When Cassandra Wilson played New York City’s Blue Note in February, a lot was riding on her week of shows. She was introducing a new album, Belly of the Sun (Blue Note), her first in three years, and a new band, her first in nine years without music director Lonnie Plaxico. And she was pushing her unorthodox approach even further, a style that had won an enthusiastic audience but had divided jazz critics between those who hailed her as a leading innovator and those who dismissed her as a crossover compromiser.
Wilson looked fabulous as she took the stage opening night. She wore a rumpled blue shirt over a black-velvet blouse and black high-heel boots; her almond-frosted dreadlocks were bundled in the back and spilled down her neck. She peered at the audience from under her heavy-lidded eyes and cracked one of her signature half-smiles as if she had just heard a juicy bit of gossip about each and every one of us.
There were no keyboards, horns or trap drums on stage; two hand drummers, two guitarists and a bassist flanked Wilson. The band stirred up a groove that didn’t snap, crackle and pop with big accents like your usual jazz combo; instead the rhythms rippled in overlapping patterns of small accents as if the music were coming from Brazil, Haiti or Louisiana rather than New York, Chicago or L.A.
When Wilson started singing, she didn’t lock into those undulating beats; rather she held out her smoky contralto in long, drawn-out syllables that created a dramatic tension against the jittery pulse. The words she sang, “I pulled into Nazareth/I was feeling about half-past dead,” were instantly familiar but not from any jazz book.
These are the opening lines from the folk-rock classic “The Weight,” introduced by the Band and remade so memorably by Aretha Franklin. But no one had ever sung it like this-with a Brazilian-Caribbean beat and a slow-blues vocal as thick as Mississippi mud.
Right there, in the opening moments of the show, was all the evidence one needed to argue for Wilson as a major jazz innovator. She has completely revamped jazz singing-the book, the beat, the very sound of the voice.
When Wilson first emerged in the late ’80s, jazz vocals had been stuck in a time warp. The template of repertoire, rhythm and delivery defined by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan in the ’40s had remained near constant while everything else in jazz was changing around it. Even Betty Carter and Abbey Lincoln, two of Wilson’s biggest heroes, refined that template without fundamentally altering it.
Wilson has changed it all, and she’s continuing to shake things up with her new CD. Belly of the Sun begins with “The Weight” and proceeds to feature tunes by Mississippi Fred McDowell, Bob Dylan and Wilson herself. It prominently features such unlikely jazz instruments as mandolin, banjo, bouzouki and resonator guitar; no horn is heard until the 12th track. And the tension between the purring, moaning vocals and the rippling hand drums is sharper than ever.
“I don’t think you have to have a piano trio for it to be jazz,” Wilson insists. “We’ve heard that ride cymbal doing that 4/4 thing so much that we’ve come to believe that that is jazz. I don’t believe it. Jazz is not a certain repertoire or instrumentation; it’s about being truly in the moment and being able to improvise, being able to swing and drawing on the blues. We do all those things.”
It’s 11:30 a.m.-early morning by the jazz clock-the day before her Blue Note opening, and Wilson is seated in the corner booth of Dylan Prime, a restaurant that’s just a short stroll from her Tribeca apartment. Wearing a black turtleneck and dangling orange-bead earrings, she leans over a steaming mug of tea and ponders each question with the same patience she brings to her singing. When she grabs hold of an idea, she draws it out the way she does a note.
“Some people want to lock jazz up in an ivory tower where there’s no place to breathe or grow,” she complains. “If the music has to be a certain way, if you have to do Cole Porter and Irving Berlin tunes, you’re just recycling the same music over and over again.
“When people say, ‘The new pop songs aren’t as good as the old pop songs,’ I say, ‘Listen again.’ It’s just ridiculous to think that good songwriting ended in the ’50s. We’re in 2002, and you’re telling me no one has written a good melody and good lyrics in 50 years? It’s so liberating to look outside the traditional jazz book for material.”
No singer has been more aggressive or consistent in expanding the jazz book than Wilson. When she moved to New Jersey in 1982, she started gigging as a jazz singer in nearby Manhattan. One night she sang “Cherokee” at a jazz-club tribute to Charlie Parker, and afterward the alto saxophonist Steve Coleman came over and struck up a conversation.
“He told me bebop is important,” Wilson recounts, “but he said it was even more important that I create my own music and my own style. He said I’d never be noticed if I kept doing that same repertoire and that same style from another era; so many singers were doing those same Tin Pan Alley tunes.”
It was a life-changing conversation, and Wilson began to hang out with Coleman and friends like Greg Osby, Geri Allen, Lonnie Plaxico and Jean-Paul Bourelly, who made up Brooklyn’s
M-Base movement. Unlike so many singers who combined jazz and R&B by simplifying everything, Wilson combined the two genres by complicating everything-keeping the funky beats and the altered chords, the gospel wail and the improvised scatting. And she started to write original material, either by herself or with Coleman, Bourelly and her band.
“I had never heard of a female jazz vocalist other than Abbey Lincoln writing her own material,” Wilson says. “The more songwriting I did, the more I loved it. You’re able to create a vehicle specifically for your own voice, specifically for your own experiences. Not that you can’t express your experiences through other people’s material, but with your own songs less tailoring is required.”
Wilson recorded six M-Base-dominated albums for JMT Records and a one-off project for DIW/Columbia, but in 1993 she signed with Blue Note and decided it was time for a major overhaul of her music. She hired a new band and found a new producer, Craig Street, who helped her find her way back home to the music of her youth.
“Craig did this Freudian thing,” she recalls, “and had me lie on a couch as he asked me questions about how I felt about the music I had grown up with. I told him about playing Joni Mitchell songs on guitar while I was in college in Mississippi and said, ‘But how am I going to be a jazz vocalist and do the folk thing?’ He said, ‘Why not? It’s who you are.’ So I decided to come out of the closet.”
On the two albums that Street produced, 1993’s Blue Light ‘Til Dawn and 1995’s New Moon Daughter, Wilson tackled songs by Mitchell, Van Morrison, U2, Hank Williams, Neil Young, the Monkees, the Stylistics, Ann Peebles, Robert Johnson and Son House, and she made them all sound comfortable in a jazz setting.
On her frequent guest appearances during the ’90s, Wilson sang Muddy Waters with Javon Jackson, the Zombies with Kurt Elling, the Temptations with Regina Carter, Elvis Costello with Bill Frisell, Prince and the Beatles with Bob Belden, Aretha Franklin with David Sanborn, Afro-pop with Angélique Kidjo and hip-hop with the Roots.
“I think these songs stand up musically,” Wilson argues. “Joni Mitchell writes great melodies and great chord changes. She writes very freely, maybe because she’s unschooled, and the things she does with guitar tunings have always fascinated me. And the language that she and Bob Dylan use is so powerful. Their lyrics are connected to folk, the common folk, whereas Cole Porter and Harold Arlen are more connected to the wealthy, the bon vivant. Dylan, Mitchell and Robbie Robertson [of the Band] are writing for the disaffected, discontented and disenfranchised; they’re saying, ‘Hey, it’s not perfect down here; we have some demons to deal with.’
“And the blues-it used to be that jazz artists prided themselves on knowing the blues. But how many young jazz musicians are willing to transcribe Robert Johnson or Blind Lemon Jefferson the way they transcribe Bird or Trane? You can’t tell me that this music is too common or too easy. Those songs are bottomless.
“And don’t talk to me about sophisticated harmonies; you can always change the chords. That’s what I do-I’m a jazz musician; I live for chord substitutions. If Ella Fitzgerald could turn a nursery rhyme like “A Tisket a Tasket” into a jazz song, what can’t we use?
“Have you ever heard the original version of ‘Green Dolphin Street’? It’s your standard movie theme song, but someone said, ‘I can change these chords and make it interesting.’ That’s what John Coltrane did with ‘My Favorite Things.’ He said, ‘I like this melody, but I’ll put a minor feel in there and an Indian raga, then I’ll hold that pedal point forever.'”
Along with Wilson’s new repertoire came a new way of singing. Notes were no longer flung like dishes; they were kneaded and stretched as if they were still wet clay. Instead of singing like a piano, she sang more like an organ, trading in the usual percussive attack for a more sustained, rounded approach to each note.
On Mississippi Fred McDowell’s “You Gotta Move” from Belly of the Sun, for example, she pulls and twists at the line endings. “You may be high,” she sings, and the “high” slides up and over an extra beat. “You may be low,” she adds, and the “low” tumbles off a cliff. “You may be down,” she sympathizes, “no place to go,” and the “go” is held until a hint of despair creeps in. “But when the Lord”-the single syllable of “Lord” marches in on two notes like a monarch-“gets ready”-“ready” falls down like a judge’s gavel-“you gotta move”-and the “move” trails off like a train disappearing down the track.
There were two main sources for Wilson’s new vocal style. One was in the Mississippi Delta, where singers like Robert Johnson, Son House and Muddy Waters had blurred the boundaries between singing, the moaning of despair and the moaning of orgasm. The other was postwar New York, where Billie Holiday and Miles Davis gave birth to a cool alternative to hot bebop.
“What I’m doing is more a Billie way of singing,” Wilson explains. “Billie was so different from Ella and Sarah. It was not based on dexterity so much as on the roundness of her tone, the color inside the voice. And how much of her life is in that? When you concentrate on singing really fast or imitating horns, the tone becomes less important. But when you take time to sing the song; you have to leave spaces in it.
“Those spaces invite an audience into the sound you’re creating. Being a Southerner, I’m probably predisposed to that slower, thicker sort of sound; that ‘built for comfort not for speed’ kind of thing. I’m taking what Billie did and using it to create longer lines where I can sail on what the rhythm section is doing. I want the option of locking in with them on certain passages and floating above them on others; that way I can create tension and release it.
“And, of course, when I went back to the blues in Mississippi, that changed how I sing. I think a lot of jazz musicians are afraid of the blues, because there’s a certain emotional vulnerability when you get into this material. It’s so bare that you really have to be inventive; you can’t rely on the usual jazz vocabulary of quoting melodies and running scales and going, ‘scooby-dooby-doo.’ That’s why a lot of jazz musicians feel safer keeping an academic distance from the blues.
“I’ve done a lot of jerky singing in the past,” she adds, “but now I’m hearing something different. It has something to do with the fact that I’ve been listening to Miles Davis so much over the past few years. I feel the need to stretch things out more and savor a note, especially if it’s a good note that’s really singing with the other instruments. It’s not always the same note every night, but when I hear a note really ringing, I hold on to it and let it enjoy a long decay.”
The longer Wilson held out those notes and savored their lingering overtones, the more she found herself fighting against musicians who wanted to cover up every vacant space. She had a special problem with drummers, whose splashy cymbals ate up a lot of sonic territory. She didn’t know what to do until producer Craig Street came to the rescue.
“Craig taught me something very important about drums,” she acknowledges. “I’d always assumed that you had to work with a regular drum kit. But on Blue Light ‘Til Dawn and New Moon Daughter, I realized that I could hear more of the overtones and undertones of my voice if I didn’t have the kit. What was getting in the way was not the drumheads but the cymbals. It’s easier for a horn player to work with cymbals, because a horn has a narrower aural focus and can cut through. But the human voice is multitimbral, and all those other tones get lost in a wash of cymbals-especially my voice, which is a contralto and in the same range. Even the snare and the hi-hat get in the way. And these young drummers are trying so hard to sound like Tony Williams and Elvin Jones that they don’t know how to use brushes or mallets, how to work with a singer. There’s something about the way they’re constantly pushing the tempo with the ride cymbal that gets on my nerves.
“When I got rid of the kit and started using hand drums, it led to different patterns. The conga player states the main rhythmic pulse, but the percussionist doesn’t play the same thing; he plays something complementary. So you have that push and pull without all that cymbal noise. When we’re working out arrangements, if I hear something I can’t float over, we rework it so there’s enough space for my voice. And these different drum patterns led us to Brazilian music.”
The new album features Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Waters of March” and James Taylor’s “Only a Dream in Rio,” and it was scheduled to include Caetano Veloso’s “Little Lion” until the song was pulled from the disc at the last minute. With two hand drummers and two guitarists, Wilson’s band is well designed for this repertoire and she skips through it with a lilting finesse. She sang all three songs at the Blue Note, and when she delivered Jobim’s line about “the joy in your heart,” she leaned out over the stage edge as if to press the point home.
“I’ve always loved Brazilian music,” she says. “There’s a natural connection between bossa nova and jazz-they both come from Afro-European cultures; they both emphasize rhythm and rely on improvisation.”
But the exotic land that had the biggest influence on Belly in the Sun was her native Mississippi. Wilson was born there in Jackson 46 years ago, the daughter of Herman Fowlkes, a postman, and Mary Fowlkes, a teacher. They lived in the city, but their next-door neighbor had chickens in the yard, and Wilson’s grandmother went into the woods behind their house every day to gather herbs for cooking and healing.
“I only came inside to sleep, eat and change my clothes,” the former tomboy remembers. “There was a closeness to nature that we as African-Americans have lost. We have become dangerously urbanized. This environment is not healthy for anybody, but especially for us, because we can’t escape as easily as a lot of white people who can jump in the car and go visit grandma. Our children are surrounded by concrete, when nature should be the first instructor for the young.”
Wilson was a maverick even as a teenager. Instead of going to predominantly black Jackson State College, she went to the city’s predominantly white Millsaps College “to investigate white people and study their habits, almost like a National Geographic expedition.” She studied Camus and Hegel in the classroom and Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan back in the dorm.
She dropped out of Millsaps in 1975, moved to Little Rock to front a blues-rock band, returned to Jackson in 1978, enrolled in Jackson State and graduated in 1980. During her second fling at college, she formed a folk band called Past, Present & Future. Drawing inspiration from Mitchell, Dylan, Nina Simone and Richie Havens, the quartet featured Wilson on acoustic guitar and vocals, Rhonda Richmond on violin and keyboards, Niecie Evers (Medgar’s niece) on congas, and Nellie McInnis on bass. Even today she thinks of Jackson as “home.”
“By the end of 1999,” Wilson says, “I was exhausted. I had done four albums since 1993, each followed by a long tour and one led right into the next. So I needed to take some time off, and I went home to get my bearings. I always go home when I want to gather the information I need to move forward. It’s such a different pace from here in New York; you have time for long conversations over big meals. The lifestyle is so gracious that it gives you time to reflect.
“The other thing I like about Mississippi is that I’m nobody down there. We always joke that Michael Jackson could walk down the street in Jackson and people would go, ‘Oh, that’s Michael Jackson,’ and keep on walking. People there are not easily impressed. So when people spend time with you, you know it’s because of you and not because of what you do.”
As the Christmas holidays of 1999 spilled over into 2000, Wilson reconnected with the members of her college folk band. The returning prodigal daughter was so impressed with the songs Richmond was writing and singing that Wilson decided to help her former bandmate make a record.
Wilson set up shop at a Jackson studio as Richmond recorded six of her own compositions plus songs by Nina Simone, Duke Ellington and Muddy Waters. Not only did Wilson produce and sing harmony on the album, Oshogbo Town, but she also formed Ojah Records to put it out last year. (It can be ordered from Wilson’s Web site, www.jazztrance.com.)
“I don’t own any of my own masters,” Wilson laments, “and ownership is so important in this business. So I wanted to start a company where I could own something. By keeping the overhead low, I can make a profit without having to sell a lot of copies. I like the idea of keeping it small.
“I haven’t signed anyone else yet, but I’m looking at some people. I want to document some of the great musicians in Mississippi who choose never to leave. I know it contradicts the stereotype, but life is so seductive down there that if people can play music and support themselves, they never want to leave.”
After recording Richmond early in 2000 and making the rounds of the jazz-festival circuit that summer, Wilson overhauled her band in the fall. Lonnie Plaxico, her bassist and musical director since 1993, was ready to be a bandleader in his own right. When he left, he took pianist George Colligan and drummer Lionel Cordew with him.
Wilson held on to guitarist Marvin Sewell and percussionist Jeffrey Haynes and decided to return to her twin-guitar, twin-percussion lineup of the mid-’90s. So she brought guitarist Kevin Breit, percussionist Cyro Baptista and bassist Mark Peterson-all of whom had worked on New Moon Daughter-back into the band, not only for the recording sessions but also for the live shows.
“A lot of times the label wants you to use famous names in the studio,” she says, “and then save money on the road by hiring younger, unknown guys. But it breaks up the continuity if you don’t use your studio band on the road. It’s more work because you have to teach the new people the songs, and then it doesn’t sound the same anyway. I’m fortunate because I don’t get that kind of pressure from Blue Note.”
As she considered how to best use this new band, Wilson remembered how much she had enjoyed working in Mississippi on Richmond’s album. But for Belly of the Sun she wanted to get out of Jackson and up into the heart of the Delta. There are no state-of-the-art studios in that northwest corner of the state, so she decided to record in the old Clarksdale train depot, the same spot where so many sharecroppers bought a one-way ticket for Chicago in the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s. Her engineer, Danny Kopelson, set up a mobile recording truck outside, and Wilson went to work.
“I wanted to get my musicians out of New York,” she explains. “I wanted to take them down to Mississippi and show them the ‘crossroads.’ These are such great musicians that I knew they could play anywhere; the important thing was that they absorb the emotion of where I come from, that they put the rhythm of Clarksdale into their music. I don’t think the record would have sounded the same if we hadn’t gone down there.”
While she was down there, Wilson discovered Abie “Boogaloo” Ames, a member of the Charles Brown/Champion Jack Dupree schools of mid-century jazz-blues piano. Ames, who died earlier this year at 81, joins Wilson for an unaccompanied voice-and-piano version of “Darkness on the Delta.” If it sounds like two utterly relaxed people sitting side-by-side on the piano bench, just fooling around, that’s because it is.
More local talent got involved when Wilson recorded one of Richmond’s songs, “Road So Clear”; the composer played piano and Mississippian Olu Dara played trumpet, the only trace of a horn on the whole disc. And when the band got kicked out of the depot to accommodate a previously scheduled wedding reception, Wilson dragged everyone into a nearby boxcar for echo-heavy treatments of “You Gotta Move” and Robert Johnson’s “Hot Tamales.”
Last fall, Wilson found herself back in New York in her new neighborhood of Tribeca. After years of living in Harlem, she had moved downtown to experience a different slice of New York culture-and to enjoy better take-out delivery, she adds. On the morning of Sept. 11, however, her manager Michael Simanga called her and told her to look outside her window.
“I looked out,” she recalls, “and there were all these businessmen walking and running, which is something you never see on my street. So I turned on the TV and saw what they were running from-the World Trade Center, only eight blocks away. It was like being in a really bad movie; it was terrifying and exciting at the same time. The whole city had been brought to its knees.
“As Americans, we always feel that we’re secure, that someone was taking care of the bad guys before they got to us. That day we all felt absolutely vulnerable. And out of that vulnerability came some amazing displays of humanity. Something strange kicked in for me, and I decided not to move. I felt a protectiveness for my new ‘hood. This was my home now, and I didn’t want to run away from home.”
Out of those experiences came a new song, “Just Another Parade.” “Yesterday’s news,” Wilson wrote over a skipping acoustic-guitar melody, “is tomorrow’s blues, but today I am alive/Today I did much more than survive.” As soon as she wrote it, she knew it was the song she had been seeking for her scheduled duet with new folk-soul star India.Arie. They quickly cut it in New York and added it to Belly of the Sun.
Arie is just one of the young female singers, along with Jill Scott, Norah Jones, Patricia Barber and others, who seem to be taking their cue from Wilson’s unorthodox approach to repertoire, songwriting, arrangement and delivery. These fellow travelers suggest that Wilson is not merely blazing a divergent path for herself but may be launching a whole new subgenre.
“Today you have a lot of strong, self-reliant women in the music,” Wilson argues, “and you can’t expect them to keep singing the songbook of the ’30s and ’40s. Those lyrics may have been appropriate for their time, but I was always taught that jazz was all about being in the moment. It has always been important to me to be relevant to my own time, to express my own feelings.
“When you canonize a certain group of songs and a certain way of singing, you don’t give the singer enough room to change. And if a musician can’t experiment and improvise, how can this be jazz? Someone has to push the boundaries of the music forward. Maybe that’s what I’m supposed to do.”Originally Published

Biomarker Identified In Relation To Drug Response In Refractory Urothelial Cancer
The antiangiogenic drug pazopanib has demonstrated clinically meaningful activity in patients with refractory urothelial cancer, according to results presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held here March 31 - April 4. The results also revealed that increases in interleukin-8 levels early after treatment with pazopanib may predict a lack of tumor response to the therapy.
"Historically, prognosis of patients with relapsed or refractory urothelial cancer is quite dismal," said Andrea Necchi, M.D., faculty member in the department of medicine at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori in Milan, Italy. "Patients who fail to be cured after multiple chemotherapy regimens have a poor survival estimate, and palliative care is a reasonable trade-off."Data from the phase II proof-of-concept trial identified pazopanib as the first targeted compound to have clinically meaningful activity in patients with refractory urothelial cancer, according to Necchi.
"Our data indicate that pazopanib seems to be a legitimate drug in this disease," said Necchi. "Most interestingly, our biomarker analysis clearly pointed out the role of rising levels of circulating interleukin-8 as an early and potentially practice-changing indicator of tumor resistance and poor survival."
The researchers assigned 41 patients with relapsing or progressing urothelial cancer between 2010 and 2011 to 800 mg once-daily pazopanib. All patients had at least one prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease.
At follow-up, seven patients had a partial response to therapy and 24 patients had stable disease – an overall clinical benefit of 76 percent. Median progression-free survival was 2.6 months, and median overall survival was 4.7 months. However, 10 percent of patients had a long-term cure after a median follow-up of 19 months.
The researchers examined blood samples for predictive biomarkers at baseline and every four weeks. They found that early rising levels of interleukin-8 (e.g., after four weeks of pazopanib) were associated with tumor progression and shorter overall survival.
"This trial gave a clear proof of concept that will require confirmation on a larger number of patients," Necchi said. "However, the preliminary findings, mainly regarding the role of interleukin-8 levels, have the potential to change at least the concept of new trial design with antiangiogenic agents in this disease."
Necchi served as an adviser and consultant for GlaxoSmithKline Inc. The current study was sponsored by Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori. GlaxoSmithKline Inc. provided the drug supply and granted independent radiologic review, which was performed at Columbia University Medical Center.

