I'm reaching WAY back here for one to showcase for you today. I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea but perhaps you'll give it a chance.
Most people know this, but if you don't, I have an absolute love for Medieval and Renaissance era music. It was why, when I had a chance to go to a Renaissance Faire back in high school I was SO EXCITED. I mean, I was going to hear people sing motets! And play recorder consort music! And hear CRUMHORNS!!! And, as anyone who goes to a Renaissance Faire knows, I got none of that. Even though I've gone since and even played at the Faire one summer, I still feel oddly disappointed at the lack of real Renaissance music.
Anyway...moving on...
I was introduced to Philippe de Vitry's music in a music theory class in which we analyzed music of all eras. This Ars Nova ("New Art") music of the 14th century acquired much more polyphonic (many-voiced) sophistication than earlier music, thanks in part to advances in notation. Composers could move beyond simple rhythmic modes that had followed the monophony of plainchant. Now, composers during this time got a little carried away with this new-found freedom, sometimes so completely obliterating the text that folks who listened probably had no idea what the songs were about. Some had each singer singing a different, related text. And some even had them singing in different languages! Craziness, I tell you!
Ok in all seriousness, as soon as I learned about them, I fell totally in love with the whole concept of the isorhythmic motet.
What the hell is that? you ask. Sure no problem. Let me try to explain this!
The heart of isorhythm lies in the tenor, that slow-moving voice you'll hear in the midst of the piece I'll link you to shortly. Isorhythm is made up of two parts:
(1) A repeating pattern of rhythms (called the talae)
(2) A repeating pattern of pitches (called the color)
Often the rhythm would be one amount of notes and the pitches would be a different amount of notes, thus causing them to overlap until finally coming back together. In general, the work would take longer to cycle through the pitches than to cycle through the rhythms (for instance, the color might be 28 notes long while the talae only 4 notes; that means it would take 7 repetitions of the talae before the color is completed!).
Fun, right?
Ok maybe only for theory nerds.
At any rate, above the tenor were often 2 (sometimes more) voices that moved in free-form against them, creating that polyphony I was talking about earlier. These voices are called the motetus and triplum. Because we have to name EVERYTHING in music theory.
The tenor voice, by the way, is sometimes played on instruments and sometimes sung. People nowadays are unclear as to which is historically accurate (both may have been).
Here's a recording of this work. The full name, which is "Garrit Gallus flendo dolorose / In nova fert animus" is drawn from opening lines in the two top voices. Here is the translation of the text.
The rooster (Gaul) chatters with bitter weeping;
indeed the whole flock mourns,
for it is stealthily being betrayed
by the satrap even as it keeps watch.
And the fox, like a grave-robber,
flourishing with the cunning of Belial,
reigns with the full consent of the lion himself.
Alas, what anguish!
Behold how the family of Jacob
once again flees from another Pharoah:
no longer able, as before, to follow
the path of the Jews, it weeps.
In the desert it is tortured by hunger,
its arms and armour lack a helper.
If it cries out it will be despoiled;
the voice of the wretched exiles,
near death, is harsh.
O sad chattering of roosters!
Since the blindness of the lion is subject
to the shadowy deceit of the treacherous fox,
whose arrogance encourages sin,
you must rise up:
otherwise what is left of your honour
slips away and will continue to slip away:
with only late avengers it will soon turn into villainy.
My mind is bent to tell of bodies changed anew:
that evil dragon
whom glorious Michael once conquered thoroughly
with the miraculous power of the cross,
again is living, now fortified
with the grace of Absalom,
gloating with the eloquence of Ulysses,
armed with the teeth of a wolf
as a soldier in the army of Tersitis -
in fact changed into a fox.
Deprived of his sight by deceit,
the lion is subject to this ruling fox,
who sucks the blood of lambs,
sates himself with chickens, and never stops;
rather he thirsts on.
He comes to weddings with his hunting dogs.
Woe to chickens and woe to the blind lion;
but in the end, woe to the dragon when he must face Christ!
At least both texts were in Latin? Anyway...

I don't like myself today. Every other word I'm saying is either "f_ck" or "bullsh!t." And every other gesture I've been making with my hands is to flip somebody the bird. Not that I would normally point that at anyone but I've been doing that so much someone is bound to see it.
