The New England Tigers maintained their perfect Region 7 mark with three wins in the Region tournament last week. New England’s first tournament win knocked Hazen out of the tournament and their second knocked out Hettinger-Scranton, setting up a showdown with the Dickinson Trinity Titans.
Trinity got to the finals by topping Killdeer and Heart River during their first two tournament games, but getting a third tournament win proved too tough even though Trinity was playing on its home floor. They fell 58-48, giving New England a coveted state playoff berth.
The game was typical of a Region 7 championship game with both teams alternating turns in the lead but, at the end of three rounds, New England was slightly ahead 40-37. New England came out looking like a boxer or UFC fighter in the final round of a close bout.
New England was looking for the knock-out punch and started the quarter on a 6-2 run that had deceiving importance. The run put New England up 46-39 with about five minutes left in the game.
Trinity responded with a Brock Messer put-back basket with 3:40 left, cutting New England’s lead to five, 46-41. But Trinity 3-point marksman Willy Jahner couldn’t deliver the momentum counter 3-pointer to pull Trinity within two.
New England attacked off the Trinity miss, adding two buckets and making the score 50-41. Trinity Head Coach Gregg Grinsteinner called a timeout to regroup and give a final push with 2:06 left in the game, but it was too late. | 2019-04-25T13:56:48 | https://www.bhgnews.com/newspapers/hazenstar/hazen-star-sports/region-7-boys-tourney-concludes/ | [

Many of these Christmas traditions are universal, but most of our rituals are made unique thanks to a specific family spin. Here are the traditions that I wouldn’t want to miss – and how my friends and family enjoy them in their own special ways.
When it comes to opening presents, being patient on the big day is always a challenge, whether you’re two or, ahem, 32. Some people are mature and disciplined enough to wait until after the Queen’s speech.
However, for others, tradition dictates that the exchange of gifts happens on Christmas Eve. This isn’t necessarily down to impatience, it’s a big cultural tradition across Europe.
In France, festivities usually begin with an elaborate, multi-course dinner on Christmas eve, called “le réveillon de Noël” – and presents typically follow. Some people follow this tradition for different reasons.
Most regular churchgoers wouldn’t dream of celebrating the season without attending midnight Mass. Even if your approach to festivities is typically more secular, a late night church visit can be a way of starting a busy, boozy 72 hours in a peaceful, contemplative setting.
OK, it’s peaceful and contemplative until the pubs close, and you have the chance to hear tipsy churchgoers turn up late and then really go for it and try to do the descant of O Come All Ye Faithful. My family are faithful midnight Mass attendees, and equally committed to staying sober for the duration of the service.
However, tradition dictates that as soon as we get home afterwards, we get stuck into the red wine and hot sausage rolls.
Many people dread Secret Santa, the tradition of buying an anonymous gift for a selected participant, usually for under a fiver.
Often the ritual involves forgetting about it until the 22nd, getting an email that reminds you that you’re supposed to be swapping presents over lunch, and hyperventilating at the till of your nearest stationery shop wondering whether Nigel from accounts really wants a photo frame decorated with pineapples.
However, my five sisters and I have made Secret Santa a family tradition – and we each buy one gift for one sister, instead of presenting each other with a series of pineapple photo frames.
Secret Santa comes with its own micro traditions, like trying to coordinate the draw using an app, syncing it with Facebook, and accidentally inviting old colleagues and ex boyfriends to exchange gifts, before giving up and doing it with bits of paper.
A full stocking simply isn’t enough to prove that your house has been visited by Father Christmas – savvy Santa fans like to see a smeary, empty sherry glass, a few mince pie crumbs, or at least a discarded, nibbled carrot top, abandoned by Rudolph.
Some parents report that since they’ve had children, Santa has started leaving sparkly footprints between the fireplace and the tree. In addition to the standard schooner and pie, I used to leave Santa a chocolate tree decoration, and courteous Santa would always thank me for it in his handwritten letter.
Now I think about it, it’s amazing that Santa could visit the houses of every single boy and girl in the world and have time to leave a note. That’s a man who knows how to work to a deadline.
The spherical, white iced, berry embellished Christmas pudding is such an iconic festive symbol that it’s hard to believe that there isn’t a Christmas pudding emoji.
Any tradition that involves setting food on fire is a thrilling one – whether your pudding has been boiled and steamed after months of preparation, or whether, like my family, you concentrate all of your anticipating energies into the five minutes that it spends in the microwave.
The True Grace Vetiver candle is the epitome of gorgeous, woody, wintry warmth. | 2019-04-22T16:12:10 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/christmas/family-festivities/family-traditions/ | [

Islam fled Syria for a new life with her children.
They're called the “brides of ISIS”. The women who married jihadis fighting in the deserts of Syria and Iraq.
Now, one woman who married an Australian who went to fight — and eventually die — for ISIS has claimed she was duped into heading for the frontline. And she has hinted that she might want to bring her children, born as terror raged around them, to Australia.
“I don’t want to tell them (about their fathers) because maybe they will be scared and they will say my daddy was in ISIS and this will make their life bad,” Islam Mitat told reporter Tara Brown on Sunday’s 60 Minutes.
ISIS is now on the run, their territory vastly reduced in size and Raqqa is no longer in their hands. Some academics have said women like Ms Mitat, and their kids who have been dubbed the “cubs of the caliphate”, should be allowed to come to Australia. The argument being not everyone who found themselves behind enemy lines was a terrorist.
Ms Mitat has never been to Australia. Indeed, if her claims are true, it’s Britain rather than Australia where she should now be. A physics student, she was born in Morocco and had dreams of a career in fashion.
Like many young people looking for love, she went online to find it. But not Tinder, Ms Mitat logged onto Muslima.com, a place for people of faith to match make. In 2004, she met a British businessman called Ahmed Khalil.
He promised to bring her to Britain. But under the cover of a holiday to Turkey, Ms Mitat found herself on a well-worn extremist highway to Syria.
“I saw too many women with kids. They were in black and I asked them what’s happening, where are we going? They tell me to Syria. When they told me Syria I started to cry,” she said.
Once in Raqqa, Ms Mitat and her husband were put up in an area full of foreign fighters including notorious Australian doctor turned terrorist Tareq Kamleh who become a poster boy for the horrific regime.
Just a month in, Ms Mitat was given the news every parent dreams of. But her reaction was very different.
Days later, her husband did die, in battle. A woman being alone was not an option under ISIS. Quickly she found herself married to Australian Faisal Sahib.
“He came to help the Muslims. But he told me when he came he was shocked.” Sahib wanted to leave, she said: “Because what they told him was just a lie. He told me his missed his (Australian) life, He missed boxing. He told me ‘I wish I didn’t come here’”.
Ms Mitat said Sahib, who had been injured, spent much of his time helping his new wife raise little Abdullah, her son from her first husband. Then they had their own child named Maria.
When he recovered, and as was demanded, Sahib went back to the frontline. He was killed in a Coalition air strike. Ms Mitat said she was alone once again. And she was terrified this time.
Ms Mitat said she went to her neighbour and asked for help: “I tell him, I don’t want to sleep in the land of ISIS. If we die, we die, if not we will have a new life”.
Eventually, Ms Mitat made it across the front line and into territory controlled by the YPG, Kurdish fighters battling ISIS.
When she realised she was safe, it was like “new life, like you were just born,” she said.
Four months later she was back in Morocco. She has vowed not to tell Abdullah or Maria about their killer fathers, to spare them the horror.
Ms Mitat told 60 Minutes that while her life is in Morocco for now, one day she might look to bring her kids to Australia, the homeland of Maria’s father.
While many may question whether a so-called “bride of ISIS” who lived alongside terrorists, should be allowed into the country, some say it is worth considering.
Counter-terrorism expert Professor Greg Barton from Deakin University told the program he understood why people were apprehensive. Certainly there were some people who had fought with ISIS who were just as radicalised, just as extreme and bloodthirsty.
“There are others for whom it’s pretty clear the story checks out. They weren’t involved deliberately in any terror group, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they did stupid things. They’ll be kept under some sort of surveillance, but they’re not a concern.” said Prof Barton.
“My dream?” said Ms Mitat. “I want a normal life with my kids. This is what I want now. I just look at my kids. I feel so sorry for them. I’m trying to keep myself strong just for them to show them they don’t need their father with them”. | 2019-04-21T20:13:27 | https://www.whimn.com.au/talk/news/widowed-bride-of-isis-just-wants-normal-life/news-story/383fafe6446c97a877f91a9eb57d3b67 | [

Every month we get together with a few of our favorite neighbors for Taco Night. We take turns hosting and stuff our faces with homemade tacos, chips, salsa, and play card games until late in the night.
Taco Nights are so fun because everyone brings a dish to share. One neighbor always brings a different variety of gourmet salsas for us to taste-test. Another brings a collection of hot sauces! No matter what though, everyone always asks me to bring this guacamole. I have a favorite guacamole recipe I have been perfecting for the past few years. It is a HUGE hit at Taco Night and everyone always raves over it.
First peel and quarter a red onion and place it in a food processor.
Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. You’ll be adding a few more things and processing it more, so it doesn’t have to be too finely diced at this stage.
Next, chop off the top of a jalapeno and split in half. If you can handle the heat, go ahead and throw it in just like this.
As well as a handful (about a cup) of cilantro. Just roughly chop the leaves off the stems and throw them in the bowl.
Pulse a few more times until coarsely chopped.
Next, grab two plum (aka roma) tomatoes and split in half.
And scrape out the seeds.
And pulse until finely chopped. You could stop here and have pico de gallo!
When choosing avocados to make guacamole, they should give when squeezed, but not be mushy. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
Add the juice of half a lemon and half a lime (about a tablespoon of each).
And PLENTY of salt and pepper. I usually start with 1/2 teaspoon each. And for that “secret ingredient” flavor, add a dash of cumin.
Finally, add as much of the pico de gallo mixture to the avocados as you’d like to get your desired texture. Stir with a fork until just combined. I like to leave my guacamole a little chunky. I usually have about 1/2 to 1 cup of the pico mixture leftover.
Place the rest of the pico de gallo in separate bowl for dipping chips and topping on tacos.
To serve, place the guacamole in a bowl and cover with slices of lime. This will keep the guacamole from turning brown! As the night goes on and the guacamole gets eaten, people can remove slices of lime to reveal more fresh guacamole.
Peel and quarter a red onion and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Remove the seeds from a jalapeno, then cut into 4 pieces and add to bowl. Add the cilantro and pulse a few more times until coarsely chopped. Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds, and add to the bowl. Pulse a few more times until finely chopped.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a separate bowl. Add the lemon and lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin if desired.
Add all but one cup of the onion mixture to the avocados and stir with a fork until just combined. I prefer to leave my guacamole a little chunky. Add more of the onion mixture if desired. I usually use all but 1/2-1 cup of the mixture. Set out the remaining onion mixture (pico de gallo) for dipping chips or topping on tacos.

I love guacamole! I could eat it every day, but I find most recipes are bland. This one looks like it would have all the flavour I need. Really looking forward to trying it; love the idea of adding a little cumin.
great tip on the lime slices. Just wanted to confirm you use a whole red onion, not 1/2? Your ingredients state 1/2 red onion.
It’s like two recipes in one shot! Pico and guac :) Great tip at the end! I’ve heard of adding lime juice to keep avocados from turning brown, but never covering with lime slices…mind blown!
What a fun tradition to have with your neighbors! Looks delicious!
Not to mention that avocados are an incredibly healthy near-perfect food loaded with important nutrients, such as potassium. I love to see mothers giving their little ones avocados straight out of the skin! Great to something so nutritious among your recipes!
Sounds nice Kevin and Amanda. Thank you and have a great week!
Guacamole is one of our favorite things — I can’t wait to try this recipe! LOVE that trick with the limes!! GENIUS!! | 2019-04-25T01:13:26 | https://www.kevinandamanda.com/best-guacamole-recipe/ | [

Emphasis is defined as “the concentration of focus or electricity on some thing or someone.” In relation to therapeutic – no matter whether it is really health-related healing, ayahuasca canada legal , strength therapeutic, or almost every other sort of alternate healing – you won’t recognize achievement with out good concentrate.
Look at, you injure your leg, and since on the intense pain, you request healthcare assistance. On the other hand, any time you see the medical doctor, rather of focusing on your hurt leg and telling him about the injuries and pain, since you are really fatigued, you start telling him how exhausted you happen to be, how you cannot slumber at night, not mentioning the bring about in your insomnia could be the agony inside your leg. Because you brought up the sleeping challenge as a substitute of one’s harm, the medical professional assumes that you arrived in to determine him about rest difficulties, and he asks you thoughts regarding your sleeping. The entire office go to usually takes an unanticipated transform – the main focus isn’t on the leg injuries but on the not sleeping during the night. Consequently, the medical doctor prescribes a little something for your rest challenges and in no way figured out about your leg harm.
The above state of affairs often parallels other therapeutic settings. Somebody is trying to get therapeutic for something, and somehow the focus gets sidetracked to one thing else, and also the risk of therapeutic will become nullified before it at any time receives from the ground since the necessary emphasis receives sidetracked.
So as for healing to take position, the main focus must be on therapeutic and not on everything else. In case the concentration is misdirected, a therapeutic is often channeled from the improper path as inside the leg-injury circumstance earlier mentioned or, if healing work is completed by someone for one’s self and also the concentrate is misdirected, the therapeutic work will abort or be negated based upon situation, plus the ailment could become exacerbated.
When doing healing do the job for one’s self, the main focus will have to wholly be on therapeutic – the mind ought to not be distracted by a Tv method within the background (for example), or on ideas of incidents that happened previously inside the day, or on things that must be carried out. Should the intellect is permitted to wander, the therapeutic strength developed by somebody can be also weak to carry out any fantastic, or it may possibly turn into warped or tainted, triggering the electrical power to generally be ineffective or, in some cases without the need of noticing it, behave in unforeseen strategies.
It wasn’t the religious therapeutic strength that failed to result a therapeutic. The real perpetrator behind the failure was the bad concentrate on therapeutic, enabling matters from the track record and stray thoughts to affect the standard and efficiency of your healing electrical power, and negating and nullifying the energy’s energy to heal. | 2019-04-26T14:00:25 | http://www.templatejoomlas.com/tag/natural-health/ | [

Generally, the washer bottle filler cap, will be at the front of the engine bay when you open the bonnet. It will take the words ‘Washer Fill’ or a logo that represents the spraying of the windscreen washers. Do not open any of the lids under your bonnet unless you are 100% sure what you are doing. Some of these bottles lead directly to engine coolant and can burn you if you open them. If in doubt, please call into the workshop, and we will show you the right one and give you a tour around your engine so you can understand a little more about what happens under the bonnet.
Once you have correctly located the Washer Bottle, you need to add the right kind of cleaning fluid. If you have nothing else you can just use plain, pure, clean, cold water. However, you should use a windscreen washing solution that has been diluted correctly with water. Again if you need help or advice, please call us or call in. | 2019-04-24T20:15:22 | https://www.arnel.co.nz/news-item/check-your-washer-bottle | [

