Background: Font color:
I gasped for breath, sucking in my stomach and using all my will power continued jogging along the stony path that went around the lake.
God, I hate my brother.
You see, we had this random bet during dinner yesterday and if he won then I had to jog six rounds around the lake and if I won then he had to ask Kenny out.
I'm sure you all must have figured out by now what the outcome of the bet was.
Stupid tosser. I bet he cheated or something.
That's the only rational explanation.
"SETH!" I roared, collapsing on the damp grass besides the path, clutching my sides. "I FUCKING CURSE YOU."
"Now, now." I saw Seth smirk, "Let's not be rude."
"I wish you die a painful death." I mumbled, closing my eyes, hoping this was all a bad dream and I was actually lying on my lovely bed peacefully.
"Love you too." I didn't even need to open my eyes to know he was smirking. I could just hear it in his voice.
"Fuck off."
"You do know what I do is because I love you right?" Seth asked and I groaned. Great. Now he was going to guilt trip me.
"I mean, exercising is important Rocky," he went on, "especially if you want to live a long life." His voice turned sad. "I've already lost a lot of people, Rocks. I don't want to lose you too."
Oh wonderful.
Now I feel bad.
"Sorry," I murmured, opening my eyes to find a desolated face. "You know, that deep, deep, very deep down, I appreciate all that you do for me."
His face broke out into a grin which literally spelled, 'ha-ha I've won and I can't believe you fell for that'.
"I knew you'd understand." I made a face. Uh huh. Yeah, sure. "Now since you're done, how about we go back to the castle, eh?"
Yeah, sure. That seems like a good idea if you know, I could walk. Oh god, everything hurts.
How do people run for fun? It sounds like some sort of demonic ritual to be honest. Like, hey, run six rounds and you get to meet Satan for free and ask him for a favour! Woo hoo!
Just ignore that. I never really make sense in the morning.
Yeah, yeah. I know, I'm in the Quidditch team and I shouldn't be talking. But you play Quidditch sitting down. I don't see why you need to run.
"No. I'm not moving."
"I'm hungry!"
"I'm dying and all you care about is your stomach?" I screeched. Well, it was more like a whimper but we all know what it was meant to be.
Seth contemplated for a moment. "Yes?"
Ladies and Gentlemen. My brother.
I turned over, my cheek pressing to the grass and shut my eyes once more. "Go away." Albeit, my position was uncomfortable, with the small grass blades poking my face, hands and legs but I wasn't going anywhere with my brother.
"Fine," he huffed, "Stay here and suffer."
"I will." I shot back.
I heard Seth walking away and I suddenly wished I hadn't sent him away. Now I'd have to stay in this pokey grass for a good amount of time before I could go show my gob to my brother.
I sighed and closed my eyes, taking in the entire environment around me quietly. It was still early in the morning, so the there was no noise to drown out the sound of russet leaves on the ground rustling and the birds chirping.
A sudden gust of wind blew and that's when it hit me. Why the hell was I out here in the middle of fucking November? I was already sleeping with three pairs of socks at night and somehow I had mindlessly wandered into the open only wearing track pants and a windcheaters?
Seth. This is all his fault. Bloody tosser.
I got up, sitting cross-legged in the grass, my head in my arms.
Too. Lazy. To. Move.
"You look like you could use some help." I looked up to see none other than Nathan Root.
"Oh, hello." I muttered, not looking him in the eye. I was too pissed off to interact with anybody from Albus's past properly, especially if they happened to be Bitch Aimee's cousin.
Only now do I really realise how vast can the gene pool be.
"So, how come you're here early in the morning?" he continued cheerfully, "I don't think I've ever seen you before."
"And you'll probably never see me again." I replied curtly, "Excuse me, but I have to get ready. See you around." And then I promptly walked off.
I had only taken about five steps, when Nathan grabbed me by the arm and turned me around. He inspected me closely.
"Now, I'm no detective but I can see that you're pissed at me and I'd like to know why."
"I'm not pissed at you." It wasn't a lie. I really wasn't angry at him. I was furious with Aimee and I was just generally cross with the problem that had been handed to me.
I tried to walk past but he held me back, looking at me, his face confused. "Okay seriously, why are you annoyed with me?" His sky blue eyes were looking at me pleadingly. Seriously. How did that boy ever get into Slytherin? Kid should have been a Hufflepuff.
"It's not you, okay!" I burst out, "It's your bloody cousin!"
"Aimee?" He asked, confused. "What does she have to do anything with this?"
Everything. She has every fucking thing to do with our annoying little bad boy's stupid little temper tantrum.
Against my will, I told him the whole story of the encounter between me and Aimee while he stood there in the cold November wind, looking more and more flabbergasted with each word I uttered. I even had a thought to get into a full blown bitching session, but subconsciously decided not to. Personally I didn't think Nathan would appreciate it if I went ape shit on his lovely little cousin.
"I'm sorry." Nathan finally said, after a prolonged silence, "I'm sorry for what Aimee said to you."
"Appreciate it." I gave him a wry look. "But it doesn't help and quite frankly, for some strange reason I'm really cross with you too so I'd appreciate it if you don't talk to me for a few days." Nathan nodded and before he had the chance to reply – I walked off.
God, I miss the days where my biggest problem was transfiguration and Quidditch.
* * *
I lay on my bed on my stomach, holed up beneath my soft white comforter, my head shoved into the pillow and my long black locks were splayed all over the place. My hands were spread out over the bed as if I was approaching someone for a bear hug and my feet lying lazily on the edge.
In short – I was in one of those moods where I just generally didn't feel like existing. I didn't want to eat. I didn't want to read. I didn't want to talk. I didn't want to do anything.
"Come on, Rocky!" I heard Kenny's voice. "Get off your lazy ass or we'll be late for Hogsmeade!"
I grunted in response.
"I don't want to go." I snapped. "You guys go ahead without me."
"Why don't you want to go?" Rose asked from the door, looking concerned.
I sat up in bed, thoroughly annoyed. "The last time I noticed this was our dormitory not an interrogation room."
"Okay, then." Rose, looking miffed walked out of the room.
I groaned silently. "Apologise to her from my side when you meet her." Kenny nodded and walked out silently.
I flopped back onto the bed, staring at the odd patterns on the wooden ceiling. None of them made sense. Then again, when had anything made sense? Just when you start to understand somebody or something, the entire story changes and suddenly your back to square one and your brain's just sort of fucked up then.
Yippee for fucked up brains.
Just then I heard a door slam. I looked up to see Nell come out of the bathroom, which had been her safe sanctuary for the past few days, using her soft (really, it's the softest thing you'll find), rubbing her blonde hair dry.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, with a hint of disappointment in her voice. The displeasure in her voice annoyed me.
"What?" I said, my voice snarky. "Upset you're not alone?"
"Sort of, yes. I was hoping that I'd get some time off from the nagging all of you have been doing. So seeing you here wasn't exactly a joyful moment for me." Nell shot back.
Nell hadn't exactly been a pocketful of sunshine these days after her break-up with Louis. She had been angry, hostile and most of all a crying mess. Out of twenty four hours of the day – at least 12 of them were spent crying and the rest of them were spent yelling at us and poor unsuspecting first years. I didn't blame her, but since I wasn't exactly in the nicest of moods today, I was in no frame of mind to console her and make her cry again like I had done the past few days.
"Sorry to be of inconvenience." I turned over, so I didn't have to look at her face. "I'll stay out of your way."
"Please do." She spat.
A few moments passed until she mumbled a soft sorry and I retaliated. But none of us bothered to engage in conversation.
Looks like a wonderful day out.
It was around noon and I was bored out of my mind.
Nell had fallen asleep a little while after our conversation and I hadn't done anything else except stare at the ceiling or occasionally do a little leg exercise to stimulate my muscles so that I wouldn't feel like a lazy fuck.
I could have done the pile of homework that was lying on my desk whispering 'do me' (no pun intended), in my head but I ignored its virtual cries and lay in bed.
Gosh my life sucked.
Before my body could protest, I quickly got out of bed and slipped on a pair of warm skinny jeans and a navy blue hoodie along with black boots which went up to just below my knee. My red scarf went around my neck and I was good to go.
I slipped out of the bedroom, careful not to wake Nell and walked towards the giant open doors of the castle which was the sole reason that the cool air was touring our castle.
Following the cobbled path, I began making my way to Hogsmeade, regretting my decision immensely as the cold air blew in my face.
Damn it.
Reluctantly I trudged forward. It was when I was at the halfway point (it was a self-appointed title) when I heard, "Hey."
I whipped my head back, bad idea since all the hair whacked into my face painfully and squinted my eyes to see who had willingly made conversation with me.
I stared at the green eyed, bad boy of the year, surprised. Before I could think of a response which should have been 'hey' or something like 'hello', I blurted out, "Are you following me?"
Wonderful, Coral. Really.
"Erm, no. I was heading to Hogsmeade."
"Oh, okay then." I gave him a last look and continued to march forward. Right now, I really couldn't care about anything – much less about making conversation with him.
We walked in silence for a bit, with Albus trailing behind me until he said, "So, who are you cross with?"
"Excuse me?"
"Who," he repeated, "are you cross with?" I stopped in my track and he caught up to me, his calm yet stormy green eyes boring into mine, "It's clear that you're annoyed at something."
"Right." Annoyed at the fact that he wasn't the only perceptive one in our duo, I snapped, "well, I don't think its any of your business."
There wasn't a flash of anger or any hurt etched over his face. He simply nodded and began walking ahead.
Right. Now I feel bad. Should I apologise? Maybe not. I was irked because of him anyway. Well, not him per say but his ex-girlfriend.
"Hey!" I called, jogging towards him, "Wait up!" I reached at where he was standing and panted slightly, "Sorry I snapped. Lot of things have been going on."
So much for not apologising.
"It's okay." He nodded and then there was a silence. It was just the both of us standing there as the entrance of the village as noises of laughter filled the air as kids rushed about chasing each other, enjoying the rare November sun.
"So where do you want to go?" I asked, suddenly. Where the fuck did that come from. Merlin, its like the dinner thing all over again. But something good did come out of that so I'm not complaining about this slip up either.
"You really don't need to hang out with me." He replied, looking a tad bit surprised. I'm not sure why really since I have been inviting him for dinner and we have been hanging a lot in an old transfiguration classroom. Silently, but nonetheless hanging out.
"Well, I don't want to hang out with any of my other friends and I don't want to be a loner either so its just you left. So, I'll ask again. Where do you want to go?" I responded, my tone snarky.
"Wherever." He said, after contemplating for a few moments. "But why are you annoyed with your friends?" I groaned and began to walk forward.
