Welcome to Drying Ink - I review fantasy, science fiction, and sometimes just whatever takes my fancy... Please stop by and say hello in the comments, blog hoppers!
1. I've just acquired a new boat-shaped bookshelf to fit in a hitherto unoccupied corner!
2. I managed to read all of Terry Goodkind's Sword of truth series (though mostly from morbid curiosity).
4. The largest book on my bookshelf is currently either Fatal Revenant (Stephen Donaldson), Toll the Hounds (Steven Erikson), or Surface Detail (Ian M. Banks).
5. Before I started blogging, I hadn't even heard of Brandon Sanderson.
Hopping through. I'm not familiar with Brandon Sanderson. It is amazing how much more you learn about books through blogging.
Haven't heard of this book...love your blog name.
Hi, Jacob! Hopping on by via the follow.
I admit that I haven't read much science fiction, although I do have a copy of Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny that is just staring at me from my book shelf, begging to be read. lol.
My tbr pile grows so much faster than I can read. Sigh.
I'm a new follower now! Feel from to stop and visit me and follow me back if you like!
@ Elizabeth: Welcome, and thank you. :) I'm following back as well - interesting blog.
@ Lisa: Well, I have STRONG morbid curiosity. ;) Plus there's a point at which it gets so ridiculous that you can just treat it as inadvertent comedy.
@ Carissa: Hi! Lord of Light I read a few years back, and Zelazny's a great writer - his Chronicles of Amber especially, which I'd definitely recommend. He manages to take a powerful protagonist and get away with it (Corwin of Amber). | 2019-04-20T06:46:46 | http://www.drying-ink.com/2011/03/blog-hop-and-follow-friday.html | [

Online shopping is an incredible instrument for furnishing a home. Yet, a great deal of us discounts buying furniture online in light of the fact that it appears to be excessively hazardous. How might you tell if what you see is really what you get? How would you realize the piece will work in your home on the off chance that you haven’t gotten an opportunity to see it first?
On the off chance that you’ve at any point put forth comparative inquiries, this post is for you. With an end goal to control you through this procedure, we’ve ventured to pull together our four top tips for purchasing furniture online. Peruse them over cautiously for whenever you’re prepared to switch up your interiors. With our assistance, we wager you’ll feel sufficiently certain to add online stores to your collection.
Measuring is the most vital part of buying furniture from furniture stores in Dubai, period. It’s considerably progressively essential when buying online. Since you won’t almost certainly stroll into a physical store and witness for yourself how that piece will fit in your space, you’ll need to ensure your measuring abilities are strong.
When you have a thing you need to purchase, read over the item listing to find the measurements. Then, utilize allotted painter’s tape or string to assemble a format of how it will look in your home. On the off chance that your furniture expands by one way or another — like a recliner or extendable dining table — ensure you represent the biggest rendition. At that point, twofold check your work.
Remember this isn’t the main estimation you need to represent. In the event that your furniture is coming to you previously gathered, you have to gauge any significant entryways and stairways to ensure you can really get it to where it should go.
Item listings should sound complimentary. That is the reason it’s normal for a household item to sound precisely like what you’ve been hoping for at first look. Frequently, however, surveys recount to a marginally extraordinary story. That is the place different clients regularly get genuine about their involvement with the item.
When buying online, these surveys are vital to your prosperity. Concentrate your shopping on things that have bunches of accessible surveys and read over them cautiously. You’ll, for the most part, begin to recognize a topic about certain subtleties referenced by different clients. Gauge these remarks in your choice, as they’re probably going to be intelligent of your experience.
Remember that each item will undoubtedly have a couple of terrible audits, particularly in the event that it has a high number of remarks. A terrible survey doesn’t really mean you shouldn’t purchase the item, yet it should factor into your choice. Give close consideration to the level of awful audits by and large and how the complainants state the dealer took care of their issue. So, if an audit doesn’t agree with you, it’s most likely best to investigate different items.
Online item photographs are difficult to pass judgment. Truly, that may, in fact, be what the bit of designer furniture Dubai resembles, but on the other hand, it’s being appeared in the absolute best light and with the absolute best arrangement to urge you to make a buy. Frequently, when you get it home, certain subtleties — particularly shading and surface — can be uncontrollably not quite the same as in the photograph.
That is the reason we suggest viewing the genuine article before buying, if at all conceivable. On the off chance that taking an outing to a store to see it in person is possible, that is your most logical option. If not, have a go at requesting a texture swatch. Numerous organizations will send one to you to guarantee you’re content with the manner in which the texture looks.
Ultimately, if a swatch isn’t a choice, you can generally complete a picture scan for purchaser photographs of the item. While a few subtleties will at present be somewhat modified by your PC screen, those will demonstrate to you an alternate rendition of how the piece will look once you’ve outfitted your home with it.
Nobody needs to go into a buy thinking they may finish up sending it back. Notwithstanding, it’s frequently unavoidable with online buys. Now and then, even your best judgment isn’t sufficient and the furniture just won’t work in your home the manner in which you figured it would. Checking the arrival approach early gives you the consolation that you have a reinforcement plan if things don’t go your direction.
Do they acknowledge returns by any stretch of the imagination?
Is there a period point of confinement to their arrival arrangement?
Do return things should be in their original packaging?
Are there any expenses for returning a thing?
What’s the arrival procedure like? What will you have to do to restore the thing?
What is their pivot time for a discount? When would you be able to hope to recover your cash?
At last, regardless of whether an arrival arrangement is palatable to you is an individual choice. No one but you can advise whether you’re willing to go for broke. Notwithstanding, since furniture will, in general, be an expensive thing, we prescribe sticking to stores that permit returns so you can secure your investment.
Buying furniture online doesn’t need to feel like you’re taking a major bet. You simply must be shrewd about your determination procedure. In view of that, we’ve ordered a rundown of our best guidance for shopping online. Remember these tips for whenever you’re prepared to make a major buy, and we’re certain you’ll feel considerably more safe about what you’re bringing home.

Going to A&M is something of a tradition in my family, with degrees going to my mom, dad, uncle, sister, and two brothers!
I originally joined A&M as a chemical engineering major, but it was the fundamental aspects of chemistry that really excited me. A major turning point in my career came in my freshman year, when I learned the way in which the Schrödinger Equation provided a simple, clear, and essentially exact mathematical description of chemical bonding. The idea that all of chemistry rests upon this equation from physics and the mathematical challenge of solving it was simply too intriguing to pass up. I immediately began participating in the theoretical chemistry laboratory of Michael Hall, and I soon switched over to pursuing a double major in chemistry and math.
Texas A&M profoundly influenced me in many ways, but most importantly, it provided me with the training, support, and self-confidence to pursue ambitious scientific challenges. Throughout my undergraduate career, the university enthusiastically supported my research interests, offered flexibility in terms of my class requirements (allowing me to take graduate courses and a dual major), and provided encouragement and guidance in my pursuit of graduate fellowships (including the British Marshall Scholarship). Central to all of this was the outstanding mentorship that I received in the Chemistry Department. Texas A&M helped me to realize that the world was wide-open with opportunity, and it provided me with the training and skills to seize those opportunities. | 2019-04-24T18:47:42 | http://www.chem.tamu.edu/giving/miller/ | [

How To Choose The Right Restaurant Hood Cleaning Company ?
Hood cleaning might not be the most romantic part of running a restaurant, but it’s just as fundamental as clean cutting boards, quality ingredients, and professional chefs. It’s also a job owners and managers entrust to another company. That being the case: how can you choose the right restaurant hood cleaning company?
Hood cleaning is more complicated than it might seem at first glance.
Accumulated grease is a tricky beast that demands tough love, proper equipment, the correct use of chemicals and solutions, and expertise. Improper handling of greasy hoods can force grease further into the ducts and other nooks and crannies above and behind the hood system, leading to a complicated situation.
Experience is the way to avoid this. The right hood cleaning company has experience handling hoods, ducts, and greasy situations of all kinds, and knows how to safely and effectively get hoods clean - inside, outside, and everywhere else.
Restaurant managers are busy people, period. Running a restaurant is a demanding and tough job that requires they be poised, moving, and attentive constantly. Which is why when it comes to outside services, they don’t need any additional stress or doubt - they get enough of that between deliveries, staff and customers, and all the other unexpected events that happen throughout the day.
A good hood cleaning company knows this, and maintains this awareness as a key part of their business relationship with a restaurant. This means showing up on time and on the right day, no missed appointments, consistent quality, and no additional worry or consideration needed from the restaurant manager.
Tradesmen often get a bad rap for having bad attitudes - sometimes unfairly, sometimes fairly. Whatever the case may be, good hood cleaning companies integrate professionalism and friendly customer service into their work. They show up at the restaurant on time and with a smile on their face, get their job down without stepping on anyone’s toes, and leave the kitchen with a friendly handshake and positive wishes to the team that will be using the hoods they just cleaned.
Choosing the right hood cleaning company means taking these three points into consideration. It can be tricky to find a service that brings all three to the table, but once they do, restaurant managers will know they’ve found a working relationship they want to make last. | 2019-04-18T17:04:17 | https://www.grandnaturalinc.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-restaurant-hood-cleaning-company.html | [

After the game, Carlisle said he benched Rondo because Barea and Felton were so effective — then the story changed the next day.
With Rondo now jettisoned to parts unknown —the nine-year veteran becomes a free agent on July 1 — that opens the door for Barea and Felton to show management what they can do.
“Well, both those guys are fighters,” Carlisle said after Thursday’s practice. “They’re big-time competitors.
The effectiveness of Barea and Felton will be part of the storyline when Game 3 of this best-of-seven series tips off at 6 p.m. Friday at American Airlines Center. The Rockets lead the series 2-0, but the Mavs are hoping Barea and Felton can help them win Friday, put pressure on Houston and climb right back in this series.
While Rondo had apparently mentally checked out of Game 2 after a series of unforced errors, Barea played 34 minutes, scored 13 points, grabbed six rebounds and was 5 of 14 from the field. Felton scored nine points and was 3 of 9 from the floor in 18 minutes.
Barea averaged 7.5 points and 3.4 assists in 17.7 minutes this season, and also started 10 games. Felton averaged 3.7 points and 1.4 assists in 9.7 minutes, and made three starts.
But Felton was limited to only 29 games after he suffered a nasty high ankle injury in the second preseason game against Oklahoma City, and then served a four-game NBA-imposed suspension after pleading guilty in June to a gun charge in New York.
The Mavs also are optimistic that point guard Devin Harris will be able to play Friday. Harris missed Game 2 with a recurring injury to his great left toe — an injury that occurred April 13 against Utah.
“The hope is that he won’t have any restrictions either in terms of minutes or anything like that,” Carlisle said. “The adrenaline of the game starts and that can help, too.
Harris wasn’t limited in practice Thursday, but noted that there weren’t a lot of contact drills. He did, however, admit to a wardrobe change.
“I changed shoes completely and got another injection [Wednesday],” Harris said. “Back to a normal size, what I was playing with before.
With Rondo now a footnote in Mavs’ history, Harris knows the Mavs don’t have time to dwell on what’s past. Particularly with the Rockets’ James Harden and Dwight Howard ready to make life miserable for Dallas again.
“We’ve been short-handed a little bit throughout the year,” Harris said. “Other guys have stepped up.
And the guys the Mavs have running the show at point guard — Barea, Felton and Harris — are left to make the best of what turned into a combustible situation with Rondo.
“Well, we’ve just got to bring high energy, we’ve got to play together, we’ve got to play with pace, we’ve got to play with discretion, we’ve got to be aggressive without being frantic,” Carlisle said. “I like our team. | 2019-04-23T14:08:19 | https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nba/dallas-mavericks/article19352880.html | [

Three Quick Approaches To Regrowing Your Pasture Grass For Happier Cows - what makes a farm successful?
Grass-fed cows produce healthier milk and beef products than cows that are fed treated grain or hay and alfalfa with added vitamin boosters, which could be laced with pesticides. If you are just starting a grass-fed beef and dairy farm, you will find out very quickly that keeping up with the grass demands for your herd goes beyond nature's ability to keep up. Here are three quick approaches to regrowing pasture grass for happier, healthier cows.
If you grew crops to feed your herd, you would rotate your crops to keep the land healthy and productive. It is the same with growing enough grass in your pastures to keep up with the appetites of your cows. Keep several large grass pastures and rotate your cows through these pastures once a week to once every other week. This will give the grass in your other pastures time to grow and grow enough grass to feed your herd when you rotate them into the next pasture.
Even with rotating pasture lands, there will be times of the year when grass feedings are impossible. For those times, you can request sod delivery. Sod usually needs to be implanted over a field to continue growing, but you are using the sod to feed your herd during the colder months when they will be in the barn most of the time and will need sustenance. You may eve stock up on a sod delivery in advance to the coming colder months, stocking and stacking your sod in the barn where other farmers stock and stack hay.
You can also use sod to revamp a tired pasture that the herd has just demolished. Sod delivery services may install the sod in your pasture for a fee, or you can choose sod pick up with your own truck and roll out the sod or lay the cut slabs of sod on your own. Just be sure to give the fresh sod a week or two to grow down into the pasture mud before letting your herd graze on it. Click here for info about sod delivery near you.
There are some types of grass that grow much faster than others. By spreading a lot of these types of grass seeds around, you can get faster growing grass that can keep your cows well-fed and content for months. Kentucky Blue Grass, ryegrass and centipede grass are all examples of fast-growing grasses that you can purchase seed for and plant to feed your herd. | 2019-04-23T00:00:18 | http://beta-aa.com/2015/10/28/three-quick-approaches-to-regrowing-your-pasture-grass-for-happier-cows/ | [

