Phoenix Returning
I woke up with a sunrise
Echoing in my eyes,
The colors all collide,
And all that I can find
Is being alive
Engrained in every surface where it shines.
What else could I do but trade
The limits of the world for a song,
The song in whose melody
I’ve always belonged?
Believing the words held in silence so long,
I am, I am, so grateful to be.
The categories stripped away,
The day made out in perfect contour
Against the breathing sky,
And I, The crying light beaming,
Each a color that streams,
And the words form wings.
They dance each ray of light leaping,
Expanding from every point, changing never leaving.
Like a young universe, carving its own horizon,
I reach out, there Is no point
From which I begin or then return,
I am, I am, so grateful to be.
And so I rise,
With the sun rising in my eyes,
Surrendering the need to try,
I know I can’t fall, only fly.
What else could I do but trade
The fears of this world for a song,
The song in whose melody
I’ve always belonged?
There is more to our lives
Than the world will let on,
Night has it’s stars, from the ashes I’ve gone,
I rise, I rise, and always I’ll be.
The Challenge to Value Myself Over What Others Might Think of Me
September 3, 2014
To Those in the Otherworld Who Walk Their Journey with Me:
A Year Ago Today _ When Two Worlds Meet: Part 9
July 26, 2013
The order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids,
“It’s already happening,” White Fire says quietly.
I am counting my blessings,
Listing all that’s gone right,
I recount all the times I have conquered the night.
When I was told I could not,
Still I took flight,
Encouraged by those in the world beyond life.
The threads make their crossing, I am never alone,
Through the paths intertwining, I have come home.
And it’s what they said, words to silence the lies:
They tell me that I am enough in their eyes.
Enough, yes, enough,
I’ve lost count of the times
I repeat I’m enough,
Enough, enough in their eyes.
Until no doubt lingers lost
In the maze of my mind,
Enough, I will whisper, mending whole what’s gone by.
And I thought I would never encounter this treasured
Incredible gift to live up to the measure
Of all I am made of simply by being,
And though sometimes I wonder
What within me they’re seeing,
They swear I’m enough
And it’s truth that they’re speaking.
I think I will scream,
I think I will shout
This truth that shattered my world inside out,
Crying my joy, since all I wished for in dreaming,
Now I am living, the world more than its seeming,
Despite so much disagreeing, I am believing,
And incredulously, endlessly ever worth keeping,
I am enough,
And my eyes they are gleaming.
Recovering a belonging, I thought never I’d find,
Neither selfish nor selfless nor too wrong or right,
There are no conditions, no snares or old twine:
Oisín’s Song _ When Two Worlds Meet: Part 8
Oisín’s Song
Hush there my darling and cease now your weeping
I and the trees watch over you,
See me where grasses breathe in the sunlight
Meet me where hummingbirds drink in the dew.
I am the song of the sky in the morning
I write the lyrics of new falling snow
When loneliness calls you I wait in its silence
Nearer or farther, wherever you go.
Though you doubt your worth often, the truth is your aching
With all that’s within you to let go and fly
Please don’t forget you were made with the stars’ dust
While you’re here growing, remember to shine.
Hush now my darling, the night has reclaimed you
Dream of the dawning of a world without fear
In you is the turning of life’s yearning motion
In you is the beauty of unfolding years.
So much to know and to see and to wonder
Eternal and fragile one, take in all you can
The joys of the world that surrounds you are fleeting
But they all hold the memory of each woman and man.
Trust in the strength that lies buried inside you
For you help shape the world through your words and your hands
You possess all that’s needed to center and guide you
And when you’re uncertain, know that I understand.
Hush there my darling there’s no need for weeping
Though while you’re alive you get battered and torn
If you were not here now the hills would be grieving
Better life’s sorrow than to have never been born
Think of the fireflies who emerge every evening
Think of the salmon that swim in the streams
With their flashlights and wisdom they dance what lies hidden
Without ever questioning what it all means.
I’ve seen through the eyes of a deer in the meadow
I’ve known the pain of separation and hate
I’ve lost those I love to the weight of their shadows
There’s still time for changing, it isn’t too late.
Hush now young dear one, and don’t give up trying
There is a place here for all you can share
Life isn’t easy but it’s worth every moment
All your wild longing, live out if you dare.
People are rushing through days strange and empty
With food on their tables, they’re starving for time
And for all that’s new out there to manufacture connection
They don’t come to belong to who they are deep inside.
No wonder it’s easy to get lost in the endless
Relentless refrain that you’re falling behind
To so much wanton wanting, know that you need not listen
You don’t have to hurry, you’re enough in my eyes.
Come now and rest for the time is to dreaming
Weaving the web of all that your days could hold
Just close your eyes now and come home to the rhythm
I watched you surrender to life and to healing
Your light mending silently the scars that you’ve known
I watched as your eyes changed from embers to hearth fires
And the joy of your knowing was also my own.
If you ever worry that you can’t do enough here
Know you’re not alone, and the world vast and humbling
Is great and mysterious, so much more than you see.
Hush and be still now, the time’s not for weeping
I am the song that you sing through your day
Nothing is lost, nothing is wasted
All the most beautiful moments remain.
I am the color of fog in the moonlight
I am the cry of a wakening child
I know the songs that seeds sing while their sleeping
Meet me where roads fade and the land becomes wild.
You’ve seen what I see, the world through my eyes
You know the path that is taken by few
The world that appears free of limits or lies
All exists intertwined, and I share it with you.
Hush there my darling and cease now your weeping
I and the trees watch over you,
You’ll see me where grasses breathe in the sunlight
Meet me where hummingbirds drink in the dew.
Lessons In The Landscape
Change comes, in little packets of seasons. Each time one opens, it adds flavor to the landscape; salty or sweet depending on its mood. When I become the landscape, feet take on new importance to me. When I get stepped on, my rhythms stop, and I lie still like an ocean without an undertow. There will always be a landscape.
Sometimes, it is easy to sculpt like sandcastles peaking out from under grain, as close as the distance between two hands. Sometimes on a distant shore, I awake not knowing where I am, and wander for days until I find a river to trace back to my beginnings. When I arrive the terrain changes, takes on more mass, perhaps. It moves slower than I do and knows more than me. What it knows it cannot tell me, although I can always find it in myself.
I am standing with the trees. I am grounded under them. I am flying above them, carried by my wings. The wings are actually made of thread, and I fly because I will do anything to be a light beam.
I have a country all my own, full of particles with particular personalities. They don’t have good resonance, but their echoes do. There is always something falling—a leaf, a broken wing—and always feet first. Whenever I land on my feet, I assume I’m a child. Whenever I land on my feet, I am forced to remember that I have grown up.
I have never built a cocoon. I am somewhere between larva and butterfly, but don’t know how I got here. The people in this country never wanted me to change: they carved their hands into me so I couldn’t own my body, or my words. There are other children like me inhabiting this country who scatter like particles with no freedom to harmonize. Chaos is white in particles and dark purple in children. Children are purple because they have to hold their voices in like breaths, and lose life quickly. As a child who loved purple, I could never make sense of the world I was born into or why no one sees the signs that guide them back to their own voices.
Silences I think are clearer compared to reverberation and those haunting echoes that make me cry. If silence covers the land, words hand over their meanings and get sentenced to periods where they’re locked up in capitols—no rights are stated. Laughter dwindles into nothingness. Nothing always conceives water that forms its own music, breaking down silences.
Even the leaves and the dirt they become have voices. The voices echo throughout the labyrinth under the landscape where I found my string and wound my way to where I could skip like shale, though fragile, to the water’s surface. Somewhere under the water, there is the original source I would like to touch.
Whatever home I once shared, no one treads water like I do. I am your wanderer, that is clear; I have built myself from the cores of trees and the hold-fasts of the ocean floor. I have made myself walk through narrows, because I can find footing best. I can climb and crawl anywhere, I can get lost in a free world. I wove a rope from the string and tensioned my way all the way up the mountain to look down. There is only one mountain here and it lessens every time I climb it. Someday it will be a pebble glistening red on the sand.
I have been, in most conditions, a gray wolf, compact and wild, fiercely maintaining my territory. I defend my people, too. I am with people, but I have no people. For most of my life I have been left alone, making my way like a nomad across these fields.
Time feels as though it is being measured by the clock in someone else’s reference frame. Moments whiz by like lightning bugs; I cringe in a corner knowing I will be next. I am always last. I get dizzy waiting, standing still, so I go fast, dance until the wind carries me, and I catch light beams in my hands.
Why is it so hard to learn to trust again? I fought for my hand and my words and my steps, I fought for I have been trod down, I fought to move the figures in my head, I figured the objects would love me so much more that they’d give me a guide to worldmaking. I thought I could trace the contours of concavity, fill closed loops like smiles, use my hand to signal direction. I thought my hands became my eyes, that I would know even though this and that stand in the way.
I strain to hold my neglected child, I know I do not know, and I am lost, crying for you, flat on the floor with my hands stretched out flat against gravity, and fields and fields away from where I first met you. I must come to terms with my own darkness. How much have I given up to seek a definitive? Perhaps every object I ever loved will let me go. I am reaching for edges to grasp what it is to break out of a circle.
I am always looking for the center and never find it. I am the center. The words come to me. They wait in lines to begin their journey across steppes and cliffs and wetlands, many meters, and eventually home. When I reflect, I mirror the shadows. Darkness is just the absence of light.
To fill the silence that follows, I twine color through my songs, remember what I lost, and how to find it again. The truth is like a sphere, like parabolas and sine waves, like music and friendship—simple and everywhere. In wonder I reach out my hand, for myself, on my own. And light has been worth the destruction of every shadow; this is another way to find the center of it all.
I lift my song by hand and it shimmers through my hair like burgundy, comes out clean. I am usually alone, though you are welcome to find me here. You are welcome to experience everything, live with me in the peaks and troughs, mountains, and valleys of long incantations. In the place where answers are questioned, where silence speaks, where space is woven through our belonging and we have never left each other, you may fly between the chords. And home is what happens when you no longer throw yourself into living as if it’s a thing to chase after or prove you can hold, and just let go. I let go, I let go, I am found again.
Growing Up As a Blind Child
Through a one-way mirror, they eyed me,
Between us, their watchful eyes conceived the distance
And I began to lose definition.
I of the many translucent faces,
They sanded smooth my jagged edges
Painting them invisible with a missing shade of blue.
They glossed over my differences until I faded into the background
Molding my experiences so that they mapped onto their figures
Until I reflected their perspective thickly occluded.
They even tried to put an eraser
To that unusual glow that seemed to linger
Out of curiosity and the innocence of a child.
And my little ash child remembers their walls:
There were walls,
To keep her out, to contain her with,
But she saw through and far beyond them
How they were made for someone small, so she ignored and walked around them,
And the walls came tumbling down, and that is how they found them.
For a long time I searched for something to shelter me
Until with free hands I rebuilt my foundations,
And only then could I love what I made.
I’ve sought and found the knowledge
That they kept from me with stones.
I have survived their stares, I have stared back.
I have stood within the changing tides,
And learned the language of the wild song,
The one to which I’ve now come home, echoed in the blinking of an eye.
I rekindled trust as if I were tending the cauldron of Cerridwen
And in the river of memories I washed off the dust:
Why had I never seen myself before?
It was like repeating an unrecognizable name, until I realized it was mine.
It was like discovering I was a firefly,
When no one believed I could shine.
And now Across the bridge of overcoming,
I come bringing brokenness to light.
Bright beams alight along the road,
Pooling there like fallen stars, to guide my weary ash-child’s way.
Back through the darkness I reach out, the whole of her I carry in my arms,
And Whisper through her troubled dreams, I am here.
I who leapt among the flames, made it to the other side,
Tenderly I take hold of my ash child’s hand,
And into the blue, together we rise.
Voices From Cnoc Alúine
I will raise mountains to the sky
I will cover Islands with the sea
And I will gather broken things
And weave them quietly through dreams.
I will sing forgotten songs
And lift my voice, though none join in
And I will come by wind and rain
To see the lost live once again.
Who will count the landscape’s scars
The path is red, blood of old stones
Shards of time, earth mother’s bones:
Once more found, are we never alone.
I will journey on the seven tides
To find the reason for your cries,
And I will sit in surrender to
The sadness welling up in you.
For you who are so very dear,
I will hold the far more near
And shed a single, weary tear
For all the dreams that flew from here.
The great conversation is not halted
By the sun burnt desires of the taking
I am here in all that is,
What lies broken, all awaking
Do not cast a cry from the tallest trees
For what was never meant to last
Has not future met it’s origin
Has not the child come home again,
Striving for beyond,
To become the song of sunbeams whose streaming laughter lingers?
Patiently within you, for child, it is yours.
A time for growing and relearning.
Time to realize we’re all some mother’s child,
Time to honor and continue to rekindle
The wild look in your eyes,
And the color of belonging, green and blue and wise.
Did you really think there would be a single one
Who would not make it to the other side?
Change, the knot
That cannot be undone, it lies
Between our orchestra of longing,
And the whole with fractured facets rearranging.
And among chords played, between silences, we fly,
Letting go of all that’s left behind.
Life shimmers like a firefly’s light,
Transient and tenaciously, we dance what’s yours and mine.
Life leaps in joy and wonder into everything,
Glowing then for all it finds.
Life strikes out in frenzy through forever,
And for that, ever, ever shine.

Cathy McClelland: Truly Enchanting Acrylic Landscapes
Are you experiencing the world as the magical place it can be?
If not, take inspiration from Australian artist Cathy McClelland’s nature-filled acrylic paintings. Blazing with the glory of natural light in its finest hour and often featuring slender-framed songbirds, her landscapes bring anew the hopes and dreams we all collectively have for the world.
Singing the Blues, for example, is a trademark painting of Cathy’s, right down to the warbling bluebird, antique spigot and spray of wildflowers.
With its whispered textures and subtle tones, the painting is entirely soothing. It calls to mind those special times when you get up with the first light of morning and head outside with a fresh-brewed cup of coffee—for a moment, totally oblivious to the emails and chores you must tend to later as you take in the welcoming song of the bluebird.
Greenie Lorikeets on the other hand is a wild shift from Cathy’s typical use of soft colors and oftentimes relaxing settings. Bold in color and spirit, the painting rushes at you with energizing waves of neon yellow, blue and red.
So vibrant is this piece that the greenie lorikeets are adept at finding the perfect hiding spots amidst the painting, and it’s so much fun when your eyes pick up on one bird. . . and then another. . . and another!
I especially love the dappled texture around the edges that ebb and flow into the tropical rainforest, causing it to glimmer and sparkle with an air of exciting mystery.
Lastly, red and white wildflowers dot the forefront of Rainbow Valley Farm, like tiny spotlights guiding our way deeper into the painting where a glorious sunset awaits.
Clouds turn from a bright tangerine to a silky peach as the sun infuses them with light, and all that golden goodness spills down onto the meadow under the watchful eye of a sharp-looking little bird.
Snugly nestled into a garden of flowers is a quaint house whose cheerful white trim beckons family members home for a hot meal. As darkness falls, a tree-shrouded hill in the background succumbs to the shadows that a few green treetops manage to escape—at least for a few more moments.
From cows at pasture to cottages tucked between hills—and of course, from wren to bluebird—Cathy’s website is filled to the brim with absolutely outstanding paintings. You’re missing out if you don’t head over there now!

Well with Ober-Rae Starr Livingstone’s enchanting, acrylic cloudscapes you now have time to enjoy the perfect splendor of those moments again and. . . read more

Dear Abby: May I comment on your response to "Got Here First in Pennsylvania" (Jan. 7), who asked whether someone sitting at the end of a church pew should move if someone comes and says it's his or her "favorite seat"?
There are many reasons why people remain sitting at the end of a pew: an allergy to perfumes can be overwhelming if you're sitting in the middle of a row; claustrophobia; weak bladder; physical limitations; the need for more leg room; and the need to use the armrest to stand up and sit down.
The early bird does get the worm and shouldn't be expected to give it to latecomers. Likewise, possession is nine-tenths of the law.
If people have a favorite seat, they should arrive early to ensure they'll get it. That's what we do. And when someone wants to sit in the same pew, we smile, step aside and let the person in while retaining our end seats. — Overland park, Kan., Attendee
Dear Attendee: Thank you for making your strongly stated case. When I told "Got Here" to be an angel and shove over, readers were quick to offer me "chapter and verse":
Dear Abby: I'm 6 feet 2 inches, weigh 350 pounds and have size 15 feet. I am not the guy you would want to have to crawl over, or have crawl over you in church.
When sitting at the end of the pew, I can easily step into the aisle to let people in and out. I also take a medication that causes me to use the restroom often and on short notice. Again, I can easily move about without worrying about trampling some little old lady.
I arrive early and take my end seat not to be rude, but to make things as convenient as possible for others. — Doug B. In Milwaukee
Dear Abby: As a pastor, I believe good behavior should come first and foremost from church members who respect others and don't insist on their own way. Nobody "owns" a seat in the sanctuary. As creatures of habit, we tend to sit where we usually sit. If someone else happens to be there, we simply find somewhere else.
If "Got Here" was just starting to visit that church, I'd suggest he/she find a more charitable and hospitable congregation and leave those territorial folks behind. — Jeanne In Austin
Dear Abby: How can you say that one person, in the house of God, is more right than another in this situation? Is the shovee not committing the sin of coveting that seat? — Missoula, Mont., Reader
Dear Abby:If you are first to arrive at an empty pew, take a place in the middle. Thus later arrivals won't have to climb over you. It's common courtesy! — Pat In Bloomfield
Dear Abby: Having worked in a fire department for many years, I always sit at the end of the pew. That way I won't have to knock over any fellow parishioners when my pager goes off! — Louie In Somerset, Ohio

Tokyo: Capital of Asia
Click to follow
The Independent Travel
A tiny French bistro on a cobbled backstreet rings with the clinks of wine glasses . A nightclub heaves with caipirinha-fuelled Brazilian dance beats. A tearoom serves English scones and Earl Grey tea in bone china. Scratch the surface of Japan's capital and a world of international influences appear one reason why it is the undisputed capital of Asia.
Tokyo is prone to stereotyping. Its name conjures expectations of a sprawling Blade Runner-style landscape buzzing with neon lights, shiny skyscrapers and packed trains. Certainly, the city excels at showcasing culture that is unique to Japan, from the hi-tech haven of Akihabara to the lantern-lit streets of Asakusa.
But there is more to Tokyo than sushi, sake, sumo and skyscrapers. Only 1 per cent of the country's population is non-Japanese, but the citizens appear to embrace an interest in all things cosmopolitan. From Indian restaurants and American musicals to French art exhibitions and Italian design stores, the city is a den of global flavours. This internationalisation has been fuelled by Japan's economy, the world's second largest after the US, attracting foreign corporations and their employees.
But it is in terms of food that Tokyo's star shines brightest. From Gordon Ramsay to Alain Ducasse, a raft of international celebrity chefs have opened high-profile restaurants in Tokyo in recent years. The first Michelin guide to Tokyo, published last month, gave it more stars than London, Paris and New York.
Shopping is another area in which Tokyo excels. Visiting Japanophiles can spend all their time enjoying distinctly Japanese shopping experiences. But the city is also home to international high street stores, and has become a playground for the luxury fashion market. International designers are flocking in to open flagship stores built by top architects. A stroll down Omotesando, past the European and US fashion stores is like browsing around an open air architecture museum. There is Tod's store, a tree-motif inspired Toyo Ito creation, a Louis Vuitton building designed by Jun Aoki, and Tadao Ando's Omotesando Hills shopping centre. Up the road is the bubble glass Prada store designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the architects behind Tate Modern. The upmarket shopping district Ginza is home to flagship stores for Herms, Chanel, Versace and Gucci; last month, Giorgio Armani, surrounded by a celebrity coterie, opened the Armani/Ginza Tower.
In terms of entertainment, Tokyo is also far from mono-ethnic. Sumo matches and kabuki performances may be a highlight of any visit to Tokyo, but the city also has an appetite for international plays, musicals, films and art exhibitions. Yet the ultimate evidence of Tokyo's cosmopolitan status may lie in the long-running presence of the most un-Japanese of venues: Disney Resort, which in April kicks off a year of celebrations to mark its 25th birthday.
Tokyo has the world's biggest population, Asia's busiest airports and longest underground

Heat and Temperature:
Let's begin by considering the instance below:
If we have water of 100OC in an aluminium cup whose temperature is the same as that of its surrounding; let’s say 22OC; We will observe the followings:
1. The temperature of water inside the aluminum cup will begin to decrease from its initial 100OC.
2. The temperature of the aluminium cup will increase from its previous 22OC.
3. After some period of time, the temperature of water, aluminium cup and the surrounding will become the same.
Note: OC = degree centigrade; and it's a unit of temperature.
Please read on fundamental and derived units here.
For now, think of temperature as the degree of hotness or coldness of a substance or an object with reference to some standard value.
From the above instance, it can be deduced that the heat present in the water molecules are first transferred to the aluminium cup and subsequently to the surrounding.
Heat from water >>> Aluminium Cup >>> Surrounding
Meanwhile, understand that aluminium is a metal; and metals are good conductors of heat.
Please read on the physical properties of metals here.
Eventually, the system and the surroundings will reach the same temperature; and the heat transfer ceases. It is at this point, that the water, aluminium cup and the surrounding are said to have reached a thermal equilibrium. This concept of thermal equilibrium is a function of the zeroth law of thermodynamics.
Please read more on heat transfer by conduction here.
Please read on the zeroth law of thermodynamics here.
Although the surrounding receives heat from the water and aluminium cup, it is noteworthy to state that the surrounding's temperature will remain approximately unchanged for the following reasons:
1. The volume of air in the surrounding is so large.
You can read on the composition of the atmosphere (Air) here.
2. The water and aluminium will not continue to permanently give out heat energy to the surrounding.
3. Diffusion will continue to occur in the surrounding.
Please read on Graham's law of diffusion here.
Heat is never lost because it is a form of energy. Instead, it will be transferred according to the first law of Thermodynamics which states that:
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transferred from one form to another.
You can read on food chain here.
Note: From the above explanations, the transfer of energy (heat energy in this case) from the water to the aluminium cup and finally to the surrounding is referred to as heat.
Heat can simply be explained as an energy that results from the transfer of energy from an object or substance or system with a higher temperature to another with a lower temperature.
Please read on heat transfer by convection here.
Let consider a reverse instance with regards to heat:
Now, imagine that a cold bottle of water is brought out of the fridge into the kitchen. Assuming the temperature of water is 3OC while that of the kitchen environment is 22OC; the followings will occur:
1. The temperature of the cold bottle of water will start to increase from its initial 3OC.
2. The temperature of the bottle will begin to increase from its initial 3OC.
3. After some period of time, the temperature of the bottle, water and the kitchen surrounding will become the same.
Note: At no point did the coldness of the bottle or water escaped into the surrounding. Instead it is the temperature of the room that actually caused an increased temperature of the bottle and water (inside the bottle).
In fact, if the temperature of the room was higher 22OC, heat transfer will be achieved at a much rapid rate. (That is; the rate at which the temperature of the water and bottle increases will be faster).
Since heat energy is being transferred from the kitchen surroundings to the bottle and then into the water; We can therefore conclude that heat will always be transferred from a higher region to a lower region until equilibrium is attained.
Heat is never static. It is always transferred and thus; an object will increase its temperature by gaining heat energy from its surroundings while another object simultaneously (at the same time) decreases its temperature by losing its heat energy to the surroundings. For this reason, we may also define temperature as:
The higher the temperature, the greater the ability of an object or substance to transfer heat. Conversely, the lower the temperature, the greater the tendency of an object to receive the transferred heat.
The point is: 'for heat to be transferred, we must have systems or objects or substances with varying temperatures.

