We don’t learn loads about women + strikes and when we do, it’s often women within their workplaces fighting for rights and recognition, such as the Ford sewing machinists strike, 1968 which inspired the film Made in Dagenham.
When Girl Love #5 comes out later this year, you can read about the Matchgirls strike, 1888. Clearly this is crucial, overlooked history that we need to know, but there is something different about women striking as a class of people, across sectors and regions.
The UN declared 1975 to be the International Women’s Year and it was in this year that a feminist group, Redstockings staged a 24 hour strike, renamed as a “Women’s Day Off” to make it harder for employers to penalise those who took part and to make it more likely to secure support.
October 24th saw 90% of women in Iceland refuse to attend work, cook or look after kids and the country was brought to a standstill.
It’s so funny to imagine what the chaos looked like for men, who had to take their children to work, feed and entertain them – as well as compensate for the work that was usually done by women. Accounts from women are more inspiring: many attended rallies. It must have been empowering to fully comprehend the contribution that women make, and see it vindicated.
It is the crossover of interpersonal relations and political ones that makes it so radical. Not only were women shown to prop up the country economically but men in families were forced to acknowledge the unpaid labour that women do in the home.
Vaga de Totes is a feminist collective, who curated a day of protest on the 22nd October with 600 different organisations taking part. Their broad manifesto defends a woman’s right to abortion and economic freedom and is absolutely pro-migrant and anti-austerity. Women’s work is so consistently devalued, so it isn’t surprising that women bear the brunt of the economic crisis.
It’s amazing to see so many different groups come together under such a wide range of ideas, especially when you’reused to seeing in-fighting over the smallest of issues. The nature of a strike means that it simply can’t happen if there aren’t enough people willing to set aside differences for a common goal.
On Monday 3rd October, women across cities in Poland attended rallies rather than go to work or university. A proposed law would inflict a total ban on abortion, so women responded by demonstrating how effectively they can mobilise. Reportedly up to 6 million women took part in the strike, many dressing in black to mourn the loss of their reproductive rights.
This morning’s good news was that the government will remove its support for the law, with one minister quoted as saying that the women have “caused us to think and taught us humility”. We can pray for a day when women are no longer required to teach basic manners and common sense to grown men, but in today’s context, this is an excellent win for women’s movements. After seeing how quickly the government U-turned, it will hopefully inspire further action in Poland and similar demonstrations in other countries.

In response to the increased speed of CPU’s and the requirements for reduced power consumption in mobile devices, advanced ICs have undergone a lowering of voltage, conversion to flip chips, multi-layering and further size reductions. Consequently it has become difficult to analyze the timing of internal operations with conventional techniques.
The TriPHEMOS tool proves a non-contact method for analyzing circuit timing by detecting the faint light generated when CMOS transistors operate using a two-dimensional infrared detector, allowing analysis of device timing with picosecond precision.
New detector with sensitivity upto 1600 nm
New detector has sensitivity from 950 nm to 1600 nm while conventional one was up to 1400 nm. This extended spectrum sensitivity improves the detectability for backside analysis and for low voltage drive ICs.
New TDC (Time to Digital Converter) reduces analysis time
Newly designed TDC (Time to Digital Converter) capable to measure light emissions taken in 10 ms* with 12.5 ps time resolution. The dedicated analysis software enables to pick up the result in any time window from whole measurement range to investigate each event more in detail.
High repetition frequency by TDC (Time to Digital Converter)
The dedicated designed TDC (Time to Digital Converter) provides Max. 10 MHz repetition frequency. The dedicated designed TDC (Time to Digital Converter) has wide repetition frequency from 100 Hz to 10 MHz which provides user a flexibility in test program (loop length).
Simultaneous measurements with 2-dimensional (2-D) detector
The near-infrared 2-D detector measures the emission waveforms of all transistors in the field-of-view simultaneously, thus allowing the targeted transistor to be identified quickly.
Low noise measurements
The ems noise in the near-infrared 2-D detector of the TriPHEMOS is 1/1000 lower than the ems noise in conventional solid state detectors (in-house comparison), which allows the TriPHEMOS to acquire very faint light phenomenon as explained in the Measurement Principle.
The TriPHEMOS is equipped with a versatile platform suitable for backside operation. The platform allows the user to add additional detectors and work with laser applications. It is also designed to maximize the efficiency of setting up samples by reducing the complexity and length of the process.
Real-time imaging during measurements.
• ROI window is available for specific transistor analysis.
• Download output from logic simulator.
CAD Navigation Software
The optional CAD navigation interface software enables the user to overlay emissions on the CAD data for further analysis.
EO Probing Unit
The EO Probing Unit is a tool to observe a transistor's status through the Si substrate using an incoherent light source. It is composed of the EOP (Electro Optical Probing) to measure operation voltage of a transistor rapidly and the EOFM (Electro Optical Frequency Mapping) to image active transistors at a specific frequency.
● Timing verification
● Design verification during IC development
● DFM parameter collection
● Device failure analysis
Dynamic measurements of light emissions from LSI devices
CMOS transistors inside LSI devices emit light due to the flow of current when voltage is applied across the source and drain of a transistor. The resulting light emission phenomena can be divided into transient states and quiescent states.
Measuring transient light emissions (transient state)
Transitions from ON to OFF or vice versa occur in transistors inside LSI devices when their logic state is switched. A transient current flow in the transistor emits an impulse light. Making time-resolved measurements of the wave-form of the impulse light allows the time to be measured precisely down to the picosecond region.
Measuring quiescent light emissions (quiescent state)
Applying voltage to a transistor will cause current to flow and emit light whether the transistor is held in an ON or OFF state. The phenomenon differs according to the voltage applied to the LSI and the GATE voltage. The sub-threshold voltages that determine the characteristics of transistors and the numbers of defects also affect the amount of leakage in the flow of current when the transistor is OFF. Analyzing the light emission in a quiescent state makes it possible to locate defect points and track parameters such as fluctuations in transistor characteristics, and anomalies in LSI power supplies, etc. | <urn:uuid:aa317191-d4bc-490e-94b5-4f032a3197c7> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://sigmatech.com.ph/products/hamamatsu/triphemos-time-resolved-imaging-emission-microscope | 2017-06-28T03:52:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322320.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628032529-20170628052529-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.885421 | 896 | [

Lindsay Lohan went from one of the Hollywood’s hottest up and coming actresses to… well, just a hot mess. But she did have some cute clothes in her short heyday. Here, she’s wearing a vintage rainbow bandage dress from Herve Leger in 2007 at the Maxim Hot 100 Party. The bright colors look great outlined by the bold black trim on the hem and halter of the dress. These formfitting frocks by Herve Leger became quite popular over the last few years with some famous females – from young starlets like Lohan and Amanda Bynes to foxy grown-ups like Kim Cattrall. Lohan was actually named #1 on Maxim’s list that year, but she isn’t #1 on too many lists these days… After too many run-ins with the law, drugs and drinking, she’s fallen far from being Disney’s go-to-girl. (Fun Fact: It was a complete accident we chose Lohan as the “Look-of-the-Day” before realizing she was headed to court today!)

In 2008, candidate Barack Obama pioneered several innovative applications of digital technology. With the help of the Internet, he raised $750 million. He made use of social media platforms such as Facebook and MySpace to identify and communicate with supporters around the country. And through Meetup.com, he launched virtual get-togethers with voters in many different locales simultaneously.
Four years later, we see another wave of innovation enabled by mobile technology in the United States and around the world. Smartphones and handheld devices have proliferated and now outnumber desktop computers. Candidates, voters, activists, and reporters are using these vehicles for public outreach, fundraising, field organization, political persuasion, media coverage, and government accountability. Unlike 2008, where text messaging was the dominant feature of mobile campaign outreach, this year there has been a proliferation of mobile ads, video, web links, and apps.
As part of our Mobile Economy Project, I review innovative examples of campaign outreach made possible through mobile technology. I show how smartphones expand the opportunities for mobilization and ways in which certain policy steps would expand citizen participation.

Im taking a class with Jeanne-Marie Webb, Soulbearer.
In the class we are working with self drying clay.
I love this class.
First I made one, Then I made two more.
I left them to dry over one night and then they were ready for paint..
The first layer was black as always when working with clay.
Then it was the second layer and the third and so on until I was happy.
Painting the face was the most difficult part.
I think Im finished with her face but going to add more layers to her body..
And then I have two to paint :)
Have a great week.. | <urn:uuid:d89699c7-dc5a-4fac-ad47-8e2ab929f3ca> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://siggadisart.blogspot.com/2017/02/my-dolls-made-of-clay.html | 2017-06-28T22:33:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323807.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628222452-20170629002452-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.981603 | 136 | [

Add a teaspoon of oil and crack the egg into the spot. Scramble the egg to cook it. Then incorporate the egg into the rest of the fried rice. Repeat the same steps to add another egg.

The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia.
Full of charm and history, the city of Segovia is located 53 miles northwest of Madrid, high above the Castilian plane at the confluence of the rivers Eresma and Clamores.
Segovia has a population of 57,617 (2005) and is visited by thousands of people every year.
Main attractions include the Roman Aqueduct, the Alcázar, and the 16th century Gothic cathedral.
There are also more than 20 old Romanesque churches, convents, and monasteries spread all over the city and its surroundings, although most monuments are concentrated in the medieval urban center within the old city walls that have a length of 3 kilometers (1.86 miles).
In December 1985, the old town of Segovia and its Aqueduct were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
The Roman Aqueduct.
The Roman aqueduct is the most famous symbol of Segovia, a unique construction of civil engineering and probably the finest example of its kind still existing.
The aqueduct was built at the end of the 1st century AD without the use of mortar or cement, at a time when the Roman Empire was at its largest extent and covered most of the then discovered world.
The aqueduct is 813 meters long and raises to a maximum height of 28 meters (92 feet) above the Plaza del Azoguejo.
It is made of granite rocks and consists of 166 arches and 120 pillars arranged in two levels.
Originally built in the 12th Century over the remains of an old Roman fortress, the Alcázar (fortress) stands on top of a promontory dominating the Castilian plain.
In the Middle Ages, it became one of the favorite residences of the Castilian Monarchs and was successively modified until the 16th century when the conical towers and the sloped slate roofs were added.
In 1570, Felipe II married his fourth wife, Ana of Austria, in the Alcázar.
For most of the 17th and 18th centuries, the Alcázar served as a prison, until it was converted into the Royal Artillery School in 1764 during the reign of Carlos III.
On March 1862 however, the Alcázar was devastated by a fire and it was later reconstructed from 1882 to 1896 by architect Antonio Bermejo y Arteaga.
In 1898, after the restoration, the General Military Archives of Spain were moved to the Alcázar and placed on the upper floor where they remain to the present day.
October-March: From 10:00 am to 18:00 pm.
April-September: From 10:00 am to 19:00 pm.
Entrance fees: 4 Euros (6 Euros including the tower of Juan II).
Phone: (+34) 921 460759
Fax: (+34) 921 460755
Visitors don't forget to go to the top of the Tower of Juan II from where there are great panoramic views of the city.
The Cathedral of Segovia is a great example of the late Gothic style in the 16th century.
Its construction began in 1525 during the reign of Emperor Carlos V and it was consecrated in 1768.
The Cathedral is located off the Plaza Mayor within the old city walls, and it is easily identified from the distance by its tall tower, 88 meters (288 feet) high.
October-March: From 9:30 am to 17:30 pm.
April-September: From 9:30 am to 18:30 pm.
Entrance fees: 2 Euros (funds go towards the preservation and restoration of the Cathedral).

Visiting Segovia. How to get to Segovia.
Segovia can be reached from Madrid by train from Atocha and Chamartín stations.
It takes about 2 hours to get to Segovia and a return ticket costs 10.20 Euros.
Once you arrive at Segovia's train station, a bus (line 8) will take you to the Roman aqueduct in a few minutes.
Go to the tourist information office located at the Plaza del Azoguejo right below the aqueduct, get a map if you don't have one already, and begin exploring the city by yourself.
The main tourist route runs between the Roman Aqueduct and the Alcázar, and since many streets have been pedestrianized walking is the best option.
Note. Since January 2008 you can take the AVE (High Speed Train) at Chamartín Station and get to Segovia in only 30 minutes.
A return ticket costs 40.80 Euros.