“Deseo poco y lo poco que deseo lo deseo poco”.
This is the phrase that was on the epitaph of our friend Roberto’s funeral and there were perfect words to describe his life and how he decided to live it. We started our time in Ecuador with such sad news, Roberto’s sudden sickness and death.
Roberto was a dear friend to us and when we started our trip and spent those months in Ecuador in 2014, lots of this time was spent with him and his girlfriend Fenja. They were one of those couples who you just click with. We were going through similar things, the four of us, decided to leave our lives behind and start new adventures, us in the water with Ondular, they on the road with El Verde. Time spent together was just easy, we laughed and shared stories, it kind of felt like we were part of the same team, a team of travellers, of the ones that were doing something different.
After our time in Ecuador, our physical paths parted, they went on to travel from Ecuador, through Peru and Bolivia all the way to Uruguay and we went on to the Caribbean to buy the boat, but throughout these months we faithfully kept in touch, sharing our adventures and misadventures, and planning a future rendezvous.
Unfortunately live has a way of surprising you when you least expect it and when in August I wasn’t getting many responses from them, I had a feeling that something was wrong. In September on my quick visit to Ecuador I found out the horrible news that Roberto was sick, a tumour had been found in his brain and he wasn’t doing that well. He and Fenja had to now face a complete change of plans, leaving their travelling behind and settling in Ecuador to fight the tumour. By the time we got back to Ecuador at the end of November, Roberto was being operated to remove part of it and there were positive expectations from the operation.
We thought we were going to be at the right time to help him overcome the operation and support him on his path to recovery but he never recovered from the operation and he passed away in the middle of December. I’m glad we were there for Fenja during these unimaginable hard times. Fenja is a true inspiration to me of strength and love. They are one of the most wonderful couples I’ve ever met, and to see them going through this was heartbreaking and it still is.
Galapagos was the place where we had planned to meet again so being here now brings a sad feeling to it. Roberto is with us though, maybe not physically but in our hearts, in every wave we surf and in every sunset we see. He was an amazing soul, always happy always willing to give. He always had an advice or a story to tell so I feel really grateful to have known him as my friend and to have shared those times together. Thanks to him I got to meet my now dear friend Fenja and I know we’ll share more memories together with her. He left us his life as the message: live simply, live well, give to others and always smile. Thanks Roberto for your light and love. You are in our hearts forever. | 2019-04-25T15:47:29 | https://freeinthesea2014.com/category/thoughts/ | [

Marc Andreessen believes startups are burning cash--but they'll still get funding.
Startups might not be spending responsibly, but that doesn't mean venture capitalists will be giving them less money.
In fact, they might be spending more.
"The argument is that tech is permeating more industries than ever before," said venture capitalist Marc Andreessen at the Wall Street Journal Digital conference in Laguna Beach, Calif.
Last month, Andreessen made headlines for his Tweetstorm critiquing tech startups for blowing through cash, telling them to "worry" about their spending.
Related: Apple Pay signup is "fantastic"
He held firm on his stance on burn rates (how quickly firms spend capital) in a conversation with Jonathan Krim of the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
"Cash burn is getting out of hand," said Andreessen. "You want to have a reasonable valuation, reasonable cash burn." But he said founders often got overly excited (or depressed) and spent the money too quickly.
That said, venture capital funding is an "exercise" in finding the unicorns, according to Andreessen. Venture capitalists invest in $20 to $30 billion in about 4,000 companies a year, knowing that only about 15 will be home runs.
"Every 12 months, there are 15 companies created that will generate 90% of all [venture capital] returns," Andreessen said.
But with technology touching more industries -- will that number increase?
"That's the debate we're having internally," said Andreessen. "Airbnb's [valuation] is hard to argue with."
Airbnb was valued at $10 billion earlier this year, and Andreessen called it a "home run" for real estate startups. He said Uber and Lyft (of which he is an investor) were the same for the transportation industry. | 2019-04-21T19:30:32 | https://money.cnn.com/2014/10/28/technology/wsjd-marc-andreessen/index.html | [

Typical sanga phenotype, with long horns, large to medium in body size; tall at withers; small and cervico-thoracic hump; moderately developed dewlap. The Bahima are the tallest of the Ankole group of cattle, and they are the most susceptible of the Ankole to rinderpest and trypanosomosis. Coat colour is mainly dark red and light brown, and some are black, grey, dun white and pied. Until the conflicts of the Lakes region in recent decades, the Bahima had been free of zebu influence seen in the sanga of Ethiopia and the Sudan (Rege and Tawah, 1999).
Maintained by the tribe of the same name in two areas that are separated by tsetse-infested territory. One of these is located in north-eastern Zaire and across the border in north-western Uganda. The second group is in southern Uganda and northern Tanzania.
The original cattle were brought to western and southern Uganda by Hamitic tribes migrating from north-eastern Africa and possibly the Sahel in the 13th and 15th centuries. One theory states that the original Ankole cattle evolved around Ethiopian highlands (epicentre of Sanga dispersal) and the Bahima tribes brought them to northern Uganda (Rege and Tawah, 1999). Another theory argues that the Ankole cattle with their characteristic long horns probably evolved around present-day Uganda, and developed further into the local strains of this sanga group (Felius, 1995). | 2019-04-23T11:55:20 | http://cod.dagris.info/node/2397 | [

As part of the Vivid Vocal Visionary celebration on March 18, Teresa Younger will be joining Women’s Fund CEO, Donna Haghighat, for a “talk show” style conversation about investing in women and girls. Teresa is familiar with Western Massachusetts as she previously served as the executive director of the Connecticut General Assembly’s Permanent Commission on the Status of Women and as executive director of the ACLU of Connecticut – making her the first African American and the first woman to hold that position. Although she works in New York, Teresa resides in Connecticut.
Teresa is a renowned thought leader, strategist, advocate, activist and amplifier having spent over 20 years on the frontlines of some of the most critical battles affecting the lives of women and their communities. Under Teresa’s leadership at Ms. Foundation, the Foundation launched #MyFeminismls, a multimedia campaign sparking a national conversation on feminism; funded a groundbreaking report on the sexual abuse to prison pipeline; joined leading women’s foundations at the White House (under the Obama Administration) to announce a $100 million funding commitment to create pathways to economic opportunity for low-income women and girls; and led a campaign to hold the NFL accountable for violence against women. Most recently, Teresa led the development of the Ms. Foundation’s bold new strategic plan, in which the organization has chosen to center women and girls of color to challenge the philanthropic sector (and all of us) around how women, particularly women and girls of color, are being invested in.
Donna invited Teresa to be the guest speaker for the Vivid Vocal Visionary event because the Ms. Foundation’s new strategic plan closely aligns with the recent focus of the Women’s Fund on young women and girls of color through the Young Women’s Initiative, as well as a shared goal to have more women step into political leadership. Donna and Teresa first met in Connecticut when Teresa was the executive director for the Permanent Commission on the Status of Women and Donna was the executive director at Aurora Foundation for Women and Girls in Greater Hartford.
Teresa sits at the critical intersections of gender and race in the philanthropic space serving on initiatives to shape and change the narrative of women and girls, including Grantmakers for Girls of Color, Funders for Reproductive Equity, Philanthropy New York, and Black Funders for Social Justice. Additionally, Teresa serves on a number of boards including the Ethel Walker School and Essie Justice Group. She is a proud lifetime Girl Scout and Gold Award recipient.
We’re excited to be able to introduce Teresa to our supporters on March 18th. Learn more about the Vivid Vocal Visionary event here. Tickets for the program and dinner are $125 individual and $1250 for a table of ten. All proceeds support the mission of the Women’s Fund. The celebration honors the Women’s Fund founders Dianne Fuller Doherty, Sally Livingston, and Martha Richards, as well as Kristi Nelson, founding executive director.
Sponsorship and program ad opportunities can be found here. | 2019-04-23T08:15:39 | https://www.mywomensfund.org/get-to-know-teresa-younger/ | [

It's pretty inconsiderate of people, really, to flock to sports events and the like in such voluminous numbers. As a result, poor video game developers have had to spend the past two decades trying to do crowds right. One person on-screen? Easy. Ten people? Pretty tough, but alright. All 109,901 spectators in Michigan Stadium, all the officials and a game of American football? Give the poor guys a break!
Def Jam's super-'street' fighting gameplay is context-heavy, which is undeniably one of the game's greatest pulls. But while cars and other scenery elements all make for interesting diversions, it's the crowds that are the best part.
For starters, the individually-rendered onlookers add a real Fight Club atmosphere to the proceedings as they goad the fighters on. But the best thing about them is the quality of their haircuts. Nah, not really. It is, of course, their interactivity. Shove your opponent into the crowd and someone will grab hold, even assisting you in a team-up move. Mightily impressive for 2004, it's surprising it hasn't caught on more in recent years.
But while Def Jam has the interactivity, Street Fighter has superior reactivity. The stages in SFIV are full of individuals that each appear to have an interesting story to tell. They watch the fight with excitement or annoyance, especially when the fracas destroys an element of the background scenery.
And of course, it all goes back to Street Fighter 2 and the infamous chicken-choker. Does one man and a chicken count as a crowd? We're going to go with yes. But two frames of animation aren't enough to make our 'best crowds' list. We hope the news doesn't leave the chicken too choked.
NHL Hockey actually predated FIFA in the shape of EA Hockey, which came out in 1991. And, sure enough, it offered 2D crowds with individual people in them. Again, they were animated at varying speeds to simulate excitement if someone hit the post or upended another player. But I've chosen this version for a reason.
There was one dude in a red top and blonde hair, who would sometimes get up out of his chair and walk down to the perspex barrier and watch the game from there. An audience member actually behaving like a real person as an incidental detail. It was the most amazing thing my friend and I had seen. Combine that with NHLPA Hockey '93's glass getting smashed at the back and it was evident this was the best sports game ever.
Similar to Def Jam, VF4 featured one stage with a 3D-rendered crowd. OK, so you couldn't get caught up in them and they were only ever really silhouettes of people, but it was the atmosphere that this gave the fight, not to mention the technical achievement of rendering that many 3D bodies at 60fps.
This is what happens when a gameplay engine is already at the peak of its evolution and then a shed-load of new power comes along to help make everything else that little bit more awesome. FIFA 14's crowds are vast, fully 3D-rendered and react to the action realistically. Admittedly, they don't hand-sign 'wanker' when the opposing team scores right in front of them, but maybe the Millwall Fan Pack DLC is still to come.
Either way, what there is is wonderful, with no visible compromises in terms of resolution or frame rate. They're just there, totally absorbed in the unfolding match, ready to jump up and down when the ball goes in. Lovely.
Conversely, this was how FIFA first depicted its football fans. Cartoony, huh? Now, if you're too young to remember, you'll likely laugh when I say this, but this was a revolution in visuals in 1993. Reviews at the time said things like 'squint a bit and you could be watching Match of the Day'.
Complete nonsense, of course. Especially as Match of the Day rarely sees a player sprint five laps around the pitch hoping the ref will give up trying to give him a yellow card. Gaming may have come a long way, but we've arguably lost something in that respect. Anyway, individual isometric 2D people in a crowd = awesome.
Now this is an interesting one. You know how great the NBA 2K series has always been? Well, it's developed by a team called Visual Concepts. Visual Concepts made NBA Action '98, which was also known as NBA Fastbreak on PlayStation. In other words, this was the first NBA 2K game, before the year 2K had even come around. Predictably, the result was sensational.
On 32-bit machines, people had become accustomed to crowds being rendered as flat textures of crowds on polygonal stands. It wasn't ideal, looked crap from acute angles and basically forced us to pretend gaming was actually better than it really was. But Visual Concepts' NBA spectators were not only strips of upright rows of spectators, they were animated too. Sure, it was always the same animation run at different speeds to show various levels of enthusiasm, but it was a major breakthrough.
The NBA 2K series on Dreamcast is still visually impressive. The first video I saw of the game in action was pure wizardry, riding the Hogwarts Express and chanting an Oculus Explodum charm. Because behind the impossibly detailed and smoothly-animated players were individual spectators sitting on individual seats. Considering this was scant few years after NBA Action 98's flat rows of people, this kind of fidelity was akin to the leap between 480i and 1080p. Nay, bigger.
This is the best crowd in gaming. Ever. Every single spectator is rendered in full 3D, affected by lighting and what's happening on the court. They get louder as the game gets more intense. They stand up and wave things around. Could be handkerchiefs, could be underwear. Depends if Tom Jones is playing.
Obviously the Power of Next-Gen means they're all unique, albeit with a few shared dress sense decisions. And at 1080p and 60fps, it really is like watching a real NBA game on TV. Having said that, I fully expect people to look back in another 20 years and laugh like you just did at FIFA Soccer, as there's still room for improvement. But for once, we can be happy. All of the people are accounted for. All of them.
Which one got crowded out?
This has been a pretty crowded article about crowds, but you what they say: Nine entries in a gallery is company, 10's a crowd. Or something. And apparently you know more Crowded House songs than you think you do. So crowd around and share your favourite crowds in the comments. Don't worry about crowding out other people, we want to 'cheer' what you think. Um... crowds.

North Turramurra, a suburb of Sydney in New South Wales is beautifully located 20 kilometers north-west of the Sydney central business district. Though it stretches in length and breadth up to 11.74 km2 yet it is well connected with the various mode of transportation. The population of North Turramurra is approximately 4257 people. Best places to be in North Turramurra are Samuel King and Orange Green. Some suburb around North Turramurra is North Wahroonga, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Wahroonga, St Ives Chase, Turramurra, Pymble, and St Ives.
Why North Turramurra should compare energy prices using Econnex?
We have had lot of gas and electricity providers claiming to offer bigger discount, but Econnex is the company which has really kept her promise. They compare electricity and gas bill so efficiently that you will defiantly save a bigger amount. I will always approach Econnex for all my power and gas needs. | 2019-04-22T08:14:15 | https://www.econnex.com.au/nsw/compare-electricity-gas-prices-deals-in-north-turramurra/ | [

If you want to pick a portfolio of computer languages to master, look at these 10 great options that are used across the cloud computing world.
When people think of choosing a computer language, they probably pick one of the well-known, general-purpose procedural languages taught in schools, such as C, Java, or Python. But these regular suspects are just the tips of the computer language iceberg — if it uses keywords and a structure to communicate information, it's a language. Here are 10 cloud languages to consider.
When it comes to data languages, SQL has been the undisputed ruler for decades. Even non-relational database servers talk some form of SQL. The cloud is just as full of SQL as all other areas of IT.
Here's a SQL joke that developers everywhere will understand. "A man walks into a bar and sees two tables. He says, 'Can I join you?'"
XML is used to describe documents rather than deliver a stream of orders. Since XML doesn't usually order computers around, it isn't usually thought of as a computer language.
XML is the popular data markup language, and that's mainly because of Java. Where there's Java, there's XML. And since Java has been powering large-scale distributed systems since way before cloud was a computing thing, XML documents are everywhere. Apache Hadoop configuration lives in XML files.
The R language helps developers with statistics, reports, and graphs. An interactive R tutorial exposes new developers to the joy of vectors, factors, and correlating data sets.
Amazon bundles the RStudio IDE with its EMR (Elastic MapReduce) service to help with big data analytics.
Clojure is not just a math language — it's both a general purpose and a functional language. It just so happens Clojure is popular with data analysts.
Apache Storm, the real-time data stream processor, is written in Clojure. Functional languages don't need the semi-colons that procedural languages do; you can see the semi-colons are only used for comments in this Clojure script.
Haskell is a functional language that is ideal for distributed computing, and a cloud Haskell platform project started a couple of years ago.
Even though Haskell has a fair adoption in industry and it's in the GitHub Top 20, Haskell take-up in the cloud so far is patchy — perhaps Haskell is perceived as being hard to learn. Find out for yourself at the Try Haskell tutorial.
Erlang came out of Ericsson. In the telecoms industry, products have to stay up forever, and everything (customers, connections, transactions, and records) is counted in millions.
A carrier-grade functional language sounds like an ideal fit for cloud computing. And in fact, despite not making the GitHub Top 20, Erlang powers popular cloud applications, including Riak, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, and even the LING unikernel.
Python is a high-level language that was designed to be readable. These days, pretty much anyone — really, anyone — can get started with Python. Learning aids include classes, books, and even an interactive Python tutorial.
OpenStack, the favourite Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) management software, is written in Python. Have a look at this Python code for the Nova client interface.
Go was created at Google a few years ago when some of Google's programmers were frustrated with languages such as Stroustrup's C++. Google provides an interactive Go tutorial and a Go Playground for getting to grips with the code.
Docker, the darling of cloud computing, is written in Go, along with many other projects in the Docker ecosystem.
GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) is a plain text formatting language used to document repos on GitHub. GFM is used by millions of developers, because millions of developers use GitHub.
Because there are so many cloud-specific projects such as Cloud Foundry on GitHub, GFM is good to know. And it's probably the simplest to learn of all the languages in this list.
The regex (REGular EXpression) syntax is disturbing to newcomers because it is practically symbolic — instead of keywords, there are single characters. Regex code looks like someone fell asleep on the keyboard. If you want to be scared off the regex language for life, check out this extreme example — a JSON parser.
However, regular expressions are a pillar of the Linux world. One of the core principles of the old UNIX OS and its Linux successor is the heavy use of text. Text is used everywhere — for configuration, on the command line, and in protocols. Regular expressions help developers manage that text.
There are many more good languages to choose from. Try spending some time with a book like the 2010 classic "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks," which will run you through languages that include Prolog and Scala. Or, choose your own portfolio of languages.
If you want less serious and more silly, take a quick diversion to the land of esoteric programming languages. Deadfish, anyone?
Will Go give Java a run for its money? | 2019-04-19T04:58:05 | https://www.techrepublic.com/article/10-of-the-coolest-cloud-programming-languages/ | [