That said, the Super Bowl was another good excuse for us to invite family and friends over. Once the game was done and the kitchen was tidied, though, I got back to reading Circe by Madeline Miller. Miller's first book, Song of Achilles, was the first book I finished this year, and it was riveting. Miller's gifted writing and her intimate knowledge of the flawed characters of Greek mythology make her stories utterly fascinating. Her characters are emotionally-driven and promiscuous, but they also help us understand what it is to be human, and where our choices could lead.
The Lake House by Kate Morton: This has nothing to do with the Keanu Reeves movie that my husband humorously reminded me about when he saw this book on my shelf. Instead, it's the swift moving story of an English family's split after their toddler disappears, and the truth that begins to unravel many years later as their oldest daughter connects with a young detective to understand what happened. I'm interested in the The Lake House because of its themes of responsibility, motherhood, friendship, mystery, and guilt.
MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood: My husband finished this final book in Atwood's dystopian trilogy years ago, so it's high time I catch up to him so we can discuss it together. Atwood's novels are somber, but they simmer with creative, dark humor. A recent meal I ate at a vegan burger café reminded me of Chicky Knobs, and a friend's description of the hymns at a progressive atheist church reminded me of the fictional hymns sung by the radical environmentalist group in this MaddAddam trilogy. Dystopian novels show us how society can go terribly awry, and I love how they inspire me to take action against the wrong turns I see in our society. If you like dystopian novels like I do, you should also read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
The Brothers K by David James Duncan. Duncan is a beloved writer here in Oregon, where he's written The River Why and other stories set in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. My husband enjoyed The Brothers K. (Again, I'm trying to catch up on some of his favorite reads!) The story follows a family's course through the 50s and 60s as the sons grow into adulthood, face religious choices, and deal with the brutality of the Vietnam War. Something in the description reminds me of A River Runs Through It—poignant, tragic, and yet moving and meaningful.
Kristin Lavransdattir trilogy by Sigrid Undset (The Wreath / The Wife / The Cross) : Sagas aren't a genre that I'm typically drawn towards, but Undset won a Nobel Prize for Literature, and her Norwegian trilogy comes highly recommended by Sarah Clarkson in her autobiographical celebration of reading titled Book Girl. In summary, Kristin Lavransdattir is a headstrong heroine in Norway's dark 15th century; this tale of historic fiction recounts her early life, marriage, motherhood, and estrangement as the Black Plague spreads. I'm intrigued by all the lavish reviews!
Two From Galilee by Marjorie Holmes: I'm going to read this just before Christmas because it is a fictionalized account of Mary and Joseph's story that seems to be fairly impactful. Readers say it is well-researched and emotionally moving without being preachy or overly fictionalized.
Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry: Hannah Coulter was published more than ten years ago, but I'm hearing about it everywhere now. In this sequel to Jayber Crow, an aging and twice-widowed Hannah retells her life and reflects on her connection to the land her family has farmed. I should probably read both novels for their time-worn perspective and significant contribution to American literature, but Hannah Coulter can stand on its own too.
Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done by Laura Vanderkam: The author is a speaker, writer, and mother of four, and yet she focuses on sharing concrete principles here for lingering in life's best moments. While I don't want to bow to the idol of "getting more done,” I'd like to learn from her experience and perspective as she explains how to ensure one's life has space for the moments with the most significance.
Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport: Newport's latest book also argues that it is possible to choose a focused life in a noisy world. He's an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown and an author whose books (like Deep Work) are always well-received, so I'm sure I could pick up some sage advice on living wisely and carefully in a digitally-saturated culture.
Begotten or Made: Human Procreation and Medical Technique by Oliver O’Donovan: This is a series of fascinating and clearly argued lectures given on the topic of Christian ethics and reproductive medical technology. O’Donovan specifically focuses on the ethics of IVF procedures and the choices our societies will soon be facing, as well as those techniques that are already in practice. This was recommended by a friend for its fascinating and thoughtful arguments.
How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare by Ken Ludwig: Ludwig is a celebrated playwright who shares the practical ways that he taught his own young children Shakespeare, helping them to delight in the wit and wisdom of Shakespeare's passages. I'm reading this now and it's a quick and highly applicable read, reminding me why Shakespeare matters even to the very young, and how to make memorization enjoyable. Ludwig writes the book for teachers as well as parents, and shares free printables on his book's website.
The Brave Learner by Julie Bogart: Bogart regularly shares insightful homeschooling tips and parenting wisdom on the Brave Writer Podcast, and this book promises to funnel that wisdom into a highly practical format. Bogart focuses on answering the question of how parents can educate their children through modeling what it means to be a truly Brave Learner.
You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life by Eleanor Roosevelt: Published in 1960, Mrs. Roosevelt's collection of essays is still considered useful, wise, and informed by readers today. I'll listen with respect to what this distinguished first lady had to say.
Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover: There's a lot of buzz around this autobiographical story of a girl who was raised by a "religious nut” of a father and an extremely lax homeschooling mother who never allowed Tara to go to school—yet she managed to attain a PhD from Cambridge. A friend recommended this book to me and I cannot wait to read the author's perspective on her unusual educational path.
I haven't regularly read novels in French since my college years, partially because French novels can be harder to obtain, but also because reading in a non-native language seemed to require too much effort for an otherwise pleasurable pastime. However, I'm going to start choosing more French novels because I want to grow my language knowledge, keep pulse with French literary culture, and broaden my perspectives. For those of you who don't read in French, however, the novels below are also available in English.
Chanson Douce by Leila Slimani: This initially seems like the story of a seemingly perfect nanny who murders her charges, but the author weaves the story back into a beautiful text about family, race, and purposeful relationships. I began reading this in English (The Perfect Nanny) and realized it would be a better read in French since I kept mentally trying to translate it back to French.
Esclave vieil homme et le molosse by Patrick Chamoiseau: This the acclaimed story of a slave's escape into a Martinique rain forest filled with the spirits of former slaves. I'm excited to digest a novel so rich in Caribbean culture as it forces me to reflect more on the value of race and human dignity. The English translation of this is Slave Old Man.
The Circle of Seasons by K.C. Ireton: It seems to me that the Protestant church is showing an interest back towards the rhythms of the early church calendar. This book was written by a homeschooling mama last year and it has excellent online reviews. I am intrigued to learn more from Ireton about the Christian way of marking time.
Great Doctrines of the Bible by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: This book was recommended by our church's new pastor as a solid read to gain a deeper understanding the Bible's theology. I love the Bible itself, but I'm always open to the insight that can be gained from an educated, astute commentary.
The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard - I was gifted this book by a family member who appreciated its life-changing arguments for living an authentic Christian life. Willard is a theologian and philosopher at the University of Southern California; I will appreciate his thoughtful emphasis on discipleship.
The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Shaeffer: I love the Shaeffer's story about L’Abri, their ministry of hospitality and theology spreading worldwide from their simple Swiss chalet from the 1950s through the 1980s. Here in The Hidden Art of Homemaking, Edith describes how homemaking is essentially creative as well as meaningful. I want to learn from her experience hosting hundreds of visitors while still raising a family and maintaining a mostly peaceful, beautiful home environment.
What are you planning to read in 2019? If you've read any of the books on my list, what did you think of them? Happiness is better when shared, so I look forward to hearing your what's on your reading wish list.

A group of Netflix employees recently decided to work on an out-of-the-box project that sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. It’s a way for you to put down your remote and use expressions like eye movements and even sticking out your tongue to navigate the streaming giant’s OS, so that you can continue your binges of Bojack Horseman and Bodyguard without hardly moving a muscle.
It was part of the company’s ninth hackathon, a company-wide event held last month during which employees put their heads together and tried to work up all manner of fun, oddball and quirky ideas and projects. And this year’s certainly continued in the grandly whimsical tradition of the company’s past hackathons that have produced everything from a way to browse titles using brainwaves to the use of image recognition to help parents zero-in on problematic content to shield from kids.
The face-navigation project is one of several interesting ideas to come out of this year’s version of the hackathon. A trio of Netflix employees — Ben Hands, John Fox, Steve Henderson — posted a video you can see included at the top of this post that shows how it works. From their description of the idea, which relies on Apple’s ARKit: “We care a lot about Accessibility, so we were eager to try a hack that would allow people to navigate the iOS app just by moving their eyes,” they wrote in the YouTube video’s description.
More than 100 employees participated in this year’s hackathon at Netflix’s Los Gatos, California headquarters for two days in mid-October. Among the other ideas to come out of it was “Jump to Shark,” an add-on for the Netflix app that would let viewers of Syfy’s gloriously ridiculous Sharknado movies, which Netflix also streams, skip ahead to the best parts.
At least one non-Netflix idea also came out of the hackathon. A Netflix engineer created an app for Slack called Lunchbot, and the way it works is every morning it invites a random group of employees to eat lunch together after first automatically checking to make sure their calendars show free time at the same time. | 2019-04-20T15:09:13 | https://bgr.com/2018/11/07/netflix-hackathon-eye-controlled-navigation-ios-app/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheBoyGeniusReport+%28BGR+%7C+Boy+Genius+Report%29 | [

Riley Cavanaugh is many things, but Riley isn’t exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in über-conservative Orange County, the pressure—media and otherwise—is building up in Riley’s life.
On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley’s real identity, threatening exposure. Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created—a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in—or stand up, come out, and risk everything.

Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South.
It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women’s issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating a mixed reaction from contemporary readers and critics.
This powerful and unforgettable novel is about learning from your mistakes and learning to forgive. Told in alternating points of view, A Step Toward Falling is a poignant, hopeful, and altogether stunning work.

If your colleagues aren’t working well together, there are a few ways to change the team dynamic. Everyone — including you — should consider how they can improve three things: internal self-awareness, external self-awareness, and personal accountability.
Internal self-awareness is about understanding how your values affect your decisions. To improve, consider how your emotions and assumptions in a situation lead you to act a certain way. Resist the urge to act until you understand what’s driving you.
External self-awareness is about understanding how your actions affect other people. To improve, pay attention to how your colleagues react to things, and ask yourself (or them) what could be behind their behavior.
Personal accountability helps you asses how you are contributing to a problem. To improve, accept that you probably share some blame for what’s going wrong. Use internal and external self-awareness to think carefully about how you may need to change. | 2019-04-21T08:52:28 | http://www.fdlgroup.gr/for-a-team-to-work-smoothly-you-need-3-things/?lang=en | [

The Kowa TSN-773 77mm PROMINAR XD Spotting Scope with Angled Viewing is a scope of world-class caliber that redefines the standards of color brilliance, detail sharpness, and edge-to-edge brightness. Logically tailored to the most demanding outdoor enthusiast, every technical and ergonomic detail that went into the development of the TSN-770 & 880 series spotting scopes has been examined, perfected, or completely reinvented.
This version uses an element of XD (extra-low dispersion) glass in its construction, which greatly minimizes chromatic aberration. This greatly enhances the clarity for crystal-clear images and high color accuracy. Use of Kowa's patented C3 multi-coated optics has made it possible to increase image brightness significantly over prior-generation models. The advanced lens system of these scopes achieves minimal to zero chromatic aberration even at higher magnifications, with consistent high image brightness.
The housing is made of magnesium alloy that is designed for maximum durability and lightweight body construction. The result is a compact, ergonomic, and functional design for the die-hard enthusiast who wants only the very best.
C3 Coating is a highly reflective multi-coating of dielectrics. This allows for a much higher reflectivity than with coatings of silver or optically enhanced aluminum, offering a reflectance of 99% or higher across the entire visible spectrum. Not only does this provide bright and sharp images, but accurate color reproduction is also achieved.
The innovative inner focus system decreases image movement when focusing on objects, even single handedly. The focus system has the ability to focus from 16.4' (5 m) to infinity in two quick revolutions of the focus knob, ensuring consistent viewing.
The waterproof housing meets the rigorous standards of JIS Protection Class 7; it is also charged with dry nitrogen gas to prevent fogging.
Multiple interchangeable eyepieces are available, including 20x-60x zoom, 30x wide, and 25x LER for total versatility in the field. The eyepiece locking mechanism prevents the eyepiece from falling out or getting lost. Converters allow users to utilize eyepieces from other Kowa spotting scope series.
Quick-aiming sightline aids in object locating.
Sliding sunshade shields unnecessary light and raindrops while providing protection for the front element (which has an 82mm filter thread).
Adaptable to 35mm SLR cameras, digital cameras, and video cameras with optional accessories.
Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 16.8 x 6.75 x 6.65"
TSN-773 77mm PROMINAR XD Spotting Scope (Angled Viewing, Requires Eyepiece) is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JL from Near perfect birding scope I decided on the 773 over the 883 mainly because of the ligher weight and slightly smaller size, but there is a significant price difference as well. I use only the 30X eyepiece and it's excellent. I prefer the wide easy view of the 30X over the zoom and it shows you all the detail you need to see 95% of the time. For me the trade off is worth it. Materials, appearance and image quality are all first rate. The only minor knock is that the coarse focus is a bit stiff, though I expect that will change with more use. The size, weight, optical quality and ease of use make this a near perfect birding scope. Optically the 773 has been rated equal to or above all but the 88mm Kowas, and considering that it's actually something of a bargain.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from TSN-773 quite impressive I just received the Kowa a few days ago. I have used it to view eagles from distances of 100 yards to 500 yards away. The air was crisp and clear and I was able to compare to my smaller 50mm 12x-36x scope (not Kowa) as well as my Canon 5d mkII with 100-400mm zoom and 1.4x teleconverter combo. I know...not apples to apples, but I figure it might be interesting comparison for photographers or for owners of budget scopes to compare to a high end scope. First off, the economical 50mm 12x-36x is very nice at 12x in good light. That is where it ends though. Zooming into the 24x-36x range or viewing things in low light are simply not that great. The loss of sharpness and brightness as you zoom makes you want to just view everything at 12x. It seems you get what you pay for. For the money though, it is good optics at 12x and will fit easily in a backpack so light as if it wasn't even there. Next the Kowa 773. Wow. superb sharpness through the entire 20x-60x zoom range and hardly a noticeable decrease in light at the 60x range. Very quality feel and construction. Make sure you have a sturdy tripod because 60x magnification will show any vibration. Sharpness is perfect edge to edge and so much brighter than the little 50mm 12x. but you do pay considerably more for the Kowa and it is bigger and heavier. The detail on an eagle at 60x at 200 yards is so impressive, you can see every feather distinctly as if you were standing next to it. Compared to the 50mm at 36x....well there is no comparison. Next the Canon setup. My pictures are fantastic, make no mistake, but looking through the viewfinder is dark and fuzzy by comparison at 560mm (400mm w/1.4x), which is not even close to the magnification of the Kowa at 20x. The Kowa is much brighter and sharper and a bigger image to look at.
Rated 5 out of 5 by G.Gatsby from Middle weight price, heavy weight performance This scope punches way above its price range. Highly resolved images at almost all magnifications using the Kowa eyepieces. Sharp edge to edge. Pretty bright too for a 77 mm lens. Rugged construction. Best thing I like is the ease of focusing. The quick and fine focus coaxially mounted are super smooth. One finger operation.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Better than the best..... I use the scope for spotting game and in the 300 meters shooting range. I was thinking on buying an European one because a need a very crispy optic to see the holes that 6,5mm bullets makes on the paper, and this scope is perfect .
Rated 5 out of 5 by winnie from The View for You The Scope & eyepiece make a super combo! However, we purchased the optional KOWA TSN-EX16 Extender - pricey. But we can't mount it. In-order to mount it, you have to remove a collar from the body, and it will not come off. An E-mail inquiry to KOWA is 'lost in space' - no reply for a month.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 6 FATRAT from World class scope NRA H.P, shooter, big game hunter. Superior optics reasonable weight.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kropp from Great scope I have one of these for work (bird surveys) and I've always been impressed with it. I understand it's not as good as the larger version, but its about $1,000 cheaper, and still has amazing brightness/resolution. The "work scope" I purchased has one of the 30x wide angle eyepieces that are no longer available. When I went to purchase one for myself, I wasn't happy that the 30x eyepiece was no longer available, since I was very impressed with the performance and it's amazing for eyeglass wearers. The zoom eyepiece is very expensive, but I went with that, since the only other option is a 25X eyepiece now, and I wanted the option of a little more magnification for personal use for birding. I've only owned my personal scope with the zoom eyepiece for a few weeks now, but I have to say the new zoom eyepiece is very impressive. At 25X and 30X (even a bit above) it is Extremely sharp, though it doesn't have the wide angle at 30X as the previous single magnification 30x eyepiece.

