Soak the dried scallops and dried shrimp in water overnight. Drain the water. Use your hands to shred the scallops. Roughly chop the dried shrimp.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet (or sauté pan) over medium-high heat. Add the scallops, shrimp, Chinese sausage, and shallots and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the oyster sauce, salt, and white pepper. Stir to combine. Turn off the heat and transfer everything to a bowl.
Trim the tops off the daikon and peel them. Grate the daikon into a 9×13 pan or a bowl. You are doing this to ensure that you save all the daikon juices that release as you are grating the turnips. Alternatively, grate the daikon using a food processor.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large wok (or sauté pan) over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic to the wok and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Transfer the grated daikon and daikon juices into the wok. Add 1 1/2 cups of water, the rock sugar, salt, chicken powder, white pepper, and garlic powder to the wok. Cover the wok with a lid and cook the daikon for about 5 minutes.
While the daikon is cooking, make the batter. Mix the rice flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of water to the flour and stir. The batter might be stiff at the beginning, but keep stirring until the batter is smooth.
Uncover the wok and turn off the heat. Dig out the pieces of garlic. You don’t want large chunks of garlic inside the cake. Add the stir fried shrimp, scallops, and Chinese sausage to the wok and stir to combine. Then, add the batter to the daikon and stir. Turn off the heat.
Lightly grease the cake pan with oil. Transfer all the ingredients from the wok to the cake pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top of the turnip cake.
Wash the wok. Cover the wok with about 2 inches of water and bring it to boil. Place the steaming rack in the center of the wok. Make sure that the water level is just below the top of the steaming rack. Then, carefully place the turnip cake on top of the steaming rack. Cover the wok and cook for 28 to 30 minutes.
Uncover the wok. Because of condensation, you may notice some water on top of the steamed cake. That’s okay. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes on the steaming rack before removing from the wok. Carefully drain the water over the sink. Let the turnip cake cool completely before serving.
To pan fry the turnip cake, I usually chill my turnip cake overnight so that the cake stiffens. Slice the cake into small squares or rectangles. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turnip cake pieces and pan fry each side for about 4 minutes, until golden brown. Serve the turnip cake with chili oil or chili oil crisp.
My mom uses chicken powder often to enhance the umami flavor of her dishes. Feel free to leave it out. You can substitute the chicken powder with onion powder to give the dish more flavor.
You can use an 8×8-inch square pan or any pan that fits inside a wok.

“If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
“I don’t know – not having been there and not seeing all the facts – what role race played in that, but I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.”
“With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case. Because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed. And I know that everybody here at Bell is studying hard so you know that we’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws.”
“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor…period.”
“The government will no longer support the Defense of Marriage Act (signed into law by President Bill Clinton), since it violates Constitutional principles.”
“You’re right, John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith…”
“When you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“We gotta have a civilian national security force…”
““We must address the grievances that terrorists exploit,” by finding programs in “entrepreneurship and science and technology. ”
I got more examples…

“Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received the due penalty for their error.” (Romans 1:26-27) Sounds pretty clear, no matter which culture you’re referring to.

So, it appears that under the net neutrality rules that are proposed by the FCC, only the big corporations that offer internet—like Comcast—will be able to pay fines and fees levied against them. Hence, those big companies that supported Dems in the past will rule the internet. Just like they did during the bank solvency era.
Exactly. In addition, a large percentage of new internet tax revenue will go into a big Government slush fund, partly to fund more expansion of power and also to reward supporters of big government and Democrats. Q:Where did the money come from to buy “Obamaphones”? A:A tax on consumers for their communication usage.
Your logic is so convoluted. Here is a little chart which shows to whom and how much Comcast bribed, oops "contributed", to politicians in 2014. A lot more went to Republicons than Democrats. Don't you understand that big business will dominate your life even more than big government?

This started with Comcast. Back in 2009, the tech editor for PC Magazine revealed he was being throttled back on his “unlimited bandwidth use” contract by Comcast, who could not tell him what his bandwidth limit was. Many readers e-mailed him about how they, too were being targeted by Comcast. In 2010, the same tech editor wrote how he was getting e-mails from people that were saying they couldn’t not share files through legal file sharing methods like YouSendIt. Again, by Comcast, They were being sent fake messages during the file transfers that appeared to be from the other user, saying they had to break the internet connection. So, two violations of federal law by Comcast. So a panel was set up by the FCC in NYC to air the grievances of the public. 1000 seats open to the public—first come, first serve. A staff photog of the AP saw many street people taking up a lot of the seats. He asked one of them how they got there. The guy told them a white Comcast van came and picked them all up and gave them 10 bucks apiece to sit in the seats. It appeared at the time that Comcast wanted to limit the access of the public to the FCC panel. I knew this would lead to legislation over the internet. So, after all this, Comcast was still allowed to buy NBC/Universal.
So, it appears that under the net neutrality rules that are proposed by the FCC, only the big corporations that offer internet---like Comcast---will be able to pay fines and fees levied against them. Hence, those big companies that supported Dems in the past will rule the internet. Just like they did during the bank solvency era.
David Cohen "oversees lobbying at the Comcast Corporation" and "hosted the president and some 120 guests" at his home in Philadelphia, the Times reported. Guests "paid at least $10,000 each to attend; Mr. Obama called Mr. Cohen and his wife ‘great friends.’"

I saw a documentary from Australian television about this a couple of years ago. The reason they build these cities is to keep their building infrastructure active. This keeps China’s Gross Domestic Product high and allows them to deflate their own currency. This building also allows them to skirt climate change laws. That’s the only reason they’re doing this.
What’s with her visiting a mosque, anyway? This seems a provision for her to even visit Abu Dabi, because I haven’t heard of her visiting Christian churches here in the good ‘ole USA…

Proverbs 30:15: “The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry. ‘There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’ ” What family does that remind you of?
This is nothing new. During Obama’s bank solvency days, my hometown bank was forced to close because of “illegal banking activities.” It actually said so on the Dept of Treasury’s web site. What happened was the Treasury Department was forcing small banks out of existence by incrementally raising the amount of lending capital the banks had to have on hand in the building. When they raised it to such a level that smaller banks could not comply, those banks were closed and put up for sale. My bank was sold to TD Bank (Canadian!)…before they were actually closed! I promptly closed my account and moved my accounts elsewhere. The bank manager also quit in protest and one of their best tellers ended up at the bank I moved my money to.

Updated: Apr 4, 2021
I've written previous posts addressing the basics of recording pre-screens and video auditions with the benefit of access to dance studios, accompanists and other resources. Because EVERYTHING is different in 2020, adjusting suggestions for recording pre-screens and audition videos seems like a no-brainer.
Keep in mind that best practices shouldn't go out the window just because you are stuck having to record from home. Here are a few suggestions for making your pre-screens and videos look their best with the limitations presented by at-home recording.
A neutral background with few to no distractions will immediately help the viewer focus on you and your performance. A bare wall, solid curtain or repeating non-distracting pattern will do the trick. Make sure you wear something that contrasts with whatever background you have available. No "black shirts with a black curtain background". In the recording that equals a talented floating head and hands.
If the college program doesn't indicate how they'd like shots framed, here are a few suggestions for contemporary monologues, songs, classical monologues and dance. Note that in these examples the top of the performer's head is not cut off.
Contemporary monologues: "Close-up" = chest to top of head. Record in landscape mode.
Song: "3/4" shot = knees to top of head. Record in landscape mode.
Classical monologue & dance: "Full-body" = top of head to below feet. Landscape is better but it's often necessary to film this in portrait mode to keep the full body in the frame. If you don't have access to a studio at this time, it's okay to film outdoors, in a garage or on a deck if that's your only suitable space. Yes, this increases the possibility for more distractions, but many of the programs understand that dance-worthy options are limited in the current environment.
Eye level is the most appropriate level for filming these videos. An angle that shoots up your nose or brings your chest closer to the camera isn't flattering. Don't forget, the audience cannot see what the phone or camera is placed upon when you do your recordings, so get creative. When a tripod wasn't available, we've found success using a table with a chair upon it, stacked cardboard boxes with books and even a step ladder to achieve the right camera height and stability.
Perfect lighting might be difficult but "pretty good" lighting is quite possible. All you really need is decent front lighting that isn't too bright and no intense backlighting.
Be sure you watch takes before packing everything up.
Here's the first of a few videos highlighting some of the frequently encountered video audition submission issues.
More prescreen and video tips to come so subscribe to my youtube channel and stay tuned!

Upgraded to 3.0.1 for menu , cant drop down menu
First post, please be gentle.
Have been running WP 2.9 and just upgraded to 3.0.1. (nice and easy!)
The reason for the upgrade was to use the menu (in admin) so that I could create drop down menus, but unfortuantly when I create a menu, it just shows everything in the menu space (top of nixta.co.uk) instead of showing the top level then on hover/click showing the rest of the 2nd level.
I added to my function.php file
add_theme_support( ‘menus’ );
I also added this to my header.php
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘sort_column’ => ‘menu_order’, ‘container_class’ => ‘menu-header’ ) ); ?>
but like I say, I get no ‘drop-down’ effect on the menus, just the complete list of both hierachys of the menu.
I hope I make sense to you?
- The topic ‘Upgraded to 3.0.1 for menu , cant drop down menu’ is closed to new replies.

A short video here gives some information
I’m writing to you to let you know about the part time, online options for Disability Studies / Disability Equality Studies in St Angela’s college in Sligo. I would be very grateful if you would consider sharing this with anyone that you think might be interested – we particularly want to encourage applications from disabled people. The options may also appeal to people working for, or living with disabled people and those working in the disability sector who aren’t currently in a position to take on a full-time programme of education. Community development practitioners may also be interested in the options.
We have created several study options, all commence in September 2017;
Option 1 - Students wishing to ‘test the waters’ of third level education can opt to take one key Stand-alone Module, without committing to a programme with an academic award (http://www.stangelas.nuigalway.ie/departments/course_details.php?id=INT61&&ver=en)
Option 2 – Students wishing to gain an academic award, can enrol onto the Certificate in Disability Studies programme, which involves taking two modules of part-time study, the certificate can be completed within a year ( Certificate in Disability Studies).
Option 3 – We also offer students the opportunity to undertake the Bachelor of Arts in Disability Equality Studies; a four-year part-time programme of study. After successfully completing 2 years of study, students may choose to leave with a Diploma in Disability Equality Studies (BA (Disability Equality Studies) Programme ).

To evaluate the electrooculogram (EOG) in a large series of patients with Best disease and autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy.A retrospective review of consecutive cases at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom. Patients with Best disease or autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy who, after electrophysiologic testing, had a normal or atypical EOG light rise were identified. Main outcome measure was EOG amplitude, clinical phenotype and genotype.One hundred thirteen patients were identified with likely disease-causing sequence variants in BEST1 (99 Best disease and 14 autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy). Electrooculograms had been performed in 75 patients. Twenty patients (27%) had no detectable light rise (Arden ratio of 100%) and 49 (65%) had Arden ratios of between 100% to 165%. Six patients (8%) were found to have an EOG light rise of >165%. No cases demonstrated significant interocular asymmetry in EOG amplitude.The current work provides significant clinical evidence that the EOG phenotype in Best disease and autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy is more variable than currently appreciated. As a normal EOG may occur in the presence of a classical fundus appearance, the consequences of BEST1 mutation may be independently expressed, possibly mediated through differential effects on intracellular calcium homeostasis.

Trump’s fishing folly endangers marine national monuments
AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS AND MONUMENTS are facing an archaic but familiar threat. In the 1870s, poachers continued to exterminate Yellowstone’s bison, even after President Ulysses S. Grant signed a law establishing Yellowstone National Park. In the 1890s, US Calvary troops had to be deployed to Yosemite to stop logging, despite its new status as a national park. And now, America’s marine national monuments are at risk of being reopened to industrial-scale commercial fishing.
But unlike past presidents, who had the courage to chase extractive industries out of Yellowstone, Yosemite, and other newly created parks and monuments, President Trump is auctioning off our national treasures as if they were rusty golf clubs at his personal yard sale.
First, President Trump and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke shrank the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah as a favor to the uranium and oil industries (and then tried to cover up their motivations).
Now — as if to test whether Trump is indeed capable of allowing the private exploitation of every inch of America’s public lands and oceans — the administration is preparing to eliminate protections for the handful of “no take” ocean areas in the United States where commercial fishing is prohibited.
This time, the order to attack America’s natural wonders will likely fall to the acting director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Timothy Gallaudet. In a recent speech at the Department of Commerce, Gallaudet reportedly signaled that he plans to open all marine national monuments, including those established by presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, to commercial fishing within 90 days. Gallaudet’s presentation attempts to justify this attack on America’s marine protected areas under the guise of “Reducing the Seafood Deficit.”
Allowing fishing trawlers to raid the coral reefs and shark breeding grounds in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument or in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monument — 130 miles off the coast of Cape Cod — won’t put a sardine-sized dent in the volume of cheap farmed shrimp and tilapia the US imports from Asia.
More important, however, allowing for the commercial exploitation of America’s marine national monuments reduces them to little more than names on the map — so-called paper parks — with no real protections for the marine life and natural wonders within their boundaries. Who would visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park if clear-cutting were allowed? Who would climb the Grand Tetons to look out on oil fields?
Gallaudet still has time to reconsider his plans and avoid a mistake that will damage America’s oceans and permanently tarnish his reputation.
In particular, Gallaudet — the former chief oceanographic scientist for the US Navy and a graduate of the distinguished Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego — should pause to review emerging scientific data about how marine protected areas tend to increase, not decrease, the value and productivity of nearby commercial fisheries.
In other words, marine national monuments not only safeguard endangered sharks, whales, and seabirds, but they also help rebuild and sustain commercial fishing stocks.
Both the landings and revenues of Hawaii’s commercial fishermen, for example, have climbed since President George W. Bush established the vast Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in 2006. This isn’t actually surprising to scientists: Studies have found that the number of large fish species is 36 percent greater inside the boundaries of other marine protected areas, and that when marine protected areas are well managed and enforced, the increased reproductive capacity of larger and more plentiful fish results in a “spillover” of juvenile fish out to surrounding fishing grounds, adding to the total quantity of fish that can be caught and sold.
The science and the economics should make the fate of America’s marine national monuments an easy decision for Gallaudet. But the acting NOAA administrator is, no doubt, under intense pressure from the White House to advance policies that can be transformed into tweet-sized falsehoods on international trade.
Gallaudet’s conscience in concert with his scientific training must prevail. As the steward of one of America’s proud natural resource agencies, he must find the courage to do what our nation’s leaders of both parties have done without fail for more than a century: defend our parks, monuments, and protected areas against all forces, no matter their power or greed, for the benefit of all Americans.
John Podesta served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, counselor to President Barack Obama, and chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Aside from the Rook and Ronin Omnibus, I’ve already read the top 8 books on the list for May, with one acception (a DNF). So, that’s only 7 books I have to read. All 7 of those are NetGalley books being released in May. I like to try to put up my review on release day or very close. 7 books isn’t a thing, so I’ll be adding in lots of other books this month. Honestly, reading them is way simpler than writing the reviews for me (it takes away from my reading time!!!!), so I don’t know how many more reviews I’ll be adding to the list above for May. That’ll be a surprise!!

Jenny O. has released a new song every two weeks since announcing her third full-length record ‘New Truth‘ and her signing to Mama Bird Recording Co. ‘Even if I Tried‘ has a fuzzy psychedelic feel to it, but the lyrics belie the sunny aspect of the sound. It’s about enough is really enough.
Jenny O. has said “Everyone knows somebody who is always a critic and just won’t listen. Often those with the strongest opinions have the most uninspired lives. People exist this way for years, decades, generations. Fortunately, you can ditch them for supportive friends and a life of curiosity and fun.”
And yes, we did spot the irony there.

|Col. Sutherland meets veteran and student David Jackson.|
The EVVEC, hosted by Rio Salado College, opened last month as a "one-stop-shop" where veterans can get practical information about the educational resources available to successfully pursue a college education.
Touring the facility, Sutherland noted the importance of community partnerships in the successful transition from military member to student.
“I’m on the road 22 days a month, going into communities to pull together the efforts of educators, nonprofits and service providers,” Sutherland said. “By bringing in community partnerships, you enable veterans to connect with each other and to the support they need.”
The EVVEC hosts monthly educational and employment related workshops in conjunction with their community partners, and also offers veterans assistance with applying for VA benefits, referrals to community resources, and cultural events/activities to ease the transition to college life.
Community partners include the Arizona Departments of Veterans Services and Economic Security, the Phoenix VA Regional Office, Phoenix VA Healthcare System and the Veterans Upward Bound Program.
“Military members are leaving behind bonds that exist on the battlefield,” Sutherland said. “Whether it is in Africa, Korea, Afghanistan, Nellis Air Force Base or Iraq, the bond is unlike any other. You deploy, fight, and redeploy as a family. When you return, you are looking for something to fill that void.”
To learn more about the programs and services available to veterans and their families visit www.evvec.org.

The Boston Red Sox have made it clear that they want to ink outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury to a long-term deal. Unfortunately for the Sox, Ellsbury’s agent has said that kind of talk must wait for the offseason, and it may not come at all. I’ll give you two guesses who Ellsbury’s agent is, but you’re only going to need one…
Referring to his client, Scott Boras told the Boston Herald, “These things are offseason discussions. Whenever people ask me midseason about contracts, you have to make sure the players finishes the season. Only then is it the right point.”
Translation: Ellsbury’s value will be higher this offseason or when he’s finally eligible for free agency in a few years, talk to us then.
Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein has made Ellsbury a priority saying, “He’s somebody we’ve long believed in, we’ve long seen as a core young member of the organization that we would love to keep around.”
Yes you committed to and believed in him, cultivated his talent, carefully brought him along, gave him his shot and didn’t give up on him when he struggled…but Scott Boras needs another yacht, so you’re going to have to wait to talk about a contract.
Ellsbury is having another excellent year in Boston. He’s currently hitting .316 with 15 home runs, 54 RBI and 28 stolen bases. He’s had a great bounce-back season after missing all but 18 games of 2010 with rib injuries suffered in April that saw him bounce back and forth to the disabled list all season.
Ellsbury is under team control through the 2013 season, but the Red Sox clearly want to lock the 27-year-old up far beyond that. With Boras in charge of the negotiations, they may not get that chance for a while.