"You're not the counsellor here so shut it."
"Seriously?" I couldn't hide my tone of disgust. "You're buying cockroach clusters?" To follow up on my disgust, I mimed puking into the shelf.
Albus looked visibly offended. "They taste nice."
"Yeah, as nice as Mrs Norris's poop."
"Must you say that?" Albus put the packet of cockroach clusters back on the shelf, glaring at me slightly. "Now, I won't ever be able to eat these without thinking of Filch's cat."
I snorted. "Well good thing I said it then."
"You need to tape your mouth shut while I'm buying chocolates." My reply was on the tip of my tongue but I was more surprised with the fact that Albus was actually talking and well sort of joking around.
"Nobody would be there to save you from your heinous decision making skills then." I answered innocently, trying not to laugh at his offended expression.
"Oh yeah?" Albus challenged me, his eyes burning with the desire to make sure I was wrong, "Which chocolate would you suggest then?"
"I don't know," I looked around the colourful shelves which were decorated with various swirly designs and various coloured streamers, "Chocolate Frogs?"
"They're made with too much chocolate."
"Gosh really?" I responded sardonically, raising an eyebrow, at which he gave a brief laugh, "Now I know why you're one of the smartest in our year!"
"Very funny." He picked up the cockroach clusters again, "But I think I'm just going to buy these."
"Please don't." I was practically begging now. Trust me, I was doing him a favour. They tasted absolutely disgusting. They left such a bitter taste in your mouth which took forever to get out. I couldn't get rid of the taste until I had eaten dinner and toothpaste.
Yeah, toothpaste. Now do you get how bad it tastes?
He shot me a look which said 'you can't change my mind' and then began walking towards the counter, rummaging his pocket for any money he could find.
For a moment, I felt jealous and angry. He had all the money and the love in the world he wanted and yet he was sulking and complaining about everything in his life.
He just had it all so easy and yet he found a reason to complain. Suddenly I felt like yelling at him. How could he? How could he be so selfish? How could he ignore his family like that?
Didn't he know that I would give anything to have money and a loving family?
No. Of course he didn't.
Suddenly all that anger drained away and I stood there clenching my fists, holding them to my side and stared at the back of the boy's head who I had wanted to punch just moments ago.
Cool it, Coral. Just cool it.
You can't go around blaming the rest of the world for the problems that you have. You can't. Albus has other problems. Just because people are better off doesn't mean they're problem free.
Albus is a spoilt brat.
Before I could think ill of Albus again I rushed after him. "Oh come on. They're cockroaches! I mean, have you seen them? They don't even look appealing."
"Oh and frogs do?" He shot back playfully. His tone brought a smile to my lips but all those thoughts were still swirling through my head. I shook my head and tried to concentrate on what was going on here.
Before I could reply, I heard a scream. I turned to see Nell standing there in her worse clothes she owned (a pair of loose denim jeans and a baggy t-shirt) with her curly blonde hair uncombed which was sticking up in various places, looking like as though she had stuck her fingers into an electrical socket. Her red face was facing my best guy friend Louis Weasley who was looking scared shitless.
"OH, SO IT'S MY FAULT?" She yelled in his face. Louis flinched.
"Uh-oh." I whispered.
"What's going on?" Albus whispered, leaning in slightly, "Why is she pissed?"
"She thinks Louis cheated on her." I explained quietly.
Albus snorted loudly which in normal circumstances would have probably grabbed the attention of the whole store. Luckily for us they were all focused on the drama between Louis and Nell.
"What are you laughing for?"
"Is your friend high or something?"
Albus looked at me incredulously. "Can't she see how desperately Louis is in love with her? Why on earth would she think that he cheated on her?"
"I don't know." I shrugged, although secretly I agreed with him. "Maybe she found some reason to think so."
Albus raised a brow and shot me look a look.
"Okay fine," I conceded grudgingly, "It's pretty stupid but what do you expect me to do?"
"Convince her that he didn't."
"Yeah she's going to listen to me."
"She might."
"Okay!" I raised my hand up and looked at him feeling slightly annoyed, "I'm not doing anything. Its their relationship and they can sort it out." I looked at them again where both of them were now engaged in a shouting match. "Besides they'll figure it out. They're meant for each other."
"Your naïve attitude on this situation is astounding."
"Shut up."
"Well," He looked at me expectantly, "What are we going to do with poor Louis here?" Nell had just stormed out of the store leaving Louis behind in her wake, looking devastated.
"We can't leave him here. He's our friend." I paused. "And cousin."
"Right." Albus nodded assertively. "We'll just tell him to hang out with us."
"Well, I'll go talk to him and you pay for this." He handed me the cockroach clusters and some money and headed over to Louis.
I walked towards the counter feeling surprised at how Albus had taken charge of the whole situation. Just two weeks ago the boy was sulking around the place and now he had strutted towards Louis as though he ran the world.
I don't know how but Albus Potter was slowly coming out of his shell.
* * *
"I mean how could she ever think I cheated on her?" Louis cried out, taking a huge gulp of his butterbeer.
Thank Merlin butterbeer can't get you drunk. If it could Louis would now be on the side of the road, lying on the stone cold ground mumbling about Nell.
"I don't know," I said, taking a sip of my own drink, "Have you tried talking to her?"
"Oh no, Rocky," Louis snarled, sarcasm dripping from every word he spoke, "I was leading her on saying I did cheat on her."
"Look, mate." Albus inserted quietly after being silent for like ever, I mean he hadn't spoken until he had convinced Louis to come with us, "Just leave it. You can't do anything about it now."
"I can sleep on it." Louis replied, dejected. Poor Lou. He looked absolutely terrible. His blonde hair was dishevelled completely, sticking up in various directions while his face just looked saggy and tired.
"Well go on then. No point moping about Hogsmeade." I replied.
Louis pushed his chair back. "Sayonara."
I raised my hand. "See you then."
Louis left and Albus and I sat silently across from each other simply listening to the noise of the usual chaos in Three Broomsticks.
"Well that was that of that I guess." Albus said, tapping his fingers on the wooden table, looking outside the window.
"I suppose." I sighed. To be honest I was kind of annoyed at the whole thing Nell and Louis thing. I mean, it was such a stupid fight and now all of us were stuck in the middle of it. Obviously nobody was directly involved but them fighting affected the whole group.
For the last week this is how it had been. Kenny would be comforting Nell so she wouldn't talk to Louis or even make eye contact with him when she was around. Rose would be in a right mess because she didn't know who to choose. While Jake wouldn't talk to Nell because she hurt Louis and Scorpius and I would be wondering how the fuck to solve the whole issue.
"If you're so worried about them, why don't you just fix it?" Albus finally looked at me, his expression sombre.
"Why do I have to fix everything?" I asked, feeling annoyed. What was with him pestering me with all this fixing nonsense today?
I think I liked him a lot better when he kept his mouth shut.
"Because you like to. It's a good thing to help people." Albus replied simply. "You literally go around looking for things to fix, Coral. So why are you acting as if fixing Chanel and Louis's problem is such a big issue?"
I stared at him, gobsmacked. I didn't have the foggiest idea of what to say because I didn't know myself.
Why lie Coral? What he is saying is true.
I continued to gape at him.
"While you ponder over this, I'm going to get another drink." Albus got up and walked towards the counter, pushing past the busy crowd on his way there.
What he said was absolutely true. I did like helping people. It was the only thing I was good at. I was an average student. I wasn't a comedian like Jake or a sportsperson like Kenny. I was good old Coral Carter who liked lending a hand to those who needed it.
For the first time I realised that that's how people saw me as.
At least I was of some use to someone in this world. Even if my mother didn't want me – I had someone who would always need my help at some point.
And that kind of made me happy.
I stared off into the distance outside the window happily for a few minutes after this realisation until I heard someone sit down on the table.
"Oh good." My voice sounded a little dreamy. "You got your drink then?"
"Look here."
That voice wasn't Albus.
My head snapped towards where Albus was supposed to be sitting and to my horror my eyes spotted none other than his ex-best friend – Nathan Root.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed, panicking, leaning my head closer to his over the table. "Why are you here?"
"I spoke to Aimee." Nathan said, his tone quiet.
"Okay then!" I wanted to know what he said but not now when Albus could show up any moment! "Tell me later. I really don't want to know now."
"Just go!" I waved my hand towards him, gesturing towards the door wildly. Merlin, if Albus showed up it would be a right disaster.
"Why are you panicking so much? Is-"Nathan paused and suddenly became very still, his eyes slightly wide.
I turned around, following his line of sight and my heart sunk.
It was Albus, a little distance away, staring at the two of us, his face expressionless.
I stared back at him.
Suddenly he slammed his drink down on an empty table and walked out the door.
In a matter of seconds I abandoned my own drink, leaving behind a very surprised and upset Nathan and ran out of Three Broomsticks, the cold air immediately attacking my face.
I ran towards the path which led back to the castle where I could see Albus walking at an extremely speedy pace.
"Albus, wait!" I cried out, desperation ringing in my voice. Oh gosh, I can't imagine how angry he is at the moment.
He whirled around, his expression livid. His furious green eyes locked with mine. "What do you want?"
"I-" I took a deep breath. I was going to say I was sorry but the words just weren't coming out of my mouth.
"I know I said it's a good thing that you help people but stop trying to help me." Albus snarled, looking even angrier than he did a few seconds ago. "We had a deal. You would stop trying to fucking meddle in my bloody life. Talking to Nathan proves nothing but you fucking meddling."
"I'm just trying to make things better." I replied feebly.
"Well fucking stop, goddamit." Albus took a step closer and said, his voice filled with ire. "There are a lot of things in the world that you can fix Coral Carter, but you can't fix me." With one last final glare, Albus turned around and stalked off towards the castle.
*hides* Hi guys! How long has it been? 4 months? *hides again* I am so terribly sorry! I really am! I tried to get this out as soon as i could (clearly didn't do a good job of that) but my muse wasn't working one bit so it took me ages to get this out. Also i was concentrating on my other short story (which is now completed) - Boy Hunt. And of course pile up a bunch of stuff from school and you have yourself a late update! Once again - i'm really really sorry :( But.. the good news is that my muse is back in action and now I have a whole bunch of chapters planned so updates should come relatively quickly! :)
Leaving all my excuses behind? How did you guys find this chapter? Liked it? Hated it? Anybody have any guesses as to what is going to happen next? All reviews would be lovely and much appreciated <33
Thank you all for sticking with this story <3