Members of the South African Police Service in Witbank are looking for three unknown men who attacked a couple at the gate of their farm, apparently trying to hijack their vehicle on Friday 8 February 2019 around 21:40. Information at police disposal revealed that the couple and their three children were in their vehicle, a Toyota Hilux bakkie at the gate of their farm (Seekoeiwater farm), near the N4 highway.
The victim, a 45 year old man reportedly alighted from the vehicle to open the gate when suddenly the trio emerged from nowhere and one of them shot him in the thigh.
His wife tried to get on the driver’s side of the vehicle but was also shot by the same suspect on the arm and in the back. She somehow managed to get his husband back in the car and they all drove away from the scene. The suspects also fled the scene on foot. | 2019-04-23T15:54:08 | https://southafricatoday.net/south-africa-news/mpumalanga/witbank-farm-attack-shot-pregnant-woman-immediately-gave-birth/ | [

Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Hon. Anthony Hylton (left), accepts a copy of the book, ‘Jamaica’s Nutraceuticals: Opening the Door to their Potential’ from co-author, Dr. Henry Lowe. The presentation was made at the launch of the National Nutraceutical Industry on March 5, at Hope Gardens, in St. Andrew.
Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Hon. Anthony Hylton, says Jamaica stands to benefit from the establishment of a nutraceutical industry through increased earnings and job creation.
The Minister was addressing the launch of the National Nutraceutical Industry on March 6, at Hope Gardens, St. Andrew.
Nutraceuticals are food or food products that are purported to provide health and medical benefits, including the prevention and treatment of diseases.
“The development of these industries will allow us to move towards a stronger and more prosperous Jamaica, one characterised by increased foreign exchange earnings and increased employment, and improved social and economic well-being of all persons involved,” Minister Hylton said.
Nutraceuticals are food or food products that are purported to provide health and medical benefits, including the prevention and treatment of diseases. Jamaica is home to more than 80 plants, which are said to have these benefits.
Parliament has passed legislation to provide for regulation, through the granting of licenses, to permit the development of a lawful industry for medical ganja and industrial hemp.
Minister Hylton urged investors to make quality the main element in all the products that they manufacture, as both the local and international markets will not settle for anything less.
He said the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) has undertaken work to create a roadmap to chart standards development of industries in the nutraceutical sector.
The Minister informed that the Jamaica Intellectual Property Office (JIPO) will be playing a key role in protecting creations in the industry.
The agency will be examining the intellectual rights of the Rastafarian community, in respect of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions, with the assistance of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). | 2019-04-24T02:53:41 | https://jis.gov.jm/nutraceutical-industry-boost-earnings-job-creation-minister-hylton/ | [

Author: Zimmermann, Michael; Kaiser, Georg A.
This paper sets out to contribute to the debate on the morpho-syntactic status of phonologically weak or clitic subject pronouns in Colloquial French by discussing finite impersonal constructions in which the expletive subject pronoun is non expressed. The paper provides arguments against an approach in terms of inflectional affixes, showing that the non-expression of this pronoun is in fact syntactically restricted. On the basis of the further finding that the non-expression of the expletive represents the continuation of a grammatical trait of older stages of the language in which the non-expression of subject pronouns was generally possible, a tentative proposal is put forward which crucially draws on information structure. | 2019-04-21T09:08:48 | http://kops.uni-konstanz.de/handle/123456789/25675 | [

(Nanowerk News) The Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech), a research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and the National University of Singapore (NUS) Faculty of Engineering inked an agreement today to launch two joint research labs in precision motion systems and industrial robotics. This collaboration brings together the local research community to build capabilities and develop technologies to boost productivity and gear up for high value manufacturing in the medtech, aerospace, marine & offshore and precision engineering clusters.
The Joint Labs are launched in conjunction with a new A*STAR Industrial Robotics Research programme. This programme brings together researchers from SIMTech, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), NUS, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and other local and overseas universities and research institutes for multi-disciplinary collaboration. The programme builds on existing robotics capabilities across the local research community, and aims to advance the performance and capability of robotic platforms for industry adoption to improve productivity.
The manufacturing industry is a significant pillar of the Singapore economy and contributes close to a quarter of its GDP. The Joint Labs will develop technologies and capabilities to improve workforce productivity in the medtech, aerospace, marine & offshore and the precision engineering clusters where automation is currently lower compared to automotive and semiconductor manufacturing. The Joint Labs aim to boost automation in such industry clusters, by enhancing the capability, performance, and intelligence of precision machines and robotic systems to allow for higher throughput, higher accuracy, and greater human-machine cooperation on unstructured manufacturing shop-floors. In addition to delivering cutting-edge technologies, the Joint Labs will serve as platforms to nurture R&D manpower for the industry, transforming them into centres of excellence in their respective technical areas to benefit more industry sectors.
In recent years, the industry is facing problems such as increasing labour costs, lack of skilled labour and low productivity.
For industrial robotics, an easy-to-use human-robot interface, with more than 50 per cent reduction in teaching and programming time compared to current robotic programming platforms, will be developed to propagate the application of robots in manufacturing. For the aerospace industry, characterised by large work pieces, high precision and better surface finishing, the Joint Labs aim to develop a reconfigurable robot work cell for flexible redeployment. It is projected that the marine & offshore industry can benefit from more than 50 per cent productivity improvement in robotic welding and weld inspection systems.
In the area of precision motion systems, the technologies for high-speed and high-precision linear motion stages, wide-format roll-to-roll machines, and multi-axis nanopositioning systems will be developed. These will help local companies build high-end machines and complex equipment for high value manufacturing. | 2019-04-23T10:22:10 | https://www.nanowerk.com/news2/robotics/newsid=31527.php | [

It’s no secret that Indianapolis Public Schools has more buildings than it can fill. It now looks as if many of these schools will indeed close.
The current situation has been exacerbated by the decision to remove middle schools and shift to a strictly high school model for existing IPS schools.
According to WFYI, IPS Superintendent Lewis Ferebee said Tuesday in an interview that basically Indianapolis has too many High Schools for the number of students they serve.
“We have so many high schools. The enrollment at the high school level does not call for the number of high schools we have now, especially when we have high schools that serve grades 9-12,” said Ferebee. | 2019-04-22T04:47:46 | https://indy.education/2016/08/04/2016-8-4-ips-may-close-underutilized-schools/ | [

I am getting ready to start another character, since the gnome is almost done. If I am successful, I am thinking about possibly getting some of these actually printed for framing. My history is web stuff, so I am clueless as to where to start.
My gnome is 2.75in x 5.513in at 300dpi. How big could I probably get him printed out before I start losing clarity?
I've heard that 300 dpi is about where you want to be, assuming your printer can handle it. I used to work at a newspaper, and that's about the dpi they used. In other words, print it at the size you've got it and let us know how it works.
it all depends on where and with what you output your image, of course. 300ppi (pixels per inch) is more then reasonable for most printers (even if the printer says it does 600-1200dpi [dots per inch]). But if you are using a true high quality printer, then you might find you want to go larger. The problem is, if you are at 600ppi to cover a 600dpi printer and your image print size is 11" x 17" (which isn't all that large), you might be surprised to find out what the file size ends up at.
Are you printing these off yourself, or sending them somewhere? Let us know what results you come up with!
How many dots in a halftone screen. For example, you've seen newspaper pictures with visibly big dots? These newspaper images are only at about 60-100 dpi, which just means how many dots per a given inch. A magazine photograph on the otherhand is usually about 2500 dpi, a very fine screen. If you use a magnifying glass you can see the very fine dots.
How many lines per inch. The same newspaper photo above is typically only 85 lpi, while a magazine photo is at about 150-175 lpi; again very fine.
How many pixels per inch. Now we're talking computer or digitized imagry. A Web image is at 72 ppi, a magazine photo is at about 300 ppi.
The resolution you need for your "print" depends on the type of printing you'll be doing. If you are printing for magazine publications, or limited edition prints, you want your ppi to be at 300 and your lpi to be at 150-175 or so. So if your original digital image physically measures 2.75 x 5.5 at 300 ppi, then I would only print at that actual size. You could resample the image in Photoshop, but I would not go more than 1.5x the physical size while maintaining the 300 ppi since the program has to fill-in or interpolate colors that are not really there.
If you have started with a vector image in a drawing program however, you could scale it up by clicking and dragging to any size, then "rasterize" at 300 ppi in Photoshop with no loss in quality.
If you will be printing one of these out on a less expensive inkjet printer, then I would print at 1200 dpi with approx. 250 ppi and lpi of about 120-150.
The very best bet is to speak to the print company you'll be using to print your piece. Ask them the process they use, the output settings you should use, and the file format they prefer (I would highly recommend not using jpg format, but tiff or eps instead for printing, since jpg is a "lossy" format, you'll lose pixels.) Once you have the numbers in hand, you can decide how big you can print your image optimally.
This can all be a bit confusing but is really very simple once you get a handle on resolution vs. quality vs. type of printing method used.
If I can get something that looks presentable to hang on my "art wall" I will be happy. I have some graphite drawings there sitting lonely. Since a good part of my work is on the computer, it would be nice to have it represented there as well. It's fun to look at them and see how much progress I have made from "day 1" to "yesterday".
I lost an entire 4 gig drive of art. That is another reason it would be nice to get some of this printed up. It would have been nice to have something to show for all the work I put in.
Again, Thank you for all the information!
dpi, lpi, ppi etc is quite a complex area. (made worse by the fact that some of these terms were used differently 'before PC').
Standard Epson (inks) can fade pretty quickly, but there are more specialist inks and papers that can be used in these printers to give longer life. | 2019-04-18T20:54:08 | http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-11657.html | [

A few publishers have figured out my weakness for nature stories or those involving animals in their natural habitats. I've only ever lived in cities, where the wildlife happens indoors, and my natural habitat is pretty much confined to this desk. I enjoy a good jaunt outdoors if only vicariously via picture books.
One of the publishers I've adopted is Stonehorse, a newish upstart whose marine biology books blend scientific accuracy and captivating stories. Dizzy's the third effort for both publisher and author, which this time features a speedy, Pacific white-sided dolphin.
Not that I'd know any particular species of dolphin from a can of tuna, but Dizzy's a cheerful addition to the pantheon of loveable sea critters. If I'm reminded of the sharks in "Finding Nemo" who sneeringly dissed their cutesy rivals, it's only because middle age makes me cynical. I usually want to bite someone that smiley.
Fortunately, the whip-fast Dizzy gets a little less happy as he exhausts himself trying to catch up with a "fish herder" -- a sea lion who rounds up the catch of the day for the other carnivores. Along the way he learns a bit more about his friends' varied ocean habitats in cheery rhyming couplets.
This isn't one of those "and then evil humans messed everything up" story, so it feels almost a little too upbeat. A few toothy sharks would've helped. I might've liked to see Dizzy working at something more than his next meal, as Nyikos did so ably with an earlier story about a small shark who saves the day from, well, evil humans.
Even so, kids love dolphins and we love kids, and books like this always whet the appetite for a trip to the aquarium. If you're in Chicago, catch Nyikos at the Shedd Aquarium's gift shop on May 26 from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
This is great! I've just started a little review-blog myself, but not so much for picture books. With a toddler in the house, and my first picture book out next year, I'll be back for sure to get some badly-needed advice on what to buy! | 2019-04-24T15:01:56 | https://dadtalk.typepad.com/book_buds_kidlit_reviews/2007/05/dizzyby_stacy_a.html | [

Hi there! My name is Alyx Flott and I am a fourth year Forestry, Fisheries, & Wildlife major with a specialization in Forestry and Wildlife. Throughout high school I attended Forestry & Wildlife Conservation Camp where I developed a love for Ohio’s plants and animals both. This inspired me to pursue the field of study here at the Ohio State University. | 2019-04-25T16:03:09 | https://goodyera.ohioplants.org/ | [

God, admission of my personal sinfulness and desire to set myself free from it.
The outer aspect of prayer is as necessary as the inner one. Both serve to express a person’s spiritual experience. Christian prayer is traditionally accompanied by visible signs of reverence: bowing one’s head, raising one’s hands to heaven, and kneeling. Movement and gesture add to and deepen the words and assist in inner concentration.
The most important physical expression of prayer is the sign of the cross, which usually accompanies prayer and is a preface to a bow from the waist or a prostration. For Christians, the fullness of the spiritual world is the cross-centered love of Christ for man, of God for the world; therefore, the visible sign of this love, Christ’s cross, is the weapon which is the redemption and union of man with God, the mystery of salvation, completed by Christ the Lord. The sign of the cross is ontological. It bears witness to a different reality, to the existence in this world of another life. It seems that especially this ancient Christian sign, inseparably connected with all that Tolstoy had rejected, should have been totally excluded from his inner experience. But it is here that begins one of the “unsolved mysteries” of his soul, his unresolvable contradictions which elude rational interpretation.
For those familiar with Tolstoy’s life and the tragedy of his estrangement from the Orthodox Church, one would assume that this ancient Christian gesture, linked with everything Tolstoy had renounced, should have been utterly rejected by him.
A man of common sense, in his opinion, cannot accept the deliberate deceit and nonsense which compel him to light candles, to raise his hands in prayer, to kiss pieces of wood, etc., but not once did Tolstoy express the opinion that making the sign of the cross was merely a senseless “waving of hands” during prayer.
The symbols of worship and ritual, in his opinion, hindered true faith, leaving no room for the understanding of actual Christianity, which dwells within. If there are some actions which please God and redeem a person from evil, and they must be expressed by the bowing and raising of hands, asks Tolstoy, then why not use legs or feet? Isn’t a pilgrimage performed by the faithful considered a prayer performed with feet? And if a person works all day for a poor widow, couldn’t this be considered a form of prayer? Tolstoy answers these questions in the affirmative.
In this way, following Tolstoy’s logic, a mature person, especially by the age of “noble gray hair,” should have moved beyond all assumptions and superstitions.
But within Tolstoy himself, despite his theory, totally different changes occurred. In the last years of his life, his attitude to the rites of the Church softened noticeably. As Alexandra Lvovna, Tolstoy’s daughter, remembered, “he became more and more tolerant.” In 1906, during a difficult time for Tolstoy’s wife, Sofia Andreyevna, when she was close to death and had already called for a priest, Tolstoy did not object. He was sincerely glad about her wish and “enthusiastically assisted in fulfilling” it.
His steadfast conviction that true faith does not need “external forms,” in the face of the possible death of the person closest too him and he admitted that, within the religious form, is a spiritual foundation. This brings to mind the literary character in Anna Karenina of Konstantin Levin, the author’s brother-in-spirit, who, during an hour critical for his beloved Kitty, grabbed his own head, repeating, “Lord, have mercy!” All of Levin’s reasonable, doubting consciousness was instantly “flung from his soul like ashes” and his unbelieving mind prayed for the help of the One, in Whose hands he “sensed himself and his own soul.” As the saying goes: “The deeper the sorrow, the closer God is.” And He who is above life and death, Who is Himself merciful Love, responds to the prayer of the supplicant.
Perhaps Tolstoy understood that all human accomplishment, all of the creative beauty of religion, is not an accident, that it all emerges from an earthly passion for Heaven, from a surrender to God, from spiritual completeness, from a pure and loving heart. Love is a synonym for God; there cannot be anything unclean in it. Even the least perfect and poorly expressed manifestation of love draws to itself what is higher and more creative. “As we become accustomed to crossing ourselves, saying the words of prayer,” wrote Tolstoy, “so we should and must become accustomed to love....” Love widens the senses, transforms them into words, into song, into the beauty of flowing prayer.
The return of Tolstoy to Orthodox prayers (in his last years he regularly said the prayers “Lord, and Master of my life” and “O Heavenly King, O Comforter”) is the return of the artist to beauty. The crystals of spiritual beauty which had been polished for centuries could not but attract the sensitive artist. This was a return to form as well, to that “outward form” which he might find rude, but which he could not avoid sensing in his favorite poems, the work of Tyuchev and Fet, and in the simple, laconic peasants’ speech, in the prayers of praise read before the decorated icons.
Sukhotin was shocked: the author of Resurrection crosses himself and reads Orthodox prayers! What is this? The habits kept from childhood, or a new spiritual revolution? But there had been no radical change in his views; every year, something emerged from his pen which was new, bright and unique. Outwardly, Tolstoy remained the same: proud, angry, and rebellious. But what seemed mysterious to his “dark,” ideology-driven followers was quite understandable to his domestic circle.
On December 8, 1908, Sofia Andreyevna made an interesting entry in her diary: “I would like to write down that which I have accidentally overheard. Chertkov [leader of the ‘Tolstoyan’ movement], who visits us every day, came into Lev Nikolayevich’s room last night and spoke with him concerning the sign of the cross. Involuntarily, from the hallway I overheard their conversation. L.N. said that he sometimes by habit does the sign of the cross, that is, if his soul is not praying in that minute, then his body is making a visible sign of prayer. Chertkov answered: it might happen that, while dying or suffering intensely, Lev Nikolayevich will cross himself and those surrounding will think that he has converted or would like to return to Orthodoxy; but to prevent this, Chertkov would write down in his notebook every word Lev Nikolayevich would say from now on.
Chertkov, of course, understood what the conversation was really about. Both in his diaries and in his letters Tolstoy did not hide that he had preserved in himself Orthodox “superstition,” and in his most intimate minutes of communication with God he turned to that “primitive expression” of his closeness with Him. Sofya Andreyevna, with her female intuition and inner experience, was able to perfectly comprehend the spiritual suffering of her husband and also to regard Chertkov’s thought processes as overly simplistic. “What for the mind is covered with darkness, for the heart is visible from afar,” a poet has said correctly. Would it really be possible for the words in a notebook to be an adequate expression of a human being’s world – a world, full of aspirations and efforts, full of life and rich in a variety of opinions and attitudes? Could a higher source, which the heart in its fulness recognizes, with its sensory and extra-sensory perceptions, be comprehended by cold rationality? The reformer from Yasnaya Polyana could not entirely free himself from “naive superstitions” and purge his former faith from his heart, just as he could not radically change the Christian way of thinking instilled in his soul by God-loving aunties with their patriarchal mode of existence.
“It may be that while I am dying, my hand will make the sign of the cross.... Even now, I sometimes cross myself. Often, when I sit down to work, with this gesture I invoke within myself a tender religious mood which is connected with the gesture since childhood,” Tolstoy wrote to one of his correspondents three years prior to his death. That far-from-unconscious childish gesture forced him to return to that “happy, irretrievable time” when the young Nikolenka secretly watched the prayer of “the great peasant Grisha.” Grisha was a holy fool who sometimes wandered about Tolstoy’s parent’s estate and even entered the mansion itself and “gave little icons to those he took a fancy to.” He recalled his first confession, when his young soul was filled with a feeling of blessed awe, and the times when, facing ancient icons, his childish lips murmured the words of prayer repeating them after his dear papa.
He grieved for the lost “paradise of childhood,” for that golden time, when everything was perceived as a miracle, when with naive directness, his soul responded to the call of God and glimpsed the eternity of God, which set him aflame. | 2019-04-22T19:25:53 | https://incommunion.org/2011/02/20/tolstoy-and-the-sign-of-the-cross/ | [

