguration Day isn’t going to be done in the shiny lemongrass hue that Ms. Toledo had used. “It’s not a shade that most people, in my opinion, would wear,” Mr. Schwartz says. “It’s too much of a ‘Mommy’ look.”
And although some are trying to capitalize on Dr. Biden’s choice of their dresses – Reem Acra, for example, notes that the red gown the vice president’s wife wore to the inaugural balls is in stores now – Mr. Schwartz says he is sticking to just Mrs. Obama for his “inspired by” pieces. Joe and Jill Biden “could be the most unrecognized couple in the history of the White House—there’s so much spotlight on” Barack and Michelle Obama, Mr. Schwarz notes. “It’s like, ‘Jill who?’”

2 Episodes tagged : blackness
Josh "Peter Riffin" Waldron returns, as the Riffin also returns, in 2013. We start off fast and loose, with Josh flyin' off the handle while Mitcz tries to work out the situation behind ignored text messages. We move on to racial discussions, and a sports discussion that becomes a celebrity-obsessed-culture discussion. In the news, we talk about the fate of the "ScarJo Hacker", Kurzweil's new position at Google, Jamie Kennedy's embarrassing New Year's Eve event and we end on a raucous round of Google Feud.
When Quincy Jones (not THAT Quincy Jones) swings through riffin' studios, he and Teddy accidentally team up to make Mitcz feel whiter than ever. It's a fast-paced thrill-ride, kids. You'll laugh your tits off at the worlds that be collidin' on this one.

Series: The Portland, ME Series
Novels: From Dust, Cruel Water, Through Fire and Still Air
Author: Freya Barker
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Multicultural, Women's Fiction
“"From Dust" by Freya Barker is one of those special books. One of those whose plotline and characters remain with you for days after you finished it.” - Jeri's Book Attic - From Dust
"This book touches on some very serious subjects and really tugged at my heartstrings, but nevertheless, it was beautifully written. Be prepared to go through a lot of tissues, because Cruel Water is a tear jerker for sure!" - Author Maureen Mayer - Cruel Water
"Through Fire was another beautiful novel by Freya Barker. One thing you can always count on is to truly feel the book, and relate with the very real characters she creates." - Author Harlow Stone - Through Fire
"In my opinion, there is nothing better than a Freya Barker book. With her final installment in her Portland, ME series, Still Air, she does not disappoint. From start to finish I was completely captivated by Pam, Dino, and the entire Portland family." ~ Author RB Hilliard - Still Air
The bottle numbed her.
Guilt kept her trapped.
In the dark alley of a pub, the words “Please don’t” take hold of her heart and break the silence she seeks. Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her.
Holding her secrets close, she can’t resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her—melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance.
His life flows from one crisis to the next. Under the pressure of competition crowding him out of his family’s pub and the need to protect his children from the ruins of a bad marriage, he barely breathes. That is until a mane of strawberry-blonde hair and a set of big, pale blue eyes, shake him up.
He never expected the shadow of a woman he finds on the floor of his washroom to bring him the air―the balance and the light he’s been missing.
**Due to some content of a sexually explicit nature, this book is recommended for a mature audience only.**
Innocence marked her…
Violation crippled her…
Love left her raw…
The life she carefully rebuilt is challenged when she is confronted with the sins from her past. The carefully applied protection is at once ripped away, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.
Her single night of indulgence with the silver-eyed stranger is only the beginning. He sees right to the heart of her and she is unable to ward off emotions that have been deeply buried. With the sting of betrayal still fresh in her soul, she’s surprised to find herself opening up to the honest integrity of the sharp-eyed, rough-looking biker.
When he lost everyone who mattered, he was left without roots and learned to be content simply living in the moment. Completely unprepared for the feisty blonde bartender with old pain marring her clear-blue eyes, he questions his own rules of detachment, as she unwittingly finds a way under his skin.
Appearances deceive and when the masks fall away, revealing deep, dark secrets, there is nothing left but to hang onto each other and survive the storm.
Deprival haunted her…
Regret troubled her…
Silence left her detached...
A life in the service of others is both penance and a blessing. She soothes her personal hell by pulling victims from theirs, helping them on their path to survival; never finding her own.
When a crippling blow finally evaporates her last hope, the temptation to give up is strong. Still, she can’t find it in her to turn her back on those who need her: the innocent, whose rescue is her perpetual goal.
He was blind, but now he sees how his family has sifted through his fingers. The reality hits hard when his son becomes a stranger, slipping deeper into transgression. Concern has him call on the one person he fears will see his own failures all too clearly. A woman he’s kept his distance from for his own protection.
Freya Barker inspires with her stories about 'real’ people, perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy. She is the author of the Cedar Tree Series and the Portland, ME, novels.
Freya is the recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None,” and is a finalist for the 2016 Kindle Book Awards for “From Dust”. She currently has two complete series and three anthologies published, and is working on two new series; La Plata County FBI—ROCK POINT, and Northern Lights. She continues to spin story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!