MALAYSIA won their first match when they beat Canada 4-3, but still ended last in Group B and will meet tournament favourites New Zealand in the quarter-finals of the Champions Challenge 1 in Kuantan tomorrow.
Malaysia needed three clear goals to avoid the Kiwis in the cross-over, and they started attacking Canada from the first whistle, but were instead hit by the Canadians.
The clock only showed three minutes when Canada won their first penalty corner, which was turned into a penalty stroke when the ball hit a defender's leg.
Canadian skipper Scott Tupper stepped up and beat goalkeeper S. Kumar from the spot in the fourth minute.
The fans went silent, but only for a minute as a full charge in the fifth minute saw Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin slamming the ball to the roof of the Canadian goalmouth for the equaliser.
Shahril Saabah provided the spark when he gave Malaysia the lead off their first penalty corner in the 19th minute with a powerful drive which looked like it was going to tear the netting apart.
But the Canadians refuse to be broken and in the 30th minute, Gabriel Ho-Garcia slapped home the equaliser when there was momentary confusion among the Malaysian defenders, and the 2-2 score stood until the hooter.
Shahril delivered again off a penalty corner attempt in the 40th minute, but Tupper again scored off a penalty stroke in the 54th minute to make it 3-3.
Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin then makes it 4-3 with a reverse stick drive in the 55th minute.

This is the most luxurious yarn I've ever used. I've made a scarf and am currently working on a top. Colours are gorgeous too. I have purchased other 100% silk yarns hoping they would compare.... not even close. This should be on everyone's must try list!

#1 Updated by Armin Vieweg over 3 years ago
- Status changed from New to Needs Feedback
- Assignee set to Alexander Krist
Sure that this is DCE related?
It looks like a normal content element and a bug in TYPO3 core. Probably the "inline record" part, which is responsible to get FAL relations.
Can you confirm that it is also buggy with regular content elements?
If yes, I move this ticket to TYPO3 CMS project for you.
Thanks for this detailed ticket, with screenshots and clear description!
#9 Updated by Andreas Allacher over 3 years ago
The issue is most likely that in \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Form\FormDataProvider\TcaInline class, the method getWorkspacedUids
returns an empty array, if there is any deleted record.
However, instead it should just continue the foreach loop and not add the record to the array.
#17 Updated by Andreas Allacher almost 3 years ago
The mentioned bugfix doesn't fix the following, quoting from review.
The other two lines are necessary to ensure deleted files in translations are not shown inside workspaces. If you now have two languages and images in a content-element in the non-default language. Now if you delete one of those images and save the content element in the non-default language, you will see that the image is still visible. That is why the other tow lines existed. Not sure if that hasn't been fixed with another ticket. If not, we should create a new ticket for that and move the corresponding changes there.
If not, we should create another ticket for that and move the code changes there.

Aloe for Hair Loss
Check out some of Aloe’s benefits
I have been looking for help for hair loss and ran across some articles about Aloe Vera. Numerous benefits have made this plant popular all around the world. For many years now, the Aloe Vera plant has been used for the treatment of different kinds of illness and disease. The powerful blend of Vitamins, Minerals and Sugars contained in Aloe Vera, make it… The Natural Healer indeed!
Aloe vera is one of the only known natural vegetarian sources of Vitamin B12, and it contains many minerals vital to the growth process and healthy function of all the body’s systems.
- One of the main reasons for hair loss is toxins in the small intestine. The detoxifying action of Aloe Vera leads to the removal of these toxins which helps remedy this problem.
- It has many vitamins and amino acids which make it immune – modulator, restorative and antioxidant.
If you’re buying aloe, some things to remember: Go organic; get 100% pure aloe; and make sure there are no green dyes or fragrance in there. You can get it on Marguerite Herbs you can grow your own, or you can get it at any health food store in gel form—which is the consistency of what comes out of the plant when you rip open a leaf.

Welcome to Episode 34 of the Ex Boyfriend Recovery Podcast.
Wow, 34 episodes.
I am super proud that we have reached this point in the pod-cast’s lifespan.
Recently I have decided to kind of get away from the one episode per day format and go to a one episode per week format. My theory is that you guys get more out of a really high quality, in-depth podcast episode.
After all, one of the things that sets me apart is the fact that I go into much more detail than my counterparts.
Well, today we are going to turn our attention to rebound relationships.
We are going to hear from “Anonymous” who believes,
- That she was the rebound
- She dated her ex for 5 months
- When he broke up with her he went back to his ex of 3-5 years
- Wonders what kind of chance she has
Lets take a look at what was covered in this episode,
What I Talked About In This Episode
- The three main factors I look at to determine a rebound relationship
- The Grass Is Greener Syndrome (GIGS)
- The two choices anonymous has
- How to get him back if she chooses to do so
Important Links Mentioned In This Episode
What You Have Going In Your Favor If YOU Are A Rebound
Below I have compiled a quick list of what you have working in your favor if you determine that you were a rebound to your ex boyfriend.
Oh, and there really isn’t a game plan in this particular episode so I am doing this instead.
Sorry if you wanted a game plan the next episode will probably have one.
He Broke Up With His Ex For A Reason
Anonymous’ ex went back to his ex.
Well, the two of them broke up for a reason and history does like to repeat itself.
Most People Don’t Have The Right Mindset Going Into A Relationship With Their Ex
The statement above pretty much says it all.
When most exes get back together they expect things to be better but the problems of the past are still there and both members of the relationship have to find a way to navigate them.
Speaking of past problems…
Lets say that anonymous’ ex was cheated on by his ex.
Well, if he gets back with his ex then that resentment is still going to be there.
This can cause problems in their relationship.
Welcome to Episode 34 of the Ex-Boyfriend Recovery Podcast. It’s been a little while since I’ve done one of these. I may have bitten off more than I could chew with my initial plans to do three of these a week. I’ve downgraded it to one a week. But I’ve decided that every single episode is going to be longer and more in depth. The person whose question I answer will get the attention that they deserve.
On that note, my wife and I have been throwing this idea around for a little while. We are pretty keen of the idea of doing some coaching on the website. We want to take on something like 15 to 30 clients where the clients pay a monthly fee for our services. We would create a tailor made game plan for their situation. We guarantee email response every 24 hours to any question they have. We answer every question they could have in depth.
In addition to that, we’re also thinking about bundling all of the ebook offerings. One of the reasons I’m so busy lately is that I’m starting to create more products for the Ex-Boyfriend Recovery brand. I just finished a product on the un-gettable girl, and how to become the un-gettable girl. It’s about how to become more attractive to any man in just two weeks.
It’s a two-week training course through email. Every day, the training advances. You start off with the simplest parts of the training. As time goes on, things get more and more advanced. I just finished that up. I’m going to be offering it for $7. It’s very affordable. I’m hoping a lot of people jump on the opportunity to buy that. I will give you more information when that comes out.
There is still more to come in the pipeline. I also have plans to create what I’m going to call a texting bible. Imagine that you are trying to get your ex-boyfriend back and you’re in the middle of texting him. You are in the texting phase of the re-attraction process. You’re really struggling on what to send.
This is probably one of the most asked about questions that I get on the website. Women will ask, “Chris, what should I send in this specific situation? What can I say? How should I end the conversation?” I’ve decided to put a lot of time and effort into creating a texting bible. It’s a reference guide that you can turn to.
You can say, “In a situation where I’m trying to build attraction to an ex, these are the perfect text messages for that. In the event that he gives me some push back, these are the text messages for that.”
Any kind of texting situation you can think of, I’m trying to create a book to guide you on how to deal with all of those. It should have something like 300 to 500 text messages in there. It will be in depth and explained. It’s going to be quite a challenging process but I think I’m going to start doing that.
There is a lot of stuff going on. I’m in the middle of redoing the Sarah versus Kai case study. I’m making it more in depth and helpful for you. I want the free case study to be highly valued. That’s information that you usually have to pay for.
On the cusp of all of that, I think I’m going to be doing this coaching idea, where I take on a specific number of clients and tailor make a game plan for them. I give them the coaching that they deserve for a monthly fee. I’m not going to say that it will be the cheapest fee in the world because my time is very valuable. It will not be something like $500 a month.
I have an idea of my time value. I think a lot of people are going to jump on this opportunity so I’m a little bit frightened to do it. I’m afraid that there won’t be enough spots and I won’t have enough time to do it. I’m capping it around 15 to 30. That’s what’s been in the pipeline for Ex-Boyfriend Recovery. If you’re an avid fan or listener of this podcast, be excited.
This year is a really huge year for growth. We released a podcast this year, redid the ebook, redid the website and we’re creating more products. We have plans to increase our social presence across the world. There’s a lot changing with the Ex-Boyfriend Recovery brand.
In addition to that, I’m still trying to create content and be the same old me, the same guy who writes these 7,000 to 8,000 word guides on how to get your ex back in this or that situation. I’m really busting my butt to try and help you out. I do want to apologize for not recording these podcasts as much as I should but that’s my lame excuse.
Let’s get to today’s question. The person who asked today’s question didn’t give a name. We’re going to call her Anonymous. Her question is rather short but I’m going to expand a lot on it because it deals with an interesting topic. That topic is rebound relationships.
Let’s hear from Anonymous now:
“What if I was the rebound girl? What if you find out later that you dated for five months, he breaks up with you and gets back with his girlfriend that he dated for three to four years? I never asked him how long it’s been since they had dated. I just assumed it was a length of time. What if I’m the rebound girl?”
First, let’s recap. She’s asking about rebound relationships. She wondering, what if she was the rebound? She dated her ex-boyfriend for five months. We’ll round up to half a year. She says that he got back with his ex of three to five years. On the one hand, we have Anonymous who dated her ex-boyfriend for five months. On the other hand, her ex-boyfriend dated this other girl for three to five years. It seems like Anonymous doesn’t quite know the time frame of his relationship. Let’s split the difference and say that they dated for four years.
Her question was general about being the rebound girl. I’m going to answer the best I can. I don’t know the goal she is trying to accomplish. Let’s make a goal for her here. What should she do? Should she try to get him back or move on? That’s the goal.
Let’s start first by talking about rebound relationships. Rebound relationships are an interesting thing. A lot of people have different theories on them. I subscribe to the theory that there are three things you need to look at to determine if your ex-boyfriend is in a rebound relationship or if you were a rebound to your ex-boyfriend.
The first thing is how long you dated your ex-boyfriend. Right now, we’re focusing on Anonymous’ situation. We’re trying to figure out if she was rebound. She said she dated her ex-boyfriend for five months. That’s a decent amount of time. But it is not sufficient enough to not be a rebound.
I would say anything over a year or close to a year is bordering on not being a rebound. Five or six months is usually in that section where a rebound relationship is still possible. A lot of times, when men date women who are rebounds, they don’t necessarily want to just break up with them right away. There are some advantages that they get when having a rebound woman.
It’s an interesting dynamic. Deep down, women understand or know subconsciously that they are a rebound to this guy. The way they usually figure that out is the way they are being treated by him. One of the things that I’m always talking about on Ex-Boyfriend Recovery is the importance of making a man chase you. It also works for women, too. If a man is not getting you attention and you’re wondering why, wondering why you’re not being treated the way that you think you can be treated, what does the normal woman do?
The normal woman is going to start chasing her boyfriend to get that attention. This creates a dynamic where, instead of him chasing her, she’s chasing him and always wanting his affection. Men, being the way they are, love attention. They love affection. They love feeling like they are the greatest thing walking God’s green earth.
A rebound gives that to him. A rebound prevents him from thinking about his past relationship. He thinks he’s awesome due to his current girlfriend, even though he’s potentially using his current girlfriend on an emotional level.
Let’s get to the physical benefits of a man being in a rebound relationship. Often, women who don’t feel this intense need from the men try to overcome by having sex with the guy. They think in their minds, “If I sleep with the guy, he’s bound to have feelings.” Women attach a certain stigma to sex.
They attach a certain emotional connection to it. That’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that, a guy who is in a rebound relationship probably isn’t going to attach that same emotional stigma to it. He’s probably going to enjoy it very much but it’s not necessarily going to be enough for him to commit.
The first thing that you need to look at to figure out if you are in a rebound relationship, Anonymous, is how long you dated. Based on what you said with five to six months, I think you are in that territory where you are potentially a rebound relationship.
Let’s move on to the second thing. The second thing that you want to look at to figure out if you are in a rebound relationship is how fast he moved on. It seems like Anonymous doesn’t know this. I’m just going to tell you. Generally speaking, men do not get over relationships as fast as you think. I’m trying to think back to my very first relationship. I probably wasn’t over it for a few months. Still, I was pretty resentful. I think anytime that anyone’s resentful, they’re not truly over it. I dated the girl for nine months. It took me about three months to get over it, to where I didn’t care anymore.
Since you do not know how long it took him to move on, Anonymous, let’s go through some general guidelines about the time it takes him to move on. If he just broke up with his girlfriend and, a week later meets and starts dating you, you are definitely in that rebound territory. If he broke up with his girlfriend, and a year later meets you, then you are not in rebound territory. A year should be more than enough for a four-year relationship. A year should be enough for him to move on, be alone and gain hold of his feelings to a certain extent.
There is one asterisk I have to put by this. Let’s say he was married for 25 years. He’s probably not going to get over that in a year. After being married that long, he probably wants some freedom, too. It would probably take him a longer time. I think there is a correlation to how long he has been to his ex-girlfriend and how long it takes him to fully get over the relationship. However long it takes him to get over his relationship usually plays a factor in the rebound issue.
The longer that he’s in a relationship with a girl, the longer it will take him to get over the girl. In order for you not to be a rebound, he has to be fully over that woman. Some men are different. Some men jump from relationship to relationship and never have a really long-term relationship. I guess that’s another issue entirely.
The second factor that we’re looking at here is how fast he moved on. Unfortunately, Anonymous, you do not know that.
Let’s move onto the third factor. The third factor is how long he dated her. I talked a little bit about this just a second ago. It is important how long he dated his ex. The longer he dates his ex, the longer it will take him to get over the relationship. That’s just the way it works.
Ideally, in a perfect world, he only dated his ex for two months and you dated him for six months. Then you are probably not a rebound. But if he dated his ex for six years and he dated you for six months, then you probably are a rebound.
When we look at all these factors, Anonymous, based on everything that you said, even though one of the factors is missing completely, I will say that you are definitely at risk of being a rebound relationship. That’s definitely possible. It seems like, after you two broke up, he immediately ran back to his ex-girlfriend. That tells me that he was thinking about his ex-girlfriend while in your relationship or that he trusted her enough to help with the pain.
I’d like to switch gears here and talk about the grass is greener syndrome. The grass is greener syndrome and the rebound relationship goes hand in hand. This is how the grass is greener syndrome works. A guy starts dating a girl. He compares this new girl to his old girlfriend. If the old girlfriend was better, that’s going to make her more attractive.
He’ll be more likely to come back. If the new girlfriend is better, he’s going to be more un-attracted to his old girlfriend and be more likely to stay. The grass is greener on the other side. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. It seems like, in this case Anonymous, you struck out here. When I usually talk about the grass is greener syndrome, I talk about women using it to their advantage.
Leverage your old relationship with him to your advantage. But it seems like you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum here. It seems like he was with you and potentially got the grass is greener syndrome about his ex-girlfriend. He wanted to go back. I would not say that you need to be depressed over this.
What I’d like to talk to you about now is the error of his ways. Right now, you’re faced with an opportunity. You’re faced with a crossroads. There are two things you can do. You can either try to get him back or move on. Let’s talk about getting him back since I know that’s probably what you’re more interested in. Then I’ll talk about moving on after that.
In order to get him back, he needs to break up with his ex-girlfriend. The one positive that you can take out of this situation, Anonymous, is that, in my experience, the work doesn’t stop just trying to get an ex back. It also has to go into maintaining the relationship. I am more qualified than probably a lot of people to tell you this. A lot of times, when people get back together, they end up breaking up again.
That’s due to a number of reasons, which I’m about to list. The first one is that they did break up for a reason. He and his ex-girlfriend did break up for a reason. History often repeats itself. I don’t know if you know this, but the part of your brain that is triggered when you go through a breakup is the part of the brain that’s active in a cocaine addict. Essentially, when you break up, you’re going through a withdrawal period where you want your ex back. Men have the same brains as women. They’re going to get the same type of cocaine-type experience after a breakup.
Let’s hypothetically say that, after his breakup with his ex, he started getting these withdrawal symptoms. He dated you but this withdrawal symptom did not go away. Eventually, after he broke up with you, he went back to his ex. The part of the brain that is triggered is also the part of the brain that is triggered in cocaine addicts.
When he gets back with his ex, eventually, his brain is going to mellow out. He’s going to default to his normal setting. How he felt initially in the relationship with his ex is eventually what he’s probably going to arrive at again. It sounds weird, I know I’m talking about cocaine.
The cocaine part of his brain is going to deactivate a little bit. He’s going to mellow out. Once he mellows out, he’s going to default back to that original setting he had and the original problem that caused the breakup in the first place. It’s entirely likely that he could get back with his ex and then history is going to repeat itself again.
The underlying issue behind their breakup is not going to go away. That’s one of the things you have in your favor for them to potentially break up. He could potentially run back to you.
Many people don’t have the right mindset going in. When people get back with their ex, they expect that they’re just going to pick up right where they left off. They want things to be like they were before. There is a flaw there. A breakup is one of the most emotionally troubling experiences that you can go through as a human being. You don’t just forgive and forget that. A lot of people think that when they get back together, they’ll pick up where they left off, but it never is.
The most successful people at holding relationships together when they get back with their exes are the people who come in with this mindset of, “I’m going to create a new and better relationship.” They don’t try to pick up where they left off. Part of the problem with picking up where you left off in a past relationship is the fact that the past relationship failed. Why would you want to pick up where you left off in a failing relationship? No. Something needs to change. Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result every time. It is insane to think that you’re going to get back with your ex, do the same things, and it’s going to be all good. No. It’s insane to think that.
You need to change something up. When a lot of people get back together, they don’t have the right mindset. It takes two to tango in a relationship. Both of you have to be in agreement on this mindset. You have to really work hard on this relationship. Something tells me that he’s not going to do that.
The other thing you have going in your favor here is the past resistance of his relationship. Obviously past problems in a relationship don’t go away. Cheating comes to mind here. If he was cheated on by his ex-girlfriend and he dated you and then comes back to her, it’s not like his resentment for that cheating will magically disappear. The sins of the past are still probably following him around. He’s holding on to these resentments. I think that could also work against him and his ex.
When it comes to getting him back, Anonymous, if this is the path you want to go down, time is your best asset here. Move on without moving on. With that, I want to switch gears here and talk about moving on. Like I said, you are at a crossroads. You have two decisions. You can either try to get him back or you can move on. It’s really simple.
What I like to do is propose a theory that merges the two. Obviously you want him back. But if you really want to get him back, sometimes the best way to do that is to move on. Like I said, for all the reasons I listed, they broke up for a reason and history repeats itself. Most people don’t have the right mindset going in. There is the past resentment of the sins of the past.
All of these reasons are headwinds that he and his ex-girlfriend have to overcome. There is a lot of history there. The fact that there’s a lot of history and it didn’t work out doesn’t bode well for them. It takes a special person to really hold things together. Something has to change this time around for them.
When you look at it like that, sitting on the sidelines and watching the demise is probably all you have to do. Then after some time after their breakup, you can try to approach him. That’s my advice if you were to try to get him back, especially since it’s most likely that you were a rebound. My advice would be to lay back and let the thing fail on its own. The odds are against them. I’m a percentage person. I’m very logical in my thinking. When I look at situations like this, I try to look at the percentages. It’s a high percentage that they end up breakup up again for one or all of the reasons that I just listed. Sometimes all you have to do is wait.
I don’t want you to just sit on your hands and wait for them to break up, and then strike. That’s not healthy. I can’t tell you how many times I tell women this, but your time is extremely valuable. Do not waste it. This is the premise of moving on without moving on. Their relationship is probably destined to fail.
But don’t just wait around and expect it to fail. That’s not smart. That’s not a high percentage game. You want to move on. This is weird, because I know deep down, you don’t want to move on. But by moving on, you become more attractive to him. His relationship will start to fail. Then he’ll start comparing his current relationship to you and thinking, “Maybe I didn’t have it so bad with her.”
Also, you’re going to give yourself more options. I think that’s really important for you. It really works in your advantage. If you move on and you find out four or five months later that they’ve broken up, and you’re still not over him, then you just go after him. In the meantime, work on moving on. I know there is a lot of hesitation from women about this, especially more mature women in their 30s who are looking to settle down.
They’re not just looking to party, have fun with their girlfriends, play the field a little bit with guys or go on a bunch of dates. I find that women who want to settle down are almost scared to go out of their way and start over. They don’t want to start with someone new.
It’s almost like a video game. Let’s say, in a video game, you advance to level 10. The last thing you want to do is start over from level one and then work your way back up to level 10. No. You want to move from level 10 to level 11. It’s kind of like that. A lot of women are hesitant to move on because they think if they have to start over with someone new that it’s like starting over from level one.
There is all this time and effort they have to put into the relationship to get to level 10. Then they’re expecting a deeper commitment. It just feels helpless at times. I’m here to tell you, don’t be afraid to start over. Your time is valuable. This is probably the smartest game plan that anyone can come up with for you. Move on without moving on.
Look, I know you want the guy back. I know it’s important to you, but since you’re a rebound, you need to find a way to assert your value. You need to find a way to make him understand that you are a high-value woman. The best way to do that is to move on.
I’m going to link to an article for you about how to get over your ex. In there, I teach you how to move on. I don’t necessarily want you to cut him out of your life entirely. I think just for a few months is probably a solid idea. If you decide that, after you’re trying to move on, you still have feelings for him then that’s great. You’re just buying yourself time.
Like I said, for all the reasons I listed, I think that their relationship is probably destined to fail. Once he’s single again, that’s when you can strike. For now, just move on. Try to play the field a little bit. Try to go on some dates. Try to start over at level one. I know it’s a scary thing. It takes a lot of energy and effort to move from level to level. Just try it out.
A lot of times, I find that it’s usually when women go through their darkest periods that something really good is just around the corner. I’m a glass half full kind of guy. I choose to believe that. Anonymous, I wish you the best. If you have any questions, please ask a question in the comments section.