Against the odds, Auburn Smith, 16, has become a nationally ranked wheelchair tennis player. She will participate in the USTA-ITF Junior Wheelchair Tennis Camp.
PORT ORANGE — Auburn Smith was born into sports.
Her first name largely derives from her father's love of Auburn University, where he has attended football games since childhood.
“She loves it when we go to the football games and they're chanting her name,” said Jimmy Smith, her father.
She was also born with spina bifida, the most common permanently disabling birth defect in the United States, according to the Spina Bifida Association. Literally meaning “split spine” in Latin, spina bifida occurs when a baby is in the womb and the spinal column does not close all the way.
Across the United States, roughly eight babies are born with spina bifida or a similar defect of the brain and spine every day.
Against the odds, Smith, 16, has become a nationally ranked wheelchair tennis player. She will participate in the USTA-ITF Junior Wheelchair Tennis Camp in Mission Viejo, Calif. from July 28-Aug. 2.
32 athletes from ages 12-18 from across the globe, spanning 10 states and six countries, will attend the camp to improve their skills and receive instruction from some of the top coaches in the world.
This will be the Smith family's fifth straight summer trip to Southern California.
Smith primarily enjoys getting to see the friends she has made over the last five years. The campers spend virtually the entire six-day period together, including an annual trip to a theme park.
Dan James, the USTA's national head coach and national manager of wheelchair tennis, will be one of the primary instructors at the camp. Even though he has coached in four Paralympic games, he says the camp is his favorite week of the year.
The soon-to-be junior at Spruce Creek began playing tennis at the age of 7. Since then, she has worked with Nancy Olson, who runs the "Tennis Everyone!" program for Easter Seals of Volusia Flagler Counties.
Olson helped Smith gain exposure across the country since, in her opinion, Florida is not recognized as a wheelchair tennis hotbed.
“I wanted her to have the example of how good she could be and to see really good tennis,” said Olson, a two-time Paralympic silver medalist in wheelchair tennis.
Smith was named a National Youth Representative for Easter Seals on Oct. 25, 2012, becoming the first national representative from the Easter Seals affiliate in Volusia and Flagler counties.
Not only has Smith had a positive influence on others with disabilities but also with her own family. Jimmy gave up a job in business management to become a registered nurse in honor of Auburn. | 2019-04-25T20:24:17 | https://www.news-journalonline.com/news/20130726/spruce-creek-rising-junior-will-attend-national-wheelchair-tennis-camp | [

Lien Claimants attempted to collect on valid judgments they hold against Iran for their injuries arising out of terrorism sponsored by Iran. Lien Claimants seek to attach a $2.8 million judgment that the Ministry obtained in an underlying arbitration with an American company, Cubic. The district court granted Lien Claimants’ motion to attach the Cubic Judgment. The court held that the United States does not violate its obligations under the Algiers Accords by permitting Lien Claimants to attach the Cubic Judgment. The court also held that the Cubic Judgment is a blocked asset pursuant to President Obama’s 2012 Executive Order No. 13359 subject to attachment and execution under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA), 28 U.S.C. 1610 note. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.

Smith, Chief Counsel, Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury, Washington D.C, for Amicus Curiae United States. 4 MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM OPINION D.W. NELSON, Senior Circuit Judge: This case involves an attempt by ten American citizens (hereinafter Lien Claimants) to collect on valid judgments they hold against the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran) for their injuries arising out of terrorism sponsored by Iran. The Lien Claimants seek to attach a $2.8 million judgment1 that the Ministry of Defense of Iran (the Ministry) obtained in an underlying arbitration with an American company, Cubic Defense Systems, Inc (Cubic). The district court granted Lien Claimants’ motion to attach the Cubic Judgment. The Ministry timely appealed. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.2 1 With accrued interest and the addition of attorneys’ fees, over $9.4 million is available. We refer to the underlying judgment as the “Cubic Judgment.” 2 The district court stayed disbursement of funds to Lien Claimants pending the outcome of the Ministry’s appeal. At oral argument, the Ministry requested that this Court maintain the stay of disbursement pending the Ministry’s petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court. We decline the Ministry’s request. The Ministry has not shown “both a probability of success on the merits and the possibility of irreparable injury,” or “that serious legal questions are raised and that the balance of hardships tips sharply in its favor.” Cf. Lopez v. Heckler, 713 F.2d 1432, 1435 (9th Cir. 1983). MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM 5 I. Background Like all foreign states, Iran is protected by sovereign immunity. See Saudi Arabia v. Nelson, 507 U.S. 349, 355 (1993) (“A foreign state is presumptively immune from suit in United States’ courts.”). Absent an exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1602–1611, a foreign state cannot be sued nor can its assets be attached to satisfy a judgment.3 Saudi Arabia, 507 U.S. at 355. One such exception is for claims arising out of state-sponsored terrorism. 28 U.S.C. § 1605A. The Lien Claimants hold judgments against Iran based on terrorist activity that Iran sponsored. Claimant France M. Rafii’s father, Dr. Shapoir Bakhtiar, was a former prime minister of Iran. In 1991, Iranian agents murdered Dr. Bakhtiar in his home in Paris, France, because of his political opposition to the Islamic regime. In 2001, Rafii sued Iran under the state-sponsored terrorism exception to the FSIA. Iran did not appear. The district court conducted a two-day bench trial and entered default judgment against Iran for $5 million in compensatory damages (after making the necessary factual, jurisdictional, and statutory findings). The Ministry does not dispute the validity of the judgment. 3 The Ministry of Defense is an inseparable part of the Republic of Iran, and it therefore qualifies as a “foreign state” within the meaning of the FSIA. Ministry of Def. & Support for Armed Forces of Islamic Republic of Iran v. Cubic Def. Sys., Inc., 495 F.3d 1024, 1034–36 (9th Cir. 2007), rev'd on other grounds sub nom. Ministry of Def. & Support for the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran v. Elahi, 556 U.S. 366 (2009). 6 MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM In 1997, Hamas detonated a suicide bomb at a pedestrian mall in Jerusalem, injuring many American citizens. The Rubin Claimants are a group of nine individuals who either were themselves injured in the bombing, or whose relatives were injured. In 2001, the Rubin Claimants sued Iran for its part in the bombing under the state-sponsored terrorism exception to the FSIA. Iran did not appear. The district court conducted a four-day evidentiary hearing and concluded that Iran provided terrorist training and other material assistance to the bombers. After evaluating all of the Rubin Claimants’ compensatory damages, based on each plaintiff’s injuries, the district court entered default judgment against Iran and ordered Iran to pay the damages ranging from $2.5 million to $15 million. The Ministry does not dispute the validity of the judgment. Despite these valid judgments against Iran, Lien Claimants initially lacked any means to collect because the state-sponsored terrorism exception to the FSIA created an anomaly. While the exception abrogated a foreign sovereign’s immunity from judgment, it left in place the foreign sovereign’s immunity from attachment of its assets. In 2002, Congress addressed this problem, enacting the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA), Pub. L. No. 107–297, § 201, 116 Stat. 2322, 2337 (codified in relevant part at 28 U.S.C. § 1610 note). As originally enacted, section 201(a) provides: Notwithstanding any other provision of law . . . , in every case in which a person has obtained a judgment against a terrorist party on a claim based upon an act of terrorism, or for which a terrorist party is not immune MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM 7 under [28 U.S.C. § 1605(a)(7) (2000)], the blocked assets of that terrorist party (including the blocked assets of any agency or instrumentality of that terrorist party) shall be subject to execution or attachment in aid of execution in order to satisfy such judgment to the extent any compensatory damages for which such terrorist party has been adjudged liable. “Blocked” assets include assets “seized or frozen by the United States” under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701–1706. See TRIA § 201(d)(2). The TRIA therefore permits attachment when it might have otherwise been barred by the FSIA.4 In 1977, Cubic agreed to sell the Ministry an air combat maneuvering range system (ACMR) for $17 million. Additionally, under a separate service contract, Cubic agreed to maintain the ACMR for Iran. By October 1978, Iran had paid over $12 million of the purchase price and modest sums on the service contract. By February 1979, Cubic obtained export permits and was poised to transfer the equipment to Iran. 4 Congress amended the FSIA as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Pub. L. No. 110–181, 122 Stat. 3 (2008). Specifically, Congress replaced the terrorism exception to sovereign immunity that had been codified at 28 U.S.C. § 1605(a)(7) with a new terrorism exception codified at 28 U.S.C. § 1605A. The new exception provides an explicit private right of action for U.S. citizens injured by state sponsors of terrorism. In addition, Congress created a special attachment provision for plaintiffs holding a Section 1605A judgment against a foreign state. See 28 U.S.C. §1610(g). 8 MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM But, by November 1979, the Iranian revolution had disrupted relations between Iran and the United States. The revolution permanently prevented full performance of the sales and maintenance contracts. Iran and Cubic eventually entered into a modified agreement, under which Cubic would attempt to sell the ACMR to another country. Depending on the result of Cubic’s attempt to resell the ACMR, either Iran would be entitled to partial reimbursement for payments it made to Cubic, or Cubic would be entitled to additional payment from Iran. In the Fall of 1982, Cubic sold the equipment to Canada but ignored Iran’s requests for an accounting. In 1991, pursuant to its contracts with Cubic, Iran initiated arbitration proceedings with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). In 1997, the ICC found that Iran and Cubic agreed to discontinue the acquisition and maintenance contracts in light of the revolution, and that they had reached a modified agreement permitting Cubic to sell the equipment to another country. The ICC held that Cubic owed Iran $2.8 million plus interest and costs. In 1998, the Ministry filed a petition to confirm the arbitration award. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California confirmed the award. It entered the Cubic Judgment in August 1999. After the final resolution of this dispute, Cubic deposited funds covering the Cubic Judgment with the Southern District of California. The Lien Claimants moved to attach the Cubic Judgment. The Ministry opposed Lien Claimants’ attempts, arguing: (1) that the Algiers Accords, by which the United States and Iran resolved the Iranian Hostage Crisis, required the United MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM 9 States to protect the Cubic Judgment from attachment; and (2) that the Cubic Judgment was in any event not attachable under the TRIA or any other statute. The district court granted Lien Claimants’ motion to attach. It held that allowing attachment would not violate the United States’ obligations under the Algiers Accords because the United States committed only to restore Iran to its preNovember 1979 position. As of 1979, the district court explained, Iran did not have an interest in the confirmed arbitration award. The district court further held that the Cubic Judgment was a “blocked asset” within the meaning of the TRIA. The court reasoned that the Cubic Judgment was blocked pursuant to President Obama’s 2012 Executive Order No. 13359, as well as pursuant to President Bush’s 2005 Executive Order No. 13382. It therefore found that the Cubic Judgment was subject to attachment under the TRIA. In the alternative, the district court held that the Rubin Claimants could attach the Cubic Judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 1610(g), the special attachment provision of the FSIA for creditors holding a Section 1605A terrorism-related judgment against a foreign state. II. Standard of Review We review the district court’s interpretation of treaties, statutes, regulations, and executive orders de novo. See Motorola, Inc. v. Fed. Express Corp., 308 F.3d 995, 999, n.5 (9th Cir. 2002) (treaties); City of Los Angeles v. United States Dep’t of Commerce, 307 F.3d 859, 868 (9th Cir. 2002) (statutes); United States v. Willfong, 274 F.3d 1297, 1300 (9th 10 MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM Cir. 2001) (regulations); United States v. Washington, 969 F.2d 752, 754–55 (9th Cir. 1992) (executive orders). III. Discussion We hold that the United States does not violate its obligations under the Algiers Accords by permitting Lien Claimants to attach the Cubic Judgment. We also hold that the Cubic Judgment is a blocked asset pursuant to President Obama’s 2012 Executive Order No. 13359 subject to attachment and execution under the TRIA. Because it is not necessary to our decision, we do not address whether the Cubic Judgment is also a blocked asset pursuant to President Bush’s 2005 Executive Order No. 13382. Similarly, we decline to address the district court’s alternative holding that the Rubin Claimants can attach the Cubic Judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 1610(g). 1. Permitting Lien Claimants to attach the Cubic Judgment does not violate the United States’ obligations under the Algiers Accords. The Algiers Accords do not prevent Lien Claimants from attaching the Cubic Judgment because the Ministry’s interest in the Cubic Judgment did not arise until after November 14, 1979. As the Supreme Court specifically held in Ministry of Defense & Support for the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran v. Elahi, the appropriate property interest to consider is Iran’s interest in the Cubic Judgment, which did not arise until 1998. 556 U.S. 366, 376–77 (2009). In November 1979, Iran took hostages at the American Embassy in Tehran. Invoking the International Emergency MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM 11 Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), President Carter responded by issuing Executive Order 12170, which “blocked all property and interests in property of the Government of Iran.” Exec. Order 12170, 44 Fed. Reg. 65729 (Nov. 14, 1979).5 The Department of Treasury promulgated the Iranian Assets Control Regulations to execute President Carter’s Executive Order. 31 C.F.R. pt. 535, 44 Fed. Reg. 65279–01 (Nov. 15, 1979). The Regulations provide that “[n]o property subject to the jurisdiction of the United States or which is in the possession or control of persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States in which on or after the effective date Iran has any interest of any nature whatsoever may be transferred, paid, exported, or withdrawn or otherwise dealt in except as authorized.” 31 C.F.R. § 535.201 (2013). The freeze took effect on November 14, 1979. On January 19, 1981, the United States and Iran settled the hostage crisis and entered into the Algiers Accords. The United States agreed to “restore the financial position of Iran, in so far as possible, to that which existed prior to November 14, 1979.” The purpose of the Algiers Accords was to return Iran to the position it was in before President Carter froze Iran’s assets in response to the taking of hostages at the American Embassy. In essence, the Ministry argues that based on a number of factors—most importantly, $12 million in payments Iran made to Cubic on the $17 million sales contract—Iran had a 5 Under the IEEPA, the President can impose economic sanctions to respond to “unusual and extraordinary” international threats. 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701, 1702(a). These sanctions are administered by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). 12 MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM property interest in the ACMR before November 14, 1979. Therefore, according to the Ministry, for the United States to honor its commitments under the Algiers Accords, it must protect the Cubic Judgment from attachment. But, under the Supreme Court’s decision in Elahi, when Iran gained a property interest in the ACMR is irrelevant to our inquiry. Elahi involved an attempt by a different lien claimant to attach the Cubic Judgment under the TRIA.6 The Supreme Court rejected this Court’s determination that the ACMR was the relevant asset at issue. In so holding, the Court explained that the lien claimants in that case did not seek to attach the ACMR, but instead tried to attach the “judgment enforcing [the] arbitration award based upon Cubic’s failure to account to Iran for Iran’s share of the proceeds of that system’s sale.” Elahi, 556 U.S. at 376. The Court explained that Iran’s interest in the Cubic Judgment did not arise until 1998, when the district court confirmed the arbitration award. Id. Further, the Supreme Court explained, even Iran’s property interest underlying the Cubic Judgment—the proceeds from the sale to Canada—did not arise until October 1982 at the earliest. Only after Cubic sold the equipment could it “reasonably, comprehensively, and precisely account” for the result of its resale attempts. Id. at 376–77 (internal quotations omitted). 6 We note that, before the Supreme Court in Elahi, the Ministry made a contrary argument to the one it makes here. There, the Ministry asserted that Iran’s interest in the Cubic Judgment could not be “backdated” to 1981. MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM 13 Under Elahi, Iran did not have an interest in the Cubic Judgment or in the property underlying the judgment until well after the Algiers Accords were consummated. Permitting Lien Claimants to attach the Cubic Judgment would therefore not cause the United States to run afoul of its obligations under the Algiers Accords.7 2. The Cubic Judgment is a blocked asset subject to attachment and execution under the TRIA. The Cubic Judgment is a “blocked asset” pursuant to President Obama’s 2012 Executive Order No. 13539. It is therefore subject to attachment and execution pursuant to the TRIA. In 2012, President Obama invoked the IEEPA to block “[a]ll property and interests in property of the Government of Iran . . . that are in the United States.”8 Exec. Order No. 13359, 77 Fed. Reg. 6659, 6659 (Feb. 5, 2012). However, 7 The United States agrees with this conclusion. In its amicus brief, the United States contends that its “longstanding position . . . is that the [Algiers Accords] simply required the United States to return, as directed by Iran, specified Iranian properties that were in existence and subject to jurisdiction as of January 19, 1981 (the date of the Accords). The United States has no transfer obligation with respect to property that Iran acquired after the date of the Accords.” Brief of the United States as Amicus Curiae at 18–19. The government’s interpretation of its own agreement is entitled to “great weight.” Sumitomo Shoji Am., Inc. v. Avagliano, 457 U.S. 176, 184–85 & n.10 (1982). 8 This Court has already found that the Ministry is “an inherent part of the state of Iran.” Ministry of Defense, 495 F.3d at 1036, rev’d on other grounds by Elahi, 556 U.S. 366 (2009). Therefore, the Ministry’s ownership of the Cubic Judgment—rather than Iran’s—does not foreclose the application of President Obama’s blocking order. 14 MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM President Obama’s blocking order exempted Iranian property and interests in property that had been blocked in 1979, and that were then unblocked in 1981. 77 Fed. Reg. at 6660. The Ministry argues that Iran held a property interest in the ACMR that was blocked in 1979 then unblocked in 1981. The Ministry therefore contends that the Cubic Judgment falls within the exemption to President Obama’s 2012 Executive Order. We reject this argument, which just like the Ministry’s argument that the Algiers Accords prevent attachment, relies on misidentifying the asset actually at issue in this case. Under Elahi, the key asset is the one the Lien Claimants seek to attach: the Cubic Judgment, not the ACMR as the Ministry now argues. And the Cubic Judgment does not fall within the exemption to President Obama’s blocking order. Iran did not gain a property interest in the Cubic Judgment until 1998, when the district court confirmed the underlying arbitration award. Elahi, 556 U.S. at 376. Accordingly, Iran’s property interest in the Cubic Judgment existed neither in 1979, when Iran’s assets were blocked, nor in 1981 when those assets were unblocked. Whether and when Iran gained MINISTRY OF DEFENSE V. FRYM 15 a property interest in the ACMR is simply not relevant to this case.9 AFFIRMED. 9 The Ministry’s contention that 31 C.F.R. § 535.540(f) governed the proceeds of Cubic’s sale to Canada is irrelevant for the same reason. The relevant asset is not the proceeds of the sale, but rather the judgment confirming the arbitral award. Elahi, 556 U.S. at 376. Even if it were relevant, the district court correctly found that Section 535.540(f) would not apply. The regulation only requires sale proceeds to be transferred to Iran when the sale of otherwise blocked property is made pursuant to a specific type of OFAC license. The ACMR was not blocked after January 1981, and there is no evidence that Cubic’s sale of the ACMR involved any such license. | 2019-04-20T13:04:02 | https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/13-57182/13-57182-2016-02-26.html | [