Soft drinks consist of a type of beverage that doesnt include alcohol and they are widely consumed by most people these days. They contain water in plenty quantities, a sweetener that gives that candy-like taste and different flavors. For example, sodas, pops or tonic beverages can be considered soft drinks.
What experts say
Soft drinks dont have such a good reputation because most doctors agree that they can affect the health of the consumers in a negative way. That is because the sugar that those drinks contain is not that healthy. The sugar in soft drinks is not at all like the sugar contained by fruits. Some people say that it gives dependence and it leads to obesity and different diseases.
As an example, if you eat a banana now, it is very likely that it will be enough and you wouldnt want another one. On the other hand, if you drink a glass of cola, a soft drink, you might be asking for another one in a short time. That is because the sugar in it is very addictive and it gives dependence. If you take this into consideration and you also add the fact that most fizzy drinks (soft drinks) affect the health of the persons that consume them, then there is no wonder why lots of people experience tooth decay, have problems with the heart rate and they can even develop cancer.
What is the response of the manufacturers regarding this issue?
In order to increase the sales and try to build a better reputation, most manufacturers of soft drinks try to adjust the quantity of sugar contained and they also remove or add some ingredients. That is why you probably see these types of soft drinks on the market which are healthier:
Caffeine-free soft drinks. Cola is a soft drink that can contain caffeine. If it is consumed in moderate quantities, caffeine is not a big of a deal but what if one drinks a coffee in the morning and he also drinks one or more colas during the day? The amount of caffeine increases in the body and it can lead to heart problems and poor blood circulation.
That is why caffeine-free soft drinks have been introduced. Perhaps the taste and the aroma are slightly changed, but they remain a very tasty beverage and now it is healthy as well. In addition, the new soft drinks have a reduced amount of sugar and they don't cause dependence.
Calorie-free soft drinks. In a similar fashion, those soft drinks have a minimum amount of calories and they dont lead to obesity. Even if they are consumed in large quantities, they are healthier. Plus, some manufacturers choose to enrich those soft drinks with different amounts of natural juice that also give a more delicious taste and flavor.
Therefore, it is possible to still enjoy a cold and tasty soft drink on a hot summer day without having to worry that your teeth and heart may suffer. Furthermore, consumed quite rarely, these soft drinks are a very good distraction and you would still be able to say to your friends: "Let's go for a drink!"