Construction work on the £18m bridge project started in August 2014 and should have finished last December.
This deadline has slipped several times due to bad weather, uncharted utilities and temporary suspension of activities after a worker died in a site incident.
It is understood the new target date is May and the project is now said to cost over £22m.
Critically it has also emerged that there are now problems connected with the bridge’s bearings which are affecting the concrete at each end of the steel structure.
Balfour and the council have called in the bridge designers AECOM to explore the problem.
A council spokeswoman said: “Aberdeen City Council identified a design feature which was operating contrary to the design.
“Remedial action has been sought from designers and the design checkers and we’re awaiting final confirmation of how the contract is to proceed at this time.”
A spokeswoman for AECOM said: “We consider the design to be correct, but the behaviour of a bridge can be significantly influenced by a complex combination of factors during the construction phase, including the method and sequencing of the construction process.
“We have provided a solution and are working closely with Aberdeen City Council and its other partners to help ensure minimal disruption to the project.”
Aberdeen City Council Communities, Housing and Infrastructure convener Councillor Neil Cooney said: “This is Aberdeen’s largest major new bridge infrastructure since the construction of the Queen Elizabeth Bridge 30 years ago and projects of this size are technically complex..
‘While we recognise how frustrating these delays are for people, it must be remembered this is a major project which includes two bridges, creating a new road, re-alignment of existing roads, creating cycle paths, and pavements.
“The Third Don Crossing project will help transform getting around the city along with other major projects which Aberdeen City Council is investing in, including the AWPR, the A96 Park and Choose and Airport Link Road, and the Berryden Corridor.
“Once the bridge is open, people on both sides of the River Don will see a tremendous difference getting around the city.”
George Hood, Balfour Beatty Managing Director, said: “”We continue to support Aberdeen City Council in order to ensure all works are completed as quickly as possible.
“Once complete, the Third Don Crossing will play a significant role in improving local transportation routes. All other works continue to progress at a good rate.”
The project requires the construction of two major bridges, with the first being a 26m skew span reinforced concrete bridge over the Mill Lade at Grandholm Village and the second a 90m span steel box girder bridge over the River Don.
The Third Don Crossing involves construction of a new single carriageway link road between the Parkway/Whitestripes Road junction and the Tillydrone Avenue/St Machar Drive junctions, including the construction of the new bridges.

If I could divide the rating into two, I'd give the crust a 1 and the "goo" a 4. The crust is too doughy and not enough like cake; it's very dense and heavy. I also think the crust is too plain. I was born and raised in St.Louis and all of the gooey butter cakes that I've had, had more of a cake feel and taste to the crust. The "goo" is very tasty, but was way too runny. The crust made by the goo on the very top was excellent, though. The "goo" definitely tasted like the gooey butter cakes I've had growing up, but the one on this definitely needed to be less runny. Nice try, but it needs some tweaking!

SPRINGFIELD – “Big Mac” is back, skating on MassMutual Center ice and adding a veteran presence to a Springfield Falcons team still in its formative stage.
The “Big Mac” in question is Spencer Machacek, a 195-pound power forward whose late arrival in March helped the Falcons in their drive to a division title and playoff berth in the American Hockey League.
He played most of the season with the St. John’s IceCaps, until a March 10 trade put him in a Falcons uniform with 18 games remaining in the regular season. The parent Columbus Blue Jackets got him in a deal for Tomas Kubalik, and he proved to be a big help down the stretch with his hard-nosed style.
Machacek, who turns 25 Oct. 14, brings experience to a Falcons training camp which officially got under way Tuesday morning with a full-scale practice. He’s already a veteran of 359 AHL games over five seasons.
He spent eight days in NHL camp with the Blue Jackets before getting the call to report to Springfield.
“It’s always tough when you get sent down, but now that I’m here, I just have to regroup. There’s no time for pouting, because you have to get ramped up and be ready to play,” he said.
The Falcons, as currently constituted, have 23 players in camp. Coach Brad Larsen and assistants Jared Bednar and Nolan Pratt will get a good look at all of them over the course of exhibition games Friday night at home and Sunday night at Hartford.
“I look upon these games as being important, because they’re a way of getting you into the right mode with some real contact. It’s a good way to get in stride,” Machacek said.
Larsen admits exhibition games sometimes can have their ragged edges, but he sees them as important from both the coaching and player points of view.
“They’re a good indicator of how guys are doing, and a good chance for them to make an impression and show they can play,” he said. “Of course, the big picture is that we need to get this team ready for opening night in the American Hockey League.”
For the Falcons, that’s Oct. 5, at home against the Manchester Monarchs.
“We had a good practice this morning,” Larsen said. “Back on the ice and skating – that’s always good. We just have to concentrate on getting the guys to keep pushing and be ready to go.”
ICE CHIPS: Machacek believes the Falcons’ upbeat 2012-13 season will mean something to this new edition. “We set a good standard, and now we can build on that,” he said ... The Blue Jackets lost a 2-1 shootout against Minnesota on Monday, but Larsen said the parent club made great strides last season, and that will also carry over. “Coach Todd Richards and his staff are doing an excellent job, and the team has created an identity for themselves. Now they’re known as a tenacious team that is hard to play against. That’s the way we want this (Springfield) team to be – hard to play and never giving up” ... Defenseman Dalton Prout and winger Matt Calvert, both former Falcons, have recovered from injuries. They rejoined the Blue Jackets for Monday’s exhibition ... Curtis McElhinney, who will be the No. 2 Columbus goaltender, has been slowed by an injury. Whether his physical condition will impact the goaltending situation with the Falcons remains to be seen.