This post includes all the other Momozono scenarios, the special routes for Ba Chou (CV: Sugita Tomokazu), En Chou (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke), Kakou En (CV: Namikawa Daisuke), and my concluding thoughts for the game. Needless to say, spoilers for the whole game and in particular, Chou Un’s bad end and Kakou Ton’s route.
Momozono (You can only see the scenarios while playing the game. So be sure to make appropriate save slots.)
Rakuyou, Ryuu Bi & Sou Sou: Kan U goes to visit Ryuu Bi and sees him drawing. Apparently Sou Sou gave him ink and brushes when he expressed that he wanted to draw. Sou Sou turns up just then, and Kan U vaguely asks if Ryuu Bi is no longer afraid of Sou Sou. Sou Sou sees through her question anyway and says that it’s alright to ask straight-out. Ryuu Bi says that he isn’t, since Sou Sou won’t get angry if he’s a good kid. Sou Sou even taught him Go and drawing, saying that it’s all part of his studying. This surprises Kan U and Sou Sou explains that as long as Ryuu Bi is here, he’ll need to be taught the basic education and knowledge. Go can help nurture one’s foresight while the brush and ink can build one’s character. Of course Ryuu Bi doesn’t understand anything.
Rakuyou, Ryuu Bi & Kakou Ton: Sou Sou allows Ryuu Bi out for one day – but on the condition that Kakou Ton watches over him and Kan U when they’re out. When Ryuu Bi almost runs off by himself, Kakou Ton grabs him and tells him off loudly which only makes Ryuu Bi tear up. He panics and says that he’ll give him sweets and whatever so asks Ryuu Bi to stop making that face pfft. Kan U tells Kakou Ton off, which makes him panic further as to why he’s the bad guy here. Kan U says that he can just gently tell Ryuu Bi and as she does so, Ryuu Bi listens to her and immediately brightens up as he gets to hold her hand. Kakou Ton only sighs at how he has to accompany them for the whole day.
Rakuyou, Chou Hi & Kakou Ton: Kan U and Chou Hi go after some Yellow Turban rebels but see Kakou Ton at the site too. Kakou Ton and Chou Hi start to bicker, and eventually decide to compete as to who can defeat more rebels to decide who is better. But even after that they start to argue who won: Chou Hi who defeated the rebel that looked the strongest vs. Kakou Ton who defeated the rebel that looked like the leader. Their arguing is hilarious with Chou Hi going “What! The one who says “idiot” is an idiot himself! Idiot!!” and Kakou Ton replying “Who is an idiot!! You single-cell organism!!”. Kan U can’t stop them and thinks that they’re similar in a weird way.
Rakuyou, Sou Sou & Kakou Ton: Kan U is ordered by Sou Sou to come along to take care of some Yellow Turban rebels. Sou Sou is joining them as the one who’s supposedly Chou Kaku’s right-hand man is there too, and may be capable of helping the Yellow Turban rebels recover. Sou Sou takes care of him swiftly though, and the others flee out of fear. Kakou Ton mocks at Kan U for feeling any sympathy, and Sou Sou adds that in a war there are only two sides no matter if you’re human or Jyuuza: your side or the enemy’s side. He advises her to throw away her naive thoughts if she wants to live. As much as Kan U understands this, she’d rather not have to face off against a fellow Maozoku anymore, and wonders if both of them don’t feel anything fighting against fellow humans.
Yu Shuu, Ryuu Bi & Chou Hi: Kan U cooks some snacks for Ryuu Bi, though the smell attracts both him and Chou Hi to her side. Ryuu Bi happily offers for everyone to share them, since things taste more delicious that way. They all go out to eat, and Kan U remarks how it’s like the old days. Ryuu Bi is happy to hear how they haven’t changed, though Chou Hi remarks that Ryuu Bi is the one that hasn’t changed the most. Ryuu Bi sadly asks if he will never change, and Kan U reassures him – they both like him as he is. Cheered up, Ryuu Bi says that he’s happy that they’ll always be together.
Yu Shuu, Ryuu Bi & Chou Un: Kan U sees the two of them flying a kite. Chou Un explains that it’s actually used in war times to send messages to soldiers far away, but Ryuu Bi asked to be taught how to handle it so that he can play with it.
Yu Shuu, Chou Hi & Chou Un: The two of them are practising together and take a break, while Kan U brings some cold tea to them. Chou Un praises Chou Hi’s fighting skills, but points out that he just needs to work on his concentration levels. He suggests writing Buddhist scriptures while practising zazen. When Chou Hi hears the explanation for those, he immediately rejects and flees the scene lol.
Yu Shuu, Chou Ryou: Kan U is picking fruits in the forest when she senses someone watching her. It turns out to be Chou Ryou, who is collecting information for Ryo Fu. Kan U is naturally on her guard, and Chou Ryou tries to explain that they’re not intending to invade Yu Shuu or anything. He merely wants to make sure of all the war situations in other territories, and the relationships between each of them. Kan U questions that since it doesn’t matter to Chou An and Chou Ryou agrees so, since Tou Taku is currently on the defensive mode. He adds that in fact, he’s here to collect information on her. This naturally freaks Kan U out and Chou Ryou realises that she’ll always be conscious of him now. He decides to retreat for now and come back to watch and report on her to Ryo Fu when she has forgotten everything. But Kan U feels that there’s no way she can forget this lol.
Yu Shuu, Others: Chou Seihei sees Kan U making sweets for everyone and is reminded of someone he knew in the past. The only difference is that that girl wouldn’t say who the sweets were for as it was her secret with someone else – there was no doubt that she was in love then. Kan U gets embarrassed and denies that she’s in love too, since it’s for everyone and hurries off. Chou Seihei wonders to himself how Kan Rei would think of Kan U now.
Chou An, Ryo Fu 1: Kan U is made to accompany Ryo Fu on her shopping, and she notes that everyone fears Ryo Fu. She even makes unreasonable requests to the shop owner, asking for 100 different types of hair and neck accessories. As she picks something out for Kan U, Ryo Fu also gives her a small hand mirror so that she can see it for herself too. Kan U refuses at first but eventually has to accept it.
Chou An, Ryo Fu 2: Kan U is called to see Ryo Fu, who wants to talk about something urgent. Asking to check her hand, Ryo Fu is shocked to see that Kan U’s nail has a crack it in – that was her urgent matter she wanted to talk about lol. Ryo Fu quickly gives her some cream to apply, and it’s apparently something special concubines used in Yin/Shang Dynasty. Kan U wonders how Ryo Fu can have access to that so easily, but quickly runs off when Ryo Fu makes her advances on her instead.
Chou An, Chou Sen 1: Kan U has to sneak in to buy some food for the Maozoku, ‘cos Tou Taku strictly ordered them to not enter. Chou Sen sees her and calls out to her asking for her agenda. Upon hearing that she isn’t here to see Ryo Fu, Chou Sen can’t be bothered. Kan U explains that she’s buying extra food to celebrate for some kid’s birthday, as all Tou Taku gives them are vegetables. Chou Sen remarks on how troublesome it is and Kan U is surprised to hear that she’s older than her. Chou Sen gets mad and runs off.
Chou An, Chou Sen 2: Kan U asks to see Ryo Fu, wanting to see Ryuu Bi through her. Chou Sen comes in at this point, and makes noise when she hears that she wants to see Ryo Fu. Ryo Fu comes down too and tells Kan U to check her messy hair with the hand mirror she gave her. Chou Sen gets more annoyed that Kan U got something from her lover. Despite Kan U’s efforts to explain, Chou Sen keeps rambling on while Ryo Fu is delighted to see them fighting over her. Kan U decides to give up for today since no one is listening and leaves for now.
Chou An, Chou Ryou, Ryo Fu & Chou Sen: All of them, including Kan U, is accompanying Ryo Fu on her shopping. Ryo Fu laments on how it’s not enough, which surprises Kan U since she has bought enough stuff to have 5 horses lugging it around. Tou Taku gives Ryo Fu special treatment so she still has more than enough money left. Ryo Fu offers to buy stuff for her and Kan U decides to politely refuse by saying that she’s content to just look. However, Ryo Fu takes this as Kan U enjoying spending time with her. Kan U tries to explain otherwise but Ryo Fu tells her not to be shy and they can be together alone next time. While Chou Sen makes noise, Chou Ryou merely registers: oh so this is how one hides embarrassment, lol.
Chou An, Others: The Maozoku are worried about Ryuu Bi, and one elderly man even wants to go off to search for an immortal to help them. The rest are trying to stop him since it may be a myth for all he knows, plus many go off but none have returned as the mountains there are full of dangerous beasts. Kan U persuades him successfully by saying that this is for both their sake and Ryuu Bi’s sake, as no one would be happy if he disappeared by himself and never returned.
En Shuu, Sou Sou & Kakou En: Kan U brings ink and paper to Sou Sou’s room as ordered but he’s not in. Just then, Kakou En comes to report to Sou Sou about the soldiers’ training only to find her. He starts accusing her of coming in to steal documents and luckily for Kan U, Sou Sou returns. After getting the ink and paper from her, he tells Kakou En that he needs to cool his head sometimes – acting impulsively will harm his own men on the battlefield too. He adds that the previous report Kakou En submitted was full of mistakes and tells him to correct it asap. Kakou En immediately runs off to do so and Kan U thanks Sou Sou since intentional or not, he did help her out there.
En Shuu, Kakou Ton & Kakou En: Outside, a messenger from the Kakou family sees Kan U and after confirming that she works at Sou Sou’s, he asks her to pass the letter to Kakou Ton. Just then, Kakou Ton and Kakou En come out and she passes it on to them. Apparently Kakou Ton’s father is worried about their current condition so Kakou Ton asks Kakou En to write a reply too. Kan U is surprised to hear that Kakou En addresses Kakou Ton’s father as “uncle” aka they’re not brothers. Kakou En explains that he’s from a branch family and so they’re cousins. But they treat each other like real brothers since they’ve been together since young. Kan U remarks that it’s similar to how she sees Chou Hi as a younger brother even though they’re not, and Kakou En takes things the wrong way as he gets mad at being compared to Chou Hi. He doesn’t seem to listen to any of Kan U’s explanation so Kakou Ton tells him to not waste their time and hurries off. Seeing how Kakou Ton cut the conversation, she wonders if he kinda helped her back then.
En Shuu, Chou Ryou: Kan U spots Chou Ryou surrounded by women, apparently drawing out information from them. She decides to slip away but he ends up spotting her and chasing after her. He’s collecting information from all areas to report to Ryo Fu and Kan U lets slip that he’s doing the same work as her too. Chou Ryou immediately gets the picture and tells her to not worry about him telling anyone since he’s a spy here too. Since he went to Yu Shuu to check things, Kan U asks how the Maozoku are doing there. Chou Ryou informs her that they’re well, and he guesses that the only problem would be that Ryuu Bi is lonely.
Jo Shuu, Ryuu Bi & Chou Hi: Ryuu Bi is taking a nap on Kan U’s lap, and Chou Hi happens to spot them when he’s searching for Chou Seihei. Chou Hi starts to make noise, even though Kan U hushes him, Ryuu Bi eventually wakes up. Hearing Chou Hi’s complains, Ryuu Bi asks if he can’t sleep on her lap, and of course Kan U says that he can – so Ryuu Bi rolls on her lap some more lol. Chou Hi starts getting embarrassed as he awkwardly says that he wants to do it too – but ends up running away pffft. Kan U wonders why he got angry and decides to ask him later since Ryuu Bi has fallen asleep on her lap.
Jo Shuu, Ryuu Bi & Chou Un: Ryuu Bi finds that a baby bird has fallen from his nest. Unfortunately, Kan U can’t reach for its nest to put it back. Chou Un comes along and he helps them to do so. Ryuu Bi wonders how he can become like Chou Un – big and kind. Chou Un remarks that Ryuu Bi is kind already. Though he couldn’t put the bird back himself, the actions he took to want to save it is what is important – that’s why he approached Chou Un for help. Kan U agrees with him, and Ryuu Bi gets embarrassed lol. So all that’s left is to get big so he asks Chou Un for the secret. Chou Un ponders over this as it’s a hard question and asks to be given some time lol.
Jo Shuu, Chou Hi & Chou Un: Chou Hi and Kan U are helping out to fix the houses in Jo Shuu. Chou Hi isn’t used to it, as he hurts himself with the hammer. Chou Un comes over ‘cos he heard his loud scream pfft. Kan U feels bad for making Chou Hi work on fixing the chair, but Chou Hi naturally says that it’s nothing – except that he hurts his finger again lol. Chou Un then steps in to show him how to properly hammer in the nail. Seeing Kan U impressed by this, Chou Hi quickly does the same too and he succeeds at first – but ends up hurting the same finger again when he’s distracted lol. Chou Un goes to treat his finger, since he has hurt it thrice already, and tells Chou Hi to be more careful next time. Seeing this, Kan U thinks to herself that they’re really acting like brothers.
Jo Shuu, Chou Ryou: Kan U goes to check on the situation, as En Jutsu’s men seemed to have infiltrated their land. She finds that Chou Ryou has taken care of them already, and is here to pass her a congratulatory message from Ryo Fu, on gaining Jo Shuu – as expected he imitates Ryo Fu’s tone lol. He says that he’s here for something else though and Kan U is worried when he’s asking someone about something “top secret”. Chou Un spots her with Chou Ryou (who escapes in the end) and wonders what they’re up to. On another day, Chou Un sees that Kan U is searching for Chou Ryou, who turns up before them as if nothing happened. In the end, it turns out that he’s only here to ask how to make a certain sweet from Jo Shuu pfft.
This starts off from their first meeting in Chapter 4. Due to Kan U’s first impression of Ba Chou, she wonders why someone as flippant as him is participating in the battle. As he hesitates in his answer, his men interrupts the conversation and he excuses himself – though he promises to flirt with her properly the next time lol. Later, Kan U asks Chou Seihei more about Ba Chou’s background, and learns that he came far from the North side. He and his people doesn’t actually have any allegiance to the Han reign, so Kan U only wonders further what he’s doing here. One day, Tou Taku’s army invades their camps and both the Maozoku and Ba Chou’s men are told to fend them off ‘cos it’s a “small” invasion. Ba Chou seems hesitant to give out the orders to his men though, so Kan U says that they’ll go ahead on their own. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a “small” invasion at all and just before they are overpowered, Sou Sou sends his men over and they defend successfully.
That night, Kan U sees Ba Chou and questions him about the afternoon’s events. However, he’s reluctant to answer and Kan U notices that he has that similar pained expression from this afternoon. Kan U eventually gets mad and accuses him not being serious – if that’s the case then he should withdraw his men from this war. If not, that half-hearted attitude of his will only hurt his men. As much as she doesn’t have any allegiance to the human affairs, but it concerns the lives of her people and that’s why she chooses to fight. The next day, Kan U apologises for going overboard since she doesn’t know his background. But Ba Chou thanks her instead, as he has been pushing back what’s important to him – the lives of his men. He decides to withdraw his men since he has no allegiance here. But today also happens to be the day of attacking Shisuikan, and Sou Sou orders Kan U to also go and defeat Ka Yuu. Though Ba Chou protests, Kan U accepts this since Sou Sou threatens to kill the Maozoku if otherwise. Ba Chou understands this is her way of protecting her people, and Kan U notices that though she keeps seeing his smile – she always keep seeing this pained expression of his too.
Kan U bids him farewell before going to attack Ka Yuu. Unfortunately his attack proves to be too dominant at first and she has trouble gaining her ground at first. Ba Chou suddenly comes in at this point, much to her surprise. They end up defeating Ka Yuu together. He came here on his own though and told his men to stay behind – but not long after they can hear his men searching for him lol. As Kan U remarks that they must be worried, Ba Chou says the same back to her: even if the Maozoku may be alright, they’ll be upset if anything happens to her. So she shouldn’t keep bearing the burden by herself. Kan U asks why he came after her, and he answers that he can’t return without kissing the girl he has set his eyes on pffft. He insists that he isn’t joking and was attracted to her strong will to protect her people. He finds her similar to his father, and seems to now know what he’s missing. Ba Chou thanks Kan U as he purposely whispers into her ears.
However, Kakou En expresses displeasure at the fact that Kan U and Ba Chou defeated Ka Yuu, calling them eyesores. Sou Sou agrees that while he has control over Jyuuza, Ba Chou’s men are different, especially with concerns to his father (馬騰; Ma Teng). After the battle with Tou Taku is over, Sou Sou seems to have other plans for Ba Chou. Meanwhile, a banquet is held that night to celebrate the fall of Shisuikan. Both Kan U and Ba Chou end up not going and bump into each other in the nearby forest. Kan U thanks him for coming to help her in the afternoon, which causes Ba Chou to feel uneasy with her being so direct. As she laughs at this, he remarks that he’d like to see her smile more – if possible on his bed for the night lol. As he continues to flirt with her, Kan U comments that usually people wouldn’t call her an ideal woman. But to Ba Chou, an ideal woman is someone who is strong in heart and will fight for the sake of those important to her – just like Kan U. He then kisses her on her forehead, as her thanks for this afternoon. Kan U slowly starts to think more dearly of him and enjoys their time together.
But a deciding point arrives when they come to Rakuyou and find that Tou Taku has set it on fire. Kan U wants to go after Tou Taku, as Sou Sou has decided, ‘cos as long as he’s around the Maozoku won’t have peaceful days. Ba Chou wants to withdraw here already since he has done his part, and doesn’t want her to go either. Apparently, Sou Sou had also sent him an appeal to join the alliance against Tou Taku. His people were happy to have a chance to show off their capabilities and that’s why they joined. Yet they were still discriminated against. Moreover, he suspects that they and Maozoku were thrown into that fight against Tou Taku’s men on purpose – as if sending them to their deaths. But Kan U points out that Sou Sou did send his men in the end. In the end, Ba Chou decides to follow her if she insists. But she tells him to return to Ryou Shuu (涼州; Liangzhou) with his men. Stuck between her and his men, Ba Chou suddenly carries her and rides away. They meet Chou Ryou along the way though, who starts to attack them. Kan U is hurt and she starts to fade out. Apparently Chou Ryou’s sword has some special medication on it. He asks Ba Chou to convey Ryo Fu’s message to Kan U: to stop chasing Tou Taku if not the Maozoku will be hurt.
After Chou Ryou leaves, Ba Chou quickly goes to treat her wound. Luckily he has some yakushu (alcoholic beverage for medicinal purposes) and does mouth-to-mouth, I mean feeds her by mouth~ Kan U starts feeling better, but she also gets a bit drunk on the alcohol lol. Ba Chou conveys Ryo Fu’s message to her, and also asks her to return with him to be his bride. He doesn’t want to see her get hurt anymore and promises to protect her, and to take on her burden. But Kan U can’t bear to leave behind her people, as much as she would like to follow his words. In the end, Ba Chou sees her back to Rakuyou without saying another word. They meet Chou Hi on the way back, who starts shouting at Ba Chou for stealing Kan U away. They almost start fighting, but then Ba Chou remarks that Chou Hi would be able to be with her for the rest of his life, and asks for Chou Hi to give him some time now. So he suddenly rides off with Kan U, leaving Chou Hi alone pfft.
They end up in a quiet forest similar to the last time. Ba Chou admits that if it was his past self, he would’ve just taken off with Kan U back to his homeland. But he’ll work hard to mature into someone capable, just like his father. It may be goodbye for today, but it’s not goodbye for the rest of their lives. He promises to come to get her again when the time comes, and kisses her as a proof of that promise. As Ba Chou calls Kan U by her name (he usually calls her 嬢ちゃん), he says that he loves her and she’s the only woman he has kissed. (The ending line by him after the credits is that even though they’re separated for now, Kan U will always be his after that kiss.)
This takes place 3 months after Chou Un’s bad end. In the end Kan U never knew the details about Chou Un’s death, but continues to have nightmares of him dying. She followed En Shou to Ki Shuu, where he offered to stay by her side till her ‘wound’ heals. As a result of his constant sweet-talking, Kan U forgets all her responsibilities and worries (Yu Shuu which En Shou governs now, Chou Un, Maozoku) even though she feels bad. Eventually, Kan U soon started to cry less while thinking of Chou Un and everyone else, and instead smile more for En Shou. But one day, she sees some Maozoku being taken by En Shou’s men as prisoners outside her room and as she recalls Sou Sou’s warning to her, she goes to find En Shou. Upon listening to her, his attitude completely changes as he says that their only sin was their Maozoku identity – or as he calls them, monster cats. The “cleaning” he mentioned was referring to them – as long as there are people who desire for their skills, war will continue. En Shou claims that the Emperor has ordered for the Jyuuza to be taken down. Currently they’ve shut themselves in Jo Shuu’s castle but they probably won’t last for long – he can save them though.
As a trusted figure of the Emperor and a noble’s son, he can persuade the Emperor. En Shou tells Kan U to send a letter to Jo Shuu to get them to come out and under En Shou (essentially this gives him control of Jo Shuu). As Kan U hesitates, En Shou questions if she doesn’t believe him, someone who could accept and love her, a monster. Kan U is eventually influenced by his words that she’s dirty etc., and that no one else will love and protect her if even he abandons her. En Shou tells her to remain by his side where he’ll protect her, and if she leaves for Jo Shuu the Emperor may see her as going to lead the rest to rebellion. He then asks her to beg him to save her loved ones, Jo Shuu, and to not abandon her. Hesitantly, Kan U does so and upon saying those words, it was as if something snapped. Something she should’ve held onto – her bonds with her loved ones, hope, and reason. But Kan U feels that she only has En Shou left and doesn’t have anywhere else to go, and will never be forgiven by the Maozoku.
Kan U sends out the letter, and later En Shou assures her that they’ve been saved. But it took him a lot of effort to persuade the Emperor and he may have even fallen out of his favour. He asks Kan U to heal him and forces himself onto her. As En Shou roughly kisses her, Kan U realises that this was the true him all along. He remarks that they’re complete opposites. While she’s quick on the battlefield to defeat enemies, he’s no good with the sword and instead focused on studying, governance, and tactics. Their births, beliefs, paths are all different with no commonalities. According to En Shou, there is only one thing which saves her – the fact that they’re opposite genders, so she can always be his. Kan U thinks to herself that the times spent together with him were first calming, but now it’s sweet, thick and almost numbing – like poison. The more time spent together, her thoughts seem to dull. En Shou comments that she really doesn’t seem to know anything, to which Kan U can only agree – she is the descendant of a youkai after all. Seemingly pleased, En Shou says that it’s alright for her to remain outside the “box”. Kan U fails to understand his words, but she recognises that his smile just now wasn’t fake. As time passes, his attitude changed as he dropped the formalities and a cynical smile would often be worn on his face. But she was happier than the times when he used kind words on her.
One day, a soldier approaches Kan U claiming to be from Yu Shuu. Yu Shuu has spies all over and he finally managed to come into contact with Kan U as he was given the role to watch over her. He can’t tell her straight-out what En Shou really did since she just recovered from her depression, but he’s certain that her letters never got sent out and she’s being lied to. Of course Kan U guessed so long ago, but she could never bring herself to think about it. He says that he’ll come the day after to help her escape. But En Shou seems to have overheard this conversation. Later, Kan U decides to ask En Shou about her letters to Yu Shuu, and he reassures her as he passes her a reply. Unfortunately, she sees that it’s fake as the seal used at the end is not real – the real one uses gold foil in its stamp ink. The next day, the soldier comes to inform Kan U of their escape route. En Shou will be out tomorrow to meet royalty so it’s their one and only chance. It’s Kan U’s last chance to learn to truth, and her last hope. But once again, En Shou seems to have caught up on this.
On the promised day, Kan U is surprised when two of En Shou’s men appear instead to attack her. They claim that En Shou turned down a marriage set-up with a royal princess ‘cos he had her. En Shou appears in time though and kills them both, saying that the price is heavy for laying hands on his toy. He can’t be bothered with the royal princess, someone who can only live within her status “box”. However, Kan U is shaken by something else – the soldiers claimed that they were the ones who killed Chou Un too. Just then, the Yu Shuu spy appears late and is shocked to see En Shou. En Shou naturally doesn’t let him leave alive, even using poison on his sword. Poison on his sword, in the sea of blood spilled upon the room – En Shou’s smile is poison, and so is the man himself. Poison which has captured Kan U’s freedom. En Shou invites her to sleep in his room tonight after what has happened. Though it’s pitiful how the soldier who tried to save her ended up dying, claiming that she as a monster cat only brings others misfortune.
Kan U is influenced into thinking that his death, her father’s death, and even Chou Un’s death are all her fault. There’s no more hope or future for her. Without anywhere to go, with no one who will forgive her, there’s only En Shou. She no longer has the courage to see the truth behind all of En Shou’s lies. En Shou tells Kan U that he’s the only one that can love a monster like her, who will stay by her side – and Kan U replies the same back to him. He had no intentions of handing her to anyone from the first moment he saw her, not Sou Sou or even Chou Un. Even if it meant telling lies and creating something false, as long as he could capture her and now indeed she is his. All she needs to do now is to just feel his love.
The route starts off with a replay of Kakou En’s last conversation with Kakou Ton (from Kakou Ton’s good end), particularly Kakou Ton advising Kakou En that he may see things like he does now if he interacted with Kan U and co. more. Kakou En wonders why they have to accept such despicable existences to mature. But thinking about it, Kakou Ton put his own life on the line to convey to him this.
Time skip to when Sou Sou was the only one that pursued Tou Taku and ends up heavily injured. They decide to retreat and to Kan U’s surprise, Kakou En approaches her. He questions what she’s going to do now, as even if they returned to their village nothing has been solved. Instead, he asks her to return with them. After some thought, Kan U agrees that it may be more favourable to stay with them, and Kakou En assures her that the other Jyuuza will be brought along too. Kakou En even waits her for to follow behind him, as he confidently says that despite the heavy injury, Sou Sou won’t die here. Kan U can only wonder what happened Kakou En say all of this to her. In the end, Kan U joined Sou Sou’s army as a general and the other Maozoku set up a village in a corner of En Shuu.
One day, Kan U chances upon Kakou Ton telling Kakou En off for being late twice in a row already – apparently Kakou En overslept lol. Afterwards, Kakou En spots Kan U and insists that even though they’ve been grouped together to fight alongside recently, Kakou Ton definitely hates it secretly. Kan U merely answers that she knows they dislike Jyuuza, but wonders why he’s talking to her when he could just ignore her. Another day, Kan U is picking mushrooms in the forest when she hears a voice. She decides to track it down and sees Kakou En practicing alone. He senses her presence before she can slip away though. Hearing that she’s picking mushrooms, Kakou En scorns at how they’re so relaxed when it’s in the middle of times of war. Kan U just answers that there’s no choice since the food they’re provided isn’t enough. She knows that Sou Sou plans to immediately go after Tou Taku once he recovers, and even sends Maozoku to check on the situation in Chou An every now and then. As he defeats the last of the Yellow Turban rebels, he’s also been expanding his own army.
Knowing that it’ll be a big battle coming up, Kan U tells Kakou En to work hard. He’s surprised by her remark, asking if she doesn’t feel regretful that he’s being paired up with Kakou Ton instead of her and Kakou Ton. Kan U answers that while they’ve fought together they’re still not 100% there when teamed up so it’s better for her to stay behind after all. Kakou En reveals that Sou Sou wanted all three of them to defeat Ryo Fu together, but he protested to this as he didn’t want Kan U in the picture. Just then, a tiger appears before them. When Kakou En explains that its weakness is the cervical vertebrae, Kan U immediately offers to cooperate by acting as a lure when she attacks, and having him deliver the critical blow. Before he can respond, she goes forth immediately and in the end they defeat it together. Kan U thanks him but he’s yet again surprised. That plan of hers would put her in a dangerous position no matter what so he can’t understand why she trusted him when she’s supposed to hate him. Kan U doesn’t understand his words at first, since she’d thought all along it was the opposite way. But she believed that he would follow her up since he’s a warrior after all. Kakou En still doesn’t understand why she would believe him when he’s not Kakou Ton. He goes back to their previous conversation, that he protested to her involvement at the frontlines. Kan U shrugs at this since she never really thought of participating in it from the start.
Kan U then recalls that he’s good with the bow and arrow, and commends on his precision. Kakou En tells her that it’s merely passing time though, and he’s a sword user just like Kakou Ton. Still, Kan U think that he’s gifted in that aspect and questions why he chooses to use the sword. Kakou En feels that it’s meaningless if he isn’t fighting beside Kakou Ton. He couldn’t protect Kakou Ton “at that time”, and if only he didn’t separate from Kakou Ton then. “This time” he wants to be by Kakou Ton’s side to protect him. Kan U doesn’t understand what he’s referring to, but she can see that it pains him a lot, so she offers to practice with him since it’s more effective that way – though she knows that he may also have his own reasons for practicing alone in a deserted forest. To her surprise, Kakou En accepts it as along as she doesn’t let anyone else know. He tells her to wake him up tomorrow morning for practice. Kan U is taken aback since he’s bad at waking up early yet he wants to do morning practice. But Kakou En insists since he thinks it’s better and less people would be up then too. So after that, Kan U going to wake up Kakou En for practice becomes part of her daily schedule. It’s surprisingly difficult ‘cos Kakou En is hard to wake up lol.
During one practice session, Kakou En prepares to spar as he goes “完全無欠ぅぅ” and Kan U quickly stops, asking if he’s saying some special skill name while doing it. Kakou En confirms this, as he explains that when the special skill 「完全無欠十文字」is complete, he and Kakou Ton will be imprinted in the history of Sou Sou’s army as legends pffffft. Till that is finished, she’ll have to act as Kakou Ton’s replacement for now. Seeing how he’s excited to the point where sparkles seem to appear in his eyes, Kan U can’t help but find him surprisingly innocent and pure. One morning, she goes to wake Kakou En up but sees that he’s having a nightmare. She manages to wake him up, though he falls back asleep soon after lol. It’s the day of the battle against Ryo Fu though so she decides to let him sleep in for today and will call him up later. Kakou En seems to actually be awake though, as he mutters how it would’ve been nice if that was really only a dream.
On the battlefield later, Kan U is surprised to see Kakou En at the back, and he explains that he got separated by the enemies. He appears confused as to why she’s not with Kakou Ton, but then recalls that it was himself who asked for it. He quickly goes to find Kakou Ton and Kan U follows after him as she’s worried. Kakou En finds Kakou Ton in time, but he isn’t quick enough to protect Kakou Ton as he’s shot in the eye by an arrow. Kan U quickly goes to support him up, as he soon pulls the poisoned arrow out. Seeing Kakou En shaken, she tells him to hang in there and that they need to treat Kakou Ton’s wound asap. She recalls what Sou Sou said: if it’s the three of them they can overcome anything together. After which, Kakou Ton is treated though Kakou En blames himself for everything, and never visited him once. Not even Sou Sou knows where he has disappeared off to these past few days. So Kan U decides to go find him and eventually discovers him by the river.
Kakou En says that he wants to leave Sou Sou’s army, ‘cos at this rate he’s going to keep doing things he can’t recover – he blames himself for all that happened, Sou Sou who was hurt badly, Kakou Ton who lost his left eye. He can’t change the results no matter how hard he tries. If only he had more excellent skills, perhaps he could’ve changed things. He lashes out at Kan U, and how unfair it is that she was born with the physical abilities she has, and gained the trust she has from both Sou Sou and Kakou Ton – she has everything he wanted. Kakou En breaks down and it’s the first time Kan U has seen him shed tears. She can’t help but think to herself how clumsy he is, and silly to blame it all on himself. She’s sure Kakou Ton would’ve thought the same. Kan U wonders if he constantly blamed himself, and that resulted in him going to train in secret. But somehow both his clumsiness and silliness feels dear to her. As she reaches out to comfort him, Kakou En slaps her hand away and unintentionally, making Kan U lose her balance and falling into the river.
Shocked, Kakou En realises that he’s going to hurt both her and Kakou Ton again and goes to save Kan U. As he drags her out, Kan U remains unconscious so he does mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. \o/ When Kan U regains consciousness, she realises he saved her and thanks him. Kakou En doesn’t understand why she’s saying this, since it’s all his fault in the first place. And he hates her for that hypocrisy, instead of just blaming him. Kan U answers that he isn’t at fault though. It’s alright for him to remain the way he is – someone who works hard at his training to the point of forgetting to sleep or eat. Kakou En tears up at her words, and Kan U tells him to stay in Sou Sou’s army as both Sou Sou and Kakou Ton need him. Kan U doesn’t have the energy to wipe his tears or to hug him, so she tells herself that she’ll definitely do so tomorrow and falls asleep. She wakes up next back in her room, and quickly goes to find Kakou En. She sees the Maozoku gathered outside though and learns from them that Ryuu Bi has been kidnapped by En Shou’s spies. She implores Sou Sou to let her go.
On her way there, Kan U is surprised to see what appears like shadows approaching her. She’s afraid to attack since she isn’t sure what their true identity are, perhaps they’re spirits or even youkai. Kakou En turns up here as he remarks that he finally made it in time. He tells Kan U that warriors shouldn’t be afraid of such things, though she thinks to herself that he once called them descendants of youkai. Kakou En tells her not to interfere since this is his fight and he swiftly defeats all to have one shadow left standing. They’re equally matched though and Kakou En stops it from attacking Kan U, who soon realises that its target is actually her. But Kakou En insists that she doesn’t interfere, as he recalls Kakou Ton saying that one should correct one’s own mistakes. Kakou En manages to defeat it and it disappears into thin air, as with the other shadows. But Kan U is shocked to see him fall to his knees and cough up blood despite this. As she rushes to his side, Kakou En is relieved that she’s alright.
He recalls Kakou Ton saying that the reason they went on different paths was ‘cos he didn’t understand and accept them. But now Kakou En finally understands just how hefty his mistake was, and how valuable the time he can no longer recover was. And the more he got to knew Kan U, the more painful that realisation was. His dream was to see a peaceful world unified by Sou Sou alongside Kakou Ton. That’s why he thought that he needed to follow Kakou Ton all the way on the same path, but was actually always restraining himself. Kakou En asks Kan U to listen to his last repentance, and not to leave when she wanted to get help. He wonders if someone as sinful as him can still have his wish fulfilled, and Kan U reassures him that he’ll definitely see it with Sou Sou and Kakou Ton. To her surprise, Kakou En says that she has to be together with them too. Kakou En admits that he had always been afraid of her, but now it’s different. As Kan U starts hearing a strange noise, Kakou En says that this life of his is reaching its limit even though he has lots to tell her, and to apologise for. But first, he thanks her.
Kakou En finally realised that he was on the wrong path – being stubbornly attached to Kakou Ton, fussing over his sword skills, throwing away his initial beliefs. He knew this all along but refused to admit it. If he admitted it, he was afraid that no one would need him anymore. His skills were inferior to Kan U’s, and he was afraid that if he admitted it all he would’ve lost his place. He finally understands what Kakou Ton wanted to convey to him, to the point of risking his own life. Now he can finally say it – he’s thankful to have met Kan U. Kakou En thanks Kan U once more, before disappearing before her very eyes. Suddenly, it’s as if Kan U woke up from a dream as she finds herself in the forest again. She recalls that she came here with Kakou Ton to visit Kakou En’s grave, as Kakou Ton is handling the offerings and she’s tidying up the grave. But for some reason, it’s as if she was dreaming and finds herself crying – not that she can recall what her dream was about or the reason she’s crying. But Kan U feels an indescribable pain in her, and recalls the phantom pains Kakou Ton mentioned having. She wonders if she’s feeling something similar. As she touches the gravestone, the pain seems to ease as she closes her eyes and recalls Kakou En: The scenery of Sou Sou’s path spreading and uniting the chaotic lands……if I could see that together with Anija (Kakou Ton) and you……I’m happy.
The last scene shows Kakou Ton dragging Kan U out to go to the banquet the night she defeated Ka Yuu (?). Kakou En is with them though, as he talks in a friendly manner to Kan U. Kakou Ton gets embarrassed when he realises he’s holding Kan U’s hand and lets her go. Kakou En takes her hand as they catch up with Kakou Ton, since Sou Sou called for all three of them. (The ending line by him after the credits is that the happiest thing for Kakou En is that he met Kan U, and that he’ll see her again.)
Note: If it isn’t clear, Kakou En probably received what was like a chance to travel back in the past to redeem himself – but that doesn’t change the fact that he died. That explains why he knew what was going to happen. The shadows he fought against were most likely himself and the 20 men he brought along, when he first wanted to kill Kan U. I’m guessing that the last scene is an illusion, even though he does say “see you” at the very end.
Some of the Momozono scenarios were really cute, but others were just going through the motion (ie. Chou Sen) – they’re all rather short though so it isn’t too difficult to finish everything. Ba Chou’s route was a nice surprise, he’s quite the romantic flirt. My face was all “D8” throughout En Shou’s ‘cos it was just so sad to see Kan U be influenced into thinking that she’s inferior etc. The writing was good though and I found En Shou’s point about living within own status “box” interesting. Kakou En’s was the biggest, most bittersweet surprise ever, and I didn’t expect myself to cry over it. Omg and I actually support this OT3 now, they’re adorable.
Concluding Thoughts: The battle of Jyuuzaengi lasted for a month with over 80k words, with the sacrifice of 93 pages and 6 pens. Sobs.
I need to stop being so lame. Okay I actually enjoyed the game. Like most of the past games I picked this up for Ishida but it was nice to see a colourful cast and dynamic character interaction. Though they simplified the story it was based on, it was still an interesting read and I had fun cross-referencing. I can’t say that it was epic, but some of the routes shone more than others. It has a long common route but trust me, you’ll be happy to skip over the common content since the game is still pretty lengthy. I have to thank my dear friend, Hitsuji, for recommending me the play order I played in ‘cos I think that contributed to my enjoyment. I recommend following the same order but if you don’t want to, it would still be good to play Chou Hi’s route first.
In the end I think I enjoyed Ryuu Bi and Kakou Ton’s routes the most, and in addition Kakou En’s special route. Kan U was a strong heroine, but at times she was too slow in the emotional department for me. But that got better as I progressed with each route. Anyway, I hope that there is potential for a fandisk
at least for my favourites. If not I may turn to the drama CDs instead since the scenarios look fun. | <urn:uuid:2a9d3565-5cc9-482e-bbdc-d84d1317567c> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://chocolatemix.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/jyuuzaengi-engetsu-sangokuden-extras-concluding-thoughts/ | 2017-06-22T16:36:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319636.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622161445-20170622181445-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.97792 | 10,872 | [