I am very interested in this project as I am looking for the ability of

Space gray iPhone 5s gallery
Here it is; the Space Gray iPhone 5s. Having queued outside in the cold British weather, I now have in my possession a brand shiny new iPhone 5s in black and gray. The Space Gray is actually quite a handsome beast, so before any reviews, before even turning it on and activating, here's a few quick hands on snaps for your viewing pleasure. I've also thrown in a couple of side-by-side shots with my white and silver iPhone 5, to give an even better impression of the color, and the difference in the camera flash between the two.
If you're either waiting on one of these, or out in a lineup somewhere to grab one, let me know what you think of it!

flights, busses,cars and jets were all down at Durban this past weekend for the Durdan July. "A Material World " that was the theme for this year. Designers had to do what they do best but this time going green. Some designers got it right but some didn't get it at all. The male celebrities got it right they looked great thanks to Palse Homme for dressing them
Can't say the same for the ladies some looked ok and a bit sexy . To bad Queen B was not their to bring the fashion thier.
but the people we don't know looked smokey hot they looked sexy
Sama awards came and gone the fashion their was out of this world with likes like Miss South Africa 2011, and the ex live presenter and queen b were just glowing with beauty . We have to say congratulations to South African designer on being on the world stage at New york fashion David Tlale. Melinda Bam rocked the samas in a yellow and black dress by the one and only David tlale.

[deleted account] ( 19 moms have responded )
I'm switching from disposable to cloth ( I was using disposable while living at my parents house while my husband was in Iraq) now that I'm back in my own home. I currently only have 2 prefolds and one cover, so I can only cloth diaper 2 times a day. I like the prefolds and covers, but I know they will be difficult for my hubby to use, so I'd like to try some AIOs or fitted with a cover. Any suggestions??? I tried the kissaluvs fitted diaper before, but they were WAY too bulky on my little guy.

Yesterday I jumped out of bed with an excitement I haven’t had in years: excitement for the Holiday season, excitement for twinkle lights, excitement for Christmas traditions, excitement for baking cookies, making crafts, and playing games.
I’m looking forward to this season with much anticipation for all of the events and fun things we have planned — but also to savor the quiet moments and really let myself slow down and be still. Those moments are going to be much needed with all of the hustle and bustle this season brings. And though it normally brings a fair amount of busyness all on its own, this season will be even busier with some event plans, travel plans, and all of the things my December calendar is already chocked full of.
I redid my cover page as well as added “The Reason Why” (free printable via Ali Edwards HERE). I really want to be mindful this season, and I want my family to be mindful as well. It’s so easy to get caught up in shopping for gifts, trying to match the abundance of past years. But Christmas isn’t about that at all: and we need to remember to slow down and remember our why.
This season my reason why is about GOOD CHEER: bringing others good cheer through service, cultivating good cheer through time spent with family and friends, having good cheer by being grateful for everything that we already have — not wasting energy on wishing for more, more, more (speaking of more, I saw this great photo/excerpt from the most recent REI catalog that Casie shared in the December Daily®️ Facebook group):
I’m so thankful she shared this. It’s spot on — and was a much needed reminder that happiness is a choice, one that we can choose every day. And if we remember to take the time to reflect, give thanks, and focus on the things that truly bring us peace and joy, the constant craving for more, more, more will fade.
Hope you all are enjoying these first few days of December and making time to do things that bring you joy.
Happy December! Love and hugs to you.

The May report from Eurekahedge shows that hedge funds witnessed the seventh consecutive month of positive returns in May, despite mixed returns in global markets. The Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index was up 0.20% during the month, 3.89% year to date, against the backdrop of the MSCI World Index which was down 0.45% in May.Eurekahedge's key highlights for May 2013 included:
In terms of the regional indices, Eurekahedge found that May started off on a good note with positive economic data from the US, leading to rallies in global equity markets, specifically in North America where market indices reached all-time highs. The firm writes: “The US dollar strengthened against most major currencies, going above 100 level against the Japanese yen for the first time since 2009. The positive sentiment turned mid-month amid weak manufacturing numbers from China and uncertainty regarding the withdrawal of the US Federal Reserve’s asset purchase program."
Most major hedge fund investment regions delivered positive returns in May, with Asia ex-Japan hedge funds reporting the strongest returns during the month. The managers outperformed the market for the third consecutive month gaining 2.35% in May while the MSCI Asia Ex Japan Index was down 4.35% - the largest returns posted by funds focused on Greater China, up 4% in May. The Eurekahedge Japan Hedge Fund Index grew 0.42% in May, bringing its year-to-date return to 18.34% and extending their winning run to the ninth month making it the longest winning streak on record for Japanese funds.
The firm writes: “The month’s return represents an outperformance by the managers as the Nikkei 225 declined 0.62% while the Tokyo Topix was down 2.52% during May. The Japanese markets witnessed some volatility during the month as the Nikkei fell 7.3% in a single day, amid concerns about US stimulus, before rallying at the month end after some positive announcements from the Japanese central bank."
Turning to North America, the Eurekahedge North American Hedge Fund Index was up 1.06% in May bringing its year-to-date return to 4.46%. The S&P500 was up 2.08% in May but witnessed a mid-month trend reversal, declining to 1630 after reaching an intra-day high of 1687 in the fourth week of May. This trend was also witnessed across European bourses, however most European indices finished the month higher holding on to gains generated after the ECB’s rate cut. The Eurekahedge European Hedge Fund Index grew 0.83% during the month.
In terms of strategy indices, Eurekahedge found that returns were mixed among the different strategic indices, with distressed debt hedge funds posting the strongest gains of 1.87%. “Distressed debt managers have witnessed 11 straight months of positive returns, gaining 21% since end-June 2012” the firm said. “The distressed debt sector gained earlier in the month from the positive sentiment around global economic data while the ECB rate cut triggered rallies in the European distressed bonds sector, but the increased risk aversion at the end of the month led to some losses. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Index was down 0.43% in May."
CTA/managed futures funds were the hardest hit over the month, posting the largest negative returns, declining by 1.69% on average. “Trend-followers suffered due to the reversal in market sentiment mid-month, although some short-term systematic funds witnessed some gains. A number of managers also reported losses from the energy and precious metals sector. On the other hand some managers investing in FX delivered positive returns gaining from short AUD/USD positions” the firm said.

The last date for filling in the application forms for the Joint Entrance Exam(JEE) is December 26. The filling process started from November 15. The online examination would be held on April 9, 11, 12 and 19.
The exam assumes importance as the Gujarat government had decided to consider 40% marks scored in the JEE and 60% of the class XII exams for seeking admission in the engineering colleges. Last year about 1,20,000 students appeared for the examination and this year too the same number of students are expected to appear.
The Gujarat government had done away with the GUJCET scores for seeking admission in the engineering stream as students did not get time to prepare for both the examinations. But, for those who wish to seek admission in pharmacy stream have to appear for the GUJCET as the scores of GUJCET are still considered for admission in pharmacy stream.

The farrier came yesterday. It was a new farrier that I hadn’t ever used before. My regular farrier has been so swamped that he wasn’t able to come out. I’d been trying to get ahold of him for weeks. So I finally called someone else and she was able to come out within a week. If I had the patience and back for it, I would totally go to farrier school. There is always a need and just never seems to be enough of them to go around!She was great and my horses were of course naughty. Duke will be working on his manners, Pistol will be working on being caught when the farrier is there, and George will work on being trimmed in the barn. I can’t believe how prancy Duke was. He’d never been like that before. Well maybe a few times. Okay so almost every time, But he usually gets over it within a few minutes. This time it was almost the entire trim. I also can’t believe how naughty Pistol was about being caught. He has been so good lately and will usually bug me and basically beg to be caught. Not when the farrier was there though. What a creep. George wasn’t a fan of being trimmed in the barn. But once we trimmed him outside he was just fine.
The horses were all over due for trims, so we were charged a bit extra. Not a huge deal. I totally figured as much. I’d definitely use this farrier again.
Today was the vet visit day. I figured I would have the vet out to do spring shots, for the horses and the dogs too rather than having to make multiple vet appointments. The horses had their shots and coggins drawn and then George had a checkup. Geogre was first and obviously he was great for having blood drawn and shots given. I asked about his weight and he said that he was looking good, but could stand to gain a few pounds, but as far as Thoroughbreds go, he was looking normal. His lungs, guts, and heart sound great. The vet checked his back for soreness and when he hit a spot in the middle of his back he tossed his head every time. Vet thought that it could be related to his hind legs. He did a test where he held up his back foot for one minute and then had him trot off to see if there was any stiffness or soreness. And there was. The first leg George was too lazy to trot off right away. But the second time I’d given the vet a lunge whip and he trotted off with very visible soreness. The vet said that with a 10 year old horse, with a racing history it isn’t uncommon for him to have sore hocks. It’s very common and he sees it a lot with ex racers, barrel racers, cutters etc. He wanted to have him in for x-rays and then more than likely he would need to inject his hocks. I know it’s not a huge deal, but I’ve never had a horse that needed it done. I’ve worked with horses that have needed it done, and I’ve ridden horses that have had it done, but I always seemed to dodge the bullet on my own. Oh well not a huge deal. The vet said they usually only need to be done once a year. I had also asked after George didn’t want to trot off if that was normal for 10 year old Thoroughbreds. He laughed and said “no” a majority of thoroughbreds he sees, even older ones are still really feisty and will drag you away. I lucked out again with this bag of lazy bones.
Pistol was a champion for his shots and blood draw. But Duke was an absolute creep again. Thankfully my husband was still home and dealt with him. He just hates having anything put into him or taken out of him. Unless you are putting treats into his mouth, he doesn’t want any part of it. I’m glad the vet gave his shots and not us. Uffda. That is a strong, thick headed horse.The dogs got their shots and had blood drawn to test for heartworm. It’s nice being able to get them all taken care of at home. I’d much rather have them get their shots and check up at home rather than hauling them all in and juggling them at the clinic. They are good dogs, but they are “farm dogs” and they don’t quite understand proper vet clinic etiquette.
Needless to say I’m not looking forward to the bill when it comes. I hate vet bills, but it’s a necessary evil just like the farrier bill. In hind sight I should have just had George’s back adjusted by the vet, but I wasn’t thinking property first thing this morning. Once I get him used to the trailer I will probably haul him in for xrays and/or injections, so I’ll just have him adjusted then too.When the vet and his tech were all finished up, and were getting ready to leave they realized that their truck was locked. Yep, my barn cats had been crawling around in the truck and locked the doors. Thankfully though my husband had the tools to unlock the doors for them…why he has a automobile door unlocking kit…not sure, but we are all glad that he did!
Oh and one more thing! When the farrier showed up yesterday and I brought George up to her, she said “that is a nice looking horse!” And then again this morning the vet said “He’s a real nice looking horse.” My head is swelling up just like it did when everyone would stop me on my old Palomino and complement me on what a nice looking horse he was. Lets just hope that he rides as well as he looks!
OH and one more final, final thing. I am looking for a pair of regular old stirrup leathers. If anyone has any that they were wanting to find a new home for let me know. I have stuff to trade!

- "You set us up - You always wanted to be the one - the man - You're a gimp, Johnny. A gimp and a fucking Judas."
- ― Brian Jeremy
It is the turning point mission for The Lost and Damned, and is the reason some events in GTA IV and TBoGT happened. Also, the truth behind the events in this mission is explained in the TBoGT mission Chinese Takeout.
Before the Mission Jim Fitzgerald finds out that the heroin they stole from the Angels of Death actually belonged to the Chinese Triads, and they aren't too happy about it. Jim tells Billy who secretly strikes a deal with the Triads, as seen in the TBoGT mission Chinese Takeout.
In the mission's intro cutscene Billy seems to want to keep it for distribution and profit, so Johnny mentions that because of the war they have gotten into with the Angels, the possibility of government agencies looking into them, plus the fact that they can't stop fighting amongst themselves, that getting into a fight with the Triads is the last thing they need right now. Jim and Johhny suggest they strike up a deal with the Triads. Billy and Brian, who is involved in Billys secret plan, play beeing defeated by the argument, and finally agree.
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the meet with Billy
- Take out the Triads
- Go to the front of the building
- Go to your bike
- You are now Chapter President. Lead the group back to your turf
After starting this mission, like usual, you'll witness a cutscene. Turns out The Angels of Death were in a small business relationship with Algonquin Triads and the heroin The Lost Brotherhood stole earlier ultimately belonged to the latter. Through the cutscene, Billy and Brian play beeing convinced that getting rid of the heroin as quick as possible is the best route, as the AOD, Chinese and law enforcement are highly involved, but it is also seen that Billy and Brian seem to have some sort of secret plan as they make faces and secretly look at each other.
During the slow ride to the meeting place, keep on The Lost badge to trigger conversations between Lost members regarding current happenings. After a while, Billy announces yet another race to the destination (in southern Algonquin, Chinatown). Win or lose, reach the yellow marker.
In the following scene, Billy and Brian say they'll be hanging behind to "watch their backs", while Johnny and Jim head into the trade off by themselves. The plan is to make the Chinese pay The Lost MC a lesser rate for their own heroin in order to buy it back from them, then they can flip it for more money after.
However, the Triads see no point in paying for something they made and worked hard to smuggle into the country, and thus a large gunfight ensues with Johnny and Jim trapped inside the building and Billy and Brian on the outside.
You and Jim have to escape the unfinished building, while the Triads attempt to stop you. Defeat all of the Triads who blocked your way, and follow behind Jim. The game directs you outside and marks the construction panels as your way down, so watch your step. Use the Automatic 9mm or the Sawn-off Shotgun to get rid of all the close range enemies.
During the shootout, the police are alerted by the gunfire and set off towards the Dragon Heart Plaza.
You have to descend the building, keeping Jim alive. Once you work your way around the building, a series of short ladders come up to for you to climb down, along with more hostile Triads. Take them out, and head down to a balcony right above the ground.
From this vantage point, Johnny and Jim see that Billy has crashed his bike, he's injured and three armed police officers close in on him, forcing Billy to surrender. In a shouting fit before being apprehended, Billy yells "you set me up, Johnny!" blaming his right-hand man for the arrest. After the takedown, Johnny calls Brian's cell phone to inform him about Billy, and tells him to meet him around back where the bikes are. When Johnny and Jim hook up with Brian, the three ride back to the clubhouse as an infuriated Brian expresses his hatred for this. Now that Billy's been busted, the player must lead the pack instead of following behind. Once back at the clubhouse, Brian makes sure to let you and the others know he firmly believes you sold Billy out to the cops to gain president status. With that, the mission concludes, and Johnny permanently cuts all ties with Billy.
Behind the mission
- It is unclear what Billy and Brian were doing while Jim and Johnny were being attacked by the Triads. They may have tried to flee Chinatown, since Billy wanted Johnny dead (as revealed in TBoGT) and Billy crashed his bike, although Brian was with him and he might have heard the police sirens and fled without Billy.
- The Triads' failure to kill Johnny and Jim in this mission may partially be caused by Luis wiping out a portion of their organization beforehand, during the mission Chinese Takeout.
- In TBoGT mission Chinese Takeout it is revealed that Billy had arranged for Johnny to be ambushed and killed at the Dragon Heart Plaza as he is discussing the situation with the Triad Boss.
- If Johnny leaves the building when he is supposed to go to the front for the next cutscene, he will fail the mission because he abandoned Jim.
- If you abandon Jim with the Triads by jumping off the wall from Johnny's left, the game will say that Jim has died, even if you killed the first few Triads at the start.
- If you jump from the wall to Johnny's left, the place is the same as when you go down to the exit with Jim shooting down the Triads as you go down, showing the final cutscene of the mission, if you go down the wall leaving Jim with the Triad members, there will be no Triad members down there as the game says Jim has been killed by the Triads.
Liberty Tree Newspaper
"The Police Commissioner has stated that, besides terrorists and peaceful political protest we don't approve of, the next biggest threat to civic order within Liberty City is motorcycle gangs. A recent barroom shootout resulted in several young Asian men dead at the hands of leather-clad, bike-riding harbingers of death."
"We could not reach a member of The Lost Motorcycle Club for comment but a spokesperson for the Angels of Death denied any member involvement in this altercation. He claimed that they are, "just a bunch of guys who like to get together, get drunk and then ride choppers. We keep our noses clean." If lines of methamphetamine have a sanitizing effect, then this guy might be right."
After the Mission
- After this mission, there will be temporarily no one playing Hi-Lo and Arm Wrestling in The Lost Clubhouse, until another mission or side-missions completed.
- Completing this mission unlocks the "Lost Boy" Achievement as you become The Lost President.
- After this mission, news reports on the internet and radio stations detail Tom Goldberg's death in the GTA IV mission Final Interview, giving you an idea of when this mission takes place along side GTA IV.
- Interestingly an online news report also appears in GTA IV after completion of Final Interview which details this mission, referring to it as a "barroom shootout" which means that this mission had already been planned out when the online news stories for GTA IV were created almost a year before the release of The Lost and Damned.
- Even if you use cheats to change the weather, it will change back to stormy weather shortly afterwards, the same happens in The Master and the Molotov.
- While driving to the Dragon Heart Plaza, the mission will fail if you kill either Billy, Jim or Brian. Also, if you kill Billy and try to take his bike, Johnny will refuse to get on it, as he won't use it until after this mission.
- If you're a bit further away from the three bikers when driving to the meet, you won't have to race The Lost crew members to the Dragon Heart Plaza, as The Lost marker won't appear on the road behind Billy until you're actually closer to the bikers, but once you get to the meet, Johnny will still say it was good race, despite him losing and them not partaking in the race at all, and at the end of the race. After you arrive at the meet, by entering The Lost marker, there's an extra piece of dialogue which Billy says before racing.
- You can't ask Terry and Clay for back-up until after the mission Hit the Pipe and will be available in the next one. Liberty City Choppers was a one-time only occurrence as it was apart of that mission.
- Even if you don't enter The Lost marker, the dialogue will continue regardless, including the race.
- This mission is the only time when you can call Brian's Phone and he will answer, possibly because he betrays and defects from The Lost after this. Another reason is because he is extremely loyal to Billy and hates Johnny.
- In the ending cutscene of this mission when Johnny, Jim, and Brian return from the Dragon Heart Plaza, a fourth random biker is shown running up with them. Seeing as he was never with them in the first place, it is most likely a continuity error, and he was cut from the mission itself.
- The music that plays upon mission completion is different from the usual one, and is a sad tune (the same one that is heard when usually failing a mission), possibly due to Billy's arrest. This also happens in Was It Worth It? and Get Lost.
- While playing this mission on the Xbox 360, it's renamed "This Stuff's Cursed" on player's profiles. This is probably to censor the profane language.
- After this mission, Billy's contact number will be removed from Johnny's phone.
- This is the second mission in the entire GTA series to have a profane word in its mission title, the first being Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up in GTA III.
- Ashley and Angus can be called after this mission discussing Billy's arrest.
- This mission marks the halfway point of the events of The Lost and Damned.