You can also play ZIP files without having to unpack them individually. If a video is too quiet, you can manually increase the film’s volume up to 200% after the download is finished.
CHECK THIS POST >>> Windows 365 Cloud PC – Windows 365 Cloud PC Price |…
VLC Media Player can also search for album covers. A playlist function allows for multiple films to play one after the other. This is particularly useful if you have downloaded a film in several parts or just want to watch several shorter videos.

Developed by the VideoLAN project, VLC is a free and open-source media player for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is capable of playing and streaming any audio file and many video files, and even DVD movies.
What makes this player unique to other players is that it is totally free, has codec’s already included, and its almost limitless available features. The picture shows an example of what the VLC player looks like playing a DVD movie.

The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough."Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back.""You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."

To determine the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis in patients 10–20 years old using radiographs as a screening tool, we studied 783 patients who obtained chest radiographs for nonspinal reasons. We measured thoracic curvature in coronal and sagittal planes; we determined whether age, sex, and sagittal curvature predicted the coronal curvature. The prevalence of scoliosis was 9.3%: 7.0% had curvatures 10°–20°; 1.0% had curvatures 20°–30°; and 1.3% had curvatures of at least 30°. Females (13%) presented larger prevalence of scoliosis than males (4.8%) (P<0.01), also with a larger proportion of larger curvatures. Sex and thoracic kyphosis were independent predictors of the coronal curvature, age was not.

- 2 red onions, cut into sixths
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons fennel seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1-pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large rectangular metal or enameled baking dish in the oven to heat along with the oven while you prep the ingredients.
When the oven is hot, take the baking dish out, and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the fennel, onion, and salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and return to the oven, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prep the pork. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and crust in fennel seeds and thyme leaves. Pull the baking dish out of the oven, and move the vegetables to the sides of the dish. Place the pork in the center and roast all together for 25 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork is 145 degrees F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
While the pork is resting, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Slice the pork into thick rounds, and plate along with the roasted fennel and onion. Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the top, and serve right away with roasted or mashed potatoes or good, crusty bread.print this recipe

. It is known as the most beautiful Art Nouveau restaurant in Europe, which is hard to disagree with.
Francouzska Restaurant (French Restaurant) transports you back in time, to experience early 20th century finesse.
Gold and crystal chandeliers hang majestically from the restaurant's high ceiling. Tables are dressed with crisp tablecloths, polished silverware and sparkling glasses. And flowers infuse a fresh, airy feel.
Immaculately dressed waiters meanwhile attend competently to their guests.
This most elegant dining establishment has huge windows looking out on to Republic Square, and serves some of the finest cuisine in the city.
The head chef at Francouzska Restaurant has created a well-balanced menu centred around fine French cooking, with elements of Czech cuisine and local ingredients introduced where appropriate. As well as a range of meat dishes, the menu has various fish options, including a daily fresh fish offer.
This is the perfect restaurant to try really good Czech wines, although if you prefer, it also has an extensive list of international bottles too. Francouzska boasts one of the best restaurant wine cellars in the country.
A pianist completes the atmosphere, playing gently in the background every evening.
Francouzska Restaurant is located on Republic Square, just a few minutes walk from both the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. This is a popular area of the city, with Municipal House being the most significant building.
Francouzska Restaurant is highly recommended for fine dining in impressive surroundings. You may well find something truly special here.