Leonhard Euler (15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist, considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.
Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.
Variant: Madame... I have come from a country where one can be hanged for what one says.
All the greatest mathematicians have long since recognized that the method presented in this book is not only extremely useful in analysis, but that it also contributes greatly to the solution of physical problems. For since the fabric of the universe is most perfect, and is the work of a most wise Creator, nothing whatsoever takes place in the universe in which some relation of maximum and minimum does not appear. Wherefore there is absolutely no doubt that every effect in the universe can be explained as satisfactorily from final causes, by the aid of the method of maxima and minima, as it can from the effective causes themselves. Now there exist on every hand such notable instances of this fact, that, in order to prove its truth, we have no need at all of a number of examples; nay rather one's task should be this, namely, in any field of Natural Science whatsoever to study that quantity which takes on a maximum or a minimum value, an occupation that seems to belong to philosophy rather than to mathematics. Since, therefore, two methods of studying effects in Nature lie open to us, one by means of effective causes, which is commonly called the direct method, the other by means of final causes, the mathematician uses each with equal success. Of course, when the effective causes are too obscure, but the final causes are more readily ascertained, the problem is commonly solved by the indirect method; on the contrary, however, the direct method is employed whenever it is possible to determine the effect from the effective causes. But one ought to make a special effort to see that both ways of approach to the solution of the problem be laid open; for thus not only is one solution greatly strengthened by the other, but, more than that, from the agreement between the two solutions we secure the very highest satisfaction.
La construction d'une machine propre à exprimer tous les sons de nos paroles , avec toutes les articulations , seroit sans-doute une découverte bien importante. … La chose ne me paroît pas impossible.
It would be a considerable invention indeed, that of a machine able to mimic speech, with its sounds and articulations. … I think it is not impossible.
It will seem a little paradoxical to ascribe a great importance to observations even in that part of the mathematical sciences which is usually called Pure Mathematics, since the current opinion is that observations are restricted to physical objects that make impression on the senses. As we must refer the numbers to the pure intellect alone, we can hardly understand how observations and quasi-experiments can be of use in investigating the nature of numbers. Yet, in fact, as I shall show here with very good reasons, the properties of the numbers known today have been mostly discovered by observation, and discovered long before their truth has been confirmed by rigid demonstrations. There are many properties of the numbers with which we are well acquainted, but which we are not yet able to prove; only observations have led us to their knowledge. Hence we see that in the theory of numbers, which is still very imperfect, we can place our highest hopes in observations; they will lead us continually to new properties which we shall endeavor to prove afterwards. The kind of knowledge which is supported only by observations and is not yet proved must be carefully distinguished from the truth; it is gained by induction, as we usually say. Yet we have seen cases in which mere induction led to error. Therefore, we should take great care not to accept as true such properties of the numbers which we have discovered by observation and which are supported by induction alone. Indeed, we should use such discovery as an opportunity to investigate more exactly the properties discovered and to prove or disprove them; in both cases we may learn something useful.
Original title: Introductio in analysin infinitorum. Translated as Introduction to Analysis of the Infinite (1988–89) by John Blanton (Book I ISBN 0387968245; Book II ISBN 0387971327 (online version).
A conjecture about the nature of air, by which are to be explained the phenomenon which have been observed in the atmosphere (Conjectura circa naturam aeris, pro explicandis phaenomenis in atmosphaera observatis) (1870) (online version).
François Arago; Variant: Euler calculated without apparent effort, as men breathe, or as eagles sustain themselves in the wind.
Of no little importance are Euler's labors in analytical mechanics. ...He worked out the theory of the rotation of a body around a fixed point, established the general equations of motion of a free body, and the general equation of hydrodynamics. He solved an immense number and variety of mechanical problems, which arose in his mind on all occasions. Thus on reading Virgil's lines. "The anchor drops, the rushing keel is staid," he could not help inquiring what would be the ship's motion in such a case. About the same time as Daniel Bernoulli he published the Principle of the Conservation of Areas and defended the principle of "least action," advanced by P. Maupertius. He wrote also on tides and on sound.
Florian Cajori, A History of Mathematics (1893) "Euler, Lagrange and Laplace" p. 240.
Somebody said "Talent is doing what others find difficult. Genius is doing easily what others find impossible." ...by that definition, Euler was a genius. He could do the seemingly impossible, and he did it throughout his long and illustrious life. ...Way to Go, Uncle Leonhard!
William Dunham, "A Tribute to Euler" (Oct 14, 2008) 49:10, Clay Public Lecture, Harvard University Science Center, from the Clay Mathematics Institute.
Euler lacked only one thing to make him a perfect genius: He failed to be incomprehensible.
Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, as quoted by William Dunham, "A Tribute to Euler" (Oct 14, 2008) 48:27, Clay Public Lecture, Harvard University Science Center, from the Clay Mathematics Institute.
The study of Euler's works will remain the best school for the different fields of mathematics and nothing else can replace it.
Carl Friedrich Gauss, as quoted by Louise Grinstein, Sally I. Lipsey, Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education (2001) p. 235.
It is customary to consider Chebyshev, Gauss, Jacobi, and Legendre as the main creators of the theory of orthogonal polynomials. However, their contributions were directly influenced by Brouncker and Wallis who, in March of 1655, made discoveries which influenced the development of analysis for the next hundred years. Namely, Wallis found an infinite product of rational numbers converging to 4/π and Brouncker gave a remarkable continued fraction for this quantity. ...The only mathematician who understood the importance of these discoveries was Euler. ...he felt that the recovery of the original Brouncker's proof could open up new perspectives for analysis. As usual, Euler was right.
Mariano Giaquinta, Stefan Hildebrandt, Calculus of Variations I (2004) Grundlehren der mathematischen WissenSchaften Vol. 310.
Galileo does not attempt any theory to account for the flexure of the beam. This theory, supplied by Hooke's law, was applied by Mariotte, Leibnitz, De Lahire, and Varignon, but they neglect compression of the fibres, and so place the neutral in the lower face of Galileo's beam. The true position of the neutral plane was assigned by James Bernoulli 1695, who in his investigation of the simplest case of bent beam, was led to the consideration of the curve called the "elastica." This "elastica" curve speedily attracted the attention of the great Euler (1744), and must be considered to have directed his attention to the elliptic integrals. Probably the extraordinary divination which led Euler to the formula connecting the sum of two elliptic integrals, thus giving the fundamental theorem of the addition equation of elliptic functions, was due to mechanical considerations concerning the "elastica" curve; a good illustration of the general principle that the pure mathematician will find the best materials for his work in the problems presented to him by natural and physical questions.
A. G. Greenhill, Nature (Feb. 3, 1887) Review of A History of the Theory of Elasticity, Volume 35, pp. 313-314.
Who has studied the works of such men as Euler, Lagrange, Cauchy, Riemann, Sophus Lie, and Weierstrass, can doubt that a great mathematician is a great artist? The faculties possessed by such men, varying greatly in kind and degree with the individual, are analogous with those requisite for constructive art. Not every mathematician possesses in a specially high degree that critical faculty which finds its employment in the perfection of form, hi conformity with the ideal of logical completeness; but every great mathematician possesses the rarer faculty of constructive imagination.
To the reader of today much in the conception and mode of expression of that time appears strange and unusual. Between us and the mathematicians of the late seventeenth century stands Leonhard Euler... He is the real founder of our modern conception. However non-rigorous he may be in details: he ends and conquers the previous epoch of direct geometric infinitesimal considerations and introduces the period of mathematical analysis according to form and content. Whatever was written after him on the logarithmic series is necessarily based no longer on the already obscured predecessors in the receding mathematical Renaissance, but on Euler's Introductio in analysin infinitorum... in which the entire seventh chapter [De Quantitabus exponentialibus ac Logarithmis] treats of logarithms.
Josef Ehrenfried Hofman, "On the Discovery of the Logarithmic Series and Its Development in England up to Cotes" (Oct., 1939) National Mathematics Magazine, Vol. 14, No. 1, pp. 37-38.
Pierre-Simon Laplace, as quoted in Calculus Gems (1992). variant: Read Euler, read Euler. He is the master of us all. As quoted by S. H. Hollingdale, "Leonhard Euler (1707-1783): A Bicentennial Tribute", Bulletin (1983) Volumes 19-20, Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications, & by Edwin Joseph Purcell, Dale E. Varberg, Calculus with Analytic Geometry (1987), Vol. 1.
He was later to write that he had made some of his best discoveries while holding a baby in his arms surrounded by playing children.
In 1736, during his first stay in St. Petersburg, Euler tackled the now famous problem of the seven bridges of Königsberg. His contribution to this problem is often cited as the birth of graph theory and topology.
David S. Richeson (8 March 2012). Euler's Gem: The Polyhedron Formula and the Birth of Topology. Princeton University Press. p. 100. ISBN 1-4008-3856-8.
I discovered the works of Euler and my perception of the nature of mathematics underwent a dramatic transformation. I was de-Bourbakized, stopped believing in sets, and was expelled from the Cantorian paradise. I still believe in abstraction, but now I know that one ends with abstraction, not starts with it. I learned that one has to adapt abstractions to reality and not the other way around. Mathematics stopped being a science of theories but reappeared to me as a science of numbers and shapes.
As analysis was more cultivated, it gained a predominancy over geometry; being found to be a far more powerful instrument for obtaining results; and possessing a beauty and an evidence, which, though different from those of geometry, had great attractions for minds to which they became familiar. The person who did most to give to analysis the generality and symmetry which are now its pride, was also the person who made Mechanics analytical; I mean Euler.

IKIGAI is a book written about a Japanese way of life written by two non-Japanese and that itself made me want to pick up this book. Japan has always fascinated me as it is a country that has been in the top 20 countries with highest suicide rates yet at the same time, they are also the country with the oldest citizenry in the world. Two extremes, same country.
The Japanese, especially those residing on Okinawa, or in other words, the world’s longest living people, determine Ikigai as a way to their longevity and living a more fulfilled life too.
Many a time I have mentioned in my reviews that I am not a fan of these self-help type books. For this one, I am neither a fan nor a hater. It is to a certain extent just a book I read. On one hand, yes, there are life-changing tools so that you too can find your Ikigai. However, when you look at it more closely, it is what most people advise anyway, minimise stress, nurture relationships that mean something to you, follow your passions, find your purpose in life, and so on. I personally feel it has more to do with the culture of a place that helps nurture this as well but I did not write this book.
It is another feel-good book that gives inspiration to those who need it most and it does the job reasonably well consider it is not thick, fonts are a decent size, and most chapters end their last page at half a page so I do hope it inspires non-readers to pick it up. For those who pick up more than one book a year, I would recommend you go for those Japanese books that teach you about decluttering as those do a lot for your lack of space and for your peace of mind too. | 2019-04-18T22:24:19 | https://m360.sim.edu.sg/article/Pages/Ikigai.aspx | [

Waitressing is not just any job. It may have been a last-resort job in the early days but that is gone now. Working as a waitress requires skills, talents and a knack for customer service. Today it is a whole new ballgame. Restaurants today provide opportunities to high school and college students to work part-time to gain experience, for pocket money and for school tuition or as an apprenticeship. They are provided with training, learning new skills and discovering their talents.
To get out of the norm, there are ways to earn more money as a waitress. All it takes is some investment in time and some patience, as this is a personal quest. Read the tips below.
Greet each customer that enters the restaurant with a warm smile and a warm welcome. Lead them promptly to a vacant table.
Introduce yourself politely when the customers have seated and maintain eye contact. Make sure that the table has complete cutlery that the diners will be using. If there are children along, hand out the menus for the children first.
Know your restaurant’s menu and be ready to answer some questions the customers may have regarding some dishes. Know how long each dish takes to be prepared. If the dish that the customers order will take long to prepare, let the customers know that and upsell some side dishes that they can order while waiting for the main course. Some customers are allergic to some of the ingredients. If these are not mentioned in the menu, make sure that you point that out so that the customers know you looking out for their welfare and the restaurant’s as well. Take the time to sample your restaurant’s menu, too, so that you have a fair idea of what each dish tastes like.
Know that wines that go with the main dishes. Some people like to drink wine with their meals and know what to order, while others do not or they may want to try having some for the first time. Learn how to open a bottle of wine and how to pour it. Ask your customers if they would like for you to serve them some water if they will be drinking wine.
Practice the art of memorizing. It will be impressive if you can memorize a table’s orders and not writing them down. You will need to practice this and assign your own codes to all the dishes in your menu to aid you in memorization. You should also repeat all the orders before you leave the table.
Check each dish before you start serving them as it leaves the kitchen. Check that all the dishes are done exactly as you ordered them. The kitchen is a very busy place and some of your notations for special preparations may be overlooked. If something like this happens, let the customer know what happened and assure them that a new one will be prepared and delivered shortly.
Maintain a neat and crisp appearance. Your uniform should be clean, tidy and ironed. Wear shoes that fit and are comfortable. Your clothes should fit you too. Your hair should be neatly trimmed and styled and kept clean in a bun or a pony tail. Keep your fingernails clean because female customers notice these things. If you need to, wear nail polish in neutral colors.
If it is allowed, add something to your uniform that will make you stand out among the rest. Make it something that you can wear every time you are on duty like a favorite character tie, a badge or button will make customers remember and identify you. If you gave them good service the first time, chances are they will ask for you again. | 2019-04-19T02:48:45 | http://www.howtodothings.com/careers/how-to-make-more-money-as-a-waitress | [