Bengals receiver A.J. Green hauls in a touchdown reception against the… (Jason Miller / Getty Images )
Pittsburgh (2-3) at Cincinnati (3-3)
Time: 5:15 p.m. TV: Channel 4
Story line: History supports Pittsburgh in this AFC North contest (Steelers have won four straight and nine of 11 in the rivalry.). Things are different this season, however. The Steelers are reeling with injuries to safety Troy Polamalu, running back Rashard Mendenhall and linebacker James Harrison, plus they re coming off a loss at weak Tennessee. The Bengals have lost two straight and don't possess much of a run game. Home-field advantage and NFL receiving yards leader A.J. Green give the hosts an slight edge.
Steelers said: "The panic button, we're tapping on it. We can't lose no more, that's the approach. Five, six losses you ain't going to be in the playoffs." — Larry Foote, linebacker.
Bengals said: "We're learning to communicate together and figure those things out. That's the key to the running game." — Andrew Whitworth, tackle, on line's instability.
Bottom line: The Bengals are favored by one point. … Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is 14-2 in games played in his native Ohio. … Because of injury, rookie Mike Adams is expected to start at right tackle for Pittsburgh. … Bengals' Green has a TD in five consecutive games.

Daily links for the LA Angels including what to do with Mike Napoli, sometimes bad pitchers get good again, checking in with the Angels playing in Venezuela and much more.
The Story: What would you do with Mike Napoli?
The Monkey Says: Thanks for asking! Personally, I would keep him around as a super-utility player of sorts, having him split time between catcher, first base and DH. He isn’t much of a defender at any position, but he is death on left-handed pitching. Unfortunately, I am not the Angels and they are very likely to trade him to a team who would prefer to use him on a more full-time basis.
The Story: Sometimes bad pitchers get good again.
The Monkey Says: Guess who this article is about? If you didn’t guess Scott Kazmir, you are hereby banned from my blog. Hang your head in shame and quietly exit through the back. I’d like to believe Kaz can bounce back all the way, but I just don’t see a whole lot of reason for hope from him. At best, he can settle in as a back of the rotation starter as he learns how to pitch without having his full arsenal at his disposal.
The Story: An update on the Angels’ prospects playing in the Venezuelan winter leagues.
The Monkey Says: Trumbo and Conger are blowing up, but Alexi Amarista is struggling, but that shouldn’t be too concerning as he is not nearly as advanced in the minors as Trumbo and Conger are.
The Story: The top Angels prospects #30 thru #26.
The Monkey Says: I have to echo the same sentiment as the article in regards to Rich Thompson. He has been on the cusp of breaking through for years now and finally seems ready. I just hope he doesn’t get squeezed out in the roster logjam this coming season.

Image 1: It was a serious joint effort over the phone between our hotel concierge and a local guy who we grabbed off the street to locate this restaurant. The difficulty arose due to the fact that the restaurant had just moved to a new site 3 days ago without informing our concierge despite having made the booking just the week before!
Image 2: The rain didn't help either. After knocking the door of nearby neighbours, the new location turned out to be only 50 meters down the road on the opposite side of the street! What an unlucky start losing more than 30min from our tight 1.5-hour lunch slot as we had a train to catch back to Sapporo.
Image 3: Although I was wet and very annoyed, once I entered this sushi-ya, I said to myself, "good that I didn't give up in the end". I immediately fell in love with this brand new modern sushi counter and the impressive "jewellery box" showcasing the array of fresh seafood available on the day, along with the renown Otaru glass serviceware which was made locally.
Image 4: Knowing our time contraint the Chef began working on our meal immediately. Though I was very concerned about the time, he was very relaxed. As I gazed on to the repetition of the masterful skill that went into the preparation of each sushi, strating with the knife skills on the fish and the handling of the rice, I soon began to wind down to relax as well.
Image 5: My first sushi was ready with hardly any waiting time. The meal began with seabream. They had a tiny soy sauce dish for each diner but it wasn't needed at all since the homemade sauce glazed on top was perfect for me. All I had to do was to pick it up with my fingers and pop it into my mouth. A high quality start but I wanted to try a few more to judge.
Image 6: Chef Katsutoshi jumped right into the fatty cut and I couldn't complain - o-toro, fattiest part of the tuna belly. This was divine! A perfect piece of o-toro giving a truly melt-in-mouth sensation with uniform marbling throughout without any chewiness. . None of the o-toro we had in this trip, including a 3-star restaurant, came anywhere close to this!
Image 7: I got really excited when he took out a huge abalone which he sliced off a couple of pieces for us. I admired the texture in particular, with its firmness yet retaining a bit of the crunchiness along with the sweetness from the sauce followed by a very intense abalone flavour. Incredible!
Image 8: When I entered the restaurant I already had my eyes on these jumbo local shrimps and yes, I was getting a piece of it!
Image 9: The shell was removed and its distinct green roe was used as garnish. Wow, this was exceptional! The creamy and moist texture, the heavenly pure flavour of the shrimp, together with the warm sushi rice that I could feel each grain of rice with a nice touch of vinegar, I couldn't ask for more!
Image 10: Scallop, my favourite shellfish and Chef Katsutoshi didn't disappoint me. Moist, velvet, with the right amount of sauce coated on top and the temperature contrast of the rice underneath, it was a beauty!
Image 11: This must be my first time having this specie of surf clam as I didn't recall seeing this unusual pale purple colour before. Very thin as it was butterflied and similar to the abalone, I really appreciated the extra crunchiness in the middle.
Image 12: We had a lot of snow crab over the last few days in Hokkaido and this one was similarly of high quality. Very juicy and poached to perfection.
Image 13: Hard to believe but what appeared to be a simple looking salmon sushi with ginger garnish turned out to be the most memorable item of this meal! How could such a lean cut be so creamy and simply dissolve inside my mouth? The hint of ginger at the end was the icing on the cake. This was not an ordinary salmon sushi, but Chef Katsutoshi's salmon sushi. Astonishing!
Image 14: We had kinki (thornyhead) a few times already during the trip but this one clearly stood out from the rest due to the amount of moisture retained in the flesh. And his homemade light soy concortion was seductive.
Image 15: Red snapper, a very firm fish and versatile when pairing with spice. It was topped with a mix of ginger and horseradish.
Image 16: Akami, a lean cut from the back of the tuna, and mantis shrimp. At this point, it became obvious that he sourced or treated his fish differently. We had the same types of sushi at other reasonably top sushi-ya's but both of these had much more moisture in the centre and far more enjoyable.
Image 17: Well, we knew he would save the most powerful sushi at the end, salmon roe and sea urchin. Like the snow crab, Hokkaido is renown for the superior quality of the salmon roe and sea urchin and both of these were on par with the ones we had on the trip. Needless to say, the uni was fresh without any trace of myoban bitterness and I particular liked the roe not being overly salty.
Image 18: A miso soup to finish off one of the best sushi meal I've ever had. Looking at the time, we still had 45min left! Yes, it took him 15min to make two sets of 15piece without sacrificing his quality of work at all. I had to double check the clock just to convince myself! And I realized both my soy sauce plate and my chopsticks were untouched.
Image 19: Chef Katsutoshi truly demonstrated the art of sushi making. He was calm and efficient as if every motion was optimized using the least energy and time, all whilst delivering consistently fautless sushi. A pleasure to watch!
Image 20: What seemed to be subtle aspects are actually what distinguish top sushi chefs - the precision of each drop of sauce, the tiny touch of garnish, the thickness of the fish, the amount of rice, the temperature contrast of the fish and the rice, and most importantly the way that he kept the freshness of the fish so that the abalone was more crunchy or the salmon was more creamy.
Image 21: Just as we were about to complain how unsatisfied we were with many Michelin sushi-ya's we had so far in this Hokkaido trip, this 2-star sushi-ya surprised us with the highest quality nigiri we had since our Sushi Saito experience in Tokyo three years ago! And all that for half the price of the 3-star Tanabe in Sapporo!

“This new recycling facility helps to meet the region’s growing demand for a sustainable solution to the challenges of managing organic residuals,” said Eric Zimmer, President and CEO of Synagro.
Punta Gorda, Florida (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Synagro Technologies, Inc., the nation's largest recycler of organic residuals, has completed construction of its newest organics recycling center, a $4.3 million composting facility in Southwest Florida. A grand opening ceremony is scheduled to be held February 20th as the center begins converting biosolids and green waste into Class AA compost.
“This new recycling facility helps to meet the region’s growing demand for a sustainable solution to the challenges of managing organic residuals,” said Eric Zimmer, President and CEO of Synagro. “By converting these waste materials to a beneficial product we can create a safe and affordable agricultural nutrient as a sustainable alternative to these valuable organic materials just taking up space in the landfill. It’s a great solution to an ongoing challenge that provides a greener and lower cost alternative. We are proud of the achievements that our technical team - working with our many local partners - have made in making this center a reality. Together, we are creating an environmentally and economically sustainable solution to managing the region’s organic wastes.”
The center will minimize environmental impact by utilizing proven aerobic composting to recycle organics including biosolids, yard trimmings and other green waste. To gain approval and permitting for the operation of the facility, Synagro worked closely with local and County officials, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and US EPA to assure that the plant meets all regulatory requirements. The Synagro facility produces a valuable Class AA soil amendment for use in the local marketplace. The environmentally friendly design includes 100 percent recycling of the organic materials.
Synagro markets the compost under the name of AllGro™. The product is a natural soil amendment that is less expensive than synthetic fertilizers and is proven to improve the physical structure of all types of soil by introducing organic matter that helps promote plant growth.
Synagro currently operates three similar composting facilities, winning accolades such as U.S. Composting Council’s Composter of the Year, the CalRecycle Waste Reduction Award Program (WRAP) Winner and the National Biosolids Partnership EMS Gold Certification.
“The bio-recycling center is a great asset to our sustainability programs, and a far-reaching benefit to the community,” said Bill Truex, Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners, “The reduction of greenhouse emissions and elimination of landfilling will help create a healthier environment for everyone, while saving the County money and bringing in a new revenue stream from contractors paying to use the facility.”
Under a 20-year lease agreement with Charlotte County Public Works the facility located at the Zemel Road landfill will help divert organic material from the landfill and will provide a long-term sustainable and economic recycling solution for the region.
Founded in 1986, Synagro provides a system of solutions for civic and commercial organizations that manages by-products to create new, environmentally compelling options. The Company’s reliable, lasting system transforms industrial and municipal waste into environmentally sustainable resources that benefit our communities and our planet—before an environmental footprint is left behind. As the largest recycler of organic by-products in the United States, Synagro uses best-in-class processes from beneficial reuse to renewable energy that adhere to the strictest of environmental regulations to provide sustainable solutions for communities across the nation. Serving more than 600 municipal and industrial water and wastewater facilities throughout the U.S., the Company’s leading systems of by-product management services help municipalities of all sizes save money and meet environmental regulations.

Thermal Liquid Library
Why Use Thermal Liquid Blocks?
The thermal behavior of liquid systems is of interest in many engineering applications. Liquids can store energy and release it back to their surroundings, often doing work in the process. Oil flow through an underground pipeline and hydraulic fluid flow in an aircraft actuator are two examples.
When temperature fluctuations are negligible, liquids behave as isothermal fluids, which simplifies the modeling process. However, when detailed thermal analysis is a goal, or when temperature fluctuations are significant, this assumption is no longer suitable.
The Thermal Liquid library provides a modeling tool that you can use to analyze the thermal behavior of thermal liquid systems. Three featured examples show some applications well-suited for Thermal Liquid modeling:
ssc_tl_oil_pipeline— Model oil temperature along an insulated underground pipeline.
ssc_tl_hydraulic_fluid_warming— Model hydraulic fluid warming due to viscous dissipation inside a hydraulic actuator.
ssc_tl_water_hammer— Model the water hammer effect due to a fast-turning hydraulic valve.
Representing Thermal Liquid Components
Thermal liquid systems can range in complexity from basic to highly specialized. To model a basic system, simple components often suffice. These are components such as chambers, pipes, pumps, and the liquid medium itself. Simple components are often industry independent and can be modeled using a single Thermal Liquid block. For example, you can model a pipeline segment using a single Pipe (TL) block.
To model a specialized system, generally you use custom components. These are
components that you cannot represent by a single Thermal Liquid block. The five-way
directional control valve in the
example is one such component. Custom components are often industry specific and
must be modeled by grouping Thermal Liquid blocks into more complex
The Thermal Liquid library shares the structure of other Simscape™ Foundation libraries. Four sublibraries supply the Thermal Liquid blocks: Elements, Sources, Sensors, and Utilities. With these sublibraries you can represent the most common components of a thermal liquid system. The table summarizes these components.
|Component Type||Description||Thermal Liquid Blocks|
|Liquid storage||Store liquid in chambers or reservoirs.||Constant Volume Chamber (TL), Reservoir (TL), Controlled Reservoir (TL)|
|Liquid transport||Transport thermal liquid through closed conduits such as pipes.||Pipe (TL)|
|Flow restriction||Restrict thermal liquid flow, e.g., due to valves or fittings.||Local Restriction (TL)|
|Mechanical interfaces||Interface thermal liquid and mechanical systems, e.g., to convert liquid mechanical energy into useful work.||Translational Mechanical Converter (TL), Rotational Mechanical Converter (TL)|
|Power sources||Provide a power source to the thermal liquid system, e.g. , pressure difference or mass flow rate.||Mass Flow Rate Source (TL), Pressure Source (TL), Controlled Mass Flow Rate Source (TL), Controlled Pressure Source (TL)|
|Sensors||Output measurement data for dynamic variables such as mass flow rate, energy flow rate, pressure, and temperature.||Pressure & Temperature Sensor (TL), Mass & Energy Flow Rate Sensor (TL), Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL), Volumetric Flow Rate Sensor (TL)|
|Thermal liquid||Specify thermodynamic properties and pressure-temperature validity region of thermal liquid medium.||Thermal Liquid Settings (TL)|
Specifying Thermal Liquid Medium
The Thermal Liquid Settings (TL) block specifies the thermodynamic properties of the liquid medium. These properties are assumed functions of both pressure and temperature. This assumption boosts model fidelity, especially in models in which pressure, temperature, or both, vary widely.
The block accepts two-way lookup tables as input. These tables provide the different thermodynamic property values at discrete pressures and temperatures. You can populate these tables using empirical data from product data sheets or values calculated from analytical expressions.
Modeling Multidomain Systems
Thermal Liquid blocks can contain different types of conserving ports. These ports include not only Thermal Liquid conserving ports but also thermal and mechanical conserving ports. By using these ports, you can interface a Thermal Liquid subsystem with thermal and mechanical subsystems.
For instance, you can use the thermal conserving port of a Pipe (TL) block to
model conductive heat transfer through a pipe wall. Oil pipeline modeling is one
application. The example
ssc_tl_oil_pipeline shows this
Similarly, you can use the translational mechanical conserving ports of a
Translational Mechanical Converter (TL) block to convert hydraulic pressure in a
thermal liquid system into a mechanical actuation force. Hydraulic actuator modeling
is one application. The example
shows this approach.
The table lists the Thermal Liquid blocks that have thermal or mechanical conserving ports. You can use these blocks to create a multidomain model containing thermal liquid, thermal, and mechanical subsystems.
|Thermal Liquid Block||Thermal Conserving Port||Mechanical Conserving Port|
|Constant Volume Chamber (TL)||✓||✗|
|Rotational Mechanical Converter (TL)||✓||✓|
|Translational Mechanical Converter (TL)||✓||✓|

Some Christchurch land-zoning decisions are likely to be overturned, the city's recovery boss says.
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) said last month it would review all insured residential property owners who wanted to query their land zoning. Residents had until the end of last month apply for a review.
Cera chief executive Roger Sutton had previously said zoning changes were unlikely, but yesterday told local radio some of the 1300 zonings challenges would succeed.
"I think there will be some changes. Some people will go red, some people will go green," he said. "I don't know how many people, but [there are] 180,000 properties in Christchurch [and] 7000 went red . . . you'd expect there'd be some changes, wouldn't you?"
Major changes were unlikely, Sutton said. "I don't think there'll be 1300 happy people at the end of it."
Sutton told The Press in April that a huge amount of work had gone into deciding what properties were red-zoned, and there would be no changes.
A letter sent last month to residents in Baker St in New Brighton echoed that view.
"I must emphasise that changes to zoning are unlikely, and the checks will be based on the area-wide assessment of land damage in these areas," Sutton wrote.
Brooklands red-zone resident Stephen Bourke, who is part of group considering court action to stay on their land, believed Sutton had softened his stance under pressure.
Few of the residents Bourke had spoken to were expecting changes. "It's got to the point that [Cera] have got to do something because they're wrong," he said.
An advisory group will present a report on the land to Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee at the end of the month.
Brownlee has said that the zoning review would not revisit the criteria but would check whether they had been consistently applied and that boundary lines had been drawn sensibly.
A Cera spokesman said yesterday the process had "moved on" since Sutton's letter to Baker St residents. The review was now under way and Sutton had this week spoken to the advisory group about its progress, he said.
The decisions and the announcement would be driven by Brownlee, the spokesman said.