The latest move by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to recognize Israel as a state has been described as the climax of the three-year covert and secret relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv, which can lead to the creation of an anti-Israel coalition by the Islamic states.
The Persian-language website of IRGC-affiliated Basirat think-tank has, in a recent report, weighed on the possible consequences of Bin Salman’s recent recognition of the Israeli regime. What follows is the full text of the article:
Since King Salman rose to power in Saudi Arabia, a new chapter was opened in the relations between Riyadh and the Zionist regime. Over the past three years, bilateral relations between the two sides have gained momentum step by step reaching a climax at which the Saudi Crown Prince announced, in a recent interview, that Riyadh recognizes the entity of the Zionist regime.
In the interview with The Atlantic, the Saudi crown prince said “there are a lot of interests we share with Israel and if there is peace, there would be a lot of interest between Israel and the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council countries and countries like Egypt and Jordan.”
In reply to a question whether or not the Palestinian nation is entitled to have control over parts of the occupied lands, he said “I believe that each people, anywhere, has a right to live in their peaceful nation.”
The crown prince claimed that he has religious concerns about the holy mosque in Jerusalem al-Quds and the rights of the Palestinians, adding “Saudi Arabia has no objection against any other people.”
He noted “I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own lands. But we have to have a peace agreement to assure the stability for everyone and to have normal relations.”
The remarks by Bin Salman should be taken as the final act of the three-year efforts by the Zionist regime to pressurize Saudi Arabia into recognizing the regime. The recognition comes as US President Donald Trump is seeking to implement the “Deal of Century” and relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds. So, recognition of Israel by Saudi Arabia will have clear messages and ramifications.
Ramifications of Bin Salman’s Move for Israel
The new stance of Bin Salman towards Israel means the recognition of the Zionist regime by Saudi Arabia. This, in turn, can pave the way for the implementation of the US’ Deal of Century to relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds. Trump’s move to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of Israel sparked harsh reactions from all over the world, except for a number of states; no major international player backed the move.
So, due to the global objections, the US decision to relocate its embassy in the occupied territories is facing a large number of challenges. Amid this situation, Saudi Arabia’s support for Israel and its recognition of the Zionist regime can partly decrease the pressure on Trump because Riyadh has a special position in the Islamic world due to its custodianship of the two Holy Mosques in Medina and Mecca. The Saudi regime has had the custodianship of the mosques over the past eight decades. This, in turn, has created a capacity which Riyadh takes advantage of to fulfill its goals.
Today the triangle of Bin Salman, Netanyahu and Trump has focused on coping with Iran’s regional influence. Therefore, targeting Palestine as one of the soft power capacities of Iran in the Islamic world has been carried out by the three-member group not only to deal with Iran’s influence but also to prepare the grounds for recognition of Israel.
On the other hand, one of the main dangerous consequences of Bin Salman’s move is that some tiny Arab countries like Bahrain may follow the footsteps of Saudi Arabia. By offering financial support to some weak Arab and Islamic states, Saudi Arabia has managed to take control of their foreign policies. Now, there are deep concerns that these countries might recognize Israel as a state like Saudi Arabia did.
While Saudi Arabia’s move will increase pressure on the Palestinians and funnel more Saudi money to Israel, it can also have dire consequences for both Riyadh and Tel Aviv. Over the past eight decades, Saudi Arabia has managed to whitewash its anti-Islamic measures by underlining its custodianship of the Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina but recognition of Israel will destroy the low credibility of Saudi Arabia in the Islamic world. Meanwhile, through this move, Saudi Arabia has allied itself with Israel and the US. This in turn can lead to the creation of an anti-Israel coalition by the Islamic states. Today, any country’s recognizing of Israel can inflict a heavy blow on the Palestinian cause and such moves can reunite the Islamic states against Tel Aviv.
Finally, Bin Salman’s recognition of Israel has put an end to the three-year covert and secret relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv. From now on, Saudi Arabia should be viewed as the close friend of Israel and a protector of its interest.
Therefore, it is upon all Islamic states to revise the structures of their leagues and unions and rearrange them without Saudi Arabia and with a focus on the Palestinian cause and support for Jerusalem al-Quds as the Palestinian capital.

When I took off on this trip in August of 2010 I sold or gave away everything I owned. The series of blog posts about this didn’t go anywhere until a linkbait tastic post of Extreme Minimalism sure did. Last week the Village Voice reached out, and today reported, to see how the project was developing. I didn’t realize how I had almost stopped talking about the project (the last update coming in May).
That was May. I had just moved to NYC for the first time and was having a blast wondering around the city and trying to start another company after travels. I fell in love with the city, and then out of love with the city and took a dive into the wilderness in Colorado. I worked on a ranch for a while, toured the American Southwest and then came back to Boulder to plan TEDxBoulder. I spoke in front of 1750 people, then, with my backpack of things and no home, tried to figure out what to do next.
What a project this has been! Now 16 months of living out of my backpack later, I’m posting another update.
Over 600,000 views on the post about me only owning a few shirts.
I’m so confused by this. When we were growing up, didn’t we all have the goal of a huge house full of things? I found a far more quality life by rejecting things as a gauge of success.
This morning I had my iphonographer friend Adria Ellis take a picture of what I own today. Here it is:
The original items:
- Arc’teryx Miura 30 backpack (still the best bag I’ve ever owned and fits everything in the picture)
- NAU shirt
- Mammut rain jacket
- Arc’teryx tshirt
- Patagonia running shorts (for laundry and gym days)
- Quick Dry towel
- NAU wool jacket
- Toiletry kit
- Smith sunglasses
- Wallet (still use my $1 ‘fake’ wallet as my real thing)
- MacBook Air (lets me work anywhere in the world)
- iPhone 3GS
- NAU dress shirt (I’m wearing this one, you can see the elbows have worn through after 200 wears)
- Patagonia jeans
- Running shoes
So of my original ’15 things’ only 6 remain in my current ownership eight months later. I added stuff as I traveled and was given things or life could be made much easier by buying something. Core additions being:
- FiveTen Guide Tennie shoes
- Red Sox Hat (was given to me before a game)
- Patagonia Nano Puff hoody (the best technical piece of gear I’ve ever used, keeps me warm in the winter)
- Jack Spade laptop bag
- Electric Toothbrush
- Electric Razor
- Noise Canceling Headphones
- iPhone 4
Most notable additions are a bunch of cowboy stuff. I volunteered on a colorado dude ranch this summer and added some necessary items:
- Blue Western Shirt
- Red Western Shirt
- White Western Shirt
- Cowboy Hat
I don’t use these much in the winter, but will if I go back up to the ranch next summer. Nice to have some quirky things. I did speak at a conference, so I added a few nicer items:
- Nice Shoes
- Kimya Dawson Loves Me Socks
I should have just rented, but the process of trying on and buying a suit with three friends that knew all too well about the project was just too fun. I’m training for a big road ride this summer, the Triple Bypass. To do this I have:
- Bike Shorts
- Bike Jersey
- Bike Shoes
I will buy a bike to train on and for the ride. I have a few ‘could easily give away’ extras like
- Next Big Sound Shirt
- Laughing Squid Shirt
Finally I did some backpacking this year where I used
- Big Agnes Backpacking Tent
- Mamut Sleeping bag
- MSR whisperlight stove
- Water purifier
- Cooking pot
- Sleeping pad
- 4 pairs of underwear
- One pair wool sock
- A 2003 VW Golf that I had sold before my trip. In a long story, it came back to my ownership after I came back from NYC.
So as of today, there are 39 things to my name. Unlike the 15 things post I list out everything and didn’t lump together things like toiletry kits. This is just a project, not a manifesto. If you are bothered by it, as many are, look at what in your life has taught you to not look at the power of possibility and get it as far away from your life as possible. Dream. Plan a trip. Swim in the ocean. Climb a mountain and think to yourself just how the world is changing and how you are helping others out.
If we were really talking minimalism here, I could get rid of the car, camping gear, suit, shirts, biking jerseys, and western wear. Then I would be at 18 things. After 16 months, my 15 has really grown to 18.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
What are your thoughts? Could you do this? Is this solving any problem?

How do psychologists study what life means to people?
Psychologists don't study "The Meaning Of Life" (cue portentious music). Instead, we study meaning in life...as in the meaning you find in your life. We don't know any more than anyone else why life is the way it is; whether the universe came into being for any particular reason; or whether you, me, or the person down the street is here on Earth for any higher purpose.
What we look at is the meaning all of us create in our own lives. We've learned a lot about this meaning making we engage in, and in this column I will share with you some of the basics of what psychological science has revealed about living a meaningful life.
I have a tendency to unwillingly remember quasi-profound moments from mediocre movies. I'm not really sure where this uselessly persistent talent came from, but it is what it is. I remember one and only one thing about the movie "Revenge of the Nerds." The eponymous Nerds are pondering life's great mysteries late at night. For some reason, a football player named Ogre, not normally part of the Nerd Herd, is with the Nerds, absorbed in the infinite depths of a clear, starry night. The Nerds are discussing the conundrums and paradoxes of astrophysics and Ogre, not to be outdone, poses this stumper, "What if C-A-T spelled dog?" Such questions, aimed at probing the deep truth of Life's Mysteries, generally are not interesting to psychologists. Or rather, I should say that the ultimate answers to these questions are not what we study when we study meaning in life. We are interested in the way each of you comes up with your own answer. Where did the universe come from? Which will get us first, the sun going nova or a million-to-one asteroid? Why does pain and loss seem inevitable in life? Is there a God? What if C-A-T spelled dog?
Psychologists don't have any authoritative answers. We aren't philosophers or theologians. We did not get into our line of work because we are obsessed with answering these questions. Instead, we got into this line of work because we are fascinated by how people strive to answer these questions, and what the implications are of the types of answers they come up with.
What is the meaning of life? I don't know. But I do know that if you think that your life has meaning, you are much more likely to be happy, healthy, and enjoy your life. The way I know is that for over four decades, psychologists have been asking people like you questions like, "do you feel that your life has a purpose?" Then we compare people who say yes to questions like that to those who say no to such questions and see if there are any differences.
In this way, we can measure meaning in life, and we can also see if there are any advantages to feeling that your life is meaningful. If you're interested in seeing first-hand how we measure meaning in life, you can go to my webpage at: http://michael.f.steger.googlepages.com. Look for the link under the heading "Participate in Research."
Through the use of such measures in dozens of studies, it has become clear that one of the pivotal feats we accomplish as human beings is to take the millions of bits of information constantly swarming around us and pull from them some coherent and interpretable reality. When that reality is seen as making sense, and our own small existence seems to have a point and matter in some way, then our lives feel meaningful, and we are on the road to flourishing.
So the real quesion is, What is the Meaning of Your Life?

Pearl Jam. Was. F*cking. Awesome. !.
Oh my god. Oh. My. God. Ohmygod! Wow that was such a great show! I must've missed about one song at the end (of all songs, Alive) because we had to catch our train but ... MAN! I so wished to have been down on the floor instead of on the rafters. But... I don't care! It was awesome!
They went on for 3 to 4 minutes during an intermezzo whilst playing Even Flow. Everybody sang along with er... Why Go I think. At the end everybody was singing along and standing up on the rafters.
I even got myself a tour t-shirt
Oh and the best surprise? Vedder coming on stage with a Bush mask and a glitter jacket singing Bushleaguer. He headbutted the mask and then apologised for the violence lol Well. It was just überfantabulous. I cannot wait to see them again but it might be another 6 years.
Ok. I'm off. Gonna get my new roster for school. Then I can phone the delivery company of my new washingmachine/driercombo-apparatusmajig. Because I got a ring this morning that the delivery had to be rescheduled due to the driver of the truck being sick. Okay. No problems. But I have _no_ idea when time will be on my hand again.
I support all initiatives against rippers and pirates stealing people's hard work.

This mode is used when a conjunct clause talks about completed events that occurred prior to the time frame of the main clause.
The PV (eenda-) ‘when’ is often used to introduce these types of sub-phrases. In the context of the changed subjunctive conjunct (eenda-) ‘when’ can be thought of as having the meaning of ‘back when’ or ‘after’ and it is also used to indicate ‘where’.
“When I turned three, my Mom started working again.”
Sometimes éenda- is not used, but the meaning of ‘where’ is still implied.
Most often this mode is used for past events that occurred prior to another past event. It may be used however for future events that precede another future event.
“When his mother arrives, he will take her to the store.”
The ‘’Changed Subjunctive’‘ conjunct mode uses initial change and (-e) is added after the appropriate conjunct suffix from the (-an) set of suffixes.
Éenda-kawiite, móxa longwaam.
When he slept, he used to dream alot.
Sháa éenda-miitsíite shaa liitéeha, “nu wíingan”.
Right away when he ate right away he thought, “that tasted good”.
Éenda-óxkweew-manihláate kwíis’sal áhwi-lpakw.
When the woman died her son cried very much.
maníhleew vai he died
Nah weemáane nŭmáw-kúndka.
When I left from there I went dancing.
When (or after) I came you went to sleep.
vs changed conjunct:
You were sleeping when I came.
Nan peeyayáane ngáta-míitsi.
When I got there I wanted to eat.
(peeyayáane is the changed subjunctive conjunct form of the verb (péew). In this case (éenda) is omitted so initial change is irregularly inserted into the stem (paa) => (peeyay + conjunct endings)
When My Uncle Was Bewitched
by Ethyl Peters transcribed by Dr.John O’Meara
Nguk wiinamalsuw éenda-ngwútaash-txii-kătumáane.
My mother got sick when I was six.
eenda- PV when,where + conj
txu-katum he is … years of age
When he was three he started to walk.
‘You bandaged it up where he got hurt.’
wulámbtoow vti2 tie s.t. up properly, tie s.t. up well
(Reference John O’Meara Munsee Delaware Dictionary)
‘changed conjunct’ with éenda- tends to indicate simultaneity
‘changed subjunctive conjunct’ with éenda- indicates temporal precedence of the sub-clause
(Reference Ives Goddard Delaware Verbal Morphology)
Kiish- pv completed action
I left after I waited awhile
Preferred word order follows the same pattern as locatives, the secondary clause tends to be stated first.

I just stayed 5 nights at Alpine House and I have to say was a little disappointed with the place(though the nearby parks were wonderful). The location is excellent on the edge of Jackson and 10 minutes from Grand Tetons NP. I stayed in a Queen room which was small but clean. There is a tremendous amount of noise around the lodge all day long. My main complaint was the service. Most of the staff looked unhappy and tired. It is quite impersonal. Most importantly, visitors' happiness is not high on their list of priorities. The woman at the front desk who checked me in was less than friendly. The maid left one bar of soap to be shuttled between shower and sink and didn't replenish it when it ran out. She also left the door open after cleaning the room one day so that anyone would have been able to walk into the room. Luckily I didn't leave anything valuable in the room. The check in is at 4pm but they kick you out at 11am. Don't even bother to ask for a later check out like at noon when most places have check out. All in all I would find somewhere else to stay so you can truly enjoy the national parks.

International Workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling Abstract
Pp. 712 of the Proceedings
MobiNet: A Scalable Emulation Infrastructure for Ad hoc and Wireless
Priya Mahadevan, University of California, San Diego; Adolfo Rodriguez, IBM and Duke University; David Becker, Duke University; Amin Vahdat, University of California, San Diego
The current state of the art in evaluating applications and
communication protocols for ad hoc wireless networks involves either
simulation or small-scale live deployment. While larger-scale
deployment has been performed, it is typically costly and difficult to
run under controlled circumstances. Simulation allows researchers to vary system configurations such as MAC layers and routing protocols. However, it requires the duplication of
application, operating system, and network behavior within the
simulator. While simulation and live deployment will clearly
continue to play important roles in the design and evaluation of
mobile systems, we present MobiNet, a third point in this
space. In MobiNet, the communication of unmodified applications running on
stock operating systems is subject to the real-time emulation of a
user-specified wireless network environment. MobiNet utilizes a cluster of emulator nodes to appropriately
delay, drop or deliver packets in a hop by hop fashion based on MAC-layer protocols, ad hoc routing protocols, congestion, queuing, and available bandwidth in the network. MobiNet infrastructure is extensible, facilitating the
development and evaluation of new MAC layers, routing protocols,
mobility and traffic models. Our evaluations show that MobiNet emulation is
scalable and accurate while executing real code, including video

A Lucky Life Interrupted, a memoir of Hope by Tom Brokaw
Have followed this news journal reporter for many years and like how he tells the news and his stories.
Follows his story of his life, back pain and his medical conditions. Love how he started the journal and love the little things that kept him going. so good to laugh.
So many have crossed his path and he tells you of them and his treatment plan along with all his travel and awards he earned.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Truthout, whose ace reporter, Jason Leopold, on May 12 (AD 2006) informed us that found Karl Rove's indictment under a seal. Please keep in mind that this is the same Jason Leopold who had a story retracted by Salon (and was summarily fired), had a book canceled just days before release by his publisher (ex-publisher) and, in his own words,
engaged in "lying, cheating and backstabbing," is a former cocaine addict, served time for grand larceny, repeatedly tried to kill himself and has battled mental illness his whole life.
Jason Leopold's seal with indictment beneath.
And, from the usual suspects:

Prevention and Maintenance Tips for Kohler 24 hp Engines
We all know that prevention is better than cure, and this adage holds true for maintaining your Kohler 24 hp engine as well. With our years of experience in the lawn care industry, we have found that taking proactive steps can save you from frustrating engine problems down the line. So, let’s dive into some valuable tips to keep your Kohler 24 hp engine running smoothly and efficiently.
Regular Oil Changes: The Lifeblood of Your Engine
We have discovered from our extensive use of this product that regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining engine health. Just like our own bodies need fresh blood to thrive, your engine requires clean oil to perform at its best. Old, dirty oil can cause excessive wear and tear, leading to engine problems.
Ensure you follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals. Remember, investing a little time and effort in this simple task can save you from costly repairs later on.
Cleaning Air Filters: Let Your Engine Breathe Easy
Air filters play a vital role in keeping your engine clean and free from harmful debris. Over time, the filters get clogged, obstructing the airflow and impeding engine performance. We’ve witnessed firsthand how neglected air filters can lead to power loss and overheating issues.
Make it a habit to inspect and clean your air filters regularly. If they are clogged or damaged, replace them promptly. Your engine will thank you by running more efficiently and smoothly.
Spark Plug Inspection: Igniting Your Engine’s Inner Fire
The spark plug is like the beating heart of your engine, responsible for creating the sparks that ignite the fuel. Our findings show that a faulty or dirty spark plug can lead to starting problems and poor combustion, resulting in loss of power and increased fuel consumption.
Check your spark plugs periodically. If they appear worn out or coated in soot, it’s time to replace them. A small investment in new spark plugs can go a long way in keeping your engine firing on all cylinders.
Cooling System Maintenance: Prevent Hot-headed Engines
Overheating can turn a leisurely mowing session into a frustrating ordeal. We have encountered instances where neglected cooling systems caused engines to sputter and shut down.
Regularly check the coolant levels and make sure they are topped up according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Keep your engine’s cooling fins and radiator clean from debris to ensure optimal airflow. A well-cooled engine translates to smoother operation and extended engine life.
Fuel System Care: Keep Your Engine Running on Clean Fuel
Fuel-related issues can plague any engine, and Kohler 24 hp engines are no exception. We’ve seen cases where clogged fuel lines or contaminated fuel led to power loss and starting problems.
Take care to use clean, high-quality fuel and avoid excessive ethanol blends. Periodically inspect the fuel lines for any signs of blockage and clean them if necessary. Adding a fuel stabilizer can also help prevent fuel-related problems during periods of inactivity.
Regular Inspection of Key Components: Attention to Detail Matters
While we’ve covered some essential aspects of maintenance, it’s equally important to inspect other key components regularly. Check for loose fittings, damaged gaskets, or worn seals. Even a small oil leak or loose connection can escalate into significant engine problems if left unattended.
By paying attention to these details, you can catch and address potential issues early on, avoiding more extensive and costly repairs down the road.
Remember, maintenance is an ongoing process, just like nurturing a garden. By following these prevention and maintenance tips, you can ensure that your Kohler 24 hp engine continues to serve you faithfully for years to come.
Now, armed with this knowledge, go ahead and conquer your lawn care tasks with confidence!