I haven't been truly happy since August. There were moments-- in the middle of editing and contributing to a really fun video or talking about camp icons. Or that time when I became a mime for my friend Maureen. Or that one time when I helped the mideast resto with their electricals and maybe saved 'em from a fire. But since then, nothing. Abso-f_cken-lutely jack-bull-sh!t.
Which is ironic, since in that respect, I'm in the exact same place I was two years ago.
I can handle it better, thank God. And my current workload keeps me preoccupied enough so that thinking about where I am doesn't take up all of my headspace. I still have some major decisions to make that I've been postponing, pending the end of my current work project. Check back with me next month and I'll let you know how those are going.
I am praying that when you see me next I will be smiling, and not because I'm ruminating about the aptness of the image below--
I've logged a thousand miles following the highway, and all this time everyone else was moving while I was actually jogging in place.
Oh god I'm flipping someone the bird again...

15.05.2016: The twenty-two young Reliance Foundation Young Champs currently in England visited the Premier League headquarters in London as they entered the second week of their 11-day trip. The Young Champs have already visited the academies of Premier League outfits like Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Southampton since arriving in England on May 11 and will soon be visiting those of West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City and Liverpool before their scheduled departure on May 23.
After experiencing their first live premier league match at St, Mary's Stadium on Sunday as Southampton hosted Crystal Palace, the youngsters travelled to the Premier League headquarters for a fun-and-educational session. The youngsters also received the opportunity to pose alongside the Premier League trophy and were addressed by Executive Chairman of the Premier League, Richard Scudamore.
Scudamore started his address by highlighting the world class youth development facilities on display at Premier League clubs. "You've already been to Chelsea, already been to Southampton, you're here today and then travelling up the rest of the country, finally Manchester and Liverpool. You will see a complete spread of what's best about Premier League Youth Development facilities," he said.
However, Scudamore didn't forget to emphasise that there was more to a footballer's development than just excellent facilities. "But I don't want you to leave your tour here thinking that it's all about facilities. Your career development, youth development is primarily down to you as individuals. It is of course, not only about how good you are physically but also how good you are mentally," he said.
He also stressed the need for top quality coaches to help the young budding talents further their footballing education. "Probably the most important thing is your coaching and the quality of your coaches and the coaches as mentors in the way they develop you. Realistically, it will be difficult in the next couple of years in terms of your development, to have an enormous amount of facilities in India like you'll see this week."
Scudamore ended his address to the Reliance Foundation Young Champs by stating that it was a privilege to have the young champs in England and encouraged the talented youngsters to enjoy their stay in England. "Most importantly, this week and next week just ensure you have fun and it's really been a privilege of ours to host you, to be involved in your visit and it's really great to see you," he concluded.
11.5.16: Indian Super League has taken forward its esteemed association with the Premier League to provide a unique experience to the Reliance Foundation's Young Champs (RFYC) to train at various prestigious Club academies in the United Kingdom.
The RFYC group comprises of 22 young Indian footballers in the age group of under-12 and under-14, who have been training at Navi Mumbai for the past one year under the RFYC residential scholarship programme. They will embark on their twelve day journey on 12th May 2016, accompanied by Young Champs Head Coach Mark Vaessen and assistant coach Jose Barreto.
The 22 young people traveling to UK are Bunando Singh, Koustav Dutta, Yashvender Singh, Ronik Singh, Tushar Kumar, Rashid Cherukad, Mustaque Ahmed, Mikhil Patil, Muhammed Nemil, Muhammed Basith, Ranit Sarkar, Ayush Chhikara, Sumit Das, Aqib Nawab, Aritra Das, Subhajit Belel, Razibul Mistry, Basker Singh, Supriyo Sardar, Zidan Singh, Birendra Singh and G Balaji.
The Premier League is a strategic partner to the Indian Super League (ISL) and the visit is part of their Mutual Cooperation Agreement. Earlier, in April 2015, the Premier League, along with Arsenal, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion hosted a five day event, sharing best practice with ISL club owners and senior management, with a focus on Club Organisation, Youth and Community Development and Fan Engagement.
Their schedule begins with training at the Chelsea FC Academy in Cobham, followed by friendly matches over the following two days against the Crystal Palace, Southampton and Reading academies. The group will also get an opportunity to watch the last game of the Premier League season at St. Mary's Stadium between Southampton and Crystal Palace on Sunday 15th May.