It is hard to say there are actually healthy soft drinks on the market, but some are definitely healthier than others. And some are definitely more appropriate as kids soft drinks.

While the growth and commercial success of non-fiction cinema this century has been the big story in documentary, something else has been going on, too – a flourishing of creativity and a rich variety of new forms have been emerging as non-fiction storytellers have discovered the potential of new technology to offer novel and fitting ways to tell stories about our shared world.
In Offshore, Canadians Brenda Longfellow & Mike Robbins of Helios Design Labs explained how they employed a game format to explore the environmental and human risks of deep ocean oil extraction, "The storytelling takes place within the virtual world of a 3D, imagined oil rig… a fog-obscured menacing destination." i-Docs delegates heard from Mike Robbins how the dark design was inspired by the movie, King Kong; the moody, immersive approach giving a visceral sense of the issues.
In an adjacent theatre Ramona Pringle, a former actress and producer for American Public Broadcasting, previewed, Avatar Secrets for iPad, a documentary for tablet, which explores the real-life story of how Pringle came through a time of personal crisis, finding herself through her virtual character in an online game. "We've moved into a hybrid reality", Pringle suggested, "the digital isn't in one place and the real in another, they are intertwined." Her creative challenge was to convey this in an interactive experience. She did it using familiar touch screen technology to create a story that is "linear but layered, where viewers can customize their experience…. digging deeper and navigating their own way".
Showing as a work-in-progress at i-Docs, Door into the Dark, by British documentarists Amy Rose & May Abdalla of Anagram took the story off the screen altogether. The audience arrived one by one at a side door in the Watershed building where i-Docs was taking place upstairs. On entering, they donned a mask and headphones and navigated their way in the pitch black, with the non-fiction story unfolding on audio, triggered by iBeacon technology. It's an experience that demands your full attention, and rewards with intensity. @veritymcintosh tweeted; "Heart still racing from the incredible Door Into the Dark… visceral, blindfolded odyssey of a documentary about being lost".
In his keynote lecture Professor William Uricchio from MIT Open Documentary Lab put these developments into historical perspective. This moment of innovation is not unprecedented, he told the audience. Documentary is a genre that has reinvented itself over the years as new technology has come online. Now, the web, mobile technology, social media, gaming and sensors are allowing work that engages the viewer as an active agent in the documentary experience. Uricchio explained that non-humans are becoming creators too – Narrative Science is a technology company that turns data into stories, and is already creating journalism written by machine.
In the wake of the Snowden revelations the misuses of emerging technology were a recurrent theme. Delegates discussed the need to prioritise purpose and ethics, and agreed that there was a need to develop transparent protocols for new documentary forms. Overall, though, the mood at i-Docs was positive. For a genre that is about communicating and questioning our shared world, these are very interesting times. As Pringle expressed it, "Technology isn't isolating us, it's actually providing us with new ways to connect."
Mandy Rose is Associate Professor, Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Digital Cultures Research Centre, University of the West of England. Avatar Secrets for iPad launches later in 2014.