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life
HIGH Nailing the effect taps on any of the Axel F mixes.
LOW Finger cramps.
WTF DJ Qbert's sadistically wonderful battle.
If a game evokes an emotion from you, then it has done its job. If it evokes a positive emotion or a sense of excitement, then it has surpassed its job. Few games can both challenge the player while forcing an eye-toothed grin onto a player's face. Settling down to play DJ Hero 2, I never thought that a rhythm game would ever create that spark within me—but it did.
Players who've experienced the first game (which judging by sales figures, were few and far between) will likely have been impressed by the finger tapping, crossfading genius created in such an original title. For those who haven't played it, shame on you. What DJ Hero 2 does, is take everything that made the original so good, and make it better.
The principles of the game haven't changed at all. Players still have to mix two tracks together by crossfading the music from each and adding sound effects and scratches, like a real DJ. This is done by moving a switch left or right, tapping the red button or holding the green or blue button and moving the turntable back and forth, respectively. With this iteration, all of the aforementioned can still be performed. However, these actions have been brilliantly elevated by adding a freestyle technique. What this means is that players can create music how they want, rather than everyone being forced down the same glowing pathways.
For example, freestyle crossfading tracks can be mixed at their own rhythm. When it works after cutting lyrics in unusual places or being placed in time with the opposing beat, I felt as if I really was in control of the music. The same can be said for the freestyle scratching. A standard scratch path creates a sound fitting for each track. The freestyle path reacted to my movements—I'd move slowly and a low pitched drawl sounded, while moving swiftly gave a high-pitched squealing scratch echoing from my speakers. When I timed it right, freestyling made me feel like a rhythm genius.
While the freestyle tapping doesn't have the same wow factor, it's still a welcome addition. Rather than just tapping the red button to add effects when the path says to, players can tap at their own pace at specific times. Done correctly, it adds a depth to the mix. Most people know the synth sample from the opening of "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa. During the mix, timing the freestyle taps right will replicate the synth sample in perfect rhythm.
Rhythm games were originally intended to give the player a sense of skill and talent for a vocation that they may not try in the "real world." When real guitarists and DJs pull off a face shredding riff or a seamless mix, I imagine they feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. DJ Hero 2 manages to deliver this feeling to the player in every song by balancing the difficulty wonderfully.
Playing on medium, the game is easy enough to boost confidence but holds onto enough of the difficulty to push the player into trying harder and landing critical points in the freestyle sections. Moving up in the difficulties, of course, rewards more smiles as players learn to hit harder scratches and faster crossfades.
A standout feature besides the actual mechanics of mixing has to be the battles between the player and other DJs. These involve both sides mixing the same tracks, but trying to "outmix" the other's freestyle attempts. It's an invigorating game mode and battling the likes of DJ Qbert is staggeringly wonderful as the mix gets passed back and forth, accompanied by sound effects that bait the opponent on. As the pace quickens and fingers land with the right timing, it's nothing short of perfection. If players get tired of mixing against the AI, there are options to venture out into the online world and take on other plastic DJs around the planet.
Thankfully, for a game with a need for such perfect timing, there's no online latency whatsoever. Games are easily found, and if it seems thrilling to better the AI with perfect mixing, beating someone sitting on the other side of the world is utterly uplifting.
Try as I might, I struggled to find any downsides to DJ Hero 2. The only possible negative the average gamer might encounter would be the track list, as it obviously won't appeal to everyone. Obviously, the majority of the music revolves around the dance and Hip Hop scene. However, considering the title of the game, such a selection is to be expected.
Even if the tunes aren't all things to all players, that shouldn't hold anyone back from putting cash down and picking up one of the most original games to grace consoles for some time. DJ Hero 2 is sublime. If it suffers the same lack of sales the first game did, it'll be a crying shame.
Disclosures: This game was obtained via retail store and was reviewed on PlayStation 3. Approximately 15 hours were devoted to the single player modes, and 3 hours were spent in multiplayer modes.
Parents: According to the ESRB, this game contains lyrics and mild suggestive themes. This game is very child-friendly as there is no violence and even naughty lyrics are overdubbed with sound effects to hide said naughtiness.
Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Since this game utterly hinges on music, it's entirely unplayable to deaf players.

We can halve volume by not allowing nondevelopers to post
Several people have suggested solutions like creating debian-discuss
for nontechnical discussions, or moving some threads to -policy, or
These things are not the answer to the problem. I stated the problem
as `volume on -devel', but really the problem is that there are too
many messages in the fora that we'd like most Debian developers to
At the moment many developers don't read -devel, or read it only very
quickly, because it's too large. Splitting it won't help: instead,
there will be just two lists in the situation where -devel is now:
too much traffic to be worth reading. Splitting is only helpful if
significantly different groups of people would want to subscribe to
the two lists.
It may be that creating a new (pair of) list(s) for discussion of
problems in packages in unstable or frozen would be useful; the
traffic there is something that many people wouldn't need or want to
Trying to move things out of -devel to -policy (other than things that
-policy is currently trying to do) will just make it hard to use
-policy for what it's currently good at.
It's also not clear to me that there is a very high level of off-topic
posting. -devel has always been traditionally the "developers' forum"
- not the one "for development", and has always contained political,
organisational and other material.
However, there is an awful lot of posting, and posting begets more
postings. Particularly, emotive issues like the one about
`censorship' induce people to post whenever they have the smallest
thing to say and each article begets more responses.
Now, on to my Subject line:
Thanks to whoever it was who counted postings.
Reducing the traffic in -devel by a quarter to a third by excluding
nondeveloper postings would IMO be a clearly good thing.
However, I think the effect would be even more dramatic, because of
the effect that one posting generates more postings. If nondevelopers
didn't post, we wouldn't have developers following up to them because
they felt impelled to disagree.
Suppose we assume that every developer followup to a nondeveloper's
posting would not have been posted if the precursor hadn't been
posted, what kind of numbers do we come up with for the reducition in
volume ? It would be interesting to count the number of postings that
were from nondevelopers _or followups directly to articles by
For a rough calculation, if we neglect original articles, and assume
there is no correlation in developerness between follower-up and
followee-up, we find that (1-438/1596)^2 = 52.6% of postings remain.
Thus, neglecting third-level effect, where nondeveloper postings
cause a chain of followups two or more deep, we could HALVE the volume
in -devel merely by closing it to nondeveloper postings !
This, together with the unstable/frozen lists, might put -devel back
where nearly everyone could read it. | <urn:uuid:e0e0441e-63ec-4770-90cc-2e52be96b7d7> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1999/03/msg01819.html | 2017-06-22T17:00:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319636.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622161445-20170622181445-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.960182 | 697 | [

- We strive to provide complete care for our patients. Learn more about all the services we provide.
You are using an outdated browser. Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience.
Generally, we recommend your pet to be spayed or neutered once they are four to five months old. At this age, your pet is able to handle anesthesia better and the procedure can be performed easier and smoother to the benefit of your pet's wellness. Both animal surgery procedures consist of removing a pet's reproductive organs. Spaying removes the female pet's uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes while neutering removes the male pet's testicles. Both require anesthesia and a brief animal hospital stay.
Our veterinary clinic uses many human quality medications and we are dedicated to go above and beyond normal expectations to closely and carefully monitor your pet throughout the entire procedure. Prior to the procedure, we ensure that any medications administered are customized to accommodate what is necessarily applicable to your pet's breed, age and behavior. Our veterinarian advises pets are kept comfortable, quiet and engaged in limited activity immediately following the surgery.
One of the top benefits of spay & neuter procedures from our animal hospital is helping to control the unwanted animal population. An estimated 3.7 million unwanted animals are euthanized each year, according to the American Humane Association. Even when owners think they will be able to find suitable homes for their pets' puppies or kittens, they often cannot and the animals end up homeless. Shelter populations are huge and resources are limited. Because we are acutely aware and are concerned with the pet overpopulation in the Berkeley area, we work closely with Berkeley Animal Control and also partner with Berkeley East-Bay Humane Society to help address the issues that affect homeless pets.
Eliminating a pet's desire to breed is a major benefit of spaying or neutering a pet. Female pets in heat can not only be messy but they can also howl, scream and pace nervously around the home or yard. Male pets, looking to breed, can be more prone to running off to find a female. Our animal hospital's neutering procedure can also prevent other sexual behaviors, such as humping, male aggression and urine marking. Households with multiple pets where the male pets are neutered are typically much calmer.
Spaying or neutering at our veterinary clinic can also help ensure a pet enjoys a healthier, longer life. Female pets that are spayed before their first heat cycle have a greatly reduced risk of breast cancer and a zero risk of uterine cancer and uterine infections. Neutering a male pet eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and the risk of prostate gland enlargement while it also lessens the risk of perianal tumors.
Our Berkeley veterinarian works to make these procedures affordable. We understand that especially in this economy, it can be difficult to balance the best care for your pet with what your finances can afford. We offer two Safety and Comfort packages in addition to the surgery that make it easy for you to balance your pet's needs and your finances. While we keep the cost down for the basic spay and neuter procedures, the best care for your pet includes: pre-operative blood work to catch common organ issues that may make anesthesia dangerous, fluids to keep your pet hydrated as he or she will not be eating or drinking that day, and pain medications to take home for the days following the surgery.
Contact our veterinary clinic at 510-841-4412 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
This is a vet hospital with a heart, truly.

Phytochrome-hormonal signalling networks
Publication type : Review
Through time, plants have evolved an extraordinary ability to interpret environmental cues. One of the most reliable of these cues is light, and plants are particularly adept at sensing and translating environmental light signals. The phytochrome family of photoreceptors monitor cues such as daylength or vegetative shade and adjust development to reflect change in these parameters. Indeed, it is their ability to coordinate these complex developmental changes that underpins the remarkable success of plants. Evidence is mounting that hormones control many of these light-mediated changes. Therefore, if we are to understand how light manipulates development we need to explore the interplay between light and hormonal signalling. Toward this goal, this review highlights the known convergence points of the phytochrome and the hormonal networks and explores their interactions.

mod note (andy) NYC monkeys: Make sure to sign up for the NYC mailing list to get updates about nyc events, see the first comment inside the post
This meetup is intended as a gathering for the residents of Manhattan's exclusive, up and coming hot new neighborhood, SoPo!
I.e. anyone who lives below 34th Street and suffered power outage in the aftermath of the Wraith of Sandy. Bonus point if your building was also flooded and you were forced to relocate for a while.
Now that most of us have finally be able to get our lives back to normal, we figure that now is a good time to reminisce and reflect on what happened. This event will serve as an opportunity for us SoPo residents to commiserate with each other, celebrate our returns to civilizations, and more importantly, to stay in touch. You never know when the next storm is coming or how much damage it will do so it is nice to have a support network in place.
To help support the economic recovery of our lovely neighborhood, we will have this event at Ulysses on Stone St.
Even thou this meetup is primarily intended for SoPo residents, everyone is welcome to stop by and hang out with us if you are around. | <urn:uuid:e7327325-fbd1-4086-9106-334642f94b2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/event/sopo-meetup-dec-21st-9pm | 2017-06-24T07:04:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320227.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624064634-20170624084634-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.967148 | 257 | [