Tort Liability of Dealers Selling 1973-1987 GM Pickups
Washington DC
October 18, 1993
Dear General Motors Truck Dealer:
We are writing to notify you, that in our view, you face enormous potential liability losses should you sell a used General Motors pickup with side saddle gas tanks without remedying the hazard. The clear basis for your liability is explained in the attached legal memorandum from the Center for Auto Safety. General Motors itself lost a $105 million verdict in one lawsuit on these pickups. It has settled or lost over 125 other pickup gas tank cases at a reported cost of over $100 million more.
GM side saddle pickups represent the worst vehicle fire hazard in history, with more than 400 people killed due to burns in fire crashes and over 2,000 injured. When the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recalled the Ford Pinto, only 27 fire deaths were reported. NHTSA's Fatal Accident Reporting System shows these GM pickups are 3.5 times as likely as comparable Ford pickups to be involved in fatal side impact crashes where fire is the cause of the fatality and 4.7 times as likely as Dodge pickups. Since September 1992, at least 29 people have been killed and 24 injured in fire crashes in 1973-87 GM C/K pickups. The Center for Auto Safety projects another 200 people will be burned to death and 1,000 more injured during the remaining useful life of the 6 million GM pickups on the road if they are not remedied.
The dangerous defect in these pickups is the location of the fuel tanks outside the frame where they are vulnerable to rupture in side impacts at speeds as low as 20 MPH. GM's original Design Directive for the 1973 pickups said, "The fuel tank must be mounted as near to the center of the vehicle (truck) as practical." Chrysler engineers concluded in designing their 1973 pickups: "A frame mounted fuel tank mounted on the outside of the frame rail is not acceptable. Any side impact would automatically encroach on this area and the probability of tank leakage would be extremely high."
On April 9, 1993, NHTSA asked GM to voluntarily recall these pickups based on "an increased risk of fire to occupants of the [pickups] and to occupants of the vehicles that strike the [pickups] in side impact crashes that is associated with the GM design in which the fuel tanks are mounted outside of the frame rails. . . . this design is likely to lead to 5-6 additional fatalities per year in severe, but otherwise survivable, side impact crashes compared to Ford full-size pickups." (Copies of NHTSA's recall request and supporting documentation can be obtained from the agency's Technical Reference Division, Room 5118, 400 Seventh Street SW, Washington DC 20590.)
Under the terms of the proposed settlement of the private class action against GM, your liability exposure may increase dramatically in the future since GM plans to distribute $1,000 coupons to 6 million owners of 1973-87 GM pickups to induce them to buy new trucks. Should you accept a 1973-87 pickup in trade with one of the $1,000 coupons, you face potential liability for reselling that pickup if it is subsequently involved in a fire crash.
We believe it is in the public interest and your best interest to urge General Motors to modify the proposed class action settlement to provide for a repair option with any of the several known methods of remedying their fuel system safety hazards.
John Richard
Executive Director
Tort Liability of Dealers Selling 1973-1987 GM Pickups
Dealers may be held liable for reselling General Motors 1973-87 Pickup Trucks with side-saddle gas tanks under negligence and strict liability theories. Liability is most likely to be assessed where the dealer has knowledge that the Trucks are defective or dangerous and does nothing to avoid preventing injury to purchasing consumers. After the federal government's April 1993 request that GM recall the Trucks with detailed supporting information on their gas tank hazards, dealer knowledge of the Trucks' dangers increased significantly.
It is "black letter law" that a seller of a product manufactured by a third party is liable for negligence where the seller has knowledge that the product is dangerous or is likely to cause harm. The Restatement (Second) of Torts Section 399 (1965) states:
A seller of a chattel, manufactured by a third person who sells it knowing that it is, or likely to be, dangerous is subject to liability [for physical harm caused by its use].
Section 401 states:
A seller of a chattel manufactured by a third person who knows or has reason to know that the chattel is, or is likely to be, dangerous when used by a person to whom it is delivered or for whose use it is supplied, or to others whom the seller should expect to share in or be endangered by its use, is subject to liability for bodily harm caused thereby to them if he fails to exercise reasonable care to inform them of the danger or otherwise to protect them against it.
Courts have consistently applied these principles in holding that a seller or other non-manufacturing supplier of a dangerous or defective product liable in negligence if the seller knew or had reason to know of the danger of the product. Eagle Picher Industries, Inc. v. Paul Balbos, 326 Md. 179, 604 A.2d 445 (1991); Fernandes v. Union Bookbinding Co. Inc., 400 Mass. 27, 507 N.E.2d 728,732 (S.Ct. Mass. 1987); Bailey v. Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc. 635 P.2d 899 (1981); Olivarez v. Broadway Hardware, Inc., 564 S.W. 2d 195 (Tex. Civ. App. 1978); Cadillac Corporation. v. Moore, 320 So. 2d 361 (1975).
For example, the court in Eagle Picher Industries, supra, held that the defendant, who was a supplier and installer of asbestos products, should have known of the dangerous effects of asbestos. The court in Cadillac Corp. v. Moore, supra, found that the defendant, who was a seller of mobile homes, knew or should have known that the heater in the mobile home at issue was constructed to burn liquid petroleum or natural gas and was unsafe for its intended purpose.
Applying this reasoning to the defective General Motors Pickup Trucks, dealers may be held liable for injuries resulting from the resale of the Trucks where the dealer knew of the danger caused by the location of the gas tank on the outside of the frame rails in a side impact collision and yet continued to sell the Trucks. Liability under negligence doctrine would lie where the dealer could have protected the consumer from danger by repairing the Truck or warning consumers of the dangers prior to sale.
In addition to negligence, dealers may also be liable under the doctrine of Strict Liability. Section 402A of the Restatement (Second), Torts, specifically applies to "any person engaged in the business of selling products for use or consumption." The section permits a person injured by an allegedly defective product to sue any seller of that product, if that seller is engaged in the business of selling such a product. Some courts have applied the Restatement Section 402A to sellers of used goods including any manufacturer of such a product, to any wholesale or retail dealer or distributor. In Childers v. Joseph, 842 F2d. 689, 696 (3rd Cir. 1988) the court applied Section 402A of the Restatement in refusing to dismiss a claim against a General Motors Dealer who sold the allegedly defective truck cab and chassis. The court held that both manufacturer and dealer were properly named as defendants.
Additionally, some state courts have held that dealers may be liable in strict product liability if plaintiffs show that the dealer had actual knowledge of the defect in the product. See Fillippini v. Ford Motor Co., 110 F.R.D. 131, 135 (N.D. Ill. 1986); see also Dehmlow v. Austin Fireworks, Inc. 1993 U.S. Dist. Lexis 8339 (N.D. Ill. 1993).
Under general principles of tort law, if the dealers resell the Pickups Trucks knowing that the side-saddle gas tanks create a dangerous condition, they could be held liable for personal injury. Given the clear and convincing evidence on the dangers of side-saddle gas tanks in 1973-87 GM Pickups that have resulted in punitive damage awards, Moseley v. GM, Civ. File No. 90V6276, (Ga. State Ct., Fulton County, Feb. 4, 1993) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's request to GM to recall all Pickups with side-saddle gas tanks, liability could result where dealers are shown to have learned of the Pickups' hazards.

Undifferentiated connective tissue diseases (UCTDs) are clinical entities characterised by signs and symptoms suggestive of a systemic autoimmune disease, which do not fulfil the diagnostic criteria for a defined connective tissue disease. Lung involvement can complicate the course and management of the disease, often determining a worse outcome. Respiratory dysfunction as the first clinical manifestation has seldom been reported.
We describe a case of a female patient who developed significant respiratory dysfunction as the principal clinical sign. Video-assisted thoracoscopy was performed and a histological pattern of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was found. A pathological diagnosis suggested careful follow-up with extensive immunological screening which then detected Raynaud's phenomenon and positivity of antinuclear antibodies. After a multidisciplinary discussion (pneumologist, radiologist, pathologist and rheumatologist) a final diagnosis of NSIP associated with UCTD was made. The diagnosis of UCTD should be considered when NSIP is diagnosed even in cases with evident first clinical manifestations of severe respiratory dysfunction. A multidisciplinary approach in the field of interstitial lung disease with NSIP, also including rheumatologic expertise, is fundamental to achieve a prompt and correct diagnosis.
The term undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) is used to define clinical entities characterised by features suggestive of CTD which do not meet the classification criteria of the American College of Rheumatology for a specific single disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, and Sjögren's syndrome [19]. UCTD can evolve in these patients over time.
As only a few reports have described lung involvement during UCTD the natural history still remains unknown and unpredictable. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) with a histological pattern of non specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) has recently been reported to be the most frequent lung manifestation [1013], usually responsible for progression and adverse outcome of the disease. Lung involvement as the first clinical manifestation of UCTD is rarely reported. We discuss the case and review the associated literature of UCTD.

A 50-year-old non-smoking female textile worker after a flu-like episode started to suffer from dry cough and progressive dyspnoea. Chest radiography showed parenchymal pulmonary opacity in the lower posterior segment of the right haemithorax and bilateral interstitial thickening of the lower pulmonary segment. The patient was therefore treated with antibiotics and steroids but the clinical and radiological manifestations did not improve.
Computed tomography (CT) scan of the lungs three months later revealed a ground glass pattern in the apical segment of the upper and lower lobes. Lymphadenopathy in the paratracheal space was also observed (Figure 1). The laboratory results showed an increased level of inflammatory parameters (erythrocyte sedimentation rate: 78 mm; C-reactive protein: 5.7 mg/dl; Fibrinogen: 492 mg/dl), without any other positive tests (e.g. rheumatoid factor). The pulmonary function test showed a restrictive pattern (vital capacity: 1.59 L, 50% predicted; total lung capacity: 3.94 L, 75% predicted) with a reduction in the single breath diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (TLCO/VA 0.84 mmol/min/kPa/l, 52% predicted). Arterial oxygen tension at rest was normal (pH: 7.44; pO2: 92.4 mmHg; pCO2: 38.8 mmHg). A six-minute walking test revealed oxygen desaturation (87%) with severe dyspnoea (BORG scale 5/10). Bronchoscopy with combined bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsies were performed, but they provided no significant additional information.

Open lung biopsy was performed and based on a histological diagnosis of non specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) an accurate immunological follow-up was required.
The assay of a larger panel of autoantibodies showed only positivity of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), at titer 1/160. The other investigated antibodies (such as anti-ENA, anti-DNAds, anti-centromere, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide and anti-tRNA synthetases) were all negative. Finally, a nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) was recommended and showed the presence of minor capillary changes characteristic of a nonspecific pattern (Figure 2). Clear-cut signs of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) were then reported during rheumatologic follow-up. After a multidisciplinary discussion (pneumologist, radiologist, pathologist and rheumatologist) a final diagnosis of NSIP associated with UCTD was made.

Therefore, the patient was discharged and started a treatment regimen of oral cyclophosphamide (100 mg/die) and prednisone (25 mg/die) for 12 months. The combination was then stopped and the patient was followed only with low dose of corticosteroids.
Up to now, over a follow-up period of three years, the clinical picture and the pulmonary function test remain stable and no definitive CTD has developed.
Pathological findings
Low-magnification microscopy showed an uniform alveolar septa thickening by cellular infiltrate and fibrosis. At higher magnification, the alveolar septal interstitium was expanded by mild inflammation and collagen deposition with minimal honeycomb changes. No fibroblastic foci and active fibrosis were seen and patchy lymphoid aggregates were occasionally visible. The interstitial chronic inflammation consisted of lymphocytes and some plasma cells. Increased macrophagic infiltration was seen in some alveolar spaces. The appearance was consistent with the fibrosing variant of NSIP (Figure 3). Organising pleuritis with mesothelial hyperplasia was present. Medial vessel thickening was particularly seen in remodelled lung areas.

Up to 25% of patients who show clinical and laboratory features of systemic autoimmune diseases do not fulfil the classification criteria of ACR for a specific CTD and they are considered to have a distinct clinical entity, called UCTD [1, 4, 7, 8]. The definition is still under debate, although it is becoming more definite. In 1999 and 2006 Mosca et al. reviewed the literature and proposed that preliminary classification criteria for UCTD include the following: at least one clinical manifestation of CTD, positive ANA results, and a disease duration of at least three years [4, 8].
It may be difficult to distinguish these conditions from early phases of defined diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis and others. The natural history of these rare entities is variable: a high percentage of patients with UCTD maintain an undifferentiated clinical course and do not evolve to a distinct CTD, whereas some patients can evolve over time [4, 7, 8, 11].
Laboratory test screening is essential to identify markers that may suggest a systemic, autoimmune disease, or specific organ involvement. In fact, about 90% of the patients with UCTD show positive ANA [1, 5]. Capillaroscopy is useful to detect abnormalities in capillary shape and blood flow, which suggest features of Raynaud's phenomenon.
The onset of UCTD is similar to most CTDs, peaking in the middle years of life. There are no specific signs or symptoms of UCTDs because these entities present manifestations common to other CTDs. The main clinical features at onset of UCTD are arthritis and arthralgia, Raynaud's phenomenon, pleuritis and pericarditis, xerostomia and xerophtalmia, leukopenia, esophageal involvement, fever and myositis [1, 9, 14]. Major organ involvement is unusual and the lung has been reported as a late complication, often determining a worse outcome [15].
Recently an ATS working group described idiopathic NSIP as a distinct entity that occurs mostly in middle-aged women who never smoked and who often have positive serologic tests (antinuclear antibodies or rheumatoid factor) [16].
The typical histological findings of NSIP detected in our patient who also presented the clinical phenotype (middle-aged, non-smoking woman) suggested an additional careful investigation for an accurate rheumatologic evaluation and follow-up.
Kinder et al. recently showed that the majority of patients (88%) who met the UCTD criteria had distinct radiological and pathological features of NSIP, thus emphasizing that this pattern is peculiar of the disease [10]. The same group more recently highlighted the concept that patients with UCTD and lung involvement have improved pulmonary function during the follow-up, as in our case [11] compared to other unfavourable interstitial diseases as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Lung involvement usually appears as a complication in established UCTD. There is only a recent study which has demonstrated that NSIP may be the first clinical manifestation of the disease [13], as in our case. The prospective study by Romagnoli et al. demonstrated that more than 50% of patients diagnosed with NSIP showed an autoimmune disease, as UCTD, in their follow-up. In particular, UCTD was detected in 22% of NSIP patients [13].
In conclusion, we have described a case of a patient with UCTD whose first clinical manifestation was lung involvement. UCTD should be considered when NSIP is diagnosed even in cases with evident first clinical manifestations of severe respiratory dysfunction.
A multidisciplinary approach with the intervention of pneumologists, radiologists, pathologists and rheumatologists is recommended to achieve a correct diagnosis.

"It's what?" I asked, standing in the doorway to the laundry room, my arms folded across my chest.
"It's broken." He said again from behind the washing machine.
"Please tell me your joking."
There was no answer. He uprighted himself, kicking the side of the machine.
"Well what now?" I asked, staring at the large pile of laundry waiting to be cleaned.
"We can't go to Carlisle and Esme's house, not after we told them we wanted to do things alone." He answered, making his way across the room to me. "I guess we can take it to the laundromat..."
We had only been in this small town, north of Forks for a couple months. Both of us keeping mostly to ourselves. We didn't want to draw attention to ourselves and that means we hadn't made any friends yet, just a couple of weird looks here and there.
"Great" I said, sounding unenthusiastic as I started shoving dirty clothes into laundry bags.
After about 5 trips back and forth from the house to the car we finally loaded the dirty clothes.
"Hold on, we need soap" I said as I ran back into the house, grabbing the giant box of powered soap, and then we were off.
"Can I get.." I mumbled, going through my wallet. "50 dollars in quarters?" I asked, smiling at the attendant, watching his eyes squint with confusion and then he looked behind me, watching Edward load all our bags into about 8 carts. "Here you go ma'am" He said, handing me 5 rolls of quarters. "Thanks." I said, turning my back to help Edward push the carts over to an empty row of washing machines.
I had never been in a laundromat before, but it was exactly how I pictured it. The television was up in the corner, volume turned way down. I glanced down to the next row, watching a boy no older than 25 emptying his duffel bag of clothes into the washing machine. He obviously didn't know how to do laundry. He didn't even bother to separate them. He opened his bottle of soap, measuring by eye as he dumped way more than needed into the machine. There was a common seating area in the far corner. Brown couches with worn in seats and a couple of vending machines next to them. There were stacks of magazines everywhere. I grabbed the one closest to me, noticing the date on it was over 8 years ago.
I glanced back to Edward watching as he opened each bag, glancing back and forth at the clothes and the machines. If I let him do this himself I knew it wouldn't turn out well. Our white shirts were going to come out pink. I opened the lid of the 5 washers on my side, and 5 on the other side.
"We'll do whites on this side, and colors on this side." I explained, pushing each cart to the appropriate side. I had previously separated our whites from our darks so it would be easier. I knew Edward was clueless when it came to doing laundry but ever since we decided to do this on our own, without the help of an endless supply of money we figured buying new clothes every time we get something dirty wouldn't fit in our budget.
I grabbed the box of soap and measured the correct amount into each machine. I reached into my pocket, and handed Edward a roll of quarters. I started the five machines on my side and grabbed the first bag of darks. I was turning a pair of jeans inside out when I heard the murmuring. I turned around to find people whispering, watching Edward with wide eyes. I quickly shoved the pair of jeans into the washing machine and glanced back to Edward. He was holding a white button up teeshirt, that was absolutely covered with dried blood. I realized that this may not look like a problem to him and he seemed oblivious to the reactions around him. His head shot up quickly, as he finally clued in that everyones thoughts were on him, and not on the t.v.
I rushed to his side, pulling the shirt out of his hand with a nervous chuckle. This bag of clothes was actually going to be thrown out. We may have mastered grass stains, but blood was not really something we had accomplished yet. My eyes flickering back to the audience around us. I watched as a couple people quickly gathered their clothes, which were still wet, shoved them in their basket and walked out. It didn't help that we were still relatively new in town, but we also never interacted with the townspeople. It had been somewhat 'good' weather since we moved here, with only 3 days of overcast and rain, which meant that neither me or Edward had left the house during the day. I realized how this made us look, sneaking out at night, staying away from people.
"haha..darling" I laughed nervously, shoving the shirt back into the bag. "You need to be more careful at the butcher shop..." I added, quickly glancing around at the staring crowd. I leaned closer, pretending to grab the soap next to him. "Take this back out to the car." I whispered, knowing only he would hear. I let out a couple more nervous chuckles as I finished loading his bag of whites into the machine.
I turned to watch him grab the bag of clothes and head for the car. The bag caught on the door of a dryer that was left open. My eyes grew wide as the bag ripped open. It was as if everything was in slow motion. First the rip, and the shirt was the first piece, falling to the floor. The rest of the blood covered clothing tumbled to the floor. And then the gasping started.
"Murderer!" I heard one lady scream.

We start off with Hef's 80th birthday, which is this huge bash, and we end with Kendra's 21st birthday in Vegas!Linda was sorting out the closet and accidentally broke a cup.She tried to clean out the pieces before the landlord could see it, but he heard the clattering and went to see what she had done this time.I just got really emotional over [posing with the others for a November '05 pictorial], and I'm embarrassed about it now. Holly: We also did a personality test that the producer said would never be seen in public! I share a room with Hef, where I'm, like, stuck in a corner. How much room could Hef's robes take up? Holly: I'm inspired because Hef has hinted that I might be able to remodel the gym. Bridget, how goes it with the second masters degree? Holly: What's crazy is the fakers do their research and can be pretty convincing. Kendra, true or false Internet rumor: You are the secret sister of adult film star Jenna Jameson?

Kurt Warner Shouldn't Apologize for Being Honest About Fear of Concussions
Zach Kruse@@zachkruse2Senior Analyst IMay 7, 2012
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - FEBRUARY 02: Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner speaks during the got milk? press conference at the Super Bowl XLVI Media Center in the J.W. Marriott Indianapolis on February 2, 2012 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
Win McNamee/Getty Images
Think what you want about the vitriol that came the way of former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner last week, but the current NFL Network analyst shouldn't have to apologize for being completely honest—and echoing the concerns of most others in the game—about the long-term fear surrounding the concussion issue in the NFL.
Regardless, Warner issued a long statement on his website Monday to answer the criticisms of ESPN's Merrill Hoge and former teammate Amani Toomer after Warner expressed his concerns about his sons playing football last week.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution gives every person in this country the freedom of speech, which includes both Warner's concerns and Toomer's and Hoge's attacks afterwards.
But what Warner said last week–outlining his own personal fears about his own children playing a game that involves the kind of long-term consequences that the medical world is only beginning to scratch the surface of—shouldn't be subject to the kind of attack both mounted.
Any parent, regardless of whether or not they made their living in football, should have concerns about their child playing the game. It's a ruthless sport. Apologizing for making that opinion known is not needed from Warner or any other former player.
Warner made it clear that his comments stemmed only from the violence in the game.
Video Play Button
Videos you might like
Football is a game predicated on legal violence, the kind that would likely land you in prison if performed outside the white lines of a field.
260-pound linebackers now run 40-yard dashes at cornerback speed. Defensive ends weighing 300 pounds collide heads with 330-pound offensive linemen on every single play. Running backs daringly run right into the middle of that chaos, while receivers are routinely hit in the head while trying to make a catch across the middle or near the sidelines. Quarterbacks are the targets of defensive players on every play, regardless of whether or not a $10,000 bounty is on their head.
There is danger on every snap. And the toll adds up, in a hurry.
The long-term effects are no longer a secret, either.
In the midst of a rash of deaths among former NFL players with multiple head injuries, the NFL is dealing with a lawsuit from other former players that currently lists thousands of plaintiffs. It's quite possibly the biggest threat to the game we've seen in years.
So Warner getting singled out and attacked by former players, especially when talking about the concerns of his own children playing the game, is completely ludicrous. Warner said as much in his statement.
The NFL has made Kurt Warner more rich and famous then he ever could have imagined. Keep in mind that this was a guy who was playing in the Arena Football League and stocking grocery store shelves before he made his NFL mark.
But that doesn't rob him of his own concerns for the game moving forward. It's a violent venture, even if that's the risk you sign up for when playing the sport.
Warner knows all of that. And as a parent, he should have a say in whether or not his kids take that risk. His family knows all about head injury, too, as his 22-year-old step son has dealt with a brain trauma his entire life. If anyone has a unique perspective on football and dealing with head injuries, it's Warner.
In the end, Warner didn't need to write his long answer to the critics. He was always right in what he said last week.
But he answered every criticism that appeared over the last couple of days, including that of Hoge and Toomer. If anyone deserves an apology in the whole matter, it's Warner from those two knuckleheads.

Eco-Justice Notes
The E-mail Commentary from Eco-Justice Ministries
The Last Straw
distributed 6/1/18 - ©2018
This week's issue of Eco-Justice Notes is underwritten by Jerry Rees and Sallie Veenstra of Leawood, Kansas. Their generous support helps make this publication possible.
Some official occasions are more important than others.
Today is National Doughnut Day. It began during World War I as a way to celebrate the female volunteers for the Salvation Army who were serving doughnuts to soldiers. Now it is a marketing occasion using sweets to lure customers into stores.
Next Tuesday, June 5, is World Environment Day. Celebrated in more than 100 countries, it is the UN's most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment. The theme for 2018 is "beating plastic pollution."
It is a tough call, but I vote for World Environment Day as the event of greater significance.
Plastic pollution is a huge, global problem. As I've looked into some of the current initiatives for beating -- or at least reducing -- that pollution, I've noticed an important strategic approach that should be considered for most forms of eco-justice activism.
+ + + + +
I could give you all sorts of frightening statistics about plastic. But instead, I'll just refer you back to some previous Notes: "The Island of Plastic Junk" (May, 2017), and "More Plastic Than Fish" (February, 2016). You might notice that plastic in the ocean is a compelling way to raise awareness of the problem. I've seen that emphasis continuing in many articles and action alerts this year.
There are all kinds of plastic junk, but by web searches this spring show a growing push to address single-use plastic stuff as a particularly onerous kind of waste and pollution. We're being encouraged to look at the stupidity of products that are designed to be discarded after just a few minutes of use -- flimsy shopping bags, disposable plates and cups and spoons, and plastic straws. Many of these materials can't be recycled, and a huge percentage of them never make it into the trash. It becomes litter, and a lot of that makes its way into the ocean. It is used for a few seconds, but lasts for many years as an ecological hazard.
The European Commission is proposing a ban on 10 single-use items that make up 70% of all litter in EU waters and on beaches. The list includes plastic plates and drink stirrers. Some countries in the EU are moving even more quickly to reduce this waste.
The category of single-use plastic still may be too big and complex to really stimulate concern. So there is a rising call to zero in on one particular kind of plastic waste -- the drinking straw.
As the Plastic Pollution Coalitionnotes, in pointing toward their project "The Last Plastic Straw:"
A few of the other initiatives addressing straws are the social media campaign, "#StopSucking For A Strawless Ocean", the 5 Gyres effort on straws, and the "Give A Sip" campaign in New York City.
What is it about plastic straws that stirs up this interest? A New York City Councilman interviewed on NPR this week said, "Over the past few years, I started looking at single-use plastics that we can begin to eliminate without having severe impact on New Yorkers' daily lives. Plastic straws happen to be one of those [products]." In other words, straws may be low-hanging fruit where measurable change is relatively easy.
The Plastic Pollution Coalition sees straws as a starting point for a longer initiative. In the short term, they say,
we educate individuals to refuse plastic straws and spread the 'straw free' message; and we work to change local regulation to stop this unnecessary plastic pollution. In the long run, this collective engagement around the gateway issue of plastic straws will meaningfully shift the way individuals and businesses think about plastic pollution -- and about our society's disposable culture on a larger scale.
The plastic straws that most people encounter multiple times a day are a gateway issue when they start people on some form of action, and increase awareness of a much larger issue. The straw served in a glass of water -- and you know that you don't need it to take a drink -- provides an up-close and personal experience of waste and pollution. There's an emotional impact and opportunities for action that don't come with photos of piles of plastic on the beach of a South Pacific island, and talk of international treaties.
Straws are not the biggest form of plastic pollution, but they are an effective way to get people involved.
Looking at the narrowing of the issue -- from plastic pollution in general, to single-use plastic, to drinking straws -- make me think of a short resource from Network for Good to help non-profits with fundraising. Their fourth principle is "Small, not big." Current research finds that "humans simply can't act in the face of massive numbers -- a phenomenon called psychic numbing. But the issue isn't just an inability to handle a large scale. Once you get past one person -- or animal, for that matter -- empathy declines."
Speaking about fundraising for disaster relief, researcher Paul Slovnic said: "The more who die, the less we care." The report clarifies:
The bigger the scale of what you're communicating, the smaller the impact on your audience. Do not overwhelm people with numbers and statistics. They shift people into an analytical frame of mind, which disconnects them from the emotion of an individual story.
Tons and tons of plastic in the ocean is more than we can handle, emotionally or cognitively. But that one straw handed to you along with your lunch beverage? That is something that you can see and act on.
+ + + + +
The United Nation's World Environment Day's theme for 2018 goes big, with "beating plastic pollution." Their tagline, "If you can't reuse it, refuse it," narrows that down for action by individuals on single-use products.
Getting rid of plastic straws and spoons won't end plastic pollution. But using those up-close-and-personal items as the starting point for education and action is a strategically wise choice.
The "small, not big" lesson is one that I struggle to remember and apply. Especially when we're dealing with climate change, those global statistics are easier to name than a touching story about a single individual.
As we strategize for change in our churches and communities, let's try to remember the need for small and emotionally engaging entry points. Starting with drinking straws can be the way to build action on all kinds of plastic pollution.

Norway Bans Fur Farming
Norway Bans Fur Farming
Multiple news reports are coming out of Norway as the country announced on Monday its plans to shut down all 200 of its fur farms by 2025. Norway, which was once the world’s leader in fox fur production, marks the 14th European country to put an end to its fur trade due to mounting pressure from groups such as the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and its worldwide counterpart, Humane Society International (HSI).
Outlets including Reuters and Newsweek say the move will cost Norwegian fur farmers, who currently produce one million fox and mink pelts annually, up to $63 million per year. Conservative Prime Minister Erna Solberg’s government agreed to shut down the farms “as part of a deal to broaden her two two-party minority government by adding the anti-fur Liberal Party.”
“We’re shocked, shaken to the core,” said Guri Wormdahl of the Norwegian Fur Breeders Association. Fellow fur breeder Bertran Trane Skardsem noted, “This is very serious. We are very disappointed to be sacrificed like that.”
In reality, the ban probably won’t save many animals as the demand for pelts will be met by other countries such as China, which now ranks No. 1 in fur production at 69 percent. And while Norway has strict animal welfare guidelines in place, some other nations may not.
For perspective, Norway had nearly 20,000 fur farms during its peak of production in 1939, but by 2013 it only accounted for 3 percent of fox furs and 1 percent of mink. Nevertheless, Norway’s ban is a landmark move and an example of how groups like the HSUS and HSI are wreaking havoc on peoples’ lives worldwide to push a radical agenda. For just one more example, last year the HSUS stepped up its campaign to shut down legal, regulated grizzly bear hunting in British Columbia. After months of propelling emotion over science-based wildlife management, the end result was B.C.’s grizzly bear hunting ban that went into effect on Nov. 30.
So while hunters who do not wear fur may not yet have considered how a fur farming ban ultimately could affect the collective hunting community, remember this one point. Extremist groups are working to tear down the wall holding up our hunting rights one block at a time because their end goal is to end hunting and create a meatless, petless society. They are in this fight for the long haul. Fortunately, so are we.

Rattling E string
Discussion in 'Strings [BG]' started by Spandrzyk, Nov 25, 2000.

I have a extremely rattling E string on my vintage bass, vintage being the make, and whatever i do i can't stop it. This stops me from playing quick notes on that string because they come out very badly. Has anyone got any suggestions????
I don't think its down to my technique because one of my friends, whose played for quite a while, tried it and said it rattled.

There are lots of possible reasons. Take the bass to a tech and have it checked out so you don't have to guess what's causing the problem.