I'll admit that I've never actually been seduced by a movie poster ... until now. Yahoo has debuted four of the standalone female Spirit posters, two of which (Eva Mendes as Sand Sarif and Scarlett Johansson as Silken Floss) we've already seen. Now, as pictured above, we also get to check out Jaime King as Lorelei Rox (and, yes, she definitely rox) and Sarah Paulson as Ellen Dolan. Oh, but that's not even the best part -- when you head on over to Yahoo and move your cursor over the different posters, you get to hear each girl repeat the line scrolled across her face. Oh yes. It's pretty cool ... and pretty hot.
In addition to the talking posters, director Frank Miller has gone live with another blog post. In it, he talks about CGI and the role it plays in the industry, as well how it fits into The Spirit. Working with Stu Maschwitz, Miller says, "Stu Maschwitz, CGI wizard, helped me understand this. Of all people. Sure, Stu had the entire CGI arsenal at his disposal – but he insisted that THE SPIRIT be true to its soul. Even when I wanted to go for an impossible, across-the-city camera move, he balked, saying it would "look digital. And Stu wouldn't let one damn character turn into a "bendie" or digital in any way. Hence my favorite shot – the Spirit leaps onto a water tower, and stumbles, just for a moment. Pure Eisner." I'm diggin' this one so far, and look forward to seeing a lot more of it at Comic Con later this summer.
The Spirit hits theaters on December 25.