First I am not suggesting hustling your neighbors by selling them $10.00 rolls of toilet paper or charging $50.00 for a jug of hand sanitizer. In every situation there is an opportunity to improve your situation. My guess is that some folks will see this as an opportunity to slack off at work and use the Corona Virus as an excuse. For others this is a great opportunity to do what Steven Covey author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People suggested we should always be doing. What is that …? well he told it as a story.
He says two lumber jacks decided to have a competition, one was a big tall husky fellow that other a shorter thin guy. The big guy was sure he was stronger and would win easily. On the first day the big guy sawed twice as much wood as the short guy. By the second day the short guy had caught up. By the third day the big guy decided he was going to start early work harder and win. On the third day the short guy cut twice as much and won the contest. The big guy was shocked he said to the short guy how did you do it, I worked twice as hard for twice as long as you did, and every day you took a break at noon and rested in the woods. The short guy said ya I rested in the woods but I also sharpened my saw twice a day so it stayed sharp!
So are you going to sharpen your saw by learning something new ? or see the Corona Virus as an opportunity to let rust to accumulate on your skills? These days there are more opportunity’s to learn new skills online than ever. A few of my favorite suggestions are below:
“Finally, our team has created a publicly-available Trailmix on Trailhead Trailmix Link with tips on how to work from home and maintain personal well-being during this time.” Mark Benioff CEO Salesforce.

Here’s another suggestion you know that list of cold calls that you’ve been meaning to work on. Well now is the time. With travel restricted what better time to catch people who are normally hard to get a hold of! Want a refresher ? Try this recording: Sandler Cold Calling Webinar Recording
To sharpen those sales skills there is Sandler Online Free Content Library (Podcasts, Blogs, Whitepapers etc: Sandler Sales Online Resources
“The world is moving so fast that you have to run just to stay in place….! ” Tom Peters
Not sure if any of this is relevant in your world on the off chance it is you may want to contact me for a quick conversation.