Horses have had a dramatic impact on Josh’s life. They have given him strength, independence and confidence which has helped him overcome some of the challenges of living with Down syndrome. His mom is a physician and she continues to be amazed at the many ways in which riding has improved his quality of life.
Horses have helped motivate Josh, who has trouble speaking, to utter words, like “walk on” and “whoa.” His core strength has also improved as the horse’s motion challenges him to sit tall in the saddle. This is especially important because one of the symptoms of Down syndrome is low muscle tone.
Riding has also improved Josh’s fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination as he works the reins in his hands. He now steers the horse on his own and can make circles and weave through cones by giving and taking with his reins. After four years of riding at Fieldstone Farm, it is now rare for Josh to miss any target while playing games from atop his horse, no matter how challenging it might be. Other areas of improvement include following directions and sequencing as he hears the instructions that are given during class.
Beyond that, riding has brought tremendous joy to Josh and his family. And his confidence has soared. The transformation illustrates how our horses are able reach each of our students in so many different and individualized ways.
Josh’s mom can’t imagine a life without horses for Josh and says, “From the moment we pull into the parking lot, my son is so happy to be here and I know it is going to be a good day.” It is difficult for Josh to participate in sports other boys his age play, but horseback riding is an activity in which he excels, enjoys and feels a sense of accomplishment. | 2019-04-20T18:10:39 | http://www.fieldstonefarmtrc.com/ourstudents/horses-give-josh-a-voice/ | [

Each of Italy’s regions has its own rules, regulations, and requirements when it comes to letting out your property to paying guests.
To make sure you are complying with all local rules, you will need to contact your local tourism office – Azienda Provinciale per il Turismo (APT), to inform them of your plans, the location of your property, the amount of units you plan on renting out, and how often you plan on doing so. Once they have this information they will then class you as either a commercial, or non-commercial landlord. Your status will determine whether or not you have to charge your guests VAT.
Should you be renting the property for prolonged periods, it could be wise to employ the services of a property management company.
As the obligations imposed on both types of landlord can be complicated, we recommend you consult an Independent Financial Advisor about how to proceed.
Before letting your property we advise meeting with an independent solicitor.
Should you employ the services of a property agent?
If you are only letting out a part of your property, or will be around when your guests are there, you may opt to manage all of the logistics yourself. Should you be renting the property for prolonged periods while you are back in the UK, it could be wise to employ the services of a property management company. For an annual fee, usually starting at around €500, or a percentage of rental income, they will take care of advertising your property, collecting payment, greeting guests, cleaning the property, and garden and pool maintenance.
If you spend more than 183 days a year in Italy, and are regarded a resident, you will be liable to pay tax on all forms of income, including rent. The amount you are taxed will depend on each individual’s annual income in Italy, and like the UK, which bracket you fall into. As tax is always tricky to handle, we recommend speaking to an independent financial advisor, or a commercialista (Italian accountant), about the best way to proceed.
If you spend more than 183 days a year in Italy, and are regarded a resident, you will be liable to pay tax on all forms of income, including rent.
Prior to letting out your property, we advise you to consult an independent solicitor, to ensure you are complying with all of the relevant rules and regulations. You can incur sizeable fines if you fail to get the right license, planning permission, or to ensure disabled access, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Let us put you in touch with a trusted solicitor, who can answer all your questions on letting Italian property. | 2019-04-18T18:50:54 | https://www.propertyguides.com/italy/finance/letting-your-italian-property/ | [

Born in Jessamine County, Kentucky, Butler studied law after graduating from Transylvania University. He served in the War of 1812, taking part in the Battle of the Thames and the Battle of New Orleans. After the war, he practiced law in Carrollton, Kentucky and briefly served in the Kentucky House of Representatives. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1839 to 1843 before running for Governor of Kentucky in 1844. He lost the 1844 gubernatorial election to Whig nominee William Owsley.
During the Mexican–American War, Butler served as a major general of volunteers. He was General Zachary Taylor's second-in-command during the Battle of Monterrey and later succeeded Winfield Scott as the commander of American forces occupying Mexico City. The 1848 Democratic National Convention nominated a ticket of Cass and Butler, but the Whig ticket of Taylor and Millard Fillmore won the 1848 presidential election. He attended the Peace Conference of 1861, which sought to defuse the secession crisis that arose following the 1860 presidential election. During the Civil War, Butler was a War Democrat who favored the Union.
Butler was born in Jessamine County, Kentucky (then Fayette County), and graduated from Transylvania University in 1812. He began the study of law with Robert Wickliffe, but his education was interrupted by the War of 1812.
The Indians captured Butler and sent him to Fort Niagara where he remained until the British freed him on parole. He returned to Kentucky only to join the American forces that met the British and Indians at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. During the battle, Butler volunteered to set a barn on fire where the enemy had taken shelter. He successfully did so and received the rank of colonel for his bravery. Butler and his men were sent to New Orleans to assist Andrew Jackson in the city's defense. He distinguished himself during the Battle of New Orleans. Among the men under his command was future Florida governor Richard Keith Call, who would remain lifelong friends with Butler.
In 1848, Butler was the Democratic candidate for Vice President of the United States. At the 1848 Democratic National Convention, delegate Francis P. Blair was a leader of the movement to put Butler on the ticket with Lewis Cass, and Butler won the nomination on the first ballot over John A. Quitman and William R. King. In the general election, the ticket of Cass and Butler was defeated by Whig candidates Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore. Butler was the first non-incumbent Democratic vice presidential candidate to lose election.
Butler died in Carrollton, Kentucky on August 6, 1880 at age 89. He was interred in the Butler family cemetery in Carrollton.
The Gen. William O. Butler House, his home in Carrollton, Kentucky, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Perfect for cleaning hardwood, tile and laminate floors, the Bloom Modular Telescopic Flat Mop has a microfibre head that cleans to a shine, and tidies away neatly with the rest of the Bloom Modular range once your hard floors are spotless and shining.
The pivoting mop head helps this flat mop glide into tight corners and under low-slung furniture, so no part of your floor can escape its reach. At 30cm wide, it makes quick work of larger areas and has the perfect partner in the generously sized Bloom Modular Bucket.
Extending from an easy-to-store 77.5cm to a far-reaching 142cm, its handle locks securely into place so you can clean even awkward corners without fear of it retracting mid-mop. Twin locking buttons at the end of the pole let you detach and replace the head easily, and the machine washable microfibre pad detaches easily from the bottom when it needs a refresh – and there’s a replacement available too when it comes to the end of its useful mopping life.
The five pieces in the Bloom Modular range fit together to create a compact set, so you can just grab the whole range and go rather than ratcheting around for separate items in the depths of your cupboards. The handle of this Telescopic Mop clips securely onto the Bloom Cleaning Caddy, which clips in turn onto the Bloom Bucket, so it’s quick and easy to find what you need to get your floors back to their best.
30cm W. Extends from 77.5 to 142cm.
Everything in the bloom range works together to form a harmonious set. Brilliant! | 2019-04-21T22:32:28 | https://www.lakeland.co.uk/26046/Bloom-Modular-Telescopic-Flat-Mop | [

Some parents would also like to allow their older child(ren) the option of witnessing the birth but are unsure of how to handle the logistics of caring for the child(ren) during labor. A sibling doula can help!
1 hour consultation to ensure everyone meets each other and the child(ren) are comfortable around me. At this meeting, I should be informed of any health issues or medications the child(ren) may have or need and an emergency contact person (other than a parent) should be provided.
24/7 on-call availability to provide child care starting two weeks before the expected due date and will continue until the new baby is born.
$200 on-call fee. $30/hour for 1 child. $10/hour for each additional child.
An age appropriate explanation of birth can be provided, if so desired. We can discuss what to expect when baby arrives home. We will also prepare for the new sibling’s arrival by participating in a fun craft or activity.
Once baby has arrived, I can transport your child(ren) to the place of birth to meet their new sibling.
Please understand that a sibling doula does not replace the need for a birth doula during labor. I can not fill both roles adequately. If you desire both, I can recommend another doula who would work well with our team! | 2019-04-24T12:23:50 | https://raleighncdoula.com/sibling-doula-services/ | [

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of a typical nanoporous-carbon based supercapacitor. The organic electrolyte consists in 1-ethyl 3-methylimidazolium and hexafluorophosphate ions dissolved in acetonitrile. We simulate systems at equilibrium, for various applied voltages. This allows us to determine the relevant thermodynamic (capacitance) and transport (in-pore resistivities) properties. These quantities are then injected in a transmission line model for testing its ability to predict the charging properties of the device. The results from this macroscopic model are in good agreement with nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, which validates its use for interpreting electrochemical impedance experiments. | 2019-04-25T10:27:49 | http://oatao.univ-toulouse.fr/16647/ | [

Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - New home construction activity remained lackluster last month in Rochester, but overall construction activity was robust.
The City Building Safety Department approved 35 permits for new single-family homes in September. The total was up slightly from the previous month but was almost 20 lower than the tally from the same month last year. The new homes approved last month were valued at about $11 million, a total that got a big boost from a permit taken out by Summit Custom Homes for a $2.8 million dollar residence in southwest Rochester.
The overall building permit total last month was 210 with a valuation of $47.6 million. 42-percent of that total, or about $20.3 million, was tied to the valuation of the permit issued for 152 unit Riverwalk Downtown City Apartments along East Center Street adjacent to Mayo Field.
Since the beginning of the year, the city has issued 2031 building permits valued at almost $393 million. That’s about $50 million above the valuation total through the first nine months of last year. | 2019-04-20T00:36:44 | https://therockofrochester.com/apartment-project-boosts-rochester-september-construction-totals/ | [