At Sheridan's Cottage, Luis and Hank sat anxiously waiting to hear what Sheridan remembered under hypnosis. As Luis was pacing back and forth to Sheridan's bedroom door, Hank told Luis, "You're wearing [your] heart on your sleeve!" Luis asked him, "What do you mean?" Hank reminded Luis about their past relationship and how Sheridan had dumped him. Hank asked Luis if he still had feelings for Sheridan and if he thought they could start all over with a clean slate.
Luis answered, "Maybe. I don't know. Right now, I don't think either one of us could commit to a relationship. That's why I never started one with Beth." Hank was getting more and more upset, telling Luis, "What about me? It's my turn to try again with Sheridan because I love her." Luis could tell Hank was jealous and smiled. Luis said, "Who knows? If Sheridan can remember something, I don't know what will happen. Maybe we can start over."
Still under hypnosis, Sheridan told Eve that she recognized who was under the sheet. Eve asked her who it was, to which Sheridan cried out, "I killed Martin Fitzgerald! Luis will hate me!" Eve calmed her down and asked her to remember what had happened after she had seen the person under the sheet.
Sheridan said she remembered hearing someone talking downstairs. She said that she'd gotten up and headed downstairs. It was dark. "Julian kept telling me I didn't see any body -- that I was just having a nightmare. When I looked back down at the floor, the body was gone!" she said softly. "They kept telling me," she continued, "that it was never there and that it was all in my mind. That's when they sent me away to Europe." Eve explained to Sheridan that sometimes things did get mixed up.
Luis was still pacing and said, "It's getting quiet in there." Hank told him, "Maybe they're getting ready to wind down." Eve calmed Sheridan and asked, "What happened after they told you you were just imagining this?" Sheridan answered, "They put me to bed and told me it would be better in the morning, but it wasn't; I was still telling them I saw the body, and that's when they sent me away." Suddenly Sheridan cried out, "I remember now. They were all lying!"
Back in the living room, Hank told Luis, "After this, she'll be ready for a relationship with me and not you." Luis replied, "I know it's against all odds, but I'll give it another try." Hank said, "Whatever she remembers, there'll be the three of us to sort this out." Sheridan told Eve, "I remember because I hid on the landing of the stairwell. I could see them carrying out the coffin with Martin Fitzgerald's body in it. I killed him?"
Eve was worried what the realization would do to Sheridan and Luis' relationship. Luis had a flashback of when Sheridan had taught him the paso doble dance and smiled when remembering kissing her. Hank asked, "You're thinking about Sheridan, aren't you?" Luis replied, "Yes, and I have a good feeling about this." Eve walked in and asked Hank and Luis to sit before she told them what Sheridan had said.
In the back yard at the Russell home, a possessed Charity asked Tabitha and Timmy, "Where is the motorcycle?" Tabitha said, "Whoever took that bike will soon be dead!" Just then, Theresa was in a horrible accident. Miguel returned from looking for his motorcycle and guessed Theresa had taken it. Miguel asked Chad and Whitney if they'd seen Theresa.
A possessed Charity told Tabitha and Timmy, "This is all your fault. I should kill you right now! Now it's not Miguel that dies, but Theresa." Tabitha said, "How was I supposed to know Theresa would take it?" Evil Charity said, "Never mind. We'll just have to come up with another plan to kill Miguel." Timmy said, "I'm going to put a stop to this right now." He jumped out of Tabitha's arms and grabbed the pendant off of Charity.
Miguel walked up and asked, "Did I just hear that doll speak? I could have sworn I heard him say something." Tabitha said, "It must have been the voice box acting up that I sewed in his belly." Miguel noticed Charity's pendant was missing and asked her about it. Charity replied, "Lately, I'm missing pieces of time." Miguel said, "Maybe it's because of those premonitions you're having."
Miguel looked at Timmy and noticed he was holding the pendant. Tabitha nervously explained, "It must have fallen onto Timmy when I was checking into my purse." Miguel took it from Timmy and saw the clasp was broken. He gave it back to Charity to be fixed. Out on the patio, Chad and Whitney were arguing. Whitney was furious at Chad and said, "If anything happens to Theresa, it's his fault."
Ethan sat quietly, remembering telling Theresa he didn't love her and Chad telling him, "What if you're making the biggest mistake of your life, marrying Gwen and not Theresa, the woman you love." Simone and Kay discussed Chad and Whitney. Kay reassured Simone she had Chad, and she needed to help Kay get Miguel. Ethan asked Chad and Whitney if he'd heard them right. Whitney told him, "You broke Theresa's heart." Chad reminded Ethan, "You're making a big mistake."
Whitney said, "Stop it! We need to find Theresa right now." Ethan told them, "I'll go look for her, and tell Gwen I'll be right back, and that's all!" Chad and Whitney continued to argue about Ethan and Gwen. Chad explained, "Sooner or later, he'll have to come to terms with his true feelings." Whitney was furious with Chad. Chad said, "I just tried to make Ethan aware, before he makes a mistake. He loves Theresa, not Gwen."
Gwen walked up and said, "I know exactly what's going on here." Chad and Whitney were shocked. Gwen thought that Chad and Whitney had fallen in love and realized Chad would hurt Simone. Whitney was stunned and walked into the house. Gwen realized Chad hadn't told Whitney he was in love with her.
Chad told Gwen, "Some people just don't want to hear it," and explained that Ethan had left to look for Theresa. Gwen hoped she was all right. Chad said, "I'm sure everything will be okay." Gwen suggested Chad put on a song for Whitney that would suggest his feelings for her. He did, and as Whitney walked out to talk to him, the phone rang. Kay jumped at the chance to send her to answer it.
Kay then told Chad she had a message from Whitney that she thought the song he'd put on was the sappiest song she'd ever heard. A sad Chad took it off, and Whitney was surprised when she walked out and heard the changed song. Kay bragged that she was good when she saw their saddened faces. Miguel wondered where Theresa was. Charity said she saw a death. Tabitha said under her breath, "She's probably spread out over three townships by now."
Theresa lay unconscious at the accident site. The man who had hit her said, "The motorcycle came out of nowhere." Witnesses called an ambulance. Ethan arrived after she was carried to the hospital. He asked the officer what had happened. The officer said, "The girl was hit head-on and wearing no helmet and has head trauma." The witness said, "It would be a miracle if she lives."
Ethan raced to the hospital, having a flashback of telling Theresa he didn't love her, and said, "Please, God, let her be all right." He arrived at the hospital, and the nurse yelled, "You can't go back there!" Ethan pulled back the curtains and saw a body covered. The nurse told him, "We did everything we could."
Appalled to see a sheet covering "Theresa's" body, an emotional Ethan berated himself for driving the girl to her death. Luis pressed Eve to reveal what Sheridan had said while she had been under hypnosis. Comforting themselves with a couple of martimmies, Tabitha and Timmy wondered what would befall them if Charity again donned the evil pendant. Later, turning to her deck of tarot cards, Tabitha showed her pint-sized companion how fate was about to take a hand with several of Harmony's most prominent citizens.
Ivy jeered at Julian for failing to ferret out her alleged secret. After Alistair phoned with an update on recent events, a panicked Julian headed out of the mansion on the double. Ethan finally realized that the corpse he'd been standing over wasn't Theresa at all. Though reluctant at first to break some disturbing news to Luis, Eve decided to tell all, but Julian interrupted and ordered everyone to leave his sister's cottage.
The Emergency Room nurse explained to Ethan that although Theresa suffered no major injuries in the crash, she had failed to regain consciousness because she'd lost the will to live. Later, Ethan whispered a declaration of love into Theresa's ear.
In Sheridan's cottage, Julian threatened Eve not to tell anyone what Sheridan had said while under hypnosis. Sheridan walked in the room and told Julian that she wanted to know about the dreams that haunted her, and she wanted Luis to know as well. Sheridan told Eve to go ahead, but Eve was afraid to tell. She knew that the information she knew would hurt Sheridan and Luis' relationship. Eve stalled and checked Sheridan's pulse.
Julian wanted to talk to Sheridan alone. Once alone, he told her that Ethan was going to be hurt, and she was destroying the family. Sheridan was set on finding out the truth. They went back into the living room. Luis pressed Julian for answers about his father's disappearance, but Julian played it cool.
Eve was about to tell when she received a beep. Eve called the number, and it was the infamous Alistair Crane. He told her that he knew everything that was going on. Eve thought he was going to try to stop her from telling the truth, but Alistair told her to tell it.
Theresa lay in the hospital bed; she had lost the will to live. Without Ethan's love, she had nothing to live for. Her pulse began to drop, Ethan thought she was dying, so he whispered to her that he loved her. Theresa's eyes fluttered open; she'd heard what Ethan had said, so she told him that she wanted him to kiss her. Ethan didn't kiss her, so she thought he was lying. She rolled over, crying that she wanted to die. Her heart stopped beating, and the nurse and doctor ran in. Ethan screamed not to let anything happen to her.
At the Russells', everyone was worried about Theresa. Miguel wondered why she had run off. Chad and Whitney finally told him the truth, that Ethan had broken her heart. Gwen walked in and asked about Ethan, and they told her about Theresa being on the motorcycle. Charity walked in and told everyone about her premonition of someone dying. They finally found out that Theresa was in the Emergency Room, and they all headed over there to be by her side.
Theresa was finally stable. Ethan told her that he loved her again and kissed her again. She told him that he was lying to make her want to live, and she said she wanted to die once again. Her pulse began to drop. Ethan grabbed her in his arms and told her that he needed her and that he loved her. He kissed her passionately. Gwen and Miguel walked in just in time to see the liplock.
Eve was pleasantly surprised when Alistair phoned and advised the doctor that it was time to reveal everything Sheridan had said under hypnosis. Devastated to walk in on her fiancé‚ kissing an unconscious Theresa and murmuring declarations of undying love, Gwen bolted from the Emergency Room treatment bay. As Sheridan listened uneasily, Luis promised Julian that if the Cranes killed Martin Fitzgerald, he would show Harmony's most "illustrious" family no mercy.
Though a flustered Ethan started to go after Gwen, Theresa awakened and asked him to stay with her. Hank suggested to Luis that learning the truth about her past might destroy Sheridan rather than save her. Chad assured a worried Whitney that things would go better for Ethan and Theresa, since the cat was finally out of the bag.
Alistair told Eve he was fully prepared to accept the consequences when the world learned what his family had done. Luis shyly admitted to Sheridan that he respected her and hoped she would always be a part of his life. Alistair dropped the other shoe at last, icily warning Eve that her precious family would suffer terribly once her own past sins were unveiled. Ethan was flabbergasted when Gwen commended him for his heroics in lying to Theresa in order to restore her will to live.
Chad and Whitney bickered about the validity of Ethan's declaration of love to Theresa. Meanwhile, Ethan kept mum when Gwen laughed to think that anyone could take his "love" for the housekeeper's daughter seriously. Pilar rushed to the hospital, where Whitney explained how Theresa had been injured and how Ethan had given her back her will to live.
Eve bitterly informed Julian that she wouldn't be deterred from her decision to reveal Sheridan's secret. Rebecca warned her irked daughter that Theresa would never stop until she'd stolen the Crane heir right out from under Gwen's nose. Pilar trembled to think how the rich and powerful Cranes would destroy both Theresa and Luis if Ethan dumped Gwen for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
Sheridan told Luis and Eve she remembered wielding a letter opener just before she'd found blood all over her hands. Ethan admitted to Chad that he loved both Theresa and Gwen, although in different ways. A fuming Rebecca faced off with an equally angry Pilar in the Emergency Room waiting room. | <urn:uuid:79c858f7-9af8-40a0-b513-a397c6ce41c5> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://soapcentral.com/ps/recaps/2000/000828.php | 2017-06-25T02:01:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320386.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625013851-20170625033851-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.990126 | 2,966 | [

What Makes a Good Geneticist?
Hello, I am currently a senior in high school, and I`m really interested in genetics and possibly going to pursue higher education in that field. Since you are no doubt a busy and important man, I am just going to ask you one question: What types of character traits can make a good geneticist, and which character traits can prevent someone from being a good geneticist?
Thank you for your time.
There are a variety of people who work in the field of genetics; some are basic researchers who work at universities teaching and doing basic research on genetics; some work in clinical laboratories supervising clinical testing; some work in biotech industries; and some are clinical medical geneticists who work primarily with genetics as it influences human health. Each will have slightly different qualities that fit best with their professions. Some will require strict attention to detail, some will require the ability to work with people in challenging health situations, and some will require the ability to think about things in new ways. All will require a basic curiosity about why biological processes happen the way they do, and what other intrinsic factors influence these processes. Listed below are some websites that you might find helpful in learning more about genetics.

Jatijajar Cave Kebumen
Hi my beloved reader, how are today? Well, in this occasion, I will share one of recreation place should be visited when we are having leisure time, especially in holiday. The place I mean is Jatijajar Cave Kebumen. (also read : Recreation to Maharani Cave)
Below is a brief information about Jatijajar Cave Kebumen.
Jatijajar cave is one of attractive recreation place in Central Java. This cave is a tourist place in the form of a natural cave and it is formed of limestone. It’s length from the entrance up to the exit area is about 250 meters. The average width of this cave is 15 meters and the average height is 12 meters, while the thickness of the ceiling on average is10 meters. This cave is about 50 meters above from sea level.
Jatijajar Cave is located in Jatijajar village, the sub-district of Ayah, in the region of Kebumen Regency, Central Java Province. The distance of the cave is about 45 km from the city of Kebumen. So we can get the cave from Kebumen regency about an hour.
It is not difficult to get to Jatijajar cave. Visitors do not need to be confused to get there. Therefore, the location can be easily achieved. Visitors can use private vehicles or public transportation. If visitors want to use public transport, visitors simply ride the public bus from Kebumen to Gombong, and from Gombong station to Jatijajar cave. Jatijajar cave is located about 21 km western of Gombong.
According to the history, this cave was discovered by a farmer who owns the land above the cave. His name was “Jayamenawi” . At that time, he was cutting the grass on his land. Suddenly he fell down to a hole. After he stood at the hole, he looked around it and there was a ventilation hole in the cave ceiling. This hole had a diameter of 4 meters and a height of land below of the ventilation was about 24 meters. Because in front of the entrance of the cave there were two “JATI SEJAJAR” (in row teaks) trees, so this cave was called “JATIJAJAR CAVE”.
Jatijajar Cave began to be built and developed as a tourist attraction in 1975. The initiators of it was Suparjo Rustam, who is a former governor of Central Java. While the implementer of the project was the construction of Jatijajar cave, that was CV. AIS from Yogyakarta, led by Mr. Saptoto, an artist of diorama was also well known in the homeland. After Jatijajar cave grown up, the management of this cave has been done by the Regional Government of Kebumen regency.
In front of the cave of Jatijajar, there is a statue of a dinosaur as an important symbol of this cave. Visitors who enter the cave will automatically pass the mouth of the dinosaur statue. This statue expels out of water, as the estuary of the springs that exist in the cave, which is from the Spring (river) Kantil and Spring Rose. The water is believed not to be discharged, even though in dry weather condition. This water is used by people around Jatijajar cave as irrigating their rice fields.
When visitors enter to the cave, they will see beautiful amazing scenery around the cave. Inside the room of Jatijajar cave is illuminated with lots of lights along the way of it so the visitors do not have to be afraid about the lighting conditions there. On the ceiling of the cave there is a hole for cave ventilation. In the middle of the room there is a circular seat that can be used as seats of visitors who want to rest, as they look around the room in the cave.
Jatijajar cave visitors can enjoy the ornaments of stalactites, stalagmites, and quite fascinating limestone pillars. In addition to the cave scenery is quite beautiful. The visitors also will be presented by eight dioramas installed, plus the presence of 32 statues. The Statues in this cave tells the story of Raden Kamandaka, which well known as the Legend of Kasarung monkey. It is said that this cave was once a hermitage Raden Kamandaka, the prince of Padjadjaran King, to get “wangsit” (divine inspiration).
After enjoying the statues, Visitors can then go down the stairs in a manner which is part of the tail of a dinosaur statue. In the basement there are several underground rivers (springs)which are still active. The rivers are ones of the privileges of Jatijajar cave. There are four springs (however, according to other sources there are seven springs, but the data can be obtained only four springs), namely Rose Spring, Kantil Spring, Jombor Spring, and Puser Bumi Spring.
The accommodation and Other Facilities of Jatijajar cave tourism will not make us disappointed because in the area of Jatijajar cave there are numerous accommodation such as hotels and homestays, restaurants and other stalls. There are also a number of souvenir shops. The complex Area Tourism of Jatijajar cave there is a garden that can be used as a playground and family park. This park is called Monkey Island as indeed there are many statues of monkeys in it.
After having information about Jatijajar Cave Kebumen, why don’t you plan going there when you have time in holiday? Let’s go there for refreshing.
That’s all our article about Jatijajar Cave Kebumen we can share. Hopefully it can be an information for us about recreation place in Central Java, especially in Kebumen Regency.

Their is no one magic bullet cure/approach to migraine headaches. Your body is a complicated system and migraines are a complicated diagnosis. Thankfully their is also a large amount of internal intelligence built into the human body, which tends to push function towards normal. However when your in the middle of a full blown migraine attack you won’t think their is much intelligence involved. But its there, and you usually only have to fix a percentage of the ‘dysfunctional’ weak links in the migraine chain for things to improve. You have probably already addressed a few by yourself over the years.
In this blog I will mainly address the spinal/structural weak links in the migraine chain. This is an incredibly important one, and if it hasn’t been addressed to date this is exciting, because their is a potential for some good relief available.
How the adjusting helps the vascular aspect of Migraines:
One interesting area of resent research is with atlas vertebrae mis-alignments. This can cause a compression of the internal jugular vein (IJV) against the styloid process. Mandolesi S et al, Ann Ital Chir 2015 May-Jun;86(3):192-200 This potentially causes a backup of old de-oxygenated and glucose depleted blood, back up into the brain on that side. This negatively affects the vascular system up into the brain, and raises the importance of correcting abnormal upper neck function.
This shows the a higher percentage of increased secondary venous drainage (collateral flow) in Migraine patients, accompanied by and lower jugular flow when compared to controls. Koerte et al. Invest Radiol. 2011 Jul;46(7):434-40. (B and D are the migraine group, which shows reduced internal jugular flow (blue line), and increased collateral circulation (purple line). This is highly suggestive of internal jugular compression, for which, atlas mis-alignment is a major cause.
In an Italian study decompressive atlas adjusting was found to cause a whopping 82% increase in internal jugular flow. Ricci D et al, Ann. Ital. Chir., 2015 86: 192-200
How Stress factors relate to Migraines:
Migraine headaches are different to tension or spinal type headaches. There is a much bigger vascular component to them and genetic factors are more important, stress factors less important. In fact migraine sufferers tend to be what we call parasympathetic dominant, which is the opposite of stress (which is sympathetic dominant). You probably vaguely remember from high school biology that the autonomic nervous system – the part of our nervous system not under our conscious control – is broken up into two parts, mirror images of each other: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system. One basically increases function, the other decreases it. The balance between the two is usually an inheritable trait of your nerve system, and while it can be modified, more directs how you treat the spine.
Migraine sufferers can however show a stress response at certain stages of an attack. One thing that is quite helpful is a heart rate variability test. This gives us an indication of whether you are actually stressed (sympathetic dominant), and have a stress or tension headache, or (parasympathetic dominant) and more likely to be a true migraine headache. If the person is parasympathetic dominant manipulative (clicking) adjusting isn’t usually as helpful (while we are improving the spinal alignment and movement, we end up over stimulating the parasympathetics further), and I usually adjust them with gentle instrument adjusting. If they are sympathetic dominant, this latter consideration isn’t an issue and a gentle manipulative style is usually preferred. The key point, is making sure the right specific technique is used for the particular persons nerve system and spinal alignment.
Aside from pain/comfort considerations, everything needs to be explored to reduce the frequency and severity of the migraines because it has been shown that they can negatively affect the brain over time.
“The longer the individual has had Chronic Pain, the greater the gray matter loss, with each year of chronic pain being equivalent to 9.5 times the loss seen in normal aging”. McGill University. Center for Research from The Journal of Neuroscience. Because of this I would also recommend turmeric supplements over time, as these have been shown to improve brain stem cell production (limits gray matter loss). Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine in Julich, Germany. Stem Cell Research & Therapy
In summation no approach is a guaranteed cure-all, the main point of the adjusting is to improve the spinal and structural components of the body in a way that is helpful in reducing the migraines. A trial approach is often suggested, giving enough time to see improvement.
- 22% of participants reported more than a 90% reduction of migraines as a consequence of the 2 months of SMT. Approximately 50% more participants reported significant improvement in the severity of each episode. “Journal of manipulative and physiological therapeutics.”J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2000 Feb;23(2):91-5.
A randomized controlled trial of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy for migraine.
- SMT appears to have a better effect than massage for cervicogenic headache. It also appears that SMT has an effect comparable to commonly used first-line prophylactic prescription medications for tension-type headache and migraine headache. Efficacy of spinal manipulation for chronic headache: a systematic review. Bronfort et al. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2001 Sep;24(7):457-66.
- The reduction in headache index scores during treatment compared with baseline was 49% for amitriptyline, 40% for spinal manipulation. During the post treatment follow-up period the reduction from baseline was 24% for amitriptyline, 42% for Chiropractic adjusting (57% more effective than amitriptyline). The efficacy of spinal manipulation, amitriptyline and the combination of both therapies for the prophylaxis of migraine headache. Nelson C et al, J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 1998 Oct;21(8):511-9.
- The initial 32 participants showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in migraine frequency, VAS, disability, and medication use, when compared to initial baseline levels.

Britain has voted to leave the EU – although the results have not been formally announced, it is now mathematically impossible for Remain to win. There’s going to be a lot of talk now about “invoking Article 50”.
Article is the word used to refer to a section of a treaty, a written, legally-binding agreement between states.
Here is why Article 50 is important.
What is Article 50?
Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is the official method whereby Britain can start the process of leaving the EU.
The article states that any member state of the EU can leave the bloc “in accordance with its own constitutional requirements”.
That is, we can leave the EU according to our own laws.
So what actually happens?
Now that Britain has voted to leave the EU, Article 50 must be invoked. Britain must notify the European Council of its intention to leave and begin negotiations with other member states for its withdrawal.
After notifying the Council, Britain has a two-year window to complete negotiations over its terms of exit, unless a decision is made to extend the time period.
When will Article 50 be triggered?
It is up to Prime Minister David Cameron to decide when to invoke Article 50.
Tory MP Liam Fox has called for a “period of calm” and reflection before starting the process. The architects of Britain’s EU departure believe it will take until 2020 to finalise the structure – including the relationship with the Single Union – under which Brexit will take place.
Is there any going back?
Nope. Once Article 50 is activated, the only way for Britain to re-enter the EU, through Article 49, is if all other member states give their consent.
Is Article 50 the only way to leave the EU?
There are differing opinions over this.
Kenneth Armstrong, a professor of European Law at the University of Cambridge, says Article 50 is the only legal way for Britain to leave the EU.
But Conservative MP Andrea Leadsom points out: “When Greenland left the EU article 50 didn’t exist.”
There are alternative methods for Britain to leave the bloc, through separate negotiations, she says.
“It’s perfectly possible to have a bilateral agreement with the European Union and to make different arrangements.” | <urn:uuid:b28f85c1-6cba-4e81-b7c8-2f59956a46b3> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.scotsman.com/news/article-50-explained-and-how-it-enables-britain-to-leave-the-eu-1-4162676 | 2017-06-26T16:13:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320823.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626152050-20170626172050-00519.warc.gz | en | 0.94902 | 485 | [

1) So I can’t be bothered with cartilage piercings and how long they take to heal (not being able to sleep on my side in bed? No thank you) but this is almost enough to make me reconsider.
2) Okay, I think I need to buy my dogs bow ties.
3) THE most perfect spring nail polish.