Rogie King's is a divided existence: living in Montana's wilderness with a segment of his heart forever in big-city tech-land; balancing his output between the emotional flow of illustration and the more cerebral possibilities of design. We were thrilled to spend some time unpicking contradictions with him.
Let's start with an easy one: why don't you introduce yourself?
I'm Rogie King, a designer, frontend developer and co-founder of NeonMob and and illustrator in Helena, Montana. Yes, it's nearly the armpit of technology, but it's got a heckuva view and some awesome hunting and river floating… and dang good microbrews to boot.
What are your proudest, or most notorious, professional achievements?
Design work on neonmob.com as well as designing the desktop app, Fantastical. Other proud work I'd list is any growth in character design and illustration: I've been spending a lot of time in the sketchpad.
How does your average day look?
I work from home, so it's a ton of babies crying, getting the kids off to school, then into the saddle for design work for NeonMob. Life on the edge ain't easy, y'know… a comfy seat, some stout brew and dubstep/electronica all day long. In the evenings I've been breaking out the Cintiq and sketching characters.
Is it true that Disney sparked your interest in design?
In part. Computer science and programming opened my eyes to the web; that got me interested in Flash, which got me into the web and design. Disney has always been an inspiration in everything I do: his commitment to quality, theme, environment and storytelling. You can't go wrong with that any day doing anything.
Disney said: "Times and conditions change so rapidly we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future." Is this sentiment applicable to the web today?
It was applicable 10 years ago (when I started) and is easily applicable today. The web is this insane ocean, ebbing and flowing all the time. If you're gonna work in this environment, you have to have this insatiable appetite and curiosity, which I know Walt Disney was a huge fan of.
Again, Disney said: "I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of the business of building entertainment." Are you making art, or working in a business?
Working in a business: we're telling stories, and letting people tell their stories using NeonMob. But we're in the business of building entertainment, much like Disney. We're attempting to create a platform of enjoyment and thrill: hunting and collecting limited edition digital art.
Designers shouldn't ever think they're purely making art or aesthetics. You're problem solving, and attempting to make tasks easier through familiar patterns, intuitive experience, and invoking emotions in their operators.
Was there a moment when you weighed illustration against code, and decided the pen is mightier – or more fun – than the keyboard?
It goes back and forth. I find at times when my brain is burnt out programming, I crave the raw, emotional expression in illustration and art. Too much of that side, and I bounce back to wanting to build things. While art and illustration is amazing in that it can generate and invoke an emotional response, I just can't get away from how cool it is to be able to build your own machines with your own hands.
The web seems to be made in either the West Coast, or in New York. How do you cope with life in Helena, Montana?
I miss interaction with all the nerds. I love hitting the big city and chilling with like-minded designers and illustrators. But sometimes it's amazing to go fishing or floating, far from technology. Like the art/code, I find my life enjoys the balance.
Do you feel where you live has an effect on your creativity?
Yeah, I think it does. Lots of clients value a balanced life. Like employers, they can see if you're headed for burnout: working the day shift, working the night shift. I get sad when I see people doing that: it's like they're missing out on life all for the hustle.
I value hard work, but it's not all about chasing notoriety and Benjamins. So, yeah, a lot of clients see it as a benefit. I've had on multiple occasions clients call out the fact that I'm not in the middle of the tech-sector as a good thing.
Working for NeonMob, it tends to be a lot more work being remote, especially since the entire team is based in San Francisco and I am the only person out here.
Collaborating tends to be a bit tougher working with bad connections, the lack of real human connection, different timezones and such. However, the solitude of not being surrounded by people all the time can really help that spark of creativity. Sometimes too much stimulation isn't the greatest for encouraging creativity.
You've a lot of Twitter followers. Do you think pursuing a high score in the social stats game can distract designers?
Absolutely: people feel that when they reach a large amount of followers, they've reached a holy grail, only to find out that the scenery looks about the same. There seems to be a distraction with catering your designs or your thoughts to the mob mentality – it's tougher going against the flow than with it. Less social following reduces that pressure to conform, which frees up creativity and distractions.
I'm thankful to have the exposure I do – it's enabled me to better provide for my family or promote others – but I'm not sure it's helped in other areas of my life.
Looking across the wider creative world, whose work makes you go 'wow'?
I've gained respect for the unnamed people who are making amazingly smart decisions, but aren't seen for it. Like engineers behind Facebook that are scaling all that data. That's insane genius. I don't know them, but I salute them.
Regarding art, Brittany Lee of Disney films does incredible character design, Lou Romano of Pixar does genius stuff with colour, light and theme. Olly Moss is another artist who's always pushing out jaw-dropping art. Other notables in the art/character space are Cory Loftis, Elsa Chang and Mingjue Helen Chen.
In the illustration world, Lab Partners has this incredible, minimal, retro style that I love.
Can you tell us something about the projects you're involved in?
NeonMob is my full-time passion right now. It's where I dump most of my time and effort. Much in the same way you collected baseball or Pokémon cards as a kid, NeonMob is a place to collect digital art online.
It's got a lot of the same things you remember from physical collectibles: limited editions; rarities; the thrill of pulling a really hard-to-find collectible. You build your collection of art sets by claiming daily freebies or trading with community members. It's a blast to use and a blast to work on.
Fine Goods is my online shoppe: a storefront for any goods I might produce, be it a fun shirt, piece of art or something digital for the developers and designers.
What about Future 52? And why are 52-things-a-year projects so popular?
Future 52 is a collaborative online narrative set in the year 2297 (read more here), that tells a story through the art contributions of 52 different pieces of art, submitted by really talented folk.
It's the brainchild of Alex Griendling – same awesome fella behind Raygun52 – a pixel artist and illustrator. I offered to help Alex make the site because I loved the idea and he needed a developer.
A week is a perfect span of time to release posts/art on. It's not too hard to keep up in this crazy-paced world, but gives you enough time to get excited and crave that next release. Also, themed, collaborative art projects seem to be really popular. It gives budding, talented artists a place to shine and throws a bit of traffic their way. Keep an eye out for more like this from me.
What advice would you give a young designer looking to start out?
Two things are super-important: curiosity and feedback. Curious designers are the ones that won't let it sit. They're always wanting to try one more thing. Curiosity is the fuel for an internal engine that enables growth.
Design is a process, not a single mockup. It takes time, conversations, pushback and lots of critique. Sometimes gorgeous designs fail when you start using them. It's so important to surround yourself with people who can make you smarter; push your designs to be better.
Oh, and humility. When you are young, you get hurt when someone critiques your design. Embrace the critique.
And how can you banish self-doubt?
Keep your head down, work hard, and stop comparing.
What's the secret of a good burger?
I'm a huge burger snob, and I've spent years trying to tweak recipes. You should cook your burger on a stovetop/fryer, not a grill, to sear the outside and lock in moisture. Get some good rock salt and season the outside of the burger well, toast your buns and add a sharp cheese: I recommend English Coastal or Dubliner.
Beyond that, there's bacon, sautéed onions, thick sliced hothouse tomatoes and something crisp or crunchy to offset the soft texture of the burger. And settle in for the long haul — it's a science.