How were Americans discriminated against socially, economically and politically?
After the American Civil War, the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were added to the US Constitution in which was to abolish slavery, establishing citizenship and providing legal and political equality for African Americans. There were many uprising of white opposition to racial equality; this lead to further segregation and discrimination against African Americans. African Americans were discriminated against socially ranging from police punishment to the killing of thousands of African Americans, economically in which African American were exploited for their labour and lastly politically in which rights to vote were stripped away.
Initially, white opposition group such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was formed; their main purpose along US Supreme Court decision lead to the weakening of the 14th Amendment which established citizenship and stated “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of laws; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” As a result, it affected all changed that African Americans has made during the Reconstruction leading to the political and economic inferiority. Additionally, a system of laws was established to label area as either “white” or “coloured” which further prove the discrimination and segregation. Furthermore, the discrimination and segregation of races were prominent in everyday life. An example to illustrate this is the way in which African Americans were addressed often as “ negroes” or “nigga” ; this emphasised the harsh humiliation faced everyday. Moreover, according to historian Robert Weisbrot, segregation in use of facilities were also dominant throughout. In 1905 Georgia prohibited African American and whites from using the same park facilities ; playgrounds had to specify which race could use them. Furthermore, African Americans and whites could not visit the zoo at the same time . Telephone booths and public libraries were designated for whites only use. Not only that, there were separated doors to churches, toilets , stairs and elevator; African Americans were constantly reminded of the discrimination and segregation. Another form of social discrimination was the act of lynching which is an extra judicial homicide . The killing of African Americans were most prominent from 1888 to 1923 as over 2,500 African Americans were lynched by white mobs. Accusations of sexual harassment towards white women was also a factor that lead to the hanging of African American man. A prime example to illustrate the harshness was a teenager called Emmitt Till whom was lynched for saying a few words to a white women. All these forms of segregation exposed the harshness and concrete system of discrimination.
Discrimination economically comes in the form of inferiority and slavery. Many African Americans were under the system in which the whites are in compl...

The 320C6201B DSP is a member of the fixed-point DSP family in the 320C6000 platform. The
SM/SMJ320C6201B (C6201B) device is based on the high-performance, advanced VelociTI
very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture developed by Texas Instruments (TI), making this DSP an
excellent choice for multichannel and multifunction applications. With performance of up to 1600 million
instructions per second (MIPS) at a clock rate of 200 MHz, the C6201B offers cost-effective solutions to
high-performance DSP programming challenges. The C6201B is a newer revision of the C6201. The C6201B
DSP possesses the operational flexibility of high-speed controllers and the numerical capability of array
processors. This processor has 32 general-purpose registers of 32-bit word length and eight highly independent
functional units. The eight functional units provide six arithmetic logic units (ALUs) for a high degree of
parallelism and two 16-bit multipliers for a 32-bit result. The C6201B can produce two multiply-accumulates
(MACs) per cycle - for a total of 400 million MACs per second (MMACS). The C6201B DSP also has
application-specific hardware logic, on-chip memory, and additional on-chip peripherals.
The C6201B includes a large bank of on-chip memory and has a powerful and diverse set of peripherals.
Program memory consists of a 64K-byte block that is user-configurable as cache or memory-mapped program
space. Data memory of the C6201B consists of two 32K-byte blocks of RAM for improved concurrency. The
peripheral set includes two multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSPs), two general-purpose timers, a
host-port interface (HPI), and a glueless external memory interface (EMIF) capable of interfacing to SDRAM
or SBSRAM and asynchronous peripherals.
The C6201B has a complete set of development tools which includes: a new C compiler, a third-party Ada 95
compiler, an assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a Windows debugger interface
for visibility into source code execution.

Bolivia's President Evo Morales delivers a speech at the presidential palace in La Paz, Thursday, Sept. 11, 2008. Morales said Wednesday that he is expelling the U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Philip Goldberg, for allegedly inciting violent opposition protests.(AP Photo/Juan Karita)
LA PAZ, Bolivia - Violent clashes over this fractured nation's political future have claimed eight lives and unleashed a diplomatic crisis, with Bolivia and the U.S. expelling each other's ambassadors.
Venezuela, meanwhile, kicked out its top U.S. diplomat and the South American allies demanded that Washington stay out of their affairs.
Anti-government protesters fought backers of President Evo Morales in Bolivia's pro-autonomy east with clubs, machetes and guns Thursday, killing at least eight people and injuring 20, authorities reported.
The demonstrators also seized natural gas fields, halting half of Bolivia's gas exports to Brazil, its No. 1 customer, for nearly seven hours, according to the affected Transierra pipeline company.
"We're going to tolerate only so much. Patience has its limits," Morales told supporters on Thursday. The Aymara Indian and former coca growers' union leader has so far hesitated to mobilize the military, fearing major bloodshed.
Vice President Alvaro Garcia announced a day of national mourning.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials angered by Morales' decision to expel Washington's ambassador for allegedly inciting opposition protesters responded Thursday by kicking out Bolivia's envoy to the United States.
"In response to unwarranted actions and in accordance with the Vienna Convention (on diplomatic protocol), we have officially informed the government of Bolivia of our decision to declare Ambassador Gustavo Guzman persona non grata," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. Diplomats declared "persona non grata" are generally given 72 hours to depart.
Earlier on Thursday, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca told reporters that he had requested U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg's expulsion but added that he also wrote Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to say Bolivia "wishes to maintain bilateral relations."
Morales had accused Goldberg of conspiring with Bolivia's conservative opposition. Goldberg met last week with Santa Cruz Gov. Ruben Costas, one of the Bolivian president's most virulent opponents.
In Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez, in a show of solidarity with his ally Morales, gave the U.S. ambassador to his country, Patrick Duddy, 72 hours to leave and announced the recall of Venezuela's ambassador to Washington.
Chavez also once again accused the United States of backing a coup to overthrow him, a claim the U.S. has repeatedly denied.
"That's enough ... from you, Yankees," Chavez said during a televised rally, using an expletive. Waving his fists in the air, he added: "I hold the government of the United States responsible for being behind all the conspiracies against our nations!"
The conflict in Bolivia centers on Morales' plans to redo the constitution and redirect gas revenues. Bolivia's conservative, energy-rich eastern provinces oppose those plans, and on Thursday two weeks of protests turned violent as demonstrators stormed public offices, blocked roads and seized the gas fields.
Eight people were killed in a clash between pro- and anti-government bands outside Cobija, capital of the eastern province of Pando, said Sacha Llorenti, a deputy minister for social movements.
Presidential spokeswoman Nancy Teixera said at least 20 people were injured. Radio reports said the groups fought with clubs, machetes and shotguns. Interior Minister Alfredo Rada confirmed the use of firearms.
The protests forced the closure of various regional airports, and American Airlines canceled all flights to Bolivia. Company spokeswoman Martha Pantin said it expected flights to resume beginning Sunday.
Bolivia's finance minister, meanwhile, said gas deliveries to Brazil would be curtailed by 10 percent for up to two weeks as workers fix a pipeline ruptured by protesters on Wednesday. Bolivia supplies Brazil with 50 percent of its natural gas.
Brazilian state energy company Petrobras said it has adopted a contingency plan to decrease natural gas use in its units and replace gas with other fuels.
Protesters also stormed Bolivia's Pocitos gas installation, which supplies neighboring Argentina. Plant technicians shut off gas to the country as a precautionary measure, an engineer at Pocitos told The Associated Press.
An executive with Transportadora Gas del Norte, the Argentine pipeline company that receives the Bolivian gas, said the gas flow was unaffected, however.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to comment on the matter.
Opposition groups also are demanding that Morales cancel a Dec. 7 nationwide vote on a new constitution that would help him centralize power, run for a second consecutive term and transfer fallow terrain to landless peasants from Bolivia's poor indigenous majority.
A top aide to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said high-ranking members of his government and that of Argentina are ready to go to Bolivia to try to negotiate a deal between Morales and his opponents.
Also on Thursday, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega announced his support for Bolivia's decision to expel Goldberg, while Chavez threatened military intervention if Morales were to be overthrown.
"It would give us a green light to begin whatever operations are necessary to restore the people's power," he said.

I'm a bit conflicted about "Flight of the White Wolf". Note to readers - there's a lot of suspense in this one, but suspense that I wanted to skip rather than suspense that pulled me in. On one hand it's kind of sweet - Gavin and Amelia working together and falling in love, especially in wolf form, was really cute. On the other hand, the story felt a lot like I was being told what was happening rather than being immersed in the world. The suspense also really didn't work for me - towards the end I was happy to know how and what was going on, but I felt that it dragged on for longer than I was interested in. In a way, it felt like the story meandered and it also didn't have the humor that I expected from the author.
"Flight of the White Wolf" wasn't bad, but I think I'll be going back to her YA titles.
Stranded in the wilderness, these warring hearts will be forced to work together—or die together.
Gavin Summerfield—an arctic wolf shifter with a fear of flying—has to fly into the vast lakeland wilderness of northern Minnesota to track down his suspect—where his ability to shift will come in very handy. Imagine his chagrin when his pilot turns out to be the woman who tasered him last time they saw each other. Things are off to a rocky start...again.
Arctic wolf shifter Amelia White isn't entirely displeased to see Gavin again, but priorities shift when their plane is sabotaged and goes down in the middle of nowhere. As their attraction grows, Amelia hopes Gavin doesn't discover the secret she's been keeping...she knows he could never forgive her...

A technology plan is only as complex as the organization it is written for. It should be an evolving document, which you can amend at any time. A technology plan should reflect your library's goals and needs. It is your road map to success and a necessary ingredient in acquiring additional funding.
Library Goals and Objectives:
Describe the goals that you have for your library when it comes to internet access, whether it be to staff, patrons, or both.
Describe any professional development that you and/or your staff will be participating in during the life of this technology plan. This training can be as simple as requesting or having an operating manual available, to taking a continuing education class, attending SLIM/SLICE, or workshops and conferences.
Begin by stating what you currently have in the way of telephone and internet connectivity right now. Project forward over the next 3 years and describe what you envision your library will need to acquire (or even make a plan to maintain) over the course of those 3 years. Look at your goals above and this may help to guide you in knowing what you will need in order to make those goals a reality.
This budget should include income and expenses. You may have to project (read “educated guess”) about your future budget, but it should be based on a reasonable expectation to receive and spend.
How will you know whether or not you have achieved the stated goals?
Technology Protection Measure/Filter:
Describe what you use as a filter on your computers. It could be a filter provided by your service provider, and included in your service. It could be software that you install on your computers or server, or it could be a filter of your own design through your web browser. The degree to which you filter should be a local decision and should be determined by your community's cultural outlook and attitude.
Internet Safety Policy:
Attach your library's internet safety policy to this technology plan. You don't need to create one on your own if you don't have one. There are plenty of them out there, which you can modify to fit your own needs. An Internet Safety Policy should describe your guidelines, requirements, and expectations of any patrons using the library's internet Access.

How To Bat In Baseball
When initially learning the correct way to how to bat in baseball? You would like to coach yourself the best way on how to bat in baseball properly. My father played and coached baseball, therefore, I used to be blessed having somebody absolutely knowledgeable to show me. He educated me the foremost necessary striking fundamentals 1st. Then, once I learned those, he educated Pine Tree State additional.
The first item you wish to think about is what sort of bat you are going to use once striking. do not choose one too light-weight or heavy. Choose a bat somewhere within the middle. A bat that may allow you to swing your bat through the strike zone however still create solid contact all at a similar time.
Key Points To Follow:
Stand shoulder-width apart within the batter’s box with each foot pointed within the direction of the home base and therefore the different aspect of the batter’s box. Hold the bat just under your chest, 5 to eight inches far from your body. If you’re left-handed then your right ought to be holding the bat at simply on top of the knob on the bat handle along with your left hand holding the bat just on top of your right. Right-handed hitters ought to do the opposite.
Once your feet are set, bend forward at the waist and bend your knees so you’re in a very slight crouched position. Hold the bat in a very vertical position and keep your front shoulder tucked and not open.
Always keep your head towards the pitcher and keep your eyes on the ball from the instant the pitcher releases the baseball to the time you swing and create contact. Your head ought to be turned and looking out at the pitcher. However, your hips and shoulder should stay closed until it is time to swing.
As the ball is being pitched you must use a trigger to urge your swing going. Some folks slightly raise their front foot right before swinging and others use their hands. The aim of a trigger is to start out the transfer of your weight to the rear leg so as to shift all of your weight up front after you swing. This is often what generates the ability in your swing.
Try to have a consistent and sleek swing at the ball. You do not need to swing as hard as you can. Your whole purpose is to swing consistently at the ball and obtain a solid contact. As you swing, your head ought to tilt down. Therefore, you will see the ball hit the bat. do not jerk your head around. Your eyes see the ball and since you are already looking towards the pitcher. You do not get to move your head anyplace else.
Those are some things for you to follow as you find out how to bat in baseball properly. Practice swinging alone within the backyard. Practice striking off of a tee and have your father or coach pitch you some batting practice. You must come back to feel comfy within the box as you practice the maximum amount as you can.

The Indian government has launched a new scheme to assist small businesses and organizations in growing to a higher level. To take advantage of the benefits and features of this scheme, small business owners must register their company on the website of udyam.
To obtain certification for your company, you must first complete the registration process at a higher revenue level. You can achieve a high standard and increase the company’s popularity with simple functionality. All of the information can be found by visiting the Udyam Registration.
You can enter the required information by clicking on the udyam registration column and entering the website. Please fill out the entire column with the person’s and company’s information. It is mandatory to provide the adhaar card number for it. Finally, you obtain the OTP from the official website, which you must enter in the column.
Following that, you will be able to obtain a unique 14-digit number for registering the company on the website. Then you receive a call from an executive asking you to provide the OTP generated on your mobile device in order to complete the certification process. It takes 10 to 15 days to create the certificate for the user.
You can find the certification by visiting the website, and it comes with a QR code, making it a useful one to have. You can get information about the company’s details from the webpage by scanning the QR code. The three essential items for registration are,
- Aadhaar Number
- PAN number
- GSTIN number
The government of India allocates and offers certified businesses to develop well based on priority. The most important fact to remember is that unless the PAN card number is the exception, you cannot access the change person or organization details.
The certification provides the best support and source for the company’s growth. When the scheme is launched with money and certified companies receive more offers on it. Companies receive more loans from each bank, and progress on the company is given special consideration.
Always get profits from the government on which you can choose a higher level of profit. Registering a company is strongly recommended because it provides the option of gaining more market and profit level at a higher level. Making the government certification will provide and increase people’s and clients’ trust.
Increasing the number of clients who come to the company will result in high growth and profit levels year after year. The certified company prioritizes obtaining a bank loan from every company, which includes less documentation progress. And the certificate assists in the start-up of a new business and its subsequent growth at a high-profit level. On every bank loan, the company receives an interest rate subsidy, and they are protected against late payments and a lack of supplies.
Business is a place where people want to make money by selling their ideas and much more. Companies require more profit and clients in order to gain and maintain market share. In India, the proprietorship firm is the most common type of business. The business model will be the best option for every startup company and entrepreneur.
Business people can register a proprietorship firm under the MSMED Act of Udyam Registration. The registration process is simple and effective, and it provides a high level of functionality to help the company grow and develop.
Make the best decision on a deal by utilizing its functionality and features in order to increase its popularity and growth. You can get more government assistance, including fee waivers and a subsidy for significant circumstances.

After making two sets of the cards as per directions (one with my kiddos and one on my own) I was inspired by the pieces to play around and try out other designs.
My first alternate is very similar to the original for the sticker layout. However, this time instead of using the square they provided I cut the tip off of one of the pennant shaped cards to use for my layer. Also, instead of using the twine bunching idea I decided to use it wrapped around the layer.
Also, I was inspired by some of the samples I saw popping up on Pinterest to add a little punched butterfly to my card. I thought it was fun to use the twine for the body and antenna too :)
For this second sample I used one of the little pennants for the top layer. I cut out one of the border pieces left on the sticker sheet to use as a frame for the flower. Also, instead of the button I put the white circle on top of the flower- stamped with the dots from the center of the big flower stamp- and then placed the circle that punches out of the center of the flower on the very top. I thought the dimension of it turned out real nice :)
I also used some of the paper from the envelope liners in the background. I find that you don't really need it to go all the way into the envelope, so it is fun to use the extra length to play with!
I've got more ideas for the pennant card layout coming up.
Flutterby again soon!

Carrie Underwood's First Public Appearance After Her Accident Proves She's A Total Warrior
This is officially the comeback story of the season. After experiencing a terrible fall outside her home, Carrie Underwood has been MIA from the public spotlight as she heals up. Well, with her performance at the American Country Music (ACM) Awards on April 15, Carrie Underwood's first public appearance after her accident proves she's a total warrior.
On Nov. 10, 2017 Underwood fell down steps outside her home, which required her to get 40 stitches in her face. Since her fall, Underwood has been keeping it pretty low key as she recovers, which is totally understandable. However, the ACM Awards announced via Twitter on April 9 that Underwood would be performing during the live show. I think it goes without saying that this is without a doubt one of the greatest returns in music history. As if fans weren't already excited, the ACM Awards also revealed that Underwood would be performing a brand-new single during the show, which was super exciting since the country superstar had been teasing new music via social media for the past few days, and released her latest single "Cry Pretty" on April 11.
On April 14th, Underwood took to Instagram to share a selfie post rehearsal. Needless to say she looks fabulous.
An epic queen comeback and new music? I think even country music haters might have even tuned into the American Country Music Awards for this very special event.
I don't know about y'all, but I'm a total sucker for a comeback story, and clearly I'm not the only one who was excited to see Underwood strut her stuff on stage. Just look at these tweets and see for yourself.
After ACM announced the performance, Twitter turned out some major support for the country singer's return.
Underwood may have been taking a break from the public spotlight, but she certainly wasn't letting that setback keep her down. On March 2, Underwood released a music video for "The Champion," featuring rapper Ludacris. Her recent music releases are clearly nods to her recent physical battles, and her bravery through the whole ordeal is certainly inspiring. Over the past few months, Underwood has taken to social media a few times to update fans on her progress.
On Nov. 12, 2017, Underwood tweeted a huge thank you to her fans for their support and thoughts after her accident.
Due to the fall, Underwood had to cancel a few shows, which of course people weren't that pleased about. However, a letter from Underwood to her fans revealed the details behind her fall, and that her injuries were a bit more severe than we initially thought.
I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but when I came out of surgery the night of my fall, the doctor told Mike that he had put between 40-50 stitches in. Now here we are 7 weeks later and, even though I’ve had the best people helping me, I’m still healing and not looking quite the same. When I am ready to get in front of a camera, I want you all to understand why I might look a bit different. I’m hoping that, by then, the differences are minimal, but, again, I just don’t know how it’s all going to end up.
Well, like a phoenix from the ashes, Underwood finally started to see some positive results. On April 10, just before the release of her single "Cry Pretty," she wrote another letter to fans giving them the scoop on her progress. This time, it was nothing but good news.
First off, physically, I’m doing pretty darn good these days! My wrist is almost back to normal, about 90% there, and the docs say that last 10% will come in time. And my face has been healing pretty nicely as well. I definitely feel more like myself than I have in a while.
Continue to slay, Carrie. You are truly the country queen to us all.
More to come.