Too Small To Fail advisory council member Sandra Gutierrez is the National Director of Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors. She’s on a mission to get information into the hands of the people who are poised to make a significant difference in early childhood education today: Latino parents. Gutierrez spoke with Too Small to Fail about the model Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors has created for honoring and supporting Latino parents to help their children enter school ready to learn and able to succeed in life. Programs in 250 cities across the nation are now using that model to engage parents in low-income communities.
We created Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors because demographics are shifting, the Latino population is booming, and there just wasn’t anything like it. Outcomes for this population were so poor, in terms of the childhood obesity rate, the reading rate, and the rates of utilization – not just of preschool, but other things that benefit families, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
We wanted to support parents in their roles as leaders of the family, and to help them make sure their children did not become one of those dismal statistics. We decided to take evidence of what actually works to stimulate early childhood development and improve outcomes for children. And we used that information to write a curriculum. The parents actually co-created the material. We did a lot of listening before we developed it.
Now we work with national partners such as Catholic Charities, the United Way, and Head Start, along with several school districts, churches and other local groups. Our mission is to support and honor parents in their roles as leaders of the family and children’s first and most influential teachers. We want to help parents realize their own power to close the opportunity gap, because having informed, engaged parents opens doors, not only to success in school, but also to kids having healthier and happier lives.
Often, parents aren’t aware of the power of their daily decisions. Not long ago, the common view was “Kids should be seen and not heard,” or “She’ll start doing that when she gets to school.” Now we know better. We have oceans of research, and we know there are things that parents can do, regardless of income level or educational background. Small, daily acts can have a big impact. We aim to convey that information in a friendly way – a way that makes sense to parents and that will lead to better outcomes.
Latino parents are more alike than they are different from other parents. All parents want what’s best for their children. And there’s a popular saying, “Mas vale prevenir que lamenter,” which means, “It’s better to prevent than lament.” So when armed with data and statistics communicated in an accessible and engaging way, parents are motivated to use that to help their kids reach their aspirations.
What do you do to engage parents?
We hold regular group sessions and we make them fun. We promise parents that if they invest two hours, they will leave the session with new information and resources they can use every day to make sure their children have a good foundation and the best start possible. For example, there’s a popular board game in Latin America called, “Lotería.” And we developed our own version of this Mexican bingo game, to reinforce learning objectives like reading, counting and going to the library. So we’ve created a fun curriculum based on knowledge parents already have.
It’s very rewarding to get the research off the shelves, and into living rooms and kitchens. But one thing we can’t sidestep, or be romantic about, is that parents can’t give what they don’t have. Poverty is very complex and many systems don’t provide these families with the support they need.
Our groups are run every week by partner organizations across the country. For example, here in Los Angeles, we work closely with the L.A. Unified School District, and we’re partnering with Head Start – one of most important systems serving and supporting parents.
Specifically, who are the parents you are aiming to reach?
The families we work with are Spanish-speaking and 100% low income within federal poverty guidelines. They’re the working poor, and have a great work ethic. They want their kids to have a better future, and more opportunity for education than they had.
The parents say, “This is my dream for my child.” And we say, “Let’s make that a goal. Given that home is really the first school, here are things you can do, whether you are very low income or not.” This really resonates and helps parents get a sense of leadership. We demonstrate how a household can promote early literacy practices, and it’s great to work with parents when the children are so young, because that prepares them for just one step in a much larger process of family engagement.
Parents also benefit from meeting with other parents, developing friendships and widening their social networks. People talk very openly and candidly about their family struggles, such as a woman’s effort to get her husband involved. Often, a mom will bring her neighbors. The program succeeds in a way because it spreads by word of mouth.
How is Opening Doors different from other efforts to stimulate child development and promote literacy?
First of all, we consider these parents to be heroes, and we honor their roles as leaders of the family and their children’s first teacher. The things they go through, the decisions they make every day have such profound consequences, and yet they are not considered everyday heroes.
Our approach is not a “top-down” one. We partner with parents. You will see parents across the country exploring myths they were raised to believe, which leads to these transformative moments where they realize, “That was then, and this is now. I can do these things to make a better life for my child.” We are providing them with something that is accessible and actionable.
Each of our sessions begin with a proverb, “Lo que bien empieza, bien acaba,” which means, “What begins well, ends well.” We reflect quite a bit on how we were raised personally, and we stress the notion that we can be the parents we have, or we can be the parents we choose to be. We explore how we were raised – oftentimes in rural locations in Latin American countries – and how that affects our parenting choices.
Many programs focus on early literacy. Ours is unique in that it’s comprehensive. We include social and emotional wellness, which few curriculums incorporate. A lot of reading programs do not get very personal, but we dare to go there, because we consider it foundational. And it’s very powerful. We also help parents learn practical things like how to navigate the health system, and we help familiarize them with places like the local library, and how to take advantage of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
There is so much coming at these parents each day, so we make a huge effort to keep this program friendly, culturally relevant and evidence-based.
What is your basic message to parents around language development in young children?
We demystify language by encouraging parents to talk, sing, count and read more. We’re promoting engagement using practical, fun things that feel natural. And we are backing that with oceans of research that indicate how important it is, and both the consequences of doing that and not doing that. We don’t want to run from that, because we think parents should be informed and build a sense of their own strength and power, so we’re very explicit about this and showing local data about how kids are faring in their own neighborhoods so parents can make different choices. These things are of major consequence.
Another important issue we deal with is that these parents are raising bilingual children. Unfortunately, there is still some confusion around bilingualism, and the benefits of learning both languages at an early age. Often, parents feel at a disadvantage; we help demonstrate to them that they can promote vocabulary development, regardless of language.
Many parents are not aware of critical information about brain development, and are operating under the old-time wisdom of “You just need a lunch pail and a haircut” to show up ready for school. We’re aiming to make sure parents have this valuable information about the science of child development, and to prevent those old mindsets from holding kids back.
What is one of your most effective techniques?
When we communicate about the impact of parent interaction on a child’s brain development, it’s new information, and it’s shocking to many people.
We make it very visual. We do an activity where we stand in a circle and throw a ball of yarn back and forth to represent connections that are being made through a child’s synapses. The way the game works is the more we talk, and read, the more we throw this yarn around, until we have a visual example that represents the sort of network of synapses in the brain that develop for children when you are proactive in stimulating language development.
And then we do the opposite. We demonstrate how relatively bare that network appears when you don’t read, or talk or sing – when you live in a household that operates by that old motto of “Children should be seen and not heard.” We show how the brain doesn’t develop. And those kinds of things really hit home when you’re demystifying the physical effect of their actions on children’s brains. It really is an “Aha!” moment to demonstrate the science to them and break down what they can do every day.
One key thing parents value, that keeps them coming back, is that it’s a very welcoming atmosphere. We intentionally create an environment that is festive, with banners and music playing – and require our local programs to decorate the room, have music and make it a positive ambiance.
Describe the results you’ve seen so far.
We have formal outside evaluators tracking the impact of this program. But on a day-to-day basis, what really warms my heart is how parents will come to one session and then come back to another session and report on how they used the information. I’m really quite moved. It’s distressing how much need there is, but I’m optimistic, because people readily want to use the information when it’s presented in the right way. | 2019-04-25T16:21:46 | http://toosmall.org/news/commentaries/qa-with-sandra-gutierrez | [

Not even a week into this year’s season and already claims have emerged that one of the couple’s are finished, thanks to one very telling post.
Sorry Married At First Sight fans, it looks like love is already dead for at least one of our couples.
Claims have surfaced on Twitter that single mum Ning is already back on the market, with screenshots taken of her profile on dating app Bumble last week shared online.
On Wednesday night’s episode Ning “married” Mark but was scathing in her first impressions — making their possible split hardly unsurprising.
“Spoiler alert: Ning was on bumble last week,” Twitter user Kelvin Tan wrote, sharing photos of the reality TV star which he told news.com.au he screenshotted on January 23.
Ning and Mark’s relationship seems to have got off to a shaky start with the 33-year-old refusing her “husband’s” attempts to keep her warm as they exchanged vows.
She also said she wanted to be able to “block” him because “that’s what I do — I block people in my life. If I’m not keen, I block”.
But Ning later defended her less than warm behaviour towards Mark on Channel 9 MAFS spin-off show Talking Married and said she “cringed so hard”.
“I don’t actually think before I speak, whereas Mark does. It’s word vomit, a bit of verbal diarrhoea,” she said. | 2019-04-21T20:29:38 | https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/reality-tv/married-at-first-sight/ning-was-on-bumble-last-week-big-mafs-spoiler-surfaces-online/news-story/2d82b1bc0d5aa4efbe691509e448e4a0 | [

The world let out a collective gasp of shock last night when the PBOC announced that in January, China had created an absolutely gargantuan CNY3.4 trillion in new total debt (Total Social Financing) – or about $520 billion – more than 50% higher than expected, of which CNY2.1 trillion was in the form of new loans.
January’s credit data was exceedingly strong. Part of the demand for new RMB loans is from demand to borrow RMB and pay down USD debt, though banks may have also started to behave differently amid profit pressures. The temporary suspension of local government bond issuance also directed more borrowing to bank loans and other channels. Strong mortgage loan growth also contributed (household medium to long term loans increased RMB 478.3bn in January, vs RMB 292.4bn in December). The window guidance meeting held by the central bank around mid-January to rein in rapid credit growth apparently did not have much effect on the behavior of commercial banks. (January loan supply tends to be very front-loaded; one would have expected there to be a more significant deceleration of credit supply if the central bank was sending a really tough message, hence market expectations were only RMB 1.9 tn even when they knew it was already RMB1.7 tn in the first half of the month.) The pace of January credit growth is likely above the comfort zone of the central bank. Should the lending continue to be as strong in February, we think it would likely invite more forceful administrative controls.
M2 growth was not quite as strong as credit growth and its sequential growth was just modestly faster than December at a sub-trend level. Fiscal deposit change was more favorable than last January, which was abnormally tight, but still significantly tighter than usual (implying a smaller amount of net spending). FX position changes which affect M2 growth were probably another drag. Judging from FX reserve data, this drag was likely not larger than it was in December though reserve change data is particularly noisy and we cannot be sure about this at the moment.
January broad credit and money data is positive news for domestic demand growth, but the effects on aggregate demand growth are likely to be at least partially cancelled out by very weak exports growth. We still expect sequential activity growth to slow down in Q1 after a meaningful but short rebound in November and December last year. Only after the signs of another round of slowdown become clear would we expect meaningful cyclical loosening measures to be rolled out.
Another hurdle to more policy loosening is the recent abnormally cold weather conditions. These have pushed up food prices to a very high level which means January and February CPI data would likely show a clear upward trend (February CPI is almost surely going to breach 2% and may be close to 3%). We expect this to be a short term phenomenon and CPI is likely to moderate again from March.
But so much for words. Here, courtesy of Simon Rabinovitch, is a chart which puts China’s credit creation just in January in its proper context. If China’s new debt in January were a country, it would be the world’s 27th-biggest economy. | 2019-04-23T16:53:35 | http://republicbroadcasting.org/news/china-created-more-debt-in-january-than-the-gdp-of-norway-austria-or-the-uae/ | [

Sally and Greg Brown, in their late 50s, should be planning for retirement, dreaming of their future.
But no one knows what that future will hold.
A husband. A wife. Married for 33 years. So much love. So much history. But so much fear.
She is worried about him, and his cancer diagnosis. He is worried about her, with a more recent cancer diagnosis of her own.
Greg, 57, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma five years ago. Sally, who works as a nurse at Spectrum Health Zeeland Community Hospital, has been at his side, caring for him, both inside the hospital and at home.
My immediate emotion was how much more can we take? I think I was more devastated by her diagnosis than my own. I was doing better, beating all the odds … then she got diagnosed.
While Greg underwent two stem cell transplants, Sally, who had been a nurse at Spectrum Health since 1993, went back to school to get her bachelor’s degree. She planned for a future. Possibly without her husband.
Two years prior to his multiple myeloma diagnosis, Greg battled prostate cancer.
The Browns were full-up with the “C” word. Done. Enough.
In the spring of 2016, Sally felt a lump in her breast. After battling benign cysts much of her life, she didn’t think much of it.
On June 7, 2016, the “C” word returned. Diagnosis? Stage 3 breast cancer.
There’s disbelief, certainly. Confusion, for sure. Wishing things could be different? Definitely.
Because of family history, Sally had been faithful to regular breast MRIs.
In that 18 months, Stage 3 triple negative cancer took root in her body.
Colleen App, MD, a breast surgeon with the Spectrum Health Cancer Center, delivered the diagnosis.
It numbed her. Stunned her. Chilled her.
Her grandmother and mom both battled breast cancer. She, the heir apparent.
And a husband, facing a terminal diagnosis. But hope remains.
Because Greg’s disease made it impossible for him to continue his work in the forklift industry, Sally has been the family’s sole supporter. Not only financially. “I try to be as much as possible emotional support for him,” she said.
She had to undergo her own cancer battle—six months of chemotherapy, which caused blisters and hives on her helping hands and 37 days of radiation.
In January of this year, she had a left modified radical mastectomy and 21 lymph nodes removed. In November, she’s planning on complete breast reconstruction.
You start to look at what really matters, what really counts. I just look at every day you wake up as a good day.
“The chemo must have worked because there’s no sign of disease at this point,” Sally said.
She returned to work, fittingly, the day before Independence Day. Free, she hopes, from cancer. Forever.
Greg and Sally are living life the best they know how right now, traveling to the east coast to visit their daughters, traveling north to spend time at their cottage on Portage Lake near Manistee, Michigan.
They boat. They fish. They dream of the future.
She and Greg are ready for more pomp. And less circumstance.
Greg agrees. He remembers being diagnosed around the same time their daughter started medical school in Boston.
So make that more icing. Lots of icing.
They’re living within reality, but transcending beyond it. For as long as possible.
Amy Vander Woude, MD, an oncologist at the Spectrum Health Cancer Center, said Sally’s triple negative breast cancer carries a high risk of recurrence.
Dr. Vander Woude said because no residual tumor was detected after chemotherapy, Sally has a decreased risk of developing recurrent disease in the future.
Such a warrior! Such a inspiration! Much love!
rock on, Browns! Positive vibes and tremendous best wishes for both of you incredible survivors!
Keep strong and keep praying. Your story is heartbreaking yet gives hope for tomorrow. May God bless you both with a lasting cure. Thank you for sharing your story.
My husband and I are also both battling cancer, after 40 years of marriage. We know the courage it takes. May Greg and Sally continue to find peace and enjoy every day they have together.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, Linda. We also wish you and your husband the very best of each day.
Stay strong! My husband and I share a similar story….I am 5 years out and a survivor. He responded well to his multiple myeloma stem cell transplant 2 years ago! We enjoy the gift of every day!
Congratulations to you and your husband, Joan! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and encouragement!
Greg and Sally, you are both so strong in your love for one another and keeping close one day at a time. Keep your head held high and cherish all the special moments you are given. I am a 20 year breast cancer survivor and am thankful for every moment my husband and I share together. God bless you both! | 2019-04-26T14:22:52 | https://healthbeat.spectrumhealth.org/husband-wife-cancer-myeloma-triple-negative-breast/ | [

Man, The Fat Hunter by Miki Ben-Dor | Eat Meat. Drink Water.
This is an interesting study which argues that our need for dietary fat is what drove our evolutionary development towards becoming the humans we are today.
It is our contention that two distinct elements combined in the Levant to propel the evolutionary process of replacing H. erectus by a new hominin lineage…One was the disappearance of the elephant (Elephas antiquus) – an ideal food-package in terms of fat and protein content throughout the year – which was until then a main calorie contributor to the diet of the H. erectus in the Levant.
The second was the continuous necessity of H. erectus to consume animal fat as part of their diet, especially when taking into account their large brains. The need to consume animal fat is the result of the physiological ceiling on the consumption of protein and plant foods. The obligatory nature of animal fat consumption turned the alleged large prey preference of H. erectus into a large prey dependence.
Daily energy expenditure (DEE) of the hominins would have increased when very large animals such as the elephant had diminished and a larger number of smaller, faster animals had to be captured to provide the same amount of calories and required fat. This fitness pressure would have been considerably more acute during the dry seasons that prevail in the Levant.
Such an eventuality, we suggest, led to the evolution of a better equipped species, in comparison with H. erectus, that also had a lighter body, a greater lower limb to weight ratio, and improved levels of knowledge, skill, and coordination allowing it to better handle the hunting of an increased number of smaller animals and most probably also develop a new supporting social organization.