Brand Name: Thalomid®
Thalidomide is used to treat multiple myeloma.
Thalidomide belongs in a class of drugs called immunomodulatory agents. It treats multiple myeloma by strengthening the immune system.
This medication comes as a capsule that is taken by mouth. Usually, thalidomide is taken once daily with water, either at bedtime or at least an hour after an evening meal. Thalidomide should be taken at about the same time each day. The exact dose and duration of treatment may vary depending on several factors, including the type of cancer being treated, how well the medication is working, how well your body is tolerating the drug, and what other medications you are taking. Your doctor will recommend the approach that is best for you.
Thalidomide side effects
To prevent problematic interactions between thalidomide and other drugs, be sure to tell your doctor if you are allergic to any medications, and what other medications and supplements you are currently taking. You should also inform your doctor if you have or ever had a liver tumor, liver, or kidney disease, HIV, AIDS, or seizures.
Thalidomide carries a risk of severe, life-threatening birth defects. The FDA has approved a program called System for Thalidomide Education and Prescribing Safety with which any man or woman taking thalidomide must register. Women taking thalidomide must use two acceptable forms of birth control for 4 weeks prior to treatment, and must have a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours before beginning treatment. Stop taking the drug immediately if you think you may have become pregnant, have an irregular or missed period, or have sex without using two forms of birth control. Men must use a latex condom or avoid sexual contact with a woman who is pregnant or may become pregnant during treatment with thalidomide and for 4 weeks after treatment has been stopped. Do not breastfeed while taking thalidomide.
Do not donate blood, sperm, or semen during treatment with thalidomide.
Possible side effects may include:
- Anxiety, depression, or other mood changes
- Difficulty sleeping
- Dry mouth
- Dry or pale skin
- Uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body
- Swelling of the hands, feet, ankles or lower legs
- Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
Some of thalidomide’s side effects can be serious. Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms:
- Blistering and peeling skin
- Swelling of facial features
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Sore throat, fever, chills or other signs of infection
- Slow or fast heartbeat
Thalidomide may cause temporary or permanent nerve damage.
Please note that this is not a comprehensive list. Patients may experience additional effects not mentioned above.
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), your team of cancer experts will explain each of the side effects of thalidomide with you in detail, as well as the side effects and expectations of all other medications planned as part of your individualized treatment plan.
Thalidomide for cancer treatment
Thalidomide is approved by the FDA for the following cancer treatment:
- In combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
At CTCA, our integrative approach to cancer treatment works to fight your disease on all fronts and ensures that you remain at the center of everything we do. We encourage participation from both you and your family to make certain you are comfortable with all decisions made regarding your treatment.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a young Jedi Knight tried to use a mind trick on a Hutt.
If you're wondering what to do when your Jedi mind trick fails, then this is the video for you. This week, I'll be giving you three tips for influence and persuasion, and make sure you stick around to the end for a bonus. On this channel, I help you unlock your powers and be the hero of your story. If you're new to my channel, make sure you click below and subscribe. I put out new videos every Friday, and you don't want to miss out.
Tip number one is confidence. If you don't believe, then why should anybody else? You have to absolutely believe in yourself and believe in your cause. If you look in the description below, I'm going to include a link to my video on how to find your WHY, because when you know your WHY, you can be absolutely confident. The next time you're trying to get your X-wing fighter out of a swamp in the Dagobah system, remember, be confident.
Tip number two is to understand. You have to absolutely understand the person or group that you're trying to influence. You have to get inside their head and figure out what it is they want and then tell them why they should care and how it's going to make their life better. Once you can do that, it'll be easier to win them over to your cause.
Tip number three is storytelling. The only thing more powerful than telling people how it's going to change their lives is, actually show people how it's going to change their lives. Look for an example of an early win where your cause has helped someone, and then share that story like crazy. I mean, jump on that thing and ride it like a stolen speeder bike through the Endor forest.
All right, so now it's time for this week's bonus, and that is knowledge. You need to be the absolute expert on whatever your cause is, so that way you can not only answer the questions that people are asking you, but you can also answer the questions they're thinking about, so you can eliminate their objections and bring them over to your cause.
If you liked this video, hit the like button below, share it with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe. Thanks for watching, and may the Force be with you.

