Naveen’s heart ached as she stumbled out of the bar. The cool January air hit her lungs and she doubled over. Her skin tingled as knots grew in her belly, making her anxious. My mother is dead? No it can’t be! She covered her face as the last image of her mother filled her mind. When Naveen tried to stand, her head spun and Slone kept her up as she stared at the concrete under her feet.
We don’t have to become the guardian; we could just stay in the human realm, her beast suggested, but it left a sour taste in her mouth. Her mother’s death may have been abrupt, but giving up her role as protector wouldn’t bring her mom back.
“I can get you home, now.” Slone’s voice broke her focus on the sidewalk.
“How?” Her high-pitched voice had her wincing internally. She licked her lower lip, hating the ache coursing through her soul. She had a choice to give up and not be a guardian, but the rest of her family would disown her and the thought of disappointing her dead mother just made the pain stronger. If she gave up and refused to be a guardian, her pain would stay the same but her connections to her loved ones would shatter like glass. No, she needed to be strong and become a guardian to make her mother proud. I just wish I had more freaking time! A tear rolled down her face and her beast whimpered with her head down.
“I have a trick, but you can’t tell anyone about it.” He grabbed her hands and walked to the alleyway behind the bar. A bartender sauntered inside seconds later after tossing her cigarette to the ground.
“Why do you want to help me?” She met his gaze and he gently grabbed her hair. Green strands instead of her natural blonde covered his fingers. “Oh goodness, it really is true.” She swallowed hard. Her mother’s voice filtered into her mind: When the guardianship is passed down, your hair will turn green like mine.

Last week's City Hall rally to save after school programs.
As the haggling continues in Albany over the state’s budget, members of the City Council are gearing up for the big fights ahead once it becomes clear what programs will be cut and how deeply. It’s been clear for months now that all kinds of services – senior centers, after school programs, schools, fire houses, – will be hit hard. This week, the state narrowly averted a government shutdown. And lawmakers have now agreed to vote on portions of the budget (transportation, public safety, economic development).
Finally, tomorrow at 5pm, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is organizing a protest at Cooper Union, where the Rent Guidelines Board is holding a public hearing. A similar hearing in Queens yesterday drew a small crowd.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. This year has been a tough one for me. I have experienced more loss and grief in the past 12 months than I could ever imagine. And I have known friends who have experienced the same.
At the time, when these things were happening, I asked all the same questions featured in those thin pamphlets about grief: why was this happening to me? Why can't I have a break? Why are the people I love being taken away from me? I began to think that my good fortune brought bad luck. So whenever anything "good" happened to me, I'd be terrified. I thought that I was being punished.
So I tried to bargain. "I'll do X if it means that X doesn't die," I pleaded with the universe. "I'll give up X if you keep X safe," I muttered under my breath on my walk home from the tube, talking to the sky. People must have thought I was insane. I kept this bargaining up for a while until it was clear that, well, that's just not how life works.
I had to relinquish control.
Then I came to the stage of acceptance. I accepted that I had no control over these tragic events. That they weren't a result of something that I did or did not do. Were they senseless? Unjust? Unfair? Of course. But it wasn't my fault.
After I accepted this, I tried to find gratitude in these experiences. It was hard. When I was hurting and suffering the most, my friends and my husband told me, "You'll get through this, you're strong." But I hated hearing that, because I didn't feel strong. I didn't feel like I could get through it. "I can't," I wept. Then I gritted my teeth and I did. Not out of anger, but out of determination.
I was also grateful for these friends, both old and new, who told me I could do it. Who sat at my front door with bagfuls of groceries waiting for me to get home from work so they could stay with me after a funeral when John was travelling. Who brought me a plant with a note that said, "Fresh start." Who texted me to say, "I'm thinking of you today! It's okay to be sad!" Who did not leave me alone.
I was grateful for you: you, who gave me permission to think aloud on this blog, alongside my jarring posts about trips abroad and pretty bracelets and indulgent supper clubs. You, who shared with me your own stories of loss and grief - some of which were so moving, I cried silently while reading them.
So, today, I am thankful for this year. I will not think of this year as the "terrible year". I will think of this year as the year I realized my own strength.
And I will be grateful for it.
Jaime, I'm so sorry you've had such a difficult year, but as usual you deal with it so gracefully here on the blog. I just wanted to say that I don't think trips abroad and pretty bracelets and indulgent supper clubs are jarring in comparison with thoughts on grief and deeper subjects - that's what life really is.
A collection of moments, some dark, some pretty, some warm, some sharp and terrible. They're all scattered through our days with no easy segue between them. I find it refreshing to read about them in that jumble - because to some extent we're all trying to come to terms with the same mix of emotions and the same seemingly incompatible circumstances.
Happy Thanksgiving - I hope you have a wonderful day.
"I will think of this year as the year I realized my own strength."
it's the job (and honor) of your friends and family to remind you of this, because we knew it all along.
<3 this brought tears to my eyes. thank you.
Another beatiful piece. I'm so thankful for you, and for our friendship. Thinking of you as always, friend!

The washer machine mod WM is a double action washer for washing various types of fruit, vegetables and mushrooms. Thank to the delicate high flow action applied by the washer, it is possible to mix different products. The washer consists of a stainless steel tank divided into several sections according to the capacity; the first performs washing and in the last a flexible mesh belt transfers the product and gently begins dewatering. A motorised paddle is used to adjust the flow of the product inside the unit, to break and to dip the floating layer in combined action with the perforated drum which allows a perfect removal of much of the foreign material (insects, wood portions, plastic, etc.). The washing water is constantly recycled through the incorporated self-cleaning rotary filter.

Each week brings task lists, emails, files, and new jobs. Just how much of this is different from the work you’ve done? Odds are, not much. A number of our day-to-day tasks are variations on something we’ve done hundreds of times before.
Do not reinvent the wheel each time you start something fresh. Use templates–as starting point for 17, standardized documents with formatting and text. As soon as you save another variant of the template add, remove, or alter any data for that record that is exceptional, and you’ll have the work.
Templates work anywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management apps, survey programs, and also email. Here is the way to use templates from your favorite apps–and to generate documents from a template–so it’s possible to get your tasks quicker.
Programs take the time to build, and it’s easy to wonder whether they are worth the investment. The answer: absolutely. Editing a template requires much less time than formatting something. It’s the distinction between retyping it, or copying and pasting some text.
That’s not the only advantage: Using a template means you’re less inclined to leave out key information, also. For instance, if you want to send freelance writers a contributor agreement, changing a standard contract template (instead of writing a new contract every time) guarantees you won’t depart out that crucial clause about possessing the material as soon as you’ve paid for this.
Templates additionally guarantee consistency. Maybe you send clients or investors regular job updates. Using a template, you know the update will constantly have the exact same formatting, layout, and arrangement.
Imagine you are developing a template of your resume. You’d want to record facts about your responsibilities and accomplishments, and that means you are going to have.
Some tools will automatically fill in all these factors for you (more on this in a little ). But should you have to fill in the data on your own, add some text that’s obvious and easy to look for so it is possible to locate text that needs to be changed without a lot of effort.

The saying goes that the best code is no code. As soon as a project starts to grow, technical debt is introduced. When a team is forced to adapt to a new company guideline inconsistent with their previous vision, the debt results from a business decision. This could be tackled at the company level. Sometimes technical debt can arise simply due to the passage of time, when new versions of dependencies or of the compiler introduce breaking changes. You can try to tackle this by letting your local physicist stop the flow of time. More often however, technical debt is caused when issues are fixed by a quick hack, due to time pressure or a lack of knowledge of the code base. Design strategies that were carefully crafted are temporarily neglected. This blog post will focus on using the const modifier. It is one of the convenient tools D offers to minimize the increase of technical debt and enforce design decisions.
To keep a code base consistent, often design guidelines, either explicit or implicit, are put in place. Every developer on the team is expected to adhere to the guidelines as a gentleman’s agreement. This effectively results in a policy that is only enforced if both the programmer and the reviewer have had enough coffee. Simple changes, like adding a call to an object method, might seem innocent, but can reduce the consistency and the traceability of errors. To detect this in a code review requires in-depth knowledge of the method’s implementation.
An example from a real world project I’ve worked on is generating financial transactions for a read-only view, the display function in the following code fragment. Nothing seemed wrong with it, until I realized that those transactions were persisted and eventually used for actual payments without being calculated again, as seen in the process method. Potentially different payments occurred depending on whether the user decided to glance at the summary, thereby triggering the generation with new currency exchange rates, or just blindly clicked the OK button. That’s not what an innocent bystander like myself expects and has caused many frowns already.
The internet has taught me that if it is possible, it will one day happen. Therefore, we should make an attempt to make the undesired impossible.
By default, variables and object instances in D are mutable, just like in many other programming languages. If we want to prevent objects from ever changing, we can mark them immutable, i.e. immutable MyClass obj = new MyClass();. immutable means that we can modify neither the object reference (head constant) nor the object’s properties (tail constant). The first case corresponds to final in Java and readonly in C#, both of which signify head constant only. D’s implementation means that nobody can ever modify an object marked immutable. What if an object needs to be mutable in one place, but immutable in another? That’s where D’s const pops in.
Unlike immutable, whose contract states that an object cannot be mutated through any reference, const allows an object to be modified through another, non-const reference. This means it’s illegal to initialize an immutable reference with a mutable one, but a const reference can be initialized with a mutable, const, or immutable reference. In a function parameter list, const is preferred over immutable because it can accept arguments with either qualifier or none. Schematically, it can be visualized as in the following figure.
The next example shows what head constant looks like in C++.
We can read the declaration of cp2 as: cp2 is a const pointer to a mutable int. There is no equivalent in D. It’s possible in C++ to have any number and combination of const and mutable pointers to const or mutable data. But in D, if const is applied to the outermost pointer, then it applies to all the inner pointers and the data as well. Or, as they say, it’s turtles all the way down.
const in the examples can be replaced with immutable, with the caveat that initializers must match the declaration, e.g. immutable(int)* can only be initialized with immutable(int)*.
Finally, note that classes in D are reference types; the reference is baked in, so applying const or immutable to a class reference is always equivalent to const(p*) and there is no equivalent to const(p)* for classes. Structs in D, on the other hand, are value types, so pointers to structs can be declared like the int pointers in the examples above.
For the sake of argument, we assume that updating the currency exchange rates is a function that, by definition, needs to mutate the order. After updating the order, we want to show the updated prices to our user. Conceptually, the display function should not modify the order. We can prevent mutation by adding the const modifier to our function parameter. The implicit rule is now made explicit: the function takes an Order as input, and treats the object as a constant. We no longer have a gentleman’s agreement, but a formal contract. Changing the contract will, hopefully, require thorough negotiation with your peer reviewer.
display(order); // Implicitly converted to const.
As with all contracts, defining it is the easiest part. The hard part is enforcing it. The D compiler is our friend in this problem. If we try to compile the code, we will get a compiler error.
We never explicitly stated that getTransactions doesn’t modify the object. As the method is virtual by default, the compiler cannot derive the behavior either way. Without that knowledge, the compiler is required to assume that the method might modify the object. In other words, in the D justice system one is guilty until proven innocent. Let’s prove our innocence by marking the method itself const, telling the compiler that we do not intend to modify our data.
By marking the method const, the original compile error has moved away. The promise that we do not modify any object state is part of the method signature. The compiler is now satisfied with the method call in the display function, but finds another problem. Our getter, which we stated should not modify data, actually does modify it. We found our code smell by formalizing our guidelines and letting the compiler figure out the rest.
It seems promising enough to try it on a real project.
I had a pet project lying around and decided to put the effort into enforcing the constraint. This is what inspired me to write this post. The project is a four-player mahjong game. The relevant part, in abstraction, is highlighted in the image.
The main engine behind the game is the white box in the center. A player or AI is sent a message with a const view of the game data for display purposes and to determine their next move. A message is sent back to the engine, which then determines the mutation on the internally mutable game data. The most obvious win is that I cannot accidentally modify the game data when drawing my UI. Which, of course, appeared to be the case before I refactored in the const-ness of the game data.
Upon closer inspection, coming from the UI there is only one way to manipulate the state of the game. The UI sends a message to the engine and remains oblivious of the state changes that need to be applied. This also encourages layered development and improves testability of the code. So far, so good. But during the refactoring, a problem arose. Recall that marking an object with const means that only member functions that promise not to modify the object, those marked with const themselves, can be called. Some of these could be trivially fixed by applying const or, at worst, inout (a sort of wildcard). However, the more persistent issues, like in the Order example, required me to go back to the drawing board and rethink my domain. In the end, being forced to think about mutability versus immutability improved my understanding of my own code base.
Is const all good? It’s not a universal answer and certainly has downsides. The most notable one is that this kills lazy initialization where a property is computed only when first requested and then the result is cached. Sometimes, like in the earlier example, this is a code smell, but there are legit use cases. In my game, I have a class that composes the dashboard per player. Updating it is expensive and rarely required. The screen, however, gets rendered sixty times a second. It makes sense to cache the dashboards and only update them when the player objects change. I could split the method in two, but then my abstraction would leak its optimization. I settled for not using const here, as it was a module-private class and didn’t have a large impact on my codebase.
A complaint that is sometimes heard regarding const is that it does not work well with one of D’s main selling points, ranges. A range is D’s implementation of a lazy iterator, usable in foreach loops and heavily used in std.algorithm. The functions in std.algorithm can handle ranges with const elements perfectly fine. However, iterating a range changes the internal values and ultimately consumes the range. Therefore, when a range itself is const, it cannot be iterated over. I think this makes sense by design, but I can imagine that this behavior can be surprising in edge cases. I haven’t encountered this as I generate new ranges on every query, both on mutable and const objects.
A guideline for when to use const would be to separate the queries from the command, a.k.a. ye olde Command-Query Separation (CQS). All queries should, in principle, be const. To perform a mutation, even on nested objects, one should call a method on the object. I’d double down on this and state that member functions should be commands, with logic that can be overridden, and therefore never be marked constant. Queries basically serve as a means to peek at encapsulated data and don’t need to be overridden. This should be a final, non-virtual, function that simply exposes a read-only view on the inner field. For example, using D’s module-private modifier on the field in conjunction with an acquainted function in the same module, we can put the logic inside the class definition and the queries outside.
We should take care, however, not to overapply the modifier. The question that we need to answer is not “Do I modify this object here?”, but rather, “Does it make sense that the object is modified here?” Wrongly assuming constant objects will result in trouble when you finally need to change the instance due to a new feature. For example, in my game a central Game class contains the players’ hands, but doesn’t explicitly modify them. However, given the structure of my code, it does not make sense to make the player objects constant, as free functions in the engine do use mutable player instances of the game object.
Reflecting on my design, even when writing this blog post, gave me valuable insights. Taking the effort to properly use the tool called const has paid off for me. It improved the structure of my code and improved my understanding of the ramblings I write. It is like any other tool not a silver bullet. It serves to formalize our gentleman’s agreement and is therefore just as fragile as one.