The following week will see the group visit the Premier League offices, where the young people will hear from the Youth Development team around expectations of players, alongside fun and engaging workshops delivered by the Education department and a photo opportunity with the Premier League Trophy. Additionally, there will be an opportunity for the ISL central academy coaches to hear from Ged Roddy, Director of Youth at the Premier League, about the development of the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP)

Not knowing my birth Fathers family is loss to me and it can't be fixed. I do know, I would change nothing about my life. My brother and I were in the care of a young and struggling mother, who provided the best possible care. We grew up with an amazing step father, I looked at him as my Dad. I honor them both, they are the reason I am who I am today. I grew up learning to be responsible, independent, and strong, not so unlike my Mother and Dad who raised me, my brother and my sister.
I look at my life as a wife and mother, I learned life skills well, I cooked, sewed for my family, I gardened, and love my family and to those around me. As I journeyed through adulthood, running kids to school events, living on a farm with critters to care for and being involved in other outside activities, I didn't think often about the father I never knew, I was living my life.
I'm in my sixties now, the children grew up and are living their life with their children. I know I have been blessed, our children are wonderful, they are also responsible, independent and strong. They too are loving and caring, something I hope they learned before leaving home. We have wonderful grandchildren that we see as often as every ones schedules will allow. It is ALL good and amazing.
At this stage in my life, I began to wonder about my birth father and his family. I didn't have much information, it seemed to be something "not talked about". I feared asking, wanting not to hurt anyone, wanting not to show any disrespect. I started doing a little searching. It didn't take long, a door was opened and there was no way to close it, as information about my DeRemer ancestors tumbled out, the more I learned the more I wanted to know.
Not only did I discover the ones who are no longer of this world. I found the ones that are here now! I spoke a couple times to my birth father by phone, it was not very rewarding, his hearing wasn't good and I am sure it was rather shocking to him to hear from me. He had just turned 80 at the end of May. I don't know exactly what I expected from this man that hadn't been in my life since I was small. I do know that I longed for something, to be acknowledged, accepted and maybe even to know I was loved........ Doesn't everyone want that?
Maybe the greatest gift my father gave to me was the name and phone number of his oldest son from his second marriage. I learned that I had a brother and I knew his name, calling him was another matter, my insecurities were showing. How would he feel about me, did he know of me, what would he think?
My saving grace was contacting him on Facebook, no personal phone call, I could not handle that possible rejection, I could not think about how to talk to this stranger who was my brother........
Well, the rest is history, written about in an earlier blog, my heart has never been happier for meeting my brother Mike.
I know I am meandering a little and will now to get back to the Ancestors Gathering.....
My brother Mike called me on July 16th to tell me our Dad, whom I haven't seen in more than 50 years, has had a stroke. My logical brain said, "Okay, they are in Texas, I'm in Ohio, I may never get to hear my father speak to me, there is nothing I can do." In a day my heart began to speak, even yelled at me, "You must go to Texas, now!". Thankfully my brain listened to my heart and I called Mike to tell him I needed to come to Texas. He ask me when I was coming.... I will be forever grateful for his response.
I was blessed to spend three days with my three Texas brothers, Mike, Mark and Mitch, at our Dad's bedside. It was wonderful to see their tender loving way with our Dad. I am so grateful by their acceptance and love they shared toward me. The gifts of those three days cannot be measured, it changed my life, I will never be the same person I was before that trip to Texas.
I left Texas with a heavy heart, I knew I had to come home. My friend and I played flute prayers for my Ohio family and my Texas family the morning I left for Ohio. With my eyes closed the tears streamed down my cheeks. I saw the ancestors gathering, they were in a large group, looking toward my left, there was someone closer to the bottom of this "picture", I knew it to be the one helping our Dad make his journey into the spirit world. Even though I did not "know" these people on earth, I knew my Aunt was helping and my Grandmother stood out in the crowd of ancestors, waiting to greet her son and our Dad with such joy. Our Dad died on July 28, 2011.
|Stephen Guy DeRemer ~1931 - 2011~
There is something about this little story, it is all about "Divine Timing". Everything happened just as it was suppose to, everything came at the moment it was suppose to come, only to prepare the way for the next "moment". It is only when it is over that we see all the connections, a big web, each strand important to last and the next. My heart cries that it took so long and yet, I would have changed nothing. The good and the bad of it all these events brings balance, acceptance and a heart filled with love. I am grateful and blessed.