What would you buy and build.
For practical use in my home, I think I'd get a pair of JBL K2 S9800s and a pair of Mark Levinsons to bi-amp them. I might add a subwoofer if I felt a need for gut-wrenching low end, (which I probably would).
Yeah, I'd just keep it simple and go "plug & play".
Well I think I would give large format compression drivers a whirl. I really like the Classic Reproductions Hartsfield and Edgars Tractric Salad Bowls on his Titans. Not sure which horn I would use just try them all. No budjet I like this! For woofers I would use either 2245 or 2235 then E-145 for the low end. Midrange figure the 2441 and an 076 on top of that. Now this is fun!
If I had to stick to buying raw componants, ... then I think I'd build a pair of 4355s, but configure them as vertical cabinets. I agree that the 2" compression drivers have always had me curious too. Of course I would bi-amp, or maybe tri-amp them with quality amps, ie Mark Levinson, etc.
With four 2235Hs and those other drivers, I think I'd have "Super 4343s"...and I don't think it gets any better then that!
...and the big Stage Accompany horn-loaded ribbon line driver for a tweeter.
I am still sorting out my crossover situation and should know in a week or so if I have a "spare" Crown MX-4. I'll let you know.
I will go for a pair of Westrex T550 speaker mounted with 2 JBL E145 and 475nd driver with a 15 multicell horn and 2 JBL 2403 tweeters biamp with studioreference crown amplifiers . That's a dream that need a big room.
For the rear, I will also have a pair of Everest.
TAD drivers from top to bottom, with custom built horn loaded cabinets!
Good point did you see the new speaker they released as the CES looks like a beauty!
what is that Don ?
They are TAD's new $40,000/pr M1 home speakers.
If money was unlimited, rather than buy the best of the best, I would hire performers to come to my home and have my own personal concert.
I would first ask Paul McCartney to perform "And I Love Her" for my wife. That would probably get me five or six "get out of jail free" passes for the next time I do "sumptin' stooopid"
Next, Becker and Fagen with McDonald tickling the ivory.
I hear you JBL Dog!
I'd call up Matthewman and see if he, Sade, and the rest of the guys could drop by. The Crusaders with Larry "Cooltones" Carlton and Randy Crawford joining wouldn't be bad either.

It's surprisingly easy to create and print replacement parts. In this hands on, David Gewirtz shows how he created a remote control cover replacement. The big picture: 3D printing enables virtual spare parts inventories.
3D printing a replacement part It's surprisingly easy to create and print replacement parts. In this hands on, David Gewirtz shows how he created a fan cover replacement. The big picture: 3D printing enables virtual spare parts inventories.
3D printing is often touted as a great tool for designers to test and refine their designs prior to manufacturing. But you can do a lot more with 3D printing, even with inexpensive home printers. For example, you can use a 3D printer to create and produce a replacement part for something you use every day. In my case, I made a replacement back cover for a remote control.
I have a desk fan I use all the time, the Vornado Flippi V Compact Air Circulator. It lives a few feet away from me, under my desk. It's small, powerful, and quiet. What makes it particularly useful is a remote control I can use to adjust the speed and oscillation, without ever moving away from my keyboard. This is great because I can turn it on and off when on the phone, or just tap the remote control when I'm too busy or lazy to move the five feet from my chair to the fan.
The problem is that I drop the remote all the time, and the back cover for the battery compartment tends to fly off and get lost. It really interrupts workflow to have to crawl around under my desk to look for the tiny part.
Now, don't get mired in the details of this particular project. Instead, keep in mind the idea of making any replacement part. Obviously, whatever you need to make will be different from what I worked on. The key point is that a 3D printer can be a great resource for useful projects like crafting replacement parts for objects you use. Lots of people lose a part or two from a beloved object.
After dropping the remote for probably the 20th time, and not being able to locate the cover to the battery compartment after a long search, I decided enough was enough.
Has anyone seen my missing cover?
It's probably still somewhere down there, under my desk, unless the elves have taken it. I decided to make a new one.
I'm fortunate, because I have a number of 3D printers in the shop to choose from. If I weren't writing about 3D printing, I'd probably only have one. For this project, I chose to use the most inexpensive of them, the $399 New Matter MOD-t. The MOD-t isn't as fast as the LulzBot or the MakerBot, nor does it create objects of super high quality, but it's a fine little printer.
I was curious about whether I could use it for this purpose. The cover is quite small, making it possible to do a lot of print attempts. Each print only took about 20 minutes. Because I spent just a few minutes each time refining the design, the print time for each "draft" didn't bother me at all.
The key to the design was exploring and understanding the geometry of the cover. That may sound difficult, but all it really takes is observation, measuring, a little creativity, and the willingness to test.
The basic shape is that of a rectangle with a half-circle at the end. So I created a rectangle and circle in 123D Design and placed the circle over the rectangle. I then shrunk the thickness to 1.5 millimeters.
To get the width and length of the cover space, I used a pair of $29.95 digital calipers I picked up from Harbor Freight. Calipers are key, because they allow you to measure the distances for elements you need to make. You can usually get measurements down to a tenth of a millimeter, which is pretty precise. Of course, my measurements were always off by a bit, so once I designed the object based on my measurements, I had to print it, and then tweak the print to get things to fit.
First, I printed the basic shape, the rectangle and circle.
You can see how this is made up of two simple shapes: a rectangle and a circle.
Then I added a tab, so that it would fit in the slot in the remote. This took a few tries, because I had to get the right size, but also get the raised part to fit just so. It also wasn't hard. It just took the patience to tinker with it.
Next, I added the back hook. If you look at the image below, you can see the slot on the remote control body, and the hook I created. That, too, took a few iterations until I got it to fit right.
This is made with just two small rectangles at right angles.
Next, I added the back tail of the cover, again with some level of iteration.
This becomes the outside of the cover.
Finally, it all fit and closed over the remote. The only problem was, it didn't work. This was when I was reasonably convinced this whole project was a very bad idea. But it's also here that persistence was important.
I spent some time examining the remote. I tested the battery with the remote and no cover, and found that by holding the battery just so, it would fire the remote. This meant that the cover replacement I was making would not require any wiring to complete a circuit. It also told me that the changes I needed to make were really about how to hold the battery in the right place.
I added a flat circle spacer to push the battery down, and I also added another backing bar which pushed the battery forward into its contacts. This, as it turns out, was the winning design.
Here's the final design view.
Unfortunately, it wasn't completely reliable. It did work, but not regularly. All that took was a few more iterations, eventually moving the back bar back just a tiny bit so the pressure was just right. Then it worked.
Here's the final piece. As you can see, it's not much larger than a penny.
Here's the final part. It's not much bigger than a penny.
I learned quite a few lessons in building this part, some of which may be valuable to you. First, let me reinforce that before I started learning about 3D printing about a year ago, I did not do mechanical constructions of any type. Yes, I have an engineering degree, but it's in computer science. I can design a circuit board. I can design a computer language and an operating system.
But fixing a bathroom sink? That's beyond my skill set. Creating a tiny replacement part for a fan? Before this year, you might as well have asked me to build a rocket in my backyard to travel to Mars. Not in my wheelhouse.
Now, however, I've learned that the process of creating objects like this is really a matter of observation, measurement, and patience, as I mentioned above. Once I mastered the basic skills of 123D Design (which, quite honestly, isn't much harder than PowerPoint or any other drawing program), I was on my way. If you can draw a rectangle, you can do basic 3D design.
I also learned that an inexpensive 3D printer can get the job done. It's not quite as clean an object as might be produced with a much more expensive printer, but it's good enough to do the job. I cleaned off some of the plastic detritus with a file and a pair of clippers. It works, which is all I really needed.
Finally, I learned that it's easy to do this over about two weeks time. In actual elapsed time, this project probably took me about four hands-on hours (not counting waiting for the printer). If I had to spend a weekend doing nothing by designing, printing, trying, tweaking, and doing it all over again, I would have gone completely around the bend. But because I put in just a few minutes when I felt like it, the project proceeded easily. It really was quite fun to do.
In addition to actually having my remote working again, there's a very interesting benefit to 3D printing a replacement part. I now have a virtual inventory. The 3D design model is now on my file server. If I lose the cover again (and I most certainly will), I can just load the file on my printer and reprint.
As we move forward into more 3D printing use, I predict we're going to find that virtual inventories become one of the bigger benefits of 3D printing across the board.
You can download this replacement fan remote cover from Thingiverse.

Most job advertisements will include some requirements you need to respond to. These are often called ‘selection criteria’, ‘prerequisites’ or ‘general requirements’.
These requirements are the qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities or experience you will need to get the job.
For example, you may be asked if you have attained a particular qualification or if you have a licence for a certain kind of vehicle. You could be asked to explain how you have met deadlines and prioritised tasks. You might be asked how you have dealt with difficult people or how you have shown leadership.
In many job listings, the selection criteria are provided as a separate document and are broken down into 'essential' and 'desirable' qualities. You must have the essential qualities to be considered for the job. If you also have the desirable qualities, you have an even better chance of getting the job. Remember that the desirable qualities are not critical to getting the job. Even if you think you don’t have some of the desirable qualities, you should still go ahead and apply for the job. | 2019-04-18T22:37:31 | https://www.jobaccess.gov.au/people-with-disability/responding-job-requirements | [

Hair and makeup for wedding!
Jamie was awesome! We only had an hour and a half to get my makeup and hair done and it turned out awesome! I would definitely use her services again!!
She did an amazing job with my hair! She responded quickly and was very helpful. She thought through everything even making sure that the side of my hair that was the side that the guest would see for the ceremony was the side with the braid in it. She did exactly what I wanted with my hair. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Jamie is absolutely incredible! Next to being the sweetest woman ever, she always puts your needs first. She takes your suggestions and also provides her amazing recommendations. I see Jamie every month or so for microdermabrasion and facials, but she just recently did my hair and makeup, and my maid of honor, for my wedding. I normally don't wear makeup, and Jamie made me look like a princess!! She went with neutral tones and recommended a lipstick color I would have never chosen for myself. I wear it all the time now! Jamie went with simple updo on the nape of my neck - another suggestion. I needed something low as I surprised my husband with Mr & Mrs fedoras. Jamie's hairstyle was perfect! I highly recommend Jamie for your skincare needs and any special events you have.
Jamie was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! A total professional, high quality service, and extremely reasonable pricing. I did a hair/makeup trial to make sure everything would be just perfect on the big day, and it was definitely worth it.
Jamie is awesome. She is very enthusiastic about making your wedding day what YOU (in my case I was the bride) wants. She also delivers with every appointment. I needed to have my hair done the same way on two separate days, not only did she find time in her busy schedule to fit me in, the look was very consistent (as I had requested it to be) for both days!
Jamie is amazing. My wedding was back in June and I was unfamiliar with the area (got married in Ann Arbor but I'm from East Lansing). I told her the hotel where we'd be getting ready and she had already done a wedding there before. She was able to suggest a room at the hotel where we could get our hair/makeup done instead of just trying to crowd into our rooms. On top of that, she's an excellent artist. I don't wear makeup normally and I usually keep my hair up. She helped me narrow down the look I was after and it worked beautifully. If you have a large party like I did she brings some of her other girls with her who are just as talented. I could not recommend her highly enough. 5/5 stars.
Dear Jamie - I just wanted to send a message and thank you for my hair cut - I noticed my natural waive return to my hair and I love it! But it was so much more! I really enjoyed talking, chatting and hanging out as well. You really are an expert in your field and it is wonderful to obtain knowledge, have my questions answered, and learn from you. Your space is also very inviting and intimate and I like that, I am very comfortable and perhaps share more than I typically do. This is just a note to share my appreciation and thank you, it was a great beginning to my weekend! Thank you Jamie!
The Jamie Jean Beauty team was so great to work with! They did hair and makeup for all 8 of us in such a short amount of time. It was awesome to see them work their magic. I have never felt more beautiful then I did on my wedding day. The pictures turned out better then I even imagined. They use their own makeup line that was perfect for my skin. It never felt heavy or cakey which I hate. So I was super happy about that. And Jamie was such a doll and a pleasure to work with from the trial to the wedding and everything in between. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great hair and makeup!
The Jamie Jean team was phenomenal!! Our pictures turned out beautiful!
Jamie and her team worked their beauty magic on my wedding day. I've never felt as beautiful as I did that day. And I owe that to Jamie and her team. They came roght to the house so flwe didnt have to rush around. My bridal party, mother and mother on law looked beautiful and flawless.Jamie Jean Beauty is AMAZING.
Jamie and her team were phenomenal! They did the hair & makeup for my entire bridal party. Looking back on the photos, we all look flawless and perfect. They were extremely professional and talented. I recommend Jamie Jean Beauty to everyone and anyone- whether they are booking for a wedding or simply a hair cut.
The Jamie Jean Beauty team was amazing at what they do! Such a reliable, professional and talented team. Everyone looked so beautiful and the hair and makeup lasted all night for all 9 of my bridesmaids. I couldn’t of asked for anything better. They met my expectations and beyond. I recommend all my friends and family to Jamie Jean Beauty. My sister has already even booked them for her wedding next year. Can’t wait to work with them again!
Beyond a perfect, professional experience with Jamie Jean Beauty!!
Every aspect of my hair, make-up, skin care, hair and make up products are superb. I will never use anyone other than Jamie Jean Beauty.
Don't hesitate, call now and book your appointment with JJB.
Jamie was everything I had ever hoped I would find in a makeup and hair stylist! She was genuine, fun but still professional and extremely gifted in her craft. She had a answer for every one of my concerns and of course everything went exactly like she said it would. She is wise beyond her years that's for sure. Every service I have gotten done so far from her has been perfect, my hair and makeup has always lasted all day and even into the next day. My bridal party was so pleased with her and we are picky group of ladies. She knocked my wedding day out of the park! Just from my first time getting my makeup done with her she had already taught me so much about makeup and hair than anyone else has taken the time to do so. It definitely doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. Not to mention her makeup line is best products I've ever used. I almost have the whole collection! I couldn't be more grateful a friend recommended her. I even switched hairstylist that I've been with for years because I loved her that much. I look forward to every appointment.
Jamie and her assistant were great! Both so helpful and knowledgeable with how weddings work. She was on time, perfectionist just like me and super sweet. She made everyone look SO beautiful. I couldn't have been more pleased with how my wedding went. I love the makeup she used on me. I purchased some at my trial with her and I ended up buying even more on my wedding day because I loved it so much. I would recommend her to everyone! She really knows her stuff.
Absolutely amazing go to her on a regular now!
Jamie did my wedding hair and make up. Since it was a tropical theme, I wanted a look that was natural, and simple yet classy. She pays great attention to detail, and I never felt more beautiful than I did that day! Highly recommend Jamie Jean Beauty; you won't be disappointed. | 2019-04-20T17:12:19 | https://www.weddingwire.com/reviews/jamie-jean-beauty-ann-arbor/231349ed9d66ff07.html | [

SuperSmart has launched the next survey for the development of criteria for a future EU Ecolabel for Food Retail Stores. This is your chance to actively participate in defining the criteria regarding Building Energy Use, Lighting, Renewable Energies, Construction Products, Location & Accessibility in European food retail stores.
The questionnaire is the third opportunity for stakeholders to give input to the process. It seeks your views on draft criteria and compliance verification for buildings of food retail stores. It is foreseen to define mandatory requirements as well as point score requirements. A certain, yet to be defined minimum point score must be achieved to obtain the EU Ecolabel.
By taking the online survey, you can give your opinion on the first draft criteria. The survey is expected to take about 10 to 15 minutes and results will remain anonymous.
The background: The European project SuperSmart aims to support the introduction of the EU Ecolabel for food retail stores. The EU Ecolabel can encourage supermarket stakeholders to implement environmentally friendly and efficient technologies and thus reduce the environmental impact of food retail stores. | 2019-04-21T01:11:03 | http://www.supersmart-supermarket.info/news/2017/5/2/supersmart-launches-3rd-survey-for-eu-ecolabel-on-food-retail-stores | [