David Blunkett has confirmed the Home Office overspent on its immigration budget last year by over £600m.
The home secretary said the original budget was set at £403m, but the actual cost was £1,052m.
The Sunday Telegraph has predicted the overspend at the end of this financial year could total £1bn - a figure described as "terrifying" by the Tories.
A Home Office spokesman admitted the department's budget was "unlikely to cover costs" this year, but said no official estimate of the overspend had been released.
Mr Blunkett said the government was not concealing last year's overspend, which have been laid in the House of Commons library.
He added: "I am working, as everyone knows, to dramatically cut down the cost for this year."
He agreed the overspend was down to an inefficient process for dealing with asylum seekers.
But said: "It is a damn sight more efficient than in 1997.
"Then the average turnaround was 20 months, it is now a year and 70% of the cases over the last two months have gone through the initial decision-making process in the target time of two months."
But he said things were "not good enough", blaming both the "lengthy appeals process" and the first decision hurdle for slowing down the situation.
Using figures for the last financial year, The Sunday Telegraph has estimated that £1,474m will be spent in 2002-3 rather than the £434m budgeted.
Letwin: Asylum costs have "spiralled"
Shadow home secretary Oliver Letwin reportedly said the figures showed the UK's asylum system had "spiralled completely out of control".
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Simon Hughes said: "If the Home Office has not allocated enough money to deal with asylum seekers, then that is a result of bad Home Office planning."
High bills for dealing with immigration and nationality was in part due to "incompetent administration", he said, letting a backlog to build up over many years.
If it did overspend, the Home Office will have to apply for Treasury reserves.
The paper's estimate was based on official figures released by the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) - an arm of the Home Office.
Mr Letwin reportedly told the Sunday Times this year's predicted £1bn overspend could pay for "an extra 30,000 policemen".
Speaking later to the BBC, Mr Letwin suggested that other countries should be persuaded to accept responsibility for more of the asylum seekers that eventually come to Britain.
"If we had a proper set of bilateral agreements - in particular with France - and if the numbers of asylum seekers coming to this country dropped to the level of the applications in France, then a huge proportion, almost half, of the sums we're talking about would be saved."
Mr Blunkett said: "In the end we have got to do something in terms of asylum appeals but also in alternative routes to enter this country."
To this end, he said the government was doubling the number of work permits issued.
"This enables people to sustain themselves, contribute to the economy ... and of course be integrated into society," he said.
The IND budget pays for benefits for asylum seekers, reimburses local authorities and also funds the UK Immigration Service and the National Asylum Support Service.
"I am working now... to dramatically cut the costs for this year"

While the social media giant claims to be fighting fake news through Facebook Fact checkers, the system is very much in line with the very controversial EU Article 13.
Facebook teams up with third-party “fact checkers” and is in the process build a machine learning system to cross-check information on visuals floating on the platform. They’re expanding the fact-checking system of photos and videos to 27 partners in 17 countries around the world.
Along with memes and offensive posts, a lot of fake news, manipulated content, fabricated reports and photoshopped pictures are spread around the platform. This is done by users to fulfill their motives, political or otherwise.
The company recently launched Rosetta, an Artificial Intelligence system to filter out abusive or offensive content wandering around which would help the screening process.
Just under half of the world’s population is currently on the internet right now and with 2 billion active users on the platform itself, it’s comparatively easy to influence or manipulate a larger audience with a sham.
Engagement on such news have increased in the recent years. Not that people on social media are naive, but in this bizarre world, bizarre news seem to make sense to them.
The machine learning model uses various engagement signals, including feedback from people on Facebook, to identify potentially false content. Facebook then sends those photos and videos to fact-checkers for their review, or fact-checkers can surface content on their own.
Many of these third-party fact-checking partners have expertise evaluating photos and videos and are trained in visual verification techniques, such as reverse image searching and analyzing image metadata, like when and where the photo or video was taken. Fact-checkers are able to assess the truth or falsity of a photo or video by combining these skills with other journalistic practices, like using research from experts, academics or government agencies.
What counts as a false photo or video?
What’s different about photos and videos?
Based on research with people around the world, false news spreads in many different forms, varying from country to country. For example, in the US, people say they see more misinformation in articles, whereas in Indonesia, people say they see more misleading photos. However, these categories are not distinct. The same hoax can travel across different content types, so it’s important to build defenses against misinformation across articles, as well as photos and videos.
Rosetta and now the fact-checking machinery for photos and videos on Facebook, come close on the heals of the much heated debate around EU Copyright Directive’s Article 11 and Article 13. According to the Article 13, also being called the “upload filter” demands social media giants to filter copyrighted material. This would mean going through every single image, video, GIF, and other forms on content on the platform to not be in violate of Article 13.
How these fact-checkers help in filtering copyrighted content and deal with the issue of false news will indeed be interesting to see.

It may not look like it, but the 2017 Ford GT was designed in several ways to be an everyday supercar. Or atleast a practical one supercar. Now, Ford equipped the GT with five drive modes that alter the throttle response, damping, aerodynamics, ride height, and a host of other features based on driving conditions.
The automaker has released an infographic showing the five modes and when to use them. In Normal mode, the 2017 Ford GT can achieve a ground clearance of 120 millimeters, prevents shutting down the traction and stability controls, and offers standard and available comfort damping. Its rear wing deploys at 90 mph and at the same time acts as an airbrake when needed.
The wet mode will keep most of the default settings, but throttle control is adjusted to limited when the sliding and launch control isn't available. But the Sport mode opens up the throttle, changes gears more faster, brings out the rear wing at a speed more than 70 mph, and activates turbocharger anti-lag.
The other two modes complement more intense driving. The Track mode lowers the ride height around 50 millimeters, offers the firmest possible damping, increases spring rates, and closes the aerdynamic opening in front for maximum downforce all can be done in under 2 seconds.
Lastly, the V-Max mode helps the drivers to achieve the fastest straight-line speed. This feature can shutdown all aerodynamic elements and keeps stability control active. Drivers need to set the transmission to Park before accessing the Track and V-Max modes.
Derek Bier, Ford GT manager, said, "We focused on simplifying the experience. Optimizing this car for just about any situation was critical, because ensuring owners always enjoy driving it was a top priority."
The 2017 Ford GT is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that delivers 647 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. It can reach a top speed of 216 mph. Ford also is planning on offering over 1,000 units of the carbon fiber supercar.