God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins
I first tried to read God Delusion a few years back. About 50 pages in I thought, why am I reading this, I’m in his camp anyway? Years later I realised just how stupid that was; as if possibly changing my mind was the only reason to read a book.
Delusion did feel very dry to begin with, but is well-written, intelligent, and Dawkins’ arguments are clear and easily understood. His writing picks up around 250 pages in; you can almost see his anger, the steam rising from his nostrils, as he expresses outrage at religious rituals, and the blatantly bad thinking of some religious figures. Dawkins tells an old tale of a child who, unknowingly to his Jewish parents, was baptised by his 14-year old nanny. The child was then taken from them by the Catholic church, as the child was now considered Christian. Somehow, this was a perfectly acceptable and legal act, and the church couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. At this point in the book I imagined Dawkins’ face screwing up in anger, his keystrokes getting steadily more forceful.
Dropping the tone a good few notches, this book is a collection of ‘pop culture’ articles. There are stories on Star Wars, Saved By The Bell, and serial killers. I’d read a few Klosterman articles on grantland.comand enjoyed them all. He had impressed me on the Bill Simmons podcast about the ending of Lost, setting the fool Simmons right on a number of points and over-analysing a lot.Between me ordering this book and starting to read it I read some criticism of Chuck. I tried to not let one writer cloud my impressions of another, but some of the comments rang true, even in my limited experience of Klosterman. Sure enough, when I started reading Cocoa Puffs I saw the accuracy of some of those criticisms.
Chuck overuses the reversal in his writing, the way Scoop Jackson used to do when he was relevant. Scoop would so regularly use something like:
“…and that’s it, that’s all there is. But it’s not”
Klosterman often uses something along the lines of:
“…so really it means nothing. But it really means everything”
Chuck’s country, everyman image comes off as a little forced at times, like he’s writing stuff that doesn’t belong in order to maintain that impression. Part of the fun of his work, and really of most who write about pop culture, is that they analyse things that most of us just accept. His best moments are when does this, but sometimes it feels a little try-hard, as if he knows that this over-analysis is the name of the game (which it kind of is). Cocoa Puffs would be more enjoyable if he could at least hide this need a bit better. His article on creating himself in The Sims reeks of a desperation to write of something more than simply The Sims. If that even makes sense.
Reading this back, I do come across as quite critical of the book. Yet I enjoyed it. It just felt somewhat false at times, enough that I don’t have much of an urge to read more of his work. | <urn:uuid:7334fe73-8b5f-4e00-bb57-9d9f33139d2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://raymondthewilliams.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/books-with-words-in-them/ | 2017-06-28T05:21:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322870.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628050821-20170628070821-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.978467 | 702 | [

First Generation Second Generation
Rodger T. Jones Robert L. Jones Laurens P. and Nancy B. Jones
“Our Family Serving Your Family”
Third Generation Fourth Generation
Donald K. Jones Jacqueline Fleming Daniel K. Jones Darrin K. Jones
Since 1922 the name Jones has been synonymous with trust, caring, and personal service. The Jones family has served Winchester and Frederick County since April of that year when Roger T. Jones and his brother Robert L. Jones, both having worked for the former Kurtz Funeral Home and Furniture Company, began a funeral business known as R.T. Jones & Company. It was their dream to create a family funeral home that reflected their love, care, and strong sense of service for their community, a community of which the Jones family has been members for almost 200 years.
125 S. Loudoun Street East Side S. Loudoun Street
The funeral home was originally located on the East side of South Loudoun Street, but shortly thereafter moved across the street to 125 South Loudoun St. At that time the business was small and the two brothers built, repaired, refinished, and sold furniture and antiques as a source of additional income. As the business slowly grew, Laurens P. Jones, the second son of Robert Jones, began working for the Company while a student at Handley High School. His father and uncle fostered Laurens’ friendly spirit and calling for community service and he became enthralled by the sense of satisfaction he received from helping others. After graduation, Laurens served his apprenticeship, attended the Cincinnati College of Embalming and joined the Company full time. He received his Virginia Embalmers and Funeral Directors License in 1930.
Roger Jones’ health began to fail and in 1937 he sold his interest in the business to his nephew, Laurens. The father and son, now partners, changed the name of the firm to Jones Funeral Home. The next year they purchased the house at 302 South Loudoun Street, moved the funeral business, discontinued selling furniture, and devoted themselves entirely to funeral service.
Original Building After Additions
302 S. Loudoun Street 302 S. Loudoun Street
During the ensuing years Laurens brought his wife Nancy into the business and together the Jones’ saw their commitment to serving the families of their community translate into growth and expansion. The original building was enlarged several times: a four car garage and a casket selection room were added in 1948; a 250 seat chapel was added in 1955; and a three story building consisting of a storage basement, a two car garage, a family room, an enlarged preparation room, and a staff room and apartment was added in 1963.
The Jones Funeral Home was incorporated February 12, 1953. Several years later, in March 1955, Robert Jones retired and transferred his interest in the business to his son Laurens. As years passed, the family’s values and commitment to service were instilled in their children and the ownership and management expanded as the third generation of Jones’ joined the business. Donald K. Jones followed in his father Laurens’ footsteps and served his apprenticeship, attended the Cincinnati College of Embalming and joined the Company full time. Later, Laurens’ son-in-law, James H. Fleming, also joined the family business.
The family constantly strove to improve their services and facilities to better serve the community. During the late 1960's they purchased several adjoining properties to provide additional off street funeral parking, and increased visitation space by moving offices and storage into existing garage space, and building a new garage building.
During the 1970’s Laurens transferred ownership of the funeral home to Donald Jones and Jim Fleming. The funeral business continued to thrive. Donald and Jim determined that the existing building had become insufficient to provide the level of service and facilities that they believed their community deserved. They began the process of acquiring property and building a new facility. The new funeral home at 228 South Pleasant Valley Road was completed and formally opened on August 15, 1980.
The community showed its appreciation and trust and business continued to increase. A crematory was installed in 1987 allowing the funeral home to do all its own cremations on site, thus ensuring that families desiring cremation received the trusted quality service they have come to expect from the Jones’. The new facility was expanded in 1993 and several business offices, another reception area, and a cremation urn display room were added.
The facilities were further expanded in 1994 with the purchase of the Stephens Cit.y Funeral Home at 5485 Mulberry Street, Stephens City, Virginia
Jones Funeral Home – Stephens City Chapel
Continuing the family tradition, the fourth generation of Jones’ entered community service as Daniel K. Jones joined the family business and began his apprenticeship. Daniel attended the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science and became a licensed Funeral Director in 1997. Following the death of Donald Jones in 1996, his widow, M. Stephanie owner and his oldest son Darrin K. Jones returned to Winchester to answer the family calling to service. Darrin joined his mother and brother in the business and became a licensed Jones became the primary funeral director in 1999. Now, the funeral business founded 80 years and four generations ago by two Jones brothers is once again in the hands of two Jones brothers.

The rural area is changing its face to meet today's demands for beach front property.
Vance Millender, owner of Millender and Sons Seafood, says, “we're hanging in there; gonna stay as long as we can.”
Vance Millender owns the last surviving shrimp house in Carrabelle, Florida. The rest have been crowded out by condominiums and slow business, but Millender's and Sons refuses to budge for now.
Vance Millender says, “There's gonna be pressure to sell because I'll be surrounded by condos.”
And the longer he waits, the more he makes. That's what happened to his neighbors.
Millender says C-Quarters Marina recently sold out to developers in the tune of $20 million, and remember Julia Mae's restaurant? Today it's home to a 2,600 square foot docominium, a fancy new term for boat docks.
It’s progress that's occurring across the forgotten coast.
Cheryl Sanders, Franklin County Commissioner, says, “We're going through a metamorphisstage; we try and see where we want to grow.”
Explosive growth is the catch phrase, one that's sparking debates.
Dan Tonsmeire, Apalachicola River keeper, says, “We have had over 1,000 properties approved, and now another 3,700 sent to state for approval.”
Those whose mission is to protect the bay say that's too much density too fast, while others who own property are cashing in.
Bud Dorrier, a Lanark Village resident, says, “I just sold my apartment that would have went for $5,000 and now it sold for $50,000.”
Currently Prudential Resort Realty has postings for homes like the ones in Eastpoint, a two bedroom, two bath valued at three quarters of a million dollars! Compare that number to another beachside beauty. It's over $3 million! Both values have locals torn between staying or selling.
Jim Sullivan, a Carrabelle resident, says, “Well, if they offer enough money I'm not averse to taking it and move somewhere else.”
Should they stay or should they go?
It all comes down to this: when small town traditions meet new wave development they're bound to encounter choppy waters the struggle is unavoidable. The questions is how will the two coincide? Only time will tell.
While county leaders say growth along the coast is under control, some citizen organizations disagree. For instance, the Panhandle Citizens Coalition says the county's growth is "out of control" and it could begin litigation. | <urn:uuid:8fdcb222-429b-47a1-8cc0-5ff2a4ee49ce> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/1555941.html | 2017-06-22T18:33:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319688.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622181155-20170622201155-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.955089 | 563 | [

Griffin Toronjo Pivateau (Okla. St. Business) has just posted on SSRN his article Private Resolution of Public Disputes: Employment, Arbitration, and the Statutory Cause of Action (forthcoming Pace L. Rev.). Here's a summary:
I wrote this paper in response to the Supreme Court's decision in Rent-A-Center v. Jackson. The aspect of that decision that most struck me was the Court's continued insistence on viewing arbitration in employment through a contractual perspective ("the employee made a deal and should stick to it"). This struck me as disingenuous. There are numerous aspects of the employment relationship that are not subject to contract -- wages, hours, workplace safety, antidiscrimination laws. So why then, for arbitration, a slavish devotion to contract principles?
The "simple" answer to this question, of course, is Section 2 of the FAA, which provides that arbitration agreements are "...valid, irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist ... for the revocation of any contract." But that doesn't answer the question of why this statutory provision is interpreted as overriding subsequent statutory provisions which, for example, grant a jury-trial right to Title VII plaintiffs. | <urn:uuid:6cb606fe-d309-42df-afd4-d67179c0ec41> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/laborprof_blog/2011/11/pivateau-on-the-arbitration-of-statutory-claims.html | 2017-06-23T14:17:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320063.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623133357-20170623153357-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.933144 | 259 | [

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has decried Budapest's plans to build a fence to stop migrants from crossing into the EU country. Serbia is expected to discuss Hungary's decision with its EU partners.
Hungary's announcement tobuild a four-meter-high (13 feet) fence
on its southern border with Serbia was met with stark criticism from the Balkan country's prime minister.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he was "surprised and shocked" by Budapest's plans to curb the influx of migrants crossing the Hungarian-Serbian border.
"Building walls is not the solution. Serbia can't be responsible for the situation created by the migrants, we are just a transit country. Is Serbia responsible for the crisis in Syria?" the prime minister said.
Hungary has experienced a significant jump in refugees applying for asylum, reaching some 43,000 in 2014, up from 2,150 in 2012. Since January, around 54,000 migrants have entered the EU country, with more than 70 percent fleeing war in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
'Walls' not a solution
However, Vucic said that building a wall is not the answer to curbing the influx of migrants.
"Serbia will not build walls, it will not isolate itself, I do not understand this decision and I intend to talk about the issue with our European Union partners," Vucic said.
"We give them assistance and food, but these people do not want to stay in Serbia, they are passing through," the prime minister added, referring to the migrants.
Hungary's announcement comes amid an unprecedented influx of economic migrants and refugees into the EU, whether traveling over land through the Balkans or by sea across the Mediterranean.
Many of the migrants head towards Germany and Sweden, which has taken in the highest number of refugees this year.

We don’t have a freezer in our new place yet, so when I moved out of my apartment recently we had a bunch of food, including a whole ham, that needed to be eaten. This seemed like the perfect excuse to have an afternoon potluck, and thus Hamapalooza was born! It was a perfect, sunny summer afternoon full of good friends and family, food, beer and laughter. The evening light was amazing and I captured a few images that I really like, so I thought I’d share. Enjoy! | <urn:uuid:73f9f2d2-f382-4cdf-9788-e79f6269bdbc> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://rootsandwingsjewelry.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/hamapalooza-2012/ | 2017-06-25T03:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320395.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625032210-20170625052210-00639.warc.gz | en | 0.987574 | 112 | [

I was up all night just sick to my stomach at the idea of taking Nathan back to day treatment. It was such a flashback to three years ago when we did this. I really wish this was not the route we had to go, but know it is our only option at this point.
Day 1 of day treatment was not the best. Nathan did not want to go, but with the help of the nurses was able to go in. We met with the intake person and I was asked to come back at 11 to meet with the team. We discussed our goals and talked about Batten. I let them know my main concern was that they understood his disease so they could better help him. The next concerns were him to stop hurting himself and stop screaming. If we can get these behaviors under control, there will be more peace in our house. This has been so hard on all of us. Madison does not have any 13 year old normalcy and it breaks my heart. Nathan is not a happy 11 year old and that kills me. I don’t think Jay and I even know what normal is anymore.
After meeting with the team, I was in the hall and could hear him screaming for me that he wanted to go home. It breaks my heart, but we are hopeful that this will help. I waited at the hospital until 2:30 and picked him up. He was very agitated the whole way home. This will definitely take some adjustment.
Our wonderful community has organized meals for us. They have been such an amazing support for us. Since Jay and I both work, getting him to and from day treatment, working and getting dinner on the table is going to be a huge task. We cannot express how much we appreciate everything everyone has done or even offered to do. It really means the world to us during this difficult time.
I will keep everyone posted as they days go on. Thank you for all your love and support.

Pakistani police say the leader of a banned Sunni Muslim militant group was shot dead Monday during an attack in the south.
Officials say gunmen killed Ali Sher Haideri and one of his companions
as they were driving in Sindh province, northeast of Karachi. One of
the attackers was also killed when Haideri's guards returned fire.
The slain leader headed Sipah-e-Sahaba, a Sunni extremist group blamed for attacks against Pakistan's minority Shi'ites.
Police said Haideri's killing appeared to be related to a personal
dispute - not sectarian violence. But that did not stop sectarian
rioting from erupting afterward. Police in Karachi say angry mobs
burned a bus and another vehicle.
In a separate incident Monday, a bomb planted in a truck killed at
least six people at a fuel station in the northwestern town of
Charsada, near Peshawar.
Police say the bomb was hidden in a package marked "medicine" that was
given to the vehicle's driver to deliver to a nearby village. The
Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Officials say two women and three children were among the dead.
Pakistan banned Sipah-e-Sahaba in 2002 after joining the U.S.-led fight
against terrorism following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the

URGENT: Lawsuit to be filed to block 21 Egyptian blogs
The head of the very same Court imprisoned blogger Kareem Soliman will be appealing to next week is launching a lawsuit to get 21 blogs and websites blocked in Egypt. Un-f#$%g-believable:
Rumors have been reaching me for days now, and I received confirmation only today from lawyer Gamal Eid, executive manager of Arabic Network for Human Rights Information.Follow this story as it develops at Arabawy, where the full email is posted. This is the most serious development against bloggers to take place in Egypt, and if a court rules in favor of the lawsuit it will not only be difficult to overturn but also encourage more lawyers to make a name for themselves by filing lawsuits against other sites. As Amr says:
It seems that Judge Abdel Fattah Morad, head of Alexandria Appeal Court, has started a lawsuit against the government in Egypt’s Administrative Courts in order to block a number of Egyptian websites. The list, 21-websites-long, includes the blogs and sites that took part in the discussion around the book the Judge has written, and the wide plagiarism evident in the book copying HRInfo’s report on Internet Freedoms in the Arab World, and a how-to-blog guide written by blogger Bent Masreya.
Of the 21 blogs and website, I was able so far to confirm Kifaya’s and HRInfo’s websites, in addition to the blogs of Bent Masreya, Yehia Megahed, and my own.
The lawsuit is started by Abdel Fattah Mourad, one of Egypt’s most senior judges–and head of the Alexandria Appeal Court, where imprisoned blogger Abdul Kareem Nabil Soliman’s case is heard next week.
What worries me, however, is that this is a judge whose ruling cannot be appealed. He can silence, imprison or execute people, and he oversees our elections.
Once the blogs are found offensive by the court, then in light of the Egyptian’s regime reputation, it is automatic to prosecute the bloggers. This is an early warning. | <urn:uuid:af92fc48-cc16-4064-8e05-b50bf372f42e> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://arabist.net/blog/2007/3/8/urgent-lawsuit-to-be-filed-to-block-21-egyptian-blogs.html | 2017-06-25T22:39:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320593.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625221343-20170626001343-00719.warc.gz | en | 0.964309 | 449 | [

MinChan Kim came out on top in Busan, South Korea and was crowned the winner of the GiGA World Masters a few weekends back. BanniUK represented Europe’s Tornado XBlades as they faced off against Korea’s Team KT.
A dual event hosted by IDRA and Korea Drone Racing Association (KDRA) the event also included an introduction to drone racing and an opportunity for local attendees to try it out for themselves. Third Law Sports followed up with a chat with IDRA Founder Justin Haggerty and victor MinChan Kim to see how it all went down.
Third Law Sports: How did the partnership with KDRA come about, and what was is Korea’s drone racing scene like?
Justin: We met James Kang, the founder of KDRA and Asia Drone Racing Organization (ADRO), while working on the World Drone Prix in Dubai. The drone racing scene in Korea, much like professional gaming, is fantastic and has a lot of potential. We wanted to work with KDRA to make Korea one of the leaders in drone racing, and help promote Korean races to the international community.
Over the two days of racing, the GiGA World Masters enjoyed nearly fifty thousand spectators on Haeundae Beach. It was a constant flow; some staying several hours to watch the competition.
Media distribution for the GiGA World Masters was also a great success. From online content, the GiGA World Masters reached 1.4 million viewers within a week after the event.
Third Law Sports: How did the locals take to drone racing lessons? How well received was this educational ‘give it a go yourself’ element?
Justin: Education is a major mission of both IDRA and KDRA. The best way to develop knowledgeable and involved fans is by providing the opportunity for spectators to learn how to fly (both safely and legally), where to find local organizations, and about the technologies behind the products.
‘Give it a go yourself’ was well received by the spectators. Many people are extremely interested in drone racing, but don’t know how to get involved.
Third Law Sports: MinChan was the victor in a battle between two of the sport’s youngest and best known pilots…how was the showdown?
Justin: The showdown was exciting! We can’t wait to see Team GiGA5 and Team Tornado XBlades at another race. Hopefully, the competition between MinChan Kim and Luke Bannister will get more teenagers involved in drone racing.
Third Law Sports: You mentioned pre-event that it would be the first in drone racing to be broadcast in HD. Any issues?
Justin: The Connex HD Prosight worked great! Some pilots had some issues with it during practice, but we were able to work out the kinks. Not all of the pilots had flown with it before.
We also brought the systems to Shanghai and the D1 Asia Cup to help promote the hardware and HD broadcasting for drone racing.
MinChan also provided Third Law Sports with some comment after his win. He said, “The course was great fun! I started out with RC Helicopters at age 4, and it was only earlier this year in January that I started drone racing.”
“The life of a drone racing pilot is a busy one with events all over the world. My current goal is to win in Hawaii in October!” | <urn:uuid:a22da3b6-bbd0-4496-a03b-0871a356fce1> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://thirdlawsports.com/2016/08/29/minchan-kim-justin-haggerty-post-giga/ | 2017-06-26T18:53:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320863.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626184725-20170626204725-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.975072 | 707 | [

Microsoft will hold its first event of 2015 in three days, focused on the consumer edition of Windows 10.
Windows will incorporate all of Microsoft's major platforms: mobile, tablet and PC in 2015. The software giant plans to bring Windows 10 to all three, removing Windows RT and Windows Phone.
The creation of one operating system will allow developers to create one app, rather than three, for Windows 10. Microsoft has not detailed how this will work without automatic screen-size detection to avoid stretching.
Having Windows 10 run on mobile and tablets should bring more developer interest, considering Microsoft still has hundreds of millions of active users on PC. Apps built for Windows 10 will integrate with features like the Start Menu, a returning feature to Windows 10.
One of the most exciting potential features coming to Windows 10 is Xbox Games, Microsoft's reformed push into gaming on PC. Even though gamers might not trust Microsoft after the disaster of "Games for Windows Live", this new approach might bring Xbox One exclusives over to PC.
Most Xbox One exclusives from early 2014 have appeared on PC already, including Ryse: Son of Rome, Titanfall, and Dead Rising 3. It would not be a surprise if Sunset Overdrive and other "Xbox exclusives" arrive on this new app for Windows 10.
Windows 10 Cortana
Microsoft will bring its virtual assistant to desktop in Windows 10, after a year on Windows Phone. The leaked 'Build 9901' showed Cortana's interface next to the home button on Windows' task-bar.
The usefulness of Cortana on desktop is questionable, considering it is mostly used for location and search. For laptop or tablet owners, it might be a welcomed feature, but for PC owners the only relevant feature is notifications.
For big fans of Windows, cross-compatibility will undoubtedly become easier on Windows 10, due to three platforms sharing one operating system.
Users should be able to save a document on mobile and have it auto-load on desktop. Microsoft might also make it possible to call and SMS text on desktop, similar to Apple's Continuity functionality on Mac OS X. | <urn:uuid:69f8551f-d64b-4a85-8a32-daa8a1dc215e> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.itproportal.com/2015/01/19/expect-see-microsofts-windows-10-event/ | 2017-06-26T19:11:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320863.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626184725-20170626204725-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.889064 | 426 | [

Today’s program pays tribute to the countless men and women who have served in the US Armed Forces from our Revolutionary past through Iraq and Afghanistan. First observed at the close of World War 1 on November 11, 1919, Veterans Day is the public recognition of honoring those who served their country in times of peace and war.
Joining us on today’s show is Vietnam Veteran Haywood Fennell, Sr. a multi-talented community leader in the Boston area. He will share his own personal military story and will discuss the upcoming African American Art Exhibit and upcoming opening of the Veterans Education and Research Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
We’ll also pay tribute to the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, including men like Second Lieutenant Wilson Albert Copeland, my late father, who served as a Tuskegee Airman from 1941 to 1946. A new film, Double Victory, debuts at the University of Massachusetts - Boston about the Tuskegee Airmen, hosted by Chancellor Keith J. Motley and Oscar winning actor Cuba Gooding, Jr.
About Veterans Day:
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"
Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Summertime Nursery Crawl #7
Randy and I were in the 2007 Travis County Master Gardener class and have been palling around ever since. He lives about ten minutes from me and we're both on the MG Garden Tour this coming October...hence the constant nursery crawl...we agreed to blog about it, though he apparently enjoys the planing and doing more than the writing. This trip was his idea and built around two places that he really wanted to visit in the historical town of Gonzales "Birthplace of Texas Freedom",Discovery Antiques and their Warehouse. We were looking for potential garden art, doors for Randy's new shed, plants and anything funkadellic to help set our gardens apart.
Jatropha, outside the jailhouse in Gonzales.
Watch it! Randy insisted that I be the "chubby" one.
This is my favorite shot from the entire trip. It's the gallows from inside the County Jail. The building wasn't marked and I stepped inside because there was a gift shop and Chamber of Commerce sign. If you go to Gonzales, you have to see this place. It's 4 stories of cells wrapped around the hangman's rope, meaning that all the inmates faced the doomed man. It was spooky and not that the town needed any help. Apparently, Sam Houston had the town burned down to stop supplies from falling into enemy hands, the town nearly burned in another major fire and suffered through several floods...it was the middle of the day and I felt like we were surrounded by ghosts!
The red chair has the same effect as a red flower or red paint, your eye cannot look away from the garishness. It was shockingly appropriate juxaposed the faded turquois and gray old space. We were marveling at the graffiti which went to the ceiling and how blasted hot and stinky it must have been in the day.
This is the building that houses the gallows and the room on the bottom left had a sign on the door that read "Women and Lunatic Cell" with an apology to women beneath, which seemed strangly humorous.
Stunning Empire StyleGonzales County Courthouse built 1894-96, designed by Architect J. Reily Gordon. The city is the only one of its size in Texas to retain it's original Spanish name.
Had to get a picture of the stylish Movie house which has found itself in many a publication, most recently in a photographers collection of abandoned Texas Movie Houses...great theme.
Randy's new toy made for a fun drive as the cloud coverage and drizzle kept us cool.
One of the many hand painted advertisements in downtown Gonzales.
Lots and lots of pricey pretties inside...
The store boasts the largest collection of hardware and doors around...there were 6,000 doors the last time someone counted...not including the larger (?) lot at the Warehouse.
Everything was way overpriced and figured we'd have better luck at the Warehouse, so away we went.
This place was spookier than than the Jailhouse. At some point, after getting lost meandering in and out of rooms where we were overwhelmed with thousands of windows, shutters, bathtubs, antique raw lumber...the list goes on, we both started to feel sick. When we found someone to talk with we asked where all this stuff came from and why the exorbitant prices and were met with the answer that they came from demolition. We're talking grand scale. It all started looking like a graveyard of memories, real peoples hard work and lives being torn apart and sold at an exorbitant profit. Then the sickness turned to anger and I had to leave. I don't have a problem with anyone making a living, but this stuff was made by artisans who will never see a penny and is being hoarded for the bourgois-nouveau-riche, there wasn't anything in there that we could afford.
The Shutter room.
Time to change directions. We got some bad advice from the fellow at Discovery to eat at "Rodeo" which he claimed was the best place in town.
Thumbs down for me, and as usual...up for Randy who would eat a turd if covered in hot-sauce. I can say that because he never bothers reading my blog! Take that you crazy lush! Seriously, he ate the whole thing, save the beans which he tried to pawn off on me. I went back to eating pesca-vegetarian over a year ago and am finding it impossible to eat healthy fare outside the city. I'm doomed to cheese enchiladas, which I ordered but asked if they could put some shrimp in it? It arrived cold from the frozen packaging. I ate the rice and soupy beans but opted for a coconut Popsicle for dessert, the place doesn't even have a liquor licence! High prices, bad advice...raspberries to you! For shame...
This old residence was across the street from the Dairy Queen and took up an entire city block with a stately fence covered in ivy and a big "Private Property" sign which was just enough to entice Randy...he was born to stick it in and stir it up...no pun intended, my friend.
Man was it grand! There was a condemned sign on the door and most of the windows were boarded up. I'd spent the previous week watching the entire first season of "True Blood" and got completely goose-pimply! I'd love to know the storey of this old mansion with the "M" over the door, it has to be over a hundred years old...this is as close as I got because the place was covered in poison ivy and I was itching just watching Randy poke around. I spent quite a bit of time looking for information about the house online but it didn't lead to much more than realizing there are some 80 historic homes in the little town of 18,000 and more yet to be restored. Gonzales boasts a Driving Tour of Historic Homes, which we were constantly crossing.
There were two nurseries on our list and we couldn't find either one according to the directions we'd written down...and wouldn't have found this one save for a fellow at a convenient store clearing up the issue of the broken roads, the signage leaves a lot to be desired...it's like they want you to get lost and not know about anything. No one seemed to be able to answer questions about the mysterious "M" mansion either.
Green Acres nursery is NOT worth the trip. It's incredibly small, in spite of the "acres" in it's name...you're looking at most of it, with a small collection of trees behind. It has been in business for some time and the folks were very friendly but there just isn't much more to say.
Both plants and products seemed overpriced and under-pretty.
We left Gonzales, belly aching, spooked and dry. Both of us had heard about Tocquigny's (sounds like zucchini) Green Gate in the past week from separate sources, so we decided to hit Seguin to see if we'd have better luck there. Again, Booyah!
All kinds of kitschy, artsy and muy-fine garden garb.
We spent the most time in the first greenhouse which was all indoor and exotics.
Beautiful cacti of all size and very, very low prices!
I don't remember what this flower was called...it looks like a Pom-Pom to me!
Over half the greenhouses looked like this...lush and gorgeous!
There are over 50 greenhouses and Randy's punishment for trying to drag me through each and everyone was a sunburn on his bald head!
I quit following him at the Orchid house...becuase, there isn't a thing on this earth more beautiful to me than a perfect Orchid...
and there were plenty. Visit Green Gate, it's well worth the trip. The staff is knowledgable, the prices more than fair and it was a delightful day...in spite of the air going out in the convertable...which cooked us well-done by the time we reached home. Thanks for coming along with us on the crawl and Thank-you to the folks who are sending destination-suggestions! | <urn:uuid:221c07c6-96e9-4103-bf49-a56c855bc20c> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://consciousgardening.blogspot.com/2009/06/summertime-nursery-crawl-7.html | 2017-06-27T13:55:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321426.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627134151-20170627154151-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.983575 | 1,815 | [