The F22 family also included another unique engine, which was named F22C1. We have devoted a separate article to it, since it is quite different from F22B or F22A. This naturally aspirated straight-4 engine was created in 2003 specifically for Honda S2000 for the North American market. This engine was developed based on the 2.0-liter F20C.
Let’s compare the F22C and F20C, and find out the main differences.
Honda engineers installed a new 90.7 mm stroke crankshaft, 149.65 mm long rods and 29 mm high pistons into the F22C cylinder block. These pistons are slightly different from the F20C pistons and the compression ratio was reduced to 11.1. 224 mm high F22C block deck.
All these modifications allowed to increase displacement to 2.2 liters.
On top of the block, they installed a 16-valve DOHC head with the VTEC system. The F22C head is the same as the F20C head, but in F22C, new camshafts were used. Here are the F22C cam specs: duration 296/296 deg, lift 12.37/12.06 mm.
The F22C1 engine needs periodic valve adjustment after every 105,000 miles. Adjustment is recommended only if the valves are noisy. Valve clearances are as follows (cold): intake valves 0.21-0.25 mm, exhaust valves 0.25-0.29 mm.
Another F22C difference from the F20C is the use of a heavier flywheel that weighs 9.5 kg. These are the main differences between F22C and F20C, the remaining specs of the engines are the same.
Data upgrades were made to increase the torque at low and medium rpm by reducing the max rpm to 8,200 rpm. This made the car a bit more comfortable for everyday use.
In the end of 2005, JDM Honda S2000 with an F22C1 engine became available; after 3 years, Honda S2000 was discontinued, and F22C was also discontinued.
This F22C engine was developed based on the 2.0-liter F20C, and they have similar problems. All that is written HERE, and is suitable for your F22C1, except for one thing. The Honda S2000 2.2 engines have no problems with cracked valve retainers, they have solved this problem.
Tuning of the F22C Engine is the same as for F20C, but you already have the stroker kit installed. The first step will be buying an AEM cold air intake system, a 4-2-1 header, and a 3 inch exhaust system. Then you have to configure the ECU and raise the max rev to 8,500 rpm. This can give you about 260 HP.
To increase the redline to 9,000 rpm and get good reliability, you will have to buy aftermarket rods and pistons.
You can get even more power by installing an AEM intake system, a TODA 70 mm throttle body, a 3-row performance aluminum radiator, an oil catch can, NGK 9 iridium spark plugs, a TODA lightweight flywheel, a TODA B2 cams, adjustable cam gears, TODA valve springs, a 4-2-1 header, and a 3 inch exhaust system.
Building an N/A Honda S2000 300 WHP at the wheels is possible with these performance parts: 50mm ITB, high compression pistons (CR about 14), aftermarket rods, a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump, AEM fuel rail, 550 cc fuel injectors, an AEM fuel regulator, and an AEM EMS ECU. but this is not enough, you will need cylinder head porting, and you should buy bronze valve guides, Supertech valves (37 mm intake/31 mm exhaust), TODA valve springs and JUN valve retainers, Inline pro cams, a 4-1 header and a 3″ performance exhaust system.
An engine with this mod is to be configured with the use of sports fuel. It will give you over 300 HP, but this is not the limit. You can get even more power if you use custom cams and a 2.7-liter stroker kit.
Building a turbo project based on F22C1 is a good idea, stock internals hold the boost well. You can buy a turbokit based on a small turbocharger and easily get 300 WHP. It will be fast and comfortable for daily driving. To get 400 WHP, you will need a turbo kit based on the GT3076R with an intercooler, NGK 8 Iridium spark plugs, 750 cc fuel injectors, a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump, a 3″ aftermarket exhaust system, and an AEM EMS ECU. This turbocharger will easily give you 400+ WHP at 15 psi (1 bar) of boost pressure with the use of E85 fuel. This is not the limit, you can get 500 WHP or more, but it will require a lot of mods for your cylinder head. | 2019-04-19T07:16:47 | http://mywikimotors.com/honda-f22c/ | [

A few years ago i volunteered for OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association), and had the opportunity to make some photographs at the Hershberger Family Farm Field Day event. The event is organized by the Family Farm Field Day Committee and the Small Farm Institute, a nonprofit committed to the development, promotion and support of Ohio's small family farm agricultural and forestry ventures within the Appalachian region of southern Ohio. The event is largely focused on sustainable farming practices, and low impact farming. It attracts between 4,000 and 5,000 people annually, and moves locations every two years to keep fresh people and energy involved in it. You do not have to be a farmer to attend, and the event is free and open to the public.
There are many different activities to attend during these events. Including seminars on cheese making, homemaking, bread baking, timber management, composting as well as many other topics. There were also free demonstrations and lectures on alternative energy, beekeeping, natural resources, grazing, the farmstead, and the homestead. There were even nature hikes and birding walks for the children.
This event is focused on preserving the heritage of Ohio's small family farms through lower energy agricultural activities that promote family lifestyles revolving around the farmstead and homestead. It was a particularly interesting experience for me, because the event consisted of primarily Amish and Mennonite families from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Some families however, traveled all the way from the west coast, and there was even one Mennonite family from Mexico. i grew up in rural, central Ohio, and there were many Amish communities located just a short drive from us, but i never really got to know anyone from the communities or that much about them.
However, when i was young, my grandpa would take me to the livestock auctions that were always heavily attended by the Amish farmers. i remember watching the Amish children standing in a circle, playing different games with each other to pass the time. They were always smiling and laughing and they seemed to have a much better time with each other than the groups of kids at my Elementary School. i'm sure it was a case of the "grass is always greener" perception, but i found their lifestyle intriguing and mysterious and i always wanted to know more about them.
So as an adult, i was excited to attend this event, and have the opportunity to discuss the lifestyle and food production with many of the farmers. Because of their lifestyle, it surprised me to learn that the majority of Amish farms are non-organic. i suppose i just assumed with their stewardship to the land that they didn't use chemicals in their agricultural practices. One of the reasons for this, is people like me, assume that because it is Amish grown, even if it isn't certified, it must be "all naturally" grown. So going through the expense of converting their farm to organic, even though they would quickly recoup the cost with the organic certified premiums, they still don't feel like it makes sense from a marketing standpoint.
Many farms in the Amish communities however, are becoming certified organic and there does seem to be a growing concern about sustainable practices. Several of the farmers at the event are part of the Organic Valley cooperative that is based in La Farge, Wisconsin. Organic Valley is made up of 1,834 farmer-owners who are spread out over 32 states and three Canadian provinces that practice sustainable, organic agriculture. These events are a great place to promote these sustainable practices, and to educate other farmers about the benefits of it. The Hershberger Farm, where it was held, is a certified grass-fed dairy farm, which was convenient for those who are curious to see to see how it all works, and hopefully reduce some of the fears and concerns associated with converting.
One thing i noticed at this particular event was the level of organization. Even with thousands of people showing up at a medium sized family farm in horse-drawn buggies, cars, trucks, bicycles, walking, and on tractors, there didn't seem to be any chaos. The patience that was displayed was quite impressive. The food lines were a sight to see as well. Everyone lined up in perfect lines as if it were a military operation, and waited calmly for their turn. Considering the volume of people that moved through possibly six lines where the food was being served, it all happened very quickly. It was strange to observe considering the impatient scene at most state fairs or amusement parks these days.
It was a wonderful experience to visit the farm and to become more familiar with the Amish and Mennonite lifestyles. Events such as these seem extremely useful in educating people who aren't necessarily exposed to the same media about the food situation in the world. Farming is obviously a large part of many of their lives, and being educated about the dangers of non-sustainable practices is the first step. | 2019-04-19T18:16:01 | https://www.henryfoto.com/blog/2014/5/28/sustainable-farming-education-hershberger-family-farm-field-day | [

It is interesting how strong a label, or being designated a certain way, can affect a child’s future. Whether it be at a young age or later in life, it can cause a child to enact the self-fulfilling prophecy and do the actions expected with their new “role/label.” Such as labeling a very young child who is hyperactive as “naughty”, while they are acting such as what they are, a child. Once they are prescribed this label it can create a new pathway where they are expected to act this way, or when they do not it would be considered strange by those supervising. It is human nature to try to maintain our role, but at times some individuals have the perseverance to deviate from how they are viewed.
The following article is an example of one of these individuals (who himself even questioned doubting authority), where he was thought to be a “slow learner” and rather had a disorder that caused a believed disadvantage compared to his classmates. When given the time to fully complete his test and assignments the child was able to go from averaging C’s in classes to almost all A’s. One struggle with our current system is that it is like the toddler’s toy of fitting shapes into holes, but there is only one hole and belief that all children are just one shape. Children come in a wide array of “shapes” that need new holes to be created for success to be a reality. We need to possibly reshape the way our education system works, but more importantly, figure out ways that students with deficiencies/delays are correctly identified.
One of the goals of Achieve Brown County, in the present, is to work with local healthcare providers to make sure that children aged 0 to 5 are receiving check ups for detecting physical, socio-emotional and cognitive deficiencies. This is important because initial data indicated the possibility that over 50% of children ages 0-3 who are identified as having potential developmental delays do not receive services. Having a service system set in place will allow for the detection of different deficiencies and prevent them from being labeling thus leading to a negative pathway for their educational life. | 2019-04-26T02:25:26 | https://www.achievebrowncounty.org/the-need-for-checkups-and-effects-of-labels/ | [

Gay Men To That!!: Why Do Right Wingers Hate Obama? Bill Maher Asks.
Why Do Right Wingers Hate Obama? Bill Maher Asks.
He's got a point. President Obama has governed like a moderate Republican and yet the far right can't hate him enough. Gee, I wonder why?
[Obama] didn't go on a spending spree. He didn't break up the too-big-to-fail banks. They've only gotten bigger. And fail-ier. That's not what liberals wanted. That's what conservatives wanted.
At the 2008 convention, Sarah Palin chanted "drill baby drill!" Under Obama, there's more drilling than ever. That's not what environmentalists wanted. That's what conservatives wanted.
Obama spent most of last year conceding the Republican premise that government needed cutting. That's not what progressives wanted. That's what the Tea Party wanted.
The Dow was at 7949 when he took office. Now it's 12000 and over, and corporate profits are at their highest ever. If he's a socialist, he's a lousy one. He could not be less threatening if he was walking home with ice tea and Skittles.
So the question remains. How could you guys be so unhappy with Obama while I'm so unhappy with Obama? You think you got coal in your stocking? I wanted single payer health care, a carbon emissions bill, gun control and legalized pot. If you get to carry around all this outrage over me getting that sh*t, shouldn't I have gotten it?
So just admit it. This isn't about what Obama is. it's about what you need him to be. Because hating him is what gets you up in the morning. | 2019-04-21T10:54:06 | http://www.gaymentothat.com/2012/05/why-do-right-wingers-hate-obama-bill.html | [

I was a late 90s Cigarette Girl.
I am ashamed to admit to one of the worst jobs I ever held. I wasn’t a stripper, a garbo or a telemarketer. From 1998 to 2000, I was a professional cigarette girl.
A little over a decade ago, large cigarette companies employed young, good looking promotional staff, both men and women, to go to venues where other young people hung out, to promote cigarette brands to them.
The teams would go out in groups of six or eight, overseen by the cigarette company’s promotions manager who would assign us into pairs. Paid about twenty bucks an hour each, we would be taken by cars to all the cool inner-city venues, spending about half an hour in each. Every girl had a tray of cigarettes and a cute uniform, and we would go around offering the cigarette ‘product’ for the purposes of ‘brand recognition’.
Please remember that this was the late 90s and people could still smoke in clubs, even right at the bar. Diners could still light up in a restaurants and there were some flights that offered ‘smoking lounges’ in the air. I should mention at this point that I am a non-smoker, but I am tolerant of those who smoke; when I was growing up in the 80s it was a lot more common.
Today people might ask the question, why did the cigarette companies promote their brands in this way? Simply put, because they could. Plain packaging was still more than a decade off; packets were heavily branded, but because companies in the late 90s were still banned from print, TV and radio advertising, cigarette big wigs were trying to work out ways to get people to smoke their brand of cigarettes over the other brands.
These companies were faced with a conundrum, how could they promote something that they couldn’t advertise on TV or in magazines? The solution was clear; they had to promote their products at the ground level; by sponsoring popular events (such as the Formula One) and with live promotions at popular clubs and pubs.
That’s where the cigarette girls came in.
I first got into promotions at age 18. Fresh out of high school, I spotted a bunch of young women giving out copies of a men’s magazine on an inner-city street corner wearing branded T shirts. Wanting a free magazine, I asked for one and their manager suggested that I might be suitable to work in promotions myself. She told me that ideally you should be under 25, good looking, confident and able to commit to regular casual hours. It did not sound like hard work.
Many clients use promotions agencies, but by far majority of jobs came from alcohol and cigarette companies. It was good money for a young woman; sales assistant or cafe wages were comparatively lower and the weekend hours of promotions work allowed me to keep two jobs and start my university degree.
The downside of the work was the fact that I was being leered at and getting unwanted attention from drunk and disorderly people. As you can imagine, the outfits they put us in were skimpy, at best. The various cigarette brands called for different outfits (many Australians may not realise that the market here is dominated by two major players- Phillip Morris and British American Tobacco- which between them, house almost all the commonly known cigarette brands). One brand’s outfit was a gold miniskirt, a blonde wig and a gold crop top (which showed the wearer’s midriff) with a hole cut away to display cleavage. Another brand dressed us in black wigs, tight black miniskirts and red lipstick.
Alyce Vayle and a former co-worker.
The work was easy, and previous to doing it, I had never been immersed in the club scene. The job made me feel cool and impressive, and very grown-up. As promotions staff, we were granted free entry into every nightclub and had access to VIP rooms and backstage areas. Some cigarette brands even employed dancing promotions girls, who would put on a ten minute dance routine while we worked the crowd with our trays of ‘cancer sticks’.
By early 2000 I was still doing promotions work, as I finished my degree. But the mood had changed. The culture around cigarettes was shifting quickly. New laws were being created and from 1999 the Australian government began the National Tobacco Strategy, releasing a report recommending further smoking bans in May 2001. Feelings about being exposed to others’ passive cigarette smoke were growing fast.
I had relocated to Queensland by then and I was now working for a different promotions company, for a ‘lower-price-point’ brand. This time, we went out during the day, taking our trays of ciggies to the pubs of the Gold Coast and Brisbane, watching as the bored kids ran circles around their pokie-playing parents at 2pm in the afternoon.
I’ll never forget the first time we were called ‘the cancer brigade’.
We were walking down the street and a man yelled out the words to our group of five (two pairs of girls and a manager) and started to approach us. Our manager thankfully dealt with the situation but after that, we were told to cover our trays with our jackets when we walked down the street. We were also told to cover the logos on our T shirts.
For the first time, I started to question what I was doing. Up until that point I hadn’t really thought about it too much. But I should have. Every cigarette boy or girl who worked with the two big brands had to do awareness training. This usually involved a day or two of workshops and seminars. We had these ideas heavily enforced throughout our training. The companies stressed that we were not promoting cigarettes to young people, we were not encouraging people to smoke, we were not prompting the habit, just the brand.
Cigarettes are legal in Australia, we all know that, so if a product is legal, why shouldn’t it be marketed? It’s fair to say that the world feels differently about cigarettes now. In a landmark move, smoking was recently banned in US prisons, with some in NSW following suit. In October 2012, Australia’s High Court ruled on a 6:1 decision backing plain packaging legislation against constitutional challenge by tobacco companies.
The government now claims that it has put effort into state-level attempts to control these activities, saying that most states have banned mobile cigarette girls and boys but there have been recent examples of sneaky cigarette promotions, including sponsored ‘smoking lounges’ at the Big Day Out and reports of free packets of cigarettes given out to guests at a fashion industry charity party at the Sydney Opera House, as late as 2007.
There are other claims that promotional staff working for cigarette companies at events like these encouraged participants to sign up to an email database. The government believed that this was to facilitate publicity about future events, where these potential customers could be further promoted to. Does a big ciggie company have your mobile number? Are you sure? How long will the legacy of cigarette promotions last, another generation? Two?
The landscape has changed in Australia and cigarette companies are no longer able to promote with the same methods but with the ever-increasingly narrow ways they have to market one brand from another, rest assured that while there is still money to be made from cigarettes, the big companies will find ways to promote themselves to new and old markets.
It’s still a legal business, after all.
Alyce Vayle has many publishing credits, including a recent article Are You Too Ashamed to Lose Weight in the Sydney Morning Herald, an opinion piece Death of the Shock Jock for Crikey.com. She regularly contributes toFamilies.com and All Girls Talk, and has had work published in Link Magazine, Made You Look Magazine, The Australian Women’s Forum, Company Director Magazine and the City News Publication.