The future of mining in Nunavut? It's all about China
Scotiabank commodity guru says Chinese demand the biggest factor for what sells, what doesn't
A influential Canadian bank economist says that if you want to predict which Nunavut mining projects are likely to make it and which ones aren't, you have to study China.
"I pay far more attention to the Chinese economy than to that of the United States," Patricia Mohr, Scotiabank's commodity price specialist, said at the April 8 opening of the Nunavut Mining Symposium in Iqaluit.
That's because China now represents more than 40 per cent of global demand for commodities.
That includes metals that lie embedded in the earth's crust across northern Canada, such as zinc, copper, nickel and iron ore.
Many factors influence their prices — including economic growth, or the lack of it, in the U.S., the European Union, Russia, Brazil and India, as well as the growth or decline of existing ore stockpiles.
But the biggest factor of them all is China's relentless movement towards an industrialized and urbanized future for the 1.3 billion people who live within its borders, Mohr said.
To that end, she said the Chinese government plans to build social housing for 100 million people who they will move from the countryside into the cities.
And the Chinese government plans to renovate 4.74 million housing units in shanty towns.
These and other projects are all "metal intensive and steel intensive," Mohr said, which means mineral prices will improve by 2015, following the global economy's sluggish growth record last year.
"I think that things will pick up from here on in," Mohr said.
For example, this means that zinc producers, such as MMG, which operates the Izok corridor project in the western Kitikmeot can look forward to better prices in a couple of years.
MMG announced this past November that it has suspended its participation in an environmental review of the Izok project for at least a year, pending more work on an updated project description design and more work aimed at finding ways to make the plan viable.
"Zinc has been a bit of a dog in recent years. Everyone knows that," Mohr said.
But she said that zinc is now positioned to become the "next base metal play" and she predicts that zinc will rise from its current low of about 75 cents a pound to $1.25 a pound by 2015.
The world's current zinc reserves are getting depleted, which will lead to higher prices when supplies shrink in the near future.
Another commodity that's due for a price increase is nickel, Mohr said, because of a decision by the government of Indonesia this past January to ban the export of all unprocessed nickel ore.
This will likely raise the price of zinc from its current low of $6.80 a pound to $9 by 2015, she said.
As for iron ore, Mohr said prices will likely remain low for a while, dropping to $105 per tonne this month because of new supplies moving into the market.
But that's not likely to hurt Baffinland's Mary River iron ore project, she said.
That's because the Mary River deposit holds "extremely rich" ore grades, Mohr said.
The iron content within the estimated 365 million tonnes of ore at Mary River ranges from 64 per cent to 70 per cent. This means it requires no chemical processing and can be crushed and shipped as is.
And because of its value, buyers in Europe are likely to pay a premium for Baffinland's product, she said.
"That's what allows this project to get off the ground," Mohr said. "If it was a low-grade deposit, it would be a no-go."
Mohr disclosed that Scotiabank, her employer, has participated in the financing of the Mary River project and that bank officials asked for her advice on its viability.
"I'm very excited for the people of Nunavut," Mohr said.
As for uranium, Mohr said that from an investor's point of view, it's still "a big disappointment" and "very close to the bottom."
Right now, the spot price for uranium sits at around $33.75 a pound, down from a high of about $56 per pound prior to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor fiasco of 2011.
Japan has not re-started the 48 nuclear reactors that they either shut down or closed for maintenance, which means global demand from uranium remains weak.
But Mohr said uranium prices could pick up when China carries out a plan to build 30 new nuclear power-plant reactors.
The price of gold, a direct influence on producers like Agnico Eagle, is likely to sit at around $1,320 an ounce this year and rise to around $1,375 an ounce in 2015.
She said gold prices improved slightly over the past month because of investor fears triggered by the continuing crisis in Ukraine.
But she said gold is unlikely to hit the $1921.25 high achieved in 2011.
That's because the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve, is likely to end its quantitative easing program, under which it purchases $85 billion worth of bonds and other securities each month to inject credit into the economy.
Among gold investors, this generated fear of inflation.
But the Federal Reserve has reduced those bond purchases to $55 billion a month and may eliminate the program by the fall of this year.
"Gold fell with the tapering of QE," Mohr said

AF question and litttle update~ (everything mentioned and TMI)
It's nice to hear from you! I haven't been on the boards much lately, I had to give myself a break but I peaked in these last few days and saw you here! I am sorry you are going through this, it is so not fair that we have to go through all of this. I know things have been very difficult and I can relate to your frustration. We are on the verge of throwing in the towel, it's just too much for me and DH is starting to agree...I guess we'll see how things go...
At any rate, I hope that whatever type of surgery you decide, everything goes well. Keep doing good things for yourself! I will keep peeking back for an update from you!

Cryotherapy: Freeze Yourself Young
It sounds like the perfect pastime for anyone obsessed with staying young who also happens to enjoy a little light masochism. "Extreme cryotherapy" is like an anti-sauna: You enter a chamber that's chilled to 216 degrees below freezing, which is "nearly 100 degrees colder than the lowest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth." Immediately, as ABC reporter Nick Watt discovers, you feel like your heart is "about to explode.... mixed with a strange euphoria." While remaining in the chamber longer than two minutes will quite possibly kill you, if you do survive, your skin ought to look a bit younger, which is obviously totally worth the risk of sudden organ failure.

Twist Style Friday: Winona
Every Friday we feature one of the garments from the magazine in a post about styling. We suggest different ways to wear the garment in question using mock-ups from Polyvore. We encourage readers to tell us what they think about these outfits via our Facebook page or Twitter, and if folks want to make their own outfits, please tweet them at us with the hashtag #twiststyle. You can find all of the Style Friday posts here.
This sweater is super pretty. If you like wearing A-line skirts or dresses, this is the perfect thing to pair with them on a chilly spring evening. The low neckline is just a little spicy, depending on what you wear it with, and the full lenth sleeves and longer length read a bit more demure.
All that was a meandering lead in to tell you that though I think this sweater would look awesome on all sorts of bodies, the shape of it might be particularly awesome if you look more like Wynonna Judd than Winona Ryder.
Enough about body politics, let's look at some clothes and shoes!
'Tis the season for chambray and florals and flats, am I right? The outfits on the far left and right may have been slightly inspired by watermelon.
I wanted to be wearing this sweater over my moving outfit last night (patterned leggings and a t-shirt), when I went to this amazing bakery in my old neigborhood for a post-move ice cream sandwich (you get to choose the kind of cookie and flavor of ice cream you want and they are all amazing). After ice cream and sitting in the shade for a bit, I got chilly!