Having been forced to listen to Magic FM for the last 48 hours (which, in it's infancy was really rather good - lots of Tony Bennett, Patsy Cline and the like - not the slick power pop MOR fest we know it as today) I have also been forced to consider whether people have simply given up making an effort when it comes to writing lyrics?
So many wet, flacid noodlings - I'm not talking grammatical lack of effort, more a sort of 'cod' emotional outpouring that leaves the insides gnawing at themselves.
"If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?"
"I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea"
"You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul"
"To give a love, you've gotta live a love, to live a love, you gotta be part of"
"How did I meet you ? I don't know. A messenger sent me in a tropical storm"
"Love soft as an easy chair, love fresh as the morning air"
"Got a fist of pure emotion, got a head of shattered dreams"
" I like small speakers, I like tall speakers"
" Hey there, you with the sad face, come up to my place and live it up"
People have been asking how they can get their mitts on the 'Willis Jamboree Bag No.1' - it's distribution takes one of two forms.
Distribution Agent (ie: Me, dragging stock of said 'WJB No.1's' into carefully selected establishments targeted as potentially sympathetic locations for such cottage industry ventures such as this): Hello! Could you tell me who's responsible for the bookshop/cafe/store/tattoo parlour...?
Me: Sorry, who's in charge of it?
Them: Who's in charge of it?
Me: Yes, who decides what goes in it?
Them: (Frowning) Who decides what goes in it? (Thankfully even he begins to tire of this 'Call and Response' exercise before one of us drops dead) Hmm, well I guess that would be (insert random, mumbled name here) - you could email them. Why? What is it regarding? (Heartily frowning now).
Me: (Realising I'm being met with what I like to refer to as a 'Head Of Security Response' I begin to explain) I'm a musician and I have collaborated with an art director friend of mine (http://www.antar.cc/) on a piece of design to give away. It's a Jamboree Bag.
Me: It's not for sale. It's free. It's to give away.
Me: Can I leave some here for your customers?
Them: Not really, I mean, we don't usually do that sort of thing, take that sort of thing (subtext: give a toss about that sort of thing).
Me: Can I just show you some? See? They're really rather lovely and, as I said, it's a free piece of design for people to take home and keep.
Me: What about over there on that shelf?
Them: ...no, and secondly we couldn't have you just leaving free 'stuff' here.
Them: Because then everyone would assume that they could help themselves to other things in the shop without paying for it.
Me: Ok. Thank you. Goodbye.
Me: Hello! I'm a musician and I have collaborated with an art director friend of mine on a piece of design to give away. It's not for sale. It's free. It's to give away. Can I leave some here for your customers?
Them: Oh, thank you, they're lovely that's so kind, thanks for bringing them in, would you like a cup of tea...?! | 2019-04-26T12:25:30 | http://www.willismusic.co.uk/2011/09/ | [

Insulation offers an easy and cost-effective way to cut your heating costs.
3 What Can You Put on a Cinder Block Wall to Stop Cold From Coming In?
Unfinished basement walls lower the energy efficiency of your home, resulting in cold drafts and reduced comfort for your family. Missing or inadequate insulation also leads to higher utility bills due to wasted energy, and may result in more maintenance and more frequent replacement of your heating equipment. And, a well-insulated basement is a selling point when it comes time to put your home on the market. Save money and protect the environment from the effects of air pollution by installing insulation in your basement to conserve energy.
Measure the depth of your exposed wood framing using a tape measure. Choose your insulation based on the available space and your budget.
Put on your safety glasses and gloves before handling the insulation.
Cut fiberglass batts to fit between the exposed wooden studs. Size the batts to fit snugly between the framing members so that friction will be enough to hold them in place.
Place the batts into the wall cavity, adding several layers as needed to achieve the desired R-value.
Finish the walls with drywall or leave unfinished, as desired.
Cover the entire wall with a vapor barrier, such as 6 mm polyethylene. Secure the edges of each sheet to the wall using construction adhesive, and overlap each row by 6-inches. Tape the seams of the vapor barrier using heavy clear tape.
Measure over 16 inches from one corner of each masonry wall. Mark this spot with a marker or chalk, then continue to make marks every 16 inches along the length of the wall.
Place 1 by 2 inch furring strips at the marks you made on the wall. Use concrete or masonry screws to secure each furring strip to the wall.
Cut rigid foam sheets to fit between the furring strips using your utility knife. Size the sheets so they fit snugly between each strip.
Insert the sheets of rigid foam between the furring strips. If friction isn't enough to hold the sheets in place, add a bit of construction adhesive to the back of each sheet. Add a second layer of foam to maximize R-value.
Cover the furred-out wall with 1/2-inch drywall. Screw the drywall to the furring strips using drywall screws and finish as desired.
Energy Savers recommends insulating the interior side of basement walls to between R-5 and R-19 depending on where you live. Choose high-performance insulation products to achieve a greater R-value per inch, or stick with standard products to save money if space is not a concern.
Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself when handling fiberglass insulation.
Never install rigid foam products without covering them with 1/2-inch drywall. These materials release toxic fumes during a fire that could pose a significant health risk to your family.

My Name is Bear might be one of the most interesting and powerful albums of 2017 as well as being one of the most versatile and soulfully uplifting collection of songs that we have seen in recent years. Nahko has fronted his musical collective Nahko and Medicine for the People for a decade this year and they are inarguably this. The band are somewhat of a tonic for the soul, a glorious and daring whirlwind of sound that cuts right to your very core, captivating and elevating you.
Nahko has previously commented on having grown up facing a severe cultural identity crisis from a young age. Born with a healthy mix of Apache, Puerto Rican and Filipino heritage to his name he was then adopted into an American family in Oregon he felt that he was often left with a collection of cultures in which to identify and find his place. However at the tender age of six he discovered where his true culture lay and that was in the piano. His love of music grew and grew as he learned and plied his trade over years to an ever increasing collection of genres. In his native culture at last, Nahko has thankfully been producing some of the most charming and astounding songs for us ever since.
My Name is Bear is an album so warm and bright that as you listen it’s hard not to feel the sun shining brightly down on your face from a blue and cloudless sky. The album opens with the honest and heartfelt tale of growing up, Dragonfly. Soft, simple and deeply harmonious, Dragonfly taps into the deepest recesses of your mind and sends childhood memories rippling through you like a stone thrown into a pond. As these warm memories coarse through you Nahko is simultaneously singing to the future. It’s a slower and softer song from the album that brings you charmingly into his world with a shared honesty. This is immediately followed by a brief interlude entitled The Vow. The Vow is a brief and earnest vow to both himself and his fans – a personal touch that immerses you into his life and music.
Once the vow is completed though, that is when Nahko really opens up on the throttle and lets his true sound burst forth. My Name is Bear is a phenomenal blend of genres that have so many subtle infusions from across the globe and ages that they each bleed into each other until something new and uncharted is gifted to us. A collection that sits Latino fused tunes alongside acoustic ska, folk, orchestral, rock, synth, electronica, classical, pop and so much more, his songs form a charismatic blanket of sound that envelops you with a series of tunes and rich and heady as honey wine. The experimental and versatile nature of Nahko’s music is breath-taking throughout as he is able to flit between genres are the strum of a note. His keenly addictive songs build themselves up around such a vibrant collection of sounds including pianos, keyboards, fiddles, synthesisers, tubas, trumpets, double bass and guitars the songs seem to bend as sway like trees in a warm summer breeze as Nahko guides them with a kind and gentle hand.
My Name is Bear is a deep and powerful album that is rife with some of the most astounding songs of 2017 including Dragonfly, Alice and Be Here Now. It’s every song is worthy of note before Nahko has even opened his mouth but it’s when he does that his songs burst to life with an almost visible aura and palpable heartbeat. The smooth, gentle and deeply emotional voice that Nahko lends to his music seems to ignite a flame in your chest that burns brighter and hotter as the album continues. Rich, ardent and tender, Nahko applies his unique and inimitable voice to a series of personal but easily resonating songs that we can all identify with. Singing odes to the thoughts in our lives that we neglect or bury he steeps his every word with a caring positivity, picking up his every listener and elevating them.
Nahko is precisely what he says on the tin – medicine for the people. My Name is Bear is a powerful and tender collection that helps to strengthen your heart with its every note. Rich and vibrant, his music is cheerful, playful and optimistic. Peppered with strong brass tunes and bouncing guitar melodies he harmoniously envelops his work and presents it to the world in a way that can only be described as a gift for the soul. | 2019-04-26T10:06:46 | https://www.artree.org.uk/album-review-nahko-my-name-is-bear/ | [

An 18-year-old Rancho Cucamonga woman remained hospitalized in critical condition this morning with injuries suffered Tuesday when her car was broadsided by a transient accused of speeding through red lights in a stolen car.
Patrick Griffin, 41, was booked this morning at West Valley Detention Center on suspicion of attempted murder, grand theft auto, and felony DUI, said Tracy Dorsey, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
“Preliminary investigation determined that (Griffin) had been drinking,” Dorsey said.
The victim, Jessika Garcia, suffered severe head injuries in Tuesday’s collision, and hasn’t regained consciousness, Dorsey said. She remains hospitalized at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.
“She was just the innocent victim of (Griffin’s) criminal activities,” Dorsey said.
Griffin was hospitalized after the collision but was discharged this morning. Griffin is from Washington state, and was passing through the area hoping to eventually reach Florida, Dorsey said. He has no known local addresses, Dorsey said.
On Tuesday afternoon, Griffin reportedly stole a Toyota Camry from the Union 76 gas station at the intersection of Arrow and Hermosa Avenue, Dorsey said.
At about 1:40 p.m., a sheriff’s deputy saw Griffin driving erratically as he pulled out of a shopping center at the corner of Arrow and Archibald Avenue, Dorsey said.
The sheriff’s deputy made a U-turn intending to make a traffic stop on Griffin’s car, Dorsey said. As the deputy continued to watch Griffin’s car, he saw the vehicle drive west on Arrow at speeds of up to 80 mph and run red lights at Archibald, Hellman Avenue, and Vineyard, Dorsey said.
At the Vineyard intersection, Griffin collided with Garcia, who was traveling north on Vineyard in a 2010 Hyundai. Griffin slammed into the passenger side of Garcia’s car. Garcia didn’t have any passengers in her car, Dorsey said.
Dorsey said that investigators do not believe the deputy’s pursuit of Griffin was a factor in the crash. Because Griffin had been drinking, investigators do not believe he was aware there was a sheriff’s unit behind him, Dorsey said. | 2019-04-21T06:51:30 | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2009/11/05/transient-booked-for-high-speed-crash-in-rancho-cucamonga-victim-still-critical/ | [

Hairbrushes can be found in every bathroom as they're an indispensable item for most and are used every day. It's vital to know how to choose the right hairbrush but it's also vital to know how to always keep it in top condition and keep it clean. It's best to do some things daily when cleaning brushes in addition to other extra but also essential tasks. In this OneHowTo article we explain in detail how to clean a hairbrush at home.
Hair brushes should be kept clean and in perfect condition, to prevent them from accumulating dirt and becoming transmitters of germs. Every time you brush you should remove any hairs that have accumulated.
A toothed comb can help to eliminate hairs from your brush, especially if it's a round brush. We recommend that you put any hair straight into the bin rather than the toilet, so it doesn't clog it up.
As well as this daily task, you need to clean your hair brush more thoroughly and often. For that, submerge it in hot water with some neutral soap or detergent. You can use any bathroom soap or dishwasher detergent and leave it under water for at least 20-30 minutes.
Once done, use a pointed or narrow object to reach all corners of the hairbrush, such as a toothpick or an old toothbrush. This way you'll remove any dirt. However, if your brushes are made of wood you should not submerge them to prevent them from deteriorating. In this case you should rinse it over water and carefully lather some shampoo on it and clear it off with water.
Rinse your brush with clean water and leave it to dry on a dry towel or cloth. Do not brush your hair until the brush is completely dry.
Occasionally wash your hairbrush with water and ammonia to completely remove any dirt. You must be very careful because it is a corrosive product.
Another trick for cleaning hair brushes involves covering them with shaving foam and leaving them for 30 minutes. Rinse afterwards in cool water and you'll find you have a clean, perfect brush.
If there are lots of tangled hairs in your brush and can't remove them with the method mentioned above, find some scissors and simply cut through the ball of hair to make sure you can pull them out of the bristles and proceed cleaning with hot water.

When I was recovering from ovarian cancer and treatment 15 years ago, I took advantage of many programs offered by The Wellness Community of Greater Boston (TWC), located at the time in Newton, Massachusetts. (You could attend for two years following treatment.) TWC closed precipitously two years ago when funding dried up with the Bernie Madoff debacle.
Dedicated volunteers created a new organization, Facing Cancer Together (FCT) (visit http://www.facing-cancer.org), to inform and support people of all ages who are coping with cancer. An email arrived today offering programs in yoga, focusing, collage and nutrition at FCT’s Newtonville site.
I first tried yoga at TWC because it was free of charge and I knew the instructor would adapt to any physical limitations we might have. I loved not having to commit to a semester of sessions or to an activity I wasn’t sure I would enjoy. And having cancer brought extra expenses, so not having to pay for lessons or coaching was helpful.
Yoga and nutrition are classic elements in cancer recovery. Collage and focusing are newer. Focusing is a method for making body-centered connections for healing, like meditation but different. I wish I could try it!
Although stepping across the threshold was acknowledging that I had cancer, I quickly got over my hesitation. I attended TWC sessions on nutrition, fitness, searching the internet, and more. Everything was helpful, and I encourage you to try FCT and other organizations offering support. | 2019-04-24T18:50:33 | https://2in10.net/2010/10/01/facing-cancer-together/ | [

In this three-part mini-series, Stefanie Koehler shares her experiences in bringing a sustainability focus into her work.
Biomimicry, the practice of emulating models and strategies found in nature, provides designers with tools for seeing and learning from nature in new ways (Biomimicry 3.8 Institute), serving to both embed an ethos of sustainability and potentially inspire radical thinking.
For the competition, I explored the use of biomimicry as a process for creating a sustainable product as well as a scalable social enterprise idea. Under the inspirational guidance of Denise Deluca, co-founder and director of Biomimicry for Creative Innovation (BCI), this work ultimately grew from my Master's thesis project.
My design concept was a water treatment system called SolDrop. My team went on to become the only US finalists in the global 2013 BSDC and I had the honor of presenting at the Biomimicry Education Summit and Global Conference in Boston that year.
Upon first looking to Mother Nature as a mentor, I started with getting curious while walking through a coastal forest in Oregon. I wanted to know how the clouds were forming in the forest and if I could glean insight into water management strategies. After a quick search on AskNature.org, I discovered that pine needles use the strategy of high surface area to perform the function of collecting moisture.
Dozens of searches and many design iterations later, I learned that nature performs multiple functions using various strategies on all surface-, structure-, and systems-levels. Similar to the pine needles, an elephant's wrinkly skin and several desert plants, use the strategy of high surface area, to perform varied functions. Amongst these multi-functional strategies I found several patterns that occurred across many biological organisms.
The biomimetic design idea, SolDrop, is based on the concept of using several modular solar distillation "pods," in a decentralized fashion, to provide a water treatment option that may be affordable for people in impoverished areas. Ideally, SolDrop solar still "pods" are made from recycled plastic bottles or other locally available materials that can be found and maintained locally, and used to purify water in someone's home.
By integrating several bio-inspired strategies and practicing the methods of biomimicry (as applied to design), I went from having an inspiration-level understanding to gaining a deep understanding of biomimicry thinking as a problem-solving framework. This led to continued 'ah-ha's' in how I might create a sustainable product innovation and a social enterprise that enriches the ecosystem with good business.
In retrospect, I took far more away from studying, practicing and making biomimicry thinking a part of my daily habits than I had ever anticipated. Initially I thought I'd just be tackling the product as a designer, but soon shifted to creating a water treatment option that also engages local communities and enhances local economies for long-term positive impact.
This article is part of a mini-series about a young industrial designer's experiences bringing a sustainability-focus to her work entitled "Aspiring to Improve the World by Crafting a Career in Sustainable Design." | 2019-04-24T02:25:50 | https://www.core77.com/posts/26554/aspiring-to-improve-the-world-by-crafting-a-career-in-sustainable-design-part-3-learning-from-nature-26554 | [