My first time trying out Fair Isle knitting, that is pretty similar to Intarsia except the patterns used are smaller and recurring. This is an XO pattern for hugs & kisses. Before I start on a sweater, I thought it best to start off with fingerless gloves, using just 1 x black & 1 x variegated wool yarn per pair.
Cast on 40 strands (small pegs) for a medium sized person, I used my mom and dad as gauge. I made 2 sets because I wanted to see the variegated yarn as main colour (MC) and as contrasting colour (CC). For more complex visuals, knitters will use 2 sets of variegated yarns as MC & CC.

Ah, just when we started slowing down on cocktail posts, it’s Mixology Monday again. Just another excuse to keep mixing drinks. Such is life…..and life is good.
This month, the theme comes from Thiago of the excellent Bartending Notes blog. Here it is:
Let’s bring the king of fruits back! After being canned, mixed with all sorts of sugary liquids and blended into… some 80s dreadful cocktails, the pineapple needs more respect! Once a symbol of hospitality, the King of Fruits might be know misunderstood. One of the greatest non-citrus souring agents, used for crazy garnish ideas, infusions, old gum syrup flavoring, the pineapple is a fruit to be reckoned. Be in a tiki cocktails, an old school classic like the Algonquin, a crazy flavor pairing or just mixed in a delicious Verdita, get creative and make a cocktail using any part of this delicious, juicy fruit or share you favorite pineapple cocktail with us!
Pineapple, a perfect choice for some of the longest (and hopefully the laziest) days of the year. And as happy tiki drinkers, we enjoy plenty of pineapple here at the farm (also great in dessert- see here). And we just happened to have a pineapple cocktail we wanted to check out.
Normally we get a bit “experimental” for Mixology Monday, but we recently read about a pineapple cocktail called the El Presidente and put it on our list of cocktails to try. Funny thing, normally an “El Presidente” refers to a rum-based martini variant, and it is something of a classic. But we also found references to this other “El Presidente”, basically a daiquiri with pineapple juice and grenadine replacing sugar. A decent drink, with a bit more complexity and that nice foamy texture from the pineapple, but one that could be tweaked a bit.
For the Nuevo Presidente, we chose an aged rum (we used El Dorado 5 Year, but use an aged rum you like) with some funk to add more flavor. Pineapple loves darker rum, so that was an easy fix. The other change we made was replacing the grenadine, which doesn’t do much in the original. We tried different bitters, Chambord and crème de cassis to add some kick and depth. And in the end a few dashes of cassis added to the completed cocktail was the clear winner. The cassis sinks to the bottom of the drink and adds a layer of color, while offering a distinct deep berry bite to the last sip. A nice touch and a very good way to riff on a daiquiri. This is an easy drink to make and enjoy, and it will appear a few more times this summer at the farm.
The Nuevo Presidente:
- 2 oz. aged rum (El Dorado 5 Year Old)
- 1/2 oz. pineapple juice
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- 3 – 4 dashes crème de cassis
- Add the rum, pineapple juice and lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until chilled and double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass, coupé or flute. Add the crème de cassis to the drink and let it settle to the bottom of the glass. Serve.

Follow shellfish warnings and save lives
Wednesday 19 December, 2012
People are risking their lives when they take and eat shellfish from areas where warnings are in place, the Ministry for Primary Industry (MPI) warns.
With algal blooms occurring on both coasts of the North Island causing some shellfish to become poisonous, MPI Principal Adviser Animal Products Jim Sim says it is vital that people heed warnings.
“We have already seen people in the Bay of Plenty admitted to intensive care after eating shellfish contaminated with paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins, and if toxin levels rise much further we could be looking at fatalities,” Mr Sim says.
Marine toxins are heat stable so cooking contaminated shellfish will not remove them.
“Unfortunately shellfish can be toxic for many months and this is a particular problem for tuatua,” Mr Sim says.
MPI manages a monitoring programme which includes weekly testing of shellfish and seawater from around New Zealand to ensure they are not contaminated with biotoxin from algae blooms.
When biotoxins rise to unsafe levels, public warnings are issued for recreational shellfish harvesting areas via MPI and public health unit websites, and through media statements. Where practicable, warning signs are also placed on beaches and boat ramps.
“It’s impossible to tell from looking at the shellfish which is toxic and which is not, so when warnings go out people need to take note and act accordingly,” Mr Sim says.
He emphasises that New Zealand’s commercially harvested shellfish are safe to eat.
“A comprehensive marine biotoxin monitoring programme is in place to ensure commercial operators don’t harvest from areas affected by toxic blooms. This summer’s poisoning cases have all been the result of recreational catch from areas already subject to warnings.”
Consuming shellfish contaminated with paralytic shellfish toxin can cause numbness and tingling around the mouth, face or extremities; difficulty swallowing or breathing; dizziness; double vision; and – in severe cases – paralysis and respiratory failure.
These symptoms usually occur within 12 hours of a person consuming affected shellfish, and symptoms may progress rapidly causing respiratory failure within two hours.
Anyone suffering illness after eating shellfish should seek urgent medical attention, and keep any leftover shellfish for testing.
Marine biotoxin alerts are notified on MPI’s website:

I don’t usually use this blog to promote campaigns and petitions, but I think that this one is important enough to make an exception. On the 6th of May, European Union commissioners will be considering a new law which would make the sale or even the free distribution of unregistered varieties of seeds illegal. There would be a process for registering ‘old’ varieties cheaply, but this would still mean that the whole field of breeding locally-adapted varieties and unusual crops by amateur and small-scale local breeders would be outlawed. Forest gardening would be effectively nipped in the bud.
The Commission is divided on this, with the directorate of consumer affairs proposing the law and the directorates of agriculture and the environment against it, so national commissioners will decide the vote and there is a real chance to swing it. There is more detail on the Real Seeds Catalogue’s website.
Please write to your national commissioner, who is Baroness Ashton in the UK. Her email address is email@example.com. I’ve included the text of the email that I sent below. For other countries, the list of commissioners is at http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/index_en.htm. Commissioners’ emails all take the form of firstname.lastname@example.org
If you don’t have time to write, there are two petitions that you can sign on the Real Seeds page, but a clear, brief and polite personal email counts for a lot more than a petition signature. It needn’t take long: in fact short, clear and to-the-point is much better.
Dear Baroness Ashton
I am writing to ask you to vote against the new law on the sale and distribution of seeds proposed by DG SANCO when it comes up for your consideration on the 6th of May.
As I understand it, the law will ban the sale or distribution of unregistered varieties of seeds within the EU, with provisions for the cheaper registration of traditional varieties which are currently commonly traded. This will mean that plant breeding will become the sole preserve of companies rich enough to afford such registration. It will outlaw the huge amount of activity that currently goes on breeding locally-adapted varieties of a wide range of plants by amateurs and small-scale local producers. This activity has considerable economic and biodiversity significance, but perhaps even greater cultural significance.
In my case, I am involved in selecting seed of local wild species for use in forest gardening, an increasingly popular method of growing food in which shade-tolerant food crops are grown under fruit trees and bushes. Many of these species are only available in their wild form and would benefit from selection to improve their characteristics. An example would be sweet cicely, which produces an aniseed-flavoured root related to parsnip and which I am selecting for larger and straighter roots. I currently mostly give away seed but hope to sell some in the future. Both of these options would be outlawed by the proposed law.
It is difficult to see how this law would benefit anyone except for the seed companies which will gain an effective monopoly. It is surely significant that it is being proposed by the directorate for consumer affairs while being opposed by the directorates for agriculture and the environment.
UPDATE. In a very welcome development, on the 30th of January 2014 the EU’s Environment Committee voted unanimously to reject the seed law in its entirety, sending it back to the European Commission to be redrawn from scratch. This does mean that it will be back in some form or other, so the campaign is not over, but for now it is a major victory.

Lean Integration Description
"Lean Integration is an excellent resource for anyone struggling with the challenges of performing integration for a complex enterprise."
—Steve J. Dennis, Integration Competency Center Director, Nike
Use Lean Techniques to Integrate Enterprise Systems Faster, with Far Less Cost and Risk
By some estimates, 40 percent of IT budgets are devoted to integration. However, most organizations still attack integration on a "project-by-project" basis, causing unnecessary expense, waste, risk, and delay. They struggle with integration "hairballs": complex point-to-point information exchanges that are expensive to maintain, difficult to change, and unpredictable in operation.
The solution is Lean Integration. This book demonstrates how to use proven "lean" techniques to take control over the entire integration process. John Schmidt and David Lyle show how to establish "integration factories," which leverage the powerful benefits of repeatability and continuous improvement across every integration project you undertake.
Drawing on their immense personal experience, Schmidt and Lyle bring together best practices; solid management principles; and specific, measurable actions for streamlining integration development and maintenance. They offer practical insights on challenges ranging from team empowerment to process automation, as well as realistic guidance for managing everything from finance to metadata.
Treating integration as a business strategy, and implementing management disciplines that systematically address its people, process, policy and technology dimensions
Providing maximum business flexibility and supporting rapid change without compromising stability, quality, control, or efficiency
Delivering what's needed and eliminating the "gold plating" that delays many projects
Using value stream mapping and metrics to "optimize the whole, not just the parts"
Automating processes so you can deliver faster – and avoiding the pitfalls of automation
Building in both data and integration quality up-front
In-depth case studies: how real organizations are applying Lean Integration practices—and the lessons they've learned
Whether you're an IT manager, project leader, architect, analyst, or developer, this book will help you systematically improve the way you integrate—adding value that is both substantial and sustainable.
Deliverable Countries: This product delivers to United Arab Emirates, Australia, Belgium, Bahrain, Canada, Switzerland, China, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, United States, South Africa.

ImgChili - with a chili logo! It's a spicy adult image hosting, I guess. You got to be spicy to allow all sorts of facials on your hosting servers and to not delete them. Cause, as a collector, you probably know that it's pretty hard to find a hosting that allows porn on its pages and you probably already lost content due to deletion. ImgChili.net is not one of those places, since they like and they accept adult entertainment, as much as possible. Do you have a ton of porn? They will allow you to upload it here!
Let me tell you how they count the traffic and other conditions! Unique IPs will be counted once per 24 hours. The minimum payout amount is now 5 dollars. They pay every Wednesday. All your images will be stored indefinitely. Last, but not least, they support many methods of payment.
I have to be honest with you! They have one great hosting service and you will get a wonderful deal regarding the traffic based payouts! Still, in the end, if you won't make money, at least you will have a place to store your adult pics collection. Click on the screenshot!

We lived between nappies and traffic jams, mobile phones, and a small stretch of green we called our own, which we rarely saw in the daylight. We reminded each other of garbage collection schedules, the child carers’ names, and which jabs Mia had had. We attended dinner parties, pulling threads from our clothing, pushing our hair into place, smelling of the contents of bottles that still line our bathroom cabinet, and wondering if this was really how we wanted to spend our free time.
And we were still, there was no doubting it, the privileged.
Christy Collins‘ Viva La Novella winner The End of Seeing is just 190 pages long but it took me an eternity to read. It is so beautiful and so, so painful that I had to take it in small doses. Read a few short passages, put it down, shake my head to clear the lump in my throat, and return to the sunlight for a moment.
The protagonist, Ana, is grieving. She is grieving the loss of her daughter Mia and on its heels the disappearance of her partner Nick. Her family and friends tell her to give up waiting. They bury an empty coffin. And she goes home to the empty house in the suburbs they moved to to give Mia some space, desperate for a life that had room for them, though it was never the life they planned.
Nick was drowned, it is assumed, when a leaky boat full of asylum seekers went down in the Mediterranean. Ana cannot let go of this end, she cannot believe he was on that boat. She goes to Europe to follow him, she has print outs of his black and white images, and traces the trail of his last photojournalism assignment. The big one. The one that meant something. And the one that eventually got Nick disappeared.
From the shores of the Mediterranean to the hotel laundries, brothels and cramped apartments, this is a story of a flood of people with nowhere to go, with no hope, with nothing but a series of bad options. And it’s about the forces that would rather their stories weren’t told. Ana’s grief is tangible, it leaps off the page and threatens to crush you, it grows from the singular grief for two lost loved ones, to a wide ranging grief for the world, for the life she leads, for the lives of others who are lost, lost, lost. I wanted to write to Collins after I finished this book, which took me nearly a month to read, rather than the half hour its length suggests. I wanted to say “Christy, you hurt me. And it was just what I needed. It was perfect.”
It’s not just an emotional punch lurking within these pages. This is a novella that seems important in a global, the time is now, kind of way. But it’s a painting, a sonnet, not a protest march. Or perhaps it’s both. Please read this.
The End of Seeing, Christy Collins: five stars.
Read it because: it might change you forever.

We’ve done a roundup of The 5 Top Cambridge Venues and the best team building activities to host them in!
Cambridge is without a doubt one of the best places in the UK to host events. It is well connected to London, has an absolutely wealth of amazing venues to choose from as well as being seeped in history.
A little gem in the middle of Cambridge. Often described as the oldest of the new colleges and newest of the old! This venue has some great outside space, something of a rarity in Cambridge town centre. This space is very versatile and is just perfect for our Crystal Challenge.
The indoor event space work well and can cater for numbers up to 100 to 160 depending on the layout, this is just perfect for either our awarding winning activity The Killing or perhaps VR Team Building , where the teams can make use of the beautiful back drop.
This is one of the new “kids on the block” for Cambridge venues – perfectly placed for guests travelling up from London as next door to the railway station.
It has a lovely courtyard just perfect for a drinks reception especially for delegates who want to take part in an outdoor cocktail making activity!
The Garden Room give a beautiful backdrop to any event, our personal favourite would be Bake That! All the excitement of the tv show, without the cameras or Noel Fielding!
The event space is lovely, it can cater for groups up to 144 depending on the layout but equally for small and intimate team events, our activity The Detective Experience is fantastic, giving the delegates a chance to get out and about around Cambridge, see the local area and solve the crime!
Why is this one a favourite with the team at Right Angle? There are quite a few reasons!
It’s situated about a 5 minute walk from the centre of Cambridge and 15 min walk from the train station, very easy to find. It’s a beautiful Grade II listed building and has lots of nooks and crannies!
A venue perfect for smaller teams with 2 event rooms, The Lombard suitable for up to 24 delegates and The Common Room, perfect for up to 8 delegates. Our suggested activities for this venue would be A No Ordinary quiz which is exactly that! Great fun and a brilliant activity for smaller teams.
The other activity we would thoroughly recommend would be a Crime and Dine – a CSI team building activity held over dinner!
This venue has a complete gem of a room – The Great Hall – especially if you fancy a “Hogwarts” type of event!
This is an American, Gothic style and still has the medieval feel too. This room can cater for up to 260 delegates depending on the layout. Just perfect for a themed dinner.
The other plus for this room, it has its own bar for functions and parties, so you don’t have to worry about your guest wondering off! The other event spaces are very versatile and have all the modern up to date technology needed for today’s meetings.
The outside space is huge and lends its self perfectly for our activity The Bodyguard!
This is a lovely modern conference facility and with some great and HUGE outside space too
It has meeting rooms that can cater for groups from 2 to 140 and has 92 4 star en suite bedrooms too.
The outside space is just perfect for a brilliant and lively it’s a Knockout type of event, where you need lots of space for the teams. Another favourite for the Right Angle team would be our Multi-Activity Team Event to include Archery and Laser Clays for instance. We have had clients complete a Duck herding challenge too!
We absolutely love running events in Cambridge! If the above venues aren’t quite what you are looking for, then feel free to contact us. We offer a venue finding service and can look at lots of other options.Check Out Other Blogs

We’ve seen interrogation videos and photos of accused killer Jodi Arias. Now, it appears she’s involved in another visual medium.
The aspiring photographer turned murder defendant has now turned to eBay.com. A seller identified by the username “0817soldierofochrist” is selling colored pencil drawings claiming to be created by Arias.
One drawing titled “Grace Kelly” has attracted bids of at least $300, while another titled “Pisces” has reached nearly $350.
In the seller’s notes section, it reads “Jodi thanks everyone that has helped out during these tough times. Please continue to pray for her family and for Travis’ family.”
Arias faces the death penalty for the murder of her former lover, Travis Alexander. His body was found inside his Mesa home in June 2008, with nearly 30 stab wounds, a gunshot wound to the head and a slit throat. Arias is claiming she killed him in self-defense.

Color D-90 Review by BossFHockey
The feel on the ball with this stick was fantastic. You could feel the ball moving about on the end of the stick as you dragged from left to right or lifted the ball over a flat stick, this feel on the ball gives you alot of confidence when using close skills in a 1 on 1 situation. The head shape means it easy to perform tight spins and sharpe turns.
Hitting is probably where this stick falls a little short. The stick has a good sized sweet spot and with a clean hit you can generate a very good level of power. Because of the bow it is very easy to lift the ball when hitting,this is excellent when shooting at goal as you can easily put the ball into a top corner, but also makes it very easy to get under the ball when playing passes to team mates.
Slap hitting was also very nice with this stick. You can easily put a good level of power onto the ball sending it to straight to where you are aiming. If you can get the ball to roll down the grooved shaft of the stick you can get a little extra oomph onto your passes and also add alot of disguise to the pass. But if you connect with the wrong part of the stick, specifically the groove in the shaft then it is very very easy to lift the ball accidentally.
This stick really shines for flicking. The low bow and grooved shaft allows you to really whip through the ball and fling the ball into the corners. If you can get the ball into the groove the extra oomph is really noticeable. You can easily launch the ball into the roof of the net, if you don't concentrate you can also fire the ball height or wide with the added power, but once you have it reigned in you can easily fire the ball into the corners.
Using the stick I was also able to lift over a stick to a team mate with ease. Controlling the ball's pace was something that you need to be aware of as it's easy to put a little too much on the ball.
The reverse edge of this stick is not the thickest, but when you connect properly with a good technique you can really ping the ball into the goal. You can easily control the ball height when hitting a tomahawk shot, with a minor rotation of of the wrist you can put the ball completely flat to the ground or raise the ball into the netting. With bad technique it is very easy to lift the ball accidentally so getting the right technique is vital.
It is one of the sticks strongest areas. As mentioned already this stick has a low bow and a groove in the shaft, which combined makes it really easy to put alot of power into dragflicking and pick where you want to put the ball. If you get the ball to roll right from the groove to the head you get a satisfying sound and the ball shoots away towards the goal at amazing speed. It's also really easy to keep the ball flat and smooth to the deck for deflections on penalty corners but also easy to launch the ball into the roof of the net.
Aerialling the ball with this stick is simple with the low bow. You can get under the ball and chuck the it 25 yards to a team mates stick. If you can get the ball into the groove the additional power will help you put the ball further down field with what feels like the same amount of effort.
If close skills and flicking are the main elements of your game then this is definitely a stick worth looking into, it is great value and really nice to use
I would always recommend trying a stick your self if possible before buying so get in touch with exclusive hockey to see when and where you can give this stick at go.