Comment by Journey: What part of West Washington St?.
Categories: home, noises, civil_war, demons, hammer
We lived in a house that had an elderly lady pass away there. We would smell roses in the stairwell often. Also my son had occurrences of the hall light going on by itself. Once I awoke to all the hot water faucets on full blast in the middle of the night.
I've seen a shadow go down the steps and thought it was my sons friend but he was still upstairs. We never felt threatened by the ghost but merely that they were there going about their routine.

'' so I go ask my mom where the princable was and she's like ''what are you talking about? Why would she be here? '' I've heard a ton of voices that sound like people I know but I'm used to it by now but just last night something quite odd happened that I never experienced before I was balling my eyes out I was scarred.
Okay so my friend Emily is over and it was around 1:00 in the morning and we heard a loud bang normally it would be my brother sleep walking but it wasn't so my mom called the next morning and I asked her if she heard that and she's like ''no..

How the Press Association is using AI to revive local news
Speaking at the Professional Publishers Association (PPA) Festival in May, Pete Clifton, editor-in-chief at the Press Association (PA), explained how the news agency is using artificial intelligence (AI) to support local reporting.
robot writing ()
In the UK and Ireland, the Press Association delivers a continuous feed of content via a national newswire including text, images, video and data. The 151 year old news agency is privately owned by a collection of 26 shareholders, most of whom are national and regional newspaper publishers such as the Daily Mail and News UK.
In 2017, the company received funding from Google’s Digital News Initiative (DNI) Innovation Fund to launch RADAR, a joint venture with Urbs Media designed to leverage artificial intelligence to improve local news reporting. Recently, the initiative welcomed its first paid subscribers, which include regional newspaper publishers Archant, Baylis Media, JPI Media, Iliffe Media and MNA Media. So with so many news outlets signing up to the automated reporting service, are robots now writing the news in the UK?
“The first thing to say is that there’s no scare story here,” Pete Clifton reassured a worried-looking room at the PPA Festival. “Robots can’t write the news. You can’t send them to a housefire, or to wait for politicians at Number 10. What we’re trying to do here is create more localised content than we could ever possibly do using people on the ground, bringing good human reporting together with clever automation.”
It is fair to say that local news reporting in the UK has suffered a decline in recent years. In February 2019, Press Gazette research showed that a total 245 local titles had been closed down since 2005. In the same month, the results of the Cairncross review were published, highlighting the importance of local news reporting to functioning democracy and calling upon public funds to be made available to rescue local journalism.
Many here will see the irony in the idea that AI – one of the very things it was feared would threaten traditional journalism over the coming years – may end up being the saviour of local news. [Insert mental image of Arnold Schwarzenegger returning from the future to save John Connor from the T-1000 here.]
“There are mounds and mounds of available datasets out there that actually tell the people who pay their taxes what’s going on,” says Clifton. “Everything from health stats, to crime figures, transport, etc. and the question becomes well how do we unlock the value of these open data sources for every local market? If we can answer that we can give people more visibility on the stories around the data corresponding to their area.”
“Once we’ve got the data, our team of six data journalists will examine the datasets, organise what comes out of it, and then look for interesting stories within it. The journalists are involved in identifying the stories, the angles, and the specific words that we’ll use to describe those stories. Open data tends to yield stories covering classic local news pillars across any given month.”
“We start with a template showing the overall data. Then the AI draws in that data to produce the words to fill in different parts of the story, so e.g. does this mean things in this area are good, bad, above average, below, average, etc. So efficient has this process become that a huge amount of these stories are already being published directly to local news websites. Although in certain instances a newspaper picking up the story may still commission some graphics, put calls in for accompanying comment, or whatever it may be.”
It appears to be a symbiotic relationship between author and operating system that is producing effective results. And as Clifton points out, these are the types of stories that may never have even been unearthed, let alone told, had the AI not been in play.
“A lot of our regional customers these days are saying that they want more regional content. Of course we can’t send people to every town and have reporters on the ground in every single place. So what RADAR has done is that it has allowed us guarantee stories every month that are specifically about the region. And these are stories that may not have been told had this process not been implemented. It’s also a simple financial model, publishers pay according to how many local authorities they’re interested in.”
Finally, the Press Association editor-in-chief talked about where this technology could take us in the future. As the spate of paid subscribers testifies, the project has clearly been a success, and the feeling is that the next wave of expansion could reach out in multiple all directions.
“In the future, we could see this approach developing even further. If there was decent data on non-league football for example, then we could get good, consistent stories from that. This again is reporting that would be almost impossible to implement if you were trying to do it with bodies on the ground. In fact, if you have data around your area of expertise then we can do things that way around: you can send us those datasets and we can turn it into articles.”
“We’ve also had a lot of interest in RADAR internationally, because the UK has got especially strong access to open data. So in that instance it becomes ok, do these countries have good open data sources that we can use to produce these kinds of articles for those territories? And if so, it’s a model that can really be applied anywhere.”
We talk a lot about AI in journalism. At FIPP, we strive to find tangible examples of where these ideas are becoming reality in the industry. Through the work of the Press Association, we are now seeing the practical implementation of artificial intelligence directly within the reporting process. Robots may not be writing the news, but at this point at least they seem to be helping.

I wash daily and still have a bad body odor please I need help this is really ruining my life
Body . Body odor is typically caused by the growth of bacteria on the skin made worse by perspiration or sweating. A few things you can try at home are: -bathe daily or twice a day -choose shoes, socks and clothing made of natural fibers which allow your skin to breathe -rotate shoes to allow them to dry in between wear and change sock often -use antiperspirants nightly -eliminate foods from your diet that may increase body odor such as garlic, onions, and heavily spiced food if over-the-counter antiperspirants or deodorants are not helping, talk to your doctor about prescription strength ones. Antiperspirants block the sweat pores and work best when applied at night to clean, dry skin in the areas most prone to sweating. Deodorants usually contain alcohol to keep bacteria from growing and perfumes to mask the smell. If you are suddenly sweating more than usual, having night sweats or if your body odor has changed, you should see your doctor as soon as possible since this could indicate a more serious medical problem.

Require More Information On Desktop Computers? Read This Article
At some point in your life, it’s likely you’ve had a desktop computer. However, you may not even know much about them. If you do not know much about them, you’d be shocked that research will really help you. The following information will help you out.
Look at all add-ons you are purchasing with the computer. These days, purchasing a computer opens up a slew of extra peripherals. Be sure that you only buy what you need. Also, be careful as many add-ons are cheaper on other websites. Add-ons from manufacturers are generally vastly overpriced.
Anti-virus software is essential for your computer. Without this software, you could be the victim of malicious software. This software can steal information and damage your computer. A lot of applications available will scan and repair your hard drive if you configure it.
When building your own desktop computer be careful which products you use. Some motherboards can only be used on certain processors. Some RAM components work only with particular motherboards. You must verify compatibility across all of the components you purchase. That is going to save you money and time when you are working on your own computer.
Is your computer slow? Here’s a quick fix! Open “MS Config” in the Start menu. Look at which programs automatically start with the machine. Do not start up programs that are unnecessary. Your system will run quicker once you make this change.
Measure the space where your desktop computer will likely go. Desktop computers come in all different sizes, depending on model and brand. Some will be small, others will require a lot of space. Figure out what sort of space you have first.
Measure the area in which you plan to place your computer. Various brands on models of desktop computers are sized differently. Some may be small, and others may take up more space. Find out what will fit correctly.
You should buy a desktop computer that has only the features you need. It is not necessary to buy a machine that delivers more than you need. Choose the components and features carefully as you shop for your desktop and save money.
Try to purchase an affordable desktop computer that has the minimum features you need. Some people purchase models with features they will never use at a price that is more than they can afford. Be picky when it comes to accessories and features so that you get the best price.
Check to see that the computers fan is legitimate. The case usually is easy to unscrew and pull off, then get a can of compressed air, and spray away the dust. This will prevent dust from entering the computer and will lower its temperature.
You need to be diligent when purchasing a new desktop, seeing as manufacturers have minimized paper documents that come with computers. Be certain that what you find online is sufficient and that you will never have a problem accessing driver and software downloads.
If you want to run PC programs on a Mac, buy the Parallels for Mac program. It lets you run Windows on a Mac. That way, you are able to run all your PC programs! You will also need the operating system of the PC, and you may have to buy that separately.
Whenever you are in the market for a desktop computer, be sure that the software that accompanies your choice is actually legal. There should be a CD and key that comes with every package.
If you enjoy gaming, keep several things in mind when buying a desktop computer, so that you have the best gaming experience possible. There ought to be a reliable video card, which means a minimum of 4gb. Also, high resolution display is necessary. Also, you can purchase special controllers and keyboards to boost your play.
Make sure you research memory capacity in any desktop computer you’re considering purchasing and determine whether you can easily add memory. Sufficient memory can make a big difference in your desktop. Do you plan on storing a lot of data on your computer? Are you a prolific photographer? These are important questions to consider when purchasing a PC.
Desktop computer manufacturers provide minimal paper documentation with your purchase since the documentation is available online, so be diligent. Be sure that you can find what you need online and that you have access to software and driver downloads.
For people who want to be green when buying a new computer, consider a mini PC. They have enough power to get through most tasks, but do not use much electricity. If you just check email, surf the Web, and use a word processor, this may be all you need.
Does the computer you are considering have sufficient memory for your needs? This is important when purchasing a PC. You will want to store as much data as possible on your computer. Do you take tons of photos? Take these questions into consideration when searching for the computer you need.
If you are thinking about getting a used computer, then don’t assume the original warranty will apply to this purchase. Not many modern manufacturers allow a warranty to transfer from one owner to another. If you want this computer, realize you will not be getting a warranty.
Mini PCs are a great green option. They operate with less electricity usage, and normally have enough power to get many tasks accomplished. This machine is great if you like to browse the web daily.
Be smart when comparison shopping. Computers can cost a lot of money. There are good deals to be had, but you have to decide what you are looking for in a computer. Be conscious of a computer’s hardware. It’s important to get both high performance and good value.
Avoid getting wrapped up in thinking that the price will go lower. Some people start monitoring sales and deals when they are in need of a new computer. But they wait and wait because they assume they can get a much better discount with time. Usually, the difference in price will be very small, so when you find the computer what you want, just buy it.
In the past it was common for people to buy their monitor, printer, and actual computer in a bundled deal. Avoid that. Computer monitors are becoming increasingly hard to find because a lot of flat-screen televisions can serve this purpose as well. In addition, remember the mouse and keyboard you already have will still work.
If you want to upgrade your desktop computer before you buy it, find out whether you are able to do that as you buy. Many times it will cost much less to have the seller upgrade the machine than it will to buy it and have another company do the enhancement.
Ergonomic keyboards are important accessories. Some keyboards work better with different types of usage you’ll be making of your desktop computer, and you’ll want to make sure you choose a keyboard that works best for the majority of your computer use. They are designed to reduce pain and strain to your hands.
For many years, it was traditional to buy a desktop bundle with monitor, computer and printer together. Avoid doing this. These days, your flat screen TV may do just as well as your monitor, and they may even be a better buy than a typical computer monitor. Also, remember that your current keyboard and mouse, if you have them, will work on a new computer.
There are two kinds of hard drives; your options will go from there. The HDD hard drive is the standard one that most people are familiar with, and the SSD is the newer version of a hard drive. The SSD operates using more revolutions a minute, but does not hold as much data and is more expensive.
Ergonomically correct keyboards are essential for desktops. If you’re on your computer quite a bit, this can be quite beneficial. The design of these keyboards can help your arms, wrists and hands.
If you are looking at a used desktop, make sure you understand that a lot of manufacturers refuse to transfer the warranty from one owner to another. That means that you’re going to have to pay to fix anything that goes wrong. You need to decide if this makes financial sense to you.
To be certain that you’re really saving money on any particular desktop computer, you need to take the time to check out reviews about it. You should never just blindly buy a desktop computer because you like the price on it. It really is true that you get what you pay for.
Although modern desktops have WiFi built in, make sure current standards are upheld. N level is one of the fastest Wi-Fi speeds, and you want to know your computer has that ability. If the computer gives access to only G and B, look for a different computer. When you see the faster speeds you get with up-to-date standards, you won’t regret it.
Do you know what operating system you want? If you are a fan of Windows 7, you might not be a fan of Windows 8, for instance. Make sure you purchase a computer that includes the operating system you want, with the version you are familiar with so you don’t have any problem using it.
Do you want a specific operating system? When you’re used to Windows 7, Windows 8 might throw you for a loop. Be sure to choose the computer that has the OS that you are comfortable with.
Many computers now come with SSD drives; these boot up much more quickly than others. Hard drives that are solid state have an operating system and programs already installed that produce a boot up in just seconds. You should also have a large traditional HDD, so that your files are backed up on a separate drive.
Ssd Drives
If speed is what you need in a computer, a desktop is most likely your best bet. Desktops offer more storage, quicker connections and programs than a laptop or tablet. They are usually less expensive than any high-end laptop as well. So, get a desktop rather than laptop when purchasing a new computer.
If the start-up time of a computer is a concern for you, look for those with SSD drives. SSD drives help that computer boot up much faster than a computer with an HDD drive. You will need a solid data drive though for backup purposes.
Some desktops come with two or more video cards. These cards comes in sets of two or more. People who do a lot of gaming find this to be a necessary part of playing games. But if you are not a gamer, more than one is probably not necessary.
Do some research into the durability of your desktop to resist scratching, denting and other cosmetic injuries to its surfaces. The case of the desktop can get hits, nicks and kicks over its lifetime, particularly if it is kept on the floor. You need to buy a computer that can handle it. If the case feels flimsy and cheap, think about buying better quality.
Learn about the software that comes with the computer. You shouldn’t assume your computer will come loaded with word processor or other standard programs. A lot of computers only offer free trials of different software. While computers that don’t have this software installed can be inexpensive, purchasing the software separately can be much more expensive.
Some really high end computers have more than one video card. These cards will run in pairs and work better. That is helpful for multiple monitors and high resolution gaming, but if that’s not something you’re into, one video card is enough.
What is the processing speed like on the computers you are considering? There are retailers that will try to overclock the processor in order to fool you. You should know the specifications of the computer when you buy it. Look at each processor, if you can.
Your computer should be able to get online in a few different ways. It is important to at least have a wifi card as well as an ethernet port. A Bluetooth connection would be even better since you would be able to connect more devices to it.
The hard drive is one of the very essential components of your computer. Keep your hard drive clean so that it will last a long time and function properly. When you have unorganized data and unnecessary file, you may reduce the entire system’s performance.
So, you’ve probably had at least one computer in your lifetime. Chances are good that you were in the dark before you found this article. Use these tips when buying your next computer.
While it’s safe to ignore brand names when you buy certain things, it’s a good idea to use brand name computers. Asus, Acer, HP, Dell and Sony are among the best in the market today. You can usually depend on these brands for dependable computers and great customer service.

You asked: Can you cook things dry in a slow cooker?
Can you cook things in a slow cooker without liquid?
So no, you need not add any water when cooking with a crockpot, at least when you’re cooking something with enough moisture of its own to cook in, which I suspect would be all meats and vegetables, as long as the lid works.
What Cannot be cooked in a slow cooker?
10 Foods You Should Never Make In A Slow Cooker
• Dairy. Adding milk, cream, cheese, sour cream, or yogurt to a slow cooker will curdle them. …
• Couscous. It’ll only get mushy and completely unappetizing. …
• Rice. …
• Pasta. …
• Boneless Chicken Breast. …
• Raw Meat. …
• Extra Fat. …
• Delicate Vegetables.
How do I reduce moisture in my slow cooker?
Set the lid ajar to let moisture escape entirely.
If you’re cooking for a very short period of time (like toasting granola or reducing liquid at the end of cooking), you can leave the lid ajar, or even off.
Do you have to put water in a slow cooker?
Every slow cooker needs some water to work properly. The reason is that ingredients are in direct contact with the pot which is heated up by the coils in the base. If you don’t put any water in the pot of the slow cooker the ingredients will at least end up chared, but most likely they will be burnt.
THIS IS FUNNING: What food to buy if you cant cook?
Can you overcook meat in a slow cooker?
Yes, you can overcook meat in a slow cooker – but you should not do it. Like cooking any other type of food, meat left in the slow cooker for too long will become tough and dry. … It is a heat-resistant way to make sure that your meat has the correct temperature inside.
Can you leave lid off slow cooker to thicken?
Leave the Lid Off, Letting Some of the Liquids Evaporate. An easy and effective way to thicken a sauce, soup, or stew in a slow cooker is to open the lid and let simmer gently until it reduces to the thickness that you want. Slow cookers work in a unique way. When you turn on the cooker, the electrical coils heat up.
Can you put raw potatoes in a slow cooker?
Can you put raw potatoes in the slow cooker? Potatoes cook well in the slow cooker. You can add them to soups and stews or cook them on their own for crockpot baked potatoes or these delicious garlic potatoes.
Can you put uncooked chicken in slow cooker?
Can you put raw chicken in a crockpot? Yes, that is exactly how you start. Cover the bottom of your slow cooker with raw chicken. I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they are easier to work with when the chicken is cooked, but you can use any raw chicken.
Can I leave my slow cooker on low overnight?
You can leave a crockpot on low or warm overnight, but not on high. Most slow cookers run on 50-300 watts. If you take the right precautions, then the risk of fire is minute. Most recipes would not call for a crockpot to be left on high for more than 4 to 6 hours because the food would overcook.
THIS IS FUNNING: Does cooking green potatoes make them safe?
Do things reduce in slow cooker?
Reduce liquid when using a slow cooker
Because your slow cooker will have a tightly sealed lid, the liquid won’t evaporate so if you’re adapting a standard recipe, it’s best to reduce the liquid by roughly a third. It should just cover the meat and vegetables.
Why does my slow cooker make everything watery?
For slow cookers, you need about half the amount of liquid that a traditional recipe (for the oven or stovetop) calls for. The lid will trap the moisture in and keep it from evaporating during the cooking time. This can make the final result too watery if the recipe is not adapted to a crock pot.

Must Be an Election Coming Up
Used to be the Cheney administration would just move the terrorist alert traffic signal up and down when they wanted to scare the public. Now we get the terrorist of the month.
Here's two snippets; you tell me which one will be all over the media and repeated by the Bushies:
Quote A: "In a recorded conversation one suspect predicted there would be few survivors and that the attacks would result in the destruction of 'the whole of Kennedy.' ...
In one recorded conversation, a suspect compared the plot to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, saying, 'Even the twin towers can't touch it.' He added, 'This can destroy the economy of America for some time.'"
'There's no oxygen in the pipeline. It's completely full of liquid and you need oxygen for ignition,' Haase said."
And here's a bonus quote that FauxNews won't lead with; it shouldn't matter, but RightWingNuttia pees in fear much more readily when Teh Qaeda is menioned:
Four charged in plot to blow up JFK airport - Yahoo! News:
1 comment:

Rats, I was hoping to have spawned "Teh Qaeda" first, but you have beaten me to the punch. Well played.

Howling Marsh is a small region between Ironspike Mountains and the source of the Serpentine River. It is also near the Institute of War.
It is known that it is a place filled with undead.
The vast quantities of physical magic that were consumed and destroyed during Valoran's numerous Rune Wars have scarred much of Valoran. The Howling Marsh is one of them.
During his childhood, Tryndamere Tryndamere's clan moved south between the Howling Marsh and the Ironspike Mountains. It is also the location of the massacre where he was a sole survivor.
Also, as Durand crossed the Howling Marsh with his masterwork in tow, he was set upon by Noxian assassins in force. Outnumbered and overwhelmed, Galio Galio looked on in horror as the murderers cut down his charge, executing him swiftly before vanishing back into the mists. He stayed there feeling guilty for his master's death.
Later Poppy Poppy passed by the Marshes and rested right in front of Galio Galio without even noticing him. This later inspired him to return as the Sentinel of Demacia.
Before his update Karthus, the Deathsinger Karthus, the Deathsinger was the self-appointed ruler of the marshes. On the darkest of nights he would sing the tales of those who have journeyed and perished in it.

Atari Flashback Portable
Because we think old school games are more fun, we like this upcoming Atari Flashback Portable that bests previous flashbacks by going mobile. The compact package holds dozens of Atari games and requires no cartridges. What's more, all games are uploaded using a USB port (although there aren't any details yet on how that will happen) and it has two ports for joysticks, enabling two-player games. Designed by Curt Vendel (who also heads up the online Atari History Museum), the unit will run on three AAA batteries giving it a 15-hour life and it includes an AV output for TV or headphones. There's no word yet on when it will come out, but we bet it will be at least in time for the holidays.

"Fiesta (The Sun Also Rises)", by Ernest Hemingway
(actualisé le ) by Ray
Does that not remind us of something ? Yes, this is decidedly reminiscent of Steven Dedalus’s day of roaming around the Dublin of 1905 in Ulysses. Was Hemingway familiar with Joyce’s epic work, published in Paris in 1922 by the only English-language bookstore in the city at that time? Did he ever meet up with Joyce at that bookstore, which Hemingway must have often vistited, or in one of the innumerable drinking spots frequented by the expatriate literary community? Was Hemingway interested in emulating Joyce’s idea of experimenting with language forms in a new way, in tune with the drive for technical experimentation then so predominant in other art forms? These considerations do tend to reinforce the interest of this important work, in my humble opinion.
The narrator being American, the vague à l’âme of the "lost generation" is copiously nourished by alcohol in almost every possible variety. And copious is hardly an appropriate word for the quantities that get routinely consumed morning, noon and night. Is the determined, agressive dinking, often culminating in crude rows and in one case serious fisticuffs, an expression of the désouevrement of the lost generation, or the cause of it, one might wonder? It is in any case impressive, bordering on the extravagant: for example, in the final goodbye dinner the narrator has already personally gotten through three bottles of fine wine before ordering another two for dessert for his ladylove (who sips a bit) and himself!
In any case, this is a story about disenchantment, told in a turgid, abrupt, bare style that effectively evokes the sparse mental horizons of the participants and the existential angst of the narrator, a style particularly well suited to the straightforward tell-it-like-it-is American way-of-being of the main protagonists. It must have seemed strikingly original at the time. Sentences are very short. The narrator recounts in minute detail his most mundane activities. He gets out of bad and shaves. He crosses the street to the café. He has a café and croissant and goes to the office. We are light-years away from Oblomov, where it takes Gontcharov an entire chapter to describe his unforgettable hero’s efforts to get out of bed in the morning! But though the novelty of the style has now worn off (as has been the case with Joyce’s sylistic extavangances), Hemingway’s understatement style is as effective as ever in engaging the reader to go beyond and beneath the surface narrative to empathize with the profound existential concerns being addressed.
Definitely to be recommended.

In an options trade, both sides of the transaction make a bet on the volatility of the underlying security. While there are several methods for measuring volatility, options traders generally work with two metrics: Historical volatility measures past trading ranges of underlying securities and indexes, while implied volatility gauges expectations for future volatility, which are expressed in options premiums. The combination of these metrics has a direct influence on options' prices, specifically the component of premiums referred to as time value, which often fluctuates with the degree of volatility. Generally speaking, periods when these measurements indicate high volatility tend to benefit options sellers, while low volatility readings benefit buyers.
Historical Volatility
Also referred to as statistical volatility, historical volatility gauges the fluctuations of underlying securities by measuring price changes over predetermined periods of time. This calculation may be based on intraday changes but most often measures movements based on the change from one closing price to the next. Depending on the intended duration of the options trade, historical volatility can be measured in increments ranging from 10 to 180 trading days.
By comparing the percentage changes over longer periods of time, investors can gain insights on relative values for the intended time frames of their options trades. For example, if the average historical volatility is 25% over 180 days and the reading for the preceding 10 days is 45%, a stock is trading with higher-than-normal volatility. Because historical volatility measures past metrics, options traders tend to combine the data with implied volatility, which takes forward-looking readings on options premiums at the time of the trade.
Implied Volatility
By gauging significant imbalances in supply and demand, implied volatility represents the expected fluctuations of an underlying stock or index over a specific time frame. Options premiums are directly correlated with these expectations, rising in price when either excess demand or supply is evident and declining in periods of equilibrium.
The level of supply and demand, which drives implied volatility metrics, can be affected by a variety of factors ranging from market-wide events to news related directly to a single company. For example, if several Wall Street analysts make forecasts three days prior to a quarterly earnings report that a company is going to soundly beat expected earnings, implied volatility and options premiums could increase substantially in the few days preceding the report. Once the earnings are reported, implied volatility is likely to decline in the absence of a subsequent event to drive demand and volatility.
Using Historical and Implied Volatility
In the relationship between these metrics, the historical volatility reading serves as the baseline, while fluctuations in implied volatility define the relative values of options premiums. When the two measures represent similar values, options premiums are generally considered to be fairly valued based on historical norms. Options traders seek the deviations from this state of equilibrium to take advantage of overvalued or undervalued options premiums.

Climate Change to Blame
By: Cowbag - Published: • References: bbc
Climate change is being being blamed for the changing shape of Scottish Sheep - the results of a 20 year study of Soay sheep in the Outher Hebrides revealed.
Published in Science, it is thought that increasingly harsh winters have led to larger sheep. This in turn has effected population size.
Describing studying the flock as a natural labatory - the study also not surprsingly concluded that when winters became less harsh the sheep would get smaller. Stats for Sheep Changing Shape Trending: Older & Chilly

Rep. Ginny Shaver defends proposed wake surfing ban, says there’s been a ‘public outcry’ on the issue
Last week, the Alabama Senate passed a bill that would prohibit wake surfing in a public body of water that’s less than 50 acres in size, in any portion of public water where the width of the portion is less than 400 feet and within 200 feet of a shoreline, dock, pier, boathouse or any other structure.
Senate Bill 281 is sponsored by State Sens. Garlan Gudger (R-Cullman) and Jabo Waggoner (R-Vestavia Hills) and is being carried in the House by Rep. Ginny Shaver (R-Leesburg). The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 26-0 with nine abstentions. It also passed the House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee with one amendment. The full language of the bill can be found here.
Friday on WVNN’s “The Dale Jackson Show,” Shaver explained why the wake surfing ban was necessary.
“There’s been a lot of public outcry about the issues concerning wake boats and wake surfers due to the damage that the wakes cause to lake property, just the nuisance they cause by people who are not considerate of others,” she said.
Shaver also gave more details about where legislators have been hearing complaints.
“About a year or so ago there was a public meeting and over 200 people from that area attended with concerns about these issues, so it’s not just a one-person problem,” she said.
The lawmaker also defended the amendment to the bill that would limit the ban to only lakes created by damming or river.
“Passing legislation is a compromise situation,” she protested. “If some things can get passed, some things can’t and sometimes compromises are made to get what you can get.”
Shaver went on to explain why the bill was crafted in a specific way.
“The proximity and the areas closest to the shoreline, that’s where the damage is going to happen, and so that’s why the proximity is the measure,” she explained.