Peak Energy: The Enronisation Of The Oil Market ?
The Enronisation Of The Oil Market ?
BP, already beset with a leaky pipeline, a federal investigation into a refinery fire, and litigation over its activity in the propane market, is facing yet more scrutiny—but this time it might have company.
According to news reports, federal authorities are investigating whether the energy giant manipulated crude-oil and unleaded gasoline markets. BP (BP), according to the same reports, said it is cooperating with both probes.
NOT ILLEGAL. The investigations come at a time when banks and other financial institutions are rushing into the sizzling energy sector—both snapping up hard assets and pouring money into commodities markets—with the hopes of making big profits. Meanwhile, members of Congress, facing November elections and a restless electorate, are looking at whether energy companies and speculators are partly responsible for pushing up energy prices.
In the crude-oil case, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission is investigating whether BP used proprietary information about its own distribution and storage network to manipulate oil and gasoline prices.
Making commodity trades based on information about company operations isn't new, nor is it illegal, which is one reason banks and other big financial institutions in recent years have been snapping up chunks of the nation's energy infrastructure, including pipelines, storage tanks, and refineries. In 2003, the Federal Reserve helped fuel the trend by allowing commercial banks to take possession of physical assets such as oil in storage tanks.
OWNERSHIP IS "KEY." Now everyone is doing it. Goldman Sachs (GS) is a leading example, with a stake in a Kansas oil refinery and a natural gas pipeline running through New York and Connecticut, among other holdings. In hedge fund circles, a Ritchie Capital fund owns 25% of SemGroup, a Tulsa energy-services company that operates pipelines, terminals, storage tanks, and processing plants. Banks, pension funds, and insurers also are getting in on the act: John Hancock Life Insurance, for example, has invested in Boston-based ArcLight Capital, which has large holdings in energy storage and distribution facilities.
Fuel storage tanks, pipelines, and the like are highly regulated and generally can't always be counted on to yield whopping returns. But they hold enormous value nonetheless, because they give their owners and investors access to proprietary information on oil and gas deliveries, storage capacity, and other critical market data that can be used to make smart commodities trades.
The Terminator, for all his flaws, seems to be doing the right thing on global warming - instituting a cap and trade system for carbon emissions in California.
California will become the first state to impose a cap on all greenhouse gas emissions, including those from industrial plants, under a landmark deal reached Wednesday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative Democrats.
It also gives Schwarzenegger a key environmental victory as he seeks re-election this fall. "We can now move forward with developing a market-based system that makes California a world leader in the effort to reduce carbon emissions," the governor said in a statement. "The success of our system will be an example for other states and nations to follow as the fight against climate change continues."
Following on from APPEA president Belinda Robinson's dismissal of peak oil hype in her letter to Crikey this week, I was more than a bit amused to read this transcript from the Senate Inquiry into Fuel Supplies (pdf) this month, where she demonstrated that she knows pretty much nothing about oil depletion modelling or oil reserves - she would seem to be simply an industry lobbyist responsible for keeping governmnet reulation of exploration relaxed (Thanks to Dave from STCWA for pointing this one out).
Senator JOYCE — We had Dr Ali Samsam Bakhtiari speaking to us at the previous inquiry. He gave the analysis that China, for instance, will go anywhere for oil, or do whatever it can to acquire the product. He also touched on an issue, which I would like you to clarify. He said he believed that there are up to 26 billion barrels of oil in Antarctica. Do you believe that is a possibility? Is it exploitable? And is any of this resource within the 42 per cent of the Antarctic that Australia claims to be its own?
Ms Robinson — There are two parts to my answer. The first is that I do not know. We have not done any assessment whatsoever on Antarctic reserves. The other part of the answer would be that it is probably not in our charter to say whether or not it would be of any interest. The Australian resources in Antarctica are owned by the Australian people and ultimately it will be the Australian people’s decision as to whether or not anyone was going to move in there. I would have to say, just from a personal point of view, I cannot imagine that to be the case. But it has never been an issue that has been discussed by any of my members or within APPEA so I am afraid I cannot give you an answer to that.
Senator JOYCE — The problem is there are a lot of other countries that do not believe it is ours. There are a whole raft of countries that do not believe that we have any territorial right to where those resources are and that is the issue I am getting at. It is not going to be a decision of the Australian government; it is going to be the decision of another person’s government. What sort of effect do you think a blending of petroleum based products would have on the horizon of oil and the horizon of usage of oil? Do you think there is a reasonable extension on the horizon of oil utilisation in internal combustion engines by blending with biorenewable products?
Ms Robinson — Those downstream issues do not really fall within our area of responsibility. We really only focus on exploration and production and that takes you to the pipe. We do not really work on downstream related issues. Any statements that I make in that regard are more personal opinions. I would say that at a general level anything that can extend or prolong, delay or help make the bridge from where we are at the moment to what may be a very different energy future is worth exploring, whatever that is. That said, I also note Samsam Bakhtiari’s comments about some of the downsides of things like ethanol and some of the other implications that would certainly need to be taken into account in that regard—water usage, displacing land for food and those sorts of things. As I say, that is really not in our charter of responsibility.
Senator JOYCE — Do you agree with Dr Bakhtiari’s statement that the horizon they see for the price of a barrel of oil where people would stop using it is about $300 per barrel?
Ms Robinson — I am not being very helpful for you, I am afraid, but we are also not a forecaster. We do not really look at those issues at all, and there are good, very well-paid people who try and forecast the price of oil and what that will ultimately do, and they do lots of modelling—ABARE is one of them. I am not in a position to be able to say what price of oil it would take before people stop. That said, from reading Bakhtiari’s statements to the committee I am not sure to what extent he took other petroleum based products into account, like shale oil and alternative oil supplies. I think there are so many complexities there in doing a modelling exercise like that, and there are agencies who are paid a lot of money to do it. And I would suggest—and I am sure you are already are—asking those forecasting agencies to comment.
WorldChanging has a post on the scaricty of fresh water and the need for agricultural practices to achieve "More Crop Per Drop" (which, as David Foley suggested, would be better titled "Less Drops Per Crop").
Some of the news might not surprise long-time observers. For example, the report estimates that one out of three people living on the planet currently suffer from a scarcity of water in their daily lives. This is terrifying, but consistent with the statistics published for years by the United Nations. But a more important element from the report concerns water usage.
IWMI found that, if we continue to apply current water manageent practices, by 2050 the global agricultural sector will need to double the amount of water to grow the food we eat. The researchers found that such a hurdle actually is consistent with historical trends as water usage has increased by an estimated six times in the past 100 years. Nonetheless, it remains a staggering proposition. Agriculture already uses 70 percent of the global water supply. Imagine a scenario where its consumption must grow 200% simply to satisfy the basic hunger of the planet.
Another alarming finding is the impact of bio-fuels on the world water crisis. As we all know, a range of factors – Middle East turmoil, spiraling oil prices, the inconvenient truth of climate change – are driving a worldwide quest for more sustainable resources. Yet, this accelerating campaign to pursue alternative energies, biodegradable packaging, etc. from sources such as corn, sugarcane and other crops dramatically will increase the burden on natural systems. It seems a cruel Hobson’s choice for environmentalists and other concerned individuals who care about sustainabiltiy. Nonetheless, the advent of widespreads bio-fuels could add even more stress to our shrinking water resources.
George Monbiot has a dim view of a plan to mitigate global warming by deliberately encouraging the "global dimming " effect via delberate sulphate emissions into the stratosphere.
Crutzen is, as you would expect, a brilliant man. He was one of the atmospheric chemists who worked out how high-level ozone is formed and destroyed. He knows more than almost anyone about the impacts of pollutants in the atmosphere. This is what makes his omission so odd.
At the beginning of August, he published an essay in the journal Climatic Change. He argues that the world’s response to climate change has so far been “grossly disappointing”. Stabilising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, he asserts, requires a global reduction in emissions of between 60 and 80 per cent. But at the moment “this looks like a pious wish”. So, he proposes, we must start considering the alternatives, by which he means re-engineering the atmosphere in order to cool the earth.
He suggests we use either giant guns or balloons to inject sulphur into the stratosphere, 10 kilometres or more above the surface of the earth. Sulphur dioxide at that height turns into tiny particles – or aerosols – of sulphate. These reflect sunlight back into space, counteracting the warming caused by manmade climate change.
Crutzen recognises that there are problems. The sulphate particles would slightly reduce the thickness of the ozone layer. They would cause some whitening of the sky. Most dangerously, his scheme could be used by governments to help justify their failure to cut carbon emissions: if the atmosphere could one day be fixed by some heavy artillery and a few technicians, why bother to impose unpopular policies?
Global warming is make some people happy - potato farmers in Greenland. Maybe all the climate change refugees can head there ?
Known for its massive ice sheets, Greenland is feeling the effects of global warming as rising temperatures have expanded the island's growing season and crops are flourishing. For the first time in hundreds of years, it has become possible to raise cattle and start dairy farms.
Ferdinand Egede would be a perfectly normal farmer if it weren't for that loud cracking noise. Wearing a plaid lumberjack shirt and overalls, he hurries through the precise rows of his potato field, beads of sweat running down his forehead.
Egede, 49, occasionally picks up a handful of earth and rubs it between his solid fingers, but he isn't at all satisfied with the results. "It's much too dry," he says. "If I don't get the irrigation going, I'll lose my harvest."
The cracking noise has turned into a roar. What's happening in the sea below Egede's fields doesn't square well with what one would normally associate with rural life. The sound is that of an iceberg breaking apart, with pieces of it tumbling into the foaming sea.
Egede, a Greenland potato farmer, has little time to admire the view. He spends most of his days working in the fields and looking at the dramatically steep table mountains at the end of the fjord and the blue and white icebergs in the bay. But today he's more concerned about a broken water pipe. "The plants need a lot of water," he says, explaining that the soil here is very sandy, a result of glacier activity.
But he could still have a decent harvest. He pulled 20 tons of potatoes from the earth last summer, and his harvests have been growing larger each year. "It's already staying warm until November now," says Egede.
Rob at Transition Culture has an intriguing post about Engaging Magic and Wonder in Energy Descent preparation - I hadn't heard about this elephants adventure in London, but tis pretty cool.
“Magic” and “wonder”. Not words we read too often in the peak oil literature. I contend, however, that if we are actually to engage people in energy descent as a positive transition on the necessary scale, we need to work magic and wonder into what we do. My mum recently passed on to me a video of an amazing thifrom BBC4 of a thing that happened a few months ago in London, called “The Sultan’s Elephant”, a huge piece of street theatre by the French theatrical magicians Royal de Luxe that took place in the capital in early May. The whole thing was prepared in the greatest secrecy, and took people by surprise, and the event that unfolded over the next 4 days brought magic and wonder to millions of people, and the film about it, I confess, brought tears to my eyes.
Jamais at Open The Future has an interesting post on the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability project and some scenario planning he participated in.
The Hawaii 2050 Sustainability project is remarkably ambitious, seeking to create, over the course of the next 18 months, an entirely new planning strategy for the state's next half-century. This strategy will shape how the state handles a tourist economy, a swelling population, friction between cultures and, most importantly, an increasingly dangerous climate and environment.
Saturday's event kicked off the process, mixing a variety of traditional presentations on Hawaii's major dilemmas with four immersive scenarios created by Dr. Jim Dator, Jake Dunagan and Stuart Candy at the University of Hawaii's Graduate Research Center for Future Studies. ... The four scenarios represented a diverse array of possible futures for the state, and included a high-growth world, a limited-growth outcome, a collapse scenario, and a near-Singularity possibility. Participants each stepped into two of the four, and had an opportunity to discuss and evaluate one of the two they saw.
The goal of the scenario presentations was to illustrate different possible outcomes, giving the participants a context in which to think about their present-day issues around sustainability. This can be a powerful technique, as it reminds us that choices have consequences, but that sometimes events outside of our control can shape how our choices play out. Scenarios remind us of the complexity of history, by showing how that complexity can evolve in the days and years to come.
The two scenarios I encountered were the near-Singularity world and the collapse world. In the first, nanotechnology, biotechnology and a broad enthusiasm for human and social enhancement technologies allowed widespread radical longevity, thriving colonies on the Moon and Mars, and near-complete management of geophysical processes on Earth. With one minor exception (the existence of point-to-point teleportation), this was, if anything, a fairly conservative take on the Singularity scenario, but the near-universal reaction I witnessed from participants was fear and displeasure. Few of the participants wanted the kinds of enhancement technologies offered in the scenario dramatization, and all lamented the decline of the "natural" world and local culture. I noted at the time that I was the youngest person in my sub-group(!), and easily in the youngest 10% of the conference as a whole; I do wonder what the reaction to this scenario would have been from a larger younger-person contingent.
The near-Singularity scenario was presented in a fairly tongue-in-cheek fashion, and even those who found the world unsettling left the room in relatively good humor. This carried over to the second world my group saw, the collapse scenario, positing an independent, militarized, and resurgent royalist Hawaii struggling to deal with a peak-oil energy collapse, climate disaster, and global economic meltdown. One person stated quite vocally that he found the conceit offensive, but most participants accepted the scenario's elements -- it may have been a dangerous, depressing world, but it was more familiar than one with rejuvenation biotechnology, nanofabbers and Mars colonies!
I'm told, however, that those who entered the collapse scenario first were fairly traumatized by the presentation (attendees were treated as newly-arrived refugees), and this shock carried through when they swapped over to the near-Singularity world.
The main caution I have about the set of scenarios is the translation from "this is a world of tomorrow" to "these are choices you'll have to make about tomorrow." The collapse world had a clearer pathway from the present than did the near-Singularity world -- and in some ways, that makes sense -- but all would have been better-served with a minimal set of bullet-point-style summaries outlining which choices and dilemmas today lead to or militate against the various scenarios. It's too easy for participants, when confronted by future stories that are too disturbing, to wave them off as impossible or "silly" if they don't have explicit links to the present.
BBC Radio 4 has an upcoming series on peak oil called "Driven By Oil".
Oil has meant mastery throughout the 20th Century. It is the world's biggest and most pervasive business, and 'the' strategic commodity on the world stage.
Tom Mangold explores the biggest debate facing the oil industry today - will we run out of oil, and if so, when?
I know TJ Rodgers winds up some readers (thats you WHT), but nevertheless I like the solar industry, so I'll give a mild nod of approval to "Silicon Valley entrepeneur Rodgers develops solar, believes in peak oil" (via Energy Bulletin).
Controversial Silicon Valley maverick T.J. Rodgers is suddenly high tech's biggest champion of alternative energy. Does it matter that he's ultimately in it for the money? Or that he can't stand environmentalists? He certainly doesn't think so.
...Rodgers is one of those rare Silicon Valley entrepreneurs colorful enough to make the jump from the obscure dreariness of the valley's business pages. He was dubbed "one of America's toughest bosses" by Fortune. And there was the infamous incident in which Rodgers publicly and unapologetically skewered a nun who demanded he include more women and minorities on the board of Cypress Semiconductor, the company he's run since 1982.
He made waves again when he called the federal government's post-9/11 curtailment of civil liberties a bigger threat to America's freedom than any threat "posed by Al-Qaida" in the op-ed pages of the Mercury News. He's also courted controversy with his public criticism of hobnobbing with government officials to win tech subsidies, and his still-ongoing feud with residents in La Honda about a vineyard he's building on the region's hilly terrain.
But these days, Rodgers is raising eyebrows with his foray into alternative energy, namely solar power.
...Rodgers, now at the helm of a company that is widely considered to produce the highest efficiency solar cells in the world, is not ultimately motivated by the same green impulse that drives pushers of solar as an alternative energy. He's unabashedly in it for the money.
...This is not to say that Rodgers doesn't accept the fact that resources dwindle. In fact, he's a big believer in what's known as Peak Oil theory. The theory, put forth by M. King Hubbert, a Shell Oil consultant in the 1950s, predicted that the world's oil production would peak in 2000 and then fall. Hubbert also correctly predicted that domestic oil production would peak at about 1970. Rodgers thinks that Hubbert may be off on world oil production by a few years (many Peak Oil theory advocates now say production will peak in 2010), but he is still right that it will peak. What Rodgers doesn't buy is the vision of the movement's main current spokesman, Richard Heinberg, a faculty member of the New College of California in San Francisco, who envisions catastrophic consequences for humanity-picture a devolution to agrarian lifestyles and vicious resource wars-once oil production peaks.
Somewhat surprisingly, Donald Rumsfeld is warning us of the danger of fascism. It turns out he hasn't looked into a mirror though - he's prattling on about Islamic fundamentalists again.
THE US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, has compared Bush Administration critics to those who sought to appease the Nazis before World War II, warning that the US is confronting "a new type of fascism".
Mr Rumsfeld, speaking at an American Legion convention in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, delivered some of his most explicit and extended attacks yet on the Administration's critics, provoking an angry response from Democrats who accused him of "campaigning on fear".
By comparing US foreign policy with World War II and the Cold War, Mr Rumsfeld sought to portray sceptics of the Bush foreign policy as being on the wrong side of history.
Mr Rumsfeld again ridiculed US officials who, before World War II, wished to negotiate with Adolf Hitler. "I recount that history because, once again, we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism," he said. "But some seem not to have learned history's lessons. Can we truly afford to believe that, somehow or someway, vicious extremists could be appeased?"
His use of the word "appease" is seen as an attempt to associate critics of the Administration with the failed efforts of the British government to mollify Hitler in the 1930s.
Mr Rumsfeld is one of the Bush Administration's most divisive figures, and demands for his resignation have become a litmus test in congressional races around the country as Iraq confronts deepening violence and civil strife.
Keith Olbermann makes the fairly blunt case that Rumsfeld is one of the fascists we should be worrying about.
The confusion we — as its citizens - must now address, is stark and forbidding. But variations of it have faced our forefathers, when men like Nixon and McCarthy and Curtis LeMay have darkened our skies and obscured our flag. Note - with hope in your heart - that those earlier Americans always found their way to the light… and we can, too.
And about Mr. Rumsfeld’s other main assertion, that this country faces a "new type of fascism.
He was correct to remind us how a government that knew everything could get everything wrong, so too was he right when he said that — though probably not in the way he thought he meant it.
Although I presumptuously use his sign-off each night, in feeble tribute… I have utterly no claim to the words of the exemplary journalist Edward R. Murrow.
But never in the trial of a thousand years of writing could I come close to matching how he phrased a warning to an earlier generation of us, at a time when other politicians thought they (and they alone) knew everything, and branded those who disagreed, "confused" or "immoral."
"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty," he said, in 1954. "We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear - one, of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of un-reason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men; Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were - for the moment - unpopular."
Thom Hartmann was on the case before Rummy started his latest diatribe - while he's not so sure about this Islamofascism stuff, he is nevertheless worried about Republican fascism.
On the right, The John Birch Society's website editor recently opined of the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretap program: "This is to say that from the administration's perspective, the president is, in effect, our living constitution. This is, in a specific and unmistakable sense, fascist."
On the left, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. specifically indicts the Bush administration for fascistic behavior in his book "Crimes Against Nature: How George W. Bush and his Corporate Pals Are Plundering the Country and Hijacking Our Democracy."
Genuine American fascists are on the run, and part of their survival strategy is to redefine the term "fascism" so it can't be applied to them any more. Most recently, George W. Bush said: "This nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."
In fact, the Islamic fundamentalists who apparently perpetrated 9/11 and other crimes in Spain and the United Kingdom are advocating a fundamentalist theocracy, not fascism.
But theocracy - the merging of religion and government - is also on the plate for the new American fascists (just as it was for Hitler, who based the Nazi death cult on a "new Christianity" that would bring "a thousand years of peace"), so they don't want to use that term, either.
"Security expert Daniel Benjamin of the Center for Strategic and International Studies agreed that the term [Islamic fascists] was meaningless.
"'There is no sense in which jihadists embrace fascist ideology as it was developed by Mussolini or anyone else who was associated with the term,' he said. 'This is an epithet, a way of arousing strong emotion and tarnishing one's opponent, but it doesn't tell us anything about the content of their beliefs.'"
Their beliefs are, quite simply, that governments of the world should be subservient to religion, a view shared by a small but significant part of today's Republican party. But that is not fascism - the fascists in the US want to exploit the fundamentalist theocrats to achieve their own fascistic goals.
Mother Jones has an Iraq War timeline - "Lie by Lie: Chronicle of a War Foretold: August 1990 to March 2003" (which I'd subtitle "The Quest for the Greatest Prize of All").
The first drafts of history are fragmentary. Important revelations arrive late, and out of order. In this timeline, we’ve assembled the history of the Iraq War to create a resource we hope will help resolve open questions of the Bush era. What did our leaders know and when did they know it? And, perhaps just as important, what red flags did we miss, and how could we have missed them? This is the first installment in our Iraq War timeline project.
And to close, Mungo MacCallum has an obituary for Australian Democrats founder Don Chipp - the "Democrat who worked to 'keep the bastards honest'".
DON Chipp, who has died in Epworth Hospital at age 81 after suffering from Parkinson's disease, was an idealistic Liberal. Nowadays that would be a contradiction in terms; in these unforgiving times, idealism is not a quality fashionable in Australian politics, particularly not in the Liberal Party.
But it was not always so. Back in the 1960s there was a faction in the party which was not only moderate in its views but optimistic, rational and even visionary in its agenda for social reform. And at the centre of this faction was the young Chipp.
I still think TJ is more concerned about TJ.
No doubt TJ is TJ's #1 priority - but it seems he's an example of "greed is good" being true in some cases.

Professional Pokémon Go trainers, rejoice. The official wearable companion to everyone’s favorite augmented reality catching game is launching September 16, developer Niantic confirmed Wednesday night.
Pokémon Go Plus, set to retail for $35, is a tiny puck that attaches to the wrist, belt, or anything else the strap fits around. The device connects via Bluetooth to a player’s smartphone and alerts the user to nearby in-game items even when the phone is locked. The gadget lights up and buzzes when a Pokéstop is nearby, and players can collect available items by pressing on the device. Similarly, when a Pokémon is nearby, the wearable will light up and allow a player to catch without ever unlocking the phone.
The device was expected to launch in June, but in Nintendo’s first quarter earnings report, the company announced a surprise delay until September. Nintendo had a limited role in the development of the Pokémon Go app itself, making the hardware one of the major ways the game’s success will impact the company’s bottom line.
The highly-anticipated accessory has fetched over $1,000 in early eBay listings as players scramble to up their catching game. That anticipation may be somewhat tempered, however, by Niantic’s other announcement Wednesday of an Apple Watch app. Whether players will want to spend money to wear something that looks like a Pokéball, when they can buy a more regular-looking watch that has a number of other features, remains to be seen.

Prickly pear cactus, known as nopal in Spanish, has long been a dietary staple in Mexico but has recently been gaining recognition for its health benefits in other parts of the world, too. These hearty green vegetables are harvested from prickly pear cacti plants (which are native to Mexico, Central America and the American southwest) when they are underdeveloped. Their texture is not unlike green beans or green peppers, although they also contain a gel-like substance similar to the aloe plant. Prickly pear cactus is delicious prepared in a variety of ways, whether it is cooked by grilling, sautéing or boiling, or enjoyed fresh in smoothies and juices.
Prickly pear cactus offers a great deal of health benefits thanks to its impressive lineup of nutrients and vitamins including beta carotene, calcium, copper, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C.
Prickly pear cactus extract has long been used to help control blood sugar levels for individuals who are diabetic or pre-diabetic. It can help reduce spikes in glucose levels, which makes it easier to manage diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes.
The extract derived from prickly pear cactus leaves is praised for its anti-inflammatory effects on the body which can improve conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains and joint pain. Whether you eat the vegetable or take the extract, you can enjoy relief from inflammation thanks to prickly pear cactus.
Bursting with antioxidants such as flavonoid compounds, phytochemicals, rare betalains and vitamin C, prickly pear cactus is an excellent food to eat in order to boost the immune system. Antioxidants are amazingly beneficial compounds that go after free radicals in the body and eliminate them before they have a chance to mutate the DNA of healthy cells, which helps protect against a number of illnesses including several types of cancer.
This Mexican folk remedy has been around for a long time because it works! Eating prickly pear cactus or taking its supplement form prior to consuming large amounts of alcohol can vastly improve unpleasant hangover side effects including nausea, dry mouth and loss of appetite the next day. It is believed that the anti-inflammatory effects of prickly pear cactus are what help reduce hangover symptoms.
There are large amounts of dietary fiber in prickly pear cactus, which is an essential part of a healthy digestive process. Fiber makes it easier for bowel movements to pass through the digestive tract. It can also offer relief from constipation as well as diarrhea.
After seeing for yourself what is great about prickly pear cactus, you will definitely want to add the tasty and beneficial food to your regular dietary rotation for even greater health!