Parents raising a child with special needs often have more expected of them. Their child will usually require more attention on a daily basis and ongoing support for longer than other children.
It is not uncommon for adults with special needs to remain financially dependent on their parents. They may even live at home for as long as their parents survive.
If you worry about providing for your child with special needs, creating a special needs trust can be the right solution. A trust limits how your child can use their inheritance and protects them against potential negative consequences that an inheritance might have for them.
An inheritance could limit their benefits
Adults with special needs who live in residential communities or group homes often depend on a carefully curated set of government benefits to maintain their independence. They may not be able to work or may only be able to work in jobs that offer minimal pay.
Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) could both be crucial to your child’s social safety net. A lump-sum inheritance could end their benefits the year they receive it as well as for some time afterward.
Your child may not know what to do with an inheritance
People who receive large sums of money that they did not work for can make very questionable decisions with those resources. They might go out and spend it all on entertainment, clothing or their favorite foods. It is surprisingly easy for people to spend thousands of dollars in just a few months if they don’t watch their habits carefully. They could also fall victim of people who just want access to their assets.
If no one is there to help monitor and manage the use of inherited assets, your child may not have an inheritance for long. A trust will give oversight in the form of a trustee who can make sure that those assets go toward their care and well-being and last as long as possible.
There could be other benefits to a special needs trust, including the peace of mind that your child or other dependent with special needs will still have support even if something happens to you.

Students performed a variety of entertaining dramatic skits, poems and songs which conveyed key messages on handwashing and disease prevention. The general knowledge competition among the students was one of the key activities that conveyed messages and information on handwashing with soap in an educational and entertaining way. The winners were awarded prizes which included water storage containers and soap. The school was also awarded with a slow sand filter from the Ministry of Health as a show of appreciation.
In addition to the Global Handwashing Day school activities, UNICEF supported a nationwide mass media campaign with radio spots, newspaper messages, and TV broadcasts on national television. The Sopo cartoon on handwashing was broadcast on EriTV on Thursday 15th October and Sunday 18th October 2015 to inform children of good handwashing practices.

Next-generation mass spectrometry (NGMS) has become a powerful tool for protein identification and quantification from prospectively collected fresh frozen or optimal cutting temperature embedded specimens. However, limitations due to supply, accessibility, and delay of clinical information and outcomes from prospectively collected specimens allow researchers to consider the use of banked specimens. Most biospecimens from NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) residual tissue repositories (RTR) are archived and annotated formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks with relevant outcomes information. Due to availability, the reuse of FFPE specimens for deep proteomic characterization with NGMS would be resourceful for population-based cancer studies. The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) and Division of Cancer Control and Population Science (DCCPS) examined the suitability of the SEER repository tissues for proteomic and phosphoproteimc analysis.
As reported in the journal Clinical Proteomics, the investigators processed 60 FFPE specimens stored from 7 to 32 years for global proteomics and 18 specimens for phosphoproteomics using tandem mass tag (TMT) 10-plex labeling. Additionally, linear modeling and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to determine the impact of collection site and storage time. Investigators found that all samples yielded protein mass after extraction for expression analysis. The 18 specimens yielded sufficient mass for phosphopeptide analysis. Although peptide, protein, and phosphopeptide identifications were reduced in FFPE specimens when compared to OCT specimens, there were no statistical differences in protein quantification correlating with collection site or specimen age. Differences between FFPE and OCT embedded specimens were found through GSEA analysis of GO-term level measurements of protein abundance, suggesting that formalin fixation may alter representation of protein categories. This study demonstrates that archived FFPE tissue specimens, with varying storage time and collection sites, serve as a promising source of protein for initial proteomic investigations when paired with rigorous and reproducible NGMS workflows, reducing the need for prospectively collected specimens.

People from different walks of life marched the streets of downtown Spokane with one common goal: to celebrate what Dr. King stood for.
Michael Bethley brought his son, MJ, to give him the experience.

The connection is felt even though this hasn’t happened in the last two years.
“It’s really a blessing after COVID or after the pandemic to see so many people that are coming out to support,” Latrice Fuller said. “We notice that the walk was a little bit shorter but at the end of the day it was so nice to see everybody here.”
The community is coming back together to honor MLK’s life and legacy once again. This day is looked to as a day on, not a day off, to celebrate the Civil Rights Leader. When the march ended, people gathered back inside the convention center for a resource fair.

NationalPost.com, Paint Trends for 2019: Just Breathe by Martha Uniacke Breen. October 27, 2018.
The major paint manufacturers have unveiled their picks for colour of the year 2019, and if all the choices
could be summed up in one idea, it would be “relaxed.” That’s not to say next year’s palette is neutral or
boring; ¬there are jewel tones and an evolution of strong shades, including near-blacks, from past years.
But what distinguishes this year’s picks is a general smokiness, a gentling down of colour, and a sense
that many of these colours would work together beautifully, even across brands. Which means that
making choices in décor, from fabrics to materials and textures, is easier than ever for consumers.
What’s driving this movement towards easy-going, simplified decorating? Colour-of-the-year choices often
grow out of a range of demographic, cultural and even political trends, as well as more material influences
such as fashion and industry. Arguably, political noise on both sides of the border and around the world
has given us an urge to just go somewhere and be quiet for a while. And what better sanctuary than
“When we sat down to discuss design and colour from a social perspective, we came to the idea of the
Quiet Revolution,” explains Sharon Grech, colour and design expert at Benjamin Moore. “The mood is
similar to last year, but now the reaction is different. Where we might have been more passive in our
convictions last year, now the feeling is, ‘I need to pause, to take a break.’”
Cloud White Ben Moore
For Susan Forint, design and colour expert at Dulux, there’s a certain exhaustion with 24-hour political
news, communications and technology. “Perhaps we have too much information at our fingertips; we
need to turn to nature, to reboot, step away from it.”
It’s also about a longing for simplicity, adds Erika Woelfel, Behr VP of colour and creative services.
“Curation is a word we’ve been hearing a lot. It’s about simplicity, streamlining our choices, helping
to narrow down our decisions.” The rise of super-decluttering trends like the Marie Kondo Method
appeals to our need to regain control through overcoming the excess — physical and
psychological — in our lives.
Sherwin Williams’ director of colour marketing, Sue Wadden, points out that a return to our own unique
touchstones is very important these days. Disparate influences, from roots and global cultures to the
women’s movement, translate into colours that have a personal resonance. The popularity of cosmetics
colours, such as blush, peach, corals and other shades that are flattering to the skin and soothing to the
soul, tie into this.
Benjamin Moore recently announced Metropolitan as its 2019 pick, a complex mid-grey with undertones
of green, yellow and blue. “It’s more interesting than just a plain battleship grey,” says Grech. “It’s not
always what it appears to be. It’s versatile and glamorous, but it’s soft as well. It’s as if society needs a
break and a way to find common ground, and grey is great for that.” Even the name carries a sense of
community, Grech observes, comparing it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. “It’s about a
sense of commonality we share with other people.”
Sherwin Williams’s 2019 pick, Cavern Clay, picks up on the one-world idea. A rich, desert terra cotta, it’s
similar to the Santa Fe colours of the ’70s, but more versatile than that. “It’s really like a matte version of
copper, or rose gold,” says Wadden. “There’s something familiar about the colour that appeals to people.
We’ll be seeing this shade in many media: furniture, textiles, and consumer products of all kinds. And it
works well with many colours and textures: neutrals, navy, greys, natural materials.”
Dulux has chosen a deep, velvety green with grey and blue undertones called Night Watch. “It’s both
calming and invigorating at the same time,” explains Forint. “There’s a nod to nature, but it has an urban
sophistication as well.” The shade has a cocoon-like, almost dimensional feeling, and a mid-tone value
that can perform either as a neutral, or a colour, depending on what you pair with it.
Metropolitan Ben Moore
Behr’s 2019 choice, Blueprint (one of the most illustrative names in the 2019 palette, since it’s exactly the
colour of blueprints), reflects a trend to blues of every hue in such disparate areas as travel, automotive,
fashion, textiles, consumer products and even food. “And of course it’s a colour we see everywhere in
nature,” says Woelfel. “Blueprint is neither dark nor light. It represents stability but also confidence; it’s a
classic. It hits the sweet spot between all of these things.”
Usually, paint companies roll out a range of supporting shades to offer inspiration and choices to combine
with their colours of the year. In the case of Benjamin Moore, Metropolitan was drawn from its Affinity
Collection, introduced a few years ago as a way to simplify the task of choosing colours that go well
together. (The Marie Kondo Method applied to paint, in a sense.)
“Every one of these colours has the same feeling as Metropolitan, with that softness,” says Grech.
“Kendall Charcoal has been my go-to grey for years; it just envelops you. Beau Green is a bit brighter
than some of the others, with a global feeling to it. And Head Over Heels is warmer, more mature
than a lot of other pinks.” A nod to the idea of familiarity comes in the inclusion this year of BM’s
top-selling white of all time, Cloud White, along with a cooler tint called Decorator’s White.
According to Behr’s Woelfel, all the colours in the 2019 palette have similar saturation levels, which help
them naturally harmonize. The company divides its suggestions into four palettes, each of which create
different moods or effects. Some of Woelfel’s favourites include Sand Dance, a misty tan-peach that
pairs especially well with Blueprint; Watery, a delicate light blue more sophisticated than baby blue;
Antigua, a near-tropical teal; or Mars Red, a gentle, pale coral-red.
In the Sherwin Williams palette, Sue Wadden recommends Distance — “blues will be very important next
year, but not sweet blues; this is a dusty, natural, earthy blue. It looks great with stone whites and
mushroom shades.” Haven is an updated sage green, another ’70s colour due to reappear that, says
Wadden, “plays well in the sandbox with many colours and looks, from Scandinavian to
Dulux recently introduced a new finish called Venetian Silk as an updated version of the paint treatments of
the ’90s, available in 40 colours, including a variation on the colour of the year called Mojito Shimmer.
Applied in a simple two-step treatment, it produces a shimmering, dimensional effect, and can be used either
as an accent wall, or for a whole room, to instantly elevate a space.
All of the 2019 picks are relaxed and easy to work with; unlike some edgier shades we’ve seen in past years,
the overall mood is elegant but softer. And all of these colours seem to have been chosen for ease of decorating,
since every one is equally at home with natural fibres and textiles, hard metals or soft woods, and a range of
“All of these colours will play together and bring out the things in your room — furnishings, art, accessories,” says
Grech, “rather than draw attention to themselves. Which is really the whole point of a great paint colour, after all.”

These days the security of data and information is very important and our Code & Cypher School will show you the basics of coding and encrypting data to make it safe from hackers.
Encryption and Code breaking
Encryption is the process of hiding the real meaning of a message by using a cypher so that only the person that knows the cypher used can read and understand the message.
Code breaking is the process used to try and crack the encrypted message to discover it’s real meaning when you do not know the cypher used to encrypt it.
Bletchley Park and World War 2
During World War 2 the British (through Bletchley Park), and their allies, were able to crack the top-secret German codes and cyphers used with Engima machines to encrypt military traffic. The Germans didn’t realise that we were reading their communications and using the intelligence obtained to turn the war in our favour.
GCHQ and the Cold War
Soon after World War 2 finished the Cold War started and this was to last 43 years, in 1991. This wasn’t a war as we understand it, missiles weren’t exchanged. The Cold War was a political, economic and propoganda war between the United States and the USSR and their associated allies that started in 1947 and was waged right through to 1991.
Bletchley Park morphed in to Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and it started to undertake covert signals intelligence gathering against the Soviet Union. this undoubtedly helped the Americans and their allies stay one step ahead of the Russians.
Many of the staff employed at GCHQ were interceptors obtaining the intelligence, but there were also significant numbers of code breakers and language specialists employed to crack the cyphers used and translate the decoded messages in to English.
Modern Code & Cypher cracking
These days GCHQ is still involved in cracking codes and cyphers, but these days the main targets are terrorist organisations and hackers looking to extort money from businesses and members of the public.
Code & Cypher School workshop
In this workshop you will be introduced to encryption techniques using simple cyphers. As a “World War II spy”, you will be tasked with encrypting highly secret messages that will help the allies to win the war. You will also receive encrypted messages which you will have to decrypt to reveal the important messages needed to defeat the axis powers.
Why not visit our Enigma Machine workshop to build a working model of this famous encryption machine using just a Pringles tin.

Tammy Baldwin gets back stage access, t.A.T.u. reunite, and Lindsey Graham prepares for some pyrotechnics. You wouldn't trade today’s AggreGAYtor for a sack o' gold. Let's go on with the show.
• Probably because England was getting a little too smug about their promises to introduce a marriage equality bill, Scotland reveals that they have already drafted theirs. A spokesperson added that “England can kiss their haggis.”
• Your Holiday Mom doesn’t mind if you wear hot shorts while opening gifts.
• Oh brother!
• Tammy Baldwin has been named to four key Senate panels, where she will rule with the fist of justice.
• The death of Lisa Lawson, the lesbian who prompted a three week search in Atlanta, has been ruled a suicide.
• U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement grants a reprieve to a gay man faced with deportation to Uganda.
• Jazz Jennings. Say it. Jazz Jennings. It’s like filterless Lucky Strike dipped in twenty year old scotch. Squonk squonk. What’s that crazy new sound? Jazzzzz Jennings. (Seriously, she’s pretty dang cool.)
• After a nine month period of consideration, Catholic University of America has rejected a LGBT student group because “it might become an advocacy organization.” Might? Were they expecting a group dedicated to self-immolation? Did they want all members to wear hairshirts around campus? Did they think this was a charter of GOProud?
• Bay Area LGBT community leader Elvira Zayas has been charged with assault.
• Jowly Senator Lindsey Graham likens the marriage equality debate to the Civil War. One has to wonder if the GOP ever steps back from their purple rhetoric and just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. They’re just one step away from scoring all their pronouncements with O Fortuna.
• Like Lazarus stumbling out of his tomb, the sham Sapphists in t.A.T.u. have risen to spread the gospel. It sounds like the last dying gasps of Katy Perry.
• The Family Research Council has severed ties with UPS over their own tie severing with the Boy Scouts of America. Which means your “Hotties of Homophobia” calendar will probably be delayed.
• Fordham University has approved using the word “queer” for campus events.
• The ridiculously awesome Baltimore feminist collective FORCE is planning a panty drop as part of their Victoria’s Secret skewering “PINK loves consent” rape culture awareness campaign.
• See you guys, conversion therapy does work.
• I know my three loyal readers have been racking their brains for weeks trying to think of something to get me for wintermas, so I’m going to do them a solid. Hint hint! HINT HINT!
• I think I’ll start a church that is devoted to the worship of Seattle married couple Larry Duncan and Randell Shepherd. I can’t wait to design the camo vestments.
• Uh-oh. Both Rain and Oilcans made the list of top 10 DUI bars in Austin this year.

The current state of desktop virtualisation
Why aren’t more people taking advantage of the benefits of desktop virtualisation? Simon Brew looks at the current state of play…
With growing adoption of cloud services, and a move towards mobile technologies, some important changes are accelerating with regards how people view a computer, and what they do with it.
A lot of businesses and a growing number - have latched on to the idea of remote working for a start, which is not surprising given the potential cost benefits involved. The old model of one desk, one computer, one hard drive, one person is clearly in decline.
The challenge facing the market is to make the technology somewhere near as accessible as buying a computer off a shelf. To reduce the levels of expertise required to take advantage of virtualisation. And to continue to educate the market on the benefits.
So then: where does desktop virtualisation fit into the equation? After all, even when a business does buy a simple computer, it's generally utterly overqualified for the job in hand. Given the demands on most small and medium sized enterprise technology revolves around office work and the web, even a Core i3 processor seems overkill on a massive scale.
Virtualisation, though, opens up possibilities. It means that the days of one server running one operating system and one application are over. Instead, in one of the most popular deployments of virtualisation, one server can effectively host many virtual machines. That in turn means that the humble PC itself, whilst not irrelevant, is less pivotal.
Bluntly, that means that the computers on people's desks no longer need an individual operating system and installations of key software. They pull what they're after directly in from the server, which in turn, makes a network far more efficient to manage.
Smaller businesses in particular still overlook some of the benefits this offers (although sellers of virtualisation solutions continue to report double digit growth), arguably because of worries over the technical expertise required to deploy such a set-up.
There's also an education issue here: to a very small start-up, how do they even find out about virtualisation in the first place? How many businesses start up with equipment they've bought off the shelves of PC World, and leave it at that, after all? Virtualisation, to some sectors of the marketplace, remains a well-kept secret.

During the Vietnam war, American draft resisters found refuge in Canada. Those days are long gone. I’m not con-vinced that it’s just be-cause Canada has a Conservative Prime Minister that the country has emulated so much of our Homeland Security provisions, extending them to cover domestic dissent.
Whatever the reason, this much is certain: Canada is now more than ever an extension of the United States, and while it is probable that the North American Free Trade Agreement has something to do with it, the more deeper reasons are more worrisome. Sooner or later, the conflictive situation with Mexico will make it part of a North American Colossus - a desperate but probably futile effort to meet the challenges of China, India and Brazil.
What should make us take notice is that this is part of a larger conflictive situation: the grass roots of the world (no longer the workers or proletarians of the world), are finally getting it together. As it reports on efforts of the G8 and the G20 in Toronto to save the world economic system, the American media ignores the fact that 15,000 people are camping in tents in the industrial wasteland of Detroit, a predominantly black city that is finding new ways to live with the newly liberated land. Much less are Americans aware of similar experiments going on across their country - and nost others.
Today, in the tight credit market, CNN revealed to its viewers the existence of micro-finance, a concept for which a Bangladeshi, Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank that makes loans to peasants, mainly women, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Only ten years behind, CNN! Bravo! A few weeks ago your founder, Ted Turner, long ago ousted, was given a tour of the Atlanta headquarters after a remake, and when he was asked by your friendliest anchor, Fredricka Whitfield, whether he had any unfulfilled wishes, he said he had always wished that CNN would cover more foreign news. Alas!
The fact that political junkies can turn to the internet hardly makes up for the failure of the Mainstream Media (or MSM as it is known), to bridge the oceans that have for two hundred years complacently separated Americans from the rest of the messy world. Why? Because even the most highly regarded on-line resources such as Huffington Post, Truth-Digg, Common Dreams, to name but a few, are mainly concerned with who said what to whom on the domestic front.
I’m lucky to receive internet newsletters and blogs in other lan-guages that I read, and although many of these, like their American counterparts, are mainly concerned with national issues, there are a growing number of on-line news publications that have an international focus, and some of them make the effort to publish in several languages.
This is not where I meant to go with this blog, so the names of these multi-lingual newsletters will have to wait for my next blog. I want to get back to the idea of a North American colossus, in which Mexican manpower plays a similar role to that of China’s rural population.
The two sides in the immigration debate are irreconcilable as things now stand: But one could imagine the creation of a political entity similar to the European Union, that would link the U.S. with Canada and Mexico in such a way as to get around that problem and create a more competitive economy. One would have to hope that such an entity would not more closely resemble the authoritarian Chinese regime than the European.