Midnight Raids on Filmmakers that embarrass the President? Yes we Can!
A couple related posts.
Ken On Popehate looks down some of the deatils and reminds us that the guy behind this film is not a nice guy, and may have committed some actionable legal infractions, but that the censorship is also chilling.
This line from Miss W (a Canadian friend) says a bit:
Yeah. The fact that the movie was taken poorly by psychotics shouldn't be reason to go after him legally. But it also shouldn't be reason to withhold completely natural legal action.
It's a bad case. Because Nakoula is an entirely viable target for reasons completely unrelated to the content of the film. It was a scum move, but it's not an actionable move.
The man does need to get hit. But the administration should make it clear 'this is due to his personal legal record (crimes committed to the cast while making the film)- the film is tasteless and juvenile, but is also completely okay'.
Now as a Canadian, and from experience talking with her, Miss W would make the same line of argument no matter the US president. The media, however, would not.
And I have my doubts. As the Admin has been trying to blame it all on the film, with the hopes that it'll "make it go away".
And yes, it has been convenient that this is a guy that the admin had legal leverage against. Not in any tin-foil "Oh isn't that convenient way", but I'm betting the admin breathed a huge sigh of relief when they had an avenue of legal recourse against this man.
Which enabled them to do this.
Update: The preceding link to Instapundit has a lot more updates.
The problem is as Ace says it: "The Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt demanded that those responsible for blasphemy be prosecuted, and look what's happened."
And a reminder from Ace: "By the way, they usually don't stop at just one midnight knock on the door"
Yes, being a filmmaker does not automatically give you a blanket against all crimes (Hi Roman Polanski!) but the cause and effect is undeniably there.
There is a legitimate question as to when the threat of legal prosecution becomes extortion. This especially comes up when the law is enforced selectively. Like say only certain filmmakers get this kind of investigation into their business practices. Or only certain people have their drug result in the police going after them.
Update: One of the Instapundit updates actually addresses that very point:
MORE: Reader Richard Eastland writes:
Prosecuting someone because they broke the law is one thing.
Only prosecuting someone who, broke the law, after they embarrassed the administration is gangster government, extortion, and the road to totalitarianism.
Update2: Glenn Reynolds gives a minor correction: "And that’s pretty clearly what’s happened here. Though to be fair, they didn’t actually prosecute him. Just took him downtown to answer a few questions. Voluntarily. After midnight. With a lot of TV cameras there, somehow."
That's part of why I'm not confident that the President or anyone in the administration will make the distinction of "We arrested this guy for crimes unrelated to the content of his speech."
It's also because, they can't even say this much: "In the United States, we are not in the business of approving these messages"?

Planting Seeds
When you're writing a story, especially a novel, you probably don't want to give everything away right at the beginning. Some details are better when you save them for later. But how do you get there? Do you drop hints along the way? How do you build up to revealing something?
I've noticed this concept coming up quite a bit while I'm editing my novel, particularly with my subplots. I've always called this method "planting seeds," as in, I'm planting just the start of an idea that will be in full bloom later on in the novel (that analogy works, right?). Sometimes I worry, though, if this actually works. By the time that idea is in full bloom, does the reader care anymore?
Example time! One of my subplots in UL involves Jordan's friends, Brian and Eric. Every time we see them, it's brought up how Eric has a crush on a girl, but he never says who she is. At first, it may seem like this is useless information, especially when there are much bigger things going on in the main plot. But later on in the book, who this girl is and how she factors into the story are much more important. She's not so important early on in the book, but when she actually does show up, I'm hoping that it's not so random because I've been hinting at her all along.
I've done something similar when it comes to certain character details. Maybe one character doesn't want to reveal something about himself, but since the idea has been brought up, eventually it has to be explored. Or, another example, there's a certain detail about Jordan's mother that he keeps secret from the reader, but later on in the book, he's forced to reveal it to another character. I've tried to drop hints up until this point but really spent a long time avoiding it (but on purpose!). When it's finally revealed, we can look back and think, oh that's what he was talking about!
Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is to just have a moment where the reader should think, "oh, ok, this will definitely come up again later!" Even if it's not necessarily important to the plot right at that moment. But my hope is that planting these seeds will make the moments later on where the idea is actually relevant not so out of nowhere. Hopefully the reader will believe it because they at least knew something was going to happen.
The thing I worry about is whether the reader will notice or even care when these hints are dropped. Or maybe when the real idea is revealed, they'll think back on all of those hints that went over their heads.
Do you plant seeds early on in your stories?

I Finished Chapter 11! (Sort Of...)
I was originally going to write a blog post for Monday, but on Sunday night I was actually getting some editing done. I figured I would have to pull myself away from editing in order to write a post, and my energy was probably better spent on the editing. Not only because I've been working on this novel for my entire freaking life more than six years, but I'm still pushing towards my Camp NaNoWriMo goal of getting 60 hours of editing done this month.
So how are things going? Still pretty slow, actually. But progress is progress, right? If I only get an hour of editing done every day, that's still a whole hour that I wasn't previously doing.
I've been stuck on Chapter 11 for pretty much forever. There were just a lot of things to work with. There was main plot and subplot. The chapter had three whole scenes, all with breaks in between, which I'm not a huge fan of. I like at most to have two separate scenes, or have a chapter that just flows through several days of action without actually making any breaks. Three scenes was a bit jarring to me, also considering the fact that not one, but TWO of them were make-out scenes. Seems a little excessive for one chapter. I kept wondering if both were really necessary.
The easiest decision for this chapter was that I did not actually need BOTH make-out scenes. Picking the one to keep was easy, too. The second one was longer and more in depth, actually progressing the physical relationship between my characters, which is what I'm aiming for whenever one of these scenes takes place. The first scene was really short and the purpose of it was more so that one character could manipulate another, which I realized I could just do with dialogue. The making out just wasn't necessary.
But anyway, this post wasn't supposed to be about make-out scenes (booooooooooooooo!). On Tuesday, I actually finished my edit of Chapter 11! And yet, the work isn't done.
See, when I started to work on that first scene, it was only two pages. And those two pages sucked. Seriously. I had a note on the first page that just said "make this not suck." So I basically approached it like I had to completely rewrite it. Maybe a few lines here and there could stay, but overall, completely new words. And that's pretty much what happened. And not just new words...a whole lot of new words.
Two pages eventually transformed into five. When I realized how long this scene was becoming, I figured it could probably stand as its own chapter. Now that it's finally done, my third draft has a complete Chapter 11. Woohoo!
However! I still have two scenes to edit from the original Chapter 11. Those two scenes will now be Chapter 12. This will probably throw me off when I talk about future chapter edits since I basically added an entirely new chapter to the third draft. But something is done, at least!
So, is my original Chapter 11 done? Not quite. But is my NEW Chapter 11 done? Yes! I'll take that as a win.
Old scene...
New chapter!

from Hobson’s Pledge Trust
The three waters are drinking water, wastewater and stormwater. The Three Waters Plan (that you may have seen advertisements for) is a tricky co-governance plan for central government to get control of our assets which are managed by our local councils. After more than 60 iwi-only meetings, the Government and tribal leaders have divided New Zealand into four massive, unwieldy zones. Each zone will take ownership and control of our water and water-related infrastructure.
Who will be in control?
Each zone will have a mega agency, managed 50:50 by tribal and council appointees on a 12-member board. For instance, the 20 local authorities in the South Island entity will have only six seats in total, despite contributing all infrastructure. One tribe there will have the other six seats. Those tribal representatives will, in effect, have a veto over what your community gets and pays as 75% of the board must agree on all decisions.
Is co-governance a fair structure?
Based on the performance of existing co-governance entities, no they’re not. The public representatives have nothing at stake, so choose an easy life, taking their pay while agreeing to whatever the tribal appointees demand. And demand they do, often in an intimidating way.
How does this affect you?
Each water agency will decide what services you get or not, how well pipes are maintained or not, how quickly repairs are done or not, and where new infrastructure will be built or not. Most importantly, they will decide how much you pay, whether you receive any benefit or not. Private landowners, businesses and farms will be vulnerable to tribal agendas and conflicts of interest.
Will the board be answerable to you?
No. Board members are not elected. There is no way to challenge them, to make them accountable, to avoid conflicts of interest, or to remedy poor decision-making or damage done.
Will councils be paid for assets we ratepayers funded?
No. The Government will borrow money to settle any Council debt on existing water infrastructure, but they won’t buy the asset. They’ll simply confiscate billions of dollars of value, paid for by generations of ratepayers. Councils will no longer have water infrastructure as an asset to use as security for borrowing. This will undermine council viability.
The Government claims improved water services. Is this credible?
No it’s not. Independent experts have reviewed government’s estimates of cost reductions and say the figures are “founded on unsound evidence and faulty analysis” (Castalia) and “should not be relied on to project actual expenditure, revenue and pricing outcomes” (Farrier).
Are councils in favour of Three Waters?
Councils have less than two weeks to decide. Many are saying “NO” to Three Waters, many are so far sitting on the fence, some are in favour. Cash-strapped councils are being pressured by financial inducements from central government to support the confiscation.
Do councils have to consult with their communities?
Councils are legally bound to consult ratepayers over major decisions on water. Unfortunately, the Government’s determination suggests they may pass special legislation to nullify this democratic requirement.
Why do some call this a silent ‘revolution’?
It fits. The Government’s Three Waters proposal involves the dismantling of our democracy, the denial of access by individuals to decision-makers, and the loss of accountability to affected communities.
YOU CAN HELP –Demand a referendum.
Please contact your councillor today or tomorrow and demand a right to vote on whether or not your community wants to give your three waters infrastructure to central government, to be managed by just six council representatives (from all the councils in your water zone) and six iwi appointees.
Copy this page and deliver into letter boxes in your neighbourhood or e-mail to others.
NOTE: Three Waters is part of the He Puapua plan to set up two governments for New Zealand, one by [part] Maori for [part] Maori, and the other, a fully bicultural government for everyone else. This system would be subject to a tribal monitoring committee.
Aside from the unacceptable racist ideology involved, there is just no reason to believe that these centralised bureaucratic Corporations would do the job any more efficiently than the local councils can. Everyone knows what happened to the Jacinda government’s KiwiBuild. —Eds

What Is The Bermuda Triangle
831 Words4 Pages
Perhaps one of the most famous or maybe infamous mysteries from the early days up to the present times revolves around the Bermuda Triangle. It is a mythical triangular section in the Atlantic, approximately confined within Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. Lots of questions were raised with regards to the disappearance of dozens of planes and ships. Some were explained and some still remains shrouded in mystery.
Covering about 500 thousand square miles of ocean from the southeastern point of Miami, Florida, the triangular section was referred to as the Bermuda Triangle or the Devils Triangle. During one of Christopher Columbus’ travels, when he traversed in these waters on his first expedition to the New World, he reportedly say that he saw a great flame of fire (it maybe a meteor) crashed into the sea and that weird light appeared a few weeks later a few distance away from their boat. Erratic compass readings were also written by Columbus during his travels in these waters, well perhaps this is because the Bermuda Triangle is one of the few areas on Earth where the true North and Magnetic North lines up.
The disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle didn’t really get the people’s attention until the 20th century. One instance

It was told that these mysteries are already happening 15,000 years before it became really popular. Do aliens really have a hand on these disappearances or does the ancient and mystical city of Atlantis along with its lost technology is behind all the strange phenomena? I guess rumors will stay rumors unless proven otherwise. What fascinates me is, with all the gadgets and technology of the digital age, not all of these strange disappearances were solved and given viable explanation. A big chunk of metal vanishing without a trace up until our modern age is really mind boggling. Well, wherever they went and whatever happened, I guess only God knows the

Nymphomaniac dating sites Sri lanka fucking girls chat with online
You're a good looking guy, just go ahead and start a conversation with a nymphomaniac. If a nympho is interested, she will answer back and you'll be on your way. Just think, I might have sex with you out of pity if it doesn't work. The next time you see a good looking nymphomaniac sitting by herself at a bar, sit down beside her.In a word, be an introvert, not the least bit outgoing. Unfortunately nymphos are very rare and it is very hard to detect one at first sight, but there are scientifically proven and statistically confirmed indicators that can assist you on your quest to conquer a nympho.She was a good person who was seeking to live her life in as positive a way as possible but the amount of baggage she was carrying was staggering.I have lost contact with her but my heart goes out to her struggles and hope she finds peace.
nymphomaniac dating sites-90nymphomaniac dating sites-68nymphomaniac dating sites-5nymphomaniac dating sites-46
Let’s face it, chick magnets and nymphos have very little in common.You have to be at the opposite end of the spectrum from "The life of the party." Let us have a little experiment. The nympho is rather unobtrusive and of average looks, but definitely not ugly.Let's go in separately, you stay close to me and listen to what guys say when they hit on me. Nobody would guess from her looks that she was given this fantastic, and breathtaking gift.Women who tell you they are nymphos are usually only pretending and in fact, hugely disappointing.They are usually finished after only the third orgasm (a real nymphomaniac will be ready for at least seven unless you are hideously ugly) and fall asleep.

Soham is about to drink alcohol, but he then sees Naren playing with the kids, and doesnt touch alcohol bottle. He stops a waiter and asks him if there is anything to eat.
Then there is a dance competition between two hot couples Raunak and Kinnari, Naren and Ankita.
Sunanda will decide who the winner is. Sunanda tells Ankita their dance was much better, but its special day for Raunak and Kinnari so she will declare them as the winner. She goes on the stage and says both performances were good and the winner is Raunak-Kinnari. Naren is shocked and disappointed. Sunanda gives a gift to Raunak-Kinnari.
Naren expresses disappointment to Ankita. He says everyone clapped more for them and their performance was much better, but still they didnt win. Ankita makes him understand that it doesnt matter, its their sangeet so they had to win. Naren finally feels satisfied. Sunanda notices it and feels happy.
Raunak feels where hes stuck in this stupid competition. Mansi and Shashank are looking at Naren and Ankita. Mansi says they performed so good. Shashank doesnt respond. Mansi is walking away, but Shashank stops her and says what she said is right, but what shes thinking now is wrong. He tells her he was looking at Ankita, but not with any feelings. He says I had problem with Ankitas marriage as I thought Naren is not made for her, I thought she would return to me. But I was wrong. When I see them today, I feel they are really made for each other. They both look so happy together. Mansi agrees. Shashank says he hopes everyone will say same for him and Mansi.
Kinnari is busy talking on phone with her friend. Raunak is getting bored and wonders if hell be able to spend his entire life with her or no. He says shes pretty, but Mansi is prettier.

He asks him whether he will keep her happy, always support her in any situation. Shashank says he will always keep her happy and support her in any situation. Naren asks Ankita if any more questions. Ankita says no. Naren then says they will finalize Shashank then. He hugs Shashank and welcomes him to the family.
Mansi goes on the stage and starts talking about Raunak and his familys thinking. Raunak is very scared. Mansi says they are big people and she wants to talk about one member particularly, son of this house. There are many people with double faces and she wants to tell truth of such person. Raunak is very afraid. Mansi now changes her tone and talks about Naren. She says she has met many people, but has never seen a guy like Naren. Raunak has a sigh of relief. Mansi praises Naren and says hes best jiju of her. Ankita gets emotional. Soham feels proud. Mansi too starts getting emotional. Naren tells her you dont cry and calls her to him. Mansi hugs Naren and Ankita. Kinnari is annoyed with useless speeches.
Later, Mansi comes to Raunak and asks him what happened to him when she was on the stage. She didnt say anything about him and his condition is already bad, what would have happened if she had said everything. He would be thrown out of the house and the happiest person would be Mansi herself because she knows that is what he deserves. Raunak looks at her with anger.

Types Of Affairs What is infidelity?
Does it mean sex with someone else other than your partner?
Well, yeah, that’s true. But the actual meaning can run much deeper. Infidelity is not just cheating by having sex. There are many different types of affairs, and affairs are usually not sexually motivated.
Emotional Affairs
Mark enjoys grabbing Starbucks coffee with Courtney five minutes before they start their boring nine to five job. After a few months of meeting Courtney for coffee, Mark asks her to join him for lunch at the nearby café. She agrees and they have a great time talking about their spouses, jobs, and children. Mark and Courtney start to communicate more with each other than they do to their own spouses. They tell each other secrets that they can’t bear to share with their significant others. But they never touch – not even a kiss. Is this infidelity?
Emotional cheating can be more detrimental to a marriage than physical infidelity. When you establish an emotional relationship with someone other than your spouse and begin disclosing secrets to this person, you’re disengaging yourself from your current relationship. This is harder to reverse than having sex with no ties.
Internet Affairs
We are now in an age where people can connect with one another anonymously over the internet. People can look at pornography, have cyber sex, and make lasting friendships with the click of a mouse. More and more couples complain that their significant other spends more time on the computer than with them.
Two people can easily meet in a chat room and start talking more regularly through e-mail and instant messaging. One night it can become more heated and then go to the next level of cyber sex. Is this better than actually meeting in person to have sex? At the very least, it’s safer. You can’t contract a sexually transmitted disease through cyber sex, but you can lose the trust of a spouse.
Physical Affairs
The scale begins at holding hands and kissing and increases to having sexual intercourse. People can have different types of physical affairs:
Problem Solving Affair: This involves people that believe having an affair could solve their problems.
Exit Affair: This occurs when people want to end their relationship but feel stuck and unsure about how to end the relationship. Instead of communicating with their partner, they have an affair. These people are too scared to just end a relationship. They need to have a bigger reason than unhappiness, so they create one.
Improve your Marriage Affair: Impossible? Not quite. Some people seek an affair to spice up their marriage. These people might be thinking that once their partners find out about the infidelity, the sex at home might get hotter. How about trying a sexy doctor/patient scenario instead?
Midlife Crisis Affair:
When people get older, they want to find things in their lives that can make them feel younger. Having sex with a younger man or woman can fulfill this need. But so can a new hairstyle or car.
Revenge Affair: One partner finds out that the other cheated, so they seek revenge. Instead of dealing with the feelings of the first affair, the betrayed partner hides them by having an affair of their own. Does this actually make people feel that they are even?
Accidental Affair: Is there such a thing as an accidental affair? Not really. This implies that the person who has the affair is not seeking it. The affair is unplanned and a one night stand.
Trading Up Affair: This type of affair happens when someone is looking for a partner that they believe is somehow better than the one that they have. They want someone better looking, younger, richer, funnier, or smarter. These people are not satisfied with their current partner but don’t want to move on until finding someone superior.
Indulgence Affair: This man or woman is just looking to have sex with another partner. Maybe they have a fetish that their partner won’t indulge, so they seek it out somewhere else.
Sexual Addiction: Someone who is addicted to having sex uses it the same way that drug addicts use cocaine. They use sex to fill emptiness and numb their pain.
Sexual Deprivation Affair:
There is a lack of sex in the relationship which may lead to one partner to seek an affair. This happens when a couple stops having sex for a long period of time without discussing the reasons. For example, a couple who had a baby six months ago and is overwhelmed with other stressors such as finances and career issues may not prioritize sex. Human beings crave sexual contact, and they search for it elsewhere.
Affairs happen for many reasons, and typically they begin because basic needs are not being met. This is not to say that you are to blame for your partner’s affair. It simply means that when one spouse is having an affair, there really is an underlying problems in the relationship.
You have to identify the root cause of the problems in the relationship to prevent or recover from infidelity. Every problem has a core. People don’t just argue, they argue for a reason. People typically don’t just have sex with someone besides their partner. They are filling an emotional void that leads to sex.

A Weekend of Hell
Generally speaking, we here at Heirloom Fire only take 1 event a weekend. To the average catering company that would sound insane as the average company takes a minimum of 3 events a day in the busy season.
Heirloom Fire is actually a very small business. We have our core group of cooks that travel with us like a family. Each cook knows their station and works every event to perfect their execution on their property. This is the reason that we absolutely only take 1 event per day, no exceptions. The client deserves the best we have to offer.
Every so often someone calls your phone and despite knowing the amount of extra work that will need to be tackled, you just can’t say no.
Not that long ago Il Posto Tuo (Del Posto’s offsite arm) did just that. The game plan was a large scale party for their client in Sag Harbor that would run on the theme of “Heaven and Hell”… I bet you can guess which one we were. The hitch was that we had a wedding the following day 3 hours in the opposite direction of this location.
Always one for a challenge, I gathered my team and we started planning all the logistics to get us there and set us up for success. Our goal is always to show people something they have never seen, therefor I wanted to design a new piece of equipment to unveil just for this event.

is forever a big myth. The reason is simple; since physically challenged people might find trouble trying to land a sex partner, most of them take to gay sex dolls in a bid to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of sex while waiting on their mate.

The dual nature of money: why monetary systems matter for equitable bioeconomy
Ansel Renner*, Herman Daly, Kozo Mayumi
*Corresponding author for this work
Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review
1 Citation (Scopus)
Money can be understood from an individual perspective as an abstract form of wealth. From a communal perspective, however, money is better regarded as a debt, a biophysical liability, a lien on future real income of the community. Proper recognition of this dual nature raises concerns over modern, aggressive practices of money creation. It provokes a general reassessment of current institutional agreements surrounding money. In this contribution, said agreements are shown to endow money with an unnatural power to preserve its function despite structural decay. The origin of money interest derives from such institutionally given, unnatural power, where it should be noted that interest itself leads to a strong temptation among entities with money issuance rights to issue more and more. Ultimately, considered together, the dual nature of money and the biophysical origin of money interest provoke the need for a societal reappraisal of which entities should properly be given the right to create money, and which are functioning as “legal counterfeiters”. If a transition towards a more sustainable, more equitable bioeconomy is to be realized one day, discussion over who those entities are and what their rightful role is must be reopened.

Epididymis: where sperm get fine tuned and functional
In honor of the up-coming Father’s Day, I thought I’d tell the story of a little known but highly significant male reproductive organ- the epididymis. It is pronounced Eppie-Diddy-Mus which may sound like an urban rapper but I assure you, it is not. The epididymis which is attached to and lies just above the testicle, is responsible for the “detailing” or “fine-tuning” of freshly made sperm just released from the testicle. Yes, the testicle produces the sperm but without the polishing and detailing in the epididymis, sperm wouldn’t swim and wouldn’t be able to fertilize an egg. So pretty important, no?
It is important for a male to be able to tell when there are changes in the size or feel of his testicles or epididymides because these may be signs of cancer or inflammation associated with infection. This link, Get to Know Your Testis, explains how to find the epididymis ( which lies to the top and back of each testicle). You should also be able to also feel the tubes leaving from the epididymis called the vas deferens. If a vasectomy is performed, these tubes which normally carry sperm from the epididymis to the penis are clipped inside the scrotum to render the male sterile. Reconnecting the tubes surgically via a vasectomy-reversal procedure can restore fertility if not too much time has elapsed between the two surgeries. There are two kinds of vasectomy reversal procedures as described in this article from the NY TImes Health Guide. It’s worth reading for those who want to know more about vasectomy and it’s reversal.
• Vasovasostomy . The severed ends of the vas deferens are sewn back together.
• Vasoepididymostomy . The vas deferens is surgically reattached directly to the epididymis. This procedure is more difficult to perform and is used when vasovasostomy cannot be performed or does not work.
But this post is about the epididymis, which despite years of research over many decades is still shrouded in mystery. The epididymis has three functionally distinct regions , the caput (or head), the corpus (or body) and the cauda (or tail). What is clear is that by the time the sperm transits these three regions and is stored in the final region, the cauda, prior to ejaculation, it is a fully mature sperm, capable of strong forward progressive motility and has acquired the molecular ability to fertilize the egg. But in spite of decades of research in both animals and humans, we still don’t fully understand all the molecular changes that occur in the sperm membrane within this organ.
The review article New Insights into Epididymal Biology and Function is a highly detailed review for those who want to understand the nitty-gritty scientific efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for the epididymides’ unique ability to grant life-giving properties to sperm. For the andrologist or reproductive scientist, it has lots of references for further study.
Up to 40% of infertility is due to male-specific causes. Some of these causes are not obvious and may well be due to molecular sperm defects we are incapable of detecting–and may be due to faulty “fine-tuning” of sperm cells in the epididymis. Much of male-specific infertility can be addressed by the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection or ICSI, which bypasses some deficiencies in sperm functionality acquired in the epididymis, like the inability to swim. However, ICSI is not without risks and sometimes fertilization fails even with ICSI so ICSI is not the solution for every cause of male infertility.
The original sperm cell produced by the testis looks like a sperm cell, but it is non-functional and can not swim. That is why testicular sperm can only be used with ICSI, not for conventional IVF or insemination, because it can not yet swim, nor fertilize an egg. The lipid (fat molecules) and proteins that are inserted into the plasma membrane of the sperm cell also change while in transit through the epididymis. Some molecules are shedded and others are added to the sperm membrane to ultimately produce a functional sperm cell which can swim to, attach to, penetrate and fertilize an egg.
Researchers looking for male contraceptives are also interested in understanding which proteins are involved with functional maturation of sperm so that a reversible non-hormonal method to block sperm maturation can be designed. Likewise, if the molecular maturation mechanisms were understood, it might be possible to mature sperm in vitro and be able to use conventional in vitro fertilization, instead of ICSI, to gain the benefit of some natural selection. Therefore, a better understanding of the epididymis may lead to new therapies for infertility as well as new methods for contraception.
Each segment of the epididymis appears to have distinct gene profiles, producing a highly regulated cellular micro-environment, capable of responding to signalling pathways in a highly orchestrated way. Each segment is physiologically separated from the adjacent segment by connective tissue, permitting compartmentalization of the organ and segment-specific regulation . Not surprisingly, the various cells of the epididymis respond to androgens, the male hormone. Studies suggest that sperm and the cells lining the epididymis also exchange cell to cell signals as part of the in transit maturation process and probably further regulate that process. The epididymis may have the most complex fluid composition of any exocrine gland and this composition varies with each region of epididymis. The caput produces 70-80% of the proteins secreted into the epididymal lumen. By the time the sperm get to the cauda end, most of the fluid has been reabsorbed, fundamentally increasing the concentration of proteins bathing the sperm in the tubes.
Take good care of your epididymis and it will take good care of you. Check your epididymis (and testicles) every month for changes in size, areas of hardening or changes in sensitivity or pain. Let your physician know about any unusual changes which could indicate epididymal (or testicular) inflammation, infection, presence of cysts or nodules, or even cancer, all of which can impair your fertility and overall health. Here’s a link to more information on how to do a self-exam.
Happy Father’s Day!

Indesign text import – more efficient way
iam trying to figure out a faster way to do one task we sometimes get at work. Basically we receive a text like this:
Company name
Client name
Lorem ipsum text around 200 characters.
Each of those paragraphs have to start at specified spot and be properly formatted. What i do is setup a table with formatted cells and then just select it all and paste in the text from excel table. But i still have to massage it a little bit after that – for example it wont import hard returns from excel file which messes up some of my styles and of course the aforementioned 200 character text have to be imported separately.
Is there some better/more efficient way to do this? And is there a way to import hard returns when copying from excel?
Thank you very much
• 1. Re: Indesign text import – more efficient way
tpk1982 Level 4
Try Data Merge option
• 2. Re: Indesign text import – more efficient way
vinny38 Level 4
In addition of tpk1982's advice, I must say that Excel hard returns are usually (always...) messing up Data Merge.
As I often use Data Merge, I always run a macro that get rids of them in my Excel file.
Here it is, you might find it helpful:
Sub KillHardReturns()
Dim MyRange As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
For Each MyRange In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If 0 < InStr(MyRange, Chr(10)) Then
MyRange = Replace(MyRange, Chr(10), "")
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub

Cat’s Eye Atwood, Margaret January 20, 1998
From the point of view of a young girl who is a non-believer. I think it was the first book I read where the protagonist was a non-believer.
Also, Atwood rocks. The Handmaid’s Tale would also be good - future in the US if the Fundamentalist Christians took over.