The spirit of harlotry is working aggressively through nations, families and governments all over the modern world. She manifests through sexual immorality. However, she is cunning and deceptive, and her tactics are hard to recognise despite her obvious manifestations.
Not only does she work through sexually immoral acts, she also works through other human evils like selfishness and greed. Like the spirit of mammon, she seduces with lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life. She works together with the spirit of mammon to stir up conflict among people, especially between men and women within the family and in broader society.
Despite the church being mostly not under her grip, it does not mean she cannot influence its thinking and eventually its compromise with the world on matters of sex, family, love and relationships. She works through universities through deceptions about gender, sex, freedom and liberty.
The spirit of harlotry is out to bring many to Hell.
We do not fight people, we are fighting with a spirit. That spirit is Mammon which dominates and controls the whole world through the Anglo-American Democratic Capitalist System. It manifests in Humanism and Liberalism, through Democracy, and Capitalism, the Four Evils who enslave the whole of mankind. Many Christians who should understand the spirit of Mammon, do not. We expose and fight the spirit of Mammon, and the four evils of Humanism, Liberalism, Democracy and Capitalism.

Economics is about how a community sustains itself. It is also about what people do, how resources are used and what keeps the community going. Both traditional and new economies are important contributors.
What do these rates mean?
participation rate
is the percentage of the population over fifteen that is employed or unemployed but looking for work.
employment rate
is the percentage of the population over fifteen that is working.
unemployment rate
is the percentage of people in the labour force who cannot find work.
Economic Leakage
Economic leakage refers to the amount of money that the community members spend outside of Cowessess First Nation. Understanding where local residents spend their money (particularly the money they spend off reserver) will help to determine what new products and services can be provided on reserve through creative economic development initiatives. Reducing economic leakage can lead to increased self sufficiency and can be an indicator of success for local businesses and services.
The primary items that members purchased outside of the community are:
Clothing, appliances, cars, groceries, hardware and building supplies, toys, gifts, alcohol, pharmaceuticals , entertainment, farm tools, machinery, and livestock.

Kendal Nezan, a soft-spoken refugee from Turkey and chairman of the Kurdish Institute, is dismayed that the world's millions of Kurds and their 1,000-year-old culture have become orphans of history.
Not only have the Kurds been denied their own homeland, but Iraq is systematically destroying Kurdish villages, Turkey prohibits Kurds from speaking their native language and Iran is waging a 10-year-old war against its Kurds.
Mr. Nezan complains that the Western democracies seem to have forgotten about the Kurds' plight ever since about 400,000 of them fled Iraq in 1987 after Baghdad dropped poison gas on several Kurdish villages. Kurdish leaders say thousands of Kurds died.
''Everyone seems to pay much more attention to a tiny Lebanese family group that kidnaps a few Americans than they do to the world's 25 million Kurds,'' said Mr. Nezan, a physicist who fled Turkey in 1971.
To ''break the wall of silence'' on the plight of his people, Mr. Nezan's Paris-based institute has organized the first international conference on the Kurds' human rights situation and cultural identity. Kurds are assembling in Paris from 23 countries, and Senator Claiborne Pell, Democrat of Rhode Island, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, is scheduled to speak on Sunday. The conference is also being sponsored by a French human rights group founded by Danielle Mitterrand, wife of the French President.Continue reading the main story
When the conference opened today, Yelena G. Bonner, wife of Andrei D. Sakharov, the Soviet human rights campaigner, read a letter from him in which he urged the United Nations to demand that nations with large Kurdish populations establish autonomous regions for Kurds. Dr. Sakharov was scheduled to attend the conference, but his wife said he was too weak.
Mr. Nezan wants the West to put pressure on Iraq, Iran and Turkey to stop denying the Kurds their rights. About half the world's Kurds live in Turkey, one third in Iran and one fifth in Iraq, and there is also a significant Kurdish population in Syria and the Soviet Union.
''The Kurds are pariahs of the international comunity,'' Mr. Nezan said. ''No government wants to speak up on our behalf because they do not want to disturb certain military, political, strategic interests.''