In an era where technological sophistication is taken for granted, people expect communication and crisis resolution to be almost instantaneous. Emergency or crisis management can be challenging enough with a PC at hand, but when on the move, it’s nearly impossible unless one has access to a smartphone with the app for a cloud based crisis management system. Today’s business landscape by its very nature demands mobile crisis management software. | 2019-04-19T22:54:08 | http://a3b.5929.info/?tag=business-landscape | [

Spring selling season is “smelling like roses” for both buyers and sellers as the DC Metro housing market posts strong numbers again. It’s been a busy time with prices, contract activity, and inventory showing positive increases, according to an analysis of data from May by RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI).
· Prices at highest May level since 2005 – a full decade!
Closed sales experienced the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year increases.
The total of 4,835 closed sales exceeds the 5-year and 10-year average. All market segments – single-family detached homes, townhomes, condos – showed growth in year-over-year sales, with townhomes rising the most at 15.3% and condos at only a one unit increase compared to May 2014. Looking at the jump from last month, single-family detached homes experienced a 19.2% increase in the number of sales from April to May.
New contracts reached their highest May level in over a decade.
New contracts have risen in May for the last 7 years – with the total at 6,158 in May 2015. Townhomes showed the largest year-over-year increase at 10.2%, with condos taking the rear with a 3.4% increase.
The median sales price of $435,000 was the highest May level in a decade – a $5,000 increase over May 2014.
Not all individual market segments experience an increase – condo prices went down 1% to $307,000 and single-family detached homes declined 2.3% to $540,000. Townhomes were up 1.7% to $427,000. Sales volume was up 19.3% compared to May 2014 – ringing in at $2.5 billion.
Year-over- year price changes in jurisdictions were mixed — with the District, Alexandria, Fairfax County increasing while Montgomery County and Arlington showing slight declines.
Distressed sales were down across the region. Most of the 266 foreclosures were in Prince George’s County (192) and Montgomery County (118).
Active listings continue to rise and have increased for 20 consecutive months.
There were 12,083 active listings at the end of May, a 15.8% increase from last year and a 11.3% increase from last month. Condo inventory takes the lead with a 21.1% increase, townhomes up 20.8%, and single-family detached homes at 12.2%. Fairfax County at 4,256 and Montgomery County at 3,330 have the largest number of active listings.
New listings increased 3.6% from last year, with townhomes with the most at 10.5%. New listings are down 438 or 5% compared to last month.
The median DOM at 12 days is lower than the 5-year of 16 days and the 10-year average of 24 days.
Washington, DC had the lowest number of DOM of 6 days, same as one year ago with PG County with the highest at 16 days, down from 19 days in May 2014. Townhomes have a median average of 10 days; condos at 15 days; and single-family detached homes at 12 days. | 2019-04-19T05:20:09 | http://www.wheredoyoudwell.com/higher-prices-and-quicker-sales-in-dc-metro-market/ | [

Halloween may be over for this year, but Haunted New Harmony is not stopping anytime soon!
Halloween is over, but there's still something special about hearing ghost stories in the Fall.

Haunted New Harmony based out of New Harmony Indiana is still celebrating the spooky season, with ghost walks!
Tickets are $15 per person, and the walk will last about 90 minutes. You can purchase tickets at Antique Emporium (525 Church Street, New Harmony, IN) or by clicking this link.
Thrills, chills and paranormal intrigue!

New Harmony, Indiana, is the site of two Utopian societies and many of its former occupants never left. Join us as we walk the moonlit streets and talk about the history and hauntings that set this town apart. Sometimes, the ghosts even come out to play.
They currently have two more dates listed,Saturday November 10th 7:00PM or Friday November 16th 7:00PM.

This is the website we love the most and the website which granted us the most awards. In its establishing year, it was selected as the “best website of the year” by PC World. In the Golden Spider awards, it is selected as the “best new site”.
Askfest is a foundation showing european movies. When we were establishing the website, we used Kieslowski’s, a director we really like, three movies (Bleu – Rogue – Blank). With three different colors, 3 different music and 3 different designs, you can browse the website, and moving from one design to the other is a smooth movement. | 2019-04-22T19:58:18 | http://www.mingus.co/en/works/askfest/ | [