34 die as two suicide bombers strike Damascus
Albert Aji Damascus
Published 29/11/2012 | 05:00
TWO suicide bombers detonated their explosives-packed vehicles near a cluster of commercial buildings in a suburb of Damascus, killing at least 34 people and covering the street with pools of blood and debris.
The latest carnage to hit an area populated by religious minorities who support President Bashar Assad further raises concerns of a growing Islamic militant element among the forces seeking to topple him.
In the country's north, rebels claimed to have shot down a Syrian air force fighter jet, providing further evidence of their growing effectiveness and improved military capabilities. It was not immediately clear how the MiG-23 was downed, although activists and the Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency said it was most likely brought down by a missile.
The morning rush-hour bombings in the suburb of Jaramana, just a few kilometres southeast of Damascus, were the latest to hit the overwhelmingly pro-regime town. The twin blasts appeared designed to maximise damage and casualties and bore the hallmarks of radical Muslim groups fighting alongside other rebel units in Syria.
Witnesses said the second explosion went off after people rushed in to help those injured from the first blast, a tactic often used by al-Qa'ida in Iraq and elsewhere.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombings, but Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qa-ida-inspired extremist group that has become one of Syria's most potent and organised rebel groups, has claimed numerous suicide bombings in the past. Yesterday's bombs went off in a parking lot near commercial buildings as groups of labourers and employees were arriving for work, killing 34 and injuring 83 people.

My Kia Rondo (2008) rattles everytime I go over a bump on 2008 Kia Rondo
what could cause this? Also, it's sluggish on pickup speed and now the steering wheel vibrates when going faster than 65mph. Also, the car seems louder than normal. Are these all related or separate?

According to Skáldskaparmál, one of the three vessels that contained the mead of poetry, which Fjalarr and Galarr made from the blood Kvasir after they had killed him. The dwarfs gave the mead to Suttungr as compensation for the murder of his parents. Suttungr concealed the mead inside the room called Hnitbjörg and set his daughter Gunnlöð to guard over it. Odin sneaked his way into the chamber and lay with Gunnlöð for three nights, and then she gave him leave to drink three drafts of the mead. In the first draft Odin drank every drop out of Óðrerir; and in the second, he emptied Boðn; and in the third, Són; and then he had all the mead.
In skaldic poetry, Óðrerir is a synonym for the mead of poetry. In Hávamál 108, Óðrerir seems to refer to the magic mead itself, whereas in stanza 142 it is the name of the vessel containing it.

The History of Psychedelic Rock
Psychedelic music covers a range of popular music styles, genres and scenes, that may include psychedelic rock, psychedelic folk, psychedelic pop, psychedelic soul, psychedelic ambient, psychedelic trance, and others. Psychedelic rock is also commonly called acid rock. Psychedelic music can occur in almost every genre of music, including classical Western art music. Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that is inspired or influenced by psychedelic culture and attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs. It emerged during the mid 1960s among garage and folk rock bands in Britain and the United States. Psychedelic rock bridged the transition from early blues-based rock to progressive rock, art rock, experimental rock, hard rock and eventually heavy metal. It also drew on non-Western sources such as Indian music's ragas, drone and sitar.
Psychedelic rock evolved in the 60s as an offshoot of the rock and roll movement combining elements of rock, electronic music, eastern influences - particularly sitars, and other diverse elements. Inspired by the use of mind altering drugs like cannabis, mescaline, psilocybin, and especially LSD, psychedelic rock broke with traditional rock and laid the roots for Krautrock and experimental rock genres of the seventies and eighties. In 1965-1967, The Beatles also were recording psychedelic rock with tracks like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" to name a few, but were not strictly classified as psychedelic rock. Cream and Pink Floyd (with original founder Syd Barrett) embraced psychedelic music fully becoming two of the first truly psychedelic bands.
The Beatles
Pink Floyd
Psychedelic music could also be interpreted as simply a "surreal and dreamy feeling" in a particular song, instead of a specific genre with rules to follow. In some cases, this simply requires writing one coherent song, then to experiment recording that song in the studio while under "psychedelic influence", yielding very surreal musical results. A classic example of this method is "Bass Strings", by Country Joe And The Fish. This early track, written and recorded by Country Joe and the rest of his band in 1966, was obviously an upbeat, hasty, and offensive song of protest in a raw jug band influenced style. In 1967, this song changed dramatically, not to meet more contemporary commercial standards, but rather to re-record it as an experimental track while under the influence of LSD. The new psychedelic result was clearly self-evident in Country Joe's first studio album ("Electric Music for the Mind and Body") when "Bass Strings" featured a much slower tempo, delayed vocals, added reverb, studio reversed cymbals, electric organ, desert traveler lyrics, and a continuous blues guitar solo which together make this song a very, in the true sense of the word, "psychedelic" track.
Country Joe And The Fish
The Jefferson Airplane website states that (the album), "After Bathing at Baxter's" was the group's attempt to capture what the psychedelic experience sounded and felt like to them from the inside." Jimi Hendrix is also renowned for his talent and guitar virtuosity being able to emulate the psychedelic experience.

Jimi Hendrix
The psychedelic musical style typically features:
• electric guitars—12-strings being preferred for their 'jangle
• elaborate studio effects, such as backwards taping, panning (sound placement in the stereo field), phasing, long delay loops, and extreme reverb
• exotic instrumentation, with a particular fondness for the sitar and tabla
• a strong keyboard presence, especially Hammond, Farfisa, and Vox Organs, the Rhodes electric piano, Harpsichords, and the Mellotron (an early tape-driven 'sampler')
• a strong emphasis on extended instrumental solos
• modal melodies and surreal, esoterically-inspired, or whimsical lyrics;
• in contrast with earlier forms of rock, lyrical themes were often existential, spiritual or literary in nature: e.g., White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane is based on the novel Alice in Wonderland.

Geniuses Are Born Not Made Argumentative Essay Structure
“Gentlemen,” he was saying, “I shall be brief, but I would like to use my remaining timewith you to remind you that this case is not a difficult one, it requires no minute sifting of complicated facts, but it does require you to be sure beyond all reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant. To begin with, this case should have never have come to trial. This case is as simple as black and white.
“The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place. It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on cross-examination, but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant. The defendant is not guilty, but somebody in this courtroom is.
“I have nothing to but pity in my heart for the chief witness for the state, but my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man’s life at stake, which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt.
“I say guilt, gentlemen, because it was guilt that motivated her. She has committed no crime, she has merely broken a rigid and time-honoured code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with.She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance, but I cannot pity her: she is white. She knew full well the enormity of her offense, but because her desires were stronger than the code she was breaking, she persisted in breaking it. She persisted, and her subsequent reaction is something that all of us have known at one time or another. She did something every child has done—she tried to put the evidence of her offense away from her.But in this case she was no child hiding stolen contraband: she struck out at her victim—of necessity she must put him away from her—he must be removed from her presence, from this world.She must destroy the evidence of her offence.
“What was the evidence of her offence? Tom Robinson, a human being. She must put Tom Robinson away from her. Tom Robinson was her daily reminder of what she did.What did she do? She tempted a Negro.
“Her father saw it, and the defendant has testified as to his remarks. What did her father do? We don’t know, but there is circumstantial evidence to indicate that Mayella Ewell was beaten savagely by someone who led most exclusively with his left.We do know in part what Mr. Ewell did: he did what any God-fearing, preserving, respectable white man would do under circumstances—he swore a warrant, no doubt signing with his left hand, and Tom Robinson now sits before you, having taken the oath with the only good hand he possesses—his right hand.
“And so a quiet, respectable, humble Negro who had the unmitigated temerity to ‘feel sorry’ for a white womanhas had to put his word against two white people. I need not to remind of their appearance and conduct on the stand—you saw them for yourselves. The witness for the state, with the exception of the sheriff of Maycomb County, have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court, in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted, confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption—the evil assumption—that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women, an assumption that one associates with minds of their calibre.
“Which, gentlemen, we know is in itself a lie as black as Tom Robinson’s skin, a lie I do not have to point out to you. You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral, some Negro men are not to be trusted around women—black or white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men. There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing, and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire."
Atticus paused and took out his handkerchief. Then he took of his glasses and wiped them, and we saw another “first”: we had never seen him sweat—he was one of those men whose faces never perspired, but now it was shining tan.
“One more thing, gentlemen, before I quit. Thomas Jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase that the Yankees and the distaff side of the Executive branch in Washington are fond of hurling at us. There is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, for certain people to use this phrase of context, to satisfy all conditions. The most ridiculous example I can think of is that people who run public education promote the stupid and idle along with the industrious—because all men are created equal, educators will gravely tell you, the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inferiority. We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe—some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cake than others—some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of men.
“But there is one way in this country which all men are created equal—there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man equal of an Einstein, and an ignorant man equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court.It can be the Supreme Court of the United States or the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honourable court which you serve.Our courts have their faults, as does any human constitution, but in this country our courts are the great levellers, and in our courts all men are created equal.
“I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up. I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision, and restore this defendant to his family.In the name of God, do your duty.”
Published in 2008, Outliers: The Story of Success is Malcolm Gladwell’s third consecutive best-selling nonfiction book, following Tipping Point (2000) and Blink (2005). While Tipping Point focuses on the individual’s ability to effect change in society, Outliers deals with the cultural and societal forces that give rise to opportunistic individuals. Through a series of case studies, Gladwell insists that we have all too easily bought into the myth that successful people are self-made; instead, he says they “are invariably the beneficiaries of hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that allow them to learn and work hard and make sense of the world in ways others cannot.” Gladwell defines an outlier as a person out of the ordinary “who doesn't fit into our normal understanding of achievement.” According to Gladwell, great men and women are beneficiaries of specialization, collaboration, time, place, and culture. An outlier’s recipe for success is not personal mythos but the synthesis of opportunity and time on task.
Framed around the biblical parable of the talents, or “The Matthew Effect,” Part One examines opportunity as a function of timing. Canadian hockey players born closer to the magic birthday of January 1 reap advantages that compound over time. Likewise, computer programmers Bill Joy and Bill Gates, both born in the 1950s, have taken advantage of the relative-age effect to become industry giants in the 1980s. Gladwell not only debunks the romantic mystique of self-determinism, but also the myth that genius is born, not made. He claims that Mozart and The Beatles are not so much innate musical prodigies but grinders who thrived only after 10,000 hours of practice.
Part Two of Outliers focuses on cultural legacies, which Gladwell says “persist, generation after generation, virtually intact...and they play such a role in directing attitudes and behavior that we cannot make sense of our world without them." Gladwell is more eclectic here, and he examines both success and failure. He deftly moves from the dooming “culture of honor” in Appalachia to the rice paddy cultivation in China that fosters patient problem solving. Gladwell is at his best when he illustrates how a cultural legacy of failure can be transformed into one of success. Korean airlines, once very likely to crash their planes because of rigid power structures among pilots, have since fostered collaboration in the cockpit and, therefore, attained high safety ratings.
Though Outliers has continued Gladwell’s own success, critics have cited the book as being obvious, anecdotal, New York-centric, and too focused on nurture over nature—all to the point of political correctness. As Max Ross of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes, “Gladwell never questions that the foundations of success are hard work, ambition and ability. He is simply adding a hurdle: To attain success, these values must be placed in an agreeable tempora l and societal context.” Regardless of his critics, Gladwell empowers the public to feel worthy of rubbing elbows with the elite, provided of course they put in their 10,000 hours first.

Stockholm stays tailor-made - Nordregio
Stockholm stays tailor-made
Consisting of thirteen islands, a series of associated waterways and a number of vast green spaces, Stockholm's unique geography underlines the importance of solutions that are tailored to the local context. Development has expanded from Gamla Stan (Old Town) and has followed a star-shaped pattern, whereby five fingers have spread across the landscape, divided by green wedges and bodies of water. These open spaces ensure rapid access to nature for city dwellers.
Stockholm City Hall in front of the city centre. Stockholm’s inner city is characterised by a demand for property that far exceeds supply. This has led to further densification approaching the limit of what is viewed as appropriate in the city.
Stockholm City Hall in front of the city centre. Stockholm's inner city is characterised by a demand for property that far exceeds supply. This has led to further densification approaching the limit of what is viewed as appropriate in the city.
They figure prominently in Stockholm's identity, and are fiercely defended against encroachment. These spaces are seen as an important reason for the high quality of Stockholm's urban area, but also limit potential inner city development and lead to greater distances being travelled between various areas; which raises the costs associated with transport infrastructure and increases travel times.
The challenge of accommodating new residents has grown in recent years, particularly in the inner city, where after a
number of decades of out-migration, the housing market has exploded. This trend is expected to continue until at least 2050, by which time the region is forecast to grow by 565 000 residents, or more than 40%.
Further, an additional 160 000 people will need to find housing as a result of an increase in living spaces from 40m2 to 45m2. This means that Stockholm will have to accommodate an addi-tional 725 000 people, something that will place significant strain on the region's resource efficiency. The challenge is com-pounded by the limited space that is available for densification in the inner city of a decidedly monocentric urban form.
In accommodating this growth, Stockholm has several assets however. The region's public transit network is quite well developed, is well used and is closely linked to the region's continued spatial development. Planning authorities are aware of the challenges at hand and have responded with active strategies.
In the inner city, this has led to infill projects on brownfield sites, including the Hammarby Sjöstad and Norra Djurgårdsstaden mixed use projects which will provide 11 000 and 10 000 apartments respectively, along with a great deal of office and commercial space.
At the regional scale, a strategy to promote a more polycentric development pattern that corresponds to the transit network and encourages a more balanced structure has been implemented to reduce dependence on the inner city in terms of employment, leisure and transport. These initiatives indicate that planning authorities in Stockholm have recognised the need to foster more resource-efficient strategies to limit the adverse effects that can accompany growth.
The sheer scale of the population growth that is forecast for Stockholm is however likely to cause some decline in the region's overall resource efficiency. While considerable efforts have been made to promote environmental sustainability in the region, the continuation of current planning strategies in the face of significant growth is forecast to entail a 155km2 expansion of the urban fabric between now and 2050.
The true scale of this expansion is evident in the number of residents, approximately 460 000, who would live in these new areas. Conversely, an even greater focus on resource-aware development, specifically through increased, though realistic, densities concentrated along existing public transport corridors and around the inner city could have less of an impact on the region's resource consumption.
In this scenario, the urban fabric would only expand by 65km2, providing homes for just under 250 000 people. Planning bodies in Stockholm have adopted fairly ambitious strategies for environmental sustainability; however as one of the fastest growing cities in Europe, even greater efforts will be required if Stockholm is to maintain its position as one of the greenest cities on the continent.
The SUME and BASE - Stockholm as an example
The maps at pp 20-21 show the level of densification in the Stockholm Urban Metabolic Zone (UMZ) for 2050 under two scenarios. The BASE scenario, on page 20, projects a continuation of current development trends, while the SUME scenario, on page 21, emphasises a more resource aware planning approach. Comparatively lower densities in the BASE scenario are foreseen as leading to greater sprawl, as shown by the increased number of orange "X's" beyond the existing UMZ boundary. Conversely, a concentration of development along transport corridors and regional growth hubs creates higher densities in the SUME scenario, and therefore reduced sprawl. This is illustrated by the increased presence of orange areas within the UMZ and the fewer number of "X's" outside the UMZ boundary.

When Your Legs feel like Jelly
Hey Everyone!
It’s been a while since I have gone for a hike, so yesterday (Tuesday) I went for a short (somewhere in the ball park of 2 – 3 miles) hike at Silver Falls State Park.
There are several things I learned yesterday:
1. Start off with an easier hike when so out of shape
2. Pick a less popular spot in the summer, the tourists will stop right in front of you on a narrow path to take a picture and slow you down
3. Don’t go hiking on such a warm day (or go in the morning if I am visiting someplace with a warm to hot climate)
4. If I ever have kids, take them hiking from the time they are still being worn in a mobywrap type wrap (or at least a backpack carrier) so they will learn to love it from a young age and have fewer meltdowns on the trail.
5. Invest in a better pair of hiking boots
6. Finish knitting up my boot socks, as Hanes socks don’t stop blisters.
7. Wear as lightweight clothing as possible this time of year. Jeans are just too hot.
I do have to say that when I got away from where the bulk of the crowds were congregated, it was fairly quiet of human sounds, and the air smelled like being in the woods (which I was), and a bit like being at summer camp. The birds were chirping and you could hear the sounds of the creek flowing by as well as the sound of water going over the falls.
I feel like I may have gotten a little sun kissed, but not too bad. I thought about putting on sun block, then reminded myself that I could use the vitamin D. We don’t get enough of it this far north, especially for those like me, who prefer to hide out indoors when it is sunny and warm. I know sunburns aren’t good for your skin either, it doesn’t look like I really got burned, my arms just feel a little warm.
I could totally tell that my muscles aren’t used to hiking anymore, and that I will likely be sore in the morning. By part way through my legs were feeling like jelly.
Note to self: I need to go for more walks and easy hikes, before I really try tackling more of the moderate to difficult hikes and work up to them. That, ultimately is my goal, to be able to go on longer and more strenuous hikes. I want to have the stamina and endurance to be able to do the whole 8.7 mile trail of ten falls loop hike at Silver Falls State Park, and be able to do it easily in a few hours. It is a “moderate” difficulty hike with an elevation gain of 1,300 feet. That is my first “big hike” goal, from there I would love to consider doing other tougher hikes.
Oregon has so many hidden and not so hidden gems to be explored, that I could be kept busy for a while exploring what is in my own home state.

Is it Worth Considering Two-factor Authentication For Your E-Commerce Website?
Like Tweet Pin it Share Share Email
The standard username and password combo has been around since the dawn of the internet, and is one that is becoming progressively easier to crack – especially since the number of websites that require passwords to access has grown exponentially and we have a tendency to reuse the same password on all of them (I myself used to be guilty of this until I got burned by a hacker.)
As we become more tech-savvy and more aware of the risks that come from data breaches, extra security measures like two or even three-factor authentication are becoming more popular. But is this just something for banks and payment platforms to worry about, or do e-commerce platforms need to take note?
To come to a conclusion, we should first understand what two-factor authentication really is.
What is two-factor authentication?
Why is it important?
How does 2FA impact e-commerce brands?
Although plenty of social media, email and financial platforms have started adopting multi-factor authentication, e-commerce brands are often far more hesitant to make the switch. While it’s a great way to better protect your customers’ data, it also creates an additional barrier to purchase. By making the sign-in or checkout process more complex, you could end up harming your conversion rate.
But while dual-verification isn’t necessarily essential for the front-end of your site, it’s an important thing to consider for internal use. If numerous employees across multiple locations have access to your e-commerce or financial platform, it’s essential to have a robust authentication process in place to keep both your customers’ and your company’s data safe.
However, enabling 2FA for your internal systems can cause some operational hiccups, so it’s important to have the right processes in place. Setting up two-step verification is much easier if everyone in the team has their own account on your various platforms – but this can get extremely expensive, as platforms often have a limit on how many staff accounts you can have.
How does it affect your integration?
Another thing to consider before setting up two-factor authentication is how it’ll affect your company’s infrastructure. Some companies’ older IT ecosystems aren’t designed to factor two-step verification into the data flow, which can cause the integration to stop working altogether – resulting in issues with customer service, performance and fulfilment.
With an increasing amount of e-commerce and ERP systems requiring 2FA, our Deliver by Linkeo platform has been overhauled to support more complex verification processes.
The cost of not using 2FA
Although it might seem like more of a hassle, the cost of not using a secure verification process for your company’s systems can be a lot greater than the time spent putting it place. Think of the chaos and the reputation damage caused by the iCloud celebrity photo leaks, or when users of the dating site Ashley Madison were exposed online. Aside from irreparable damage to your brand, lost data is an expensive mistake to make.
Not sure how setting up 2FA will impact your integration? Get in touch with Linkeo Ltd. today – we’re more than happy to help.

1. TM NGRS G36KA2 turned into a Garand Thumb G36C, part list: - CA G36 Knight's Armament sight rail, chopped down - VFC G36 RAS for GBBR - VFC G36C FH - Manta Defence rail cover - Magpul AFG2 - WE IDZ stock - Mystery G36C grip with symbol marking over the S/E/F of the G36K - G36 PMAG A few 3D printed parts, as this is an AEG, there's a huge gap between the handguard and the body after the VFC rail was installed, so I had to print a piece and fill it with Milliput. A hole is also visible through the secondary bolt position for security the barrel,
2. KWA Vector with MK5 "handguard" and a small 3D printed top rail section for the TLR8 as seen on 9HoleReviews.
3. My pair of steel two-tone Glocks (Zev magwell has been turned silver digitally as I was deciding between black / silver, think I'm going with silver)
4. Indeed it can, I developed it on the Quest(1) kinda on purpose to make sure it's lightweight enough that the extra power of Quest 2 will make it most definitely work.
5. Christ, what an obnoxious video, almost as bad as the guns themselves.
6. GP30 adapter for @Skarclaw 's 10" BCM M4, but can't help but install it on mine while testing things out. (note gap between grip is wider on mine than his due to different handguard and spacing between receiver and first keymod position) If only I owned a Perst laser.
7. When / if you get one please look into APS feasibility..!
8. TM NGRS, work in progress, had to print a really thick adapter plate for it to work. Will chop down the front at some point too.
9. I buy the units directly from Volante in Korea, he ships worldwide. The G34 (black) hasn't had many rounds through so it wouldn't be a meaningful indication, however, the TTI style one as seen in the video has had many more, close to a thousand if not more given it's the go-to for the IPSC style shooting I do until recently, this slide made by Trigger Happy has slightly different fitting to normal Guarder slide so I suspect the barrel / slide contact is not the same as the Guarder ones, the TiN coating has worn / chipped at the corner where they meet, but otherwise it's held up well, there's z
10. I own a steel G23, G26, G17 and G34 with two slides (TTI style and Guarder G34 as per that picture), they all have Volante unit installed. I only have a video of the G34 with TTI steel slide at hand, but it should answer your question.
11. Very much so, to a point where I use them at an IPSC airsoft club often and do fine alongside people using short stroked hi-capas, basically I don't feel like I'll ever be bottlenecked by the guns despite having steel slides.
12. TM x Guarder, steel slide gen 3 Glock34 with Volante BBU, and a hacky but functional 3D printed mounting solution for the SRO, 1.6mm below the top surface of the slide similar to the MOS range. Slide milled by @PureSilver
13. Like this..? This is the VFC x ALC steel slide version, but using Shield SMS instead of RMS or SMS2.0, but same mounting footprint. Had to copy ALC's RMR plate and get my own plate CNC'd as there's no aftermarket options 😕 FWIW though the SMS / RMS aren't actually co-witness so to speak, but more similar to 1/3 you'd find on rifle optics.

Video Review: HK-93 (By FPSRussia)
Is it me or has Kyle slipped out of ironic self-parody into something roughly akin to real gun reviews? Gunblast without the beard, with a slow motion camera and some cheap targets. I thought the whole point of the FPS schtick was that the faux Russian wasn’t your average YouTube gun guy. That he was “reviewing” guns purely in terms of their ability to create ballistic mayhem. The destruction and explosions were the point of the exercise – not whether or not the guns were well-made or reliable. In Russia well-made gun shoots you. Like that. The fact that Kyle pulls a Wizard of Oz on the burning car in the background tells me he’s lost his lust for life. Hey FPS. Screw Twitter. Hit me up at [email protected] to produce your Elvis Comeback Special. I love you, bro.
1. avatar PGT says:
Maybe the visit from BATFE about exploding targets and the (still unsolved) murder of his associate dampened his antics. That’d do it for me, too.
1. avatar Simon says:
He doesn’t have an Explosives License, which is why he’s not using them anymore. While Tannerite is legal, using it for business (YouTube Video Monetization) isn’t without a license, which is what he got nailed on.
I’m guessing due to his extremely unsafe antics before his hiatus, he won’t be getting one anytime soon.

dugan ashley already review this gun like 2 months ago.

After his hiatus, he should have reinvented himself as FPSChina and started fresh.

Mojo. Gone.
5. avatar Steve Truffer says:
I think he’s still playing catchup. he promised gun reviews prior to resuming the mayhem, and then had camera crew problems. give him a bit.
6. avatar Frank Masotti says:
I’ve never really been impressed with him or his video’s. And this one is no let down.
7. avatar ropingdown says:
There wasn’t much gun review from a technical point of view. He’s even having trouble doing the fake accent well. I don’t understand what people liked about the old FPS. I really don’t understand what’s to like with the current version.
8. avatar John S. says:
I watched his videos because they were fun. Sometimes you learned something; but I am under 30 and the prospect of shooting “Zombie Beeches” or “Zombie Terrorist Dudes” still makes me laugh a little bit.
This more serious review style…I dunno; you have a million people doing those. Hicock45, Armory Channel, TNP , MAC to name a few.
Where else can I go to watch this guy take a tank through a McDonalds drive through?

John S.: I do get this, and blame no one for enjoying it. Don’t mind my jadedness. I still enjoy the Palmetto guys doing their spoofs, so I do have a fun side. I’ve just become jaded with the “cool” aspect of blowing stuff up. Age, probably.
I wonder, and invite critiques: Do recent veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan still enjoy things blowing up, the sort of “watch this guys, I’m going full auto, shooting up tv’s” stuff? Do they care about alternate “out there” theories of how things happened in the past, when the reality of ever-present battlefields and dictatorships is so real? I’m focused this month on “people are no damned good.” Who cares about aliens. Laugh.

I saw a Century Arms clone at Cabelas a few weeks ago. It looked like a nice rifle condition and build wise. Who knows how it functioned?