Regarding the Fountain
Told completely in correspondence, Regarding the Fountain is the tale of how something as simple as a drinking fountain can quickly catapult into something extreme. The principle of Dry Creek Middle School tries to commission Florence Waters to give an estimate for a new drinking fountain—a simple one. What is unleashed is a fury of imaginative requests from an aquarium to chocolate milk shakes request by Sam N.’s fifth grade class (since their class is the one next to the drinking fountain).
Included in the tale of the fountain is the mystery surrounding the town’s history and the creek that has dried up prompting the town to change its name from Spring Creek to Dry Creek. Told, or should I say written, from the viewpoint of the principle, the administrative assistant, Florence Waters, Sam N. and his fifth grade class, the school board president, the head of the water company and more is the outrageous tale and mystery regarding the fountain and the town of Dry Creek itself.
This is a fun, fast read. It seemed a bit outrageous at times but it is completely the point. To a young reader, I can understand why they would enjoy it because who, after all, has not let their imagination run wild when thinking about reinventing something as “ordinary” as a drinking fountain. As Kerry pointed out to me, make sure you pay close attention to the all the names. They have something in common.

Google is rolling out a ton of new features to its products today at I/O, and for Google Assistant, we’re getting the reveal of a few new voices, including a celebrity guest.
On stage at I/O, Google reminds us that the original voice for Assistant is called “Holly.” Using the same technology that made Holly’s voice possible, WaveNet, Google is bringing 6 brand new voices to Google Assistant. Each of these voices sound unique, but they’re all natural (we’ll update the article later with a demo).
Along with the six new voices, Google has worked with John Legend to bring his voice to Google Assistant. You won’t be able to use Legend’s voice in all interactions, but it will show up in “certain contexts.” Currently, it’s not clear when these new voices will go live, but they will work on multiple Assistant platforms.
One of the most important parts of the Assistant is its voice—it needs to feel both personal and natural. Up until now, creating a new voice took hundreds of hours in a recording studio. But with advancements in AI and WaveNet technology from DeepMind, we can now create new voices in just a few weeks and are able to capture subtleties like pitch, pace, and all the pauses that convey meaning, so that voices are natural-sounding and unique. Starting today, you can choose from six new voices for your Google Assistant. And John Legend will lend his melodic tones to the Assistant later this year—who wouldn’t want him wishing you A Good Night?

If you are overweight, losing that weight is essential if you want a healthy and long life. There are a number of places that can give you in losing weight. The tips from this article can help you reach your way.
If you are eating out but are trying to watch your weight, be careful about who you go out with. Research shows that women and men both eat less when they are eating with a man. The explanation for this is still being researched, it's something to keep in mind when contemplating a night out with your girlfriends.
If you cut down on the amount of food you eat and drink at least half a gallon of water a day for a week, you start to lose water weight. This is only temporary weight loss, but is a quick way to get the first five pounds off and quick-start your weight loss program.
Finding a workout partner will assist you motivated.
Keep healthy snacks handy. Buy a large resealable container.Prepare your veggies, fill the bottom of the container with ice and a small amount of water and store the vegetables in the refrigerator. You will always have a healthy snack on hand which is easy to grab and go!
Eating breakfast is essential if you want to lose weight and staying in shape. It shouldn't need to be said, but many people think that skipping breakfast can save on calories. It may save some calories, but not eating anything in the morning can cause intense cravings at lunch time. You might end up running to the vending machine before lunch even hits because you want to avoid.
It is all to easy to let your commitment to regular exercise slip away unless you give yourself a specific time for your daily exercise. Figure out when you're able to exercise and stick to that schedule.
This can help you reflect on your progress and makes you more confident. It helps keep you motivated to stay at the size or lose more.
Some people do not want to cut back on butter or using a butter substitute. Some people prefer how real butter taste. You don't have to totally eliminate butter to lose weight.All you need to do is use whipped butter instead.It contains 50% less calories.
Be sure to eat a substantial amount of healthy food before you go to an event where you will be tempted by party food. This should prevent you from giving in to the often offered at a party. You may also want to have some wine rather than drinking beer or other mixed-drinks.
Eat oatmeal for breakfast.Oatmeal has many benefits for dieters because it is a meal that satisfies hunger long than most foods, and it is very high in fiber. You are sure to feel satisfied after eating oatmeal as well.
Use plastic bags and different kinds of containers to store the pre-measured food. Having the proper measurements that can just be grabbed from the fridge can make you less tempted to overeat.
Reducing salt intake is an excellent way to lose weight successfully. When you stop consuming salt, you will soon be able to taste the natural salt that food already has, too. All fast food is loaded with salt, so keep this out of your diet.
It is important that you understand food nutrition labels. A food that is fat-free is not necessarily healthy. Be sure to read all of the whole label to know what you are eating.
Don't approach your fork into a shovel. When eating, take moderate size bites until you are full and then stop. If you swallow your food quickly, you will probably overeat before you realize you are full. It can be easy to lose weight if you keep a few tips.
Share your decision to lose weight loss plans and decisions with everyone you know. You can go even further and blog to share your weight loss journey. This can help you stay with it because you don't want anyone to feel let down.
Boosting your health is essential to well-being, as previously stated. Stay motivated and continue keeping a positive focus. Keep searching for knowledge and use what you learn to better your life. You will get started the right way with these tips.

genesis p-orridge & stan bingo - What's History
Impeccable NY/LA imprint Dais continue their excavation of Genesis P-Orridge's archive with a release they describe as an "industrial classic ahead of its time". Originally released on Austrian tape label Nekrophile in '83, 'What's History' was actually recorded in '81, during the very months of Throbbing Gristle's first dissolution. Born out of improvisation in Gen's Hackney bedroom, and featuring Stan Bingo (aka director and TG documentarian Dan Landin), it's an interesting and absorbing if ultimately rather crude offering, recalling some of TG's tape collages and especially P-Orridge's early COUM transmissions (recently reissued by Dais) - all swarming serial killer drones, disarmingly pretty keyboard melodies and jagged, disorienting cut-ups (there are a couple of moments when you feel you could be listening to a Ghost Box release, funnily enough). The original cassette is a much sought-after collectors item, so save yourself half a grand and plump for this much-needed digital edition.

This fact, plus the recently discovered weakness in nuclear power plant parts made in Japan, is a strong argument against buying sensitive equipment from other countries. It's a national security issue.
Rods made in Japan are wearing thin after two years. This relates to another article I'm trying to find that said electronics made in China may have backdoors in them.
This doesn't explain why all the bank ATM machines in my area weren't working Thursday evening, however, since the breach was back in January/February. It made me wonder if bank closures/shutdowns had started. Might be a good idea to keep cash at home, just in case.

Skepticism, This is our tool to bring forth the facts of any given Answer. Because something stated as a fact is not always a fact. This has created this behavior. But what most people believe is skepticism is actually skepticism mixed with judgment. When we put judgment out in the open we all know its wrong.

The U.S. is facing a shortage of at least 75,000 truck drivers. GTCC has introduced an 8-week CDL course to fill this need and connect Guilford County residents with secure employment and meaningful career opportunities. Interest in the program has grown, especially due to pandemic-related job layoffs and an increased demand for logistics services.
To support the launch of the new program, Reuben Rink helped create a marketing mix of traditional advertising (including “mobile billboards” – custom-branded truck wraps designed for the program’s vehicle fleet), a comprehensive public relations campaign, and digital ad lead-generation efforts. The result was increased interest and awareness in the new course offering and the college as well as a jump-start on initial program enrollment.

£8 + £2.50 p&p
Available from Amazon.co.uk
Recommended for: those wanting something a bit more thoughtful to do with exotic societies.
Most exciting moment: running away from the Obini – an uncontacted people who turn out to be at war with his guides. And the eve of the dreaded crocodile initiation ceremony.
Benedict's comment: my second book, and something of a counterbalance to the first. My first independent journey – to the Orinoco and Amazon (the story told in Mad White Giant) – having ended up with me alone and desperate in the rain forest, even having to eat my dog to survive, I now wanted to come to terms with the forest that had almost killed me. I set about out attempting to immerse myself among various indigenous peoples in New Guinea – I had no appetite to return to the Amazon after the trauma there – but in fact ended up facing situations which were almost as equally worrying! I now think that the initiation ceremony was as harsh as any on the planet – though didn't know all it entailed beforehand, perhaps fortunately... But by now my "philosophy" of travelling was clear to me. I had gone on my first journey without backup largely out of necessity – I had no money. But now I saw that this approach – to leave modern equipment and companions at home – as valuable in its own right. If you call yourself an explorer, you should be pushing frontiers, and as I was not a scientist, these frontiers must be about immersing yourself thoroughly in little understood or unknown worlds, and then reporting back. Freud would perhaps have called this the banishing of "ego," as you try to lose some of yourself (and cultural baggage), and embrace different values. The second in the quartet, it was written as a quieter, much more studied book than Mad White Giant.

issues with Panda genset
Hello Mr. Douglas,
My name is Dick Taylor
I could sure use your guidance.
I am on my fourth Catalina sailboat and have enjoyed them all.
I have an issue with this one and would appreciate your sending me in the right direction for assistance.
I bought Catalina 400 #309 in Annapolis in July 2007 from the original owner.
The engine had 149.4 hours and the Panda 4200 had 26.7 hours Due to our Lake Texoma being flooded I wasn't able to bring the boat to Texas and commission her until early September of 2007.
In June this year the Generator failed. It has 112 hrs.
There is no one on our lake certified on these generators.
I called Panda and after talking to the technical dept. starting chasing fuel problems. After a series of tracing fuel lines, changing filters, changing fuel pump, etc; it turns out to be the governor has backed out.
I have a very experienced Catalina person working with me " Greg Rentfro".
We had talked back and forth with the tech. dept at Panda all day and did not seam to be getting anywhere. I called for the sales dept. and talked to a gentleman named Jeff to see if there were any exchange units available or if there was anything he could do. He said there were no exchange units but that he could probably sell me a new unit for $8000.00.
Greg, then spoke to a gentleman at Farymann and was told that there had been a few instances but rare that this has happened. It requires an engine breakdown to repair.
I know that the boat is out of warranty but I would surely think 112 hours on a generator is barely broken in.
I would hope that Panda might assist but have no idea who to talk to.
BY the way, I had a Catalina 22 # 12469 new and raced spinnaker div. a few years.
The Catalina 34 #13 from the original owner.
A very good fiend of mine still has her.
Then I cruised on a Hinckley 42 for a few years and sold her.
Next was a Catalina 36 #1957 from original owner And now the 400. She is a very nice boat.

Spring/summer 2016 campaign film by Zalando X A$AP Rocky. An artistry collab — The Remix Show, held at the Heritage Club where fashion meets music in the heart of Berlin.
pretty Flacko is the face of the new campaign and invites four women to his surreal hotel, which will eventually begin remixing their outfits. And what cliché would fit a rapper better than models? That is why the mob consists of Jourdan Dunn , Andreea Diaconu , Kris Gottschalk and Julia Nobis as cameos through the clip. Shot in Los Angeles under the direction of the New York director Gordon von Steiner making its worldwide debut on the 19th of February.
After the slick presentation, rapper and visual artist Tommy Genesis came out to kill the stage. Like any noticeable contemporary artist, the self named fetish queen noticed by other Instagram savvy users such as Keith Space Bar and Father which segued to her becoming the newest addition to Atlanta based label, Awful Records. With her honestly perverse lyrics she has attracted some online attention as being one to watch. Born and bred in Vancouver to a South Indian father and Scandinavian mother, her style comes across in everything she achieves; from the delivery of her often-explicit lyrics to the way she dresses. Take a look above at the scenery pics we took, including other acts — Hannah Faith and Igor Botur sets.

Three weeks have now almost passed since Liverpool last kicked a ball and their chances of kicking one again anytime soon seem unlikely.
It is now over almost a fortnight ago since the Premier League season was suspended due to COVID-19, but an extension is now likely with health experts warning the worst of the virus is yet to hit the UK.
Despite the lack of on-field action, the team at Liverpool.com remain dedicated to bringing you all of the very latest news and analysis from Anfield.
Here is a round-up of the very latest news and views, courtesy of the Liverpool.com team.
Salah mayhem defined Liverpool season
“For weeks, in some cases months, we all had to endure other fans crying it in and telling us the league was over and the first title in 30 years would come to Anfield. Yet even up until the point the Reds were requiring two wins to seal the crown, we refused to rule anything out until it was done.”
Those are the words of Dan Morgan who has been reflecting on the day that Liverpool finally let go and had everyone believing, but his irrationalities have since been proven right.
How to resume the Premier League season
In the third part of our series, Guy Clarke takes a look at what Liverpool and the Premier League can do to finish the campaign.
Guy believes if Liverpool become ideal champions, they might need Steven Gerrard's help to defend with integrity.
“Self-interest naturally shapes viewpoints on how the season should be concluded, but there's an important moral distinction to make.”
Those are the words of Joel Rabinowitz who believes with Liverpool's Premier League title fate still unclear, their rivals are holding wildly contrasting agendas.

BtrFS is considered a "technology preview" in RHEL 7, haven't checked on the latest Suse Enterprise yet. Yes, BtrFS is a bad joke compared to ZFS, but the OpenZFS project has made great strides and the 0.6.3 release has eliminated most of the SPL memory fragmentation problems. I have not tried Docker so I don't know if it is "shite". I do expect something that is just released to less mature than something that has
been around for almost a decade. However, if history is any indication, in a few years Docker will have around 60-80% of the features and reliability of the Solaris equivalent, and cost a helluva less than Oracle Solaris running on Oracle hardware.

[horde] The Elusive DIMP!
Michael M Slusarz
slusarz at horde.org
Mon Oct 16 08:16:57 PDT 2006
Quoting Nick Cole <nick at cole2.com>:
> In which case, I'm not seeing DIMP. I've just reinstalled head
> snapshots of imp and dimp (imp-HEAD-2006-10-16.tar.gz and
> dimp-HEAD-2006-10-16.tar.gz) under head of horde, but no luck. When

> login page, followed by the imp login page, followed by ..... IMP!
I am suggesting that *after* you login in to imp you then type the URL
in the address bar and go there. If you are still being rerouted to
imp, then your installation is seriously borked.
> I'm guessing that the problem here is something to do with me
> installing the wrong level of one of the components - horde, imp and

> versions of the framework I have installed are wrong?
That is probably correct. I don't think the pear web-based installer
contains the latest HEAD of the framework packages - those packages
are several months old.
> Is there anything specific I can check? I haven't got commmand-line
> access to cvs which is why I used the web-installer.
If you can use the snapshot packages of horde, imp, and dimp, why
aren't you using the nightly snapshot of framework also?