John Tory has his first real competition in the mayor’s race.
Jennifer Keesmaat, the city’s former chief planner, registered Friday before the 2 p.m. deadline to run for mayor.
Keesmat said that she made the decision so recently that she didn’t have time to alert her parents that she was running.
“It was a very impromptu decision but one that comes deeply from my heart and passion for this city,” she said, when asked if she was joining the race because of Premier Doug Ford’s announcement that he was cutting the size of council to 25 members.
Keesmat kicked off her campaign with a bang, tweeting Thursday night that if Toronto were to secede from Ontario, it would be the fifth largest province/territory in Canada.
She said she was running because she’s prepared to work hard and isn’t “afraid” to make hard choices and decisions.
Keesmaat is a well-known advocate of transit, pedestrian and bicycle-first policies and also a ban on handguns.
She left her role with the city on Sept. 29 after five years.
Her tenure wasn’t always smooth. At times, she butted heads with politicians, most notably Tory over the Gardiner Expressway East project, where she favoured a tear-down. Council supported Tory’s hybrid option, which kept most of the elevated expressway intact.
When her departure was announced, Tory lauded her accomplishments while leading the city planning department. He highlighted her work on significant transit projects like the Scarborough subway extension and SmartTrack.
“Jennifer has used her platform and voice as chief planner to help guide council’s efforts to build a better city for all Torontonians and I wish her all the best in the next phase of her career,” Tory said in a statement. | 2019-04-20T19:02:30 | https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/jennifer-keesmaat-former-chief-planner-running-for-toronto-mayor | [

With the information displayed when using the File/Properties menu, could you also include information regarding compression options used?
yeah this would be great !!
especially showing if an archive is solid or not.
I completely second the request!
Why not making an extension for the file properties dialog as the most archivers have?
I’m not impressed with you closing my other thread spwolf! My thread did not relate to feature requests for Archive Properties, it was more a bug report because PA was not displaying some Archive Properties, even though all the required information was present for PA to determine the relevant info.
I have tested it with several ZIP archives which I know have been compressed using standard Zip compression (ie. not Zip64), and were created solely on Windows. Why is this information not shown ?
Can you fix this please ?!
This is a bug in PA, and NOT a feature request as spwolf indicated by deleting my original thread.
Sorry if I sound a bit argumentative, but I don’t appreciate it when a valid thread is closed when the developers have had no input to the thread to ask any questions. You simply assumed the problem was a feature request, without “thinking outside of the box”.
Anyway, I’m sure I’ve expressed my feelings. If I’m wrong, I’ll have no problem apologising to you, but from my testing this would not appear to be the case. I have been involoved with beta-testing of various Windows software, so if you want another beta-tester for PA, PM me.
I am sorry if I sounded harsh, but you should have read my post, and previous posts on the subject.
Problem is that full info can not be shown for all formats, only for some. Hence when full info is available “Unknown” is shown. It is not an bug, rather properties box needs to be redesigned to better show available info, which is what this wishlist is for.
Sorry for moving/closing threads, but we have to do that to keep everything tidy to certain extent… Anything that can keep number of active threads will make it easier for us to check bugs, wishlist items when we start working on new version.
p.s. maybe I should explain it better - for displaying “advanced” ZIP info, property box is not sufficient, and proper info can not be shown there because it is not correct info for ZIP format. Thats why ZIP info such as ver to extract and OS is not and should not be listed there.
Due to comptability with older zip utilities, proper info is not always written into zip header when it comes to these and they also might be specific to single file, as files in archives can have different zip format characteristics. So you can not show ver to extract as 4.5 if some of the files in the archive can be extracted by 2.0 and others with 4.5. And obviously, you are not using MS-DOS to extract the file, are you?
I’m not offended in any way. I’;m more dismayed that you still haven’t understood my post.
I understand that the Archive properties of files I refer to require that all the files in the archive be compressed with the same OS, and/or format.
As explained in my previous posts, I have explicitly created test archives, verifying that every file has been compressed with the same OS and algorithm (I did this by loading the test archives into WinZip, and painstakinkngly looking through the Advanced Archive Properties dialog).
Therefore, from my end (and at least one other perspective) a bug does exist. Every file in my test ZIP archives has been compressed with the same OS and same algorithm. The relevant information is therefore constant throughout archive. Because of this, enough information is available to PA to display these three required fields, but yet it doesn’t!
I don’t want to get argumentative (even though I like to destroy a person every once in a while :D), because I like PA, but the fact that you are so quick to dismiss my concerns only tends to indicate that this is a known problem with PA, and that you might be having trouble fixing it. Instead you’d rather dismiss the problem.
I’m disappointed because you don’t even seem to want to discuss the problem I’m experiencing. I mean, you haven’t even asked me a meaningful question to try and solve the problem. You keep on suggesting I’m asking for a new feature, which I’m not. This feature is already (supposedly) present, but it’s not currently working correctly!
I can only assume you’re having a bad day spwolf and are having an off day with your customer care skills. If you choose to dismiss this post again, I can only assume your previously good customer care record does not matter to you any more. Maybe you’ve been bought out by Norton, or someone!
PA used to be one of my favourite apps, but within a few hours it’s repuation has been severely damaged by spwolfs narrow mindedness. You could certainly learn something from the support offered by MetaProducts. The support for Offline Explorer Pro is out-of-this-world.
PS. I expect this post to be deleted due to the fact that it’s exposing the truth about some members of PA support!
only part I dont understand here is if you are actually joking or did you not read my post?
PowerArchiver is not supposed to show that info for ZIP archives, because it would not be correct and would only serve to confuse users.
This is due to the limited design of Properties box, and it has to be improved so more information can be shown.
What happens if user has Win98? Does that mean it cant extract the info?
What happens if user has encrypted one file out of 100 in the archive. Rest of the files are not encrypted and can be read by any kind of ZIP utility, without support for 4.5 standard.
Is the user supposed to check Archive properties and decide that he cant send a file to a coworker because he doesnt have PowerArchiver?
Once again, design of the box is not sufficient to show proper information about zip archives, without the chance of showing bad information.
Improved properties for PA 2007. | 2019-04-22T10:49:35 | https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/158/archive-properties | [

Manufacturer rated as Thatcham category 2?
I've got a 2003 Kawasaki zx636 (B1H) motorcycle and wanted to know if the standard manufacturer immobilizer is a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser?
insurer approved installer and that the immobiliser is on and working whenever the insured vehicle is left."
Re: Manufacturer rated as Thatcham category 2?
i wasn't aware the b1h came with an immobiliser?
Surely Kawasaki could confirm the immobiliser category?
The ignition barrel doesn't look like that image, it just looks black and silver.
I've tried to get hold of a Kawasaki dealer but couldn't get through, I'll try them again tomorrow.
I don't remember mine having it either. My 05 10R had KISS - maybe that was the year it was introduced.
Thanks for the replies everyone, after calling a couple of dealerships the consensus is that it doesn't have one fitted. | 2019-04-19T16:16:05 | http://www.mcnninjas.com/smf/index.php?topic=2764.msg34077 | [

Is there anything better than a long, luxurious soak in a jacuzzi tub or spa? Closing your eyes as you soak in the warm water and comforting jets, it’s easy to drift away and daydream you’re far away from all of the stress of daily life.
If you’ve been considering adding a spa to your home collection, there’s something you should know. No two spa systems are exactly the same; which you install can be the difference between enjoyment and a sub-par experience.
At Paradise Pools, we’re proud to sell luxurious Caldera Spa systems. Here’s why you should consider this brand before you make your purchase.
If you’re the type of person who enjoys an active lifestyle, you may enjoy special benefits from your Caldera Spa. Warm water jets encourage better circulation and gently relax your muscles, letting you recover faster after exercise. In just 20 minutes, you can achieve temporary relief from those exercise-induced aches and pains.
Those massaging jets also carry another benefit: relaxation. The combination of warmth and gentle massage creates the perfect environment for unwinding after a long day. Stepping into your Caldera Spa will begin to feel like the high point of your day; it’s your “home away from home” and a place of solitude and peace. It’s also a great way to unwind with a couple of friends on special occasions or during the holidays!
Struggling with Arthritis, or maybe even just a bum knee? There’s evidence that spending time in a hot tub or spa may actually reduce your level of joint pain, especially with regular use. There are a few different theories for why this happens: increased circulation, stress reduction, muscle relaxation…even plain and simple distraction counts. Spending just 20 minutes in your spa daily could very well help you to limit the pain you experience without taking any additional medications.
Of course, everyone is different and your doctor knows you best. Your mileage may vary, but if nothing else, you’ll enjoy the time you spend in your spa!
Here at Paradise Pools, we know there’s nothing more enjoyable than a hot soak or a swim on a beautiful day. If you’re considering adding a spa or installing a pool, we’d love to help you find the right system. Reach out now and discover the beauty of Caldera Spas. | 2019-04-20T06:26:36 | https://www.paradisepoolsms.com/3-fabulous-reasons-to-buy-a-caldera-spa/ | [

Go behind the plates of JLB's review of Malia Island Fusion on Sanibel.
The Thai noodle salad is on the lunchtime menu at Malia Island Fusion on Sanibel. Shown here with salmon for $22, the dish starts at $14. While the salmon was perfect, the noodles (overdressed and salty) were a rare miss for the restaurant. But even Malia's misses look stunning. | 2019-04-25T16:26:17 | https://www.news-press.com/picture-gallery/life/food/Jean-Le-Boeuf/2019/01/31/what-jlb-ate-malia-island-fusion/2730189002/ | [

Hi, I am Sharon, a wife, mother, IT Gal and photographer located in Monument, CO, thanks for stopping by. I am a Digital Imagery Professional with over 25 years of combined experience in Digital Art, Digital Photography, Marketing and Graphics within multiple industries. In fact, I was blessed with the role of Director of Multimedia, Air Force Space Command for many years where I managed a staff of brilliant multimedia artists.
Recently I have been asked why I do what I do and the simple answer is passion. My goal is to challenge the status quo by offering premier collections. Photography is the creative side of me expressed with each piece and collection you see in our portfolio. Each piece has a story behind it whether it is capturing the beauty in a persons raw emotion, witnessing a moment in nature or the lives of our worlds animal life.
My husband Doug and I are excited to offer our visitors a gallery of our lifes works that will continue to evolve, mature and eventually be passed on long after we are gone. Take your time as you visit each gallery. They are presented to you from our hearts and hope that you find joy in what you see! We love our work but sharing with you makes this journey even sweeter.
Click here to enjoy my work!
Hi, I'm Doug - a husband, IT guy, music lover and photographer located in Monument, CO. From a very young age I've always had a passion for photography. There is just something about capturing a moment in time that lives on forever.
With the advances in digital cameras the number of "photographers" has grown exponentially. There is so much more to a quality image then just pointing a camera and pressing a button. So you may be asking yourself, "What makes this guy any different?" I'm glad you asked.
Whatever the subject I look for ways to create a "unique" image that draws the viewer into the photograph. This includes dramatic lighting, different angles and catching key moments.

Supercritical carbon dioxide was used as an extractive solvent to remove free fatty acids from cold-pressed olive oil. Crude oil of different acidity content (from 0.5 to 4.0 wt%) was extracted in a packed column at 313 K and pressures of 180, 234 and 250 bar. The group contribution equation of state was employed to simulate the separation process, representing the oil as a simple pseudo-binary oleic acid + triolein mixture. Despite the simple representation of oil composition to simulate the deacidification process, a satisfactory agreement between the experimental and calculated yields and acidity of raffinates was obtained. The thermodynamic model was employed to study a continuous countercurrent multistage extraction process which yielded a raffinate having acidity lower than 0.7 wt%, when crude olive oil with different FFA content was processed. | 2019-04-22T00:50:21 | http://sired.udenar.edu.co/4459/ | [

The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract thirty thousand couple, who are able to maintain their own children, (although I apprehend there cannot be so many, under the present distresses of the kingdom) but this being granted, there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders. I again subtract fifty thousand, for those women who miscarry, or whose children die by accident or disease within the year. There only remain an hundred and twenty thousand children of poor parents annually born. The question therefore is, How this number shall be reared, and provided for? which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; we neither build houses, (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing till they arrive at six years old; except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier; during which time they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers: As I have been informed by a principal gentleman in the county of Cavan, who protested to me, that he never knew above one or two instances under the age of six, even in a part of the kingdom so renowned for the quickest proficiency in that art.
Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.
I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, labourers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend, or his own family to dine with him. Thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants, the mother will have eight shillings neat profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.
A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme. He said, that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supply'd by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age, nor under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every country being now ready to starve for want of work and service: And these to be disposed of by their parents if alive, or otherwise by their nearest relations. But with due deference to so excellent a friend, and so deserving a patriot, I cannot be altogether in his sentiments; for as to the males, my American acquaintance assured me from frequent experience, that their flesh was generally tough and lean, like that of our school-boys, by continual exercise, and their taste disagreeable, and to fatten them would not answer the charge. Then as to the females, it would, I think, with humble submission, be a loss to the publick, because they soon would become breeders themselves: And besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.
But in order to justify my friend, he confessed, that this expedient was put into his head by the famous Salmanaazor, a native of the island Formosa, who came from thence to London, above twenty years ago, and in conversation told my friend, that in his country, when any young person happened to be put to death, the executioner sold the carcass to persons of quality, as a prime dainty; and that, in his time, the body of a plump girl of fifteen, who was crucified for an attempt to poison the Emperor, was sold to his imperial majesty's prime minister of state, and other great mandarins of the court in joints from the gibbet, at four hundred crowns. Neither indeed can I deny, that if the same use were made of several plump young girls in this town, who without one single groat to their fortunes, cannot stir abroad without a chair, and appear at a play-house and assemblies in foreign fineries which they never will pay for; the kingdom would not be the worse.
Secondly, The poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own, which by law may be made liable to a distress, and help to pay their landlord's rent, their corn and cattle being already seized, and money a thing unknown.
Thirdly, Whereas the maintainance of an hundred thousand children, from two years old, and upwards, cannot be computed at less than ten shillings a piece per annum, the nation's stock will be thereby encreased fifty thousand pounds per annum, besides the profit of a new dish, introduced to the tables of all gentlemen of fortune in the kingdom, who have any refinement in taste. And the money will circulate among our selves, the goods being entirely of our own growth and manufacture.
Many other advantages might be enumerated. For instance, the addition of some thousand carcasses in our exportation of barrel'd beef: the propagation of swine's flesh, and improvement in the art of making good bacon, so much wanted among us by the great destruction of pigs, too frequent at our tables; which are no way comparable in taste or magnificence to a well grown, fat yearly child, which roasted whole will make a considerable figure at a Lord Mayor's feast, or any other publick entertainment. But this, and many others, I omit, being studious of brevity. | 2019-04-25T19:40:27 | http://terrenceberres.com/swimod.html | [