Prescott, Ariz. • Fire officials said they expected to have a deadly Arizona blaze up to 85 percent contained by Thursday night.
Operations section chief Carl Schwope of a multi-agency incident team said the blaze wasn't actively burning and crews were working to ensure any embers are out cold. It was 45 percent contained Thursday afternoon.
Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher said Peeples Valley residents would be able to return home Thursday evening.
Mascher said only those who can show proof of residency would be allowed past a checkpoint.
Evacuation orders for Yarnell remained in place.
The Yarnell Hill Fire was sparked by lightning on June 28. Two days later, violent winds fed the fire and took the Granite Mountain Hotshots by surprise, killing 19 members of the elite crew.
The fire has burned more than 100 structures on about 13 square miles.
Meanwhile, a coroner's office says 19 elite firefighters killed over the weekend died from burns and inhalation problems.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office in Phoenix issued the finding Thursday, two days after performing the autopsies.
The firefighters had deployed Sunday to what was thought to be a manageable lightning-caused forest fire near the small town of Yarnell.
Violent winds turned the fire, taking the crew by surprise and killing the Hotshot team.
An investigation is underway to find out what went wrong.
The firefighters' bodies will be taken back to Prescott on Sunday.
Fire investigators from across the country arrived on the scene Tuesday night and are expected to spend the next two to three months carefully reconstructing everything leading up to the deaths. Among the many things the team will examine are the radio traffic logs, weather conditions, equipment, the terrain and decisions made by the crews on the ground and incident commanders.
"Our goal is to figure out what happened and make sure it doesn't happen to other firefighters," said James R. Karels, the director of the Florida Forest Service, who is leading the team.

First off, it is not uncommon at all for male rosies to shut off like yours does. It is often a sign of sexual maturity for a male rosy to eat like bonkers for brief periods in early Spring and Fall but refuse food the rest of the time. You said its a '00 and its eating pinks?? I would feed him a decent-sized meal at least once a week while he's eating. Can't you get something bigger than pinks?

Grinding Gear Games has partnered with Dynamite Entertainment and announced a new four-issue series of graphic novels based on the lore behind Path of Exile. Of keen interest to fans is the fact that the series will reveal information about an as-yet-unannounced expansion. The first of the series is expected to debut later this summer.
Planned for a summer release, the first issue of the Path of Exile comic series will reveal backstory from an upcoming, unannounced expansion, weaving elements from the existing in-game narrative with an entirely new and gripping conflict. Each 22-page issue will release digitally with individual cover art, and the entire series will ultimately be compiled as a full-color, printed graphic novel, and be published by Dynamite next year. Additionally, each issue will feature unique in-game bonuses for players of Path of Exile, such as armor cosmetic effects, among other surprises.

The Internet has taken over the world, people. It is the Colosseum that hosts millions of websites in a giant Gladiator fight every day. No one wants their website to lose out to competitors when somebody comes searching for them, especially small businesses who do not have big online marketing budgets.
But then again, there is a lot of gyaan juggled around about how to rank your online stores better on search engines like Google and Yahoo. In this post, we debunk SEO myths and bring to you a clearer picture of the do’s and don’ts when you optimize your website for search engines.
Myth #7: “The more I stuff my website with keywords, the better it is for my website’s ranking!”
Reality: This is the big mother of all SEO myths that have ever existed on the Internet. On the contrary, if Google finds you using the keywords too many times on your website, it penalizes your site. Focus on the keywords and create good content around them, instead of just repeating the keywords in an attempt to rank higher.
Myth #6: “Shh… I know secret ways to boost my ranking without much effort!”
Why it’s a Bad Idea: There are many unconventional or Black Hat SEO techniques that people use to increase their ranking in the short run. Like using invisible text filled with keywords, automatically redirecting well ranked pages to a different page (doorway pages) or completely revamping a webpage after it has been ranked well (page swapping). Such techniques result in getting your website getting blacklisted by search engines and should be avoided no matter what!
Myth #5: “My Social Media activity has nothing to do with my Search Engine Ranking.”
Reality: Search engines are getting smarter by the day and have started tracking the social media pages of brands as well. If you have a long term plan for your brand’s SEO, you need to add social media to the plan. Create engaging content on your social media channels and pay good attention to all aspects of social media marketing.
Myth #4: “My competitors spend a lot on Google Ads. That is why they rank better than me!”
Reality: Let’s get this straight. If you pay Google to run your ads, they will run your ads. What they will not do is give you any sort of preferential treatment. For the genuine search results, Google does not treat you any differently, just because you advertised with them. To rank better, you need to work on the traditional SEO methods.
Myth #3: “It’s okay to copy content from somewhere once in a while. I mean, who doesn’t do it?”
Reality: If you copy content for your website from elsewhere, you are effectively committing SEO suicide. Forget about copying product descriptions from anywhere else! Search engines detect duplicate text and ban websites that follow this practice. Even if you copy content from more than one source, search engines are intelligent enough to detect this and pull your rankings down.
Myth #2: “SEO is too complicated for my small business and I’m not sure it will even guarantee me results.”
Reality: SEO is not rocket science, so don’t put it off unless you want to remain unknown on the internet. It is one of the most important aspects of running an online business and isn’t that hard at all to learn. You do not need to be a genius to get your website to rank higher, just make sure you don’t ignore it and keep working on it step by step.
Myth #1: “I completed all my SEO work yesterday. Why isn’t my website ranking good yet?”
Reality: SEO is not something that reflects on search engines overnight. It takes time for websites to get indexed by search engines. Also, there is so much content on the internet to compete with, that you need to publish good content continuously over an extended period of time to ensure a good ranking. In a nutshell, SEO is a marathon and not a sprint race.
Have you fallen for any of these myths? We hope not! With these myths out of the way, we hope you have a clearer view of the road ahead. When it comes to SEO, it isn’t something that you can do overnight. You need to put in a lot of effort and do a lot of good research in order to rank better on search results.
But believe us – if you do put in the efforts, the returns are worth it!

Via Ace, this gem – after my rant yesterday, it’s like the parasitic scourge that is Buzzfeed set out to prove my point for me. Some woman who no one has heard of, who only had 100 twitter followers, made a tasteless joke on twitter. I know! Totally newsworthy.
So yeah. Tasteless, but have you watched a primetime comedy lately? (Warning: Family Guy)
However, @BuzzfeedAndrew decided to make up for a slow news day by declaring her tweet the “worst tweet of all time”:
This may be the worst tweet of all of time. actually the worst tweet. https://t.co/x2tbQf5Kd7

After the hordes of unwashed Buzzfeed readers were unleashed to enact social justice, her employer was besieged by complaints and released this statement:
“This is an outrageous, offensive comment that does not reflect the views and values of IAC. Unfortunately, the employee in question is unreachable on an international flight, but this is a very serious matter and we are taking appropriate action.”
So before this woman even completes her flight, her life was forever altered, potentially ruined, by some jackoff at Buzzfeed who wanted to get more clicks, and knew how to exploit the elementary school bully complex in his idiot readers.
That’s progress, people. Bully culture at its finest, and all in the name of political correctness and social justice. Merry Christmas, Justine.

A lesson from Stella McCartney…
Now these just might be the clothes that actually get me to go to the gym (I wouldn’t just wear them to look like I went to the gym…okay I might…). I’ve already used the excuse of not having any music to listen to, and now that New York Fashion Week is over, I can’t really keep using the fashion week excuse (which I already used to get me out of three bootcamp sessions) so my newest excuse shall be that I have nothing to wear. And we all know, that is the most important part of working out.
I mean, what if I go to the gym one day, in my kind of boring looking black work out pants (True confession: I have work out pants by Spanx, so I do look kind of like Gisele in them, but this is not the point), and there is Ryan Gosling (see how I’ve swaped Ryan for Tim Riggins here? I’m making progress!) on the treadmill next to me?! And I’m wearing my worn out college tee and my Spanx?! I mean, that can’t go over well. But if I’m wearing something really cool looking, like that orange hoodie and matching shorts, it will totally make up for the fact that I’m dripping sweat, red-faced and listening to some slightly embarrassing Miley Cyrus mashup while “running” at a speed of 2MPH. Right?
Ryan Gosling would approve, don’t you think?
PS: Garance said these things happen. She once went running at the gym next to Penn Badgley (aka Dan Humphrey)!!

PRINCE Charles sneezes, that's worth about 10 minutes on morning TV.
The Queen was snapped with a grumpy look on her face, better hold the front page of the British papers.
William and Kate are having a baby?
Well, I'm surprised the world didn't implode in a ball of silly baby talk with that one.
Australia, you have a problem.
You have royal family obsession syndrome.
Symptoms include clinging to any piece of royal family information not even remotely interesting, giggling with joy at the thought of a royal baby, and the inability to recognise that this isn't a fairy tale, but everyday life.
The good news is that it's treatable.
Sadly, I don't think many of you want to be.
You can't go through morning television without some pointless cross to London to some poor correspondent spitting out whatever miniscule bit of news there is to report on the royal family.
The slightest nugget of information, no matter how boring and insignificant it may be, is now worthy of its own segment.
The royal family have to be the most boring "celebrities" of all time.
They're less worthy of all this attention than the Kardashians.
Now, with a royal baby on the horizon, things are only going to get worse.
Friends on Facebook reacted like it was their best friend who was pregnant when it came out that Kate was up the duff.
Took me a while to realise they were talking about a couple who had no idea who they were. I'm a bit worried how I'll go in the coming months, in hearing about every little detail of the pregnancy
I mean, I barely survived the wedding.
Not just the event, but the lead up, the hype and the attention.
At least for that two hour plus "extravaganza" I was able to get out of the home, away from the TV and out to the cinemas.
But how do I avoid seven more months of baby development?
There's no way around it really.
That first photo of Kate's baby bump will probably crash the internet.
Talk on the baby's gender will probably divide the nation.
And don't get me started on what the name will be.
I can appreciate that the royal baby is news, but do we have to react to it like they're our own family?
There are people going gaga for the unborn child of a couple they will never meet and don't even know you exist.
Here's hoping there's a decent movie out at the cinemas when the baby's born.
A very long movie.

Recently a customer emailed me asking how to cut a piece of marble mosaic tile into very small pieces. He reported that he could easily cut the marble tile into thirds by making straight cuts, but when he attempted smaller pieces or diagonal cuts, the marble would crumble or break into jagged pieces
The customer verified that he had the correct tool for cutting extremely hard tile, which is a compound nipper, but the problem is in the stone (and the technique to a certain extent) and not the tool. This article explains how to make cuts that take into account natural breaking points in the stone and how to use a marble file to file down extra small pieces instead of cutting.
Homogeneous And Thinly Layered Stone Types Cut Better
Whether or not a piece of stone tile can be easily cut into small pieces depends on the type of stone. Some varieties can be cut into thin sections while other varieties are likely to crumble or break irregularly when cut to any size. This is due to the internal structure of the stone. If a stone is homogeneous or composed of many thin layers, then it probably can be cut into thin pieces without breaking randomly. But other types of stone have veins and globs and swirls, and these types are likely to break along these natural internal structures instead of the intended line between the blades.
Note that some types of stone have natural swirls of color that do NOT act as natural fault planes, so you can’t always assume a stone will be difficult to cut reliably merely from variegated color.
Take Veins, Globs, Swirls And Layers into Account
With practice and experience, you can learn to look at the veins, globs, swirls and layers in the stone and make your cuts in places where the stone is likely to break naturally. Just as an experienced carpenter knows to avoid diving fasteners into knots in wood, an experienced mosaicist knows to make cuts along natural boundaries. Even then, there are still some varieties of stone where scrap has to be generated to get small pieces by cutting. However, there is a way to make small pieces from difficult stone types
File Instead Of Cutting
For problematic varieties of stone, you can use the fine side of a marble file to file a piece down to size instead of cutting it. Of course, you may need to make an initial cut with a tile nipper to get the stone to a manageable starting point before using the file. In fact, you may discover a lot of useful starting pieces in the “useless scrap” created by previous cuts.
Once you get accustomed to using a marble file, you may start to think of rough cuts as just an initial step followed by shaping with a marble file. For really small pieces, you can completely alter the shape of the tesserae with just a few strokes because all of the abrasion is focused on such a small surface area. You should hold the file still and rub the stone on the motionless file for greater control.
Tip: Wear gloves for this task because it is difficult to slide the tiny pieces up and down the file without scratching up your fingertips. If gloves make your hands too clumsy, then use a shop rag over your fingertip instead. As always, use mist from a spray bottle to control dust and wear a dust mask if needed.
Of course, this isn’t a scalable solution, meaning you wouldn’t want to have to do this for very many tesserae, but it is useful for making a limited number of small pieces for fine details in a mosaic mainly made from larger pieces.
Plan Mosaic Designs Starting At The Smallest Detail
Sometimes the best way to deal with a problem is prevention. It doesn’t make sense to start with a mosaic pattern that has details smaller than the smallest piece of tile you can cut, but many novices make this error, which often results in a key focal point of the mosaic being more crudely executed than the background. Instead of assuming that you can always just cut the tile smaller to make the smallest detail of a mosaic, do the exact opposite: Before you begin executing the mosaic, take the smallest detail of your design and try cutting and arranging a few tiles to make that detail. If the tile is too difficult to cut that small, or if it is too tedious to arrange properly, then consider making the mosaic larger (or simplifying the smaller details of the design).
The size of a mosaic (or a painting) is ultimately determined by the size of the smallest detail that can be rendered. The principle seems obvious in hindsight, but in practice it catches many people by surprise. Why? Because they can visualize the smallest detail easily but do not realize that their powers of execution are much more limited.
Take the stress out of your mosaic project by playing with tile before you begin. Cut a little bit of it up and play around making patterns, and then decide how detailed your design should be and how large it should be. If your total area is already fixed (due to the size of an existing surface to be tiled), then try cropping or simplifying your design.

Peter Fitzpatrick over at Shouting Into The Void make these:
Printable, Cut-Up, Fold-Up Doors
I haven't tried them yet, because I'm out of color ink, but they look about right eyeballing them at 100% size. I think I can make some to replace my occasionally difficult Dwarven Forge doors. Especially if I put some tape on the bottom so they'll stick in place on the battlemat.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Short sleeved shirts and pale legs were on full display in the Twin Cities.
“It’s gorgeous outside,” said Sheri McGrath waiting in line at a food truck.
NewsRadio 830 WCCO’s Edgar Linares Reports
In downtown Minneapolis Wednesday afternoon, food trucks were lined up along Marquette Avenue and restaurants were busy on Nicollet Mall with customers enjoying outdoor dining.
“It’s beautiful to be out and not inside a conference room,” said one woman enjoying a margarita.
John Ziegler, manager of McCormick and Schmicks Seafood Restaurant, said their phone hasn’t stopped ringing since they set up their patio.
“We just go by whatever the weather dictates to us,” said Ziegler. “This year we are blessed to have beautiful weather come early and we’re all about getting out here as quick as we can.”
At The Local on Nicollet, manager Josh Petzel said this stretch of warm weather couldn’t have come at a better time for them.
“It rolls right into St. Patrick’s day for us,” says Petzel. “You’ve got to take advantage of it. You only get so many days of the year here in Minnesota.”
Petzel planned on putting up a tent over his patio on St. Patrick’s Day, but he cancelled that since it’ll be in the mid-70s.
“We’d rather have the sun shining down on people,” said Petzel.
During the lunch rush Cody Allen owner of the “Twisted Sister House of Hunger” food truck closed early.
“We sold out. It’s amazing!” said Allen. “All of a sudden we had 20 people in line and it did not stop. We actually had to turn away about 30 people once we actually got down to what meat we had.”
Allen plans on brining twice as much meat for Thursday and Friday and will stay open for extended hours.
“It’s so much fun. Look at all the energy and all the people outside,” said Sheri McGrath.

We love when big city couples come to our big city for French Quarter Destination Engagement Photography session. These Chicago sweethearts, Jen and Uriel, knew what they were doing when they came here for their engagements. Jen and Uriel met in Chicago where they are both from but traveled to New Orleans for a quick getaway, just each other, and they fell in love with the city. But who wouldn’t? They knew they just had to get married here! We spent most of the evening strolling around the French Quarter and stopped on Rampart to snag a shot with a streetcar. We stopped in for some drinks on Bourbon and ended the evening basking in a rooftop sunset. It was definitely an enjoyable evening, the weather was perfect and we gotta tell you, these two are such a fun couple! You would think love would look different in different places of the world. Nope. It’s laughing, it’s enjoying each other’s company when nothing is happening, it’s together, it’s simple. Love is love.
We love running around the city getting to know couples from all over the world. It’s like we’re sharing in part of an adventure with them. Jen and Uriel both work in technology and it was cool learning about what they do. And we get the privilege of sharing in their greatest ‘yes’ on their wedding day! These two will be getting married in 2019 at Immaculate Conception with their ceremony at Tomas Bistro. We can’t wait to continue on with their story next year! Take a look at their beautiful French Quarter Destination Engagement Photography!