This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer.
The sparse production on Origins, the seven song debut EP from Seattle’s Black Whales creates the feel of catching a live performance of a cutting edge band in a local club. Lead singer-guitarist Alex Robert’s vocals are a haunting echo amidst chiming guitars and rhythmic drumming as they drift across the room. The inventive arrangements, infectious melodies, and cryptic lyrics bring to mind early R.E.M.
The mid-tempo “Young Blood” conveys a youthful, restless spirit, and on “Running In Place,” which has more of a dance club beat, Robert demands, “Give me something to believe in, or I’m gone.” “The Boxer” isn’t the Simon & Garfunkel song, but exudes a similar sense of alienation along with a guitar riff borrowed from Nils Lofgrens’s “Keith Don’t Go.” Black Whales occasionally tap into Country & Western, particularly on the catchy “Roll With The Punches,” and slow things down on the hypnotic title track.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend the day with #RichKids Of Beverly Hills stars Dorothy and Morgan? Well wait no more, Examiner.com had the rare opportunity to sit down with the girls as they were in New York City on their press tour to promote the new season of #RichKids Of Beverly Hills, which premieres this Sunday, August 3rd on E! (10-10:30 p.m. ET). Both Morgan and Dorothy were personable, welcoming, and organically funny. Forget the big house, Hermes bags, and Prada shoes, they are still regular girls who have issues and go through relationship drama like the rest of us. In this exclusive sit down interview over happy hour, the girls shared what viewers can expect this season, their fears of not living up to their parents, and what is next on their horizon. Check out the slideshow of my fun adventure with the #RichKids Of Beverly Hills stars Dorothy and Morgan in New York City and read the full interview below:
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): How are you guys?
Dorothy Wang: “I’m so excited to be in New York, I love the city.”
Morgan Stewart: “I love it here too, and I’m excited and anxious for the next season to come out.”
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): How has New York been treating you guys?
Morgan Stewart: “We love it, I think that this time around, it has been even better because we’re here in the summer, it is definitely more fun!”
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): What if anything, have you learned from season 1?
Morgan Stewart: “If anything, it’s adjusting to watching yourself on camera and being constantly filmed. We just try to be who we are on and off camera…maybe not scream at people in Mexico and look ugly doing it (laughs).”
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): What can viewers expect on season 2?
Dorothy Wang: “This season, I think that we all have grown up a lot. We all have been through so much from personal lives, families, and relationships, and viewers will get to see all of that unfold. Of course there is still the richness, the glam, and the bags…but this season we do a lot of reflecting.”
Morgan Stewart: “Trials…tribulations…and triumphs."
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): What surprises can viewers expect this season?
Dorothy Wang: “We really let it all hang out, and we were very open with each other. This season, we were very comfortable around the cameras and there will be some drama, and it does get very vocalized and heated. More importantly, we go through a lot of the same issues that a lot of people go through, and I think that will make viewers able to relate to us and vice versa.”
Morgan Stewart: “I think that the whole season in general is going to surprise a lot of viewers, even we were shocked while a lot of stuff was going down.”
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): On the first episode, viewers will see you go to China to support your dad as he opened a new shopping center, how was that experience for you and how proud of him are you?
Dorothy Wang: “I was very proud, it was such a very special moment for my family, which is why I wanted to invite all of my friends to be there. He has had so much success, and while I’m very happy for him and all of his accomplishments, it does make me feel like, what am I going to do and how can I compete? Our parents have provided great lives for us, but we do need to make it on our own. I want to make means for ourselves…I want to be able to buy my own bags, shoes, cars, and gifts for my parents.”
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): What advice have you learned from your parents?
Dorothy Wang: “My dad has made it very clear to me that this is his money…I’m not waiting for a check to come every month, it does motivate us to be successful and to be able to carry on our family’s legacy.”
Morgan Stewart: “Luckily for us, our parents have supported whatever venture we deiced to go in. It’s not even advice, it’s more of support and we are thankful that they give us their full support in whatever we decide to do.”
Examiner.com (Anthony Bowles): What can fans expect from you in the near future?
Morgan Stewart: “BoobsandLoubs is the main focus for me at this time, and I try to make it grow as much as possible while making it homemade.”

County Commission Chairman Brent Morris, who announced in January that air and water issues would top his priority list this year, has been elected chairman of the state's new ad hoc advisory committee on particulate pollution.
Morris welcomes the new appointment to the 15-member committee because, he said, the group's efforts will play a direct role in controlling fine particulate pollution known as PM-10."I'm definitely excited to be part of it, because PM-10 is one of our most devastating health threats. My thrust is for clean air, and I'm excited to be part of an effort to minimize PM-10's effect on our health."
Morris said the new committee's purpose is "to provide recommendations to the Utah Air Conservation Committee concerning issues involved in controlling PM-10 particulate-matter pollution."
He said the committee also will review the state's implementation plan for enforcing federal PM-10 regulations and will recommend implementation strategies and alternative methods for controlling PM-10.
The committee has until May 15 to submit its recommendations to the Air Conservation Committee, after which a final report will be prepared by June 1.
"Once the final draft is done, we will hold public hearings starting June 15.' Morris said the state's final implementation plan must be submitted to the EPA by Sept. 29.
Once approved, the state will have three years to implement the plan.
Morris said Utah was supposed to have a state implementation plan in place last year. "But just because everybody's late doesn't mean it's OK."
Members of the PM-10 ad hoc committee include politicians and representatives from industry, the public, the Utah Department of Transportation and local city and county health departments.
The ad hoc committee comprises four subcommittees, each of which will examine different sources of PM-10 pollution. The subcommittees will examine regulations regarding sanding and salting of roads during winter months, check other states' efforts to restrict use of wood-burning stoves and fireplaces, make an inventory of particlute-producing industries in Utah and Salt Lake counties and look into the use of diesel fuel and possible alternatives to diesel.
Morris said the group's next meeting will be March 29. Over the next two weeks the Bureau of Air quality will study available technology for controlling PM-10.