It might not look fancy, but a blind test placed side-to-side with well known HiFi brands, proved its worthiness in competing on today top of the line speakers.
Introduction To HiFi:
Most of your typical speakers (ex. car speakers, boombox, etc.) are not really categorized as HiFi. HiFi - is a term used by home audio enthusiasts, a.k.a audiophiles, to refer to high-quality reproduction of sound. The goal is to achieve clarity, low rates of distortion and hear pure audio. "Hearing The Exact Sound When It Was Recorded"
Don't be fooled by the watt ratings, large speakers, rediculouse amplifiers, none of those really matter. Not because you have a Bose speaker doesn't mean you should think high of your setup. In fact ready built setups are just the tip of the iceberg. There are other classy brands out there like: Bowers & Wilkins, Dynaudio, Dali, Focal, JM, Wharfedale, Martin Logan, Hansen, PSB & etc...
My Experience & How I got Into Audio:
I've been into speakers since I was 6 y/o, it fascinates me how the sound varies by changing the enclosure size, amplifier circuits, adding crossovers and stuff. My experience drastically improved at the age of 13, when my dad established his lavishing speaker setup. We went to countless HiFi and audiophile stores, canvasing and testing for HiFi home entertainment speakers and amplifiers.
Our theater room's current has a 5.1 setup: B&W 680' series, a THX approved Onkyo Receiver, Optoma 1080p FullHD 3D projector. While our family room currently has a pair of B&W 685 and a pair of Polk Audio's LSiM703, a Cambridge Audio 550A (azur), C.A. 550A CD player, DAC Magic Plus, Onkyo ND-S1 apple dock, and the Audio Technica AT-PL120 Turntable :D
I deeply apologize for the poor photos! I was 13 back then, when I documented this project. My knowledge & experience in photography were pretty poor.
I aborted this project after I decided to make a pair of Tower speakers. That's why you will notice that the vinyl wrap isn't applied yet. Think of this as a Christmas bonus :))
Step 1: Gather Your Tools & Materials
- 6.5" Woofer Speakers (pair)
- Dome Tweeter Speakers (pair)
- Two way Crossover (3.5kHz - pair)
- Bass Reflex Ports (pair)
- Banana Plug Binding Posts (pair)
- Guage 12 Speaker Wires (1 Meter)
- Vinyl Wallpaper (Your Choice)
- 8x10 ft. MDF Wood Material
- Plasylux Putty (Woodfiller)
- A bottle of woodglue
- Silicon Sealant (w/ Applicator)
- 1x1 Wooden Battens (1 Meter)
- 1" Deep Hex Screws (12x)
Tools & Equipment:
- 40w Soldering Iron
- Electric Sander
- Electric Drill
- Screwdriver Set
- Marker Set
- 48 Inch Ruler
Step 2: Choosing Your Parts & Drivers
Before you go crazy on shopping spree. Be sure to read more articles in the net, canvas more about their prices, read more reviews and take a lot of consideration in selecting brands. I'm a practical kid, I try to buy things worth my budget.
To start off, Parts Express (online site) is a great source for speaker sales. Brands that I recommend buying are Dayton, Focal, Fostex, Seas, Tang-Band & Zalytron.
Try to find speakers that can reach a wide range of frequency. For woofers, a frequency response of 60Hz - 6kHz are good to start with. A frequency response of 200Hz - 6kHz for midrange speakers and 4kHz - 20kHz for tweeters.
Remember that the human ear can only hear 20Hz - 20kHz of audio frequencies so don't get excited if you find speakers that can go above or below the audible frequencies, it would be a great impracticality.
Audio crossovers are a class of electronic filter used in audio applications. Most individual loudspeaker drivers are incapable of covering the entire audio spectrum from low frequencies to high frequencies with acceptable relative volume and absence of distortion so most hi-fi speaker systems use a combination of multiple loudspeakers drivers, each catering to a different frequency band. Crossovers split the audio signal into separate frequency bands that can be separately routed to loudspeakers optimized for those bands.
As much as possible go for the bessel or linkwitz type of passive crossovers. They are the most common type of crossover filters, it has been and will always be the trusted and safest.
There are two commonly used speaker enclosures, one is the ported and one is the sealed. The sealed enclosure is perfect for small speaker enclosures, it dampens the sound given off, resulting to a punchy sound rather than the woofy effect. The cons: is that this design will require a 100% airtight enclosure for it to be effective. The ported enclosure is only ideal for large speakers (+ 6.5 inch").
My Speakers/ Drivers:
Don't bother searching for my drivers, you won't find it. I have a friend who sells OEM speakers. According to the data sheets, this thing resembles the Dayton Audio classic woofer, a veteran in the section of DIY HiFi, it was able to maintain it's quality over the years. You won't believe how much I got it for :D A pair was sold to me at 1,600 php ($32), a real bargain! For the tweeters, I found mine from a local audio supplier, locally made, a brand that I trust. Again I got my pair at a cheap price of 500 php ($10).
Step 3: Planning the Blueprints
Full Tutorial On Making Enclosures:
- Speaker Box Design (DIYaudio.com)
- Building and Designing Enclosures
The Calculators I Used:
- DIY Speaker Enclosure Calculator
- Speaker Enclosure Output Calculator
Step 4: Marking the Soon to Be Cut Wood
Step 6: Gluing the MDF Panels
Step 7: Installing the Binding Post, Bass Port & Crossover
2nd.) Screw you binding posts in place.
3rd.) Use wood glue to mount and seal the bass port.
Step 8: Let Them Dry
Step 9: Apply Wood Filler Then Sand
Step 10: Choose & Apply Your Vinyl Skin
Step 11: You're Done!
Sorry for not showing the finished vinyl skin. This was a postponed project, actually. | <urn:uuid:e76478dc-ea1d-4112-beec-569a3c54ce1f> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-HiFi-Bookshelf-Speakers-Studio-Reference/ | 2017-06-27T14:52:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321426.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627134151-20170627154151-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.901004 | 1,434 | [

The overnight light rain has generally stopped, that was mainly due to the drop in night time temperatures in the saturated cold air. Those bands of rain, mainly effected the north more than the south of Belize but have now cleared. This cold front, although not all that cold, has well and truly passed Belize with all that strong W wind yesterday.
Looks like today will be similar to yesterday, but without the strong wind, perhaps some sun later, probably no rain.
Temperatures in Belmopan :
Today is probably going to be Similar, to yesterday :

From the architect. The "House Place Jordan "contains structural interferences in an existing garden plant of a single family house in Klagenfurt - Viktring (Kärnten/Austria). Geometrical existing ways leading through the garden and extended in their function of ways - understood as linear surfaces of spatial possibilities - detaching, consolidating themselves, forming spatial compressions, into the earth disappearing or to the sky striving. Always co-ordinated as some kind of service to the user.
The existing condition and the starting position
In 1997 the house Jordan in "Klagenfurt" was built after the plans of the architect Wretschko. In 1999 was added a rising plate after sketches of Tom Mayne. One receives on the one hand the feeling that the house is positioned at a hill, on the other hand distinguishes the property itself from the environment and offers protection for "an internal" so called free space.
Two geometrically linear ways through the garden open the most important places for the user. It was a desire by the owner that the garden should remain as a "wide" existing surface.
A far field of different possibilities to use. There was a swimmingpool with a surrounding concrete area existing. Also a summerhouse was added in the following years - this should not exist any more and be cleared away.
The main goal, which should be founded in a private competition under three architects, was to create on the one hand a new lounge (summerhouse), on the other hand in addition, certain separately elements distributed over the garden - an existing ‘"view-protection" should be removed - should be brought up for a new discussion. A new unit of not cultivated an cultivated surfaces in the garden should be achieved.
Interferences in an existing garden
Due to the existing situation of the garden situation we tried to create and continue a kind of landscape character. The existing rather elementarily arising ways are taken up and subjected to spatial dynamics, different functions and tasks following. As simply accessible surfaces to stay around the swimming pool, as seat faces or couch surfaces, as a table....or as a roof, to offer protection or "view-protection to the neighbours.
Also the stripes should create possible positions and movements, as the garden himself should be a free area of possible movements. In the area of the "pool-plate" six stripes line up on each other and take over different functions.
A fragmentary strip as a ramp has the task leading to the lawn. We describe this as a kind changing stripe - coming of the garden and leading into the garden -..... immersing, releasing the movement and in the area of the "view-protection" again emerging, and receiving function. Each individual strip of the "view-protection" is associated to an existing stripe, leading through the garden. | <urn:uuid:f51586a5-abad-471c-9fbd-d503651f303d> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.archdaily.com/6738/house-place-jordan-heri-salli/ | 2017-06-28T09:01:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323588.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628083538-20170628103538-00239.warc.gz | en | 0.934962 | 583 | [

This time our topic of the week is teaching behaviour and 1-to-1 mentoring.
This week, Paul covers a huge amount! After mentioning the concepts of ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe’ which he has been working on this week, we move on to the importance of self-reflection which needs to be actively taught to many pupils. It is not enough to assume pupils can ‘do’ self-reflection automatically.
Paul outlines the techniques used in a lot of Japanese schools known as ‘Naikan self-reflection’. The US site http://www.todoinstitute.org/naikan.html has full details of the scheme. The process relies on three questions:
- What have I received from other people?
- What have I given to other people?
- What troubles have I caused?

I just love this one and my other crocheted pumpkins bring Fall/Halloween into my house. :)
Oh, and my another dahlia has bloomed! :) I just love the flower.
My next ongoing project is a lapghan for my father. He is in a hospital in Japan... He will be ok though. :)
I'm using Caron's Simply Soft Shadows. It's really soft, comfortable to work with, and the colors are nice! I'll post a photo of the lapghan here when it's done!
Have a good weekend! :) | <urn:uuid:04972a9b-da3e-4443-bc11-0fe7077f63bd> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://chiescrochetandknitting.blogspot.com/2006/10/ | 2017-06-29T03:42:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323864.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629033356-20170629053356-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.951772 | 120 | [

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Emtricitabine belongs to a class of medications called antiretrovirals, more specifically, nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It is used in combination with other antiretroviral medications to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Emtricitabine works by interfering with enzymes that are needed for HIV to multiply, thus lowering the amount of HIV in the blood. It may also help the immune system by increasing the number of CD4 (T) cells in the body.
This medication does not cure HIV infection or AIDS and does not reduce the risk of passing HIV to others through sexual contact, sharing needles, or blood contamination.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
Each hard gelatin size 1 capsule with a blue cap and white body, printed with "200 mg" in black on the cap and "GILEAD" and the corporate logo in black on the body, contains emtricitabine 200 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: crospovidone, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and povidone.
How should I use this medication?
The recommended dose of emtricitabine for adults 18 years and older is 200 mg once daily taken with or without food. It is used in combination with other anti-HIV medications. If you have reduced kidney function, your doctor may recommend longer periods of time between doses.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This is very important because the amount of virus in your blood may increase if the medication is stopped for even a short time, and the virus may develop resistance to this medication and become harder to treat. Do not stop taking this medication without telling your doctor. Your HIV infection may get worse if you stop this medication.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take more than one dose of this medication in a day. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to emtricitabine or to any of the ingredients of the medication.
What side effects are possible with this medication?
Many medications can cause side effects. A side effect is an unwanted response to a medication when it is taken in normal doses. Side effects can be mild or severe, temporary or permanent.
The side effects listed below are not experienced by everyone who takes this medication. If you are concerned about side effects, discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your doctor.
The following side effects have been reported by at least 1% of people taking this medication. Many of these side effects can be managed, and some may go away on their own over time.
Contact your doctor if you experience these side effects and they are severe or bothersome. Your pharmacist may be able to advise you on managing side effects.
- abnormal dreams
- difficulty sleeping
- muscle pain
- prickly, tingling, burning sensations
- runny nose
- skin discoloration, especially of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet
Although most of the side effects listed below don't happen very often, they could lead to serious problems if you do not check with your doctor or seek medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
- symptoms of liver problems (e.g., yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools, loss of appetite, nausea, and lower stomach pain)
Seek immediate medical attention if any of the following occur:
- symptoms of lactic acidosis (e.g., nausea, vomiting, unusual muscle pain, stomach pain, weakness, tiredness, feeling cold, dizziness, lightheadedness, or irregular heartbeat)
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Fat redistribution: This medication may change how fat is distributed on your body. With long-term use, fat may accumulate on the stomach, back, and breasts and be reduced on the arm, legs, and face. Notify your doctor if you start developing any changes in your body's appearance.
Hepatitis B: The safe use of this medication for people who are also infected with hepatitis B has not been established. Your doctor may test you for hepatitis B infection before starting you on this medication. If this medication is used to treat HIV for people who also have hepatitis B, worsening of hepatitis B may occur. If you have hepatitis B and stop taking this medication, your hepatitis may return more severely than before. Do not stop taking this medication unless recommended by your doctor. Your doctor will monitor your liver function closely while you are taking emtricitabine.
Immune reconstitution syndrome: This medication may cause immune reconstitution syndrome, where signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections appear. These symptoms occur soon after starting anti-HIV medication and can vary. They are thought to occur as a result of the immune system improving and being able to fight infections that have been present without symptoms (such as pneumonia, herpes, hepatitis, or tuberculosis). Report any new symptoms to your doctor immediately.
Lactic acidosis and enlarged liver: This medication can cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis (buildup of lactic acid), together with an enlarged fatty liver. You may be more likely to experience these problems if you are female, obese, or have been taking nucleoside analog medications such as emtricitabine for a long time. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of this condition, such as:
- feeling cold
- irregular heartbeat
- stomach pain
Liver problems: This medication can cause liver problems. Your doctor may monitor your liver function while you are taking this medication, especially if you have risk factors for liver problems. Tell your doctor immediately about any signs of liver problems, such as:
- dark urine
- loss of appetite
- pale stools
- weight loss
- yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes
Reduced kidney function: This medication is primarily eliminated from the body by the kidneys. People with reduced kidney function will need longer than 24 hours between doses. Your doctor will recommend how you should take this medication based on your kidney function.
Pregnancy: The medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: Emtricitabine passes into breast milk. Breast-feeding is not recommended for HIV-positive women since the virus can be passed to the baby through breast milk.Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for adolescents and children less than 18 years of age.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between emtricitabine and any of the following:
- other products that contain emtricitabine
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

- High Pressure Bronze
- Cast Iron
- Stainless Steel
- Hastelloy C
- Engineered Plastic
N992 SERIES D.C.
Pump housings and gears are made of top quality bronze, shafts are 303 stainless steel. Bearings are designed of high performance carbon-graphite material selected for wear resistance and long service life. Gear pumps are positive displacement pumps. Each shaft revolution displaces a definite amount of liquid relatively unaffected by the back pressure in the discharge line. Shaft speed and flow are directly proportional.
- Compact Design Eases Installation & Use in Limited Space Areas.
- Construction is Bronze & Stainless Steel Wetted Components.
- Close Tolerance Design Allows For Consistent Performance.
- Self-Lubricating Bearings
- Complete Units Available
- Slotted Motor Base
- Permanent Magnet Rigid Base Motors
LIQUIDS & TEMPERATURES
Compact DC portable units convenient for on site servicing of vehicles, machinery and field equipment. For pumping oil direct from crankcase or oil reservoir, drums, containers, transfer diesel fuel to vehicles, pumping other liquids and chemicals compatible with materials of construction. Pumping viscous oils, SAE 30 or greater, can overload motor. Intermittent use is recommended when pumping viscous oils, especially in cold weather.
Service life will be increased substantially if liquid pumped is clean and has lubricity value. These pumps have extremely close tolerances. Fine abrasives like sand, silt or powders in suspension will destroy pumping ability.
Liquids compatible with bronze, stainless steel and the Nitrile lip seal can be pumped. For solvents a fluoroelastomer lip seal is available. For a fluoroelastomer Seal, add S5 to the pump model number. See chemical compatibility table. Temperature extremes are detrimental to service life and should be avoided. Basic metals of construction allow temperature range of -40° to 400°F. Standard Nitrile lip seal has a temperature limit of 250°F, while the fluoroelastomer lip seal will handle up to 300°F. Freezing liquid in the pump can deform or damage the pump.
As a general rule, the suction lift should be kept at an absolute minimum by placing the pump as close to the liquid source as possible. A gear pump in new condition can lift 20 feet of water in the suction line. A foot valve (preferably with built-in strainer) is recommended at the beginning of the suction line. For a first start-up, the pump should be primed to avoid dry running. Minimum size of the suction pipe is the size of the pump inlet port. For longer suction lines (over 3 feet) or for viscous liquids, the pipe should be at least one size or two sizes larger than the pump inlet port.
EXPLODED VIEW & PARTS LIST
If the discharge line contains any throttling devices such as a shut-off valve, a spray nozzle or other restrictive device, it is necessary to have a relief valve in the system, which returns the liquid to the suction side or to the tank. The relief valve is also available as part of the pump itself (R-model pumps). However, built-in relief valves are only good for intermittent service. If used continuously, the pump will overheat. A built-in relief valve is strictly a safety device against overpressure. It will not work successfully as a pressure or flow control device. For this purpose a separate relief valve in the pressure line must be used. Unless otherwise specified, the pump motor unit is supplied by the factory for shaft rotation counterclockwise from shaft end. Reversing motor will reverse “in and “out” ports and also requires changing relief valve location. The relief valve is always on the inlet side of this pump series. The factory pressure setting is 50 PSIG. To increase pressure, turn the relief valve adjusting screw in a clockwise direction. | <urn:uuid:3ba15975-87bb-40f1-9ee4-94f6e753dd84> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://oberdorfer-pumps.com/pumps/gear-pumps/n992-series-dc/ | 2017-06-22T20:26:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319902.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622201826-20170622221826-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.879085 | 822 | [

Babies of overweight or obese mothers grow slowly, reveals study.
A team led by a University of Iowa researcher compared the weight and height of babies born to overweight and obese mothers with those born to normal-weight mothers.
Contrary to expectations, babies of overweight/obese mothers gained less weight and grew less in length than babies of normal-weight women from just after birth to three months, the Journal of Pediatrics reports.
The overweight/obese mother babies also gained less fat mass than those born to normal-weight mothers. Fat mass in infants is widely considered to be crucial to brain growth and development. (That may explain why humans have the fattest newborns of any mammal), according to an Iowa statement.
"We've found these children are not growing normally," says Katie Larson Ode, assistant clinical professor in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes at Iowa, who led the study.
"If what we have found is true, it implies that the obesity epidemic is harming children while they are still in utero (womb) and increases the importance of addressing the risk of obesity before females enter the child-bearing years, where the negative effects can affect the next generation," said Ode.
Six in 10 women of childbearing age in United States are overweight or obese, according to a 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Children of overweight or obese mothers, in general, catch up to their normal-weight-mother peers at some point, according to studies. Unfortunately, they also have a higher risk of continuing to rapidly gain weight in adolescence and becoming fat themselves, triggering health problems throughout their lifetimes. | <urn:uuid:afce092b-4d83-487e-a414-75af705eb03a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.medindia.net/news/infants-of-obese-mothers-have-delayed-physical-growth-study-105196-1.htm | 2017-06-22T20:59:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319902.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622201826-20170622221826-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.961312 | 338 | [

Assata Shakur Book Review
Assata Shakur: A 20th Century Escaped Slave is the story of Assata Shakur, before she became a fugitive and since.
About Assata Shakur: A 20th Century Escaped Slave
In May 1973, Assata Olugbala Shakur was involved in a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in which she was accused of killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster and assaulting Trooper James Harper. This resulted in her indictment of first-degree murder of Foerster and seven other felonies related to the shootout. A member of the Black Panther Party, she became a prime target of the Federal Bureau of Investigations Counterintelligence Program. When she joined the Black Liberation Army and went into hiding, between 1973 and 1977, she was placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted List for three bank robberies, the kidnapping and murder of two drug dealers, and the attempted murder of two New Jersey police officers.
March 1977 Assata Shakur was convicted of murdering state trooper Werner Forrester and was imprisoned. Two years later she broke out of the maximum-security wing of Clinton Correctional Facility in New Jersey, pistol in hand, as she and three cohorts sped out of the prison grounds. In 1984 she was granted political asylum in Cuba where she has lived ever since. On May 2, 2013, the FBI added her to the Most Wanted Terrorist List, the first woman to be listed. Assata Shakur: A 20th Century Escaped Slave is the story of Assata Shakur, before she became a fugitive and since.
This book is a detailed look at the life of Assata Shakur. This was my first time hearing about this important woman and I enjoyed learning about her life, her struggles, her fight against the law and then later her political asylum in Cuba. I was shocked to find out that she was the first woman to be added to the Most Wanted Terrorist List!
It is a detailed look at each of the events leading up to her political asylum and the information is given to us with just the facts – no judgement given to her nor the police, just the facts as they were laid out for all during that time. Barbara keeps that neutral fact sharing throughout the whole book which readers will appreciate.
The book does not give a detailed look into her personal life but more of her life as a political protestor and then prisoner. We are given the history of that time period, the facts that surround her accusations, her escape and later her time spent in Cuba. The only thing I found a bit difficult to follow was at times I felt like the book jumped back and forth between time frames. I found myself going back to re-read chapters to ensure I understood what was happening, I am not sure if this was because I wasn’t familiar enough with her history or because of the way the book was written.
This is a great book that gives you a detailed (but quick) look at the life of Assata, her struggles, her accusations and then her life in Cuba after being granted political asylum. It will definitely spark interest in her life and make you want more.