In 1999 Canadian author Larry Gambone talked to Fernandez, writer of the seminal book on Fidel Castro’s destruction of Cuba’s anarchist movement, about how the regime maintained itself and on libertarian struggles in the country. This article is taken from the May 15th 1999 issue of Freedom Newspaper, and elements are no longer relevant, but it offers a useful look at the situation at the time.
Originally published by Freedom News.
Note: Enough is Enough is not organizing any of these events, we are publishing this text for people across the US and Europe to be able to see what is going on and for documentation only.
Frank Fernandez is a long-time Cuban anarchist militant and a member of the Movimiento Libertario Cubano — the Cuban anarchist movement in exile. He was a member of the collective of Guangara Libertaria and is the author of Cuba, the Anarchists and Liberty, and La Sangre De Santa Agueda, a book about the early years of Cuban anarchism. A longer work on the Cuban Revolution is in progress, to be published in Spain and by See Sharp Press in Tlicson, Arizona [2018 note: This was later published as Cuban Anarchism]. Comrade Fernandez is interviewed by Larry Gambone.
Larry Gambone: Given the fact that at any one time during the past 25 years there have been at least several thousand people calling themselves anarchists in North America, have we done enough to educate people about Cuban anarchism?
Frank Fernandez: No, of course not, the information about Castro’s dictatorship is most of the time one-sided. There are several reasons for this, the efficient Cuban propaganda machine among intellectuals, the apathetic attitude of most anarchist media and general ignorance of the nature of the Castro regime. In some way we have to accept responsibility for failing to communicate with our North American comrades, due to problems with the English language.
What would you like anarchists to do to help your movement?
First, and more important is international solidarity with our cause, the cause of freedom. Second, direct communication with the Cuban people. At this point, I think we should avoid becoming sectarians. There is a unique opportunity to gain some social space inside Cuba. A sympathiser is the first step to becoming a militant. Any act of solidarity with the oppressed, no matter what his political or social persuasion, will benefit our ideals, since this aid represents the anarchist movement outside of Cuba. For us, [MLC] this task is almost impossible, due to the fact that we cannot have direct communication with anyone in Cuba.
Should we boycott Cuba, since in Canada, Cuba is a major vacation spot?
Yes, we have been doing this for the last 35 years and ask that our comrades in the anarchist world to do the same. Tourism represents the main source of income of the Castro regime, superior even to the sugar cane industry. It is important to explain to travellers and tourists, the exploitation and discrimination of Cuban workers in hotels, resorts, restaurants, beaches, etc., and to remind them of what kind of government the Cuban people have suffered under for the last 40 years.
What is your opinion of the US embargo of trade with Cuba?
In the past, nobody asked the Cuban anarchists what was our opinion about this matter, called a “blockade” in Cuba. I realise the embargo gives Castro an excuse to create worse social conditions in Cuba and that the people at the bottom will suffer as he makes them pay the bill of the American policy. However, if the excuse of the embargo is lifted, Castro will find another and the oppression will continue.
I don’t think the embargo will overthrow the government, nor does it represent a ‘criminal enterprise’. Nobody thinks about the blockade Castro imposes upon the Cuban people, nor how the Cuban exiles send $800 million every year, breaking the embargo. It is hard to take a position pro or con, because nobody can give you an honest answer. Any way you try to answer this question, you are going to sound either like the Potomac’s parrot or a Marxist-Leninist or worse. The question makes you take either the humanitarian side, asking for the abolition of the blockade, thereby helping Castro’s propaganda machine or a more political opinion taking the side of the Miami Cubans and the Washington Reactionaries. In both cases you lose. It is a difficult and somewhat ‘Kafka-like’ matter.
Both your pamphlet and Dolgoff’s book indicate that the Cuban anarchist movement was large and influential. It would be nice to get a rough idea of just how large the movement was.
The anarcho-syndicalist movement in Cuba was not only the largest and most influential organisation in Cuba since 1880, but also the forerunner of social progress among the proletariat until 1927. Government persecution, deportation, incarceration and even murder for two decades, plus the back-stabbing from the Communist Party ended that era. Numerically, you must make a distinction between an anarchist militant and a sympathiser. Any union could be organised and influenced by a minority of anarchist militants. This does not mean all the workers in a particular union are anarchists. However, if the workers respond to the anarchists’s agenda, then you can consider the union or federation anarchist.
The first Cuban Confederation of Labor was founded in 1925, and was composed of all kinds of trade unions, reformist, communist, etc., The anarchists were not in a majority, but the organisation, ideas, projects and manifestos, were from an anarcho-syndicalist point of view. Before the government persecution and communist treason, from 80,000 to 100,000 workers followed the anarcho-syndicalist agenda. In the first and second decades of the ’40s, the Cuban Libertarian Association was reduced in numbers to several hundreds. Before Castro became a dictator, the same Association reported more than 2,000 militants. Most of them worked and had a decisive influence among several important unions like Transportation, Electrical Plants, Gastronomy, Construction, etc.,
Have any younger Cubans in the US taken an interest in anarchism or the Cuban movement?
No, I don’t think this new generation of Cubans (so-called Cuban-Americans) have taken any interest in anarchist ideals. There are several reasons: the indifference for social problems, Americanisation, Cuban cultural and historical characteristics, etc., This is, however, nothing new in the country, which happens to be very nationalistic and with a powerful ‘kultur’ capable of changing to the American Way of Life different immigrants and exiles from stronger cultures than what Cubans have, like Germans, Jews, Italians etc. [2018 note: Since this comment there has been some growth of anarchist activity in Cuba such as the opening of the ABRA social centre in Havana earlier this year]
Are there, in your opinion any anarchists surviving in Cuba? Are there anarchist prisoners in Castro’s gulags?
As far as I can tell, I don’t think so. Old comrades die or disperse, so we don’t really know if there are any survivors, but I like to think that ideas do not die like humans do, and Cuba is not different in this matter to other parts of the world where anarchist ideals were an important part of working class society. I don’t know of any anarchist political prisoners at the moment, however there is always the possibility that some in jail without our knowledge.
I note that some Cuban anarchists were former CNT-FAI. Did they flee Franco only to end up in Castro’s prisons or firing squads?
At the beginning of the Revolution, 1959-60, some were detained and let go. Augustin Souchy was in Havana in those days and in a conversation with Abelardo Iglesias, Manuel de la Mata and Salvador Garcia, all members of the CNT-FAI during the Spanish Revolution, told his comrades of the recent visit to Cuba by ‘old friends’ from the Spanish and Italian Communist Party, Enrique Lister and the infamous Vittorio Vidale, invited by the Castro regime. Souchy warned them of the inevitable persecution from the new secret police in which Lister and Vidale were involved. The CNT comrades were involved in certain ‘counterrevolutionary’ activities and with the experience of Spain behind them, they knew how to escape on time with the protection of a Latin American embassy.
The Canadian and European media are very soft on Castro and Cuba generally (our former Prime Minister Trudeau even considers Castro ‘a friend’). Why is this the case? This friendliness existed long before the Cuba-as-capitalist-investment paradise phase of Castroism. Might this not show that the dispute between corporate capitalism and state capitalist ‘socialism’ to be somewhat of a game?
The friendship among thieves, authoritarians, ‘socialists’ and neo-liberals is not a contradiction. Au contraire, this is typical political cynicism. History teaches the anarchist that in the past there was never a difference between Ford, Hitler, Stalin, Rockerfeller or Franco. They all have a common desire, that of having the power of exploitation. Criminals, politicians or parasites, they all followed the same path; rule or dominate. The methods were different, but the purpose was constant oppression. Today is the same. Corporations, Castro, Clinton, the Pope or Blair, represent the same hunger for power and control and domination by fear or State terror. Therefore, I think they represent the eternal enemies of anarchism.
The media respond in favour of the interests of government and capital since they pay the bills. The relation between globalisation and Castroism or even ‘friendship before’ is not a ‘game’ but is a serious and dangerous partnership of those who exploit and discriminate against a large portion of the Cuban people. In reality, I never saw any difference between dictators or presidents, popes or prime ministers, from ‘right’ or ‘left’, for me they all represent the same. There could be different tactics against the state or corporate capitalism, depending upon objective or subjective conditions in regard to the government or economic situations, but in the final analysis, they are all our most distinctly and deadly enemies.

What is Google Pay per Click (PPC?)
Let’s first discuss how many searches you see in major search engines. Let’s take an example of Google.
You have Organic Results, than you have Paid Results, Google Places and Google Product Lists Results
Pay per click advertising is a great way to get visitors when you need traffic and you need it now. SO it means through organic which is SEO, it may take 6 months to get your website in top rankings or more than that (depends on the competition. That’s not a case in Google ppc, you pay to Google for specific keywords to display your listing in top, and every time a user clicks on the paid listing, your are charged.

"Ms. Marvel" wears horn-rimmed glasses and a bob cut. She attended the previous session and says that while this round was better organized, she clicked better with people last time. However, she liked the experience enough to bring a friend, who also declines to give her real name, going only by Storm.
Jenny Blattman, who's new to town, says she figured she'd see if she could get to know some people who share her interest in comics, TV shows, and movies. But she doesn't give out her contact info to anyone.
The event exposed her to new people, Storm says. While she enjoys many so-called nerdy things, she isn't actively into any fandom.
Ms. Marvel says being into comics and cartoons isn't something she can discuss with colleagues at the university.
"Most people in the academic community think it's lame," she says. "These people don't think it's lame."

Do you have a problem with a bloated stomach? Want to shrink the stomach but found it difficult? It turns out, has known some that are considered healthy habits that in fact it can add fat to your stomach.
1. Skipping Meals Left
These tactics always backfire. This will make you feel very hungry ending with overeating. And when you do that, fat certainly will settle in your stomach. Eat with a portion of divided every three to four hours will make the stay full without adding extra fat on your stomach.
2. Only eat vegetables and Avoid Eating Meat
Women often avoid meat, fish and dairy group because they think it contains only calories and fat. But remember, these foods are super sources of protein foods that help increase your metabolism, so you can drive out the fat in your stomach. Choose a low calorie and low fat, like cheese or tuna (6 ounces from one of them to meet three-quarters of your daily protein needs).
3. Think It’s All Good Bakery
White bread is not good, but wheat bread and cereals could enable insulin levels rise gradually, thus reducing the possibility of increasing the fat on your stomach. Brown rice, oatmeal or corn tortillas to replace white rice or noodles will make a difference in your stomach.
4. Conducting Continuous Crunch
Sit-ups can indeed provide the muscle tone in your stomach, but this exercise will not erode the layer of fat covering your abdominal muscles. Instead of wasting your time just to do the crunch, you better take your time to do weight training equally to all parts of the body and then proceed to run fast on a treadmill.
5. Excessive Alcohol Drinking
Alcohol has many calories, but no nutrients at all. So when you drink alcohol in large quantities, you are not consciously invite into your abdominal fat. If you are looking for drinks, you can choose red wine, research shows if a red wine can actually help fight the fat in your stomach.
6. Consumption Diet Products
You may think that you are helping your body by choosing sugar-free yogurt, diet soda, or other mild foods labeled low-calorie or low fat. But it is often filled with artificial sweeteners in excessive amounts, which some nutritionists believe could trigger your metabolism to increase fat storage.
7. It is thought that fatty foods Enemy
Maybe you will hear the opposite, but foods high in monounsaturated fats help you burn belly fat and lead you to eat less. What are they? Nutritionists recommend the avocado, fish, olive oil or canola oil as a source of good fats.
Of the 7 habits above, is that still you do? If yes, immediately leave all that and start to improve it to help you shrink the stomach and prevent the accumulation of fat in your belly to grow.

Dec 18 (Reuters) - Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp, the largest private oil producer in Colombia, said it is targeting 15-20 percent growth in production in 2014.
The Toronto-based company also said spending on exploration and development activities would rise to $2.5 billion next year, from an estimated $2 billion in 2013.
It attributed the increase to a rise in total development drilling and exploration activity and expenditures on the newly acquired Canadian oil company Petrominerales Ltd.
Pacific Rubiales agreed to buy Petrominerales in September for C$1.6 billion to save costs and to increase its production and exploration assets.
The company targets an average net production of about 148,000-162,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).
Pacific Rubiales estimates to achieve net production of 128,000 to 130,000 boe/d this year, above the high end of its guidance of 15-30 percent growth over 2012 levels.
The oil producer said Colombia will remain the focal point of its 2014 spending plans with a budget of about $2.1 billion.
Colombia’s oil sector has witnessed a boom in the last few years after a U.S.-backed military crackdown that vastly improved security and roughly halved the numbers of the main leftist rebel group, the FARC.
Pacific Rubiales’s shares, which have fallen 10 percent since the Petrominarel deal, closed at C$18.27 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

Biggest Loser Predictive Poll: Follow-up
Well, you guys went 0-2 on the predictive poll. The Black team ended up losing the weigh-in and Cheryl, not Sherry was voted off. She looked great after going home though! Unfortunately that means Swag Nation won’t get a 15 minute random winner or a hiked value for the random winners.
But, we might still do a little something and TSG will announce when that’ll go down. To be honest, we just want to play with this new toy we got.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Andrew Luck didn't mince words after Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills defense opened the season by putting the clamps on the Indianapolis Colts' high-powered offense.
"That's a heck of a front four and they beat us pretty badly," Luck said.
The Bills kept the Colts off the scoreboard until the final minute of the third quarter, and Indianapolis turned the ball over three times — including two interceptions by Luck — in a 27-14 loss on Sunday.
"They threw everything but the kitchen sink at us," said Colts coach Chuck Pagano. "We knew it was coming."
And yet they couldn't stop it, as the Bills began unveiling the bully...

Whoever wasn’t on the Seahawks bandwagon, you can jump on board now.
They just proved they can hang with anyone, and I honestly believe they are Super Bowl contenders.
Before you dismiss me as a homer, think back on Seattle’s season.
They beat the Pats, Green Bay, Chicago, and now the 49ers. The class of the league have been shown up by rookie sensation Russell Wilson, beast Marshawn Lynch, and that brutal defense.
What do we want in our Super Bowl favorites?
- A great QB. Check.
- A solid run game to control the clock and hold a lead. Check.
- A vicious defense that forces turnovers and holds their ground. Check.
With all that said, why can’t the Seahawks be a contender? I think they have just as good of a shot as anyone.
Can we honestly say there’s a clear favorite to win it all? We see flaws in all of the top teams, so why not root for a little West Coast magic?
I know I’ll be pulling for the Seahawks come playoff time. Consider this my invitation to you all to join Seahawks nation.

I first noticed the Hala Kahiki about a year ago driving north on River Road through the Chicago suburb of River Grove. I glanced at its colorful exterior and quirky signage and wondered, “What’s the story there?” The wonderful thing about journalism is that it’s a professional excuse to be nosy. I contacted the bar owner, Jim Oppedisano, et voilà! Our newest story for The Distance takes you inside the Hala Kahiki, a tiki bar established nearly 50 years ago by a family that’s never traveled west of California.
One of the many fascinating things about the Hala Kahiki is that its founders, Stanley and Rose Sacharski, weren’t trying to take advantage of the mid-century tiki fad. They just wanted to run a bar, and the tropical theme came about largely by chance. I love the role that serendipity plays in the history of the Hala Kahiki, which like many businesses has benefitted from a combination of happy accidents and pragmatic management.
The bar is well-known among tiki enthusiasts and certain locals; earlier this year, Time Out Chicago listed “a pilgrimage to Hala Kahiki in River Grove” as No. 9 on its list of Chicago Rites of Passage. The Hala Kahiki is one of the last old-fashioned tiki bars in the region, and it’s delightfully nostalgic and free of irony. This is not a place for craft cocktails and winking nods to a bygone era of American kitsch. This is a place where you drink something called a Sweet Leilani on a leopard print stool while the bartender tells you ghost stories. There’s even a gift shop in the back where I almost bought a vintage Hawaiian muumuu at least three sizes too big for me.
We’re always on the hunt for unique businesses like the Hala Kahiki to write about for The Distance, so keep sending your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.org or follow us on Twitter at @distancemag. If you’re new to The Distance, please check out our first two stories on Horween Leather Co., Chicago’s last tannery, and Tina’s Closet, a lingerie store in the Chicago suburbs whose owner is determined to get every woman into a well-fitting bra.

Have you wondered what is the biggest barrier to push innovation in the public sector? Or how to really create a public sector that is comfortable with taking risky decisions and experimenting with novel ideas? We are beyond excited to announce our Future Talks series, taking place on the 19th of April, where leaders from the Estonian public and private sectors will dissect the current state of Estonian innovation.
…and what a lineup of stars do we have for you!
From the ranks of Estonian public sector executives we have the Former President of Estonia – Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the Former Minister of Entrepreneurship and IT – Andres Sutt & the Former CIO for the Estonian Government – Taavi Kotka, moderated by our very own Anett Numa. Together they take a look inside the machine that is the Estonian public sector to see how to future proof the nation from within. What will be the outlines for Estonian public sector innovation in the coming decades to come and how will we get there?
To counter our public sector leaders, we have recruited some of the most daredevil entrepreneurs in all of Estonia, if not the world. Representing the private sector, we have Arti Kütt, the CEO of Cleveron, Taavi Tamkivi, the CEO of Salv & Hedi Mardisoo, the CEO of Cachet. To tame and moderate these raging entrepreneurs we have none-other than Sandra Särav, the Under Secretary for Business and Consumer Environment. Once this panel is over we will hopefully have a playbook for what barriers to remove for innovation to take place and where the entrepreneurs of Estonia see not just the government’s but the whole nation’s innovation going in the not so distant future.
So join us on the 19th of April at 12PM GMT (3PM Estonian time) to get a glimpse of what the future holds for Estonia. You can attend on both Facebook or LinkedIn.