When the Radical Right Shows Up
The presence of radical-right groups at academic conferences raises a difficult dilemma for organizers seeking to balance the limits to freedom of expression.
Over the course of the year, far-right groups in Quebec appear to have been systematically attempting to intimidate journalists and academics who focus on their activities. In May, half a dozen masked members of Atalante, a group which advocates openly for a “renaissance of the neo-French in Quebec,” gained entry to the Montreal newsroom of Vice Quebec, dumped clown noses and leaflets depicting the agency’s logo bleeding all over the newsroom and awarded journalist Simon Coutu — who covers the often challenging subject of far-right groups active in Quebec — a trophy for being a “garbage media.” In doing so, the six members of Atalanta sought to intimidate journalists and show their dissatisfaction with a recent article that described them as an ultra-nationalist and racist identarian organization tied to and modeled after the Soldiers of Odin (SOO) in Finland.
A few months earlier, about 30 members of La Meute (or The Pack, a Quebec based group which reinterprets First Nations, neo-pagan and Christian spiritual traditions in order to develop a new cultural identity for Quebecers) and of the Soldiers of Odin (an anti-immigrant vigilante group originally from Finland, but with a presence in Canada since 2016) disrupted a colloquium on the extreme right. The meeting, opened to the public, was organized by the Centre for Expertise and Training on Religious Fundamentalism and Radicalization (CEFIR), a research facility housed at the Cégep Édouard-Montpetit in a notoriously multiethnic suburb of Montreal.
Throughout the colloquium, members of La Meute and SOO, clad in “uniforms,” shouted, heckled, mimicked and mocked researchers to convey their displeasure with the radical-right label attached to them, the use of federal funding to support research on such topics, and the validity of the findings presented. Videos of the proceedings from the colloquium can be found here.
According to a CEFIR press release following the event, while members of La Meute and SOO were not invited to participate, the colloquium was opened to the general public. However, as one of the presenters and a scholar focusing largely on the Soldiers of Odin who drew the ire of the group’s members in attendance, I have spent the last few months reflecting on the experience and pondering whether a series of best practices or lessons learned can be derived from it. This is particularly important if the disruption of academic events dealing with the radical right is to become the norm, which appears likely for conferences open to the public.
An overly simplistic and arguably counterproductive response would be to outright ban entry to individuals belonging to these groups. Given that one of the more valid criticisms leveled against some of the research presented was an over-reliance on digital ethnographies and a lack of interaction or consultation with the radical-right groups, denying the members of these groups access would be likely to exacerbate their frustration and reinforce their hostility toward academic scrutiny. If we reflect honestly, it is perhaps understandable that the groups felt frustrated by a narrative that they saw as incomplete and impersonal. After all, when given access with proper ethical clearances, researchers embedded within radical-right groups have produced groundbreaking research, as is exemplified by Harel Shapira’s Waiting for José: The Minutemen’s Pursuit of America.
That being said, in addition to their behavior, which in many ways represented the antithesis of scholarly debate, the presence of uniformed members of SOO and La Meute at an open event held at a pre-university and technical college was also problematic. Radical-right groups have recently made a point of staging recruitment activities on university campuses south of the Canadian border and, in doing so, thrust institutions into political discord and, in some cases, violence. Indeed, the presence of La Meute and SOO regalia on campus was condemned by the Cégep’s student associations.
Moreover, several students I spoke to expressed concern at the sight of symbols generally associated with hate and xenophobia being publicly showcased, particularly in the aftermath of the racially motivated 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting and the twofold increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims in 2017 across Quebec. “I can’t outrun bullets,” retorted one student who lamented that he felt uncomfortable publicly engaging with the presentation. As such, while the outright ban of members of SOO or La Meute would have been heavy handed, the overt display of their uniform should have been curbed.
As eloquently articulated by Louis-Philippe Lampron, another speaker at the CEFIR colloquium, the presence of radical-right groups at academic conferences raises a difficult dilemma for organizers seeking to balance the limits to freedom of expression that can be put in place within educational and research institutions. Whilst organizers of any scientific event have a great deal of discretion in choosing the speakers they wish to include, Lampron argues that excluding individuals based of their ideological inclination or political ideology may be problematic and that in principle and at the outset, the organizers’ decision to permit members of SOO and La Meute to be present at the colloquium was well founded.
However, while a group’s potential reactivity to controversial matters may not be sufficient to justify their exclusion, it must also be clear that the expression of any opinions — and behavior such as interruption of presentations, non-compliance with the rules on speaking rights, monopolization of speaking time, covert recording of the colloquium and attempts to recruit students — cannot be made in such a way that it becomes synonymous with intimidation. Future organizers of public conferences on the radical right should, therefore, be aware of the CEFIR’s experience and plan for the possibility of having members of radical-right groups in the audience.