The Clement Danes Trust provides almshouses for the elderly at St Clements Heights on Wells Park Road. The majority of their intake comes from the local area and the price of accommodation is subsidised by the trust to affordable levels. However, the current housing on the site is now starting to decay and needs rebuilding to provide residents with housing of a decent standard. This is obviously a costly process and in order to finance the project it will be necessary that some of the existing site is developed into private housing.
Aside from the obvious benefit to the community of decent quality, affordable sheltered accommodation for the elderly, the project will help to meet local housing demand and will be designed to meet Lewisham Council’s 20% sustainable energy target.
Curtin & Co, a specialist community consultancy; will be working in conjunction with Pellings LLP and the St Clement Danes Holborn Estate Charity to conduct a programme of consultation on the proposed redevelopment. They will be running a Public Exhibition on Thursday 30th June 2011, from 3pm to 9pm, and on Friday 1st July 2011 from 3pm to 6pm in St. Philip the Apostle Church Hall, Coombe Road, off Wells Park Road.
Further details can be obtained from Ian on 0207 399 2293 or by email at [email protected]. Please note that the workshop referred to previously is an invitation only event while the public exhibition is open to all. | <urn:uuid:aea1f653-5257-451d-91e4-b57436591431> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.foresthillsociety.com/2011/06/st-clements-heights-public-meeting.html | 2017-06-23T17:21:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320077.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623170148-20170623190148-00039.warc.gz | en | 0.955891 | 296 | [

The Dakota Apartments were New York’s first luxury apartments, built by Singer Sewing Machine’s Edward S. Clark and designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh (of Plaza Hotel fame). It was named the Dakota, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, because Clark’s colleagues teased him that if he built it a few blocks further away he could build it in Dakota (Indian territory). *
The grand structure overlooking Central Park has a 20-foot-high covered entryway into its central courtyard – designed to accommodate carriages and horses, which were stabled nearby. The apartments were served by four entrances, at the corners of the courtyard. The adjoining lot – now a white brick apartment building – used to contain The Dakota’s tennis courts and a power station.
Though most recently known as the home of John Lennon and Yoko Ono – and the site where Lennon was murdered – the building has in fact been home to dozens of celebrities. Celebrity status isn’t enough to gain admittance, though: The Board of Directors (The Dakota is a cooperative) is notorious for rejecting would-be tenants. Among the rejected: Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Cher, Billy Joel, Madonna, Carly Simon, Alex Rodriguez, Judd Apatow and Tea Leoni.
When apartments become available, their prices are in the tens of millions of dollars. That doesn’t seem to bother some people: John Lennon had six apartments; Rudolf Nureyev’s apartment was just one of several homes.
When built, The Dakota Apartments offered many services of a hotel. A private dining room served residents – or delivered (and served) meals in their apartments. A substantial housekeeping staff included porters, janitors, maids, laundresses, elevator operators and more. The staff delivered coal and firewood for the apartments’ stoves and fireplaces – and hauled away the resulting ashes. The top two floors were originally for the building’s laundry, and servants quarters.
All in all, beautiful architecture and fascinating history. See some of the interiors at the Dakota Projects documentary website.
* This story, though widely quoted, actually has no documentary basis according to historian Andrew Alpern. The quote was pure speculation of a property manager, years after Clark died, says Mr. Alpern.
There is a new book by architectural historian Andrew Alpern – the most comprehensive history of The Dakota imaginable! Mr. Alpern documents the building, its builder (and family!), the architect, the neighborhood, the architectural and historical context, and even the Dakota’s residents. Fascinating reading that illuminates not only The Dakota, but also the world of apartment living in New York City. I’m honored that he chose photos from this gallery to help illustrate the volume.

“The United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation concluded in 1998 that global fishing capacity was 2.5 times greater than global fish stocks could sustain; since then capacity has increased” (http://www.agriculture.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/fisheries/fisheries-review/submissions-received/Stop_the_Trawler_Alliance.pdf)
“We abuse land and ocean because we regard them as commodities belonging to us. When we see land and ocean as a community to which we belong, we can only then begin to use them with love and respect. Then Mother Nature will love and respect us back ….. instead of punishing us”.
I employ sensitive, sustainable hand-caught fishing methodologies. My seafood is all of the highest Iki-jime standard.
Iki-jime means to quickly and humanely brain kill – the classic Iki-jime technique is far more complex, but effectively it means –
Catch it quick (i.e. as stress-free as possible), Kill it quick and Chill it quick.
When properly administered, the process creates the most outstanding quality and flavour imaginable in seafood – a fact that I’ve proven time and again, throughout the globe. I’m a firm believer that the same process (and associated value-add to the product) actually should apply to all foods destined for the plate, …. even vegetables, and eggs !.
My adoption of the Iki-jime method came about because of a chance meeting on the wharf in Eden, NSW in the late 80’s with the esteemed Japanese Iki-jime Master, Mr. Masuko. Over several years I was educated in the art of Iki-jime treatment of seafood by Japanese mentors. This fish is sustainably, individually line-caught, and instantly killed [to minimize stress to the fish]. This method delivers the best-possible seafood product to the consumer. This is the total opposite to mass-caught seafood which endures rough handling and stresses which have an adverse effect on both the flavour and quality of the product. The Iki-jime grade methodology (a) individually optimises every single fish to it’s absolute maximum potential – as to both pricing ..and taste, and just as importantly; (b) results in a ZERO FOOTPRINT on the marine environs and ecology. No damage to the environment. No unwanted by-catch or wastage.
In the early 90’s Neil Perry found out about my product whilst on a visit to Tsukiji Market in Tokyo… where he commented to an Auctioneer that he would love to have such quality of fish for his Restaurants back in Australia. The Auctioneer said incredulously “ but this is Mark San fish from Sydney”!! From that moment forward, by insisting on Iki-jime grade product, Neil Perry changed the face of seafood fine dining in this country.
A fisherman for more than 40 years [since I was old enough to hold a rod], and an avid Diver [several thousand dives], with an incredible passion for not only understanding and creating world class seafood, but also vehemently lobbying for its ethical and sustainable harvest. I’ve never been one to take a backward step … and I’ve been a continual thorn in the side of all “mass catching” fishing operators (where I’ve actually attracted death threats) including Industry Administrators and Policy makers – both State and Federal. “I am NOT trying to put them out of business, they have large investments to protect and beautiful families to nurture and feed. I just want them to change their methodology … and equally the public have a role to play too, in perceptions and appreciation of how genuine, ethical, sustainable seafood quality is achieved – utilising truly ethical and sustainable methodologies”.
My passion is for lobbying change in the abhorrent mass-catch techniques utilised globally, where dredging, trawling, and other mass-catch and destructive, devastating fishing practices have been permitted by the relevant authorities.
These practices result in what is internationally termed “overshoot”.
Overshoot occurs when the fishing industry’s methodology places such a demand on the natural ecosystems that it actually exceeds the supply and/ or the regenerative capacity of the ecosystem. Our waters are being exploited and it is unknown how long it will require for them to regenerate. Or if they will be able to regenerate. My observations indicate the authorities who are charged with protecting and ensuring fishing sustainability are not sufficiently acting to address this overshoot and associated devastation. There is a plethora of evidence globally of resource collapse …. yet our decision makers keep inviting the same perpetrators to come and fish our waters ?? …. it is just beyond belief:
I’ve repeatedly petitioned authorities and government representatives to little avail. Yet Seafood Industry Methodology MUST change. And fast.
My outspokenness and requests for the authorities to change the very nature of current fishing methodology – to more sustainable practices have repeatedly made me a target of the industry authorities (and commercial fisherman engaged in such practices) persistently seeking to discredit me. With some threatening to do worse.
In an effort to initiate change in the industry [after many years of utter frustration with the incompetence, lethargy and inaction of Government Departments] – I’ve decided that “people power” is the only way that we would achieve change … basically – if the average consumer is educated enough to know what to demand, … there will be no market for mass-caught product – hence the mass-catch operators will have to change their methodology.
There are many “Spin Doctors” in our the seafood industry yet most have never set foot on a fishing vessel, let alone actually caught fish for a living … they are just “well read” [including many of our “policy makers” in the industry, who alarmingly, can make life-changing decisions, that massively impact on the average fisherman – yet these people have zero practical experience !!]. Similarly, many Chefs and Fishmongers are great at “talking the talk” …claiming to support ethical and sustainable fishing, but very few actually put those beliefs into practice by actually “walking the walk”. I want to give the average consumer the tools necessary to keep them all honest. On that same tack, I want to continually identify those who ARE “walking the walk” to help them achieve the recognition that they richly deserve. [see Restaurants]
Prior to early 2013, I’ve never previously participated in any form of Web or social media … My product has spoken for itself. But this website and other forms of media have become necessary if I’m to help educate the average consumer about what to look out for – and to develop the tools necessary to drive REAL and lasting change … from the very grass roots of the market place outward.
There are many compliments and kind words contained in the testimonials page on this site … but the greatest compliment that I have ever received, is that I am currently entrusted to train the Grandchildren of my Japanese mentors … in the art of Iki-jime.
A little tip, if you want to pause any of the slideshows on this site, just hover the cursor over the pictures and you’ll bring up a ‘pause’ option.

There is no shortage of people in this administration who will say anything that they are told to say. Tony Snow discussing the Geneva Convention:
Q Does that not invite other countries to do the same, to have other interpretations of Article III?
MR. SNOW: What it allows every country to do is to have an interpretation. Our European allies don’t have an interpretation.
Q And your critics say that’s bad for U.S. troops if you allow those kinds of interpretations.
MR. SNOW: No, I think just the opposite. As a matter of fact, the five guys who are Judge Advocates General right now say we need it. The people who interpret the law, the people who serve as the chief legal officers within the Pentagon themselves say we need it. ..
Q Tony, I’m confused. Everybody I talked to today on the Hill says, look, you’ve had the Geneva Conventions in place since 1947. This isn’t the Migratory Birds Treaty we’re talking about. This is the Geneva Conventions.
MR. SNOW: Right.
Q And it’s a very simple argument. We don’t want to talk about the definition of amend or change, but that it stands on its own as written, hasn’t been tinkered with since 1947, doesn’t need to be tinkered with now. So if that seems to be the position from a former JAG and a former POW and a former Secretary of the Navy, where’s the room to work anything out?
MR. SNOW: Well, I think there is. For instance, in 1987, we didn’t know what the Genocide Convention said, so we passed a law to deal with it.
Q Not the Geneva Conventions.
MR. SNOW: It appears. Yes, the Geneva Convention.
Q But not Article — it has nothing with this specific article —
MR. SNOW: Well, that’s because Common Article III had never been construed as applying to any conflict in which the United States had ever been a party. And furthermore, it has not been construed as applying to conflicts for the most part that afflicted any of our allies, to which they’ve been a party. It is something that they had never had to think about, and for which there was not a substantial and settled body of law that would define what the terms mean. And this is a key point. Nobody has defined in law what the terms mean. And we think it’s important not only that we define what the terms mean, but that our — the people who are working for us, either as soldiers in the field, or those who are doing the questioning for the CIA, they have to know that it passes constitutional muster, and it is defined and approved as abiding by our international treaty obligations.
The reason nobody talked about this from 1948 is, it hadn’t come up. And there are times — you’ll be surprised to know —
Q There’s been a lot of wars.
MR. SNOW: But, you know what, Helen, it didn’t apply to most of those wars. It didn’t apply to most of those wars which is why people have not asked the questions.
Q This seems — hang on a second — this seems to be —
MR. SNOW: Well, and let me just make the point here, the predicate of your question was, it had been sitting around and everybody knew what the meaning was, and the fact is, nobody knew what the meaning was.
Until John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales came along, nobody had ever dusted off the Geneva Convention’s rules and actually read them.
That is a dazzling statement.
Here is the ‘contested’ Article III
In the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the following provisions:
1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
(b) Taking of hostages;
(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;
(d) The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.
2. The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for.
An impartial humanitarian body, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, may offer its services to the Parties to the conflict.
The Parties to the conflict should further endeavour to bring into force, by means of special agreements, all or part of the other provisions of the present Convention.

Weight loss stories are really popular with magazines, whether it’s an inspirational woman who has dropped the pounds to change her life, or even a bigger women who wants to speak out about how she is happy with the way she looks. Lots of clients come to us hoping to share their weight loss secrets with the world – whether it’s through surgery, popular diet plans, or sheer willpower.
We love seeing people’s fantastic before and after transformation pictures, and they really help us to sell a weight loss story for a top fee. But the best way to sell a weight loss story is to emphasise something unique. Maybe you were inspired to drop the pounds after seeing a terrible photo of yourself, or someone made an unkind comment? Or maybe you found yourself in an embarrassing situation where your size got in the way? Did you try something different slim down – eating an unusual meal plan or resorting to strange exercise routines? Has your weight loss had unexpected results too – perhaps you’ve found or lost love as a result? You can find lots more ideas below.
16-stone Victoria, 33, was happy with her body, so when her fiance proposed she decided not to diet for her wedding in August 2009. But when the wedding photos came back she was distraught. She realised just how big she was and regretted ruining her big day. Inspired to lose weight, she dropped 8.5 stone. Now a size 8, she hopes to renew her vows – and get the wedding album of her dreams. Victoria sold her wedding story to Pick Me Up.
Sometimes, we also help to raise awareness of what can happen when weight loss goes wrong.
Bypass hell! Lost 15st and wedding memories
When Rachel, 28, tipped the scales at a whopping 24 stone she underwent a gastric bypass procedure – but the op was botched. In a critical condition, Rachel was induced into a coma. But when she came round 11 days later, she didn’t recognise anyone around her. Even now, five years on and a slinky 9st 5lb, Rachel’s health problems are continuing. She received £35,000 in compensation, but that will never bring back her lost memories of her wedding day. Rachel sold her gastric bypass story to Closer magazine.
After a gastric bypass on Christmas Eve 2010, 21st Candice, 29, lost 13st. Hubby Dan loved her hot new look – but he wasn’t the only one. Candice’s incredible eight stone body and growing confidence invited admiring looks from men everywhere she went. Jealousy tore them apart and the couple separated three months ago, after 10 years together. Candice’s dream body wrecked her marriage. We helped Candice sell her diet story to Bella magazine.
Five reasons to sell your weight loss story:
- Share your story with millions – reach women, just like you
- Get a makeover – most magazines treat you to a glossy photo shoot, with professional make-up artists
- Earn a high fee – often two or three times, as we can sell your story to several different magazines
- Stay in control – we always guarantee you full approval over the final article
- Have fun – it’s a enjoyable process, and you’ll have a beautiful article to keep forever
Some people just think about selling their diet story to a magazine, but we can also place your story in national newspapers, TV and radio. Use the contact form on the right to contact us for advice or get in touch with one of the team directly.

My day started out with a cup of chamomile tea at Cacciari's Bar in South Kensington while waiting for a client. An early morning meeting typa day. I half heartedly dragged myself out of bed, got dressed and wore my heels. Did a mini experiment but that's another blog post.
From there I headed to Hummingbird Bakery to get me a red velvet cupcake for breakfast. Ok, so maybe I got more than one, I'm allowed. And then it was off to Harrods.
And straight to Laduree for a taste of Paris with their colourful selections of macaroons and luxurious sweet treats. I remember my trip last year to Paris, I had a macaroon obsession cause of how colourful and tempting they looked. Every day we went out I bought a set of macaroons, even though they were too sweet for me. I ended up giving them out as gifts to my friends. Visiting the Laduree branch in Harrods brought back all those memories and now I think I want to go to Paris.
Back to Laduree, it's the best way to end a shopping spree or have tea with a couple of girlfriends and chit chat about nonsense. The atmosphere was very relaxing and chic and the staff were really friendly. At some point I thought I was a clown cause they kept laughing and ducking when I tried to take photos of them. I think they are camera shy. Oh and the chandeliers, you know me and my chandelier obsession, I fell in love with the environment immediately. It gave the impression of a clean and homely atmosphere to work in. And the manager (who is French by the way! Loved the way he said my name) was very interested in my blog and was kind enough to strike a pose for me.
Just outside Harrods is the terrace for Laduree, the perfect environment to grab a quick lunch at or satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. All in all, it was a lovely day and London was kind enough to not rain today. Enjoy the pictures while I enjoy my macaroons :P | <urn:uuid:8b4edf1e-e225-4be6-8367-13bb731ba779> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://bondibilala.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-parisian-affair.html | 2017-06-26T20:55:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320865.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626203042-20170626223042-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.980514 | 442 | [

even millionaires needed to be humble & grateful... what next?? Charlie Sheen sitcom cancelled after radio rant | TV News Extra Blog - Yahoo! TV UK
Chuck Lorre has a long history of featuring 'vanity cards' with messages at the end of shows that he works on. The cards are normally featured for just a couple of seconds so viewers wanting to read them in full often have to pause the picture in order to do so.
Last Monday's 'Two and a Half Men' vanity card said: "If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really p***ed."

Makes perfect sense... Trust in China is paramount. Best Buy Shuts China Stores to Focus on More Profitable Brand - Bloomberg
“Store openings will be focused primarily on the profitable growth platforms of its Best Buy Mobile business in the United States and its Five Star business in China,” it said in a statement distributed by Business Wire today.
Best Buy will open 40 to 50 of its Five Star branded stores as it competes against Gome Electrical Appliances Holding Ltd. and Suning Appliance Co. in the world’s most populous nation, where retail sales grew by a monthly average of 18.4 percent last year. The Richfield, Minnesota-based retailer also plans to almost double its Best Buy Mobile stores in the U.S."

- Lean startup methology is great, but it is really a lean startup culture you want.
- Lean startup is a machine, garbage in will give you garbage out.
- Early in a startup, product decisions should be hunch driven. Later on, product decisions should be data driven.
- Hunches come from being a power user of the products in your category and from having a long standing obsession about the problem you are solving.
- Domain expertise to the point of obsession is highly correlated with the most successful entrepeneurs in our portfolio.
- Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
- Monetization should be native and improve the experience for users.
- If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
- If you are not technical, get product experience. Get your hands dirty and work with engineers.
- Take risks when you get out of business school. If you don't take risks, you won't find yourself in an interesting job and career."

No wonder how many institutional investors have mostly turned their back on venture capital as an asset class. If things don't turn around soon, even some of the holdouts might begin to reconsider.
Cambridge today also released private equity performance data, showing positive numbers across the board. Private equity outperformed venture capital for the 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods. It fell short for the 15 and 20-year periods."

Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still alive and kicking. I've not been stitching that much in the last week as I've been fighting a head/chest cold. I do hate the head colds as they make it nearly impossible to sit with glasses on your face so you can see to stitch. I'm about 2/3 done with my second Halloween SAL piece for the Oakhaven Designs group. Hopefully I can get that finished this week. Better late than never as they say!
The new job is going along smoothly for the most part. The training is officially over now and after Wednesday they won't be checking behind us anymore. I'm looking forward to being able to order as much work as I can get done every week day. I've decided, after dealing with it three out of the four Saturdays of training, that I can't order work for the weekends. It's really hard to work with the kids at home. I know, eventually I will need to figure something out as they will have vacations and summer break but I think I'll let that go until I'm more comfortable doing the work. It should be interesting the first week or so getting a routine/schedule as I run out several times a day to pick up or drop off the kids. Once I get the routine down, I should start to actually enjoy the work. You can't ask for a better job, work from home and you set your own hours. Perfect for those people that have really wonky schedules like me. lol
I hope everyone is having a great Monday and that the week is a good one. | <urn:uuid:0d5ac99e-00b7-45c4-a3f1-9eba1d799e70> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://shutupandstitch.blogspot.com/2009/11/hanging-in-there.html | 2017-06-27T15:29:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.989589 | 329 | [

WITS Cork – International Women’s Day 2017
Wednesday 8th March 2017 @ Workbench, Bank of Ireland, Cork
WITS Cork and The WorkBench of Bank of Ireland in Cork celebrated International Women’s Day with a breakfast on March 8, 2017. There were around 10 women and 3 men attendees.
Breda Kenny from CIT presented the importance of being ready for the change. She said that everything is changing and we need to prepare ourselves to keep us in business. She provided data relating to female entrepreneurs and self-employed. Breda stated that women do not consider themselves as entrepreneurs. She remarked on the importance of gender proofing images and messages to the younger generations. She suggested that women should not wait for female-only programs to become entrepreneurs. Breda suggested to women to use all the available help that they already have. She closed the presentation mentioning that we all can have a good idea but we should know how to incorporate the new technologies to be competitive.
Magaly Mora presented about WITS, the book Lab coats and lace and all the membership options. And she presented statistics and data relating to being a woman working in societies with cultural dimensions from GeerfHostede of masculinity (with a very high level) and long term orientation (with a short value). Magaly presented statistics of women in Engineering for Mexico (19%) and Ireland (15%). She presented some examples of the stereotypes and news that you can get from Google if you search for women + engineer + Mexico/Ireland. And shared her experiences regarding stereotypes about taking job opportunities, trainings, maternity leave and being part of women groups since University.
Ita O’Sullivan mentioned the activities in Cork around the International Women Day, and some references to check: Super-woman pose, websites and online training.
The speakers and attendees were invited to share a networking session over tea or coffee, fruits, pastries and biscuits at the beginning and at the end of the event. | <urn:uuid:a64df753-3ce8-4e07-85fe-bb81fe34f03e> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://witsireland.com/international-womens-day-breakfast/ | 2017-06-27T15:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.960018 | 406 | [

Turkish Van Cat
male Turkish Van cat, 15 year old
Photograph by Helen Filatova. Some rights reserved.
The Turkish Van is a sturdy, medium sized domestic cat breed. Vans have long, muscular bodies with medium-long legs and round and well tufted paws. Adult males weigh on average 14-16 pounds while females 12-14 pounds. Turkish Van cats have short heads with medium large, well furnished ears with rounded tips. Their eyes are large, oval and set slightly oblique. They are either blue or light amber; many Turkish Vans are born odd eyed, with one of their eyes being blue and the other light amber. The coat is semi long, fine and silky to the touch. Vans have characteristic bushy tails that give them a fox appearance and are usually colored differently to the rest of their body.
The traditional coat pattern is chalk-white body with colored markings to the head and the tail. Over the years Van cats have been bred in other colors including cream, black, blue etc.
Turkish Van cats are famous for their love of water. Many have been found to swim in the bath, a pool, a pond or even join their owners in the shower. These are loyal, loving and intelligent cats. They will give their owners head butts, follow them around like dogs and get involved in everything they do. They are very playful and get on well with other pets, but they will always want to be the boss. Some cats have been known to be quite destructive, shredding curtains, scratching furniture, knocking vases down etc. Sometimes this behavior is deliberate as they are trying to get their owners' attention.
Turkish Van cats get along with children and pets and would suit a family. This breed enjoys the outdoors, especially if there are areas with water, but is also able to adapt to apartment life.
It is one of the few semi longhaired breeds that requires little grooming. Most individuals of this breed enjoy water so giving them a bath would be more of a cat-owner bonding experience than a problem. There are no breed specific genetic problems.
One of the oldest naturally occurring cat breeds, it originates in the Lake Van region of Turkey. These cats were "discovered" in the mid 1950's by two English women who were taking a holiday in the Lake Van area. They took a couple of kittens back to England and starting breeding them. The breed was recognized in Britain in 1969. It did not make to the United States until 1982 and was officially registered there only in 1985. | <urn:uuid:992191c5-eb65-4b1c-bfd6-69f1fa83112b> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.wotcat.com/breed/Turkish%20Van%20Cat.html | 2017-06-27T15:51:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321458.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627152510-20170627172510-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.977446 | 522 | [

Recollections of modernist Art contributed subconsciously to shape the conceptual idea for this 30,000 seat soccer stadium supported by circulation elements and combined with a 6,000 seat track and field stadium. The architectural footprint of this international competition entry winner could be attributed to a certain visual and compositional order evident in examples of abstract art as precedent. This footprint extruded into a section and capped by a suspended steel canopy, is juxtaposed against the distant ground of a mountain range, and read as a symbol realized from a synthesis of multiple themes.

It's a city styled adventure with some really nice details and a massive background that is unreachable but gives the map a cool touch.
Duke has bought an appartment in Puerto Madero to enjoy his vacations but it seems that the building needs an exterminator!
Once again somebody has to pay...

Well, Darkcaleb is well known around the DN3D forums but not as a mapper.
But now he has released his first map.....and what a map!.
Duke wakes up after a hard days night and everything is changed. The colors is weird and outside cars are flying!

Friend and Foe: The twists and turns of Canada-U.S. relations
There have been some epic fails in the relationship between Ottawa and Washington.
Like that time when Soviet ships were steaming to Cuba with nuclear missiles in 1962.
President John F. Kennedy had provided top secret photographs to Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to show him the seriousness of the crisis. Diefenbaker shrugged and called for an independent committee to determine who was right. Kennedy never forgave him and reduced Diefenbaker’s title to a one-word description of mid-level body part.
Or that time in 1983, when the first Prime Minister Trudeau was on his quest for world peace. He got into a shouting match with then-President Ronald Reagan at a meeting in London. That led to then-Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Ronald S. Lauder to say Trudeau’s peace efforts were “akin to pot-induced behavior by an erratic leftist.”
The prime minister responded that he didn’t much care about the words of a “Pentagon pipsqueak.”

So things haven’t always been great and they weren’t great recently under Stephen Harper’s government.
A mere two years ago, the Canadian government essentially told the U.S. ambassador to go get stuffed.
In April 2014, Bruce Heyman began his tenure as the president’s representative in Ottawa and within 10 days of his arrival he was put on a diplomatic “do not call” list. He was shunned and repeatedly humiliated by the Harper government.
Heyman, a gregarious financier from Chicago, expected better. After all, his predecessor, David Jacobson and his lively wife, Julie, had become the toast of the town.
Like Heyman, Jacobson was a lawyer from Chicago who had raised big money for President Barack Obama. Julie Jacobson and Vickie Heyman were likewise similar in their enthusiasm for the job and both were vibrant emissaries on the cultural front. So Heyman had every right to ask: “What gives?”
He did and he didn’t much like the answer. Harper, it turned out, was as mad as hell at Washington, primarily over Obama’s dithering on Keystone XL. Ten days after Heyman settled into the stately Lornado, the residence of the U.S. ambassador, Obama again delayed a decision on Keystone XL because of a court case in Nevada.
Harper went sideways. He accused Obama of following ‘narrow politics” instead of the will of the American people. This added to the increasingly hostile menu of insults aimed at the American president from the Prime Minister’s Office.
Harper was enraged and decided Heyman would be the dog that he kicked when he came home at night.
According to sources, the PMO let it be known not only to cabinet but to the senior bureaucracy, that Heyman was not to be made to feel welcomed.
Senior Canadian officials followed those directions with gusto. Cabinet ministers refused to meet with the new ambassador; Deputy ministers would meet with him, but some would only read to him from a prepared statement, ending the meeting without questions or conversation.
Some went further to push Heyman’s nose into the diplomatic mess. At times, meetings would be cancelled just five minutes before they were scheduled. It was a deliberate, if not childish, snub that was meant to humiliate him.
If the Harper circle expected this would shame Heyman into being a more compliant and contrite diplomat, they were mistaken. Heyman simply did an end-run and got out of town.
He went to the provincial capitals and engaged directly with the premiers and the provincial bureaucracies.
At a certain point in all this, almost everyone thought: “What the hell is going on?”
It’s hard to pinpoint the moment, but the chill started to lift in the fall of 2014.
Canada wanted to be seen to be joining the fight against the Islamic State and, suddenly, Heyman became a hail-fellow-well-met. Canadian cabinet ministers started talking to him and American cabinet ministers and governors started coming to Ottawa. It was almost as if the clouds had parted.
Harper was still in a sullen funk. He cancelled a North American summit in 2015 on the grounds that he had little to say to Obama while the Keystone XL decision remained undone.
Heyman moved more easily in Ottawa, but had not had so much as a 15-minute meeting with Harper.
That’s in sharp contrast to not only to Jacobson, who famously went snowshoeing with Laureen Harper, but to the last Democrat to occupy the residence, Gordon Giffin.
Back in the 1990s, Giffin was a larger than life diplomat, who was known to knock back very good scotch with former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, among others, and who apparently still does.
It’s not that Heyman was little Nell being tied to the tracks by “Snidely” Harper.
He’s from Chicago after all and he was a partner in Goldman Sachs — two things that hardly make a person shy or ill at ease in a crowd.
Heyman’s style occasionally offended some delicate Canadian political sensibilities. Former Industry Minister James Moore is a bear of a man, but was hurt that Heyman talked openly about what America wanted on border policies.
In Canada, you see, public discussions are expected to be entirely private.
Today, Heyman’s life is immeasurably easier, even if the issues aren’t.
The American ambassador and his wife Vicky are again the toast of the town. He already has a close personal relationship with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and, for the first time since the late night scotch swilling at 24 Sussex, an American president is hosting a Canadian prime minister at a glittering state dinner at the White House.
Keystone XL is dead, the softwood lumber agreement is in danger of unwinding and the fight against the Islamic State is inconclusive. But, at least everyone seems to feel better about it.
For Heyman, and Canada, it would have been better if these good vibrations had come a bit earlier. After all, Obama has all of 10 months left in office and really can’t do all that much for us.
But, there is an opening now for Canada to do something for ourselves.
As long as official Washington likes us, we could re-engage — not only in Washington but in the various states as well.
Our influence in the world lies squarely with the proposition that we can whisper sweet nothings into American political ears in a way that other countries can’t, and that we can decode American-speak better than most.
It would seem a good time to ramp this up. Doors don’t stay open forever.

This was surely the cast here. I have been doing a lot of research on streams to fish, due to being sick over the last few weeks. Heath and I met up for a half day of fishing last weekend. We made a short stop at Cabelas in Hamburg, Pennsylvania to grab a new Buff… you can never have enough. We stopped at a spring creek where a scientist had planted trout eggs dozens of years ago just to see what would happen. We spotted tons of wild brown trout and rainbow trout. One brown trout was in excess of 28 inches for sure! It was simply amazing. We took good numbers up nice sized fish, but the one in the photo takes the prize. There were redds everywhere so we stayed out of the water. It was an amazing day at a unique place.

Live Christmas trees take years to reach a marketable size, giving plenty of time for them to be repositories for grass pollens, herbicides, molds, and other irritants, according to Michael Alexander, M.D., of Niagara Clinical Research in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and colleagues.
The act of both bringing the tree into the home and taking it out can release allergens that can make the season considerably less jolly for allergy sufferers, the authors reported at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology meeting.
In a small controlled study, the investigators found that three of four atopic patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis who thought that the season had been over for months reported needing to take antihistamines, nasal steroids, or eye drops for symptom relief while there was a tree in the house.
When the tree left, so did their symptoms, the authors said.
Although the findings might gladden the hearts of artificial Christmas tree manufacturers, the authors pointed out that fake firs too can harbor mold, pollen, and dust accumulated during storage.
For their study, the authors recruited from a clinical practice atopic patients who had symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis towards either pollen or mold allergens. The participants were asked to complete questionnaires documenting their symptoms before, during, and after introduction of a Christmas tree into their homes.
For controls, the authors recruited non-atopic Jehovah's Witnesses, who don't celebrate Christmas, and asked them to keep similar records.
The participants returned to the office seven to 28 days after the after Christmas, their symptoms and diaries were reviewed, and they were asked about any adverse events.
The investigators took air samples from the study homes, and obtained samples of tree trunk deposits from both real and artificial trees.
The air samples were collected at 15 L/minute for 10 minutes from a position about one meter off the floor and one to two meters away from the tree. The authors also took reference samples from another floor of the house or from the most distant room.
Of the 12 patients recruited, four completed their records of symptoms for all three study time points (before, during, and after), as did seven of the controls.
The investigators found that independent sample t-tests showed significant between-group differences for conjunctival itching (P=0.001), conjunctival erythema (P=0.029), nasal itching (P=0.005) and sneezing (P=0.001), respectively.
Examination of the means showed that the atopic patients' symptoms were worse than those of the control group, and three of the four atopic participants who completed their diaries said that they had to take either an antihistamine, nasal spray or an eye drop for relief of their symptoms.
The air sampling showed that when the tree was both brought in and dragged out, shedding needles behind it, there were increases in airborne mold spores.
In contrast, air sampling in a room with a faux fir initially showed low levels of mold spores, but when the tree was dismantled, it released higher mold spore, pine, and ragweed pollen levels.
Analysis of the spores revealed that the majority were species of Cladosporidium, Alternaria, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and smuts.
The mold, pollen, and other airborne irritants that Christmas trees harbor "become an organic part of the symbolism of the Yuletide season," the authors wrote. "Atopic patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis may need to use precaution when Christmas trees are installed or when removed following the Christmas season," they wrote.

HP Dx2300, E2140 is powered by 1.6Ghz Pentium Dual Core, 512 MB DDR2 667 memory, 80 GB of hard disk, and comes with 3 years of warranty. It also comes with an activated and licensed Microsoft Windows XP Pro.
I find the system very stable. I leave it on for days without shutting down, and have no worries that it would overheat or anything, as the cooling system seems to be very good. As well as very quiet too. Unlike my two other computers where you could hear the hum of the cooling fans, HP Dx2300's cooling system is very quiet. Except for the few a few seconds at boot up, where the cooling system speeds up, but then eventually becomes quiet.
It has a built in speaker that plays not only beeps, but even mp3s, and you can hear your videos. But the volume may not be too loud, so you might consider buying good headphones or speaker systems.
This microtower has relatively good expansion. It is not very stylish in its casing, but it makes up for its usability. I've heard that it is as good as Dell's Optiplex line.
Dx2300 is also Microsoft Office 2007 ready. That means you'll have a 30 day trial version installed, and you just have to buy the license to activate it.
Here are some expansion slots if you plan on upgrading its features:
Inside the Microtower
1x PCI Express 16x Lanes
2x PCI Express 1x Lane
2x DDR2 memory slots
4x SATA connectors (2 free) PSU Connectors

During the time of the Judges in Israel, the Israelites decided that they no longer wanted to be a holy nation separate from all the others. Instead, they wished to have a king just like the other nations. This was the gravest act of rejection that the people of Israel committed toward God, for they were to be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests, with God Himself as their King. But they wanted an earthly king...and God gave them what they wanted.
Today in America, the day after the Presidential election, it should be a glorious day, for we have elected a black president for the first time in the history of our nation. Yet instead of being a day of rejoicing for black Americans (and all Americans), it really is a day of sadness. We wanted Obama as our president and God gave us what we wanted. So why is today such a horrible day? Why should we not rejoice at having a black president? Well, we should rejoice at having a black president, but not this black president. This black president-elect is a notorious supporter of abortion and infanticide (not to mention that his vice-president elect has sold his soul to Satan and has given much scandal to Catholics everywhere). This black president is in the pocket of Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion provider in the world and it is a fact that not only was Planned Parenthood founded by the horribly racist eugenicist, Margaret Sanger, but abortions are the greatest killer of black people in this country. “The oppressed has become the oppressor.”
Our country has become so morally depraved that we have elected as our leader a man who advocates infanticide. Shades of King Herod and Pharaoh. Mark Twain was correct in saying that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
I’ve also heard that Obama won the Catholic vote. I pray for all the Catholics who blatantly flaunted the teaching of the Catholic Church and put their immortal souls at risk by cooperating in this grave evil.
Well, you asked for it America. And you got it. I believe it was Billy Graham’s daughter who said concerning our country’s immorality, “If God does not judge America, then He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” | <urn:uuid:4b523147-3af5-423b-a868-45ae2314e413> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://irishanddangerous.blogspot.com/2008/11/well-you-asked-for-it.html | 2017-06-24T13:46:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320263.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624133941-20170624153941-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.978937 | 479 | [

Anger at early Northern Line closures
Monday, 08 February 2010
THE Northern line is to shut early on weekdays for 17 months so rail signals can be upgraded.
The Underground line which runs through stations in Wandsworth, Lambeth and Southwark, into central London and the City, will close at 11.30pm, north of Kennington from Monday to Thursday from July.
The early weekday closure will mean that there will be fewer trains in the evening, probably from around 8.30pm, as they have to be returned to their depots.
Stations between Stockwell and Morden with also be closed for 16 weekends from March.
Tube Lines, the firm responsible for upgrading the line, has also applied to close the same section early from July until November 2011, but has not been given permission by Transport for London.
A Tube Lines spokesman said: “We requested a mixture of extended engineering hours (EEH) from 11.30pm until start of traffic and 52-hour part line weekend closures.
“The use of EEH is considered the best way of balancing the need to manage your work efficiently whilst minimising inconvenience to passengers.
“We need London Underground to confirm the full timetable of closures to ensure on-time completion of the line upgrade.”
London’s Mayor Boris Johnson is understood to be upset at Tube Lines request for additional closures.
His transport adviser Kulveer Ranger said: “We are angry because this is where we feel that Tube Lines have not really learnt a lot from what has been a debacle in terms of delivering the Jubilee line update, for which they are also responsible.”
Commuters south of the river have already had to deal with more than two years of Victoria line closures.
Work on both lines is not scheduled for completion until 2012. | <urn:uuid:c116825c-2ea1-4a65-9c58-d6676ff1bf20> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://kenningtonnews.blogspot.com/2010/02/anger-at-early-northern-line-closures.html | 2017-06-25T08:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320476.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625083108-20170625103108-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.967916 | 378 | [

Dear Sir/Madam I am looking for a relative, my Dad, whom I have not seen since I was three years old.I am unlikely to meet him, given the passage of time.My mother is 88 years old, so there is a good chance that he is no longer alive. All that I know is that he was my Mum's boss at Canadian Vickers in Montreal during the war, roughly 1942-1949.Although they were well known to each other for a long time, they never married. It was wartime.A crazy time.
My reason for this search is to complete my family geneology.What happened in the past is history, but you can appreciate, it is my history.I have extensive information on my mother's side of the family, but none on my father's.
The only other information I can offer, is that I am named after either or both of my father's sisters...Marguerite Marcelle.I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have some information for me.Thank you | <urn:uuid:b7126d54-778b-436f-b9b0-5be49ea68758> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.genealogy.com/forum/regional/countries/topics/canada/montreal/1613/ | 2017-06-26T04:17:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320669.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626032235-20170626052235-00559.warc.gz | en | 0.985447 | 211 | [

Our Record-Breaking DayFriday, July 19, 2013
Saw this on a friend’s Facebook page: “Today I just broke my personal record for the most consecutive days lived!”
Okay, it’s Friday, maybe it’s been a long week, maybe you’re worn out and frazzled and fried and maybe you’ve been knocked around a bit. Maybe things haven’t worked out the way you planned when you started this week.
That’s the way it goes sometimes.
On the other hand . . . You’re still upright, still walking, talking, breathing. That ought to count for something. If today you set a new record for consecutive days lived, smile and say, “Thank you, Lord.”
“Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13).
It’s good be in the land of the living.
We won’t be here forever.
Might as well enjoy our record-breaking day. | <urn:uuid:9238ce56-c026-4ebe-90f6-8fa3686bfc28> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.christianity.com/blogs/dr-ray-pritchard/our-record-breaking-day.html | 2017-06-26T22:39:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320869.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626221252-20170627001252-00639.warc.gz | en | 0.913813 | 240 | [

We survey the literature on payout policy, with a particular emphasis on developments in the last two decades. Of the traditional motives of why firms pay out (agency, signaling, and taxes), the cross-sectional empirical evidence is most persuasive in favor of agency considerations. Studies centered on the May 2003 dividend tax cut confirm that differences in the taxation of dividends and capital gains have only a second-order impact on setting payout policy. None of the three traditional explanations can account for secular changes in how payouts are made over the last 30 years, during which repurchases have replaced dividends as the prime vehicle for corporate payouts. Other payout motives such as changes in compensation practices and management incentives are better able to explain the observed variation in payout patterns over time than the traditional motives. The most recent evidence suggests that further insights can be gained from viewing payout decisions as an integral part of a firm’s larger financial ecosystem, with important implications for financing, investment, and risk management.

The popular Vincent Mayor for the last two years said she would need to resign from the role in the coming week, handing over the reins to a fellow councillor filling in for Deputy Mayor Warren McGrath, who will be holidays, until the October 19 local elections.
‘I managed to get on the budget a full range of things that I really wanted to implement: things that I think would really liven the place up, like the upgrade of the Leederville town centre,’ she said.
‘We’ve got all these items on the budget and hopefully they will happen: even smaller ones like the Vietnamese monument and our first Islamic festival (EID, in October).’
Ms MacTiernan said she was ‘energised’ by the prospect of rebuilding the Labor Party.
‘Ironically, there is much more opportunity to do that from the Opposition after a defeat than there is when one has won an election,’ she said.
‘Whilst you lose the influence that you have when you are in government, it’s not as if there aren’t many good things that you can do and certainly reforming and rebuilding the Labor Party is part of that.
‘I have been in opposition before so I understand the role and I’ll be in there doing my bit.’
She said one of her first jobs in the new role would be creating a ‘very active, dynamic office where we can be advocates for the local community’.
‘I think people want some energetic representation,’ Ms MacTiernan said.
‘I also want to create some opportunities for people to really participate in the political process.’
She said she did not have an eye on a particular portfolio at this stage.
‘I want to learn my way around the place a bit before I start putting my hand up for things,’ she said.
Ms MacTiernan said she was undaunted by the prospect of the constant flying to and from Canberra that lay ahead. | <urn:uuid:2390f804-38c6-4619-aae4-59f5a3750840> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.communitynews.com.au/guardian-express/news/battle-won-war-lost/ | 2017-06-27T17:19:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321497.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627170831-20170627190831-00719.warc.gz | en | 0.978743 | 426 | [