Fort Kwunko, Alaska can be a cold, harsh place to live for the hardiest of the natives. For the daughter of two caucasian missionaries, it was downright hostile. For a creature designed to live in the steamy South American jungles, however, it could be absolutely maddening. Victoria had always believed that whatever SCABS did to a person, it would ultimately be for the best, even if the transformation seemed tragic at the time. This belief sustained her optimism when she came down with the Martian Flu. When her body became coated with a thick, shaggy fur, she reckoned that she was being equipped to better deal with the harsh climate of rural Alaska. However, when her face extended to five times its original length, the truth became painfully apparent. Victoria had become a giant anteater, and as such, unable to survive in the cold.
Having just about the lowest body temperature in the entire Mammalian order, Victoria could not even go for a walk outside, for fear of hypothermia. Thus, the anteater spent most of her time in her room, alone, bored, and miserable.
Before much time had passed, Victoria's parents saw just how unhappy their daughter had become. Seeing only one solution, they advised her to settle and seek employment in the southern, more hospitable climes. So it was that she came to our fair city, doing whatever she could to make ends meet.
It has always been accepted as true that a person who is willing to work hard could find a job in the food service industry. Sadly, the law has made this untrue for SCABs. The bureaucrats at the health department still consider SCABS a chronic disease, even though it is not possible to contract SCABS, or even the Martian Flu, from one already transformed. Thus, it has become illegal for restaurants to employ such individuals, with the exception of a handful of specialty establishments.
Fortunately, there's Chang's. Chang's pizzeria has done its community a wonderful service by establishing a policy of hiring SCABS as delivery drivers. Technically, since they never touch the pizzas, they're not in food service. It's a rather tight loophole, to be sure, but for Victoria, it meant gainful employment.
That was how I met her. One night, when I had gotten rather bored with fresh sushi, I ordered out for a pizza. "County road 3, mile marker 12." Victoria repeated to herself as she tooled along in her modified Volkswagen. Marker 12... Marker 12..." As she was searching, she pulled up to the edge of the lake.
"There IS no mile marker 12!" she huffed. Then, looking off to the right, she spotted the old cabin. Taking the pizza box and soda in her claws, she got out and walked over to the cabin. Using her tongue, she klacked the knocker.
Becoming frustrated, she went back to the car. She was about to get in and drive away when she heard an "Over here!" behind her. That, of course, would be me.
She started and blinked in surprise as I waved at her from the window of my burrow. With a small shrug, she brought me my supper.
"I hope you didn't have too much trouble finding the place." I said, somewhat apologetically.
Victoria chuckled. "I usually like the country routes because the houses are easy to find." she said. "I've never had to deliver a pizza to a mound of dirt before.
This time, I chuckled. "It's primitive, but it's home."
The anteater looked in through the window. "Oh, hey! That does look nice and cozy in there."
"Visitors always welcome." I said.
"Is that an invitation?" asked Victoria with a laugh.
"If you like, then that's exactly what it is." I extended my paw. "Oren Verden. My friends call me "Otter" for obvious reasons."
"Victoria Preston. I'd love to visit and share your pizza, but I'm afraid I'm on the clock. Another time, perhaps?"
"Certainly. Have a good night, Ms. Preston." When she drove off, I assumed I'd never see her again.
That night, Victoria sat alone in her tiny little apartment. She stared at the wall for an hour before sheer boredom prompted her to turn on the webstation. She logged into a movie channel and downloaded a good two-hour romance. As an afterthought, she checked her E-mail. There was a letter from Bobby there. Seeing it cheered her up instantly.
Bobby was one of the local Eskimo boys who had been her friend since she was in diapers. They had been dating when Victoria left, and even now, she still hoped that they would be together again.
"Dear Victoria:" the letter began. "I have some really interesting news. Two days after you left for the lower 48 I came down with the Martian Flu. I thought that I was ready to become whatever animal SCABS would turn me into, but imagine my surprise when I changed into a shapely young lady! I am going by Barbara, now. I know you hoped that we might date again someday, but this new development does make things a little difficult. I do hope that I can still be your friend. Mom and Dad and Kenny say "Hi".
Victoria felt her heart sink down into her tail as she stared at the screen. She had only known one love her whole life, and now he was gone. She didn't cry. She didn't complain. She just picked up her purse and went for a nice, long drive.
I couldn't sleep that night. I chatted on the Internet for a while, but that didn't last long. Rover, (my computer,) tends to drain the juice from the solar batteries once the sun has gone down. When my faithful computer shut down, I decided to amuse myself by going for a moonlight swim. After a few dives and a midnight snack of minnow, I lay on my back and looked up at the stars.
I almost didn't hear the quiet, repeating "pip-pip-pip-pip- pip"
I howled in pain as a rock ricocheted off my eye.
"Who's there?" demanded someone on shore.
"Who's here? Who's out THERE throwing rocks at me?"
"Mister Otter? Is that you?"
Swimming up to shore, I noticed Victoria sitting there with a flat rock between her claws. "I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. "I was skipping stones and didn't see you out there!"
"It's all right." I assured her, rubbing my black eye. "I've had worse."
I waddled up onto the shore and sat down next to the anteater. "So what are you doing all the way up here at this time of night?" I asked.
"Can't sleep." she replied. I knew there was more.
She dipped her head and scratched her nose with a foot. "Things are bad right now." she said. "I'm alone in this big city, I've got a promising career in pizza delivery, and my boyfriend back home is now a girl and probably dating one of the other Eskimo boys."
"I'm sorry to hear that. If it helps, I can sympathize."
I managed a weak smile that I wasn't sure if she could see. "I lost everything recently. My home, my work, my computer... That's when I decided to come out here. I thought I would try living wild."
"My girlfriend was upset that I didn't tell her. The fact is, I didn't tell anybody. I had planned to try and settle in before I sent the word out about my move. She took it personally."
"It sure is... but you didn't come up here to listen to my regrets."
"I don't mind." said Victoria as she put her claws on my shoulder. "Did you explain things to her?"
"Yes, but we decided to stay broken up... for other reasons. Age difference... species difference... the fact that she used to be my councilor..."
I skipped a rock of my own over the lake. Victoria clutched herself and shivered. "Cold?" I asked.
"Yeah. You wouldn't think so with all this fur, but this body gets cold real easily. That's why I had to leave Alaska."
"Don't move." I said, darting off and returning a moment later with an armload of firewood and a box of matches. It wasn't that long at all before both of us were warming ourselves before a nice, roaring bonfire.
"Can I ask you something?" asked Victoria.
"Do you hate your body? You know... being stuck as an otter?"
I felt embarrassed at the answer I had to give. "I'm not stuck. I can become human if I concentrate really hard."
"I can also take features from other mustelid species, but it's all involuntary."
I wanted to slip under the water and stay there. You know how it feels when you see pictures of starving children on a web commercial when you've got a fridge full of food? That's how I felt. Idly, I poked at the fire with a stick.
A piece of wood fell outward onto the back of my paw. Grimacing in pain, I ran and dunked my arm in the lake.
"Are you all right? Let me look..."
The skin was already furless and blistering. I know I must have looked a sight with one eye swelling shut and my paw clutched to my chest in pain.
"Do you have a first aid kit?"
"There's one in my car. We'd better get something on that."
"And some ice. Why don't you get the first aid kit out of my glove box while I put the fire out?"
"Because I don't know where you're parked."
About a half hour's drive later, we were at a convenience store buying a bag of ice and a bottle of aloe. We sat down at an undersized table while she bandaged me up and made an icepack. We sat at the table for a bit, just talking. I didn't think it had been that long until I began to look out the window and see the sun coming up.
"I know a great place that'll just be opening for breakfast. What do you say?"
We walked into the restaurant and were greeted from the kitchen window by Ellen. I was surprised to see her here this morning. She usually worked afternoons. I was doubly surprised that I could actually see her through the window. "Ellen?" I said. "You're standing up?"
She smiled and came through the kitchen door. She was indeed out of her wheelchair and on her feet, supporting the weight of her front half on two very long arm braces. "When did you get those?" I asked.
"Daddy bought them for me a couple of days ago. Who's your friend, Oren?"
"This is Victoria. Victoria, this is Ellen."
"Nice to meet you." said Ellen, extending her hand, making the brace dangle awkwardly from her arm. Victoria shook it politely. "So whatcha feel like having this morning?"
"I'll just have a couple of scrambled eggs." said Victoria.
"Biscuits and gravy." I added. "But how come you're out here taking our orders?"
"Eddie called in sick today. The rest of us are kind of switching jobs around to fill in."
"I'll have those for you in a minute!"
"So..." said Victoria once Ellen had gone back to the kitchen. "Do you come here a lot?"
"Not here. I usually go over to the bar side. The Blind Pig Gin Mill."
"I wouldn't have figured you for a drinker."
"And you'd be right. I drink milk, mostly. You'd be surprised, though. The Blind Pig is nothing like a normal bar. It's clean, well lit... Come on... I'll show you what I mean."
I took my anteater friend around the partition between the restaurant and the bar to show her what it looked like. It was pretty much empty, of course. Donnie was there, doing some ordering, and Scratch was sweeping the floor.
Just then, a stranger burst through the door. "I'M CURED!" he shouted.
'I'M CURED! Donnie, look! Oren, Oren, I'm cured!"
He grabbed my shoulders and smiled toothily. "Do I know you?" I asked.
"Oh, of course. You don't recognize me. How can you? It's me, Kieth!"
"That's right! And you won't believe this. There's a CURE for SCABS!"
Kieth's head was totally in a spin as he babbled incoherently about how he had become human once again. We sat him down at the table and calmed him down enough to get the whole story. He was just wrapping up when someone else came in the door. It was Doug, better known to his friends as "Wiley". A fully morphed coyote, he was a recent addition to the Lupine Boys, and possibly Kieth's greatest friend.
"Hi, Wiley." I responded. "Did you hear about Kieth?"
"That's right!" said Kieth. "Me and Wiley here have been to see the wizard."
::His name is Tom Sapacroli, and he's not a wizard.:: said The Coyote.
"By faith, Oren." Kieth replied. "That's all it took."
"It would work on you if you'd just believe." said the wolf. "Five years I was stuck in a full morph and in five minutes he cured me!"
I shook my head. "This sounds too good to be true." I said. Donnie nodded in agreement.
"But what if it is?" asked Victoria. "I want to check it out."
"It's probably a scam." said I. "I still remember that 'Unstuctane' deal a few years ago. My sister blew a fortune, but her husband is still a tiger."
"But this works!" Kieth insisted. "Look at me! I'm human!"
Victoria's eyes were starting to sparkle. I could tell she was hooked.
"How do we find this guy?" I asked.
"He's set up a great big tent just outside of Potsborough."
"That's right on the other side of the lake."
"I see." I said, not really seeing at all."
"Donnie, you ought to go." said Kieth. "You can be human again... and you'd be able to talk!"
I could see Donnie, the one who was normally dignified and above it all, shiver excitedly at the thought. "After bar close." he signed.
"Great idea!" said Kieth. We'll meet back here at closing time and I'll take you to see him!"
I was going along to see this for myself. I for one didn't need my SCABS cured, but if this turned out to be fake, which it probably was, someone would need to be there for damage control.
There was quite an assembly by the time we got around to going. Theo and Annette, my next-door neighbors, had insisted on coming in hopes of finding a way out of being fish. Dozens more from the bar came, for whatever reason, to see this Tom Sapacroli fellow. There was a large crowd gathered, and we could hear Sapacroli's voice booming over the speaker system.
"Do you believe?" asked the voice. "Do you believe that you can become human again and stop being an antelope? Well then my friend, be healed!"
I stuck my head inside the tent in time to see a fully morphed antelope slowly become human. He was being gripped at the shoulders by a thin, timid looking man with dark eyes and a wispy beard wearing a jet black suit. People were constantly entering and exiting, so no one really noticed when the lot of us took our places in the crowd.
"There's an inanimorph here." said Sapacroli. "I sense that there is an inanimorph... a stone man... who is reluctant to come up and be healed. Son, I urge you to come and let me help you to be set free."
Obediently, a man who looked like a granite statue made his way slowly to the stage.
"You've got to believe, my boy. Tell me, do you BELIEVE?"
"Well then come out of that stone body! Come out and be free!"
Slowly, the white stone began to transform into soft pink flesh. The statue-man took a deep breath, and suddenly, he was completely human. "I'm alive!" he proclaimed. "Good word, my heart is beating! Oh, thank you, Sir!"
"It was your faith that healed you, my lad. Now then, who is next?"
There was a chorus of "Me!"'s.
"I sense that there is a fish... a trout... No, two trout."
"Like that's so hard to see." I said. "You're in a fishbowl. It's obvious that you're stuck." Nevertheless, I carried the two of them up on stage.
"What are your names?" he asked.
"I'm Theo, and this is my wife, Annette."
"And do you wish to be healed, Theo?"
"Do you have the faith to become human once again?"
"Then come out of that bowl, Theo." Sapacroli placed his hand on the fish, who began to grow into the shape of a burly brown man. An assistant quickly covered him with a plastic robe as Sapacroli reached down to put his hand on Annette.
That was when I really started getting suspicious. If it was faith that was curing SCABS, why did he need to keep making physical contact?
Sapacroli seemed to look dismayed. "Annette, I sense that there is doubt in your heart. I'm sorry Annette. I cannot help you if you do not believe."
"But I want to believe!"
"And so you shall, Annette. I want you to stay and watch what we do here the rest of the night, and tomorrow, I'm confident your faith will be made perfect."
Sadly, Annette asked me to take her down.
Victoria followed the Jacksons. When he was done with her, she had become a mildly plump, though astonishingly cute, human girl. Many, many people who had come from the Pig went up to be healed that night. Donnie went up, though as one might expect, he was one of those whose doubts were too great to permit healing. Gornul went forward. When he came back, he was a smiling human man. Curiously, his smell did not change a lot. Vincent the mink went up. He was wiggling his fingers and saying "a piano! Somebody get me a piano!" To his dismay, he was another one who was asked to return tomorrow.
My thoughts turned momentarily to one who was most conspicuously absent: Phil. He was an intelligent hare. What would he think of all this? Would he rush up to shed his fur, or would he, like me, have too many doubts? Then came the moment that cinched it for me.
Once all the transformations were done for the night, Sapacroli, tired and sweaty, turned to the crowd and said "Friends, it was indeed a privilege for me to be here with you all and to help you discover the hidden healing power you all have inside of you. It is my goal to help as many people as I can in this way, but I will need your help. My staff and I have devoted ourselves full-time to this work. Because of this, we depend on contributions both for our livelihood and our traveling expenses. There are several of my assistants scattered about the tent with small coffers. They are ready to take whatever generous contributions you may have to give to further this work.
"It's a scheme." I said. "This whole thing is about getting people to part with their money!" Even as I said this, Victoria happily dropped a fifty dollar bill into one of the coffers.
The very next morning, I went to talk to Phil. I told him everything that I had witnessed, and of my concerns. He listened carefully, and nodded his head slowly. "I've heard of scams like this before." he said. "Usually, it's just a polymorph trying to make a quick buck."
"That's what I thought, too. What throws me off though, is that a polymorph's change lasts... what, twenty four hours? I called up Kieth this morning and he's still human and just as happy as fudge with it."
"I'm going to ask my friend in the department to run a background check on this guy." said Phil.
"Good idea." I said. "I'll see if there's anything on him on the web."
"Also a good idea." He seemed to study my face for a moment. "And don't worry. I'm not going to go begging this guy to change me too."
I breathed a sigh of relief mixed with a chuckle at myself for being so transparent.
After visiting with Phil, I went to see Victoria. She was feeling jolly and light, dancing around her apartment wearing a brand new dress that must have cost a fortune.
"Oren, it's so wonderful!" she was saying. "Now that I'm human, there are so many possibilities! I can go home if I want to. I can get a real job. I can do just about anything."
"How many cups of coffee have you had this morning?"
"Oren, you're so funny! I'm just so happy!"
Victoria... Listen, I've got my doubts about this whole thing, and I don't want to see you hurt."
"I appreciate your concern, Oren, but I don't think there's anything to worry about."
Gads... If this Tom Sapacroli did turn out to be bunko, and if he hurt Victoria, I'd personally wring his neck.
Over the next few days, it became almost impossible to find someone who had not gone to see this man. People all over the city, from two counties even, were going to either watch or be healed by this guy. Thus far, no transformees that I knew of had turned back, which leant some small amount of credence to the faith healer. Phil's and my searches, as well as those of the police, turned up nothing. No one had ever even HEARD of Tom Sapacroli. Of course, that was only using what electronic means were available. When those failed, I decided it was time for some old-fashioned sleuthing. After swimming across the lake to the outskirts of Potsborough, I tried to figure out how best to sneak around unseen. My body was one step ahead of me, though, as it began shrinking to the form of a least weasel. Now the size of a rat and the color of the dry grass, I could sneak about almost freely. I found the tent again with ease. It was deserted, naturally. Stopping to listen, I could detect voices coming from a nearby trailer. Cautiously, I ran over to listen.
"...not dry yet. These people are willing to give a fortune."
"I don't care!" said the familiar voice of Sapacroli. "This is our last night on the east coast, period. Two of the people have already changed back. More are going to follow, and we can only convince them that they've lost faith for so long."
"Where do we go next, then?"
"We disappear for a while. Things are getting too dangerous. Someone has been doing some investigation on us."
"I don't think so, or we'd be in jail by now. I think, however, that they're beginning to suspect a connection with Frank Willet and John Buzcado."
My heart stopped. I froze in place. The door of the trailer opened and out stepped Sapacroli. He stared straight at me with fearsome, penetrating green eyes. "Well well." he said. "I recognize you. You're the little otter who brought those fish to me last night, aren't you?"
What? How could he possibly know who I was? I growled at him and tried to act like a weasel. "Don't play games with me, boy." he said as he reached down to grab me. I wasn't about to get caught, though. I bit him on the hand and ran like mad. That was a mistake. As he stood there cursing, he began to change. His teeth became monstrous, and his fingernails turned into enormous claws. Changing back into an otter, I got back into the lake as fast as I possibly could. Sapacroli stood on the shore, swearing indignantly for several minutes before he turned back and shouted "Lars, we're leaving NOW!"
The second I got back to the burrow, I dialed the cell phone. "West Street Shelter. Phil Geusz speaking."
"Phil, it's Oren. Listen, I think I've pieced together what's going on. Meet me at the Pig in thirty minutes."
"He's a polymorph." I explained to the assembled patrons of the Blind Pig. "Extremely powerful. Quite possibly the most powerful in the world. What's more, he's got a platypus sense."
"At least I think that's what it is. It's a highly developed electromagnetic sense so sharp that he can read a living body like a book. He uses this to determine who's a unimorph and who's got a psychosomatic morphlock or just has very limited morphing powers. If he can change you, he does. If he can't, he tells you to come back tomorrow."
::But I saw several people get healed on their second day.:: said Wiley.
"Of course. He saves some for the next day to make it look convincing."
"But then there should be a much larger number of people who can't be healed." Phil noted.
"You're right. He balances the numbers by having selected helpers pose as unimorphs."
"That still leaves one question." said Kieth. "A polymorph's changes aren't permanent."
"And neither are his. After about a week, the transformations start to wear off. He then takes whatever donations he's raked in, runs off to a different town, and changes his name and his face. Thus far, ours is the third state he's hit, at least that we know of."
"You mean we're all going to change back?" said Theo, sadly.
I only nodded. "Two people have already. Maybe more."
"No!" said Victoria. "I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back!" She began to curl into a ball and whimper as though she were in physical pain.
I shook with anger at what I was seeing. Dropping from my chair, I stormed toward the door.
"Oren, where are you going?"
"I'm going to kill him. I'm gonna choke the life out of him with my bare paws!
I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I turned around to see Matt, who was even now growing his whiskers once again. "You just told us that this guy is the most powerful polymorph ever seen. If you tried to take him on alone, he'd tear you apart. Leave it to the police."
I sighed and nodded. He was right, of course, but that didn't change the rage I felt inside.
I took Victoria home. Neither of us said anything the whole way. We both just thought a lot about what was happening. I thought so hard, in fact, that by the time we finally arrived at her home, I had changed most of the way into a human. As she took her keys out of her purse, she asked me "Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"
I thought it would be polite to decline, but before I spoke, I saw the look in her eyes. She did not want to be alone. "Sure. I'd love one."
She was already starting to regress into an anteater by the time she reached the kitchen. Already, her nails were darkening. I scanned the apartment to take stock of her interests and come up with a topic of conversation which would distract her.
"Hey," I said, eyeing her video disk collection. "You like action movies?"
"I sure do." she replied. "But mostly, I'm just a Schwarzenegger fan."
"Cool! Did you ever see 'Hercules in New York'?"
"Yes! I love that one! I can't believe they actually dubbed his voice."
"They're planning a sequel to that one now. 'Hercules in Vegas'."
"You're kidding. Arnie is playing Hercules again at his age?"
"Hey, he looks good. Did you see him in 'Turboman 3'?"
Our movie-related banter was cut short as Victoria dropped the coffee pot. It hit the floor with a 'thunk' and cracked. The girl stood at the counter, staring sadly at her claws. I did all that I could. I came up behind her, put my arms around her and made comforting noises, telling her that everything would be all right. She let loose a few small sobs as her face stretched forward.
"Come on." I whispered. "We'd better get your clothes off before they go on their own." I picked up the coffee pot and placed it back on the counter. It was still in one piece, but would never hold coffee again.
I stayed with Victoria that night. We put on a romantic comedy and shared some tea as we snuggled on the couch. She fell asleep near the end of the movie, and I followed soon afterward. I awoke to the sensation of being poked in the side and hearing my name repeated.
"Oren? Oren? Wake up, Oren! Look what happened!"
I obediently opened my eyes. There stood Victoria, in full morphic form. Aside from the face, the tail, and the fur which covered everything, she looked human. She even had her human hair on her head.
"I woke up and I looked like this. I can change, Oren! I guess Sapacroli's morphing me must have unstuck something. I can go from this form to full anteater."
"That's great, Vic." Of course, it made sense. Since she was one of the lucky ones, she had to have an inherent shifting ability to some degree.
She kissed me on the nose. "Thank you for staying with me. That was really sweet of you to do."
I glanced at the clock on the microwave. It was already morning. "Glad to be of service." I said. A pause. "Are you going to be all right?"
"Good, because I have some work I have to get done this morning."
And I did. The first thing I did was to find a pay phone and dial up an old friend.
"Oren? Oren is that you? I haven't heard from you in ages! How are you?"
"Oh, I'm doing well enough. How are you doing, Karen?"
"I can't complain. The PI business hasn't been too bad to me."
There was a pause and the sound of rustling straw. "Not really, things have slowed down this past month."
"Have you heard of a guy named 'Tom Sapacroli'?"
I heard a snort. "Have I? I've had ten dozen calls this week asking me to find out if this guy is for real."
"Well, he's not. I found out that he's actually a polymorph running a scam. One very POWERFUL polymorph."
"But if that were true, wouldn't his changes reverse in twenty-four hours?"
"Not necessarily. From what I've seen, his last for about a week."
"Karen, this guy has hurt a lot of my friends this past week. I want to take him down."
"I am. I think it's time to round up the old gang."
After talking with Karen, I went to the bar to pick up my scooter. I walked in and saw an inordinate number of people there for this time of morning. I sat down on a stool between Jesse and Bryan. I hadn't figured on seeing either of them here this morning. It made sense to see the unimorphs whose dreams had just been dashed drinking and seeking comfort in the morning, but these two were full polymorphs. They hadn't lost anything. I realized of course that this was wrong. After all, I hadn't lost anything, either. If I was upset over the loss which my friends felt, why shouldn't these two be?
I looked around at the assembled patrons of the pig and said "You know what? We need a party."
"Well, yeah. Something to cheer these people up a little, you know?"
I just got a blank stare.
When I got back to my burrow, I turned on Rover to try to contact some old friends.
"Good afternoon, Oren." said the computer. "How are you today?"
"I'm peeved." I replied. How are you?"
"I am fine. Would you like to play a game?"
"No, Rover. I just want to open my E-mail."
I sighed. Whoever designed those personality chips needed to be shot. When I checked the mail, I found a note from Karen. It seemed that the feds had just arrested one James Utner, A.K.A. Tom Sapacroli. Inwardly, I was upset. I wanted to be the one to get him. I was even looking forward to rounding up my old rough- and-tumble buddies to do it. Se la vie. I read on. The way she'd heard it, an undercover agent disguised as a pigeon had been watching as Sapacroli emerged from his trailer and chased a small animal away. He'd been so upset that he ordered the camp to move out, and as he did, he lost control and slipped into his normal form. Once the agent identified him, he was able to move in and arrest the guy. I smiled maliciously. I guess I had helped to bring him in, after all.
Once I was sure that she was off work, I went to see Victoria. Our visit was happier this time, and we watched another movie together; "Batman Seven: The Return of Freeze". As we were watching the credits roll by, the doorbell rang.
It was Gornul, and he had a big old smile plastered across his clay face. "I thought I might find you here." He said.
"You have both been cordially invited to a private party at the Blind Pig Gin Mill. Bring Clothing."
Indeed I did. When the three of us arrived, there was a banner in the front window proclaiming "First Annual Blind Pig Normbash". The place was full of people. Surprisingly, most of them were human. It became apparent why when I looked to my left and saw Jacob, Jesse and Bryan, with several other polymorphs, sitting around a table looking tired.
"Hey, Oren!" called Jesse. I was amazed to see him human. He interpreted my quizzical gaze and said "It's true. I finally let my secret out."
"I find that if I work with the other polys, it doesn't hurt as much and they don't get tired as quickly."
"Well," I said as I climbed inside a brand new pair of shorts. "Guess it's time to get into the spirit." Running some math equations in my head, I changed into my old, human self. There were, of course, those who could not return to human form. For them, it was sort of a time to poke fun at the lot they had been dealt by fate. Phil ... serious, level-headed Phil, was parading around in a pin-striped suit and a stick-on mustache. Annette was wearing a lovely, if soaking wet evening gown as she swayed back and forth in her fishbowl while Theo held her fins. Ellen was back in her wheelchair, but she had her legs tucked up underneath her while a pair of mannequin legs peeked out from under a blanket.
I had to admire the cleverness of it. Bryan and Jesse had taken a sad situation and turned it into a party. They also, unknowingly, started a tradition. During the party, Victoria took me aside to one of the quieter corners of the bar.
"I wanted to thank you for everything you've done." she said.
"You took a poor girl from Alaska and made her feel welcome in a strange city. You gave me comfort when I was sad. You're a friend to me, Oren."
I blushed. It showed, with no fur to hide it.
Victoria just smiled. "Come on." she said, taking my hand. "I've got twenty-three and a half hours left as a human and I want to make the most of them."
Then she did the unexpected. She grabbed me and kissed me.
"What was that for?" I asked breathlessly.
"I was afraid I wouldn't be able to once my face grew back."
She and I danced the night away.
The "Normbash" had been great fun, and probably would have gone on for days if people hadn't started changing back. It was interesting to see what some of my friends had originally looked like. I had a big smile on my face as I rode home on my scooter. That smile lasted until I reached the door of my burrow. Stuck into the side of my hillock on a tent peg was a piece of paper.
It was an order to vacate. | 2019-04-21T04:40:18 | http://transform.to/~mwbard/tbp/orenvictoria.html | [