Chapter 28 : Off White Walls and Apartment Bedrooms
| ||Rating: Mature||Chapter Reviews: 10|
Background: Font color:
“What happened?” Rose asked, out of breath as she rushed out of S. Mungos fireplace and toward her uncle Harry. “Where’s mum?”
Harry held up his hand. “She’s with Ron, and he was bitten by a baby Basilisk.”
“What- How?” she asked, her eyes wavering between her uncles.
“We were in a cave in Morocco, examining the remains of some odd magic, and Ron turned for a second and was bit,” Told Harry, who must have noticed look of horror on Rose’s face, because he quickly added. “But he’s alive.”
“So, what are they doing?” frantically asked Rose, needing answers.
Harry shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. “They haven’t told us much, except that he is alive.”
“That’s it,” said Rose incredulously. “No word on his condition or how alive he is.”
“Alive is alive Rose,” commented Hugo.
“No, there is standing up and talking alive and there is lying in bed and waiting to die alive. Which one is our father?” She looked sharply back to Harry.
“Rose, he is alive,” stated Harry slowly. “That is all I know. If want to try to get any information out of one these people,” he waved to the hospital staff members who were walking back and forth down the hall. “Then be my guest, but I have been trying to talk to someone for an hour and all I know is that he is alive.”
“Who’s his healer?” Rose said while looking down the hall for anyone who might be in charge of her father’s case.
“Rose,” Hugo said sternly and raised his hands to Rose’s shoulder and pulled her around. “He’s right there.” he pointed to a tall young man with brown hair and healer’s robes on.
Rose tugged out from Hugo’s grasp. “What’s his name,” She said straightening her posture.
“Healer Marshall,” grumbled Hugo, already looking embarrassed for his sister’s upcoming actions.
“Thank you?” she said taking a step forward, only to feel her uncle’s grasp pulling her back by her shirt.
Harry bent his head down and whispered, “To be clear, you do realize that you cannot torture information out of the man.” And he let go of her to continue walking.
“Healer Marshall,” called Rose as she strode over to the man.
“Yes?” Healer Marshall said with a raised eyebrow, confused by the stranger.
Rose thrust out her hand to the man. “Rose Malf-Weasley.” She sputtered, keeping her hand out in midair, and waiting for him to make the connection to who she was. “You are the one working on my father?” she added.
Recognition seemed to dawn on the healer because his young face went from confused to proud, and Rose swore she saw his chest bulge out as he pulled his shoulders back. “Yes, I am the one working on Ron Weasley’s case,” he said in a cockier tone than before.
Rose rolled her eyes, and gave the man a wild expression for repeating information which she already knew. “Right, I was curious if you could give me some information?” she asked masking her annoyance.
“Well he is alive,” Healer Marshall said.
Rose’s cheeks became red, and she crossed her arms. “I swear if I hear one more person tell me that he is alive without explanation as to how, I am going to go ballistic.” There was an edge to her voice that suggested for healer Marshall, not to take the threat lightly. She narrowed her eyes. “I said that I wanted information. And so help me, I am not above stunning you and stealing my father’s file from your hand to get it.” Rose quirked an eye to Healer Marshall, whose own eyes were lingered on the thin file folder that he was currently gripping.
“Right,” Healer Marshall croaked in a strange voice. Gripping the folder tighter, her ushered Rose to the side of the hall and said in a low voice, “This is against hospital policy.”
“I really could care less,” argued Rose impatiently.
The man nodded, as if he hadn’t expected any other response. “So we were able to drain most of the poison,” He said, not breaking eye contact with Rose. “However, no matter the Basilisk’s size, their poison does have its effects. What remains could kill him over night.”
Rose straightened her back and squared shoulders- not accepting that as a valid answer. “Then get the rest of it out,” she barked through gritted teeth.
“It’s not that simple.” Healer Marshall emphasized. “We were only able to remove the poison that was centered at the bite, the rest of it went into his blood-stream and we don’t know how much that was. Also without knowing the exact age of the Basilisk, it is impossible to know how severe the poison is,” he explained, and then looked up to Rose with an uncertain eye. “I mean considering the circumstances, your father was lucky that the Basilisk was only baby and-”
“Lucky!” Rose interrupted. “My father is laying in a bed unconscious and you’re telling me that he is lucky!” she scolded in a way of yelling that didn’t require her to raise her voice.
Healer Marshall waved his hands defensively. “I only meant that at least he wasn’t dead yet.”
“Yet?” said Rose darkly, she repositioned her arms and leaned on her hip staring at healer Marshal as though she were going to attack him for even suggesting the word. “And what do you plan to do to insure that he survives?” Rose hissed.
Healer Marshall scratched the back of his head, too scared to look Rose in the eye. “Well, there isn’t much that we can do, but wait. If your father makes it through the night, then his chances of survival are high, and the poison should dissipate over time.”
“What about Phoenix tears?” eagerly suggested Rose.
A dead look crossed Healer Marshall’s eyes. “We’re a hospital, Ms. Weasley.”
“Your point?” Rose exaggerated darkly.
The man took a step back, fearful about Rose’s reaction to his next words. “Phoenix’s are already rare creatures and their tears are even rarer. Even if we knew where to retrieve some, we wouldn’t have the funds to pay for them.”
Rose began to rub the temples of her forehead. “So basically we just have to wait and see?”
“Yes, and even then it’s going to be a while before he wakes up. Basilisk venom is sure to take a toll on his body.” Healer Marshall closed his folder and met Rose’s eyes. “There are some habits in your father’s life that are going to have to change.”
“Such as?” pushed Rose.
“Well for starters he needs to start eating better, and get more physical exercise,” Healer Marshall said as he ticked off his fingers. “Also, is you father under any stress?”
Rose bowed her head guiltily. “A bit,” she mumbled.
Healer Marshall nodded. “Well that has got to stop. He will need a completely stress free environment, to rest.”
Rose shook her head, a thousand thoughts reeling through her mind at once. “So how is he now?”
“He’s in pain but stabilized.”
There were so many questions that Rose wanted to ask, but she couldn’t narrow in on one. Biting her lip, she and peered up to healer Marshall.
Catching her eye healer Marshall gave a sad smile, and offered some encouragement. “I understand that you are worried, but we are doing the best we can.”
Rose still remained still, only coming to her senses when Hugo came up beside her, and laid an arm across her shoulders. “When will we get to see him?” He asked- having been eavesdropping in on Rose and the Healer’s conversation.
Healer Marshall looked to his folder. “We are moving him in a couple of minutes, you two can see him then.”
“Great.” Hugo sounded relieved.
“I’ll get the room number.” And the healer turned to walk over to the nurse’s station.
Hugo gave a pleased grin down to Rose and motioned for them to follow the healer, but Rose had become frozen; rooted to the spot where she stood. Her face had gone pale, and she suddenly became very interested in the laces of her shoes.
“You coming?” asked Hugo.
Rose kept her eyes focused down, and slowly shook her head. “Not yet,” she said in squeaky voice.
The sigh that Hugo gave was loud and judgmental, but he could sense from the way his sister was sheepishly standing in front of him, that she simply wasn’t ready. Her reaction made Hugo want to pick Rose up, throw her over his shoulder, and force her to go with him, but he didn’. “So are you going to leave?” he asked gloomily.
“No,” replied Rose quickly. “I just need to think.”
“It’s dad,” argued Hugo in a fierce but hushed voice.
“I know who it is,” countered Rose. “But-” she looked between Hugo’s sorrowful eyes, and bent her head down. “It’s dad,” she repeated his previous words, in a softer voice.
Hugo didn’t respond. Rose could feel his eyes boring into her, and she waited guiltily for him to say something, but when he did it wasn’t what Rose had expected. “Will you go to my apartment and pack me a bag?” Hugo asked, a tired expression crossing his face. “I’m not sure how long I am going to be here.”
Rose shot her head up. “Of course,” she said in a relieved, high pitched voice.
“Thanks,” Hugo said dully. He looked back to Healer Marshall, who had his eyes on the siblings, and turned back to Rose. “Rose,” he said, his eyes penetrating though hers, with a worried expression. “Please try not to take too long.”
Rose nodded as he turned to walk away.
The second Rose apparated into Hugo’s apartment, her ears were instantly met with a horrendously loud, shrieking cry.
“Belinda,” a hysteric voice said. “Belinda, Daddy will be home any minute.”
Rose turned around to see a very disoriented woman awkwardly bouncing a wailing baby in her arms. If Rose thought going to the hospital to see her father was going to be awkward, then she had never considered what it would be like to meet the ex-wife to her husband, who was also the mother to her niece. Lexie stood, unaware, with her disheveled black hair thrown into a wad on the top of her head.
“Here, do you want this?” Lexie asked, snatching a stuffed kangaroo off the kitchen table and waving it in her daughter’s face.
The wailing didn’t stop, in fact it got worse. The baby’s cries turned to full out screaming, and for a moment Rose thought that maybe Lexie had needles in her hands. “No?” Lexie said, abandoning the toy by dropping it on the ground, and returning to her graceless bouncing.
“Belinda, what do you want? Please tell me,” she continued, her voice cracking as if she, herself, might start crying any second. “Tell mummy what you want.”
Now, Rose didn’t know a whole lot about babies, but she did know that keeping calm and holding them properly would shut them up- at least, that’s what her little experience in dealing with babies had implied. “Here,” Rose said marching over to the woman, and thrusting out her arms. “Let me hold her.”
Lexie gave Rose a wide eyed expression, and Rose had the suspicion that her previous thoughts about how awkward this moment would be, were currently running through Lexie’s head. However, If Lexie was surprised to see Rose standing in her sort-of-boyfriend’s apartment, she didn’t show it. She just stared at Rose as though nothing could possibly surprise her.
Becoming impatient, Rose wagged her hands to Lexie, ushering her to hand over the flailing baby. It took several seconds, but finally Lexie closed her eyes and handed Belinda over, without protest. Rose was shocked by how instant the Belinda’s response was. The second Rose had balanced her, Belinda’s red face began to calm, and she slowly began to breathe deep breaths of comfort. Lexie and Rose stood for a moment, the sound of Belinda’s sniffles falling into the background. Rose smiled at the baby, but quickly frowned at the realization that Lexie was still in front of her; the awkwardness from before becoming more apparent.
Rose glanced up and watched Lexie, as she looked on, in utter bewilderment as her daughter nuzzled up in Rose’s arms. “This is just great,” she declared, stomping over to the kitchen table and flinging herself into one of the chairs. “Even my own daughter prefers you over me,” she sneered in disbelief.
Rose stared at the woman, almost offended. “Excuse me?” she couldn’t help but remark in a defensive tone.
Immediately, Lexie’s face fell as though she had just realized that she had actually said the comment that she meant only the think. “I’m sorry, that was very rude of me.” There was something about the way that Lexie spoke that made Rose doubt that Lexie really did feel sorry, but that he apology was more of a polite gesture, because she had been raised better than to simply be rude to a person.
“Apology accepted- I think,” Rose mumbled.
Lexie nodded, took a deep breath, and then covered her eyes with her hand. “I don’t know what more I can do,” she stated tonelessly. “I feed her, I burp her, I change her, I love her to the ends of the earth and back, and she hates me. My daughter actually hates me.” She shook her head and turned to Rose. “I keep telling Hugo this, but he doesn’t listen.”
“I’m sure she doesn’t hate you,” Rose said apprehensively- who was she to speak for Belinda, for all Rose knew Belinda could actually sense that Lexie was Voldemort incarnated, and that she hated her with a passion.
Lexie raised a hand and waved around the room. “Do you hear that? That silence? She has never once been that quiet when I hold her.”
Rose looked down to the peacefully sleeping baby in her arms. Her gut wrenching with the thought that she may be having one of these little bundles soon, and it made her feel the slightest bit lightheaded. “Our mother used to swaddle Hugo and I, it might help,” suggested Rose. “And maybe not bouncing her.”
“Hugo bounces her all the time and it works,” Lexie complained. “Everything Hugo does works,” she said bitterly.
“I once read that babies respond differently to different people, maybe you just need to figure out a different technique. She seems to like being still.” Rose looked Lexie in the eye. “You want to take her back and try?”
Lexie stood up and walked over to Rose with a dubious expression. Carefully taking Belinda back into her arms, Lexie began cradled Belinda, her face cringing as Belinda began to squirm again. “Oh no,” she said in a panicked voice.
“Relax,” ordered Rose harshly.
Lexie closed her eyes and slowly began to just sway from side to side. Belinda- who was on the verge of full blown tantrum- slowly stopped squirming and turned her head into Lexie’s chest in a deep sleep. “She’s quiet, and sleeping.” Lexie couldn’t even think of words to describe how happy she was. She looked lovingly down to her daughter and held her closer to her chest; for the first time feeling like proper mother.
Looking back up to Rose, Lexie’s pleased expression became confused. “I hate to be rude again,” she said in a light whisper. “But what are you doing here?”
Rose stood in Hugo’s cramped bedroom with a small duffle bag sitting open on the bed. Strategically, Rose took her time folding his clothes- unfolding them and repeating the process, if there was even the slightest crease.
“Don’t pack that shirt,” Lexie’s voice said from the other side of the room; her arms still holding a sleeping Belinda. “He hate’s it.” Rose watched as Lexie’s eyes ran across the pile of clothes that Rose had laid out. “Or those pants, or that entire pile right there.” She pointed a finger to a pile of shirts.
Rose took a step back. “Would you like to do it?” she asked tired of the criticism. Lexie stared down to Belinda as if she was reluctant to put her down, but eventually she handed Belinda to Rose and walked over to Hugo’s closet.
Rose noticed how Lexie never second guessed herself. Over time she had simply learnt what Hugo’s favorite clothes were. “He hates anything with a stripe,” She said reaching into the closet and pulling down a specific shirt. “And he only wears shirts that are blue, dark green, white, or any shade of grey, but if you buy him a black shirt then you’ve gone too far, and he will only wear it when he needs to do laundry.” She turned around with a pile of shirts and handed them to Rose- quick to take Belinda back in her arms.
“Thanks,” Rose drawled, and started to fold the new pile of clothes. Glancing at Lexie, Rose placed one of the shirts in the bag. “So are you and Hugo- like together?” she casually asked.
Lexie’s smile fell, and her eyes went wide in discomfort. “Not really.” She shrugged, and looked to the wood floor in debate. “I’m not ready for another serious relationship yet,” she said carefully.
“Because of Scorpius?” insinuated Rose.
Lexie’s silence hinted to Rose that Lexie was offended by the question. She hadn’t meant to ask about Scorpius so bluntly, in fact Rose hadn’t intended to speak about him at all. Becoming very interested in the mundane task of folding clothes, Rose waited for Lexie’s response. “Do you really want me to answer that question?” Said Lexie, with a bit of an edge to her tone.
Rose thought it over. “No, I suppose not.” She zipped up the duffle bag and slipped the strap over her shoulder. Looking up, Rose caught Lexie’s glaring eye, and moved to walk around her.
Lexie’s lips moved into a firm crease. “I know what you are probably thinking, and you’re wrong,” she said to Rose’s back.
Rose turned around slowly. “What am I wrong about?”
Readjusting Belinda in her arms, Lexie moved forward. “I’m not completely ignorant about the way Hugo feels about me, and I know he deserves better, but I don’t take him for granted.” She stopped walking and looked at Belinda protectively. “He is an amazing father to our child, and a wonderful friend. And every day he does make me fall the tiniest bit more in love with him.” Lexie looked Rose dead in the eye. “Does that answer your question?”
Rose released a breath of air she hadn’t realized that she had been holding. “Yes.” She nodded.
The door that lead to her father’s room was intimidating. As Rose stood at it she swore that the large oval swirls of the wood were meshing together and forming one large, dark, gaping hole that would suck her alive. She had taken as much time as she could at Hugo’s apartment, and as uncomfortable as that encounter had been, Rose had to admit that she preferred it over her what was to be her next encounter, assuming that she could pluck up the courage to enter the room.
“You know you could go in,” said a voice pulling Rose from her thoughts. Rose looked in front of her and saw Hugo stepping out from the room- his large frame blocking in sight of their mother.
“I know,” Rose said softly. “Here.” She held the bag she’d packed out to Hugo, then moved her eyes to the floor.
“Thanks.” Hugo hooked the bag over his shoulder, leaned against the same wall as Rose, and closed his eyes. Waiting for Rose to say something, he took slow sips from a cup of coffee that he was holding.
“I met Lexie,” Rose said after several minutes.
An anxious look quickly crossed Hugo’s face, and his arm stiffened. “Do I need to go over there?”
Rose shook her head. “I was able to calm Belinda down.”
“Good.” His shoulders relaxed.
They stood in an uncomfortable silence; Rose’s unspoken questions about her father hovering in the air between them. “How does he look?” She gave in and asked.
“Why don’t you go see for yourself,” Hugo countered stiffly.
Rose turned on her brother and narrowed her eyes. “Will you stop? That’s not happening.”
The sigh that Hugo gave was loud and judgmental, and Rose attempted to ignore it. From the corner of her eye, she could see Hugo firmly cross his arms and cock an eyebrow to her; the adult like position making him look much older. “You’re going to regret it if you don’t go in there.” Hugo commented.
Rose closed her eyes not wanting to argue. “He wouldn’t want me in there,” she admitted softly.
“And how would you know what he does and doesn’t want?” There was an outrageous look to her brother’s eyes.
“I know that he hasn’t written me in six months, and that the last time I saw him he could barely look me in the eyes,” said Rose irritably.
Hugo shook his head. “He was surprised, we all were. No one expected you and Scorpius to be married. I mean, I don’t think I would be able to look Belinda in the eye either if I found out that she was married, and didn’t tell me because she was scared.”
A defensive look crossed Rose’s face. “Well, if he was so upset why hasn’t he tried to write me?”
Hugo shrugged. “I don’t know, but I do know that ever since that day in December he hasn’t been the same.” He released a low breath of air. “He may be unconscious right now, but he’s been acting half dead since Christmas.”
Rose didn’t know how to react to that. “That still doesn’t mean that he’ll want me in there,” she whispered.
Hugo pivoted so that he was facing Rose directly; towering over her in an authoritative but comforting way. “No, you’re right, but mum and I need you in there.”
Rose guiltily lowered her eyes. “I don’t want to make the situation worse.” She peered up to Hugo through her eyelashes. “I mean- when he wakes up.” Her lips pressed together in a sheepish expression.
Hugo raised a hand and placed it on her shoulder. “I don’t think that would be possible.” He watched Rose as she started to anxiously gnaw at her bottom lip. “Dad has done a lot of stupid things, but in his mind they were out of love, not hate.” Hugo gave Rose’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “I know that he’d want you in there.”
“You sure?” Rose sounded nervous.
Hugo grinned. “Definitely,” he beamed.
Rose straightened her posture and began to walk forward to the door. Reaching for the handle, she looked over her shoulder at Hugo, who hadn’t moved. “Aren’t you coming in?”
But Hugo looked down to his bag, and shook his head. “I think I’m going to give you and mum a few minutes to talk.”
Nodding, Rose turned back to the door, and twisted the handle to go inside.
The room was small and cramped full of furniture, and equipment. The first thing Rose saw was a large white monitor with blue sparks of magic streaming in a straight line, mimicking the wires of a mechanical machines, and the continuous beep, beep, beep, it gave to indicate the beating of a heart. Towards the center of the room was a small bed with a lump of a very large, unmoving man, asleep in it. And near the head of the bed was an IV stand with two bags of potion- one green, the other purple- hanging from a hook. Each bag was connected to a thin tube, which ran the potions’ liquid into her father’s body.
Rose locked her gaze on her father. It was hard to say that he looked asleep, his unnatural lack of movement making lead Rose to think the worst. His skin was a ghostly shade of white and his hair had a slightly more dusting of grey. Upon looking at his face, Rose saw the set lines of new creases that had formed over the recent months. All in all, Ron didn’t look well and Rose was unsure of him waking up would have made him look any better.
“I told you that you had no business going on that hunt, and what do you do? You go and get bitten by a Basilisk.” Snapped Hermione.
Rose’s attention moved to her mother- whom she hadn’t seen before- sitting in a chair, with metal finishing and lime green cushioning. Her mother’s body was blocked from Rose’s view by large grey sheets of newspaper that Hermione had held out in front of her.
“One of these days you will listen to me Ronald Weasley, when I say you and Harry are getting too old to be out in the field.” Hermione criticized as she turned a page in the daily prophet that she was reading.
“Mum, what are you doing?” Rose asked, closing the door behind her.
Hermione’s fingers crunched the sides of the paper, as she slowly peeked her eyes over the top. “Rose,” she said in an uncharacteristically high voice, her eyes narrowing in and capturing those of her daughter’s; holding Rose’s gaze in place, in fear that she might try to look away. “Chiding him,” she answered bluntly, her cheeks becoming red.
Rose accepted the answer, pushed herself further into the room, and watched as Hermione closed and neatly folded the paper. Neither one saying nor attempting to say anything to one another. Slowly, Rose lowered herself onto a skinny visiting bench, which had three cushions that matched the lime green one of her mother’s chair.
One of the first things Rose noticed about her mother was that she was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, instead of her usual business attire. There were a set of dark blue circles that highlighted the whites of her eyes, and her messy mane of hair was pushed back into a ponytail that sprung out in fifteen different directions.
Swallowing back a breath of air Rose broke the silence. “What’s the point in chiding him, he’s never going to listen.”
“True,” agreed Hermione. “But it makes me feel better to do so.”
Rose gave a whistling breath of air, while she lowered her gaze to her lap, still feeling her mother’s eyes bore into her. Linking her hands together, Rose ran one of her thumbs across her palms. “So…” she drawled, tracing what she believed was her life line.
“How have you been?” Hermione asked politely.
“Good,” Rose said half-heartedly. “I’ve been really good,” she affirmed, peering up to her mother through her eyelashes.
Hermione had her lips pursed together, in attempt to hold back what she really wanted to say; it didn’t work. “You never wrote me back.”
“I’ve been busy,” she lied.
“Rose,” her mother warned, never one to accept a lie.
“I didn’t think there was much to talk about,” Rose admitted in a wispy breath.
“You think I chose sides,” Hermione declared, raising her eye brow to Rose. Rose didn’t answer but moved to stare back down to her palms. Hermione sighed as she stood up- laying her newspaper in her chair- and moved to sit next to Rose.
“Well I didn’t,” she said softly.
“Feels like it,” Muttered Rose.
Hermione breathed through her nose. “Would you think I chose sides if I told you that I knew Scorpius had been transferred to New York?”
Rose’s eyes darted up to her mother’s, her mouth hung open. “Wh- How?” she stammered.
Hermione gave a coy smile. “There is certain paper work that is involved with a transfer. Knowing that you were in need of a new partner, I had requested for the file of the person who was to be sent.” Hermione bit her lip in a way familiar to Rose. “Imagine my surprise when Scorpius’ Malfoy’s file landed on my desk.”
“Why?” Rose said aghast.
Hermione tipped her back and gave a short bark of laughter. “How many daughters do you think I have?” she argued simply. “Do you think I didn’t know why I only saw you on holidays, or why you never came home?” Hermione clicked her tongue. “Let’s just say I got tired of it. So I kept quiet. I chose not to interfere, and I decided to let things play out on their own.”
Rose sucked in her lips at her mother’s confession. “But you had to have known that we wouldn’t have been able to let each other go again.” She eyed her mother, feeling a large lump in her throat but swallowed it back.
Hermione scooted closer to Rose and wrapped an arm across her daughter’s shoulders; giving them a squeeze. “I never thought that things would get this bad between you and your father. I thought that I could bring Ron around to the idea of Scorpius-”
“But he wouldn’t listen,” interrupted Rose.
“No.” Hermione shook her head; her curls bouncing around and tickling Rose’s cheek. “There was a part of him listening.” Hermione stared at Rose with smile, as if that information was to be kept a secret. “You have to let your father come around on his own time. You can’t force him. He has to be eased.”
Remembering what Hugo had said, Rose bent her head down and stared at her wedding rings. “Did you eventually tell him that you knew about Scorpius going to New York?”
Hermione was quiet but gave a confirming nod of the head. “Right after we found out that you were married.” She turned her head to mask tears. “I was so mad at him, and you.”
Rose was about to protest, but Hermione hushed her with a fixed look. “Mother’s dream about their daughter’s wedding days, it’s just what we do.”
Rose didn’t have the nerve to tell her mum that she would have probably never have had a wedding that wasn’t an elopement.
“I’ve been arguing with Ron for months since that day.” Hermione continued. “At one point I practically threatened to divorce him if he didn’t fix things with you. You should have seen the way he looked at me.” She turned her head to Ron; covering her mouth with her fingers. “There was something almost helpless about him, as if he had been trying but was lost.”
“Well he didn’t try,” mumbled Rose.
Hermione laughed and kissed the side of Rose’s head. “Could you just divorce Scorpius if he messed up?”
“No,” whispered Rose quickly.
Hermione wrapped her other arm around Rose, pulling her into a tight embrace. “You know, your father doesn’t always realize what the right decision is,” said Hermione matter of factly. “But he always finds his way to the right path, and when he does, he excels in making it up to you.”
Rose turned her head into her mother’s chest like she did as a child. Hermione tucked her nose into the top of Rose’s hair. “Mum,” Rose said in a muffled voice.
“Hmm,” hummed Hermione, not letting go.
Rose closed her eyes and took in her mother’s comforting scent. “Thank you for not changing Scorpius’ transfer.”
Hermione smiled and stroked Rose’s shoulder. “You’re Welcome love,” she said softly.
One chapter left. Also please notice what Rose said to Hermione about divorcing Scorpius. Have a little faith in me.