IPodLinux or Similar for ITouch?
Is there any news on IPodLinux? I'm wondering if it will run on ITouch. I haven't seen anything recent on Google.
Thanks in advance!
10-02-2008 #2
The big two options for alternative an firmware/OS are Rockbox and iPodlinux (that you mentioned). To my knowledge no iPod from generation 6 onwards are supported yet as they use a new CPU and chipset.
When the support does come around, if you want to run a system that will just be an alternative firmware with more functionality I'd recommend Rockbox. I've been running it on my iRiver for a year or so and it really expanded the already wide functionality. It has a quicker boot, added decent database support and a host of other apps. It even added album art support to my low resolution greyscale screen
From what I understand iPodlinux is more of a general operating system that includes media playback, and as such is less tailored to being a media player.
As far as the iTouch is concerned I'm not sure that libgpod can even work with it to write music/data yet. I believe it's still read-only so that means pretty much any Linux app or 3rd party plugin on other platforms will not support it well yet. I would like to emphasise the yet partRegistered Linux user #378740

Yes, each extension should also define equivalence. Defining a canonical form is one nice way to define equivalence.

Touch Art invites artists to accessibility workshop on January 16th
Artists at a Touch Art workshop / photo: Ben Filio
Touch Art, a 2013 Seed Award project, is looking for interested artist-teachers to take part in their educator accessibility workshop on January 16th.
A Seed Award winner last year, Touch Art is an ongoing program from Pittsburgh Filmmakers and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts that opens art-making to the traditionally undeserved audience of blind or visually-impaired individuals. Featuring tactile art forms like paper-making, ceramics and fiber arts, the program aims to touch those interested in art who can't take most art classes.
"For a blind person to take a mainstream art class, you have to plan ahead," said blind artist and Pitt grad, Gabe McMorland during a Touch Art feature in the Post-Gazette. "It's hard to be spontaneous. There's not enough time to plan everything. Some things go by the wayside. But I think these classes will give me more of a chance to understand the particular art, a foundation. Then I can take the mainstream class."
The program also is an opportunity for local artist-educators who are interested in studio-specific accessibility training to learn about how to better accommodate artists with visual impairment. Expanding good teaching practices to other artists and studios around the city is all part of Touch Art's mission to make art and art creation more accessible to the city's blind community.
Claire Marcus, director of education for the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, told the Post-Gazette that the organization is proud to be involved in Touch Art. "We're excited to think outside the box," she said. "We value being inclusive and want to share the love of the arts with as many people as possible."
If you'd like to be a part of the mission as well, you can attend Touch Art's educator accessibility workshop on Thursday, January 16th. The course runs from 2-4pm and will teach attendees how to welcome and assist blind and visually-impaired students into art-making spaces and learning experiences.

LINCOLNSHIRE Co-operative Ltd has applied to West Lindsey District Council to create a hot food takeaway, near its premises in The Lindsey Centre.
The application requests a change of use for the empty Elite Workwear / Discount Shoes shop on the corner of Market Street and Heaton Street, Gainsborough.
Spokesman Emma Sneddon confirmed the society had sought to change the use of the shop from retail to hot food sales, but said they did not yet have a tenant.
"The location of the property, next to the town centre and adjacent to the taxi rank would lend itself to this use," she said.

Trusteer is a Finalist for the 2010 Red Herring 100 Europe Award
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across Europe. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
"This year was especially difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "Despite the global economic situation, there were many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Trusteer shows great promise therefore deserves to be among the Finalists. Now we're faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring Europe award. We know that this year's crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far."
"Being selected as a finalist from the hundreds of submissions to the Red Herring Europe awards is a great testament to our technological innovation, management strength, customer acquisition, and financial health", said Mickey Boodaei, CEO of Trusteer. "Our Rapport secure browsing service goes above and beyond what traditional security products can accomplish. Rapport secures Web sessions from start to finish and is specifically designed to block financial malware on a machine from hijacking Web browser sessions and transactions, stealing sensitive data such as account credentials and using them to commit online fraud. It creates a vault around data entered and presented in the browser, maintains a tunnel for safe communication with the destination Web site and prevents redirection to lookalike Web sites. There are over 6.5 million website users who as a result of using Rapport have seen a dramatic reduction in fraud and improved confidence in Web banking. Rapport also provides comprehensive fraud fighting intelligence to the financial institutions who use our technology."
The Finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Europe Conference in Paris, May 25-27, 2010. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on May 27 at the event.
Trusteer, the world's leading provider of secure browsing services, helps prevent financial malware attacks through its Rapport and Flashlight services. Trusteer Rapport enables banks and online businesses to protect sensitive data such as account credentials from malware by locking down the browser and creating a tunnel for safe communication between them. It also prevents phishing by validating site authenticity. Trusteer Flashlight allows remote, effective, and instant investigation of malwarerelated fraud incidents. Trusteer's solutions are used by more than 60 leading financial organizations in North America and Europe and by more than 6 million customers.