Our society Obilich announced its annual ball, which will be held on Dec. 28th in Colonial Hall, at 1800 Center Avenue.
On this occasion our Serbians will have an opportunity to see the performance of the well-known Dramatic Club in a play entitled, "The Montenegro Dream in America."
We strongly recommend a visit to this national gathering.
Serbian // Contributions and Activities > Avocational and Intellectual > Aesthetic > Theatrical > Drama (II B 1 c 1) ?
The Serbian Benevolent Society Obilich was organized in the year 1905 under the laws of the State of Illinois.
The purpose of this society is to help their members socially, morally and financially in case of trouble, and especially in sickness. The society pays sick benefits at the rate of $1 per day; also death benefits up to $600. Their accident policy covers injured legs, hands, and almost every part of the human body. For all the above mentioned benefits members are charged only $1.75 per month.
Besides financial help, this society is well known as the most active society in the colony in propagating culture and education among Serbians in Chicago. During the long period of its existence, the society has organized a great number of concerts, theatrical performances, dances, etc.
From 1905 to 1921 the society belonged to the former Serbian federation, Sloga. The year 1921 brought the federation Sloga into dissolution, and all of its branches, as for example the society St. George, were facing the problem of forming some other unity or working independently.
The majority in the society of St. George advocated unity with the Serbian federation in Pittsburg. The minority decided to remain independent and has remained so up to today under the name of "Obilich."
Only 35 members were left in Obilich after the members split, but in this case the old proverb, "Not quantity but quality is what counts," proved to be right.
A small number of sincere and willing workers showed great activity and drew not only the sympathy of the Serbians, but also succeeded in enlarging its membership to 180 members. Today the society Obilich is 3known as the richest society in Chicago, and has a capital of $20,000.
This society also proved the fact that Serbians and Croats can cooperate if good will and honest work prevail, because the society Obilich has a large number of Croatian members.
A great pride and the future hope of this society is the Youth Organization, which grew rapidly not only in its membership but also in its activities.
Obilich's youth band, choir, dramatic club, etc. are the cultural part of the Serbian colony on the North Side of Chicago.

Individualism is the moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that emphasizes the moral worth of the individual. Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so value independence and self-reliance and advocate that interests of the individual should achieve precedence over the state or a social group, while opposing external interference upon one's own interests by society or institutions such as the government. Individualism is often defined in contrast to totalitarianism, collectivism, authoritarianism, communitarianism, statism, cosmopolitanism, tribalism, altruism, and more corporate social forms.
Individualism makes the individual its focus and so starts "with the fundamental premise that the human individual is of primary importance in the struggle for liberation."Classical liberalism, existentialism, and anarchism are examples of movements that take the human individual as a central unit of analysis. Individualism thus involves "the right of the individual to freedom and self-realization".
In the English language, the word "individualism" was first introduced, as a pejorative, by the Owenites in the late 1830s, although it is unclear if they were influenced by Saint-Simonianism or came up with it independently. A more positive use of the term in Britain came to be used with the writings of James Elishama Smith, who was a millenarian and a Christian Israelite. Although an early Owenite socialist, he eventually rejected its collective idea of property, and found in individualism a "universalism" that allowed for the development of the "original genius." Without individualism, Smith argued, individuals cannot amass property to increase one's happiness.William Maccall, another Unitarian preacher, and probably an acquaintance of Smith, came somewhat later, although influenced by John Stuart Mill, Thomas Carlyle, and German Romanticism, to the same positive conclusions, in his 1847 work "Elements of Individualism".
An individual is a person or any specific object in a collection. In the 15th century and earlier, and also today within the fields of statistics and metaphysics, individual means "indivisible", typically describing any numerically singular thing, but sometimes meaning "a person." (q.v. "The problem of proper names"). From the 17th century on, individual indicates separateness, as in individualism. Individuality is the state or quality of being an individual; a person separate from other persons and possessing his or her own needs, goals, and desires.
Societies and groups can differ in the extent to which they are based upon predominantly "self-regarding" (individualistic, and/or self-interested) behaviors, rather than "other-regarding" (group-oriented, and group, or society-minded) behaviors. Ruth Benedict made a distinction, relevant in this context, between "guilt" societies (e.g., medieval Europe) with an "internal reference standard", and "shame" societies (e.g., Japan, "bringing shame upon one's ancestors") with an "external reference standard", where people look to their peers for feedback on whether an action is "acceptable" or not (also known as "group-think").
The principle of individuation , or principium individuationis, describes the manner in which a thing is identified as distinguished from other things. For Carl Jung, individuation is a process of transformation, whereby the personal and collective unconscious is brought into consciousness (by means of dreams, active imagination or free association to take some examples) to be assimilated into the whole personality. It is a completely natural process necessary for the integration of the psyche to take place. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development. In L'individuation psychique et collective, Gilbert Simondon developed a theory of individual and collective individuation in which the individual subject is considered as an effect of individuation rather than a cause. Thus, the individual atom is replaced by a never-ending ontological process of individuation. Individuation is an always incomplete process, always leaving a "pre-individual" left-over, itself making possible future individuations. The philosophy of Bernard Stiegler draws upon and modifies the work of Gilbert Simondon on individuation and also upon similar ideas in Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. For Stiegler "the I, as a psychic individual, can only be thought in relationship to we, which is a collective individual. The I is constituted in adopting a collective tradition, which it inherits and in which a plurality of I 's acknowledge each other's existence."
Individualists are chiefly concerned with protecting individual autonomy against obligations imposed by social institutions (such as the state or religious morality). For L. Susan Brown "Liberalism and anarchism are two political philosophies that are fundamentally concerned with individual freedom yet differ from one another in very distinct ways. Anarchism shares with liberalism a radical commitment to individual freedom while rejecting liberalism's competitive property relations."
Civil libertarianism is a strain of political thought that supports civil liberties, or which emphasizes the supremacy of individual rights and personal freedoms over and against any kind of authority (such as a state, a corporation, social norms imposed through peer pressure, etc.). Civil libertarianism is not a complete ideology; rather, it is a collection of views on the specific issues of civil liberties and civil rights. Because of this, a civil libertarian outlook is compatible with many other political philosophies, and civil libertarianism is found on both the right and left in modern politics. For scholar Ellen Meiksins Wood "there are doctrines of individualism that are opposed to Lockean individualism ... and non-lockean individualism may encompass socialism".
Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom; worthy of a free man, gentlemanlike, courteous, generous") is the belief in the importance of individual freedom. This belief is widely accepted in the United States, Europe, Australia and other Western nations, and was recognized as an important value by many Western philosophers throughout history, in particular since the Enlightenment. It is often rejected by collectivist, Islamic, or confucian societies in Asia or the Middle East (though Taoists were and are known to be individualists). The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote praising "the idea of a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed".
Liberalism should not be confused with modern liberalism in the United States, and should be referred to as classical liberalism to avoid ambiguity.

Now, I’m not expecting anyone to actually send me card 175. You see, that is Mike Trout’s rookie card. I would probably be better off trying to find a discounted blaster or repack box and pulling one myself.
Card #253 is another story. Someone out there has to have a Scott Linebrink card, right? This could be the first time this sentence has been written, but, I will trade heavily in your favor for a Scott Linebrink card.
In what is now an annual tradition (if only because it has now opened two straight years), I found some blasters of 2013 Topps Heritage at Target last night.
First, what a weird coincidence, but this set looks exactly like the 1964 Topps Design.
Take a look at this scary card # 275 of Kevin Youkilis.
I am excited for 7 years down the road when they recreate the 1971 set. I will most likely be collecting the set this year and I should probably start saving some coin for that now.
I also pulled a Target Red Variation from my blaster of CC Sabathia. Can you count the # of chins?
Overall you know exactly what you are getting with Heritage. Cards that are a reasonable facsimile to 50 years ago with some inserts and oddball variations.
As always, let me know if you would like anything that I pulled as I won’t be keeping much.
So we have a big-headed former President winning DC’s sausage race and Sydney Poitier winning an Academy Award.
Get on over to Uncle Doc’s!
He still has five spots left in his fabulous 2013 MLB Tournament.
Allow me a moment to bask in the satisfaction that comes from a complete set. This one is all the more special as it is the first vintage set that I’ve been able to put together.
Tough to go wrong with pages that include Mr. Cub and Clemente.
As I mentioned in a previous post, this set looks amazing in a binder. I’m contemplating which vintage set to go after next, but I doubt it will give me the same pleasure that the ’71 has. The classic look of the black border has me enamored.
Okay, I lied. I will probably chase the 1969 set next, so if anyone out there can help me out please visit my want page. Shameless plug for my own blog!
Additionally, I’m planning a contest as celebration of completing the set. Be on the look out in a day or two to see what I have for the winner as well as the contest entry itself.
I was overjoyed to awake early this past weekend and find that the NHL and NHLPA had finally agreed in principle to a deal to end the lockout. I missed hockey. Tired of the overpaid players and whining I gave up watching the NFL this season. Even my beloved Steelers. I’m not a fan of the NBA, so the NHL was the only professional sport I was planning on investing my time, energy and talents in for Winter 12/13. The lockout threw a wrench in to that plan, but I could not be happier that hockey is returning soon.
A 48 game season should be exhilarating to watch as no team will be able to sustain a long losing streak if they want to make it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
I only plan on keeping the Wideman to send as a TTM for a friend who is a big Caps fan, otherwise feel free to let me know if you see anything you want. I’ll send it to you gratis!
I’m not even going to address how long it has been since my last post. Mentioning it in the previous sentence doesn’t count.
It has taken me some time (not nearly as long as I thought), but I am current one card short of completing the 1971 Topps set. ONE CARD. I’m at 99.87% completion.
I have a couple best offers out on eBay right now, so hopefully in a day or two I will have it incoming. If not, if anyone out there has one for sale, trade, barter, giving away, etc. please let me know.
I will do a much bigger write-up/celebration when I have the entire set completing and in-hand. It looks great in a binder.
I wish I had calculated/kept track of all my purchases for the set. I’d love to see what I’ve spent per card as I’ve tried to keep costs very low. I know I’ve overpaid for the last dozen or so and I don’t even care. I am so pumped to have this set almost complete.
As a thank you, the first person to comment can have this duplicate card from the ’71 set of Luke Walker.
I tried to stop myself. Really, I did. I resisted the urge to stop by Target on my way home from work. I avoided the card aisle on an inadvertent trip to Target with the family picking up housewares. I convinced myself to indulge through others retail experience.
It worked. For about a week. Then I folded and bought one pack (seriously, only one) of 2012 Topps Archives. When I first heard about this set I was excited. Part of the set would be dedicated to the ’71 Topps design, my personal favorite. Then I remembered it would be all glossy and not at all indicative of the great cardboardy feel of the true ’71 set. I was less excited after this realization.
I then re-convinced myself it was cool and I should collect at least the cards from the set that mirrored the ’71 design. So I bought the pack, and instantly regretted it. Don’t get me wrong, the designs are cool. You can’t go wrong with paralleling some of the top designed Topps base cards from the last 60 years. 1984, 1977, 1980, 1971 and 1954.
I opened my pack with anticipation, but was instantly bummed. As much as I wanted to love the set, I couldn’t turn my malaise for Topps recent offerings around. I even got a short print in my pack, but it was a 1992 Ron Gant redux.
Well, my disappointment can be your gain. See all the cards below?
They can all be yours. They are card #’s: 15 47 73 98 148 192 193 and 228. Just leave a comment on this post. If more than one person comments I’ll random the names at 7pm EDT tomorrow (5/31).

In terms of sheer age, Daily News marches four solid years ahead of me. But my intimate association with that admirable journal has a history that spans nearly 84 years. This seemingly strange development could be explained fairly simply.
As a child, I had an irrepressible urge to read and to imbibe the contents of any, a piece of printed matter, that I could lay my hands-on. At times, it was a segment of an American newspaper that wrapped a purchase from the village grocery.
Early on, I acquired the conviction, that reading newspapers will nurture and enrich my wisdom. It may amuse a reader that I had the audacity and the precocity to assume, that I possessed wisdom and it was at an incipient and formative stage at that time. But, that exactly was what happened.
I discovered the slew of newspapers that issued from Lake House and was especially enamoured of the Daily News. This was partly because my eldest brother was an avid reader of that publication. He kept faith throughout.
The Daily News had an inexplicable appeal to my growing mind, probably because I had an idea that it may add the ‘vitamins’ and the ‘proteins’ that could help the maturing of my wisdom.
Its format and the presence held a mysterious fascination for me. In the course of time, I learnt to appreciate some of its features that compelled sustained attention.
A popular item in the early issues of Daily News was a strip-cartoon. If I remember right, it had the title ‘Bringing up Father”.
He returns home, a wee bit late. Mindful of the wrath of the waiting wife, the man attempts to enter the house surreptitiously. The helpless man is fully unaware that his ever - alert wife is lurking behind the door, armed with a handy rolling-pin, to give the erring husband a fitting reception.
The authoritative articles provided a comprehensive intellectual treat to the readers.
The Daily News of the time raised a voice that the country’s elite heeded and the lawmakers took careful note of.
In stark reality, the Daily News functioned as the conscience of the Nation and was held in due deference by the people. Contributing a letter to the Editor of Daily News would earn for the writer at least a passing prestige from his community.
A specific instance comes to my mind. A letter to the Editor written by a local person known to me achieved the presence in the letters column. For quite some time he basked in that ephemeral glory as he suddenly became important in the eyes of his fellow-villagers.
Later on, circumstances paved the way for me to be quite closely associated with the Daily News.
Way back in 1949 Esmond Wickremesinghe, the Chairman and Managing Director of ANCL personally recruited me to the Editorial Staff of the Institution.
I was both physically and spiritually close to the Daily News, as I functioned initially as a member of the Editorial staff of Dinamina.
Immediately on my joining the Editorial staff of Dinamina, I received a hand-written personal note from the Editor of Daily News of that day - Jayantha Padmanabha. He was a kinsman of the globally renowned savant Dr Ananda Coomaraswamy.
In that intimate note, he requested me to contribute to the Daily News, though I am formally attached to Dinamina. I kept this note preserved until very recent times. It is no longer traceable. As a beginner in professional journalism, this note pleased me no end.
My first contribution to the Daily News, after I joined Lake House, was a review of Martin Wickramasinghe's Yuganthaya. This review done at the request of Bonnie Fernando, appeared in the “Book Reviews” column, on March 23, 1949. This was nearly 69 years ago.
From then on, I continued to write to the Daily News, somewhat regularly. I must recall here that I contributed a series of articles on cinema and related issues, at the request of Philip Cooray – Editor.
My brief note on the early days of the Daily News will not be complete, if I did not add my memories of some professionals who adorned the Editorial staff, at that time.
The daily routine that was followed by one member of the Editorial staff, intrigued me profoundly.
He attends office early, cleans his desk, and carefully places some of his possessions in the locker.
It is then that the drama occurs. This Burgher Gentleman picks up the phone and rails and rants non-stop for at least for ten minutes. Then apparently sated, he settles down calmly.
I was always puzzled by this daily therapeutic ranting of this staffer. Later on, I discovered that the helpless individual at the other end was a staffer of Reuters Colombo Office. This gentleman supervised foreign news and was seated next to the teleprinter. That piece of equipment at that time created a terrific din. Perhaps, this gentleman ranted against that machine, I thought.
Over the past century, the Daily News has maintained an even tenor.
At times I am asked a strange question. The interrogator is keen to know, whether I entertain a nostalgia for the past and lament some current trends.
This kind of question perhaps stems from the assumption that old people tend to dislike the present and are nostalgically settled on what happened in the ages that are gone.
I assure such questioners that I really admire the contemporary version of Daily News. To my mind, the present personality of the Daily News, is the outcome of a logical seamless evolution of the past, through a series of stages.
I fully appreciate the typographic personality and the impressive graphic presence of today’s Daily News. I keenly esteem the concessions made to accommodate the sentiments of the millennial, brought up on a staple pabulum of Social Media, and Smart Phones, that link you to vast distances, immediately you swipe the ‘phone’s face.
But I am troubled by only one hesitation and misgiving. In several decades will the urge to go online affect the Daily News too? I am sure the Daily News will survive even such eventualities.
May the Daily News flourish, defying any challenge irreversible time may pose.