He’s wearing earpro now, which was pretty much the biggest complaint people had about him before. So what’s the problem? Did I stumble into some weird alternate universe where a guy doing gun videos on youtube is automatically a bad thing?
1. avatar Kevin A. says:
It’s fun to hate things mindlessly.
15. avatar g says:
I still enjoy it… so he mentioned the next video is going to feature a giant wall of ice being destroyed by a belt-fed MG?
Hate him all ya want, but personally, I wouldn’t mind the chance for some full-auto fun… as long as someone else is footing the ammo bill. 😉
16. Well, I enjoyed it and I’m not going to diss on the guy for shooting stuff and recording it in slow motion. Better this than another stupid rant from James “I’m going to start shooting people” Yeager.
17. avatar Anonymous says:
I didn’t see any backstops behind those water bottles. Hopefully all those bullets were stopped by those trees and there were no houses back there.
1. Actually there is a huge preschool full of children back there.
1. avatar Anonymous says:
Its ok. I love you Paul.
18. avatar Icky Thump says:
The reason I like it is that he gets to shoot nice weapons that I do not easily have access to. Targets, TVs, Soda bottles it doesn’t matter as it is always fun to watch a firearm in capable hands work its magic.
1. avatar Second Amendment says:
Exactly. He’s YouTube entertainment. And it’s good (and, hey, free for us) light amusement. I enjoy the guy. It does seem that he’s a lot more subdued these days, though.
I also think there are a lot of jealous folks out there (*cough* certain TTAGers *cough*) because FPS seems to have an endless supply of full-autos, ammo, suppressors, and fun.
19. avatar TheBear says:
He doesn’t look like he’s having fun anymore.
20. avatar Sammy says:
Would have been cool if they were all plugged in and working as the were liquidated.
21. avatar mrpiggy fingers says:
I feel sorry for Kyle.He used to have the most fun job in the world.After all that has happened not so much anymore. Good luck to him anyways.
22. avatar PeterK says:
I never really watched him “before”, but I actually really liked this video. (shrug)
23. avatar Soccerchainsaw says:
Dylan was booed when he plugged in an electric guitar.
People evolve man, don’t deny him the chance to try new ways…

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a machine on my private network.
I have bind9 installed (v9.8.1-P1) via aptitude, so it appears to have put all the bits in the right places and the service starts automatically. I plan on adding some zones later, but first I'm just trying to get it working as a caching resolver. I installed bind, configured it, and starting using it. Initially I thought it was working ok, but then I found some sites weren't being resolved. I've pinned it down to being linked to the size of the result and bind failing-over to TCP mode.
So: I'm trying to find out why bind is failing when I query for domain info and the result is >512 bytes (causing a truncation and retry on TCP). Specifically it fails with ID mismatches if I point dig at localhost, but works when I query the machine's own IP ( This appears to be backwards to the problem that most people have when using bind (fails on external ip, works on localhost).
If I do dig @localhost google.com (which has a response of <512 bytes) then it works; I get no warnings, and plenty of output.
$ dig @localhost google.com
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> @localhost google.com
[snip lots of output]
;; Query time: 39 msec
;; WHEN: Thu Oct 17 23:08:34 2013
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 495
If I do dig @localhost play.google.com (which has a larger response) then I get back something like:
$ dig @localhost play.google.com
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
;; ERROR: ID mismatch: expected ID 3696, got 27130
This seems to be standard, documented behaviour - when the UDP response is large (here 'large' == 512 bytes) it falls back to TCP. The ID mismatch is not expected though.
If I do dig @ play.google.com then I still get the warning about using TCP mode, but it otherwise works
$ dig @ play.google.com
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> @ play.google.com
[snip most of the output]
;; Query time: 5 msec
;; WHEN: Thu Oct 17 23:05:55 2013
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 521
At the moment I've not set up any zones in my local instance, so it's just acting as a caching resolver. My options config is pretty much unchanged from standard, I've got the following set:
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
allow-query { 192.168/16;; };
forwarders {;; };
dnssec-validation auto;
edns-udp-size 4096 ;
allow-transfer { any; };
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
And my /etc/resolv.conf is just
search .local
The problem definitely seems linked to the failover to TCP mode: if I do dig +bufsize=4096 @localhost play.google.com then it works; no warning about failover to TCP, no ID mismatch, and a standard looking result. To be honest, if there was a way to force bind to use a much larger UDP buffer, that'd probably be good enough for me, but all I've been able to find mention of is max-udp-size 4096 and that doesn't change the behaviour in any way.
I've also tried setting edns-udp-size 512 in case the problem is some weird EDNS issue with my router (which seems unlikely since the +bufsize=4096 flag works fine).
I've also tried dig +trace @localhost play.google.com; this works. No truncation/TCP warning, and a full result.
I've also tried changing the servers used in the forwarder (e.g. to OpenDNS), but that makes no difference.
There's one last data point: if I repetitively do dig @localhost play.google.com I don't always get an ID mismatch, but sometimes a REFUSED error. I'm much more likely to get a REFUSED error if I dig the non-localhost IP ( first:
$ dig @localhost play.google.com
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> @localhost play.google.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;play.google.com. IN A
;; Query time: 4 msec
;; WHEN: Thu Oct 17 23:20:13 2013
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 33
Any insights or things to try would be much appreciated.

netstat -tulpn | grep 53 shows
tcp 0 0* LISTEN 9613/named
tcp 0 0 * LISTEN 1161/dnsmasq
i.e. I somehow have two processes listening on port 53 (the DNS server port). named (aka bind) and dnsmasq. I assume this is the cause of the id mismatch - they're both sending requests and receiving each other's ID.
Turns out that dnsmasq is launched by default as part of the service network-manager. To fix this:
1. edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
2. comment out the line dns=dnsmasq
3. do sudo restart network-manager (this will stop the dnsmasq service)
4. do sudo service bind9 restart (this will relaunch bind9 and cause it to fully own requests coming in on port 53)
5. done

It's worth noting that I still had problems with the TCP truncation, and have since switched to using unbound as it appears to be a more reliable validating caching resolver, and has a neat bit of functionality to redirect certain domains to a local ip, which is all I wanted in the first place. – argibbs Oct 21 '13 at 13:16

anhinga male vs female
The female constructs the nest by weaving sticks together and padding it with live twigs and green leaves. Both are pretty. Female Anhinga portrait (Anhinga anhinga) at Anhinga Trail, Everglades, Everglades National Park, USA. The copulation occurs on the nest. They come up to handle and swallow fish. Cormorants generally nest in large colonies. [23] The anhingas bring their capture to the surface of the water, toss it backwards and engulf it head-first. A. a. anhinga can be found mainly east of the Andes in South America and also the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. [8][9][10] The bill is relatively long[5] (about twice the length of the head[11]), sharply pointed[7] and yellow like their webbed[9] feet. [11] The upper back of the body and wings is spotted or streaked with white. Their feathers get soaked upon immersion in water. [3] They weigh on average around 1.22 kg (2.7 lb), with a range of 1.04–1.35 kg (2.3–3.0 lb). In the water, not so much. ( Log Out / [3] A fossil species Anhinga walterbolesi has been described from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene of Australia. Their dense bones, wetted plumage and neutral buoyancy in water, allows them to fully submerge and search for underwater prey.[19]. They face away from the sun to dry their feathers. [22], The anhinga is protected in the US under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. The female Anhinga looks quite different with her tan head & neck, a black belly, and darker brown feathers on its back. Beautiful bird and excellent photographs, Donna! Change ). Beautiful feathers regardless of age or sex. Male and female share the work from nest building to chick feeding. A. a. leucogaster can be found in the southern United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Grenada. [20] Anhingas lose body heat relatively fast and their posture helps them absorb solar radiation from the sun to balance the high rates of heat loss. The anhinga is placed in the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to Indian (Anhinga melanogaster), African (Anhinga rufa), and Australian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) darters. [13], The female anhinga is similar to the male except that it has a pale gray-buff[14] or light brown[15] head, neck, and upper chest. ( Log Out / [8] If the fish is too large to forage, the anhinga stabs it repeatedly and then lets it go. . Anhinga - male (left) & female Venice Rookery, Florida . A beautiful specimen Donna in his breeding plumage. Beautiful. [16], The hatchling starts out bald but gains tan down within a few days of hatching. . Nice photos Donna. Amazing photos, Donna. Do not hesitate to visit my universe. What a beautiful bird! So beautiful bird and so different from Finnish birds. The bill, legs, and feet are yellowish orange. Displaying pair . Males have greenish-black plumage overall, accentuated by silver-gray feathers on the upper back and wings that are edged with long white plumes. 143,209 visits. They do not have external nares (nostrils) and breathe solely through their epiglottis. The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work is illegal. I thought he looked punk too! Prior to copulation, both produce several explosive notes. What may sound like the Loch Ness monster is actually an Anhinga, swimming underwater and stabbing fish with its daggerlike bill. Within two weeks the tan down is replaced by white down. Your photos really highlight their beautiful feathers! Females and immatures have a pale tan head, neck, and breast. The bill is relatively long (about twice the length of the head ), sharply pointed and yellow like their webbed feet. See you soon . ( Log Out / The A. a. anhinga subspecies is larger than A. a. leucogaster and has "broader buffy tail lips". The circular platform nest may measure 2 feet (0.6 meters) or more on the outside. The male anhinga reminds me of a shaman. If it attempts to fly while its wings are wet, the anhinga has difficulty, flapping vigorously while "running" on the water. Anhinga species are found all over the world in warm shallow waters. Juveniles are mostly brown until they first breed usually after the second or third winter. . They do display their feathers beautifully when drying. The A. anhinga species is a large bird and measures approximately 89 cm (35 in) in length, with a range of 75–95 cm (30–37 in), and a 1.14 m (3.7 ft) wingspan. Displaying pair . After every dip, it strikes a regal pose on the edges of shallow lakes and ponds, with its silvery wings outstretched and head held high to dry its waterlogged feathers. They also have black crests. female. The male brings material to the female. Especially when they are fishing! Long-necked “snake bird” found in wooded swamps, marshes, and ponds. Like cormorants, the anhinga stands with wings spread and feathers fanned open in a semicircular shape to dry its feathers and absorb heat. . Kettles of anhingas often migrate with other birds and have been described as resembling black paper gliders.[6]. It’s amazing when you get such a great look at the subtleties of the feather patterns. The male anhinga courts the female by flying and gliding overhead. It’s so wonderful we can share our birds while seeing others from around the world to compare!! Beautiful shots, Donna! A female Anhinga Female Anhinga perched on a branch. Anhinga. During the act, the male may take a stick or the female’s bill in its own beak. © Peter Kaestner | Macaulay Library They each have their own striking feathers and are quite beautiful when displaying them. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. [24] The number of individual anhingas has not been estimated but they are considered to be of least concern because of the frequency of their occurrence in their 15,000,000 km2 (5,800,000 sq mi) global range.

adventurous eating
We had the chance to be wildly adventurous recently when I found a batch of bright pink DRAGONFRUIT. I mean, seriously, naming a fruit “dragonfruit” automatically skyrockets it into a sub-super-hero status…so cool.
So our planned after school snack of wicked-awesome-dragon-fruit is planned and the kids are all fired up about it. As a mom, I’m secretly thinking, “Bwahaha…my kids are fired up about fruit…yes!!” as they enter the house shrieking in excitement and joking that they’re going to eat a dragon!!
Opening it up, we are rewarded with the creamy white flesh and what appears to be star constellations formed inside. Totally amazing. I’ve got visions of bringing in dragon fruits for Austin’s class to let the kids try…
A tentative taste…
A bolder mouthful…
Followed immediately by questioning looks to me…looks that said, “Uh, what happened to our fruit? It tastes of unflavored grits with the texture of very ripe kiwi.” I returned the questioning look too as it took me by surprise as well. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it certainly involved something that one could describe as “a flavor.” Apparently in my research, I had found out how to eat the fruit but not that the fruit would not actually taste like anything.
I’m not knocking the dragon fruit. It scores big points in looking awesome. It is like looking at a tall glass of pink lemonade only to find out it’s just water with a few drops of food coloring in it. We’ll call the flavor “anticlimactic.”
So we moved on to oranges, and left the dragon fruit to supply fiber and vitamin C to our morning smoothie…which it did, as well as leaving it sufficiently devoid of flavor in spite of the banana and mango that no one drank much of the shake either…lol.
Well, that’s what an adventure is all about, isn’t it?!
5 responses to “adventurous eating
1. Sometimes getting kids to eat is all about the ‘spin.’ In this case, call it a dragon and they’re pumped!
Did I ever tell you about the magical food my mother made your mother, uncles, and aunts? Let me tell you it was special.
Normally, it would appear on a menu as white rice, creamed dried beef, and green beans–none of which are favorites by any measure. But to her kids, they were “Mountain Climbers.” It conjures an adventure of the highest order (pun intended). Fantasy about back packs laden with high energy foods, wearing special cold gear, ice boots, ice picks, and belay ropes. A pile of rice with a properly formed scoop of white rice (using an ice cream scooper) in the middle of the plate forms the mountain. Pour the cream sauce over the mountain to form the drifts of snow and clumps of exposed and jagged rock. The climber “people” were the green beans stuffed into the rice like candles on a cup cake. Starting at the top, a single file of climbers were stuffed around the rice like a spiral.
Proper form demanded that the most aggressive climber be eaten first (the one at the pinnacle). One by one the climbers would be scooped up in a spoon and pushed into the abyss (your mouth).
Any other day, served any other way, would result in whining and grunts of displeasure. “Rice and green beans again?” When piled separately on the plate, it was green beans and rice with creamed dried beef. Yuk! But MOUNTAINCLIMBERS elicited excitement! Mom’s query: “What should we have for dinner?” would result in a unanimous chorus of “Mountainclimbers!”
Mothers are so sneaky!
2. Anonymous in this case is your Uncle Ford…
3. Nice going, Bee! Life is all about how you handle Plan B!
4. Major bummer on the Dragonfruit tasting like poo!!
5. And BTW I’m loving the new format of the blog (more white, less color)… pretty cool Gweeg.

You couldn't leave it there to die, so you took it home and took care of it until it healed. But after healing, you got so attached to it, that you kept the frog as a pet. Now the frog is your best friend and you do whatever it takes to take care of it. Today you went in a strange place to catch some flies for your frog. But it seems that you have been trapped in this place. You should find a way to escape. Good luck!

The History and Development of Ecological Architecture
Many people see ecological architecture as a brand-new concept, but it has actually been around for a very long time. Whenever humans built up urban areas, they were aware of the changes they were making to the natural environment. Ecological architecture is about preserving and complementing the natural elements within an urban setting, whether that’s a green wall on a single building or integrating green spaces as a city is planned. Ecological architecture is a type of urban greening , which is about creating green spaces that promote symbiosis between urban and natural environments. As cities around the world become larger, ecological architecture has grown to promote that symbiosis in new, creative, aesthetically pleasing ways. It has also grown in popularity as we have become more aware of climate change, and search for means of combatting its effects.
Eco-architecture as we know it has been around since the 1960s, and is constantly evolving to accommodate the new ways in which we build. We are at a fascinating point in the timeline of ecological architecture, and watching this system grow and adapt will provide infinite possibilities to our cities’ skylines.
The history of ecological architecture
Ecological architecture has existed for thousands of years. A famous example is Angkor Wat , a Cambodian temple complex built in the 12th century AD that still stands today.
Angkor Wat uses a complex irrigation system and hydraulic engine to power many aspects of the complex, including reserving water for drier months, watering crops, and heating and cooling areas as needed. Angkor Wat also uses locally-sourced natural materials throughout its structure, meaning that its carbon footprint is lower than a structure where the materials would have been transported to the site from around the globe.
These transport emissions are a huge source of carbon emissions within the building industry; looking back at the practices used in Angkor Wat could help us to improve our own practices 900 years later.
Ecological architecture as we know it today developed from the wave of environmental advocacy that gained popularity in the United States in the 1960s. This movement combined a number of factors such as a reverence of the Native American way of living with nature, and an opposition to the urban sprawl and suburbs that were quickly growing across the US.
These environmental activists experimented with living structures and how their way of living interacted with the local ecosystem. In 1969, Ian McHarg, a landscape architect, published “Design With Nature”; a book about ecological architecture that promoted the ideas that had been explored over the past decade. From that point, ecological architecture has continued to advance, both technologically and in popularity. The 21st century saw a boom in green architecture, as the importance of green space in the urban environment became clearer.
Eco-architecture in the 21st century
Contemporary ecological architecture aims to combat the prevalent architecture style that is damaging the earth. According to The Encyclopaedia Britannica, the building of shelter consumed more than half of the world’s resources in the early 21st century. This includes: - 16% of the freshwater resources - 30-40% of all energy supplies - 50% of all raw materials withdrawn from the Earth’s surface (by weight) - 40-50% of waste deposits in landfills - 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions.
The relationship between environment and architecture is currently at an all-time low, and contemporary ecological architecture is battling that. 21st century eco-architecture uses design and urban ecologies to create buildings that work with the environment, rather than against it.
The pillars of this style are the reuse of materials, using alternative energy sources, energy conservation, and careful siting. Implementing all of these structures when designing and building results in eco-friendly, sustainable architecture.
What happens next?
Two of the most prevalent reasons for the growth of eco-architecture are environmental and aesthetic. Every year, more is understood about the effects of climate change and many people are turning to eco-architecture to combat the damage that has already been done, as well as minimise the damage of future construction. Cities around the world are using the City Biodiversity Index to measure the strength of its biodiversity using factors such as native biodiversity in the city, ecosystem services, and governance and management of biodiversity.
Cities use the CBI to conduct measurements annually and use this information to determine how they can improve their local ecosystems. When a city receives a low score on the CBI, ecological architecture is often one of the first measures put in place by city planners. Living walls and green roofs can be added to extant buildings to improve the carbon footprint of the area, and ecological architecture practices can be used when constructing new buildings. Combining these practices helps us to create a greener, environmentally safer world.
As the contemporary ecological architecture movement began, so did an architectural movement that opposed it in every way. From the 1960s onward, there has been a huge increase in concrete buildings with construction consuming large amounts of water and fossil fuels. Styles like brutalist and modernist architecture are no longer as popular as they were between the 1960s and 1980s, and green features allow their harsh styles to be covered and transformed.
Design and urban ecologies are always changing, but ecological architecture brings these two together, protecting and enhancing both. Ecological architecture has changed drastically since its beginnings with the first cities, and even since its contemporary beginnings in the 1960s.
The relationship between environment and architecture is now being tested by expanding cities and increasing threats of climate change. Mainstream architecture in the 21st century is damaging the Earth to such a degree that contemporary ecological architecture is now invaluable as an alternative. Luckily, cities around the world are embracing ecological architecture, both through their city planning guidelines and implementing features like living walls and green roofs.
The future of ecological architecture will hopefully include a further rise in popularity, as well as positive effects on urban ecosystems.

Google TV Getting the Performance Upgrades It Has Needed
Chromecast With Google TV Review
Google detailed this morning that performance and storage optimization updates are headed to the Google TV platform, resulting in what should be a big time improvement for users as a whole.
On the performance side, Google is optimizing CPU usage and is making improvements to cache management that will reduce load times at startup for all devices running the platform. Not only that, but navigating the UI and switching tabs will become more responsive, plus a faster Live tab means less time looking at a loading animation. Google TV should feel like a much improved experience following these changes, once it hits everyone’s systems.
For storage, Google has created a new “Free up storage” button for users, allowing you to quickly removed unneeded cache and apps to make way for fresh stuff to download. The company also says that under-the-hood changes will make for less storage-related errors when trying to install new apps. As a cherry on top, Google states that it has implemented an automated process that runs in the background and frees up space on your device so that you can install more apps.
Google didn’t provide a specific release date for anything, but know that all of these features should make their way to your device soon, so long as it’s running Google TV.

The Lyre of Peredelkino
We did the tour belatedly—
a century or so late—
stalking the gifted great
who inhabited this rivage
as if it were their private stage,
the wealthy, worldly masters
of the universe and art and real estate
whose leisured pulse becomes as sinister as glorious Chillon:
here, in this vast citadel that looms like a mirage
across a lake of ice-blue glass,
women were hung, Jews broken and burned,
thousands of captives held and destroyed.
We know palaces of hate they never dreamt of,
hangars and stadiums and camps where death became a science,
yet here we are with our maps, eager as shoppers,
buzzing through the medieval towers with phones and apps and guides.
What happened here?
The rich had baths, ate lamb, enjoyed the precursor of fondue.
Prisoners were dropped down a long chute
onto a bed of knives.
Only Bonivard survived, his chains burnished by fame.
Why was he held? Who perished? Why? We’re
spellbound by the names—Rousseau, Hugo, Byron and James—
as if mere autographs could somehow justify
the weight of our attention.
Casting our own disappeared into oblivion,
we have time to admire the décor
of a dungeon, to stop on our way out
for a few souvenirs that say
we too were here:
we loved the view.

Cleaning Up Your Credit
Credit Reports & Scores
Cleaning Up Your Credit
Five ways to boost your score and get the best rates.
If you haven't already done so, start by taking a look at your credit report. Log on to and get a free copy from each of the three credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. (Note: Copycat sites often require you to purchase other services in order to get a "free" credit report.)
While you're on a bureau's Web site, you'll also have the option of buying your credit score for $6 to $8. If you've already used your once-a-year free pass on, go to to download your reports and scores ($15.95 for the score from one credit bureau, or $47.85 for all three).
Go through your report with a fine-tooth comb and file a dispute immediately with each bureau that reports an error. The process isn't lightning-fast (you typically have to wait 30 to 45 days for the bureau to investigate any disputes you submit), but be persistent until the problems have been resolved. Big issues, such as an incorrect notation that an account has gone to collection or a home is in foreclosure, could cost you 100 points or more on your credit score.
Gerri Detweiler, credit adviser for, says it's also important to check the dates on any negative information that's being reported. Negative items, such as collections accounts, may generally be reported for seven years from when you first fell behind. Two exceptions are bankruptcies, which may be reported for ten years, and tax liens, which may stay on your record indefinitely until you pay them.
And don't apply for new credit cards you don't need. That 10% discount a retailer offers when you sign up for its card isn't worth it. When you apply for new credit, an inquiry is made on your credit report. Each inquiry is a tiny ding, but enough dings can add up to a dent, especially if your credit history is short. Craig Watts, of Fair Isaac, says that your best bet is to take on new credit only when you need it.
Pay your bill in full each month if you can. If you can't, pay at least the minimum, and make your payments on time. Late payments lower your credit score and may automatically trigger a higher rate. And if other lenders see that, they may raise your rate, too. That could result in more late payments in the future-and thus set off a vicious cycle of credit-card debt.

1. Nov 19, 2012
Another fantastic entry in its series, and easily one of the best 3DS releases of the year. The game retains the charm and wit of previous Paper Mario titles, and its new sticker mechanic makes combat even more engaging than before.
2. Dec 7, 2012
Paper Mario debuts in Nintendo 3DS with a very original game, which changes its traditional gameplay adding stickers to the RPG system. The result is a game as funny and humorous as in past titles, but more innovative.
3. Feb 7, 2013
Unfortunately for it, Paper Mario: Sticker Star has to deal with being a “pretty good” entry in a series that is usually considered amongst the best games on their respective consoles. While I did have fun with it, there were times when I felt like I was just going through the motions, and very little of the innovation or character of previous entries shone through.
4. 40
A horrible disappointment that not only fails to capture the magic of its predecessors but seems oblivious to what made them popular in the first place.

1. The game was fun, beautifully designed and the RPG element is a kicker. I've never played the previous paper mario series so really I've got no complaint about "changes" and "improvement". I bought the game expecting a great Mario experience and I definitely got my money's worth. Two little things I wish were better: it could use more playable characters to enhance the RPG feel, and it probably could use a difficulty slider--the game was a tad too easy, despites the abundance of secrets and mysteries in it. Expand
2. This game was my least favorite in the paper mario series, it is extremely hard to finish without a game guide, it doesn't communicate with the player enough, the boss battles require specific hidden thing stickers that if the player doesn't find or use in battle, they will not be able to finish the boss fight, the availability of stickers is good though, and the levels (most of them) are nicely done and sometimes pretty fun, but i dont see a use to the run away button if its a 50/50 chance to actually run away from a battle, it should be 100% if you tap A repeatedly.
Final Score: 7.5, but there's no halfway scoring option T.T
3. 7
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't know what to say about this game. This game can hardly even be called an RPG. The only "RPG" about it is that you meet enemies and engage combat with them in a turn-based battle. You get no experience points and when you run away from battle, the enemy disappears on the map like you actually defeated it. There is also no real point to combat other than getting coins, but those are pretty much only spent on the overpowered Things that you need to get in order to make Thing Stickers that you sometimes have to apply to the real world using your annoying sticker fairy partner's "paperize" ability. Sure, maybe you will need to buy a few mushrooms here and there but you can actually get all of these things EVERYWHERE in every level. The battles against a wave of enemies can get extremely annoying because you can't actually choose which enemy you are attacking: you will always attack the first one in the row. You need to use the Battle Spinner in order to attack enemies in the second row too, and it's extremely annoying. Bosses are unbalanced and can pretty much only be defeated by Thing Stickers. Some of them have certain weaknesses but these are never stated unless you've died about three times for not knowing something that was never hinted to. At a certain point I started to avoid combat altogether because I didn't want to waste the stickers I actually needed and either traverse previous levels to get some stickers again or return to Decalburg a billion of times in order restock on stickers(This may seem like it condradicts my previous statement but please keep in mind that this is still not a good thing no matter how you look at it.) Puzzles in the real world never have any real hints either: at a certain point in the game you have to freeze lava by pasting a certain Thing in the background. This could be a handful of Things: Shaved Ice, AIr Conditioner, Fan, etc. So yeah, it turned out to be the Air Conditioner but I only discovered that after failing numerous times with the other things it could possibly have been. There's too much trial and error like this throughout the whole game. But even with all these horrifying flaws, the game can still be fun. I had fun with the game and blasted through it quickly, but only because I had(with GameXplain's advice) watched some playthroughs a few weeks before it was released in Europe. I also have to praise the graphics: they look amazing. It's like the entire game was handcrafted and handdrawn by some sort of amazing artist: I had a lot of fun just watching the environment alone, ESPECIALLY World 4 and 5. But even then the environment is nothing that you won't find in the countless New Super Mario Bros. games: it's exactly those kind of worlds. Anyways, short summary: they could have done WAY better on pretty much everything in this game, but regardless of that it's still pretty fun and I reccommend it if you liked the previous Paper Mario games.

4. This was the worst showing for Paper Mario since release. Nintendo has removed all of the RPG, all the humour and all of the more interesting settings. Besides that, progression in the game itself is slow, with countless save/load screens and arbitrary nonsense and busywork designed to lengthen game-play in an otherwise unremarkable game. Expand

Bill Gates: capitalism means male baldness research gets more funding than malaria
14 Mar 2013
Capitalism means that there is much more research into male baldness than there is into diseases such as malaria, which mostly affect poor people, said Bill Gates, speaking at the Royal Academy of Engineering's Global Grand Challenges Summit. "Our priorities are tilted by marketplace imperatives," he said. "The malaria vaccine in humanist terms is the biggest need. But it gets virtually no funding. But if you are working on male baldness or other things you get an order of magnitude more research funding because of the voice in the marketplace than something like malaria."
As a result, governments and philanthropic organisations have to step in to offset this "flaw in the pure capitalistic approach". The Gates Foundation focuses on finding under invested areas of basic science and focusing an innovation agenda on the needs of the poor, specifically looking at education and health.