The other week I met with a client who had a major dilemma. "I crave salty snacks like potato chips all the time," she said. "But I never ever buy them anymore." "Why not?," I asked. "Because I'm afraid I'll eat the whole bag," she explained.
Now, for some people, avoiding trigger foods altogether is a valuable strategy for weight loss—no doubt about that. But new research from Cornell University shows that it is possible to conquer cravings for favorite foods without completely sabotaging weight-loss efforts. The solution? Smaller portions.
When researchers gave 104 adults either a large or small serving of the same snack, the people with more food ate 77 percent more calories—no shock there. What is surprising, however, was that the additional calories they took in did not equal greater satisfaction. Fifteen minutes after eating, both groups felt perfectly satiated by their snacks, regardless of size.
"If you want to control your weight, here's the secret: Take a bite and wait," researcher Brian Wansink, Ph.D., said in a university press release. "After 15 minutes all you'll remember in your head and in your stomach is that you had a tasty snack."
RELATED: Satisfy your chip craving with our 40 crunchy and creamy healthy snacks under 200 calories.
Think of it as an edible law of diminishing returns: When you eat a favorite food, the first few bites have the most value in terms of the pleasure you stand to gain from that indulgence. For my salt-craving client, this means that she doesn't need to eat an entire bag of chips to feel satisfied (though she may need a reminder to signal her to stop eating).
One thing I love about this strategy is that rather than asking a dieter to eliminate beloved foods, it capitalizes on the power of those first few bites. And I find in my nutrition practice—and in my own life—that making room for favorite treats (within reason, of course) is one of the keys to achieving success in the long run.
My client determined that while a bag of chips in the pantry may be too much for her to handle, she'd like to find ways to incorporate small servings of her favorite food into her diet. So once a week she's going to buy an individually sized bag of her favorite chips to enjoy as a treat with lunch.
RELATED: You don't have to go crazy measuring out everything you eat. Learn the 10 times serving size matters most.
Perhaps chips aren't your thing. Here are some other ways to harness the power of the first few bites:
1. Split dessert with your dinner date instead of ordering your own—or share three or four ways if you're with a crowd.
2. Ask for a half order of fries with your chicken wrap rather than the full-sized one that usually comes with it.
3. Keep a bag of fun-sized candy bars in your freezer; thaw out one at a time.
4. Try this recipe for "just two" chocolate chip cookies.
What do you think? What strategies do you use to keep your cravings at bay?

text: Images courtesy of NCI Landscape Recreation Precast concrete products mix function, form & fun By Mark Watt | Images courtesy of NCI N orthwest Ohio-based Norwalk Concrete Industries (NCI) is a custom manufacturer of precast concrete products for a range of uses, from DOT and utility products to modular buildings and privacy/security walls. The company now fabricates a pair of outdoor recreational products designed simply for fun and games: precast tennis tables and disc golf course products. Both offerings are well-suited for a range of property types, including parks, resorts, outdoor employee break/ recreation areas, college campuses, military bases, school playgrounds and even back yards. Precast Concrete Table Tennis Tables Constructed of precast concrete with stainless steel nets, NCI's highly durable ping pong tables are designed to encour-age users to slow down, hang out outside and play around. The weather-proof, maintenance-free tables are built to regu-lation size (9' long by 5' wide x 2.5' high) and are installed in place with no on-site assembly required. "Table tennis is an activity that can be played by people of all ages and all skill levels," says NCI president Jeff Malcolm, who notes that precast con-crete tennis tables have been popular in countries like Germany and China for decades. "The fun starts right away with the design stage and continues when the table makes its way into your community where friends and family members can enjoy decades of outdoor table tennis." Disc Golf Courses One of NCI's more recent innova-tions is its line of Precast Advantage Disc Golf course products. Similar to traditional golf, disc golf is played on a course with players throwing discs (think Frisbees) at "holes," which are essentially metal poles with chains and baskets. NCI's prefabricated golf course systems, easily installed in a single day, incorporate precast, portable tee boxes constructed of durable, long-lasting DOT-Spec concrete with a safe, slip-resistant surface and clear anti-graffiti coating. Additional features include custom concrete coloring and tee box/par numbering. The systems also include target foundations, which feature a cast-in-sleeve to match target posts, and can incorporate locking systems to discourage theft. P More information on both product lines is available at NCI's website at www.nciprecast.com. www.propertiesmag.com 75

In the space of one summer and the tiny bit of fall we've seen, the Tuesday afternoon Farmers Market has gone from a quiet affair known only to a few to a pretty big deal, with people waiting on the sidelines for the selling to begin and as far as I can tell, twice as many vendors as there were in the early days.
Part of that may have to do with the growing season, but I think part of it is also the market becoming more well-known as people catch on to the good deals and incredibly fresh produce and baked goods. It's a sociable way to buy things, particularly if you work or live near the downtown area.
Today I took a few pictures at the market. Last time I focused on the brightly colored produce; this time I focused on the people, though of course I couldn't help taking a picture or two of some bright red, orange and yellow peppers.
Here's the gallery. Enjoy! I'm not sure how many of these will be left this year.

Listen! Switching up what you usually listen to while exercising can set a fresh tone to a workout.
- Leave your earbuds behind and enjoy nature's serene ambiance or the bustle of the city streets.
- Lauren presses play on music or podcasts when she needs a soundtrack for her workouts. Spotify's running playlist matches music tempo with her running pace. She also enjoys making her workouts a motivational moment with podcasts by The Daily Boost, Chalene Johnson and Zig Ziglar.

Friends! Arranging workouts with others can help make you more accountable on days you'd likely snuggle up on the couch.
- Grab a thermos of your favorite warm drink and join a friend for a walk along the river.
- Sports and group activities can keep workouts fun! Try playing basketball on the court in Chickasaw Heritage Park or soccer on the RiverFit field in Tom Lee Park.
- Daylight can be scarce during colder seasons, so remember "Safety in numbers!"
- Even if you can't bring yourself to workout, spending time with others can be a great mood booster on dreary days.

Goals! Break down major goals into smaller more tangible pieces. The satisfaction of accomplishing these smaller goals can keep you motivated towards a major one!
- Set a time to beat for a run along Greenbelt Park (approximately 1.5 miles).
- Tips from Lauren on how to simply be more active than the day before.
- Instead of attacking the bluff along Riverside Drive opt for an easier slope like the roof of Beale Street Landing.
Memphis & Arkansas Bridge at Crump Park
Exploring! Similarly to new sounds to listen to, being in a different place can rejuvenate a tired workout routine.
- The Memphis Riverfront is 5 miles long. Use this interactive map to help you find somewhere you haven't been!
- Lauren's quick 10 minute workout can be done just about anywhere outside or inside.
- From the rise and fall of the Mississippi River to leaves turning colors with the seasons the Memphis Riverfront's view is contantly changing.