Hendon Aerodrome was an aerodrome in Hendon, north London, England and between 1908 and 1968 was an important centre for aviation.
It was situated in Colindale, seven miles (11.3 km) north west of Charing Cross. It nearly became "the Charing Cross of the UK’s international air routes", but for the actions of RAF after the First World War. It was famous as a place of pioneering experiments which included the first airmail, the first parachute descent from a powered aircraft, the first night flights, and the first aerial defence of a city.
Hendon Aerodrome was under pressure even before the war, with the possibility that RAF Hendon would become a target for enemy bombing raids. After the war the base was increasingly unsuitable, particularly because the runways were too short, and the close proximity of suburban houses made matters worse. The RAF argued the military importance of the complex into the 1950s in case future developments in aviation technology might render the base suitable again, but eventually Hendon Borough Council and the London County Council were able to argue that houses were needed more than the aerodrome. The last flying unit, the Metropolitan Communications Squadron, left Hendon in 1957. Late in 1968 a Blackburn Beverley, flown in to be an exhibit at the new RAF Museum, was the last aircraft to land in Hendon. The RAF base finally closed altogether in 1987. The area of the aerodrome is now the site of the Grahame Park Housing Estate, and Hendon Police College. The RAF Museum now situated on the site.
Off-duty times in "the smoke" Going with pals to West End.Is there still a Union Jack & Picadilly Club?Seeing pics like Rock Around the Clock,Rebel Without a Cause & Bridge over the River Kwai at Odeon Edgeware Road thengoing to Maria’s for supper before walking back to camp.

Handmade ornaments are such a fun gift to make and to receive. They make great additions to the package of gifts as well, as a little extra with the gift. I had fun making these and they looked so adorable on my tree.
For this project, you will need a cup or bowl, or even a saucer. anything round that you can trace that will make a large enough circle, ribbon or ric rac for the hanger, stuffing and just about any kind of fabric. I used Christmas themed quilters cotton. You also need the essentials....scissors, thread, hand sewing needle, pins or clips, and a sewing machine, although these could be done completely by hand.
First, trace your circles onto the fabric. Make sure to center the image you want featured. Trace and cut 2 circles for each ornament. Cut about 3" of ribbon or ric rac, or whatever you've chosen for your hangers, for each ornament.
Place one circle right side up and place the hanger with the loop side down and ends centered at the top of the ornament. Place the second circle right side down on top of the first circle and pin or clip in place.
Starting at the bottom, sew around the circle leaving about 1" unsewn at the bottom. I used a 1/4" seam allowance, but you can use whatever size you are comfortable with and then just trim the excess seam allowance down to 1/8"-1/4".
Reach inside the circle and pull the hanger loop to turn your ornaments right side out. Stuff the circles to desired fullness and hand sew the opening closed. And what do you do with the ones you mess up? Why, you stuff them with plastic shopping bags and turn them into crinkle dog toys, of course! I forgot the loop on one, and sewed one circle wrong side out. lol. My dogs enjoyed their new toys.
These would be so cute with solid fabrics decorated with all the decorative stitches we have on our machines, or in different shapes. Maybe candy canes, stockings or gingerbread men. I wish I would have had more time to make all the cute shapes when I was making these. They would even be adorable just fused with fusible web and stitched around the edges if you don't want to stuff them. The possibilities are endless! If you make any, please share in our Facebook group. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

It is impossible to measure "the scope of Bob's influence, as only the people involved will recall just how he inspired and supported their work," said Melissa Brown, former managing editor of Giving USA, produced by the CoP for the GUSA Institute, and now a consultant with ties to the CoP.

This course advances design and engineering students in 3D parametric solid modeling with intermediate and advanced parts, assemblies, and drawings. Students produce CAD drawings from solid models to include orthographic, pictorial, section, and detail views per industry standard. It employs design topics such as standard fit analysis, geometric tolerancing per ASME Y14.5M-2009, finite element analysis using Creo and SolidWorks software, and computer numerical controlled manufacturing using HSMWorks.
Students develop a professional portfolio using their best work from previously completed architecture and drafting courses to highlight their design and drawing achievements. The course also covers how students can market themselves for the workforce through resume writing, job search strategies, and presentation and interview skills.
This course gives students an opportunity to study topics in Drafting that are not included in regular course offerings. Each Topics course is announced, described, and given its own title and 296 number designation in the class schedule.

Does anyone know when this unique style of Street nameplate was first introduced?
Note the unique border and font.
And any idea who the designer was?
It was deployed across Dublin city, County & Dun Laoghaire Borough. I believe it dates from the early 1930s – very possible a pre Eucharistic Congress initiative to make navigating easier for so many visitors.

The operator control units and the machine control units are built tough to resist the harsh environment in which they operate.
The communication between the operator and machine control units remain consistent to prevent heavy machinery from being lost while located deep in an unsafe tunnel.
The joysticks and other controls are easy to use by the miner and can be customized to meet operator needs.
A roof bolter is a hydraulically driven miner-mounted bolting rig used to install rock bolts in underground mines.
Shotcrete sprayers are rugged, mechanized shotcrete spraying systems, developed specifically for underground support applications.
Feeder Breakers are primary crushers designed to break ore into smaller sizes via a deck and chain conveyor system.
LHD loaders are similar to conventional front end loaders but developed for the toughest, hard-rock underground mining applications.

Kehinde Wiley: "The Black Andy Warhol"
Kehinde Wiley, now most known for his presidential portrait of Barack Obama, has long caught my attention as an artist whose artistic practice runs so closely adjacent to the famed Andy Warhol.
Introduced to Wiley through a PBS documentary Kehinde Wiley: An Economy of Grace, Wiley’s work far from simplistic, is embedded with various motifs and surface statements of black identity and sexuality. The observation also made by one of his colleagues who called Wiley “the black Andy Warhol” (4:52) both responded to the comment as a weighty one. Warhol, a very complex figure on his own, allows this statement of comparison problematic and slightly unfavorable for this rising artist to be campaigned next to.
His choice of repetition: Although this documentary highlights Wiley’s first time approaching females as his subject for his work instead of his usual masculine figures, he always chooses a floral backdrop to surround his subjects.
The spectacle of it all. Thriving as the poster child for the Pop Art movement, the basis of all his work surrounded this notion of FAME. Warhol’s coined statement “15 seconds of fame” is exactly what Wiley gave the random passerby’s on 125th Street Harlem who agreed to be a part of his project.
The “artistic businessman” type. Naturally, many of the women who were approached were hesitant and unconvinced of his spiel. Presenting himself as a businessman, Wiley adopts the same artistic persona Warhol did. Their authenticity constantly questioned judging if their principles match their intention.
God like presence: Their self induced power to change someone’s entire life on a whim. Warhol choosing Edie Sedgwick to test his theory of fame that anyone can be made into an overnight celebrity, he included her into many of his pieces and was instrumental in her success as an actress and model. Wiley, taking black women quite overlooked by their economic and social hardships exported them from their middle class lifestyles and shoved them into designer dresses and wardrobe. One model most keen to Wiley’s project because of the opportunity to finally pursue modeling again, felt as if she had finally achieved that vision. The weight of the power both artists held in transforming one’s life is a very fragile undertaking.
Process through production: Massive projects in which either artist does not hesitate to call upon an entire team of workers to complete their art piece. Warhol doing so through his screen-printing process for his famed works like Marilyn Monroe prints and Wiley having a team of workers with him in China, painting his branded flowered backdrop. Both requiring an assembly team, the artistic hand is both in question.
Advantageous of their times, Kehinde Wiley and Andy Warhol focus their art on what their present society is missing. For Warhol, it was the lack of reality. The star studded new world of the 1960's glamorized eveyones view of the world, making them all unaware of the infiltrating consumption to be sold on almost anything, including his art. Wiley with a fixed lens on the untold black everyday figures, had an easier compliance and respect from the black community because of his choice to make such a marginalized group an area of focus within all his work. Many people wary of his way of representation, his success is deeply rooted in appeasing to what black people want to see, inclusion and entitlement to be seen.

NE1 Ltd has dispensed with the chocolate advent calendar this year to create an altogether more exciting and exclusive opportunity for the people of Newcastle and the North East to enjoy.
Throughout the month of December, NE1 will be inviting people to ‘open the door’ and explore 24 unique, quirky, historic or simply unusual venues across Newcastle.
The advent calendar will be created with participating companies opening their doors to the public to shine a light on places often inaccessible to the public. Each day will showcase a new venue, opening their doors and allowing people unprecedented access to amazing buildings, sights and exhibits for one day only, all in the spirit of Christmas.
Spaces at many of these calendar days are limited, and must be booked in advance.
NE1’s alternative advent calendar is part of a wider programme of Christmas themed events and activities NE1 has launched in the city this season. All the details of other events can be found at the Newcastle's Christmas website.

The literature on the psychological consequences of unemployment suggests that an adaptation process takes place among the long-term unemployed. Their psychological well-being decreases strongly at the beginning of unemployment, to stabilize at a lower level after a certain time. This stabilization is due to an adaptation process, in which the unemployed decrease their job search behaviors and lower their employment commitment. In this cross-sectional study from Belgium, 563 short-term and 195 long-term unemployed are compared on psychological well-being, the experience of unemployment, employment commitment and job search behavior. The results are in line with the hypothesis of an adaptation process among the long-term unemployed. The short-term unemployed experienced more psychological distress than the long-term unemployed. The short-term unemployed also showed stronger employment commitment and more often applied for jobs. The results of some retrospective questions, in which the respondents had to compare their actual behaviors and well-being with those in the past, suggest that an adaptation process took place. Some policy recommendations are discussed.

So Good is Heading to Vegas….
..on Thursday. And what happens there will definitely be staying there. Except for where I eat of course, which I can share with my So Good peeps. So my question, So Good readers, is where should I eat? Any recommendations for restaurants/places I need to hit up?
There’s a Thai place that is super good, ask the locals I can’t remember the name. It’s supposed to be the best around. Also, In-n-out to cure whatever you drank the night before.
Lotus of Siam. Best. Thai. Food. Ever.
Sonic. Specifically, the Sonic on Craig Rd & Losee. The skating carhops are really friendly, the food is fast and hot and you can choose from 168,894 different drink combinations!…it’s definitely worth stopping in.
Lotus of Siam is definitely worth going to. Only problem is that if you are staying on the strip its a $20-25 cab ride each way. Still worth it for the food though.
I agree with Jeanne. I had Sonic in for the first time in Vegas. You will not regret it.
The thing I’m excited to try this weekend in Vegas is Retro Bakery. I LOVE cupcakes, especially strange and unlikely combinations. The maple bacon cupcake is on my must-eat list this weekend.
You have to go downtown to the Fremont Street Experience and hit up the Mermaid casino. The guys in the far back will deep fry you some oreos and twinkies that are TO DIE FOR! and they are hilarious characters in and of themselves.
Headed to Vegas myself today. But I live fairly close. My favorite is the Paris Buffet. However we’ll be trying out the new Aria (i think) at City Center buffet. We’ve heard excellent things about its desserts!
Unfortuantely my other favorites have closed or changed their menus so that’s all I know to reccomend.

Our planet Earth keeps a lot of mysteries and secrets awaiting their Columbus. One of them is the mystery of the great glaciations that took place in the history of our planet. For some reason, in the polar regions and on the tops of high mountains, huge masses of ice began to accumulate, moving, crushing rocks and mountains in their path, crushing the hardest rocks.
The great glaciation of the Earth began about 500 thousand years ago and lasted for many millennia. The ice then retreated, then again approached. In Europe there were, apparently, four glacial epochs, between which relatively warm periods took place. The complete retreat of the ice occurred only about 20-25 thousand years ago. But in some areas of the North the ice lingered even longer. According to modern scientific data, solid masses of ice covered one fifth of the earth's surface. Under a thick layer of ice was the whole of Northern Europe up to Northern France and central Germany. East of the glacier descended the Dnieper and Don. The ice covered North America to about 380 north latitude. Modern glaciers can not go to any comparison with the ancient great glaciation of our planet. They occupy 1/30 of the earth's surface. Thus, the great glaciation was a truly planetary phenomenon.
Some researchers have tried to link the riddle of the great glaciations with cosmic processes. For example, it was suggested that in the region of the solar orbit there is a small transparent nebula into which the Sun could plunge while moving around the galactic center. This led to a decrease in the amount of solar heat entering the Earth, and caused a decrease in temperature. However, astronomical observations did not confirm this hypothesis.
Other scientists have suggested that the decrease in temperature on Earth could be caused by fluctuations in thermal solar radiation. However, long-term observations of our Sun show that the magnitude of its thermal radiation remains almost constant. Other attempts to solve the riddles of the onset of the great glaciations with a change in the tilt of the Earth's axis, the distance of the Earth from the Sun, etc. are also inconclusive.
The most reasonable can be considered the hypothesis of great glaciations, which is explained by geological changes that took place on our planet. Changes in the terrestrial relief, the formation and disappearance of high mountains, changes in the directions of sea currents, as well as the strong eruptions of volcanoes with the release into the atmosphere of a huge amount of volcanic dust that absorbs part of the solar heat could have a significant impact on the climate of our planet.
Significant impact on the climate of Europe and North America could have fluctuations in the intensity of the Gulf Stream, whose power is unusually large. Suffice it to say that every second it carries 26 million cubic meters of water, which is about 20 times higher than the flow of water of all rivers of the globe. The heat brought by this flow accounts for about 45% of the total heat balance of the Arctic Ocean. If the Gulf Stream ceased to exist, then a significant part of Europe would be icebound. Therefore, a natural question arises – could the temporary disappearance of the Gulf Stream cause the great glaciations of Europe? But why could the Gulf Stream disappear?
It is well known that in the history of our planet more than once there have been the lowering and raising of various parts of the earth's crust. The study of the ocean depths showed that at the bottom of them there are many submerged mountain ranges. These include the North Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean. Currently, all these ridges continue to dive. It is possible that in ancient times in their place there were continents, now descended to the bottom of the ocean.
In particular, some very interesting information was found indicating that the North Atlantic ridge did once rise above the surface of the ocean. But if the disappearance of the North Atlantic Ridge in the depths of the ocean really took place, when was it? It was established that about 3–5 thousand years ago there was a noticeable increase in the Gulf Stream. In addition, it was discovered that another breakthrough of the warm waters of the Gulf Stream into the Kara Sea occurred about 10–12 thousand years ago. This period coincides with the estimated date of immersion of the North Atlantic Ridge.
Many scientists connect the riddle of the great glaciations of the Earth with these events. Land areas appearing from the seabed in the Atlantic Ocean blocked the path to the north to warm sea currents. As a result, a strong cooling began in the polar regions, and powerful ice cover was approaching the territory of Europe and North America. When the land sank to the bottom of the ocean, the Gulf Stream again got free access to the northern areas. The released current carried warmth to the ice-bound shores and the ice receded!

Since release, Pokémon YouTubers have had issues uploading any footage utilizing the signature new “Z-Moves” introduced in Sun and Moon. One fan decided to take matters into his own hands, and the workaround for circumventing YouTube’s crap is hilarious.
As you may already know, YouTube has something called “Content ID,” which is a system meant for users to identify and manage their videos. Once a video is online, viewers can put a digital fingerprint on it. If another YouTube channel uploads a video, and the system believes that the new video has the same digital fingerprint, then the new video gains a Content ID claim. The owners of the original Content ID can then gain some ownership over the new video, and YouTube allows them to monetize the video for themselves, or sometimes outright block it.
When I uploaded Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke Parts 39 and 40, they were both copyright claimed and blocked from being viewed in every country. This was due to Primarina’s Z-move (as well as Eevee’s) being prominently featured in Pokemon advertising up to Sun and Moon’s launch, so an automated system was put in place to prevent people from reposting the ad and claiming ad revenue and they never removed it. Now, my problem could have easily been solved if I adjusted the footage or removed it altogether, but I’d rather put effort and creative energy into spiting YouTube’s copyright system and this new representation of Primarina’s Z-Move was born.
“Feel free to use this animation if you’re having issue with similar copyright claims, so long as it’s properly credited,” Fawkes wrote. There’s even a helpful “INSERT POKEMON HERE” placeholder.