No, today I want to talk to you about a lesser-known role of omega 3s. How they help prevent your body from producing fat instead of muscle and bone as you age!
Sounds great, right? But there’s a small catch you need to know about to make the most of this benefit. You need to make sure you’re balancing your omega intake properly.
Let me show you how it all works…
Why Your Bones and Muscles Turn to Fat As You Age
To understand how omega 3s prevent sarcopenia (the medical term for when muscle is increasingly replaced by fat), you have to be familiar with a few key players.
In our article on omega 3 fatty acids and osteoporosis, we introduced omega 6s, the counterpart to omega 3s.
Now, omega 6s promote inflammation, while the omega 3s lessen it. Think of these two fatty acids like yin and yang. When they’re in balance, your body is at peace. Specifically, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signals are balanced. (More on this a little later on!)
The other key player is your mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are bone marrow cells that can grow up to be either osteoblasts (bone-building cells) or adipocytes (fat cells).
Here’s the thing: MSCs are easily influenced.
If they interact with anti-inflammatory omega 3s, they’re likely to become osteoblasts. But if they meet omega 6s, they tend to grow up to become adipocytes!
What’s more, researchers have discovered that MSCs are sensitive to aging.
In young to middle-aged individuals, MSCs saw moderate inflammation as a sign to build less fat and more bone. But in older adults, this situation reversed! MCSs exposed to inflammation built more fat instead of bone.
In addition, MSCs capacity to grow up at all — whether into an osteoblast or adipocyte — decreases as you age. Plus, the MSCs that do manage to grow up tend to choose the easier life of the fat cell.
All of these factors add up and contribute to the body’s tendency to produce less bone and more fat as you age. That sounds pretty bleak, doesn’t it?
But here’s the good news:
You can prevent this from happening by enlisting the help of the omega 3 fatty acids! When you consume enough omega 3s to balance your intake of omega 6s, you greatly lessen your risk of sarcopenia.
Read on for an explanation of how this works and to discover the ideal balance of omega 3s to omega 6s!
How a Balanced Intake of Omega 3s and Omega 6s Prevents Sarcopenia
It’s all about healthy competition.
Omega 3s parent compound, alpha linolenic acid (ALA), and omega 6s parent compound, linolenic acid (LA), partner with the same enzymes to produce their offspring.
So when omega 3s and omega 6s are around in balanced amounts, they compete for these enzymes! When the omega 3s win, they’re used to produce powerful anti-inflammatory offspring. And when the omega 6s win, they’re used to make pro-inflammatory offspring.
That’s why a balance of omega 3s and omega 6s means a balance of both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory offspring.
To be more specific, omega 3s protect you from inflammation in two ways:
- The omega 3s, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), help prevent inflammation by competing for the same enzymes that would otherwise be used to produce pro-inflammatory compounds from omega 6s.
- EPA and DHA use these enzymes to produce their own anti-inflammatory children: the resolvins and protectins. These children are aptly named! Resolvins resolve (shut down) the inflammatory process. And protectins protect you from the harmful effects of chronic inflammation.
So how does this prevent sarcopenia?
Well, if you recall, MSCs are influenced by their environment. When they’re exposed to an anti-inflammatory environment, they’re more likely to become bone-building cells instead of fat cells. And a balance of omega 3s and omega 6s promotes an anti-inflammatory environment!
Remember, this balance is especially important for older adults because MSCs lean towards becoming fat cells as you get older.
To sum things up, a balanced intake of omega 3s to omega 6s helps protect you from obesity, sarcopenia, and bone loss. We’ll go over what the right balance is in a moment…
But first, let’s take a closer look at how this whole process works!
The Events that Lead to Inflammation and Sarcopenia or Healthy Bone and Muscle Mass
Don’t be intimidated by how complex the following diagram looks! We’re going to break it down step by step.
But to give you a broad overview, this diagram looks at:
On the Left Hand Side
- The parent compound of the omega 6s, linoleic acid (LA).
- LA’s pro-inflammatory child, arachidonic acid (AA).
- AA’s pro-inflammatory offspring: prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4).
- How AA is modified by COX-2 or 5-LOX to produce their pro-inflammatory offspring.
On the Right Hand Side
- The parent compound of the omega 3s, alpha linoleic acid (ALA).
- ALA’s anti-inflammatory children, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
- EPA’s anti-inflammatory offspring: prostaglandin E3 (PGE3) and leukotriene B5 (LTB5).
- How EPA and DHA are modified by COX-2 or 5-LOX to produce their anti-inflammatory offspring.
Linoleic Acid (LA) and the Omega 6s
Let’s start with the left hand side of the diagram.
You’ll see linoleic acid (LA) at the very top of the left column. This is the parent compound of all the omega 6s.
Three steps down from LA, you’ll find arachidonic acid (AA), the key pro-inflammatory child of the omega 6s.
AA partners with enzymes to produce two potent pro-inflammatory offspring: prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4).
- PGE2 is produced from AA by an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Specifically, by a special form of this enzyme called “inducible COX-2” because it’s production is induced by inflammation. Simply put, your body make this version of COX-2 in response to inflammation.
- LTB4 is produced from AA by a different enzyme called 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX).
These grandchildren of LA (the parent omega 6) really get the inflammatory troops rolling. In fact, both PGE2 and LTB4 are strongly associated with postmenopausal bone loss and obesity.
Alpha Linoleic Acid (ALA) and the Omega 3s
Now, let’s look at the right hand side of the diagram. (You’ll see it mirrors the left hand side in many ways!)
At the very top of the right column, you’ll see alpha linoleic acid (ALA). ALA is the parent compound of all the omega 3s.
Three steps down from ALA, you’ll find eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the first anti-inflammatory child of ALA.
EPA partners with enzymes to create two highly anti-inflammatory children: prostaglandin E3 (PGE3) and leukotriene B5 (LTB5).
- PGE3 is produced from EPA by the same enzyme used by the omega 6s, COX-2.
- LTB5 is also produced from EPA by the same enzyme used by the omega 6s, 5-LOX.
The key point here is that the same enzymes, COX-2 and 5-LOX, are used to produce both the pro-inflammatory offspring of AA and the anti-inflammatory offspring of EPA.
Also note the last omega 3 in the column, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA produces the anti-inflammatory resolvins and protectins, with the help of COX-2 and 5-LOX.
So, by understanding what turns these enzymes on, we can figure out how to point them in the right direction! Simply put, we can encourage them to work with anti-inflammatory EPA and DHA instead of pro-inflammatory AA.
The COX-2 Enzyme
COX-2 has a split personality, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
COX-2 activity can either protect or damage your bones. It all depends on what triggers this enzyme!
If COX-2 encounters pro-inflammatory triggers, then Mr. Hyde comes out. That is, COX-2 gets up to no good and partners with AA to produce pro-inflammatory PGE2 offspring.
But if anti-inflammatory EPA is around, COX-2’s Dr. Jekyll side shows up. That is, COX-2 is on its best behavior and partners with EPA to produce anti-inflammatory PGE3 offspring. In fact, COX-2 in Dr. Jekyll mode is essential for the production of both of EPA’s anti-inflammatory children: PGE3 and LTB5.
What’s more, DHA needs COX-2 to produce its anti-inflammatory children: the resolvins and protectins.
COX-2 can even play an anti-inflammatory role with omega 6s! If you refer back to the left hand side of the diagram, you’ll see the first child of the parent omega 6 compound LA, is gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Now, GLA gets converted into dihomo gamma linolenic acid (DGLA).
Here’s where things get interesting: COX-2 as Dr. Jekyll can convert DGLA into the anti-inflammatory PGE1 series! But as Mr. Hyde, COX-2 converts DGLA into pro-inflammatory AA, which then generates the pro-inflammatory PGE2 series.
So COX-2 has the power to produce both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory compounds from omega 6s. Plus, it can produce even more anti-inflammatory compounds from omega 3s.
But what brings out the Dr. Jekyll side of COX-2?
A healthy balance of omega 3s and omega 6s! Many experts believe the optimal ratio of omega 6s to omega 3s is 4:1. For more information on why this is the ideal ratio, visit our page on The Modern Omega 6 to Omega 3 Ratio and How to Fix It.
The main takeaway is that it’s all about balance:
- When there are sufficient omega 3s to balance omega 6s, COX-2 acts as both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
- As Dr. Jekyll, COX-2 produces anti-inflammatory offspring. These offspring resolve inflammation and encourage MSCs to become bone-building osteoblasts instead of fat cells. As Mr. Hyde, COX-2 produces pro-inflammatory offspring. These offspring ensure your immune system is active and ready to come to your defense.
- They also make sure your osteoclasts are put to work, but only long enough to clear out old or damaged bone and promote healthy bone remodeling.
- So when your omega 3s and 6s are in balance, so are the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions of COX-2!
The 5-LOX Enzyme
Take another look at the diagram, and you’ll see the same story unfolding with the 5-LOX enzyme.
On the diagram’s left side, 5-LOX partners with AA to produce pro-inflammatory offspring called the leukotrienes.
On the diagram’s right side, 5-LOX works with EPA to produce the anti-inflammatory E-series resolvins and LBT5. It also partners up with DHA to produce the anti-inflammatory D-series resolvins and protectins.
As you can see, 5-LOX has a split personality just like COX-2. Depending what triggers this enzyme is exposed to, it can produce either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory offspring. So once again, it’s all about balance.
When you have the right balance of omega 3s to omega 6s, 5-LOX’s anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory actions are also balanced.
Incidentally, this explains why the research on omega 3s and muscle mass is often misleading. More on this in the next section!
Why the Research on Omega 3s and Muscle Mass is Misleading
Many studies have looked into the effects of omega 3 supplementation on bone and muscle mass. And the results have been mixed. In fact, a recent meta-analysis found that omega 3 supplementation produces insignificant effects.
But this conclusion is flawed. Here’s why:
High levels of omega 6s may limit the effectiveness of omega 3s. Once again, it all comes back to balance!
You need a balanced ratio of omega 6s to omega 3s to see the benefits of these fatty acids. But if your levels of omega 6s are too high, basic supplementation with omega 3s won’t be enough to offset the pro-inflammatory environment. And many people in the Western world have high omega 6 levels. (We’ll touch on why in the next section.)
So it makes sense that the results of omega 3 supplementation studies would be mixed.
But there’s also growing evidence in favor of omega 3s supporting bone and muscle mass. A recent review looked at the effects of omega 3s on older adults in particular. Researchers concluded that omega 3s from fish oil improved muscle mass in older adults. And that omega 3 supplementation may also improve strength and muscle function.
Now, this is important because your skeletal and muscular systems are closely linked. Your bones are surrounded by muscle, and muscle contractions condition your bones. So stronger muscles equals stronger bones… and vice versa!
Omega 3s, Bone, and Muscle Mass Takeaways
Getting plenty of omega 3s is increasingly important as you age.
On top of fighting inflammation and promoting bone-building, a balanced intake of omega 3s helps prevent your muscles from turning to fat. In other words, it prevents sarcopenia— a major cause of bone loss and loss of independence in older adults.
Unfortunately, the modern Western diet (also called the standard American diet or SAD) promotes sarcopenia. That’s because the SAD is loaded with omega 6s, and is sorely lacking in omega 3s. For a more detailed explanation of why this is, visit our page on The Modern Omega 6 to Omega 3 Ratio and How to Fix It.
The main takeaway here is that a balanced ratio of 4:1 omega 6s to omega 3s:
- Lowers inflammation
- Prevents sarcopenia
- Encourages just the right amount of bone break down and bone-building to maintain healthy bones!

Mollie leaves Animal Farm because she has never fully embraced its new way of life, and she instead prefers the benefits of being owned by humans. Of all the animals, Mollie has not risen to the demands of Animalism. She sneaks sugar and ribbons, shirks her duties, shows up late to work, and maintains contact with humans. After she leaves Animal Farm, the pigeons see her in town, pulling a dogcart while a human strokes her nose and feeds her sugar. These details show that Mollie chooses to sacrifice her liberty for comfort.

Sidney Perkins, a freshman at Christian Brothers Academy, wrote this essay for the April 12 Voices page.
By Sidney Perkins
Imagine a crystal-clear pond placed between two beautiful, green hills. The sweet sound of wind weaves in between the trees, gently lulling you to sleep in the cool shade. The sign at the entrance explains that this is a state park.
New York is a beautiful state with many parks that allow its beauty to be shared. I have enjoyed many relaxing Saturdays in state parks much like the one I described. When I heard that Gov. David Paterson proposed closing several of our state parks, I was devastated. Closing these parks will prevent people from hiking around Clark Reservation and walking beside the historic Erie Canal at the Old Erie Canal State Park, the two parks in Onondaga County on the list to be closed. In one stroke of a pen, Gov. Paterson could close some of our best assets, our state parks.
It is true, closing the parks would save some money, but it wouldn’t save enough to make a dent in the $8.2 billion deficit. Rather than closing parks, the government could remove some maintenance crews from them and ask for volunteers. I think this would be an effective and inexpensive way to maintain the parks. Another alternative would be to decrease funding for state parks.
State parks offer many different forms of recreation, from hiking to tossing a Frisbee. Closing the parks will prevent people from enjoying the great outdoors and fails to accomplish its aim: bridging the deficit.

Worship. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s a wonderful thing. It is literally (and I am using that word correctly, ya haters) the best. It also makes people feel awkward and uncomfortable and tense. It’s caused rifts and confusion and apprehension. That is not the best. Literally.
In my most free state, when I get to that place where I am completely unaware of the people around me and am instead fully engaged with the Father…well, things can get a little crazy. There’s a lot of arm waving, twirling, tip-toe standing, and audible laughing. I can confidently say that in that place, in those moments, is when I am my most joyful. It’s like a taste of heaven and I’m in awe that I even get a bite. If I’m wearing comfy clothes on top of it and I decided to leave my heels at home – it’ll take me hours to come down from that mountain! Now put me beside some like-minded friends in the same situation and, oh boy. It’s good, guys. It is dang good.
Not every worship experience gets me to that place, though. While the Father is always present and the Holy Spirit is always working, my itty bitty dumb ole human mind tends to wander. I get distracted by insecurities, plans, bad hair days. I start thinking about my future, my past, my present drama, and throughout it all, am acutely aware of the possible judgments of every individual in my vicinity which in turn makes me acutely aware of my hands. What am I supposed to do with my hands?!
Millennials are an interesting bunch. I can say this because I am one. We are constantly criticizing other people and ourselves, more often and more severely than generations before. Through various social media outlets, more media, reality shows, and trendy lifestyle blogs than ever before, we spend our days comparing ourselves to a particular version of thousands and thousands of individuals. We judge habitually and harshly.
And then on the other side of it, my culture has taught me to believe that everyone is a-okay! We’re all good! In fact, everything’s all good. Your truth is your truth, mine is mine. None of us are wrong. We’re just different. It’s all wonderful. Bubbles and rainbows. Don’t judge anyone ever.
We are a confusing bunch, we millennials. Sorry about that, every other generation.
This “every truth is truth” mentality is dangerous. It seems compromising and friendly but, in reality, it steals people from the freedom that absolute truth can bring. This mentality can be dangerous when it comes to policies and laws and sins and salvation, but even in our churches, even in our worship with like-minded believers, this state of mind creeps in and takes hold.
Since we are constantly in this back-and-forth game of judging all the time and refusing to judge at all, “Worship however you want” can quickly turn into, “Worship the way the person next to you is worshiping.” This way, in my experience and denomination, tends to be the most subdued way. We don’t want to make a scene, after all. We try to compromise without risk of being critiqued ourselves.
If we read Psalms, we see David worshiping with hands raised, with instruments of all kinds, with dance, with shouts, face down on the floor, on the streets, in his underwear, you name it. He sang with joy at some times and at other times he despaired. Say what you will about David, but the man worshiped. He worshiped hard. He worshiped well. He did not compromise. He did not care what the person next to Him was thinking, unless they wanted to jump in with fierce and wild worship as well.
I have yet to read any accounts of David worshiping with his hands at his sides, stone faced.
Psalm 100 says, “Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are His. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.”
Just reading that evokes images of dance and shouts: singing with joy, going in with praise! When you imagine going in somewhere with praise, what does that look like to you? Running? Leaping? Fist pumping? Sweet 360 turns, parkour style?
Love the Lord authentically. Worship Him in the way that best connects you to Him. If that means sitting and biting your nails, sit and bite your nails. If that means twirling and leaping, twirl and leap. What worries me, is that we may think we are best connected to Him by standing still with our hands at our sides, when we’ve yet to even try entering the dance.
Don’t jump in all at once. Next time you’re alone in the car, turn on a worship song. Instead of humming along or trying to sound like an angel, shout it. Fist pump a little. Bounce in your seat. See how it feels. You might just like it and the Holy Spirit might just dance along with you.

DRYER VENT CLEANING TULSA
Lots of homeowners are attentive in making sure the lint catch is cleaned between loads in the clothes dryer. While that is extremely important, much of the threat from your home's clothes dryer takes place out of sight, past exactly what you could get to in everyday cleansing.
It has been approximated that what you clean up from the dust trap can be just a 25 percent of the dust, while the continuing to be 75 percent is not had for very easy cleaning. Even in newer models with sophisticated lint catches where a bulk it contained in advance, there is still too much passing through. Over time this accumulate could develop the opportunity for a fire threat.
Although it may not get on your current family maintenance list, a specialist dryer vent cleaning could add to risk-free procedure and also the effectiveness of the device. Some usual inquiries concerning dryer vents consist of:
HOW IS THE DRYER VENT CLEANED?
A professional dryer vent cleaning should attend to the entire vent from the clothes dryer to the outside leave factor, reaching locations that could not come to the majority of property owners.
WHY WOULD A DRYER VENT CATCH FIRE?
There are a few different reasons a clothes dryer could capture on fire, one of the most usual is if the air flow in the duct is limited by an accumulation of dust. This can raise drying time which after that causes the motor to get too hot. The lint underneath the dryer can after that catch fire, which is prepared right into the air duct by the air circulation.
WHY DOES A CLOTHES DRYER CLEANSING INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS?
The even more lint build up that remains in the air vent, the more difficult your clothes dryer has to function to completely dry garments. Longer drying out times are straining to the maker itself and require more power to operate.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE VENT PROFESSIONALLY CLEANSED?
It differs by home owner, yet several suggestions suggest every 1-3 years relying on usage. If you have a large family members or are regularly doing washing it is most likely that you are generating even more dust than a property owner using their dryer less frequently.
SOME INDICATIONS THAT YOU MAY DEMAND A DRYER VENT CLEANING:
It has actually been 2 years or even more considering that your last specialist service, yet if you see other indicators then much faster activity may be needed
Clothes are taking much longer to completely dry as well as the device is otherwise operating well
The clothes dryer feels extremely hot to the touch as well as clothing could be damaged
The outdoors flap of the air vent is extremely silent
Other means right into rise the security of your residence's clothes dryer consist of being thorough regarding just what you position right into the clothes dryer. Clothing that are subjected to oils, cleaning up solvents or various other chemicals could need special treatment or added launderings before going into the dryer. Past frequent cleanings, utilizing the ideal products to vent your clothes dryer is essential.

Even though Frankenstorm is headed our way and people are in panic as they scramble around for last minute necessities, life goes on as usual here at our house.
The first celebration is that my daughter passed her driver’s test this morning! I guess that is a celebration…for her. It leaves me with a ton of mixed feelings, but that’s just part of being a mom. As I sit here and type, she is headed out on her own for her first solo trip. I really shouldn’t worry; she’s headed to Target, and we have driven there millions of times during the last six months.
The second celebration is that we are celebrating my niece’s birthday this afternoon. She’s my youngest niece and she turned ten last Tuesday. It’s hard to believe she’s ten already. Before we know it, she will be driving too!
For the celebration my sister-in-law asked me to bring Mac & Cheese. Since the only Mac & Cheese I make is Easy Mac, I suggested that I bring this baked ziti dish that:
- I can actually successfully make on my own…AND
- Tastes yummy!
If you remember back to my earlier post called Love It or Loathe It?, you will recall the battle that I had with the deviled eggs…and lost!
When I collect recipes I have two requirements. It has to be simple and the final product has to taste yummy! As soon as I read the words chop, saute, or brown I’m finished. That recipe will not be added to my collection! My baked ziti recipe, however, makes the mark. Here are six ingredients that you need:
All you need to do is cook the pasta and mix the cheeses and sauce together. Then place in a 13×9 baking dish. Before it’s ready to go in the oven, this is how it will look:
Then bake the ziti in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Your ziti is then ready for your enjoyment. Here is the link for the original recipe: Creamy Italian-Style Ziti
Well, the oven timer is beeping and the garage door is opening. That means the I didn’t burn the ziti and my daughter returned safely from her first driving adventure. Two more things to celebrate! Life is Good!
I Hope You Enjoy Your Sunday!

|<< Isaiah 36 >>|
New International Version
Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem
1In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
2Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. When the commander stopped at the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,
3Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder went out to him.
4The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah:
“ ‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours?
5You say you have counsel and might for war—but you speak only empty words. On whom are you depending, that you rebel against me?
6Look, I know you are depending on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces the hand of anyone who leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him.
7But if you say to me, “We are depending on the Lord our God”—isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, “You must worship before this altar”?
8“ ‘Come now, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!
9How then can you repulse one officer of the least of my master’s officials, even though you are depending on Egypt for chariots and horsemen
10Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told me to march against this country and destroy it.’ ”
11Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to the field commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
12But the commander replied, “Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the people sitting on the wall—who, like you, will have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?”
13Then the commander stood and called out in Hebrew, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
14This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you. He cannot deliver you!
15Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord when he says, ‘The Lord will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
16“Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then each of you will eat fruit from your own vine and fig tree and drink water from your own cistern,
17until I come and take you to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18“Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have the gods of any nations ever delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand?
20Who of all the gods of these countries have been able to save their lands from me? How then can the Lord deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
21But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
22Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and Joah son of Asaph the recorder went to Hezekiah, with their clothes torn, and told him what the field commander had said.

Ultra rich number to grow 35pc in Mideast
Manama, March 5, 2014
The number of ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) in the Middle East is likely to increase 35 per cent in the next 10 years, a new study has said.
The region's UHNWI population, people who have more than $30 million in net assets, will increase from 7,052 in 2013 to 9,498 in 2024, said the Knight Frank Wealth Report, an annual analysis of wealth flows and property investment around the world.
Globally, the UHNWI population is expected to increase 28 per cent from 167,669 to 215,113, it said.
The number of UHNWIs across the world rose by three per cent last year, despite continued economic turbulence. Data prepared for the report shows that the number is set to grow by nearly 30 per cent over the next decade.
The report said New York will overtake London as the most important city for the ultra-wealthy by 2024.
The report shows that three of the top five most important cities by 2024 will be in Asia, knocking Geneva from the top of the charts. The Asian cities are: Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai.
Over the last year, the global response to the financial crisis continued to boost property markets in many parts of the world. The latest results from The Wealth Report’s Prime International Residential Index (PIRI) confirm that Asian markets, led by Jakarta, experienced the biggest price growth in 2013, followed by Auckland, Bali, Christchurch and Dublin.
Liam Bailey said: “History, location and their long-established wealth mean that London and New York’s positions look unassailable, at least for now. It is further down our leader board that the real city wars are being waged. The main battleground is Asia, where a handful of locations are slugging it out in the hope of establishing a clear lead as the region’s alpha urban hub.
By region, the Middle East top five includes Istanbul and Abu Dhabi, two centres from the report's “hotspots” list – cities that are set to rapidly increase their influence on Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHWNIs) – close behind Dubai in prime position.
One legacy of the Arab Spring is the enhanced status of Turkey as a safe haven location for investors from the Gulf and North Africa, it said.
In terms of property performance, locations that were hardest hit by the downturn, like Dubai, Dublin and now Madrid, are also bouncing back strongly.
“The growth of UHNWIs in China and India coupled with an eye-catching 144 per cent increase in Indonesia and a stellar 166 per cent hike in Vietnam will help push the total number of UHWNIs up by 43 per cent t0 2023,” explained Liam Bailey.