<img src="" alt="Volcano" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/>
Gates identified a number of key challenges that he called "daunting". The first was feeding the world when we have a population of 10 billion. He argued that tools of the "genetic revolution" could equally apply to understanding seeds and key crops in the world to help understand how to grow more food.
A bigger challenge affecting the poorest in the world is infectious disease. "For helping out the poorest we still need very simple things -- keeping vaccines refrigerated. But where there's no electricity, delivering diesel or propane is hard, we have tens of thousands of children who die because the vaccine supply chain doesn't have these tools," Gates said. "We still have a lot of deaths that really shouldn't take place."
He hopes to see the mortality of children under the age of five to reduce from seven million per year to below three million by 2030. That's from a massive 20 million in the 1960s, where children were dying of small pox, diarrhoea, measles, malaria and pneumonia.
Gates felt that the medical engineering community could focus its attention on depot treatments (where slow-release drugs are injected into the skin to deliver treatment over a long time period). "Why is it so much harder to get medicine used in the developing world versus the rich world? Because people have to go back and visit again and again. But if you could give TB medicine or birth control that would leak over 60 days, that would make a huge difference."
Another key area where engineers can help is keeping vaccines cold. "Engineers are going to invent a magic thermos that leaks heat so little we don't need a power source. Or some laser shooting device that can kill mosquitos. In almost every disease there are things that go well beyond the bounds of biology."
Climate change is a major challenge and Gates argued that we need engineering innovation that gives us low cost power and emits no CO2. "Governments could be doing more to fund the basic research, but we need to solve it very quickly. We don't have the luxury of waiting."
When asked by an audience member whether it was possible to build a social company that is also profitable, Gates said: "There are a number of areas where you can build a product that has value in the rich world, for middle income countries and the poorest.
Ideally you create a business model that lets you get your margin from the rich countries and the middle income countries, or through tiering customers in developing countries."
He cited eye clinics in India that offer free lens replacement and other treatments to the poor but charges those who can afford it as a good example of a tiered system. However, he concluded that "it takes a lot of creativity to get the best of both worlds".
With regards to encouraging more students into STEM education, Gates said: "It's kind of surprising that we have such a deficit of people going into those fields. Look at where you can have the most interesting job that pays well and will have impact on society -- all three of those things line up to say science and engineering and yet in most rich countries we see decline. Asia is an exception."
He added that in the last few years in the US, computer science has seen enrolment go back to 1999 levels, but that the sciences broadly had big deficits as well as a lack of racial diversity and gender diversity. "We are failing to get women in. There must be something about how we teach the sciences that makes them not seem that attractive."

S Club Seeing Double Review
Image for S Club Seeing Double
S Club have to battle against clones of themselves.
Imagine not one S Club, but two. Music hell or lad mag heaven? Having been cloned by a dastardly celeb-obsessed villain (Pop Idol irony, perhaps?), the ever-chirpy Rachel, Hannah and pals are taken for tragic wannabes while their 'popbot' impersonators storm the world's stages.
Luckily they've got a few tricks up their collective S Club sleeve, and set about infiltrating the clones and proving their genuine pop star status. 'Seeing Double' is absolute nonsense of course and, in real terms, it's a terrible film.
However, it has all the crap jokes, upbeat sing-alongs and Gareth Gates cameos its target audience wants. Even if you're slightly older than primary school age, you could find there's some mindless fun to be had here (even though your intentions might be less than honourable).
This really is a load of old cobblers but it has all the right ingredients to appeal to its target audience. If you're a teenybopper, you'll love it, otherwise, avoid.

The Chalkboard: Emery must solve Iwobi problem before end of season
Unai Emery is not using Alex Iwobi properly.
The Arsenal winger endured a quiet game against Newcastle United on Monday evening as the Gunners won 2-0.
On the chalkboard
Iwobi is a versatile winger but was deployed almost as an attacking midfielder against the Magpies, alongside Mesut Ozil and behind striker Alexandre Lacazette.
The Nigeria international has mainly been deployed on the left wing this season and has scored five goals in all competitions, while laying on seven assists.
But he was wasted as an attacking midfielder on Monday evening in a game that the Gunners dominated.
Iwobi touched the ball a total of 57 times, per WhoScored, and attempted 49 total passes, of which 42 were successful.
He did not make a key pass, nor did he complete a dribble, despite attempting three.
Iwobi did take one accurate corner but was substituted just after the hour-mark, making way for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Quite simply, Emery’s system left Iwobi struggling on Monday.
A puzzle for Emery to solve
Where exactly should Iwobi play?
He does not really have the searing pace to make too much of an impact on the flank, but he was routinely crowded out in the centre.
Emery could choose to deploy the 22-year-old in a deeper-lying midfield role but he has played in central midfield just once for the club, in a 17-minute cameo against Southampton in 2017.
With Mesut Ozil seemingly returning to form and Henrikh Mkhitaryan back to full fitness, it is a difficult conundrum for Emery to find his way around.
As it is, it does not appear that Iwobi fits into the team at all.

Are there any memorization techniques that exist for math students?
I just watched this video on entitled:
Joshua Foer: Feats of memory anyone can do
The memory palace may help in remembering someone’s name, a sequence of numbers, or a random story, but are there any memorization techniques that can better aid those learning new math concepts?
Solutions Collecting From Web of "Are there any memorization techniques that exist for math students?"
Think of learning mathematics as being like learning, say, chess. Would you learn how to play chess by memorizing openings? Well, maybe that could work, but it’s probably a better idea to learn how to play chess by, y’know, playing a lot of chess.
While some of the comments above have some validity, I can see you just needing to memorize some quick formulas. I do agree practice makes perfect. But what many of the memorizers AND Joshua Foer said is yes, they are tricks but they FORCE you to memorize things. And Foer goes on to say that they aren’t even really tricks. They are actually harder to do that just doing it, because you’re kind of setting up a safety net in your mind, and it often involved preparatory work.
Anthony Metivier is another memory “guru” who.. I guess.. throws out all forms of memorization stuff EXCEPT the “memory palace” (google it if need be). Though, while he focuses only on memory palaces, other systems like the Major Memory System, (where you associate the phonetic alphabet with numbers) make guest appearances.
Major Memory Sytem
So, in Metivier’s mind, if you have this..
Major Memory Sytem
notice vowels and w, h, y are ignored can associate formulas with words like:
‘=’ becomes an image of something meaningful to you, he chooses to use a FLAG
A2 = yawN (again, since you’re ignoring the letters y, a, w, you can place them anywhere to make words)
‘+’ = this becomes another image of your choice- try using a cross, or hospital symbol
B2 = Maybe this is BuN, BaNe, etc.
Now, he went a slightly different (I believe more complicated) route. I simplified this for you if you’re new.
You now have images. You throw them into a story. And he would say “USE A MEMORY PALACE TOO!”
The idea would be you would walk through.. say.. your house and in your mind, you’re placing these items in your house, in order.
Read more on building memory palaces and rules for doing so.

Title: Through the Cracks - Epilogue
Author: jaina47
Written for: soniahugo
Archive: Only ralst has permission. Ask me if you want it.
Rating: PG- 13 maybe? No worse than the show.
Warnings/Spoilers: Through Hiatus I & II and if you really work for it maybe Shalom.
Genre: Gen
Pairings: None to speak of.
Word Count: 4,716
Disclaimer: I do not own anything and am not getting paid
Prompt: I'd like to read a story in which Ziva calls Gibbs up on the favor he owes her. I want it to follow canon and I really don't want any Gibbs/Ziva romance. Including the other characters (especially Tony) would be appreciated and I love stories with a bit of humor and banter in them
Author's Note: This story is very, very late from the general estimate that I gave Rinkleon when it would be done. For that I apologize very much to soniahugo. I do hope you enjoy this.
When Abby woke, the room was dimly lit and unfamiliar. She gasped and her hands clenched at the rough sheets that were pulled up over her chest.
Almost immediately, another hand covered hers. Abby jerked her attention away from the hand to identify whom it belonged to.
"It's okay, Abby," Gibbs said in a soothingly. "You're safe now. They took you to the Bethesda to treat you for shock and any other possible injuries." He talked softly, letting words spill out to give her a chance for her mind to catch up with the situation.
He was still all too familiar with that sensation of disorientation. She squeezed his hand once and then turned her head away from him.
"Ziva and Tony," she asked in a quiet voice.
"They're right outside."
Abby nodded once, but still wouldn't look at him. He could feel the hurt pouring off of her and knew it had less to do with Pearson than with him – with the way he had cut her off when she needed him the most.
Gibbs crouched down beside her bed and then tugged on her hand. Her eyes flicked towards him.
"I'm sorry."
"Gibbs…" Her fingers tightened in a painful grip on his hand. She knew what that admission meant to him.
"I should have been there. I never should have let him come near you." His voice trembled with barely suppressed fury.
She met his eyes without a hint of her usual playfulness. "You came for me anyway."
Gibbs looked just as serious. "I will always come for you."
Abby smiled, "And bring me Caf-Pow?"
It surprised a laugh out of Gibbs. He felt some of the anger and tension ease away from him, blown away by Abby's forgiveness and teasing. He pushed himself up from the crouching position he had been in and stifled a grunt as his knees and still partially injured body protested.
Abby grasped his hand tighter and he patted her hand reassuringly as he pulled a chair closer to her bed.
Abby relaxed and smiled. It was a weaker, more tired version of her usual smile, but it was still the same smile.
Gibbs sat in silence, holding her hand and carefully watching over her after she had fallen asleep. It was almost dawn before he slowly stood. Gently he took her hand and placed it over her heart. He slowly released it and pulled his own hand away.
Abby stirred in her sleep. "Gibbs," she murmured groggily.
Her hand flailed out blindly and caught a handful of his shirt.
"I have to go, Abby," he spoke quietly, leaning over her to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Stay," she pleaded, her eyes still closed and voice full of sleep.
"I can't," he repeated. There were some things that he could do, even for Abby.
Even in her half-asleep state, she seemed to deflate and abruptly, she let go of him and then rolled away from him. Gibbs took one last look at her and then straightened and turned away.
It was time for him to go.
"Good," Director Sheppard said firmly. "For once something ended well."
Ziva leaned back in the chair. Her boots had been discarded on the floor and her legs were drawn up in the chair.
"I don't wish to have to do something like that again anytime soon."
Jenny looked at Ziva closely for the first time since she had entered her office. "You know, Ziva, you should take a few days off. I know that Abby has been given some time off before she returns to work. I'm sure she'd appreciate the company."
Ziva seemed surprised by the suggestion, but seemed to actually consider it for a moment.
"No, I do not think so. She – I…this is not a good time for me to be absent. WE will have enough to do with Gibbs gone."
Jenny set back down behind her desk and pinned Ziva with a knowing gaze. "She has forgiven you, Ziva. You saved her life. Abby's not still angry with you."
Ziva didn't respond and Jenny sighed. Sometimes Ziva could be so stubborn.
"Tony will become the new Team Leader," Ziva asked a moment later.
"It will be temporary, at least for a short period of time, to give Jethro a chance to change his mind, but yes, he will." Jenny studied Ziva closely. "With Gibbs gone, will you request a transfer back to Israel?"
Ziva looked up slowly. She didn't seem surprised that Jenny had asked the question.
"No," she answered carefully, "His absence changes many things, but not this. My superiors still want me here."
Jenny quirked an eyebrow at her. "What about what you want?"
"I'm here for now." Ziva smiled faintly and Jenny pushed down the urge to laugh. It was as close to an admission that she was happy as she was likely to get and it was a typically infuriating Ziva answer at that.
She watched in silence as Ziva slowly straightened and slipped her boots back on. As Ziva stood to leave, Jenny called after her.
"Tell Agent DiNozzo to come in."
Ziva nodded as she opened the door to the outer office. She saw Tony waiting in one of the chairs.
"The Director is waiting for you."
Tony stood and tugged at his suit jacket before he started towards her. He stopped in front of Ziva and leaned in close to her.
"Are you going by the hospital? McGee is getting some sleep right now and I'm not sure when Gibbs will leave…"
None of them felt like taking any chances with Abby's safety. It was as much for their own reassurance as it was for her own sake.
"I'll stay with her today," she agreed. I would not want to miss it when she finds out that you're the new team leader."
She walked away with a smirk, leaving Tony staring after her.
"That woman…" he mumbled to himself. He shook his head as he walked into the Director's office.
He was certainly glad that she was one his side most of the time.
When Ziva exited NCIS it was still totally dark. By the time she had reached the hospital false dawn was beginning to show.
Ziva traced her way back to Abby's room; she and Tony had spent several hours there the previous evening before the Director had called them back to NCIS to be debriefed.
She paused in the middle of the hallway as she saw Gibbs carefully shutting the door of Abby's room behind him. She crossed her arms over her chest as she waited fro him to approach her and tugged her leather jacket further around her.
He looked into her eyes with unfamiliar intensity; this Gibbs was more raw than the Gibbs she knew.
"You and Tony did well."
"It took us two days to realize that she was missing." Ziva looked down, angry at the way that her voice had broken with emotion.
Gibbs reached out and put a hand gently on her shoulder. "You were there." She could hear the pain in his voice that matched her own. He squeezed her shoulder. "I'm," he coughed, "I'm proud of you." He let go; his hand dropping to his side. He nodded his head towards the room. "Take care of them." He smiled in that knowing Gibbs way. "And keep DiNozzo out of trouble."
"That's a difficult assignment…Boss."
Gibbs laughed. "You're up to it." Still half-laughing he turned away.
Ziva watched him walk down the hallway before she turned and moved towards Abby's room.
"Ziva." She turned back quickly. The humor was gone; Gibbs was completely serious. "This doesn't change things. I still owe you one."
Ziva felt her throat tighten at the mention of what lay between them. She forced herself to nod an acknowledgement and then gratefully slipped inside Abby's room. She quietly shut the door behind herself and then took a deep breath. She let it out slowly and when she had composed herself she walked over to stand beside Abby.
The small laceration on her forehead and the bruise on her cheek stood out vividly against her skin.
"Hey," Abby said groggily.
"Hi," Ziva replied quietly.
For a moment Abby struggled to fully open her eyes and focus.
Ziva smiled in bemusement. "Go to sleep," she commanded gently. "I'll stay." And watch over you, she added to herself as she sank into a chair.
It was what Gibbs would want.

I succumbed to straps
I finally succumbed to noodle straps. No, not the Mandira Bedi variety, but the ones that clothe our windows. The strap curtains, the kind you just buy off the shelf and hang up in a jiffy. No curtain rings, no visits to the tailor, no fuss. I always hated them, or maybe hated is too strong a word, I just didn't like them. I think one of the reasons was that they suddenly sprouted all over the place, in every shop and in every suburban flat. Reds, yellos, purples, India suddenly seemed to be in the grip of a colour riot. Plains, checks, textured finish, matching with bedspreads, cushions. Single people, bachelors, newly marrieds, they were all buying them en masse on Saturdays at malls and voila, their house, bought on a home loan, the EMIs paid by their salaries, was suddenly a home.
To me it meant no exclusivity. It was like a mass production line, and everyone had the same. Like tomato sauce or Maggi or sugar. Except, a home wasn't meant to be that, it was meant to be a reflection of your personality, a statement of your individuality, and each room and window was a chance to express your mood.
To me they spelt convenience, and a short cut. Somehow, I was always used to the regular, stitched curtains. You go to the shop, select the upholstery, measure your windows and then have the curtains stitched. Call it some sort of snobbery if you will but I think it has more to do with being house proud. With wanting to make that extra effort for your home, go that extra mile.
That was Delhi.
This is Mumbai. Here, when you have to shift homes in less than a month and you need curtains asap, and you're working, there is really hardly any time to go scouting for curtains, not to mention the patience required for it. And honestly, at some point you just give up. There are so many other, more important jobs to be done, and something's gotta give. And stitched curtains are far more expensive as well. In a rented home, do you really want to spend that kind of money, especially if you are moving every year?
So in my case, the curtains bore the brunt of the compromise. Off we went to Fabindia and after a first, unsuccessful trip -- both of us don't like the strap curtains -- we finally came to terms with them. So we picked a typical strappy curtain, in a textured beige, for the TV room, and a non strappy - Fabindia has a new variety which slides into the road but look Ma, no straps -- red, half sheer for our room. I like the colour, it makes the room look really cheerful, but hey I miss my regular, stitched curtains.

a quick one
Too much going on so this is just a quick blog.
> JWT, sorry the Appy Fizz adds don't do anything for me. I know the adfilmmakers have tried to position it as this cool drink to hang out with, since drinks -- alcoholic or otherwise -- are an integral part of any hangin' out, but a ginat sized plastic inflatable balloon as cool? Sorry. It just reminds me of those punching toys that kids play with. The kind you box and they just bob right back. If you must know, my 11-year-old nephew asked me about the ad this morning, which is why I remembered that you'd asked my opinion on this ad. Well, he likes the ad. So if that's the target audience Appy Fizz was looking for, then I guess they're fine!
> The ad that did catch my attention the other day was the new Reebok DMX ad, posters of which were plastered all across the wall opposite Juhu beach. It just has the picture of a road, shot in this orange twilight kind of effect, and it says 'The road is free. Run'. The next one says 'The road is open 24/7. Run'. Loved both ads. of course in Mumbai the road is not free, because it's potholed. But yeah I know what they mean. What does it really take to exercise? You don't need a gym, you don't need to pay fancy fees at Gold's or Ozone or whatever, you just need to put on those shoes and get out there. I even thought of the marathon. But despite Mumbai not being a very run-able city, cool ads all the same. I wanted to get out of the car and run!
> Not seen any exciting ads on TV recently, because I've hardly been watching any TV. Will do so soon and be back with more observations.

Aamir Coke ad
Put your hands up everyone, who liked the Aamir Khan Coke ad. I didn't. It was just about OK. I think the ad had the potential to be done much better. It wasn't even funny. His earlier ads like the Hyderabadi tapori act, even the Yaaran da Tashan and the Chhota Coke ads have been far more entertaining, with a strong message. This ad seems to have got lost in the Japanese look. Agreed we are a country notorious for fleecing our foreign tourists. read any visitor's blog on India and they willt ell you what an assault it is on their sensibilities to land and be accosted by 'taxi madam', 'You want room madam' etc but this time Prasoon Joshi hasn't managed to weave that in plus drive home the thanda + pakoda equation. Maybe they were trying to achieve too much in one ad, by going along with the different look for each ad plus drivign home the message.
Of all the soft drink ads, I like the Mallika Sherawat one the best minus her irritating Fydo, instead of Fido. But she manages to make the ad fun and her voice has the right expression and tone. I thought it was a cool concept and well executed. So my vote goes to 7Up.
It's another matter that I don't drink any of these soft drinks and the one I really liked didn't take off in India, Canada Dry.
PS: I really liked the Aamir and Zohra Sehgal Titan ad. The lady is just so lively with a glint in her eye even at this age, you can't help but smile at the ad with Aamir trying to force her to get married. For those fo you who haven't seen it, Aamir is reading from the matrimonial section and selecting a groom for his dadi, played by Sehgal. She is of course declining all offers, in a playful manner, and even allows herself a minute of sentimentality until her grandson drops the bomb: if she won't agree he won't give her the wedding present he's brought for her. At once the old lady's eyes spark up and she sees it is a Titan and immediately agrees to the wedding. The ad ends with Aamir landing a kiss atop her head. Very cute.

Another ad/life blog
Thanks everyone who shared their comments on the previous blog about big cities and small towns. I notice that the feeling is catching on. I saw an ad for Wagon R today (an MUV from Maruti, India's largest car maker) and it was about a young guy, ex-investment banker, who gives up his job to start an adventure sports company. 'My office is now 10 X 4', goes the vocie over, and has him sitting on a fold up chair in the white silver sands of Rishikesh, catching trout for supper and relaxing with a girl by his side. The tagline is something about the next generation.
This actually takes the Tata Dicor, 'Make your own road' ad a step further in terms of thought. That had the guy in an underground tunnel with the now-famous 'I always wanted to quit on a Monday morning' and urged people to make their own path in life. This Wagon R ad (and both are vehicles) actually shows a guy who has done that -- quit a plush city job to set up base in the mountains and the river, and enjoying himself to the hilt, no regret in sight.
This is obviously a reflection of how we are feeling and heading. Every other day I come across someone who has either quit or wants to quit their job to do something else. Maybe even just social work, without money (a blog on that later). In fact, there is a blogger who is with a top notch consultancy and is quitting his job to pursue full-time writing. I know a colleague who is quitting to do some social work with kids, and I know a high profile executive who nurtures dreams to work with an NGO soon. This generation has not seen a real war, alienation, separation, partition. Not up close at least. I know that my only brush with the partition is through stories, and even those are not peppered with gore anymore as grandparents find themselves having forgotten or chosen to forget the horrors and settled into a somewhat comfortable environment. This generation has been born into homes with cars and computers, OK not iPods, but micros, fridges, ovens yes and the basic comforts of life were a given. Which is why they have the balls to actually think of doing this. Can you imagine our dad and mums quitting their jobs to set up adventure camps or a shaadi.com or some such? It's interesting, the freedom that a booming economy brings. You can actually afford to unleash yourself from the 'let's make pots of money race' which is precisely what the country is doing, and do something different, because it's only when the going's good that people have the money to spend on your 'different' service. If it wasn't you'd too be behind that 9-9 desk looking at that ad which goes 'I always wanted to quit on a Monday morning' and thinking, 'Yeah man, I so want that'.

Mumbaikar? What does it mean?
Bombay, Mumbai, Mumbaiyya, Mumbaikar... what is the cut off point? When do you stop being an outsider and become a Mumbaikar? When does Delhi, Kanpur, Nagpur, Kolkata stop mattering? Is it five years or 10? Or is it one year for some? Or are some people Mumbaikars before they even come here? In their state of mind, in their thinking... Are they just perfectly fitted to come here and gel with the masses that throb and throng this bustling metropolis? When do these people stop saying 'I live in Mumbai but I originally belong to ...' Are there some people who never have to say that at all?
I don't know. I don't think I totally fit in yet. If fitting in means becoming tolerant and insensitive to the muck and the traffic snarls and the huge health menace the open drains and the gutters pose, then I never want to fit in. Not in Mumbai, not anywhere else. If becoming immune to deaths by building collapses and immune to open spaces being sold to the highest bidder which choke the city's lungs means fitting in, then I never want to fit in. But yes if it means crusading for the city we live in, to make it a better more breathable place, then I would like to fit in. Unfortunately that isn't happening. Suhel Seth had written a huge piece in HT the other day while he was in Mumbai attending the Luxury Conference and I'm afraid, for once I have to agree with the man. I can't imagine anyone from Delhi coming here and not wanting to head right back in two days, if for nothing else but to just breathe in peace. To see green. Real green, not in a new fashion creation by Surily Goel, but in trees, in leaves, in the grass.
Yes I was miserable initially and I did miss Delhi and I did realise that how much ever I never prided myself on being a Delhiite (I still don't fully consider myself one, since I wasn't born there and didn't spend my formative years there) I think I definitely connect more to Delhi. For one, it's predominantly Punjabi so I understand the language, the culture, the habits, the people. unlike Mumbai where I don't understand Marathi and Gujarati but that won't stop people from speaking in the language when they spot a fellow being. Plus, Delhi has green spaces. On my drive to work I used to pass through the ridge and it was green. The areas around Connaught Place like Prithviraj Road are beautiful in the winter with all the trees in blossom. So is Chandigarh. The main sector 17 and 18 road, down from Sector 8 is just gorgeous. I think I would seriously be a happier person if I was closer to nature, because that's how I grew up. I am so missing having a dog these days that I think about it every day. This is the first time in my life that I don't have a pet. But a pet in Mumbai is like torture for the animal, and if you've ever loved animals, then you'll know that you don't just get a pet to make yourself happy.
Sometimes I really want to shift to a smaller town, like a Pune, which incidentally I've never even been to. So one won't have to travel two hours to meet a friend. Like Shobhaa De says. The other day she wrote in her Bombay Times column that she's stopped accepting invitations beyond Kemp's Corner (she lives in Cuffe Parade) and much as that sounds horribly snooty I can't help but agree with her. Because most people would accept and then just not show up; she has the courtesy to refuse it upfront. What is the point, I ask you, in getting ready and be stuck in traffic for over two hours? Surely you have to be a saint to arrive at a party in a good mood, knowing the return trip is going to take as long. But in Mumbai, that's a done thing. They all understand it, live with it and it's cool. But it's not cool for me, and that's not what I consider fun. Or a life.
Is this metro life? Opportunity yes, freedom yes, money yes, but also zero infrastructure, pathetic roads, jammed airports, traffic snarls, and absolutely no green. Quality of life isn't even worth a thought here.
It's already happening other parts of the world. I read in the paper the other day that a very rich group of urban elites in China have given up their jobs and their companies and moved to a faraway area which they have bought. They constructed houses, they grow their own fruits and vegetables and they live a self sufficient life. Sooner or later, more and more Indians are going to adopt this approach too. I can guarantee that urban elites are going to burn out sooner, seek a spiritual quest, and seek a better and healthier, less stressful life and opt to shift out of this sardines-packed life to a better place. If you have the money, buy yourself a plot of land in a smaller town or near it. It will not go waste.

One year in Bombay
It's been a year sicne I shifted to Bombay. A year in my new job. This city, for all its problems, has given me a lot of firsts; there are things I've been able to do here that I haven't been able to do anywhere else. Which is exciting.
A blog on my one year in this city, soon.