Look around you and every single person you know has some kind of money problems. From being in debt, all the way down to people living on the streets begging for change. It’s no wonder people are struggling with finances.
I understand that finances can be a “boring thing”. When I was pursuing accounting, many people revealed to me their overall distaste for numbers, budgets, and balancing. But in order to fix your money problems, you have to come to terms with the fact it’s important to know about the finance world.
This article will present some solutions to your money problems, but the underlying fact is that we need to start changing how we see money and use it.
The first thing to understand with making money is that it’s easy. We live in a capitalist society where we all have the opportunity to make money. All we need to do is provide some form of assistance.
But the difference between me and you and the wealthy is spending habits. Where does the rich spend their money? And how do they save their money? Our answers are where one of the many differences lay.
I remember in a Tai Lopez webinar he said that if your parents started working from their late teens to early 40s they’d be millionaires.
The only thing that gets in the way is of course you need to spend money to survive. But even still, it’s in our nature for us to spend money on other things as well. Sometimes a little too much. Take for example coffee. When it comes to budgeting, I find a lot of times we turn to our daily spending habits first in order to save money. On that list is typically coffee as most people drink it.
In the end, humans are great money makers. But the problem is we are terrible money savers. The ones who have made it big learned that and started to do something about it. They didn’t have to do any crazy tactics. Sometimes making some small adjustments and paying a careful eye to expenses helps a lot. Home Viable wrote an article recently on saving money and provides some clear and reasonable tips.
Cutting off subscriptions, or certain items you normally buy, but don’t need.
Monitor spending habits and finding solutions to fix those problems.
Putting a budget together and committing to it.
These simple tips are outlined in Sticky Vacuums post above, however taking action now on these can be to your benefit. Money problems stem from how we spend our money, so if you change how you spend, you’re halfway there. From there it’s learning to save and that’s a matter of investing in financial instruments.
One of the many differences between us and the rich is the rich learned to save money properly.
What this does for us is that it tells us money is a precious resource that’s limited. With this money mindset it can lead you to think the rich are greedy and don’t want to share. That makes them “evil”.
That sort of thought process is hypocritical when you think about it. If you think money is scarce and corporations are greedy people then why are so many people shopping at Wal-Mart? Why are people spending a lot of money on cars and other big ticket items to those large industries?
By all means some wealthy people do fit that description mentioned above. There are greedy and terrible CEOs and wealthy people. But there are also greedy and terrible poor and average people too. It hurts to say that, but wealth isn’t a determination of the quality of the person. But instead of complaining about terrible people and money, start changing how you think about money.
Our perception of money shifts based on how we view it. If we live a life of scarcity, we play up the notion that our money is precious and want to avoid large priced items.
What we also determine is our own sense of self worth. One of the main factors for our self worth is how much money we have. Although it’s not a great way to measure ourselves, it’s easy to slip into that, especially when you combine it with spending. It’s for this reason the homeless beg for change and don’t aspire to improve their situation. There’s certainly outliers, but most remain in hard situations and continue to go through the motions.
So when you change your mindset, you’ll better approach your money problems and find solutions. Looking over my life it took me two years to crawl out. I was complaining a lot of the time about my lack of money. I had some serious money problems. However I overcame them by putting my energy into action. Committing to methods that can generate an income.
Change your mindset, and you'll start to find money solutions.
The last thing about money is the fact very few people know much about it, let alone use it effectively. People can understand saving money here and there. But it doesn’t change the fact many people are spouting assumptions about money when most are financially illiterate.
I’ve talked before about debt and credit cards and a lot of people don’t seem to know how to use them properly. Instead they misuse it, rack up debt that they struggle to pay off, complain that the company and money is “evil”, and don’t bother seeking assistance. They don’t even realize that the situation that they are in and complaining about is all because of them.
That major determining factor can be boiled down to people refusing to learn about money, claiming that it’s a “boring subject”. Yet at the same time, when you learn about the finance world, how to budget, and use money properly, you can avoid many of the potholes that so many people fall into due to ignorance.
So do yourself a favour and read up on it a little bit. You don’t need to go to the extreme and learn advance finance stuff. But knowing the basics of a budget alone can help significantly. | 2019-04-19T18:29:20 | https://www.ericscottburdon.com/have-money-problems-here-is-how-to-fix-them/ | [

Top U.S. Federal Reserve officials say a strong economy will likely keep their rate increase plans intact, but on Monday a key signal began to waver that may intensify debate about whether conditions are as solid as they seem.
The gap in interest rates between 2-year US2YT=RR and 10-year US10YT=RR Treasury securities narrowed to its smallest in more than a decade, dipping below 0.15 percentage point.
That gap, or “spread,” is regarded as a particularly important benchmark among some central bank officials for gauging recession risk and weighing investor doubt about the future.
Investors typically demand higher yields to commit money for longer periods of time. When short-term yields move higher it can imply doubts about the immediate future. An inversion of the yield curve has preceded past recessions.
In fact, one section of the yield curve has already inverted: between 3-year US3YT=RR and 5-year US5YT=RR notes. The spread between the two dropped to negative 0.01 percentage point on Monday, the first time that has happened since 2007.
After months in which concern about the yield curve had eased, its sudden narrowing on Monday could disrupt what had seemed a strong consensus at the Fed to continue raising rates through 2019.
Dallas Federal Reserve bank president Robert Kaplan said the Fed was now in a “more challenging” period as global growth slows and parts of the American economy begin feeling the impact of Fed interest rate increases.
The yield curve “tells me that it’s wise to be patient here,” Kaplan told Reuters in Laredo, Texas where he is meeting with business leaders and bankers. Kaplan, a former Goldman Sachs banker who says he looks at the yield curve several times a day, said Monday the narrow gap between two-year and 10-year Treasuries reflects expectations of sluggish global growth.
Along with the renewed narrowing of the yield curve, economists on Monday were parsing a conflicting set of new data. A survey of supply managers indicated manufacturing output would grow, but the same survey indicated weaker prices; meanwhile a decline in construction spending led some analysts to mark down their forecast for gross domestic product growth.
In separate remarks on Monday morning, Fed vice chair Randal Quarles said the central bank, while “data dependent,” was following a strategy that would not be thrown off course by “every wavering” of economic statistics.
That strategy has led the Fed to slowly but steadily raise interest rates, with a hike expected in December and three more next year.
Though it is not certain the narrowing in spreads is related to doubts about economic growth, alternate explanations would not necessarily be helpful to the Fed either. A drop in inflation expectations for example, another component in the interest demanded by investors to hold bonds, would be bad news for a central bank hoping to keep inflation anchored at 2 percent.
The yield curve had steepened sharply coming out of a September Fed meeting at which rates were raised, when the yield difference between two-year and 10-year Treasury securities widened from 0.22 percentage point to 0.34.
But since then, it has persistently declined, especially since the middle of last week, and now is at its narrowest since July 2007, on the eve of a steep recession.
The narrowing on Monday was driven by both a rise in yields on the two-year Treasury, and a decline in the 10-year, which since last week has struggled to stay above 3 percent. | 2019-04-20T09:06:25 | https://geckoresearch.com/as-fed-says-on-track-narrowing-yield-curve-could-complicate-debate/ | [

North Carolina Democrats made a lot of progress last night in winning back seats long held by Republicans, but there was one clear factor that prevented a sizable “blue wave” from truly transforming state politics: partisan gerrymandering. We’ve known for years that Republican majorities in the General Assembly and the state’s congressional delegation have far exceeded the size of their actual support in a closely divided “purple” state, but last night’s results really brought that fact home again.
This was most obvious in the state’s 13 congressional districts where the total vote was almost dead even, despite the presence of nine extremely well-funded Republican incumbents and one race — the third district — in which Democrats didn’t even field a candidate. In the 12 contested races, the vote total thus far shows Republicans winning 1,642,344 votes or about 48.5% while Democrats won 1,747,742 or around 51.5%. Yet, despite this impressive performance, Democrats only won three of the 12 seats.
I’ve yet to add up all of the numbers, but a preliminary glance at legislative races reveals what appears to be a similar pattern: Republicans will still enjoy sizable majorities almost exclusively because of partisan gerrymandering.
The bottom line: Gerrymandering continue to remain a toxic and dangerous plague upon our democracy. Its elimination (and the adoption of a nonpartisan redistricting system) must remain at the top of the policy priority list for all caring and thinking people.
While I agree gerrymandering is disgraceful, even gerrymandering has little effect when you have such low voter turnouts. Being retired from public service, I remember people telling me I better be registered a certain party or I probably wouldn’t be hired. The older employees had lived by that system of changing their party affiliation on paper but not in actual vote. Does that affect gerrymandering?
It wasn’t struck down by the Supreme Court. They had chances last year in Gill v. Whitford (Wisconsin) and Abbott v. Perez (Texas) but they sent Wisconsin back to the lower courts with a lamer standard (ditto North Carolina) and they just let Texas stand because they are conservative bigoted liars. You don’t have to take MY word for that — it was 5-4 so at least 4 esteemed constitutional scholars concur in that judgment. | 2019-04-20T00:38:44 | https://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2018/11/07/gerrymandering-the-wall-that-prevented-a-true-democratic-victory/ | [

September has come & gone, & I’ve been pretty busy. Between scheduling visits to see my doctor about the health & maintenance of my lady parts, & family events, & anniversaries (of sorts), it’s been a pretty hectic time for me. I’ve been inwardly thinking a lot latey, & there have been a few key things that have been circling around in my scattered brain.
First things first, this past month officially marked the 5-year anniversary of my father’s death. I rarely discuss this topic to anyone, ever. Ocassionally I’ll talk to Jian, but I mostly keep this topic to myself. This is an extremely sensitive subject within my immediate family, & I have an even more extremely difficult time trying to talk about this topic with any of my family members. I really have to walk on eggshells around my family if I even mention my dad in passing. I wish I was exaggerating on this, but unfortunately I’m not.
This is an especially difficult subject to talk about around my mom because this will just re-open an old can of doubt she carries around with her in her expensive hand bag at all times. It’s hard to pull her out of her cycle of self-doubt once she gets on the Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda train. I also never talk about this subject with my siblings. We just don’t express our feelings to each other. That’s not what we were taught growing up, to communicate & express our feelings between each other.
I’ve tried talking about my dad to my oldest brother, in which we share this biological father together, but he flat out doesn’t respond whenever I mention “dad”. My other two siblings, on the other hand, are too busy squabbling amongst themselves over their extremely strained & estranged relationship with their own biological father. All of them, due to our glaringly large age gaps, I assume, treat me from childhood up until today like I am just the little baby sister of the group. To them, I’m the spoiled, sheltered, coddled baby of the family. So, I’ve learned to stay quiet & shrink into the background.
On the day of the anniversary of my dad’s death, I thought about him long & hard. However, I mostly thought about how I never got to properly grieve over his death. I never got to mourn his passing. From the time my dad was taken to the hospital up until his death, I did what I always do best. I nurtured & cared for others. More than myself, I took care of everyone else. So, while all of our friends & family poured in to see my dad, hold his hand, shed a tear, say goodbye, I was busy making phone calls & comforting those who were agonizing & weeping over the phone. I wanted to break down & cry my eyes out until they hurt, but I held it all in. I wanted to scream & shout & stomp my feet & pound my fists, but I didn’t want to freak my mom out any more than she already was. Because I didn’t want to see my (at that time) fragile mother completely lose it, I held my composure so that I could be her realiable shoulder to lean on. When everyone around me was crying, I kept a stiff upper lip. I’ve now built this hard shell around the topic of my father. I keep everything to myself. I only let my emotions & feelings slip out when I am completely & utterly alone. No one ever asked me how I felt when my dad was dying. Nobody asks me, even now, how I’m coping (or feeling). I’ve grown accustomed to it.
On another topic, I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I will never see eye-to-eye with my sister. We never did when we were growing up together, we don’t now, & I don’t think we ever will in the future. For a brief period of time, I thought my sister & were growing closer as siblings once she started having children. My sister relied on me to help her with the little things like running to the grocery store, or babysitting the toddler kids for a few hours.
Then, when my sister went through the process of her divorce, she grew to become a very difficult person to get close to. She became increasingly controlling in all aspects of her life to the point of overbearingness. It also became difficult to have a conversation with her, even on neutral subjects, for she would get argumentative very quickly.
I always give my sister the benefit of the doubt; I cut her plenty of slack; I give her countless breaks because I know she is struggling & doing her best to be a good hard-working single parent. My sister is struggling to raise her two amazing children, all while juggling a difficult job environment, an overbearing cuss of a boss, & a resistant ex-husband who allegedgly refuses to properly co-parent their children together. While I try to make my sister’s life a little easier by offering to help her in any way I can, she ends up taking advantage of my assistance, & she often tells me that my help is actually not helping her at all. I know my sister has past unresolved issues, extreme insecurities, & a lot of resentment due to her parents divorce (a.k.a. our mom & her biological father) when she was a child, but because she hasn’t dealt with these issues, she unwittingly takes out her resentments on the people around her.
I know she doesn’t mean to project her insecurities & issues on others (myself included), but I can’t help but think to myself sometimes that I should be taken out of her “line of fire” because all of this divorce stuff happened way before I was even born. Why should she take out her resentments & issues out on me, when I wasn’t even born? On top of that, I have no connection to her father whatsoever. I’ve barely met him a handful of times throughout my entire life, & we’ve never spoken more than 1 or 2 sentences to each other at best. I don’t hold anything against my sister. I know these are her own demons to slay, but I can’t help but think that she’s not making things any better by snapping at other innocent people.
The third item I want to talk about is coming from a completely different direction. I want to talk about the dreams I’ve been having lately. I wish I could remember the dreams I’ve been having lately. They’ve been extremely vivid & detailed. For the past several days, I’ve fallen into a terrible sleeping pattern. I’ll try to go to bed at a more reasonable hour than I have been in the past. I really am trying to change my sleeping habits. However, for the past several days I’ve been waking up feeling extremely groggy, exhausted, & like my mind has been on overdrive all night long.
Some mornings I’ll even wake up with a sore back, noticing that I was in such a deep sleep the night before that I didn’t even move or change positions while I was sleeping. My body was frozen into one position all night. I will wake up feeling like I’d only taken a nap & had not really had a full night’s sleep. I can sometimes recall bits & pieces of my dreams in the morning, but mostly all I can remember is that in my dreams there were a lot of action scenes & lots of talking. There was one morning when I woke up & I could remember that I had intense thoughts in my dream, like I knew what my dream-state character was thinking in the dream. I could remember whether I was running or walking in my dream. I could vaguely remember talking to other people in my dream. I remember one scene perfectly, where I was trying to climb a set of stairs in the backyard of my house, & the stairs were crumbling beneath me. I could practically feel the soft wood when I tried to grab the gate door with my hands. That’s how intense & vivd my dreams were.
My dreams lately have been so action-packed, as in I move around a lot in my dreams, & I’m often moving from place to place in my dreams. I also do a lot of thinking & talking in my dreams. There was one day where I woke up from a particularly intense dream. Well, I mostly woke up because my bladder was screaming at me to go relieve myself in the bathroom. However, after that, I fell back to sleep & had yet another vivid dream. That caused me to feel very disoriented when I finally woke up for the day. These past couple of days of dreaming have really messed up my sleeping patterns, & has kind of done a number on my body. Last week, my sleeping pattern was so out of whack that I ended up getting sick. I caught a fever & the chills, but luckily those symptoms only lasted 24 hours. I was back on my feet again by the time the weekend came around. Now, I can assure you that my sleeping patterns have returned to normal. I stopped having such vivid & detailed dreams, & I’m now waking up feeling more refreshed than groggy.
On one final note, I’m excited to tell you all that in two weeks from now, I’ll be in Taipei, Taiwain!! Yes, I’m going on another trip again, but I can promise you that this trip is not for my personal pleasure. This time I’m escorting & chaperoning my mother & her sister, who haven’t been back to the city where they grew up for more than 35 years. I can understand that these two (senior) sisters are reluctant to travel by themselves, so when my mom causally invited Jian & myself to travel with them, we eagerly said yes. Jian loves Taiwain, & I love to travel with my mom & aunt. Also, I like to take care of my mom, & I want to chaperone her so that she will feel safe & comfortable knowing she has someone with her who can help her & keep her company (besides the company of her loving sister).
My mom is feeling both excited & anxious going back to the city where she grew up after too many years of being away. She’s had countless invitations by her friends & many opportunities to go back to Taipei, but she always declined & found an excuse not to go. This time she put her foot down & decided to go back, or else she might miss her opportunity when she gets older & is no longer able to take long flights. I am so excited to be there with my mom as she relives a little bit of her childhood memories. I feel kind of disappointed that my other siblings (the ones that share the same biological mother with me) don’t do these kinds of things for my mom or with my mom. I understand a little that they each have their own obligations in their lives (like difficult work schedules & raising children), in which they can’t just pack a bag & fly off to wherever, but a part of me feels like they’re missing out on important milestones & memorable experiences with our mother that could bring them closer together.
I am so grateful, appreciative, happy, lucky & fortunate to have opportunities like this, especially ones where I can just drop everything, pack my bags & go without a care in the world. I make sure that I take care of my own personal obligations & tasks first, so that I can enjoy these special moments with my family & friends. I can’t wait to showcase my trip to Taipei. I am not going to promise a travel blog this time. I’m really bad at sticking to those, but I’m going to at least try to upload photos whenever I can. Until then, 干杯 (dry cup), everyone! | 2019-04-26T10:03:50 | https://melsenpai.com/tag/blog/page/2/ | [