"So how can a whole society collapse so rapidly? How can we all enjoy our luxurious lifestyles while these people are being treated so badly? I think the answer to these questions may come from those who we have met along our trip. People like Garot and Amie, who are not only dedicating their lives, but putting themselves in potential danger, all in an attempt to salvage an entire town. They are the last glue keeping that town from anarchy. People like Matt and Claudia, who put all of their efforts into building and maintaining all of SOS Africa’s projects. They strongly believe that, although South Africa may have lost a few generations, the only way to save the next is through education. People like Joyce, who, in light of a terrible tragedy in their lives, decide to dedicate their time to making other people’s lives better. And people like SOS Africa staff members Anna and Chloe, who are out there every day giving these children the love they need whilst teaching them how to cope in life. These people are the desperately needed light at the end of the tunnel."
As well as being touched by the lives of the inspirational people they met, Rory and his classmates have also left a legacy of their own. Before they embarked on their adventure, with the help of their families and friends, they raised over £3000 for SOS Africa’s operations in the Western Cape. These funds are already being put to good use, providing vital supplies to SOS Africa’s Aftercare Centre’s in the region and trauma courses to provide vital emotional support to some of our more troubled children. We would like to thank Rory, Christopher, Joly, Fedor, Gareth and Tom for their commitment to our cause and for the lasting impression they left on our staff and children after such a short time; they would love to welcome you back in the not too distant future.

Katie and Joe had treated themselves to a lavish dinner for their 1st anniversary. They had been friends since childhood and always found ways to keep themselves amused despite knowing each other for so long. Knowing that traffic was extremely likely on the normal route home, Joe decided to take the deserted long way home, through a dense forested area.
After about half an hour the car slowed to a stop. Looking over at Joe, Katie knew he was being mischievous and gave him a stern look. "Come on Joe, I want to go home, don't you start" she scolded.
"Aww, come on! There's nobody around" he grinned.
He leant in for a kiss but Katie pushed him away, "I don't think so, this may be our anniversary but I'm not about to get it on in your car" she laughed.
"Oh fine, but you owe me" he huffed, jokingly.
Turning the ignition to awaken the car once more, Joe looked puzzled when nothing happened. He turned it again but still, nothing. Rollin her eyes Katie said "Come on, this has been done to death. Get on with it".
"Seriously, it won't start" Joe replied, demonstrating again that the car wasn't responding.
They were stranded in the middle of a wood with nowhere to go. Both checked their phones, Joe's was dead and Katie had no signal.
After what seemed like an age, Joe declared that he was going to find the nearest petrol station or public phone. Getting her coat ready to go with him, Katie nodded. "No, you stay here and keep warm in the car" he said.
"I'll be fine, I'm pretty sure there's a station about 30 minutes walk away" he reassured her.
Agreeing to stay with the car, Katie lightly kissed her boyfriend on the lips and settled into the back seat of the car. Slightly tired, Katie decided to have a nap whilst Joe was gone.
Tap, tap, tap. The distinct sound of tapping woke Katie up from her 'nap'. Looking at her watch, she discovered she had been sleeping for 3 hours. Puzzled that it had been so long without Joe returning, she peered out the window. It was night time and the density of the trees made it hard to see anything.
Worried she climbed into the front seat and tried the ignition one more time, a fruitless attempt she knew but she wanted to at least try. She played a game on her phone for a little while having forgotten about how she had been woken.
About 10 minutes after she began playing, the tapping noise had returned. Tap, tap, tap it went. Not knowing what could be making the noise puzzled her. Shining her phone out of the window, she saw that they were not parked underneath a tree despite the area they were in.
The tapping noise came and went every few minutes. Getting quite worried, she locked the doors and stopped using her phone. 20 minutes passed before any noise returned, this time however, it was a scraping noise that she heard. This freaked her out, lying down in the seat as low as she could, she closed her eyes and prayed for the noise to cease.
Knowing that something was wrong with Joe didn't help to ease her anxiety, if he had made it to a station he would have returned by now.
It had been at least 5 hours since Joe had left and about 2 of enduring the strange noises around the car. She was trying to think of anything just to take her mind off the situation. The noise started up again but was interrupted with flashing lights.
The light filled the car and Katie sighed in relief, Joe must have gotten help.
"This is the police, stay right where you are" a loud voice sounded through the air.
Puzzled, Katie wondered what on earth was going on. Unlocking her door she was greeted by a police officer looking pale. She looked around at the other officers and was immediately confused. They were all pointing guns right at her. "There must be some mistake, I've not done anything" she explained.
"Just come with me, you're not in any trouble" the officer replied gently. Walking towards the cars with him he added "We're going to get you out of here but whatever you do, don't look back towards the car".
Annoyed that he had said this, she looked like any normal person would. What she was greeted with made her throw up instantly on the muddy road.
Right there on top of her boyfriend's car was a dirty man holding a bloody axe in one hand and her boyfriends severed head in the other. The noise through the night was him tapping on the roof with his axe.
That is creepy, but why was the guy still on top of the car if the cops were there? Wouldn't they have shot him, or restrained him before getting her out? And why didn't he go after the girl in the car?
hard u r so true coz he would of like cut her with his axe and y would he be on the roof???

Sorry if this is a bit off the subject, but… this will make virtually anyone furious. Diets ultimately cause you to gain pounds in the long run, which has turned out to be more and more apparent in the weight issues epidemic that’s negatively effecting this unhealthy food, little physical activity generation. Are you aware that stadium seating had to be increased in order to support the rise in individual’s increasing, ahem… in girth size? This implies that we are now transforming into a even bigger country — and in no way in a smart way — of individuals than we have ever been before.
Our young ones are experiencing being overweight along with associated problem, such as diabetes and heart disease. I just read that in a scientific study 70 obese Western kids in the age ranges of 6 to 19 were subjected to many battery of lab tests to look at the end result that the food intake full of fat had on their youthful figures. The final results ended up being eye opening. All had high cholesterol levels and also were within the high-risk group of acquiring heart problems and heart failure, which a number of patients were already expressing indication of.
Will there be any hope for all of us?
I believe your answer should be certainly. Apparently pretty much all we end up needing is without question a little bit of exercise and diet. We all really need to start doing this Right now!
I wanted to just add this about teething. For young children experiencing pain related to teething, ease their discomfort by applying chamomile oil. A cloth should be wrapped around a cube of ice, add a drop of chamomile oil to the cloth. This should be held against the teeth and gums resulting in soothing effect.
Hope this helps your readers.
I wanted to talk weight loss. If you’d like lasting results with weight-loss you need a healthy approach. I believe this includes eating good foods, in small amounts, frequently, and exercising when you can. You can also try supplements that have vitamins and minerals in them and help to aid in weight loss. Thermogenic pills are excellent, and there are many different brands on the market. It is worth while testing these to see which works best for you. Of course, once you hit your goal weight then you can continue with eating well and exercising and forget the thermogenics. Overall, it’s about looking after yourself and taking care of your body.
It is no surprise that a large number of health-conscious folks decide to detoxify. All of us actually place our body’s under a great deal of pressure, especially when we consume foodstuffs and refreshments that are high in carbohydrates. Meals and booze stuffed with sugars regularly can easily place your body through a great deal. By thinking about what we ingest we can change our lives and our bodies.
Workouts, according to experts, might help avert major depression. Researchers have the idea that exercising on a regular basis is able to reduce anxiety attacks minimizing depression signs and symptoms.
Do you have a desire to prevent metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes? It’s possible to reduce these two problems by exerting control over your current diet regime and by looking after yourself and your health. You do not even need to take pricey prescribed drugs or even carry out complicated training.
Skincare is amongst the very best issues these days. There are various skin problems affecting plenty of people; there are also far more items developed to keep up these types of skin conditions in check.
I wanted to tell you about cancer fighting foods. In fact, anyone interested in living a long fulfilling life should be aware of this. Cancer, according to the website allcancerfightingfoods.com, is one of the most common health risks — according to the reports there have been over 1,5 million new cancer cases in the USA alone in 2011. Both men and women are equally exposed to danger. Main causes of cancer are carcinogens, and there are many natural carcinogens. Carcinogens exist in multitude of forms. For example, aflatoxin grows in fungus emerging on grains, nuts and peanut butter, dioxins, asbestos and others. However, there are foods that can help you reduce your risk of cancer and possibly eliminate cancer.

Five Offerings–One Perfect Sacrifice: Jesus, The Lamb Of God!
Everything in the New Testament can be found hidden somewhere in the Old. Everything hidden in Old has a New Covenant application. We no longer offer bulls and goats because Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to end them all.
We also no longer do we look to the Old Testament to find laws, laws, and more laws, but to bring out the spirit of the Law: To see Jesus! How do these offerings apply to us who are under the New Covenant? That’s what we are going to study.
In the five offerings of Leviticus we have seen beautiful, detailed, and sometimes very graphic pictures of Jesus: What He did for us at the cross and what He suffered.
Jesus’ high priestly prayer in the opening verse prayed to His Father for you and me. His earnest desire was “That they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:1-2.
The Apostle Peter wrote, “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,” in 2 Peter 1:2. Studying all these things causes us to “grow in the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, Whom He has sent,“ causing grace and peace to be multiplied in our lives as a byproduct!
How These Offerings Apply To Us.
Under the New Covenant, believe it or not, we still offer the Burnt offering, Grain, and Peace offerings. We no longer offer the sin and trespass offerings, however. What would offering the last two look like today?
Let’s say you really messed up and you promise God that if He gets you out of this mess, you’ll serve Him for the rest of your life. That’s like saying you want to DO something to pay for what your sin. But in effect, you are actually saying that what Jesus did at the cross was not completely effectual. It is trampling on His blood.
Church, there is nothing you can do to earn forgiveness for anything. It’s a free gift offered to you freely. If you could earn it, that would be a reward, not a gift. All you can do is confess your sin, thank Him for the forgiveness that was already supplied for your WHOLE LIFE the day you were saved, and ask Him to help you improve in your area of weakness.
By accepting Christ as our Savior, He has taken care of our sin nature (what we are) and our sinning (what we do) once and for all. We walk through life with His covering…remember the hide of the bullock…and thus have the same acceptance, “Radzon,” before God as Jesus.
Does that mean we walk through life perfectly, doing no wrong? Of course not; but as we occasionally sin, those thoughts, words, and deeds are ALREADY COVERED. Therefore we don’t pray TO BE FORGIVEN; we confess our sins because we already ARE.
Instead of offering bulls and goats, our praise to God with the “calves of our lips” are the “sacrifices we offer to God!
“A Sweet smelling aroma.” Hmmm…..Sound familiar? That’s what God smelled when Noah offered his Burnt Offering. And what was the result? God vowed He would NEVER destroy the whole world with a flood ever again.
The secret to successfully walking through life as a believer is found in these two verses. Both Jesus and the Apostle Peter clearly show us what that secret is: “To know You (the Father) and Jesus Christ, Whom He has sent.” By increasing in this knowledge, both grace and peace (shalom) WILL BE MULTIPLIED TO US. I WANT THAT!
Shalom: A Very Rich Word.
Grace is “unmerited favor.” Peace: “Shalom in Hebrew, in Greek: “Soteria,” is a very rich word. It is wholeness in every area: Peace of mind, which includes freedom from fear, prosperity in your life, in your relationships and in your finances, wholeness in your mind and in your emotions. These things are “MULTIPLIED” to you as your knowledge of Jesus increases.
Why We Study These Offerings.
Can knowledge of these things help you in your daily Christian walk, when the heat is on? Can they help when you are sick, when challenges in life rise up, or when us or your family is under attack by the enemy? Yes, because you are INCREASING IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS!
The very first record of Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection was on the Emmaus Road. He went through all the Law and the Prophets and explained to them “All the scriptures CONCERNING HIMSELF.” And what was the effect? They were so encouraged and so energized they practically ran all the way back to Jerusalem!
Folks, that a seven-mile trek…..and it was nearly dark. Amazing! That’s how excited they were. That’s how energized they were. And the first thing they wanted to do was share Jesus with their fellow believers!
This is a big secret for all you pastors out there. Show your people Jesus in all the scriptures. Bring out Jesus in the Old. Show them where the New is hidden in the Old. I guarantee you your Church will grow so much, you will have to add on! And you won’t have to tell your people to go out and evangelize; they won’t be able to shut up!
Fighting The Fight Of Faith.
Another perk of studying the Old Testament and seeing Jesus in all the scriptures about Him helps us in fighting the good fight of faith.
That’s how you “resist the devil” so he will flee from you: Speak out the word of God!
And how does the word get in your head so it comes out of your mouth? Faith comes by “hearing, and hearing by the WORD OF GOD.” When life happens, the Holy Spirit brings to mind what you have “heard.” He cannot, however, bring to mind that which you have not heard. We need to hear, and hear, and hear, and keep on hearing.
As you hear by studying God’s word, you are changed. You become calm in stressful situations because you are resting; you are seated in Christ. You understand how to guard your heart so it doesn’t fail you because of fear.
Your calm demeanor is a witness to your family, your friends, and your colleagues. Jesus said you will “Be witnesses,” not that you will “DO” witnessing.” By “hearing” you are transformed because you are beholding Jesus. You go see Him in all the stories, types and shadows that you are studying now, like looking at Jesus through an expanded view!
You see, while the doctrines of our faith are found in the New, the details are in the Old. Now, when you read through this book of laws, you’ll be able to see Jesus in the details of these amazing Five Offerings of Leviticus.

1. Know what you like. Flex started off doing custom jobs out of his own pocket. But before he could make a nice car look nicer, he had to look around to see what really caught his eye about other rides, both old and new.
2. Get it on paper. Flex has about three artists he trusts to draft “renderings” of his automotive visions. Look for someone you work well with, someone who can take direction without adding too many of their own ideas.
3. Price it out. Once you make a list of what you want and the parts you’ll need, price things out individually to get a sense of what your budget needs to be.
4. Don’t settle. Everything matters, from parts to labor. If you want this to be your dream ride, give up on the notion of doing it on the cheap. Keep quality high across the board.
5. Take your time. Whether you’re under the hood with a wrench every night or sending your car across the country for a known customizer to take a crack at it, be patient. It’ll take time to get it right. The results, however, will be spectacular.
6. Save up. Flex says you can expect to spend at least $5K on your ride “if you’re serious.” So, get serious and get your money together.
With this advice, you’re well on your way to parking a unique vehicle in your driveway. One more thing: Remember to call your insurance company when you’re done. You will have altered the vehicle, so if you want all those new doodads to be covered, you best let the insurance people know that a policy change is in order.