Aspara-Enoki Ume Roll
1. Asparagus - thin ones
2. Enoki Mushrooms
3. Bacon or really thinly sliced pork (shabu-shabu style)
4. Ume-shiso*secret ingredient*
1. Cut aspara & enoki to roughly the same length as the pork slice
2. Pan-fry aspara till 90% cooked
3. Smash ume-shiso and smear it generously on one end of the pork slice
4. top it up with aspara & enoki and roll it all!
5. Pan-fry the rolls
6. Voila!
Tip 1: You can add a bit of tubed ume-shiso paste if you don't have enough umes.
Tip 2: If you're using bacon, don't add the ume-shiso paste as it will be way too salty.
Tip 3: This makes a delightful appetizer especially when nobody expects to taste the tangy ume-shiso when you bite into the roll. :)

1. Please participate in your local Climate Strike if you can. It's all for a good cause.
Tomorrow, I will be participating in one in my city.
2. Hm... EB Games sent out emails to members advertising the Mega Drive Mini. Curiously, it advertises the games using the Japanese covers. I noticed the Sonic 2 cover immediately, before realising the logos of other games being in Japanese.
How bizarre.
1. SupahBerry
It could be a case of them trying to distance themselves from the edgy "Eff Nintendo" phase SEGA of America pulled and all that wracket. Besides, who wants to look at an assbrowed mohawk hedgehog these days, right?
2. Polkadi~☆
I saw the packaging in the store, which show the PAL region boxarts. Definitely just an odd case for the email.
Oh, have I ever mentioned how oddly aesthetically pleasing the PAL boxart for Sonic 1 is?
3. Ryannumber1gamer
The Japanese covers are technically apart of the console, you can switch languages and roms.
3. Don't tell me people are actually going to do the Area 51 raid.
1. SupahBerry
Someone here said it was cancelled?
2. Polkadi~☆
Memes are ramping up. Something is happening.
Or nothing at all is happening, because no one is that stupid.
3. Crow the BOOLET
Crow the BOOLET
People just really want to visit me
...Its kind of lonely here
4. Polkadi~☆
Crow is locked up in Area 51?
brb booking tickets
5. Celestia
Be there or be square
6. Polkadi~☆
but i'm already square
can i still be there
7. Celestia
If you're literally square shaped, yes.
If you're square in the metaphorical 40s/50s meaning of the word then the answer is still yes because by being there you won't be square anymore

September 11
I was only a couple of days old. My father was getting ready for work early in the morning, switched on the news, and saw the news coverage. He immediately woke my mother up, as they looked at the news in shock. My mother cried, wondering what world she brought me into. From birth 'til death, my answer remains the same, whether or not 9/11 happened: a crazy bizarre world. As someone who never really "experienced" 9/11, it's effect is lost on me. By this point, it feels like America is hung up on it when it happened and it passed. I understand the impact, however, as 9/11 is still a horrible, horrible event, and I condemn those who planned and orchestrated the event. But now it's time to move on as stronger people.
5. I'm not even into traditional JRPGS, so why do I find Dragon Quest XI so fun?
My only complaint is that Free-Form Fighting is bloody useless >:U
You're better off using the Classic Camera.
1. Crow the BOOLET
Crow the BOOLET
Try playing Tales of Vesperia
The free form movement makes things weird that you'd rather play in the 2D camera mode
Not that isn't a solid game mind, its really good. It just feels like 3D movement feels like it should move you into position rather than use for fighting.
2. Polkadi~☆
You can try to run from attacks, but enemies will still get you. You can also position party members to be in the way so that enemies can’t get to you. But nooo, making it really useless.
3. tailsBOOM!
I'm glad you enjoy! Dragon Quest is truly a joy!
6. >gets a 4-Chain combo
>one or two garbage puyos on opponent
>opponent gets a basic 2-chain combo
>rows of garbage puyo drop on me
1. Ryannumber1gamer
2. Blacklightning
My guess is Margin Time. tl;dr, the longer a match goes on, the more the damage of both players is multiplied to keep matches from stalling infinitely. As far as weakening goes, that's probably Offset - which is to say when you make a chain, it negates garbage that would have otherwise been dumped on you right after the chain before sending any to the opponent, either dampening the attack (as it would have here) or their resulting counterattack.
I play way too much Puyo Tetris okay
7. Thanks to A Link to the Past, I always imagine that particular incarnation of Link as having blonde hair with pink highlights. Like, under any light, the edges of the hair have a pink glow to it.
...I mean, A Link Between Worlds says no, but it’s fun to imagine.
1. SupahBerry
That's amusing, since most other interpratations of that sprite have his hair fully pink. I for one assumed the pink was part of the hat.
2. Polkadi~☆
I used to think it was part of the hat :p
Official art for the game shows Link with blonde hair, so the reason his hair is pink in the game will forever remain unknown. So I make my own ideas ^_^
1. tailsBOOM!
What's you FC? I don't know if are friends yet.
9. I remember reading about a French programme that played all kinds of anime to kids, and it was massively popular. I can’t remember it’s name...
And then I read about how they have a system similar to Shonen Jump, with rankings to keep certain series running. And from start to finish of this series, DragonBall dominated the no.1 spot of the ranks. It was so popular, that Akira Toriyama himself appeared on the programme to be given a special award
10. Loot boxes are designed to rope in whales who throw away cash with no concern and gambling addicts who cannot control themselves from spending. And although companies will never admit it, they’re aimed at kids too, who have no concept of currency. Loot boxes are designed to take people’s money. To excuse that behaviour is ridiculous, especially now that the practice has become incredibly predatory, with no forewarnings to the fact that a game has them. I am all for their ban. Gaming publishers are getting too carried away with their money maker, to the detriment of their consumers and their products, and are willing to defend it to the death, considering they make more money than sales these days. These games aren’t hiding that they’re gambling mechanics, and need to be regulated. At the very least, put a warning on the age rating label to dissuade the easily influenced.
11. As I dive more and more into what I want to do in the future, the life of a comic book creator has me thoroughly intrigued. It has me thinking of the good and the bad, especially with working in comics being an unappreciated job in much of the world.
12. I tried the game out for a time, and I don’t really like it 😅 The characters don’t control too well, and the stages, in my opinion, are really really poorly designed. There’s a good idea in there, but the execution of it is not for me.
13. “stan” has a rather negative connotation to it
so tell me,
why the hell would you want to be a stan for something when it means you are dangerously obsessed over that something
1. Ferno
i just feel bad for any dude in the world named stan these days tbh
its like dick, you're never getting your name back im so sorry oh my god
2. Zaysho
It was really weird seeing people calling themselves "stans" what seems fairly recently because it's only ever been used as an insult whenever I've heard it brought up in the past.
3. Wraith
People are just playfully exaggerating their fixation
4. SupahBerry
Stan Lee didn't have to die having his name be indirectly assiociated with such filfh.
14. boy i sure love playin some sonic 2
1. Forgetful Panda
Forgetful Panda
Better Sonic/Sabrina crossover than Some Enchantra Evening.
15. send me music with “i win” energy. the kind of music that plays when it looks like the protagonist is about to lose, but then this music plays in the background
1. Spin Attaxx
2. Celestia
No joke: Open Your Heart always had that energy to me. Even now after all these years I think it should have played in the second half of the fight instead.

Type constructor
Last updated
For example, simply typed lambda calculus can be seen as a language with a single type constructorthe function type constructor. Product types can generally be considered "built-in" in typed lambda calculi via currying.
Type operators may bind type variables. For example, giving the structure of the simply-typed λ-calculus at the type level requires binding, or higher-order, type operators. These binding type operators correspond to the 2nd axis of the λ-cube, and type theories such as the simply-typed λ-calculus with type operators, λω. Combining type operators with the polymorphic λ-calculus (System F) yields System Fω.

In mathematics and computer science, currying is the technique of converting a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions that each take a single argument. For example, currying a function that takes three arguments creates three functions:
In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm where programs are constructed by applying and composing functions. It is a declarative programming paradigm in which function definitions are trees of expressions that each return a value, rather than a sequence of imperative statements which change the state of the program.
In mathematical logic and computer science, a general recursive function or μ-recursive function, is a partial function from natural numbers to natural numbers that is "computable" in an intuitive sense. In computability theory, it is shown that the μ-recursive functions are precisely the functions that can be computed by Turing machines. The μ-recursive functions are closely related to primitive recursive functions, and their inductive definition (below) builds upon that of the primitive recursive functions. However, not every μ-recursive function is a primitive recursive function—the most famous example is the Ackermann function.
In mathematics, logic, and computer science, a type system is a formal system in which every term has a "type" which defines its meaning and the operations that may be performed on it. Type theory is the academic study of type systems.
In mathematics and computer science in general, a fixed point of a function is a value that is mapped to itself by the function. In combinatory logic for computer science, a fixed-point combinator is a higher-order function that returns some fixed point of its argument function, if one exists.
In programming language theory and proof theory, the Curry–Howard correspondence is the direct relationship between computer programs and mathematical proofs.
In computer programming, especially functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type is a kind of composite type, i.e., a type formed by combining other types.
A typed lambda calculus is a typed formalism that uses the lambda-symbol to denote anonymous function abstraction. In this context, types are usually objects of a syntactic nature that are assigned to lambda terms; the exact nature of a type depends on the calculus considered. From a certain point of view, typed lambda calculi can be seen as refinements of the untyped lambda calculus, but from another point of view, they can also be considered the more fundamental theory and untyped lambda calculus a special case with only one type.
In computer science and mathematical logic, a function type is the type of a variable or parameter to which a function has or can be assigned, or an argument or result type of a higher-order function taking or returning a function.
In mathematical logic and computer science, the Calculus of Constructions (CoC) is a type theory created by Thierry Coquand. It can serve as both a typed programming language and as constructive foundation for mathematics. For this second reason, the CoC and its variants have been the basis for Coq and other proof assistants.
Lambda cube
In mathematical logic and type theory, the λ-cube is a framework introduced by Henk Barendregt to investigate the different dimensions in which the calculus of constructions is a generalization of the simply typed λ-calculus. Each dimension of the cube corresponds to a new kind of dependency between terms and types. Here, "dependency" refers to the capacity of a term or type to bind a term or type. The respective dimensions of the λ-cube correspond to:
The SKI combinator calculus is a combinatory logic, a computational system that may be perceived as a reduced version of the untyped lambda calculus. It can be thought of as a computer programming language, though it is not convenient for writing software. Instead, it is important in the mathematical theory of algorithms because it is an extremely simple Turing complete language. It was introduced by Moses Schönfinkel and Haskell Curry.
In computer science and logic, a dependent type is a type whose definition depends on a value. It is an overlapping feature of type theory and type systems. In intuitionistic type theory, dependent types are used to encode logic's quantifiers like "for all" and "there exists". In functional programming languages like Agda, ATS, Coq, F*, Epigram, and Idris, dependent types may help reduce bugs by enabling the programmer to assign types that further restrain the set of possible implementations.
The simply typed lambda calculus, a form of type theory, is a typed interpretation of the lambda calculus with only one type constructor that builds function types. It is the canonical and simplest example of a typed lambda calculus. The simply typed lambda calculus was originally introduced by Alonzo Church in 1940 as an attempt to avoid paradoxical uses of the untyped lambda calculus, and it exhibits many desirable and interesting properties.
In mathematics and computer science, apply is a function that applies a function to arguments. It is central to programming languages derived from lambda calculus, such as LISP and Scheme, and also in functional languages. It has a role in the study of the denotational semantics of computer programs, because it is a continuous function on complete partial orders. Apply is also a continuous function in homotopy theory, and, indeed underpins the entire theory: it allows a homotopy deformation to be viewed as a continuous path in the space of functions. Likewise, valid mutations (refactorings) of computer programs can be seen as those that are "continuous" in the Scott topology.
In computer science, Scott encoding is a way to represent (recursive) data types in the lambda calculus. Church encoding performs a similar function. The data and operators form a mathematical structure which is embedded in the lambda calculus.
In the area of mathematical logic and computer science known as type theory, a kind is the type of a type constructor or, less commonly, the type of a higher-order type operator. A kind system is essentially a simply typed lambda calculus "one level up", endowed with a primitive type, denoted and called "type", which is the kind of any data type which does not need any type parameters.
In computer science, partial application refers to the process of fixing a number of arguments to a function, producing another function of smaller arity. Given a function , we might fix the first argument, producing a function of type . Evaluation of this function might be represented as . Note that the result of partial function application in this case is a function that takes two arguments. Partial application is sometimes incorrectly called currying, which is a related, but distinct concept.

Clean Fuel ? Clean Performance for NAPLES Drivers
Fuel filters clean the dirt, dust and debris out of your fuel. Both gasoline and diesel-powered engines have them. The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between the fuel tank and the vehicle engine.NAPLES auto owners don't need to filter their fuel because it has lots of grit in it; they need to filter it because it has some grit it in. Any dirt is bad for your engine. The cleaner the fuel, the better your vehicle engine will run.Over time, the small amounts of rust, dirt and contaminants in your fuel settle out inside the fuel tank. After about five years, this can amount to a quite a bit of sediment. This means that as your vehicle ages, your fuel filter has to work harder to screen your fuel: more sediment in your tank means more potential for grit in your fuel.The harder your fuel filter works, the more often it needs to be replaced. Check with your owner's manual to find out how often it should be serviced and how long you can expect it to last. NAPLES ... read more

On Board Diagnostics for Your vehicle
Today we're going to talk about on-board diagnostics and the questions we hear from folks around NAPLES, FL, who need answers about diagnostic services. They want to know what diagnostics are, what's involved and what the benefits are. They really want to understand the value of diagnostic scans by a trained technician in NAPLES.These are valid concerns. If you don't understand something it's really hard to know its value. Let's start with some history.Since 1996, all cars and light trucks in NAPLES, FL, have been required to use a standardized diagnostic system to help repair technicians determine what's wrong with your vehicle. The diagnostic system works with the vehicle's Engine Control Module – the computer that controls many engine functions.The computer monitors dozens of components and processes. Depending on what the sensors read, the computer will make adjustments to compensate for conditions and minor problems. When there is a condition that it can't adjust for, the co ... read more

Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair Automotive Tips: Alternator
Your alternator makes electricity to start and run your engine and all of the vital electrical systems in your vehicle. That’s everything from the on-board computers to the turn signals. And of course there is the entertainment system, seat heaters, power windows and everything you plug into the power outlets. After your alternator makes enough electricity to do all that, it recharges your battery with what’s left over.When NAPLES drivers constantly have a low or dead battery, the alternator is usually a prime suspect. However, the alternator is just one vital component of the starting/charging system, and a problem with any of the other components could be the actual cause.In addition to the alternator, the charging/starting system includes the battery, starter, serpentine belt system and all of the electrical cables that connect them. Your Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair service advisor has a systematic process of testing components and connections to get to the sou ... read more

Q: Why is it Ilva partir demain and NOT il va à partir demain?
Unlike the English verb "go", the French verb aller is followed directly by an infinitive (there is no intervening preposition).
Q: Why is it Je vais chercher un livre and NOT je vas chercher un livre?
Remember, the "je" form of aller is written with an "i" and is different from all other forms.
Q: Why is it je vais manger and NOT je vais mangé?
Don't forget, the verb aller is followed by the infinitive; it is never followed by the past participle.

Clues To Blindspot!
Posted: October 6, 2015 in Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Tags: , ,
BlindspotThe episode titles are clues. I’ve got a “jump,” but depending on the how you get there, you may go straight to the article. You’ve been warned!
If you are watching Blindspot, you may not know it, but there are clues in the episode titles. You might find them “spoilery,” though I believe that if the writers are putting them there by intent, they are part of the show. So far, I’ve been very hooked on this show, though I didn’t think I would like it. They are moving the story along quickly, which I like, but was worried if they could sustain it. I understand the show will follow the “short season” model, so that hopefully means we will get story and not filler.
If you want the clues, follow the jump… (more…)
What are your thoughts on it?
X-men evolutionYou know? I was rather disappointed. My wife and I just finished the entire 4 seasons of X-Men: Evolution and they didn’t kill Jean Grey once!!! I mean, seriously?!? How can it be X-Men without her being deceased. Even the movies had the decency to kill her twice.
Other than that, it was actually quite enjoyable. There were some significant shifts from canon. The Wolverine-Cyclops tension is missing and it did annoy me a bit that they wrote out Nightcrawler’s devoutness.
Still, it was really well done. The voicing is much better than the old ’94 series. Kitty seems most unchanged from the original material. There was a very nice tip of the hat to the Rogue-Gambit relationship. Storm was seriously badass and had the long flowing hair. No short crop or mohawk.
It looks like they were setting up the Phoenix story at the end. I would have been nice if they had been able to do it. If for no other reason than to get Jean killed at least once.

Google Innovator Program
I have been accepted to attend the Google Innovators Academy in Sydney. Wahoo!
Here is my vision video. Let the journey begin...
1. Congratulations Maria, and very well deserved! You are an inspiration to all the teachers of Kootuitui schools and your colleagues in the Outreach clusters too. I finally got myself organised - partly due to your occasional prodding - and passed the Level 1 exam today.
2. Go you! well done. What a little prodding and a little down time can do, along with your determination. You know more than you recognise.

Simple, yet amazing
What does Eid al-Adha mean for Muslims?
Eid al-Adha
Every religion has its own celebration so we talk today about one of the most popular event or celebration. It’s Eid al-Adha for muslims. Eid El-Adha is considered one of the religion celebration Muslims have. The first celebration is Eid al-Fitr.
What’s Eid-al-Adha?
Eid-al-Adha is an important celebration or festival for Muslims. It’s not just celebration. It’s the most important celebration or festival. It’s remembers the willingness of prophet Ibrahim in order to sacrifice his own son when Allah ordered him to do that.
As Allah ordered him to sacrifice his own son Ismael to show his obedience. And to show if he will do that or listen to the devil that told him to refuse and disobey Allah.
Ibrahim was a strong faithful so he decided to obey Allah and took his son to Mount Moriah and he was already about to kill his own son but Allah stopped him and gave Ibrahim a lamb instead of his son to sacrifice.
You have to know that god of course doesn’t want a lamb or any animal but he want Muslims and faithful Muslims to show their obedience and they are devoted themselves to Allah. This is also show their obedience to Allah.
How people celebrate Eid el-Adha?
Eid al-Adha is a public holiday in all Muslims country. and a lot of non-Muslims countries gives Muslims holiday in that day to celebrate their festival.
The famous phrase among Muslims to congratulate on this occasion is Eid Mubarak.
In Eid al-Adha every year, people buy an animal usually goat or sheep this is known as “Udhiya” and they sacrifice the animal to remind themselves of what Ibrahim had done to show his obedience by slaughter the animal then they give the meat to their family and the poor people.
Muslims also go to the mosque to pray Eid al-Adha pray in the morning after the rise of the sun. They wear new clothes and thank Allah for the blessing he gave them.
They also visit their relatives and friends. Muslims also donate money to charity which is known as “zakat Eid al-Adha” this is one of the most important things they do in that day.
Muslims also do one of the important things to celebrate which is known as one of the five pillars of Islam. This is “Haji pilgrimage”.
In the period of Eid al-Adha, a lot of Muslims travel to Mecca and surroundings areas in Saudi Arabia to do Haji pilgrimage. But it’s for the willing people only as many people can’t afford travel to Mecca. So travel agency from all over the world organize package holiday for Muslims in this period. A lot of people began to save money for a lot of time to can afford travelling to Mecca and do Haji pilgrimage.
The date of the day depend on observing the moon and the length of a particular month may vary between years. so Eid El-Adha is predicted at the start of the month of Dhul Hijja. This day is around ten days before the start of the festival.

Augmented learning :research and design of mobile educational games
New technology has brought with it new tools for learning, and research has shown that the educational potential of video games resonates with scholars, teachers, and students alike. In Augmented Learning, Eric Klopfer describes the largely untapped potential of mobile learning games--games played on such handheld devices as cell phones, Game Boys, and Sony PSPs--to make a substantial impact on learning. Examining mobile games from both educational and gaming perspectives, Klopfer argues that the strengths of the mobile platform--its portability, context sensitivity, connectivity, and ubiquity--make it ideal for learning games in elementary, secondary, university, and lifelong education.Klopfer begins by exploring the past and present of education, educational technology, "edutainment," and mobile games, and then offers a series of case studies of mobile educational games that have been developed and implemented in recent years. These games--either participatory (which require interaction with other players) or augmented reality (which augment the real world with virtual information)--can be produced at lower cost than PC or full-size console games. They use social dynamics and real-world contexts to enhance game play, can be integrated into the natural flow of instruction more easily than their big-screen counterparts, and can create compelling educational and engaging environments for learners. They are especially well-suited for helping learners at every level develop twenty-first century skills--including the ability to tackle complex problems and acquire information in "just-in-time" fashion. All of this, Klopfer argues, puts mobile learning games in a unique and powerful position within educational technology.

Freelance SEO Edinburgh
Need To Choose The Right SEO Company To Do Business With? Read The Tips
As it pertains to business, services are included in the you get what you pay for cliche. You should never make a decision completely based on the prices of the services. The entire project may fail, compelling you to spend more in the long run. Use these strategies as a guide to ensure you work with the perfect search engine optimisation agency for the job.
If you're a customer speaking with a service representative, you'll know that the search engine optimisation agency values you if the representative stays on the line until you're fully satisfied with the status of the issue at hand. Moreover, you'll know the customer service representative is well-trained if she stays positive throughout the call and listens carefully to what you say. Being clear and concise will eliminate the high possibility of a misunderstanding.
Spend some time making observations and looking for reviews and information. Ask anyone you know who has done business with a business you're considering, or who has worked for the search engine optimisation agency, to let you know the things they learn about how it operates and how it treats customers. The more information you could gather about a business, the more sure you'll feel that you've put your project in the right hands.
Only hire companies that are fully bonded and insured. That way, even though the search engine optimisation agency fails to finish the project, your investment is protected. You'll also feel worry-free while the job is being completed, because you understand that your financial investment is fully protected.
If you are looking to hire a search engine optimisation agency, take a look at its social networking and business profile on websites like Facebook and LinkedIn. Facebook pages tend to be more focused and practical than SEO Agency Twitter feeds. Anytime you come across lots of negative reviews about a search engine optimisation company on any social networking site, make a note never to hire that SEO Agency. If you pick the wrong search engine optimisation agency, you will end up spending too much money or getting poor service.
See to it that the service provider you're considering is capable of delivering a solution for your particular problem. Start by checking the search engine optimisation agency's website or social networking pages for a detailed description of the services it provides. Let this info determine whether or not you want to hire the SEO Agency in question.
Even though price is important, you need to be wary of low proposals. However, a high quote doesn't mean you are getting a much better service. The best search engine optimisation agency usually turns out to be one in the mid-priced range.
You should make it a priority to pick a search engine optimisation agency that you're comfortable with. Take the time to consider a number of companies rather than making a hasty decision. It's best to start by brainstorming a list of companies that you want to research in depth before making your decision.

The Topeka City Railway was a horse and mule railway. The first short piece or road was constructed under a contract with a Mr. Hathaway of Cleveland , Ohio. It was quite primitive. The rails being 25-pound, and laid upon stringers instead of cross ties as now built. The people hailed with delight the street cars drawn by mules. The mules had a higher standing then than now, except as to cost. Such a mule as we bought then for $75 would sell now $150. The cars used were known as “Bob-tail” cars. They were not heated, had a long seat on each side of the car, and had an aisle through the center and no vestibule for the driver’s protection from the weather. Such cars are used now in small towns. Grades had not been established on some of the streets when the road was built.
With some exceptions, we got along peacefully with the people and the city council. The passengers had to drop fares in a box, so that the driver had to keep a weather eye on the passengers as well as the mules. There were some advantages [to the slow travel] not fully appreciated by passengers then, if now. For instance, one could catch up with a car and get on if the driver missed seeing him, and one could get off at no great hazard without stopping the car. The mules were averse to running over people in the streets and willingly stopped upon the least occasion, so that damages were slight.
But we had some troubles, nevertheless. The county commissioners for some reason inconsiderately asked the company to pay for maintaining the flooring across the [Kansas river] bridge because they alleged our mules in crossing to and from helped wear out the planks, and they were disposed to stop us from using the bridge. Not coinciding with their views, the company enjoined the commissioners from interfering with it’s property on the bridge on the grounds that the bridge was part of the street and under control of the city council, and that our company had a franchise permitting the use and occupancy of the streets.
And again, the city council once got on the war path about something we had done or had not done on Sixth street, and the city attorney served notice on us that he had been directed to take steps to forfeit our franchise. But as the Hon. J. D. McFarland was the city attorney, a man not given to impulsive action (he with much more coolness and deliberation than characterized the action of the council) he broke the news to me, as president, the dreadful information in such a quiet manner as not to shock me, and as he did not rush us into court, the matter died of inaction.
At another time we had some trouble with the hackmen of the city who sought to prevent us from building a track down Topeka Avenue to the fair grounds. But we went before the court and secured an injunction against their interference with construction. We had the popular side of that case as the people much preferred to get to the fair grounds for a nickel than to walk or pay 25 or 50 cents for a hack.
The City Railway constructed a temporary track down Topeka avenue [from Fourteenth street] with T-rails and cross ties borrowed from the Santa Fe R.R.
We had in those days some open cars with steps along the outside the entire length of the cars. People would fill the cars and then the outside steps like a swarm of bees. Sometimes a car would get off the track and then, with a great shout, all would jump off and as many as could would lay hold of the car and lift it back on the track, shout and roar with laughter and rush aboard again. A good natured people they were, no ugly discourteous remarks about the management. (On this point, Mr. Mulvane apparently forgot the tone of innumerable Vox Pop letters in local papers, critical of his company’s ways of doing business.--Ed.)
Well, the boom came on about 1885, and it was a severe attack. It looked like there were not enough street railways or town lots. With few exceptions people lost their financial sense and judgement--those that had any--and among other things a crop of street railway charters for Topeka were filed. They had great names, such as “Rapid Transit,” “Inter-Suburban” [interurban], “Cable Electric” and such. It looked as though the mule might be short on oats--when these lines were built. The city council freely granted franchises to various companies.
The rapid Transit built on Jackson and some other streets and the mule road was a discarded sweetheart. Almost a riot occurred at the crossing at Jackson and Tenth. The Rapid Transit, when it’s construction reached Tenth Street, was found to be upon a different grade than the constructed track of the City Railway. As they were in high feather, being the “new broom,” they were disposed to tear up our track unless we changed our grade to conform to theirs. We refused to do so as our track had been laid upon a grade as given by the city engineer.
Jesse Shaw, our super- intendent, non-combatant and sweet tempered as we all know him to be, donned his fighting clothes,
and supported by a number of our employees, stood in battle array to protect our property. The attack was not made. Better counsel prevailed.
Another time the Rapid Transit sought to get to the Rock Island depot at First and Kansas Avenue. In order to protect our double track right on Kansas Avenue, our company proceeded to construct a spur in front of the depot, connecting it with our single track. The Rapid Transit people tore up our track one night and put down some work of their own. We promptly proceeded to tear theirs up. The matter got into court and an injunction stopped the war.
(Mr. Mulvane could have told of another clash between City Railway and the Rapid Transit when the latter, through a court order, forced the horse car line to share the lucrative route along Topeka Avenue to the fair grounds. As a result the street from Fourteenth to Seventeenth was all but filled with two double tracks, leaving a narrow lane along one side only, for carriages, hacks and wagons.--Ed.)
Again, the Rapid Transit sought to extend on Second and Jefferson Streets, they having a franchise for the occupancy of one side of the street, and we were assigned the other. Being in high favor, they proceeded at a meeting of the city council at which we had no representative, to make it appear we were obstructing their constriction. Whereupon the council promptly passed a resolution declaring the rights of the City Railway forfeited, and directed us to remove our property from all streets in Topeka. We protested in an amiably worded communication, stating our rights and that the allegations were untrue, and that the action was taken in our absence upon an ex-parte hearing. We begged the council to rescind it’s action. Some of the councilmen were so exercised as to declare our property should be torn up and thrown in the Kansas river. The saving clause, however, was that they were slower about attempting to enforce their decisions than in declaring them.
We decided to sell to the Boston Syndicate while it was still flush, in 1887. We got a price satisfactory to ourselves. The consolidated road [Topeka Railway Company] operated for quite a while but it’s capitalization being so great, and bankruptcy looming up, the road was permitted to run down and become dilapidated. In this condition the present owners came to the front, bought and rebuilt the property. It is now as good as the best anywhere, and rendering service of which all are proud.

In addition to his interest in the City Railway, he figured prominently in organizing several other “firsts” for Topeka including it’s telephone system, electric light and water plants.