Since I don’t have a lot of stories to tell, I thought I’d post a phone dump and let my pictures tell the stories. Before I get started, let me explain that some of what I include will be from #oneadaymay, which means I posted one photo each day on Instagram and Facebook the whole month long. (Mauri did it too.) I’ll share some of the captions too.
Day One: paint the entry/hall. He does the broad strokes; I do the cut ins. Teamwork at its best. We had a big project of painting all the rooms in our West Wing in preparation for new flooring.
Fresh paint surrounds family history. I discovered this stained-glass window in the attic of my first in-laws, moved it to Oregon, and we built it into one of our West Wing walls.
More paint around family history. Twenty-two years of service in this location. A Macy family relic since their Haviland, KS, days when Mauri claimed it as payment for helping a friend tear down an outhouse. If only walls could talk….we’d know more of its history.
We don’t usually choose the back seats at church, but this morning it was our only option in this packed building. But it allowed me to stand on my chair to get this picture of our incoming pastor (with his family) being installed by our outgoing pastor, who planted Hillside Fellowship ten years ago. May God bless Zach and Sean and their families as they go and stay to follow God’s calling on their lives.
One more “paint around family history.” Started with a neon sign in my dad’s Wheaton, IL, Front Street real estate office, inherited by me and carried from home to home in my second life, then to my third life here in Oregon. Mauri surprised me by taking it to a neon expert in Portland who remounted it and brought the same colors back to life. Now enjoyed in the loft above our closet.
My friend John Penrose commented on Facebook that he remembers delivering the Wheaton Daily Journal to my dad at his office.
Mission accomplished. (Turns out we still had quite a bit more to paint, which I just finished today.)
Before carpet installation.
After — she found her bed. Two beds, actually.
Thankful again for Macy sons, who have returned to haul our crud in from the garage now that new flooring is installed. We might be the only people you know whose headboard was once their back door and sports a working doorknob.
Three coats of paint on my first mother-in-law’s dresser and shifted it to a different side of the closet. Oh, how I love to reorganize! I’ll think of my mother when I throw change in her paint-by-number bowl and the kindness of Ben’s friend Joe, who brought a brown teddy bear to the hospital to comfort me one dreadful night in October 1993. I also love reminders; can you tell?
Remembering this remarkable night two years ago when nearly all of our large blended family, together in one place (Virginia), watched Taylor marry Beth. We couldn’t love her more.
And then it was time for a party to celebrate Howard and Margi Macy’s 50th wedding anniversary. Margi made this quilt from T-shirts that commemorated some of the events of their life together.
Here’s the happy couple, thinking they’ll go for 25 more years.
The a very welcome guest came for a short stay with us. Cassidy introduced us to mandala. It is supposed to be relaxing. I was pretty relaxed watching her draw this.
She’s pretty patient with my picture taking.
This girl’s a shopper but very careful with her money. Records are making a comeback, did you know?
Cones at Jem 100 were on the list.
Too soon, Dusty came back to claim his girl.
Not even 13 years old, and already as tall as her Gus. My oh my!
Here’s news! Sage graduated from pre-school today.
Friday afternoon and the fresh-picked cherries that no one claimed from the office kitchen got turned into a pie in our kitchen that night. No, we didn’t need a pie, but neither did Mauri complain too much.

Nairobi based African Economic Research Consortium has received Sh700 million to strengthen the capacity of academic institutions in terms of staff skills and equipment.
African Development Bank (AfDB) said the grant will enable closer interaction between the research firm and graduate students, researchers, educators, universities, policymakers, policy institutions, non-state actors, such as the private sector and civil society within Africa.
AfDB Regional Director Mr Gabriel Negatu said the bank planned to harness locally sourced knowledge to build technologies that would help transform Africa into a job creator offering equal opportunities for all and also boasts of a competitive workforce.
“AERC provides a great platform for students in the region to be well trained, and for researchers to conduct quality research in key areas that will drive Africa’s transformation,” said Mr Negatu.
Speaking during the ceremony in Nairobi, AERC Executive Director Professor Lemma Senbet described the grant as a momentous achievement that solidifies sustainability of AERC’s programmes spanning policy-oriented research, collaborative graduate training and policy outreach.
He said this would help them build capacity within institutions and among individual researchers thereby helping ignite interest in governance research.
Benefiting individuals and institutions will be drawn from AfDB-eligible countries, with a view to fostering structural transformation via strengthening of institutions to provide a conducive atmosphere to train Master’s and PhD graduates as well as quality research.
“Institutions’ capacity to deliver quality training and research in a sustained and active network of African universities will be better than before, while providing policymakers with enhanced knowledge as an input to improved policymaking,” said the statement.

Hiring a general contractor (GC) to help with a construction project is a smart way to ensure the project goes smoothly and efficiently. A general contractor is typically responsible for day-to-day oversight of the project, as well as quality control. Hiring the right GC is an important decision, so how can you be sure you are hiring the one who is the perfect fit for your project?
Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Do Your Research
First and foremost, you’ll want to make sure your GC is properly licensed and insured. In addition, you’ll want to find individuals who have experience with your specific type of project. Finding references and analyzing previously-completed projects can also be extremely beneficial. Make sure to talk with family, friends, and neighbors for recommendations too.
2. Conduct your own Interviews
After gathering a list of potential GCs, make a call to each of the prospects to talk to them personally. Ask questions like, “Have you completed projects of this size before?” “What is your experience with these kinds of projects?” “How long have you been working with your subcontractors and technicians?” The answers to these questions will help you determine the company’s reliability, expertise, and commitment to the job.
3. Ask for References
Ask your potential contractors for a list of previous clients. Reach out to these references and ask about the contractor’s service performance, quality, and timeliness. This is your opportunity to find out about the contractor’s characteristics firsthand.
4. Compare Bids
Ask all of your potential hires to break down the cost of the project. Compare the bids, and see how they would spend money on materials, labor, and other expenses. But don’t let the lower price be your only guide in the decision-making process. A lowball bid can mean the contractor is cutting corners or is desperate for work, neither of which are encouraging.
5. Put it in Writing
Sign a proposal before any work starts. Make sure to outline a contract that details every step of the project— cost, payment schedule, a projected start and end date, proof of liability insurance and a requirement for the contractor to get lien releases from his subcontractors (This will protect you if the contractor doesn’t pay his own bills.)
If you are currently searching for a general contractor for your construction or renovation project, keep MaintenX in mind. We have the expertise and organization to ensure your project goes smoothly and efficiently. To learn more about us and the services we offer, please call 855-751-0075.

WASHINGTON — May 2019 was the second-wettest month in U.S. history.
Drenching rains and historic flooding last month contributed to a record-wet, 12-month period, from June 2018 through May 2019, according to the latest climate report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.
For Ohio, it was the wettest year on record in the last 124 years. (Scroll down for a chart with historical perspective of Ohio’s rainfall totals.)
Soggy conditions from June 2018 through May 2019 led to the wettest 12-month period on record in the U.S., with 37.68 inches, 7.73 inch above average. The previous June-May record was 35.47 inches and occurred from June 1982-May 1983. The previous all-time 12-month record was 36.20 inches and occurred from May 2018-April 2019.
Exceptionally stormy conditions brought more than 500 tornado reports in May — more than double the three-year average of 226.
The average May temperature across the contiguous U.S. was 59.5 degrees F (0.70 degrees below the 20th-century average), which ranked in the bottom third of the 125-year record.
The average precipitation for May was 4.41 inches, 1.50 inches above average and ranked second wettest in the 125-year record. Nationally, the wettest month on record remains May 2015, with 4.44 inches, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
Rainy year to date
Continuing a wet trend, both the spring and year-to-date precipitation totals for the contiguous U.S. were well-above average.
The spring precipitation total was 9.85 inches, 1.91 inches above average and the sixth wettest spring on record, while the year-to-date precipitation total was 15.71 inches, 3.32 inches above average and ranked as the wettest year-to-date period for the contiguous U.S. in the 125-year record.
The average U.S. temperature for the year to date (January through May) was 43.4 degrees F, which falls in the middle third of the year-to-date record.
The average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during Meteorological Spring (March through May) was 50.9 degrees F (0.10 of a degree below average), which also ranked in the middle third of the record.
Snow still fell
Duluth, Minnesota, had 10.6 inches of snow on May 9, breaking the city’s snowstorm record for May. Denver, Colorado, had its snowiest May in 44 years and tallied 3.9 inches.

You do not need to be an elite sportsperson or hiker to complete the expedition but the fitter you are the more enjoyable you will find it. All participants should be either walking or jogging (i.e. stair climbing, hills, inclines and anything that goes in the upward direction). Every participant needs to consult a physician well before the expedition date and make sure that they do not suffer from any chronic heart, lungs, cerebral, physical or any other serious illness. We will provide you with a medical clearance form to be filled out that can usually be bulk billed by most doctors. However we are not a medical facility and we take no legal responsibility for medical or other emergencies that may arise on the course of the training or the trek. However as your service provider and hosts we will take all necessary steps needed to evacuate injured or ill clients with the greatest of care.
Please see About - Training
Medicines and First Aid
All trekkers are recommended to carry a personal first aid kit with medicines for common ailments, cuts and bruises, painkillers, etc. Anyone using any prescription medicines regularly should carry a supply for the whole duration of their expedition.
Please consult your doctor and include items and medicines that may be required for you. We provide a first aid kit and all guides are minimum level 2 first aid qualified, however we will not supply any medicines and will take no legal responsibility for any medical treatment or professional medical support to clients.
*If you have something you are particularly prone to such as ear infections, sinus problems or mild asthma bring what you need with you. Also please advise us of any allergies as we do use nuts in our cooking.
We will be carrying an extensive Wilderness First Aid Kit including a fully equipped Automated External Defibrillator.
Your personal first aid kit should contain:
Bandaids, paracetamol, deep heat or other muscle liniment, disposable gloves, second skin blister pack dressings, crepe bandages, antibiotic cream for bites, grazes, cuts and scratches, 'Imodium' tablets, strapping tape (for knees and ankles), anti chaffing cream e.g. Paw-Paw cream, foot powder, waterless antibacterial hand disinfectant/gel, anti-malarial drugs (see your doctor), gastro stop, anti-inflammatory cream/gel, broad spectrum antibiotic tablets and insect repellent.
If travelling with a partner or friend most of these items can be shared.
On top of the normal health consideration, women are advised to bring a tube of Canestan and tampons. The Canestan is used for the treatment of thrush (which can be very painful if left untreated) and can be applied to both internal and external thrush. The tampons are used to apply the Canestan internally.
There are no current vaccinations required for entry to PNG. However consideration should be given to the below and make sure your tetanus cover is up to date.
Plan ahead for getting your vaccinations, some of them require an initial shot followed by a booster, while some vaccinations should not be given together. Also please note that most malaria prophylactics require the entire course be taken and can also have side effects.
- Malaria: We strongly recommend Malaria medication and note that some malaria prophylactics, may have to be begun at least a week before you leave home and continued for 2 weeks upon your arrival home. (also please note, most have side effects)
- Typhoid: This is recommended for Papua New Guinea, most have to be started 2 weeks prior to travel.
- Hepatitis A: This is recommended for Papua New Guinea, most have to be started 2 weeks prior to travel.
- Hepatitis B: This is recommended for Papua New Guinea, most have to be started 2 months prior to travel.
- Cholera: This is recommended for Papua New Guinea, most have to be started 2 weeks prior to travel.
- Tuberculosis: This is recommended for Papua New Guinea, most have to be started 3 months prior to travel.
- Yellow Fever: A certificate of vaccination is required if arriving from an area with any risk of yellow fever transmission. 10 days before travel

Money & Currency
The currency in PNG is the Kina (K) and exchange rates vary depending on the strength of the US dollar. Cash and travellers’ checks are readily accepted and can be exchanged for Kina at the airport, hotels or banks in any major city. Credit cards such as American Express, Visa and MasterCard are accepted in many hotels, shops and restaurants in major towns and cities. Bankcard is not accepted in PNG. For spending money while on expedition it is best to have money in local currency (K). Although you can usually obtain a better exchange rate in PNG, it is safer to exchange in Australia as time delays can prove difficult. You should approximately allow for $250 - $500 for the 10 days. We usually get a better rate if we exchange our money as a group, so you will be contacted closer to departure to organise a time for the group to exchange their money.
You will require spending money for:
1) Personal items such as laundry, phone calls, snack’s, etc.
2) Alcoholic/bottled beverages and drinks including bottled water.
3) Tips. All tipping is at your discretion. (A usual tip is approximately K80-K100 Kina or $50-$60)
4) Souvenirs and handicrafts.
5) Small snacks along the Track $80 in small Kina notes 1K, 2K and 5K
If you would like to show your appreciation to the local team you may show it by providing a tip. A usual tip is approximately K100 Kina or $50, though this is at your discretion. Please give the tips to the Australian Guide who will then distribute them at the last dinner. Please mention particular team members for good or bad performance to the Australian Guide. The local team also appreciates gifts. If you like you can give them your shoes and clothing at the end of the expedition.
Gifts for Locals
Many of our trekkers want to give to local communities they pass through. We encourage this and recommend either sport balls such as tennis, soccer or Australian Rules balls. Alternatively, educational equipment such as pencils, pencil sharpeners, paper, chalk and small chalkboards are greatly appreciated. As these things can weigh a fair bit, don't overdo it or you may not get to the villages to hand them out. Many groups elect to share the costs of a dedicated gifts porter to carry their gifts.
Power in PNG
PNG has the same power outlets as Australia and thus you do not need to purchase an adapter for your electronic items.
Trek Briefing Meeting
More information and guidelines will be furnished during trek training or prior to your departure for your expedition. Topics discussed then will include the following subjects.
- How to walk.
- Lodging, meals and other conditions while on expedition.
- Security and safety.
- Evacuation Procedures.- Cultural and Environmental Considerations.
- Other relevant information.
Please make sure you have the following items before you travel to the airport.
- Luggage - back pack with personal clothing/equipment, etc.
- Day pack or carry on luggage to leave at hotel with spare change of clothes. (Lockable)
- Valid passport.
- Photocopy of the main page of your passport.
- Return Air-tickets with confirmed seat and other travel documents.
- Medical/travel insurance papers/certificates.
- Traveller’s' checks, credit cards, cash dollars for expenses while in PNG.
- Insurance - Details of the insurance company we prefer as below
Arrival in Papua New Guinea
Upon your arrival on please go through to collect checked luggage and then please come out of the EXIT door. Outside you will see many people waiting for arriving passengers. There will be our operations staff waiting for you upon your arrival. Please go direct to them and introduce yourselves. You will be taken straight to your hotel, issued rooms, time for Expedition Briefing etc. Do let us know if there are any last minute changes to your arrival time.
When packing your backpack for men, keep your heaviest items close to your back, centered between your shoulder blades. You should keep heavy items in the middle of your pack. This helps focus more of the weight over your hips, the area of your body best equipped to carry a heavy load.
Women however due to a different centre of gravity may want to arrange heavier items lower in the main compartment, starting again from the spot between your shoulder blades. This lowers your centre of gravity and increases your stability on uneven terrain.
Stuff your sleeping bag into its lower compartment first. Squeeze in any additional lightweight items you won't need until bedtime (pillowcase, sleeping shirt, etc.) This will serve as the base of the main compartment, which you'll fill next. Tighten all compression straps to limit any load-shifting. You are the ultimate judge of what feels comfortable to you. Experiment with different load arrangements to determine what feels best.
Make sure some items are easily accessible, packed in places where they can be reached with a minimum of digging: E.g. Glasses, Insect Repellent, Snacks, Light, First Aid, Water, Rainwear.
Don't waste empty space. Cram every nook with something. Put a small item of clothing inside your shoes, for example. Smaller items, such as food, pack more efficiently in individual units rather than leave in boxes or cases. Minimize the number of items you strap to the outside of your pack. Gear carried externally may adversely affect your balance. Secure any equipment you carry outside so it doesn't swing or rattle.
Carry a pack cover. Backpacks, though made with waterproof fabric, have vulnerable seams and zippers. After a few hours of exposure to persistent rain, the items inside your pack could become wet - and thus much heavier. It's also advisable to pack your items in zip lock bags.

It’s all about controlling the design and Staying Out of the News! Medical device companies recognize the need for accurate, precise tolerance analysis and GD&T solutions. Utilizing Sigmetrix’ CETOL 6σ and GD&T Advisor products empower our customers to:
- Comply with increased regulatory requirements
- Products are predictable and inherently safe
- Validate software tool internally
- Allow for easy reporting
- Balance quality and cost
Because of the unique regulatory requirements and significant liability issues inherent in many markets today, the more visibility a medical device engineer has into the actual performance of the design after manufacturing, the greater his ability is to control risk via the design and minimize liability exposure.
Medical device companies recognize the need for accurate, precise tolerance analysis solutions. Medical device industry customers consist of leaders in the following areas:
- Blood monitoring and diabetes care
- Implantable devices
- Orthopedic and spinal implants
- Surgical instruments
Application – Biopsy Harvesting Instrument, Precise Tolerance Analysis for Lifesaving Devices.
Objective: Analyze jaw alignment to ensure full sample extraction and minimize patient discomfort. Cost control was imperative, as this is a disposable device. Competitive nature of device is extreme and patient comfort critical. Tissue sizes must be consistent.
Results: Sigmetrix’ solutions used to identify critical functional dimensions and tolerances to meet performance requirements. Identified “side bite” and “over bite” issues. Optimized design dimensions and precise tolerances, resulting in reduced scrap and unnecessary rejections.
Application – Surgical Instruments, Precise Tolerance Analysis proved value when product was not viable. Saving company millions of lost production & time by forecasting assembly tolerances in design phase.
Objective: CETOL 6σ analysis of electrical surgical knife design. Needed assurance that the knife would deploy every time. First design exhibited electrical plug insertion problems; unit could not maintain power.
Results: The design was never manufactured. Four design solutions were evaluated; CETOL 6σ showed that the tolerance levels required were in excess of what could be held with manufacturing without design changes. This led to the scrapping of the project.
Application – Medical Bed, Variation Analysis for Parts Assembly
Results: CETOL 6σ was used to develop assembly and adjustment procedure to reduce variation as well as to optimize dimensions and tolerances to improve performance and reduce manufacturing costs.

The Dominican Republic is a truly unique destination, boasting centuries of rich history, fascinating culture and unparalleled natural beauty. Hotel Casa Hemingway is located in Juan Dolio, a serene town on the southern coast of Hispaniola; the capital city of Santo Domingo is a short drive away. Whether you’re joining us here to shop, explore famous landmarks or simply enjoy the sun and surf, you’ll find our hotel perfectly placed.
Guavaberry Golf & Country Club
Designed by legendary golfer and architect Gary Player, Guavaberry offers over 7,000 yards of championship golf, bordered by a nature preserve and verdant tropical forest. The par-72 course is suitable for players of all skill and experience levels. Additional facilities include a driving range, a pro shop and a restaurant and bar.
Santo Domingo Shopping
Located less than an hour’s drive from the hotel, Santo Domingo is home to several shopping malls, from the environmentally friendly Ágora Mall to the decidedly upscale Blue Mall. Sambil, another popular shopping center in town, includes an aquarium and a multi-screen movie theater
Santo Domingo Historic Zone
Ciudad Colonial (or Zona Colonial, as most residents call it) is the city’s historic district, and a World Heritage site; founded at the end of the 15th century, it’s the oldest European settlement in the New World. Though less than two square miles in size, it is packed with some of Santo Domingo’s most noteworthy attractions, including Catedral Primada de América and the Alcázar de Colón. Relax in Parque Colón or Plaza de España, and be sure to visit the Ruins of the San Francisco Monastery on Sunday evenings for live music and dancing.
Juan Dolio Fishing
Juan Dolio was originally established as a fishing village, so it’s no surprise that deep-sea fishing is one of the area’s most popular activities. There are several fishing charters and tours just moments from the hotel; plan an excursion, and you might find yourself reeling in a marlin or a barracuda!
Juan Dolio Scuba DivinG
Divers will be delighted with the amount of excellent dive sites in the area; most are accessible via boat rather than from the shore, and the nearby protected areas offer much in the way of marine biodiversity. You’ll discover a wide range of fish, coral and even archaeological finds (such as the sunken ships at La Caleta National Underwater Park).

What are some fundamental rules that you should have when you own a house with a pool and have young children?
In Australia it is the law that all pools have child safety gates around them. If that's not the case where you are from, I'd strongly suggest investing in one anyway, and being strict about keeping the gate closed.
Teach your children very sternly that they are never to go anywhere near the pool without you, no running, etc., and of course teaching your children how to swim and all about water safety.
And the number of stories I have heard from parents who have just looked away for a moment, and then looked back and their child is in the water is so alarming. If you are supervising your kids, be sure that is exactly what you are doing (not reading a book, or anything else distracting).
Last of all, if you haven't taken a first aid course and learnt CPR, do it. The worst thing imaginable for me would to lose a child when I could have saved them if I had just spent that time to learn CPR.
One thing we tried which works well (assuming your children are old enough to have started to learn to write) was to have the children help write up the Swimming Pool Rules on a big piece of card or board. Then they help to fix these rules up somewhere near the pool.
The rules are the common sense things like "no swimming unsupervised", "no fighting" etc.
But the written notice helps them to understand that it's very very important, and having them responsible for creating the notice helps them to commit to it and take it seriously.
First, you need age-appropriate rules, so your children will understand and remember them. For example, "You are not allowed to go swimming without mommy or daddy" for a 3 year old, or "No horsing around near the pool" for a 6 year old.
Second, sign them up for swimming lessons, unless you're planning to hold them in your arms for the next several years whenever you're in the pool. In the long term, this is how you prevent drowning. Classes for children will emphasize water safety.
Third, CPR is very effective when performed by nurses and paramedics who do it for a living. It is rather less effective when performed by people who took a 2-hour class a few years ago.