APA format is a formatting style that was created by the American Psychological Association. The purpose of APA format was to standardize the way in which papers were written in behavioral and social sciences. There is a manual published by the American Psychological Association which defines all of the aspects of formatting so that it is easier on writers and students alike to create a formal paper or academic essay and still meet the guidelines of the formatting.
The format paper should be double spaced using standard one inch margins, size 10 or 12 font, and Times New Roman.
You should have a page header for every page you write.
You should limit quotes in the body of your paper to less than 40 words with double quotation marks on either side. The citation for this should include the surname of the author, the year the article was published, and the number of pages inside of brackets.
If you use a quote which is longer than 40 words, you need to use block quotes, without quotation marks but indented five spaces.
You can use internet sources so long as you also reference the author’s name, the year it was published, the number of pages, the paragraph on the page you are referencing, and the heading.
If you reword the text of someone else in your paper but don’t directly quote them, you still need to mention their surname and the year the article was published.
Start with a title page for your final document which includes your title, your name, and your institution centered in the middle of the page.
Include an abstract that is between 100 and 200 words on the page following the title page.
Make sure you indent every new paragraph and that you include any necessary headings and subheadings. Academic essays may not require as many subheadings as a research paper, but it is important that you double check with the requirements from your teacher or class.
By adhering to these rules, you can ensure your academic essay is written in APA format correctly.

Tampa Podiatrist Says That Evan Longoria Has Got Some Nerve!
The pain that he suffered was the result of Morton’s neuroma. The pain may start off minor but left untreated pain can become debilitating. Many describe the pain as burning on the ball of the foot, sharp radiating pain into the toes or even cramping and burning in the toes. Relief often comes from removing the shoe and rubbing the foot followed by an application of ice.
So what can you do if this describes your foot problem? Don’t wait like Evan Longoria.
Your podiatrist can help with first diagnosing the problem often using ultrasound. Treatments may include arch supports, anti-inflammatories and in some cases injections.
Dr. Marc Katz, a Tampa podiatrist recommends surgical nerve removal as a very lastoption. He prefers foot cryosurgery for neuroma, a technique that he has refined over the past 7 years.
Here at Advanced Podiatry, we have the expertise to solve your foot pain.
So if you have a neuroma, call Dr. Katz to schedule an appointment and he will get you in immediately to get you back on your feet without pain.

Created especially for The Vivian to celebrate 125-years of women’s suffrage in New Zealand, we’re enormously proud to present our first all-women painting show Never an Answer – 12 Abstract Painters. Curated by Linda Tyler and Lucinda Bennett, it showcases the work of some of our most outstanding young abstract painters. This show also features two major Sally Gabori works, shown for the very first time in New Zealand.
2018 marks the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand. One of the aims of the Suffrage 125 commemorations is to celebrate game-changing individuals of a range of ages and cultural and socio-economic backgrounds who do extraordinary things to create positive social change for women and New Zealand. We have chosen this moment to celebrate an eclectic group of abstract painters who are women.
Each of the 12 abstract painters in Never an Answer takes the language of abstraction and uses it to their own ends. They explore new ways of painting based on experimental, process-oriented methods. Intended to take common imagery and make it strange, their works preclude figurative recognition or easy comprehension. By devoting themselves to process, these artists experience revelation in the deliberate progression of steps of creative expression.

But now the legend of "Nessie" may have no place left to hide. A New Zealand scientist is leading an international team to the lake next month, where they will take samples of the murky waters and conduct DNA tests to determine what species live there.
University of Otago professor Neil Gemmell says he's no believer in Nessie, but he wants to take people on an adventure and communicate some science along the way. Besides, he says, his kids think it's one of the coolest things he's ever done.
One of the more far-fetched theories is that Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur that somehow survived the period when dinosaurs became extinct. Another theory is that the monster is actually a sturgeon or giant catfish. Many believe the sightings are hoaxes or can be explained by floating logs or strong winds.
Gemmell said that when creatures move about in water, they leave behind tiny fragments of DNA. It comes from their skin, feathers, scales and urine.
He said his team will take 300 samples of water from different points around the lake and at different depths. They will filter the organic material and extract the DNA, he said, sequencing it by using technology originally created for the human genome project.
He said the DNA results will then be compared against a database of known species. He said they should have answers by the end of the year.
"I'm going into this thinking it's unlikely there is a monster, but I want to test that hypothesis," Gemmell said. "What we'll get is a really nice survey of the biodiversity of the Loch Ness."
He said the real discoveries may come in determining things like the prevalence of invasive species.
Gemmell, 51, said he first visited Loch Ness in his late 20s while on vacation. Like thousands of tourists before him, he gazed out over the lake trying to catch sight of a monster. He said he first came up with the idea of testing DNA from the lake a couple of years ago and it resonated with many, including his children, aged 7 and 10.
Graeme Matheson, chief of the Scottish Society of New Zealand, said he, too, has visited Loch Ness and gazed out over the water, and that he wishes Gemmell all the best.
"I hope he and his cohorts find something, although I think they'll be battling," Matheson said. "Still, it's a good way to get a trip to Scotland."
Gemmell said that even if they don't find any monster DNA, it won't deter some Nessie believers. He said they've already been offering him theories, like that Nessie might be on vacation after swimming to the sea via hidden underwater caves, or that the creature might be extraterrestrial and not leave behind any DNA.
"In our lives we want there still to be mysteries, some of which we will ultimately solve," Gemmell said. "That's part of the spirit of discovery. And sometimes, what you find may not be what you were expecting."
University of Otago professor Neil Gemmell says he's no believer in Nessie, but he wants to take people on an adventure and communicate some science along the way.
..anyhow: Testing the DNA from the lake has other (and actual) benefits than checking for mythical monsters.
"This is an undated file photo of a shadowy shape that some people say is a photo of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland."
-Uh no, the gynecologist who made that fake wooden model owned up to it in an old documentary decades ago.
A good example of how old lies refuse to die because lazy article writers fail to exercise due diligence.
Bah. They even forgot to mention feces in the article. Are we all children?
No one can ever dispel Nessy, the monster lives in the Loch; it's no coincidence Nessy lives in Loch Ness.
The Loch is named after Nessy how does every one think the Loch Ness got its name!
It's a myth, it cannot be dispelled. Nessy hides in the many underground tunnels, because Nessy is camera shy, Nessy waits till the coast is clear and sneaks out across the loch, which is why Nessy only appears in poor grainy photographs.
Nessy's myth is secure for time immortal.
Nessy has just released a private communicate to all Nessy fans, no one has ever managed to capture Nessy and consequently no DNA samples obtained from the loch can be substantiated because as long as Nessy can remember going back aeons no one has obtained so much as much as a poor grainy photograph!
Well, strictly speaking, "some people say" is correct.
Is that King Kong riding?
it would have to be, considering Nessie is considerably larger than bigfoot, right?
There apparently was something of the type living in the Great Lakes watershed at the time of the European settlement. My great-grandfather described an aquatic snake-like creature 3-5 meters in length that he initially mistook for a drowned tree sticking out of the water, similar stories are scattered throughout the area. It appears to have been wiped out a century or more ago.
Better get used to the scenario of Plesiosaurus. According to this conversation http://www.future...port_230 starting in paragraph 108, at least in 1989 no less than 3 of them could be found in the Loch with its deep connection to the Atlantic.
"Not everything you read on the internet is true."
You have a strange definition of conspiracy. My preference is to call that information pretty extreme and irritating claims (without hidden agenda) that deserve scrutiny, because being very consequential if true. I would rather call each and every religion and sect to be a conspiracy (with terrible effects), needing to be called out as what they are. Here my gentle advice. If one day you come to the scientific conclusion that the likelihood of us humans on Earth being the sole intelligent conscious life form in this universe is different from zero, you might want to follow my example and also want to consider using some of your spare time for checking out, if this farmer in Switzerland might eventually have more to tell and show than the photos from the 70ties of space crafts that had made their way to the X-Files.

Yes the title is correct, last month I visited Düsseldorf for 36 hours. I only found out last-minute that I was going as it was for my cousins stag do. I honestly didn’t think much of it and was quite pessimistic about the destination thinking there wouldn’t be much going on, other than some scary local Germans looking at us in detest; how wrong I was.
Flying early on the Saturday morning on ‘Germanwings’ (a very cheap airline to fly with but also had a bit of a history for engine failures and crashes) I flew on a propeller plane which only took an hour and a half. Arriving in the city, taxis were readily available and the hotel was easy to locate. The city basically runs next to the river Rhine, so we just had to walk towards the river to find where everything was going on.
The nightlife in Düsseldorf was something else. It was absolutely mobbed and had every type of bar or club you could think of from heavy metal to your more typical club pop music. The atmosphere in the city was great and you felt safe pretty much everywhere you went. Besides the odd smashed glass there was no trouble whatsoever.
I didn’t see much of the city, however the next morning we had a bit of a wonder round and saw the city in proper day light, the buildings all looked beautiful and the public transport was super easy to use. We got a river cruise up and down the river Rhine, that really showed off the city, it was also only about 14 quid, lasted around 45 mins too an hour and you could get unlimited drinks from the bar onboard.
I definitely want to plan a return trip to Düsseldorf in the future, it is an underestimated, wonderful city with a lot to offer and definitely deserves more than 36 hours to explore and really get to know as a city. My short trip there has changed my perspective on Germany as a whole and I would like to see more of the country like Cologne, Munich and Hamburg.

Perennial third-party presidential candidate Ralph Nader was asked by Hardball's Chris Matthews on Monday, "Is there anybody in this campaign you like the looks of that can win, so that you wouldn't have to run?"
"I do like Kucinich. But the frontrunners -- Edwards now has the most progressive message across a broad spectrum ... of any leading candidate I've seen in years," Nader replied. "The key phrase is when he says he doesn't want to replace a corporate Republican with a corporate Democrat. ... He raises the issue of the concentration of power and wealth in a few hands that are working against the interests of the vast majority of the American people."
"What's the alternative to corporate power?" Matthews asked.
"Sovereignty of the people," responded Nader. "It's people taking back their government ... cleaning up campaign corruption ... empowering workers ... controlling Congress."
Matthews asked Nader, "Why did the corporations win all the big fights?" and said that what concerns him even more than corporate power is the prospect of a company like Chrysler being sold to a private equity firm, which has no accountability even to shareholders. "Won't we wish we had the corporations back again?" he asked. Nader agreed, but had no answers to suggest.
Matthews then raised the charge that Nader cost Gore the 2000 election by taking 1.63% of the votes in Florida and that he'd violated a promise not to run in any contested states. Nader replied that he'd always said he would run in all 50 states and insisted that "Gore won in Florida."
Nader also argued that his own candidacy helped Gore overall. "By pushing Gore to take more progressive policies, unlike what Lieberman wanted to do, social scientists concluded that the Green campaign got more votes for Gore," Nader stated. "Every time he went out after the oil, drug, insurance companies, his polls went up."
"A lot of people think that pulled him away from the center," Matthews commented.
"It's a false assessment," Nader replied, suggesting that rather than trying to preserve their monopoly over progressive voters, the Democratic Party should have stolen his 2000 platform.
"Wouldn't the old Democrats have taken it away and gotten more votes?" he asked. "Living wage, full universal health care, restructuring of the tax system, giving more voice to ordinary folks. They didn't. That's the reason they lost."
Nader concluded by emphasizing that he could not endorse Obama because "he doesn't have the agenda" but that "if Edwards wins ... and he doesn't back off" he might support him.
"One of my heroes, Ralph Nader," concluded Matthews.

NAHMA received the message below from HUD, regarding a Management Fee Add-On for Homeless Preference. The memo that provides additional guidance on requesting the fee may be found here.
The Office of Multifamily Housing has been working steadily to increase the number of assisted properties with homeless preferences and previously homeless admissions to our housing inventory. In recognition of the time and effort spent by management agents to establish and administer a homeless preference, we are pleased to announce the availability of a new management fee add-on and special fee.
Per this memo, owners of Multifamily assisted housing can now negotiate an add-on and/or a special fee with their property management company to assist in implementing a homeless preference.
The processes for requesting, approving, and monitoring these fees are detailed in the memo.

The node size you select for your cluster impacts costs, performance, and fault tolerance.
Memcached clusters contain one or more nodes with the cluster's data partitioned across the nodes. Because of this, the memory needs of the cluster and the memory of a node are related, but not the same. You can attain your needed cluster memory capacity by having a few large nodes or several smaller nodes. Further, as your needs change, you can add nodes to or remove nodes from the cluster and thus pay only for what you need.
The total memory capacity of your cluster is calculated by multiplying the number of nodes in the cluster by the RAM capacity of each node after deducting system overhead. The capacity of each node is based on the node type.
The number of nodes in the cluster is a key factor in the availability of your cluster running Memcached. The failure of a single node can have an impact on the availability of your application and the load on your back-end database while ElastiCache provisions a replacement for the failed node and it gets repopulated. You can reduce this potential availability impact by spreading your memory and compute capacity over a larger number of nodes, each with smaller capacity, rather than using a fewer number of high capacity nodes.
11 cache.t2.medium nodes with 3.22 GB of memory and 2 threads each = 35.42 GB and 22 threads.
6 cache.m4.large nodes with 6.42 GB of memory and 2 threads each = 38.52 GB and 12 threads.
3 cache.r4.large nodes with 12.3 GB of memory and 2 threads each = 36.90 GB and 6 threads.
3 cache.m4.xlarge nodes with 14.28 GB of memory and 4 threads each = 42.84 GB and 12 threads.
* Hourly cost per node as of October 22, 2018.
† Monthly cost at 100% usage for 30 days (720 hours).
These options each provide similar memory capacity but different computational capacity and cost. To compare the costs of your specific options, see Amazon ElastiCache Pricing.
Using multiple nodes will require spreading the keys across them. Each node has its own endpoint. For easy endpoint management, you can use the ElastiCache the Auto Discovery feature, which enables client programs to automatically identify all of the nodes in a cluster. For more information, see Automatically Identify Nodes in your Memcached Cluster.
If you're unsure about how much capacity you need, for testing we recommend starting with one cache.m5.large node and monitoring the memory usage, CPU utilization, and cache hit rate with the ElastiCache metrics that are published to CloudWatch. For more information on CloudWatch metrics for ElastiCache, see Monitoring Use with CloudWatch Metrics. For production and larger workloads, the R5 nodes provide the best performance and RAM cost value.
If your cluster does not have the desired hit rate, you can easily add more nodes, thereby increasing the total available memory in your cluster.
If your cluster turns out to be bound by CPU but it has sufficient hit rate, try setting up a new cluster with a node type that provides more compute power.

Częstochowa is called a spiritual capital of Poland. The city is a centre of the cult of the Virgin Mary in Poland, and the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa is known for its miraculous defence of Jasna Góra. What other stories are hidden in this place?
The history of Czestochowa dates back to the thirteenth century, and the city developed rapidly just in the next century, owing its glory days to the location near the route connecting the two regions- Małopolska and Wielkopolska. In the fifteenth century, on the outskirts of Czestochowa, the Pauline monastery of Jasna Góra was built. The building, added in 1994 to the list of history monuments, played a huge role in the Polish history. During the Swedish invasion, the enemy troops have besieged Jasna Góra for two months, and then they had to retreat at the end of December, 1655. The Polish king John II Casimir entrusted the country to the icon kept in the monastery. Today, the miraculous image of Our Lady of Czestochowa is the destination of the Poles’ pilgrimage, and Jasna Góra monastery is the centre of the cult of the Virgin Mary in Poland.
Jasna Gora monastery and basilica are undoubtedly the most famous and the most often visited monument. In Czestochowa, you can easily find many other sacred objects, which should not be skipped during the trip. The most interesting of them are: St. Jacob church on Bieganski Square, which was built as an Orthodox church, as well as the oldest temple in the city – fourteenth-century St. Zygmunt church on Daszynski Square. An interesting attraction is Miniature Park Złota Gora, which presents miniatures of sanctuaries from all over the world created by the artists from Kraków at a scale of 1:25. While walking around Czestochowa, it is impossible to pass by almost 2-km long Avenue of the Holy Virgin Mary surrounded by beautiful houses. Noteworthy are also: a unique Museum of Match Production with the only European machine park running from the 30s of the twentieth century and Archeological Reserve of Lusatian culture. Czestochowa also presents tourists its green face – Jasna Gora Parks are a real enclave, and mountaineering fans can start a trip on one of the trails leading through the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland.