But despite their explosive connection, Julija rebels against what she sees as Isai's intent to control her and rejects the bond that would prevent him from becoming a monster.
As their unfulfilled bond continues to call to them both, Julija and Isai aim to complete the task that brought them together. They are used to facing danger alone, but now the mage and the ancient warrior must learn how to rely on each other in order to stop a plot that threatens all Carpathians....

If my experiences have offended some of you, I'm sorry that you didn't like it, and I'm sorry that you don't understand. I'm sorry that when the next time a woman of colour speaks on a subject like this, you will do the same thing to her. I'm sorry that you won't give her experience any second thought. I'm sorry that you won't even consider delving deeper into history. I'm sorry for you.
I live in a predominately white city. Everywhere I went, I was white men's object (emphasis on object) of desire. I was being objectified, exoticized and sexualized for being one of few coloured girls in a sea of white men. Until I regain my trust in white men, I've saved myself from being checked off someone's "To Do" list again.

Mighty No. 9 clearly wasn’t paying attention to the careers advice at school. It makes a terrible first impression. After one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns ever, developed by the masterminds behind Mega Man, you’re right to expect more from the first mission than horribly cheap-looking animation, wooly platforming and a boss who can insta-kill you. Soldier on past that, though, and a decent game starts to appear.
Even if you’ve never properly played a Mega Man game it’s instantly apparent that Comcept are making one with a different name. Main character Beck is an enthusiastic ‘bot who needs to chase down the rest of the Mighty Numbers, who’ve gone rogue because of a computer virus. Defeating them allows Beck to not only cure them of their temporarily fried circuits, but absorb their weapon as well. You even get to choose the order in which to face them. I’m sure the blue bomber would be beaming with pride.
Let’s talk about those boss fights first. Each one has a weakness to a certain type of weapon, and you take them down by learning their patterns and exploiting their natural aversion to gunfire. The problem is that there isn’t much spectacle. These are the game’s standout moments, but for most of them you’re trapped in a small space, rehearsing patterns and dodging. Eventually, some of them - and bizarrely, mainly the early bosses - will have insta-kills that feel unnecessarily punishing, leading to a frustrating grind where once a boss wipes out all your lives, you need to go through the entire level again. While there’s plenty of personality to each character and the weapons they provide, the actual fights themselves are more archaic than nostalgic.
To be fair, the bosses’ personalities - and acting throughout - helps keep the game entertaining, be it intentional or not. Mighty No. 2, Cyro, spews more awful ice puns in this than Schwarzenegger in Batman & Robin, delivering them with a childish glee that makes up for their inherent dreadfulness. Mighty No. 6 Avi’s eye-in-the-sky routine is delivered with the gusto of a villain in a DTV Steven Seagal movie. Lines get repeated an awful amount, and better people than me will snap at hearing “Awww, is yiddle Beck hurt? Here put some ice on it!” for the 15th time. The refreshing lack of pretension is much more interesting than the actual structure of boss fights themselves.
In the biggest twist to tradition, Beck needs to soften up regular enemies and then dash into them to finish them off (not like that). Doing so builds up a combo if you rush into them quickly enough, and will sometimes dispense a timed power up or speed boost. It adds a layer of aggression and risk to combat - you always want to remain close to keep your multiplier ticking up, which gives the shooting an enjoyable, pacy rhythm.
As you go through unlocking weapons, you may develop a bit of favouritism towards one or two guns, but it quickly becomes clear that if you use anything other than the ice gun, you’re doing it wrong. Trapping enemies in ice not only stops them from lobbing bullets at you, but also extends the time you can use them to build your combo. If you want to build up the highest rating, the Cyrosphere (to give its proper name) is your best option. It’s slightly unbalanced if you care about your score, but you’ll need each weapon for taking on a specific boss, and there’s fun to be had experimenting with each one.
The dash also has another purpose to serve for the platforming. Mega Man’s ability to semi-stick to the wall isn’t here, but Beck has the power to get across bigger distances with his powerful boost. It’s not a great trade off as the level design is punishing when it comes to the running and jumping. Movement is a little imprecise for jumps - mistime and you can’t recover by hopping up via the wall - but still manageable. The real problem comes from sections that demand far more control than you’re given. One section in Cryo’s level mixes slippery platforms with falls into insta-death spikes, and requires precise air dashes. Muddling through might not be so bad if it was once and done, but fail the end boss with zero lives, and you’ll be trudging back to do it again.
And you will be trudging back a lot, which does a huge disservice to the variety in level design. Each time you hop into one, there’s a new idea or twist on the gameplay that gets much better as the game trundles on. Early levels tick off cliches - there’s a bizarrely ugly water level, one where you go underground, a chase on a highway where cars act as platforms - but the game gets creative later on. My favourite is the Mighty No. 8 mission, set in The Capitol Building, a narrow loop of rooms that get defaced by the sniper you’re chasing the further you get in. All suffer from overexposure though, as it’s likely you’ll run through a level three or four times minimum before taking out the boss. What helps eases the frustration are boost drops that come into play if you die constantly. They can be turned off in the menu, but they’re an invaluable aid when you’re facing a boss who's had your number for the past hour.
After the gnashing of teeth from numerous delays, it’s a shame that Inafune & co’s remix of their greatest success is just passably adequate. For every idea that elicits appreciation, there’s the enforced repetition that deflates the initial buzz or a frustratingly cheap missed jump that sends you hurtling back to the start and your pad into the wall. As you work through the game, the core blasting and dashing is solid, the levels get more experimental and there’s a goofy B-movie charm that will keep you attempting to reach the end. How close you get it depends on how much you need a baldly nostalgic Mega Man clone.

I was intrigued by a line in the piece in the Financial Times by Alex Friedman, the chief investment officer at UBS and Patty Stonesifer, the former head of the Gates Foundation that urged investment managers and banks to step up their impact investing activity:
“In today’s low-yield investment climate, impact investing is becoming more attractive because it is relatively uncorrelated to the broader market.”
I hadn’t previously heard the non-correlation point raised in the discussion of impact investing’s risk/reward equation, and it’s particularly salient coming from UBS (since it doesn’t sound like something Stonesifer would have written). UBS is increasing its own impact investing activity under Friedman, who was previously the Gates Foundation’s chief financial officer.
Non-correlation is part of a broader argument gaining currency that impact investments, especially those that focus on basic needs such as food, water, health care and education and on real assets, such as agricultural land, may have lower long-term risks than otherwise comparable investments. But correlation is important argument in its own right. Turmoil in global stock markets means stock across industries increasingly rise and fall together. I found data from Bloomberg: The 30-day correlation coefficient between the MSCI World Index and its members in that industry is 0.92, compared with the average since 1995 of 0.73. A reading of 1.0 would indicate total lockstep. (MSCI World, according to Wikipedia, is a stock index of 1,600 world stocks that is a benchmark of global stock funds, but is something of a misnomer as it excludes stocks from emerging and frontier economies).
Post-2008, hedge funds and other “traditional alternative investments” have turned out not to be as uncorrelated to the broader market as previously thought, part of the trigger for the rash of hedge-fund liquidations.
Is it really possible that impact investments are becoming the safe bet for mitigating market risk?

This week’s edition of Psych Wednesdays was written by Michelle Rheinschmidt and was originally published on Psych Your Mind on March 7, 2012.
We can probably think of a time when concerns about “fitting in” affected our behavior in adolescence, but what about in adulthood?
New environments, such as starting college or a new job), make people worry about whether they will be accepted by others. These concerns can be amplified when people belong to an underrepresented, stereotyped, or devalued social group (e.g., women in STEM fields, ethnic minority students). Research suggests that underrepresented students worry about whether they belong in college settings, and these concerns interfere with achievement. In fact, experimental research aimed at reducing belonging concerns has been shown to reduce race-based achievement gaps by over 50%.
What did this research look like? Researchers Gregory Walton and Geoffrey Cohen randomly assigned White and African American college freshman to receive a social-belonging intervention (i.e., treatment group) or to serve in a “non-treated” control group. The social-belonging intervention was predicted to have the largest effect for African American students, for whom belonging concerns are especially relevant given numerical underrepresentation and academic stereotypes. Students assigned to the treatment group read testimonials from older students about how their concerns about “fitting in” at college diminished with time. These testimonials described belonging concerns as temporary and common to all students (i.e., not just ethnic minority students). Students not receiving the treatment (i.e., control group) read testimonials about developing “social-political” views over time.
This 1-hour intervention changed the course of African American students’ college trajectories. African American students in the treatment condition showed a greater sense of belonging in college and better GPAs than those in the control condition. The GPAs of African American students in the treatment condition rose over the 3-year observation period, ending up .14 grade points away from those of White students, as opposed to .29 in the control condition – a 52% reduction. White students were relatively unaffected by the treatment.To help explain these effects, the authors looked at how students made sense of the day-to-day challenges they faced in college, especially during the transition. They found that African American students who received the treatment were less likely to view daily adversity as a sign that they did not belong in college. That is, students generated explanations for academic and social challenges that were not tied to having a “place” in college. In post-study surveys, students were not aware that they had co-opted the intervention’s message or of its reoccurring effects. What is truly remarkable about this social-belonging intervention is its profound impact on minority student achievement, given its brief and inexpensive nature.
Just as college trajectories can be affected by belonging concerns, so too can important career choices. Social psychologist Sapna Cheryan and her colleagues explored the reasons why women may opt out of careers in computer science. They suspected that a perceived lack of “fit” with the people and things in one’s environment may preclude interest in particular fields. To test this hypothesis,they manipulated the room in which male and female students who had not yet chosen a measure completed a survey. The survey included questions about their interest in computer science. The room had items pre-rated as either stereotypical and “nerdy” (e.g., Star Trek poster, electronics) or non-stereotypical (e.g., nature poster). Women were more interested in the field of computer science when they completed the survey in the non-stereotypical versus stereotypical room. Men’s interest in the field did not differ by room. The authors concluded that women’s “ambient belonging”, or sense of fit with the people and things around them, was threatened in the stereotypical room. This study suggests that even subtle environmental cues (e.g., a poster) can make people question whether they belong in a certain domain or field of study.
Feelings of belonging and acceptance have implications not just during our awkward teen years, but also in adulthood, in ways as profound as shaping college trajectories and influencing career decisions. These outcomes are especially important for fostering diversity and even social mobility. Research studies, such as those described above, hold promise for making school and work environments more inclusive.
Can you believe a 1-hour intervention can have that dramatic of an effect? Have you had situations where you didn’t feel like you belonged? What did you do to change that?

A work of timeless charm and transparency, Saint-Exupery's magical story of a young boy who goes travelling around the universe is the most translated book in the French language. His personal odyssey involves him in a series of extraordinary encounters as he discovers the follies of adult behaviour. Finally the Little Prince visits Earth where there are further disturbing revelations about the nature of humanity. This Twentieth-Century Classics edition also includes Letter to a Hostage, Saint-Exupery's open letter to a Jewish intellectual in hiding in occupied France. It contains many of the themes that were to appear in The Little Prince, published a short while later.
'An entirely original fable, brilliantly walking a tightrope over the whimsical, it is also transparently autobiographical.'