Peter W. Galbraith, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff member who spoke at the conference, said, ''Too many governments are too concerned about alienating the oil-rich or politically powerful nations where the Kurdish people reside.'' He said that after Iraq used poison gas, the Senate backed strong sanctions against Iraq, but that they were blocked by the Reagan Administration.
After World War I, Kurdistan was to become a nation under the 1920 Treaty of Sevres. But the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne superseded that and distributed Kurdistan among several nations.
The Kurdish Institute, a group of writers, artists, historians and other intellectuals, is trying to keep the Kurds' culture from being snuffed out. Turkey has banned Kurdish songs, books on Kurdish history and Kurdish grammars. Iraq, trying to force assimilation, has leveled more than 3,000 Kurdish villages, according to the institute.
''We have a very ancient culture,'' Mr. Nezan said. ''We don't want our generation to be the last link in the chain.''Continue reading the main story

Purpose: Patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) relapsing after hematopoietic stem cell transplant have limited options for long-term cure. We have shown that infused cytotoxic T cells (CTL) targeting Epstein Barr virus (EBV)–derived proteins induced complete remissions in EBV+ HL patients. A limitation of this approach is that up to 70% of relapsed HL tumors are EBV-negative. For these patients, an alternative is to target the cancer/testis antigen MAGE-A4 present in EBV antigen-negative HL tumors. Furthermore, epigenetic modification by clinically available demethylating agents can enhance MAGE-A4 expression in previously MAGE-negative tumors.
Experimental Design: We explored the feasibility of combining adoptive T cell therapy with epigenetic modification of tumor antigen expression. We further characterized MAGE-A4–specific T-cell phenotype and function, and examined the effects of the epigenetic modifying drug decitabine on these T cells.
Results: Cytotoxic T cells were generated specifically recognizing MAGE-A4 expressed by autologous HL targets and tumor cell lines. Decitabine—previously shown to increase tumor antigen expression in HL—did not compromise MAGE-A4–specific T-cell phenotype and function. In patients treated with decitabine, expanded MAGE-A4–specific T cells had a broader antitumor T cell repertoire, consistent with increased antigen stimulation in vivo.
Conclusions: Adoptive transfer of MAGE-A4–specific T cells, combined with epigenetic modifying drugs to increase expression of the protein, may improve treatment of relapsed HL. Clin Cancer Res; 17(22); 1–9. ©2011 AACR.

I live in Fairbanks. I got four kids going to UAf, so budget is an issue too. I want a boat/motor combo that can come out of Salchaket slough, go up the Tanana a mile or so to the Chena and carry me, my wife, our camping gear and a field dressed spike/fork doing it.
My "dream boat" needs to run at least 15mph per GPS loaded with all that, draw as little water as possible, and it has to come in way under $10,000. Certainly a $30k jetboat would meet my needs, but it isn't in the budget.
I have a 17' Grumman square stern and a pretty healthy 7.5 Mercury outboard. s/n on the Mercury puts it around 1980 vintage, but it is tight enough that it runs noticeably better on Mercury 2 cycle oil, and noticeably worse on generic 2 cycle oil from Fred Meyer's. Flat out on the lower Chena, up and down averaged it can do 11mph per GPS. Upstream in the Tanana by the big bluff at the mouth of the Goodpasture near Delta with the throttle at wide F open with just me the wife and our camping gear the combo can barely stand still against the current.
I can't really put a bigger motor on the 17' Grumman, 7.5 is pretty burly already.
One option would be a john boat around 16-18 feet and 40-44" beam, so 16x40 to 18x44, but I would be looking at a 20-30hp motor to make it run, and my wife is not enamored of the aesthetics.
Second option would be a Snipe built by Lund, but they only made like 500 of them and I have never seen one for sale up here.
Third is a Grumman Sport boat. I have an ad on craigslist and that's me with posters in the boat shops and bulletin boards around Fbx. Not looking good. One fella with a beard down past his collar bones suggested the ones in Fairbanks got trailered with the motors on them back in the pipeline days, then the transoms broke loose from the rest of the hull on pretty much all of them and they went to the landfill and I am wasting my time. I am watching CL as far out as Whitehorse with no joy.
Option four is to build up a Rob White sport boat out of cedar strip just from trusting in the reading. I'd rather test drive a Sport boat and then (likely) scale the plans up to a 19 footer and build that.