Keesler AFB, MS 1951. This was while I was in Electronics School. All airman going through school were photographed and their picture placed on the wall with name and home town.
Crew 1-27-'53 is the crew picture of the flight when Kingdom Harvey (News Reporter) was aboard the flight.
Norman D. (Jack) Warren, Sr. & son, Norman D. (Doug) Warren, Jr., viewing Sweaters and Medals of Olympians Shea Weber (Team Canada-Gold Medal) and Ryan Suter Team USA-Silver Medal), both Nashville Predators players.
We arrived at Limestone AFB (10 degrees), on March 26, 1953 TDY from Ft. Worth (75 degrees), where we were issued Artic clothing. When we landed, there was snow banks on both sides of the runway. We were loaded on buses and transported to Building 6000 (the brick bluilding). Our barracks and orderly room was on the ground floor, as was the chow hall and most everything. We were wearing the Artiic clothing and the guys that had been there all winter was wearing shirt sleeves. Probably 4 foot of snow.
I was fortunate enough to be assigned to flight line and in-fly maintianance on the Bomb-Nay System (K-System) on a certain B-36. Normally I flew with a certain B-36 when it flew, most of the time with a different crew each time. On one flight General Bertram Harrison flew with us. When we landed, we bounced about 3 times. On the bus back to base ops, one of the airmam commented to the Aircraft Commander " Captain, you sure bounced us on that landing". The Captain reply "yes". Guess who was at the controls on landing? You guessed it! General Harrison.
My last day (October 1, 1954) was the first day for Loring AFB, prior to that the base was Limestone AFB. The day was calm as I had processed out prior to that day. As one of the 'early outs' for college, we weren't given any briefings about benefits and such. The bomb-nav section lost about 15-20 men to the 'early out' regulation, General Bertram Harrison was unhappy about it.
Oct 1954, I entered Middle Tennessee State College in Murfreesboro, TN in Pre-Engineering. April 1955,while still attending MTSC, I opened a roller skating rink, (which I still operate). Sept 1956, I decided that with a wife and 2 sons that I should work a year prior to entering EE school at University of Tennessee. I worked for 11 years at Anorld Engineering Development Center in Tullahoma, TN as an Instrument Tech. During these 11 years, our wind tunnels tested most of the missles, space capsules, Bell X aircraft, and lifting body shapes that are in use today in the space program. Our tunnels were the first in the free world to allow us to reach excape velicity. I left AEDC in 1967 and opened an Audio & Video retail store. Today I still go to the office and oversee both businesses. One son manages the Audio & Video store and the youngest son manages the Skatecenter. My oldest son is a pharmaist for a company that ships medicine all over the country for the VA. My wife, a Fort Fairfield/ Perth, New Brunswick girl, of 56 years is still not a Tennesse girl but we remain together.

Santa Clara Dental works with sleep apnea dental patients in the San Jose area. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is very common and if left untreated can cause individuals to stop breathing during their sleep for a minute or more. Each time this happens the brain will wake a person up for a moment in order to get them breathing again, which results in sleep being interrupted frequently and leaving the individual tired throughout the day.
TOO BUSY TO SCHEDULE OVER THE PHONE?
Request an appointment online! It's convenient, fast, and easy, and always available.

The criminal mastermind has never looked better.
Netflix has finally answered the age-old question, "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" It turns out that the red-hatted heroine of animated '90s children's television and comics will soon be damn near everywhere.
The streaming platform previously announced an animated TV reboot of Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego? was on the way with Jane the Virgin actress Gina Rodriguez voicing the titular character. Now, Netflix has also announced Rodriguez will also star in a live-action movie adaption.
Kids born after 2000 may not even know who Carmen Sandiego is, but they are about to be inundated.
"The series will be based on the iconic educational computer game franchise that followed Sandiego as she travelled across the world stealing national treasures," reads a description from Variety.
"It will offer an intimate look into the character’s past where viewers will not only follow her escapades but also learn who in the world is Carmen Sandiego and why she became a super thief."
The TV show is slated for a 2019 release, and child actor Finn Wolfhard of Netflix hit Stranger Things will voice Ms. Sandiego's right-hand man Player. Netflix has ordered 20 episodes, each clocking in at around 22 minutes.
Far less is known about the movie; although, star Gina Rodriguez better have her red coat and fedora ready. Catch her on the big screen now, in the sci-fi freak fest Annihilation.
On in her many sizzling Instagrams, below.

New for 2018, we invite you to into the very heart of Andean Shamanism. Working with Internationally renowned Archaeologist, Curandero, and Maestro of the fabled Wachuma (San Pedro) plant medicine, Dr Ruben Orellana. We are honoured to offer one the most unique and authentic San Pedro experiences on the planet; welcome to the world of The Cactus.
The Andes, home to a history that has evolved over at least 25,000 years. That is, until the arrival of Europeans in the 16th Century.From then on and under the establishment of the Catholic Inquisition, many traditional practices were forced underground, or tragically lost to us forever.
Those shamanic practices that have survived are now few and far between, with much of what is considered authentic or whole; is in truth, a fragmented understanding of the diverse energies these ancient lands and its people hold.
True knowledge in Andean civilization, it’s history, culture, practices and ceremonies takes a lifetime of dedication and research. None know this better than your personal guide for this once in a lifetime workshop….
Dr Ruben Orellana is a Native Andean and Curandero. – Formerly the Chief Archaeologist of the UNESCO world heritage site – Machu Picchu, for over 20 years. We are honoured to offer the opportunity to learn from a leading authority on the same sacred sites you will visit, immersing you in the very heart of Andean Shamanism. Partaking in various ceremonies with curanderos of authentic lineages, as well as under Ruben Orellana himself, also known as a maestro of San Pedro in his own right.
This is a comprehensive workshop covering the cactus known indigenously as Wachuma, commonly as San Pedro, and scientifically as Echinopsis Pachanoi. Archaeological evidence points to this plant medicine being used for more than 5,000 years by different civilizations of the Andes, as well as the Chavin, Los Moches, Nazca, Los Wari and Incas.
Our one-of-a-kind workshop is designed to introduce you to ancient ceremonies that have survived the test of time. Showcasing the healing arts of the Andes, helping you to grow spiritually, and detoxify.
New for 2018, Shamanic Space is proud to present the Wachuma Intensive Workshop.
Please contact Michele for a full itinerary and information pack.

Every night we try to put the kids down close to 8:00 or 8:30. About a half hour or so after we've finished Scarlett's long routine of singing, reading, prayers and cuddles, she yells from the top of the stairs "Mom and Dad! Come see my room! I cleaned it all! Come fast!". As if it's going to change in a matter of seconds we dash up as we've been commanded, to see a room with a clean floor. Not a toy touching the carpet. Then we look at the tops of her dresser, night stand and toy chest to see shoes, toys, blankets and more toys stacked in piles. But to our toddler, a clean floor equals a clean room! This has been happening nightly for the last couple weeks. Her efforts of cleanliness and impressing us are darling. The first couple nights I embellished emotions of pride. Now as I look at endless piles stacked (I swear it's far beyond what was actually on the floor) I try to explain that it's not quite clean until things are put in their correct places. Then we end our "cleaning" session by placing a few toys back in their homes and spend an extra half hour cuddling, telling more stories and singing a couple more songs, which I'm pretty sure was her plan all along. This phase of life can be pretty exhausting. I watch some women handle it like champs and feel like a real wimp for being exhausted at the end of most days. Having two kids so little and so close in age can be quite energy draining for this mom. It's easy to feel like I'm not doing enough, accomplishing enough or pushing them enough, especially having a child with special needs. Some days I get down on myself for not working harder on ABC's with Scarlett or crawling with Welles. Then I realize what these babies of mine really want and need, is extra cuddle time and a mom who isn't burnt out from trying to do it all... Which I am far from, btw. And when I say far from, I mean miles away.
Some days it feels like this season of life is never going to pass. Like I'm going to change diapers forever and clean up after every single spill and toy for a life time. Then I realize it's going by too fast (diapers excluded). Scarlett is becoming so independent and self sufficient. Welles isn't a baby anymore... While time is slower in the stages of development and I get him as a baby and toddler longer than most other children, he's coming into his own little fun-toddler personality, whcih is the funnest. I already miss the floppy little baby he used to be.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I love each new phase of my kids growth, but I know I need to slow down and enjoy these little things, like a messy/clean room;).
In other news, I am determined to potty train Scarlett this week. By announcing this I feel like I can't fail... Again. Yeah, see what I mean when I say I'm far from doing it all? Scarlett is plenty capable, plenty old enough and still not potty trained. I'd say that's some pretty good under-achieving on my part. I know a lot of people wait on potty training, but this girl has been showing "ready" signs for a long time now. I'm dreading it as the first attempt almost sent me into a nervous breakdown and showed me the power that a three-year-old has over me. Heaven help us. If this incredibly boring potty training book doesn't teach me how this works, I will be terribly angry for the time spent reading it and trying not to fall asleep. Any tips? Send my way!
My little teenager.... For heavens sake, stop trying to look so grown up, child.
Wrestle match. Believe it or not, he won.

Sometimes, the biggest irony of your life gives you a greater advantage over managing its affairs. Little did singer-actor Kiran Chaudhry know that her British passport would be instrumental in giving her a privilege only a few could ever dream of. Even imagining hassle-free travel between Pakistan and India is improbable, but her life is a living testament of the possibilities this proposition proposes. That moving freely between two loggerhead nations is plausible but only if your nationality bears the stamp of the Colonial power.
“It definitely is ironic that in order to move freely between the two countries I have to be a passport holder of our former coloniser. However, I feel I am lucky and blessed because I am experiencing life in undivided India, and it is an enriching and a wonderful experience,” Kiran says.
Her engagement with India, like every Pakistani, began at an early age. The arrival of the news that friends or relatives were travelling to India invariably lent a euphoric air to the atmosphere, and the excitement would later translate into a long list of shopping items, which would be handed over to the ‘lucky’ ones travelling to the other side.
“For people living in Pakistan, it is more interesting and exciting to come to India than to go to any other country. India is definitely an interesting place to come,” she says. Hence her story was no different when she came to India for short trips.
She wouldn’t have the faintest idea that one day India’s financial capital would become her second home. But life is all about surprises, and she surprised herself in early 2012 when she fell in love with an Indian restaurateur Riyaaz Amlani. She was on her way to Goa for a wedding in 2011. Mumbai was her stopover and common friends had suggested her to meet him because he was well-known in the hospitality industry. So the group of friends met at a café in Bandra and the two instantly hit off well. The love was mutual, but both were hesitant to charter a prohibited territory because of the vulnerability this association was likely to bring forth.
“We took our sweet time to decide. This is because if you come from these two countries, you know things are already complicated and you don’t want to complicate them further. And falling in love and getting married to people from these two nations is really not on your top-of-the-to-do-list. So we waited and gave our relationship some time,” she recollects.
And within six months of their courtship, they were engaged, followed by a grand wedding in December, 2012 in Lahore. Since then she was been shuttling between India and Pakistan. “I don’t know how this marriage would have worked out if I was not a British passport holder. I know of couples who had had such a traumatic experience that they had to move their base to Dubai to live a peaceful life,” she tells me from Bangalore where she was with her husband to launch their new restaurant.
Mother of two-year-old Khayaal, Kiran has successfully straddled between the two worlds — of personal and professional. If in Pakistan she is still remember as the lead vocalist of a band called Club Caramel or the actor who recently worked in Shah, in India, she is the visionary entrepreneur behind the multi-designer store ‘Anhad’, which stocks the very best of Pakistani fashion like Elan by Khadijah Shah, Farida Hasan, Sania Maskatiya,Sapphire and Faraz Manan.
Since she enjoys a bird’s eye view of the two nations, Kiran has used this virtue to identify potential and profitable markets that would increase the trade between India and Pakistan. Fashion, according to her, is one of them. The biggest testimony of her entrepreneurial judgement is the fact that within a year of opening her flagship store, the fashion house has opened two pop up stores in Delhi, NCR, and is going to test waters in Mumbai soon. “Fashion just happened by chance. It was at the behest of my Pakistani friends that I started organising fashion exhibitions in India to help them sell their apparels. They were really successful. That is when I realised that there was a good demand for Pakistani fashion in India, and hence came the store,” she says.
“They are quite happy in their world,” she says. However, she is quick to point out, that one of the possible reasons for this complacency could be the battles the nation is fighting, internally — of economic mismanagement, civil issues and most importantly, terrorism. “The plague of our times is terrorism and it can only be handled with concerted efforts by the world,” she says.
Kiran’s multicultural education background exposed her to the vagaries of conflict, war and terrorism when, at the age of 15, she received a prestigious international scholarship and went to Wales on a two-year programme. The scholarship was aimed to create a network of students who would be instrumental in preventing conflict and develop a fair understanding of geo-politics.
After this scholarship, she received an offer from Oxford where she chose Philosophy, Politics and Economics as a subject for her undergraduate studies. And then she decided to become a lawyer; she worked in a corporate firm for five years in London before packing her bags to join her father in the family business of textile mills.
All these experiences have come together and transformed her into a person who isn’t only a fine example of beauty with brains, but also someone who looks at the world through the prism of practicality — and in her view the fragile and volatile relationship between India and Pakistan is nothing but a “shame” because the two nations are only losing out on the possibilities that a meaningful association would bring on the table.
“Pakistan is still a virgin market for India. I personally feel that trade is the surest way to bring peace. Look at colonial powers. How during the World War, European countries were fighting with each other, but they were quick to realise that in perennial fighting only they will be losing out on trade. So they formed a block and came together. This is what India and Pakistan too should try — develop an understanding that they have more to gain from each other,” she says.
She feels the smartest and the surest way for reconciliation between the two nations can be possible only if they become interdependent. “India and Pakistan should get married to nurture a genuine commitment to bring both sides together and have more aligned interests. Once they start working towards common goals, they will start benefiting. In fact, if this happens they can give China a run for its money. But, such a companionship needs commitment. And it is a shame that we aren’t letting that happen,” she adds.
Elaborating on the latest rhetoric that has led to Pakistani actors being banned in India, Kiran says that art should be left alone from politics because they have a global audience — an audience that doesn’t love or hate them for their nationality, but admire them for their talent.
“Audience doesn’t watch them because they are Indians or Pakistanis. They have a following because of their talent and the reason why Pakistani or Indian artists are popular across the border is because we share common culture and it is easy to connect. It is about language and culture, and not about national boundaries,” she says.
What happens in such cases, she points out, is that when you are banning films or actors, audience finds a way of accessing them — hence flourishes a network of piracy and illegal hubs. “It becomes a forbidden fruit,” she says with wry humour.
“And since no publicity is bad publicity. The government and media houses in India have given so much publicity to Pakistani actors for the past month that even those who didn’t know about them have been introduced to these names. They might go and watch the films in which they feature, which otherwise they wouldn’t have. So, I feel this whole discourse has been a little misguided,” she says.
The real losers, according to her, are cinema owners and viewers who are going to lose out, if films featuring Pakistani or Indian actors are banned. “Only they will suffer. People would still watch these films, their viewing will suffer and privacy will flourish. So, if you analyse it closely, these clashes only affect business,” she adds.
She hopes to get back on creative front and love what she enjoys the most — being in front of the camera. However, her son and her fashion store top her priority list for now. “With a two-year-old it is a bit difficult to get back into action in full force. Right now, my stores need my full attention and without getting distracted by any other project, I will continue to focus on this business,” she concludes.