One thing that would be nice is a wide enough center seat for my wife and I to sit side by side while we are putting around. She says it's "lonely" up in the bow of our 17' square stern.
Option five is a 19' Grumman with a bigger motor. The center seat is wide enough for both of us, and I can rig a remote control for the outboard. I know I would need a bigger motor even with perfect trim, and I am not sure I could get the velocity in a displacement hull at all.
Option six is a hull that will plane on less than ten hp with 800-1000# of freight in it, is commonly available in Fairbanks and costs less than $1000. What is hull number six?

If you are not aware of a moment when you asked Christ to come into your life as your Lord and Savior, you are not a Christian and never have been. You are just labeling yourself with a term that has no real significance or meaning in your life. Church is your social club. Unfortunately, I believe the majority of people who identify with Christianity are in just this tragic position.
It is impossible for a baby to be born a Christian. That's why, as Jesus himself said, you must be born again. Your birth into this world is a physical birth. To be a Christian you must be born spiritually, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." Romans 3:23
It is not possible to be a Christian on the basis of being born into a family of Christians. You cannot inherit Christianity. This is the difference between Christianity and all religions such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. Christianity is a personal relationship with God himself and, therefore, requires spiritual birth into the family of God.
John 3:3-7: Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is initiated by your personal response to God's call, his tug at your spirit. It is a specific decision made at a specific time, out of a sincere heart full of repentence and belief that Jesus died on the cross for you. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
"Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified." 2 Cor. 13:5
How can you be sure that you have been born again? "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ." Romans 8:16,17
"Therefore, my beloved ... work out your own salvation with fear and trembling..." Phil. 2:12.

The University of Tennessee (UT) is well-known for churning out groundskeepers and turf managers who can be found working in all levels of competition, all across the country.
Consider sophomore Ryan Hammitt the latest product of the UT turfgrass factory. Hammitt is currently in London, England, serving an internship at the All England Club in Wimbledon – that's right, the Wimbledon, as in the most watched tennis tournament in the world. This year's Wimbledon tournament – played on 44 grass courts – takes place from June 27-July 10.
Hammitt is the first UT undergraduate student from the Turfgrass Science program to earn the prestigious internship.
The grass at Wimbledon is 100 percent perennial rye and is mowed at precisely 8 millimeters.
"As a kid, I was an avid tennis player, and I always dreamed of going to Wimbledon," Hammitt told SFM. "At first, I wanted to play in the prestigious tournament, but after realizing that was unlikely, I thought it would have to be as a spectator. I never could have imagined that I would be here now, working with the grounds crew.
"Receiving this opportunity through the Turfgrass Science program at the University of Tennessee has meant the world to me."

"More international organizations are now aiming at India as a potential growth market," says Anand Jhunjhunwalla, vice president of the 2010–2011 managing committee of the Biennial Fragrance and Flavours Association of India. Bringing together domestic and large multinational companies—the latter of which account for ~75% of the F&Fmarket—the event presented a unique opportunity for the industry to gather and consider the future of this fast-growing economy, currently ranked 11th in the world by GDP. Increasingly, this developing market its factoring into the long-range plans of multinational F&F companies, which face rapidly maturing markets in the United States, Europe and Japan. The CIA Factbook notes, "In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly grom the global financial crisis—in large part because of strong domestic demand—and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms." These are numbers no industry can ignore.

Yes, another diffuser. You cannot have too many! This one works well in our living room/kitchen area. It has a 1, 2, and 3 hour timer but you can also leave it on until you're ready to turn it off. Included in the set is the charger, cord and measuring cup. It is constructed of lightweight plastic material and has a swirl pattern on the main part. This diffuser emits a nice vapor. I love the led color changing option that glows nicely in the background when we are watching tv. The led lighting is optional to work the diffuser. You can just have the vapor without the light. It also makes a nice night light in the bedroom. I start it up with the color changing led and put my favorite essential oil in the receptacle a couple of hours before I go to bed. My room is filled with a lovely scent and when I put in the lavender oil, my dreams are sweeter.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Within the admission requirements to enter a program, either undergraduate or postgraduate in a foreign university, you are very likely to be asked to write an essay. This essay is a fundamental piece since, because they cannot have a personal interview with the candidate, the Admission Offices attach great importance to both the form and content of the essay.
It helps them know who the candidate is, and allows them to evaluate how the candidate can contribute to the program. Therefore, focusing on a good essay is essential as it can make a difference and influence the final decision on admission.
Many students think this is an academic essay, but it is not.
The first thing you should know is that there is no magic formula or a pre-established structure to do an admission essay. Usually the Admissions Offices will give you one or more questions that you must answer throughout the essay; So the first rule is that your essay should fully answer the question or questions that were asked to you. If you try to impress by talking about topics that you consider are very important but have nothing to do with what was asked, chances are that your essay will not be well seen by the Admissions Offices.
Questions asked by Admissions Offices vary depending on the institution and program.
Some institutions focus more on the personal part of the candidate, while others put more interest in the academic and professional. Therefore, generally, the questions will focus on three themes: You, Why you chose that program, and What you can contribute to the program.
The name given to this requirement changes according to the country and type of essay you are asked.
For example: motivation letters or application essays if you are going to study at a Spanish-American university; Or motivation letters, application essays, cover letters, admissions essays if an English-speaking institution.
When we tell you that one of the most important topics of the essay is You, it is because the background of admission essays is to know about you.
The Admissions Offices seek that in the essay, make a personal story, focusing on your academic and professional development (not in your private life). This does not mean that you have to summarize your whole life, but it does mean that you must tell them precisely and authentically about your interests, your qualities, and your projects, without seeming arrogant and presumptuous. You can emphasize episodes and anecdotes of your life, both good and bad, that have made you grow and be the person, the student and the professional that you are at the moment. These can be both successes and failures, but what you should highlight is how they taught you valuable things that you did not know before. And do not worry, they do not have to be extraordinary situations or out of the ordinary; The main thing is that they are events that make you a unique person.
In the essay you should also justify to the Admissions Offices why you chose the program they offer, not other programs that are taught on the same subject.
It is vital that you are familiar with the program and that you are clear about the reasons why you want to apply it. Not all programs, thus have the same title or are from the same area, are the same. Many have different emphases, others are distinguished because they have very specific subjects in the curriculum, others are dictated by distinguished professors who make them unique. Whatever your reason, the essential thing is to try to be as specific as possible. Do not give generic arguments that can give other candidates as "because it is the best university in the world", or "because it is the most recognized program in your area" or "because it ranks in X Ranking worldwide." Data such as these are already known and known by the members of the Admission Offices. They seek to know the reason for your particular interest in that field of study, how you came to want to specialize in it, how passionate and familiar you are with the subject, why you chose that program specifically, and how to study this program and not another Will impact your personal, academic and professional life.
The third topic that you must demonstrate to Admissions Offices is how you, your interests and your contributions are valuable to the program you are going to study.
At this point you should know that Admissions Offices, rather than looking for candidates to whom the program can generate greater knowledge, want to admit people who, with their knowledge, experiences, and personality, enrich the program and the day-to-day lessons. Therefore, in the essay you can emphasize your achievements, your skills, and your future goals. Connecting your goals with what you have done to achieve them, you can show them that you are a very valuable person, focused and working to achieve their goals. You can also take advantage of admission essay to explain, in case there is some bump in the other documents of your application (such as a bad note for example), the causes of it.
Another important aspect of the essay is that, although this is not an academic essay, it must be well written.
The essay must have a coherent structure, argumentation and analysis, demonstrating that you can support your ideas with logical arguments. Try to express yourself clearly and in a language that is comfortable and familiar; Formalisms and sophisticated languages not necessary. However it is very important that the essay is written with a good spelling and grammar, not touching points of debate and not too creative (it is not a story of fiction, it is about your life).
Although it is not difficult to write an excellent admission essay, this task requires time and dedication.
Therefore we recommend that you do not start writing it a day or two before submitting your application; Try to take your time to be able to do it calmly, analyze the questions, think carefully each answer, and write when you are inspired. Do not write little, but do not exceed the maximum number of words allowed. Once you have finished writing, read and re-read what you wrote, as you will always find errors and phrases that you can improve. Also ask people who know you to read it and give you their choice.
Try to make an essay that attracts attention from the first moment.
It is essential that both the title of the essay and the first paragraph of the essay capture the attention of the representatives of the Admission Offices. If the title of your essay is common and the first paragraph is simple and boring, it is very likely that you will stop reading it and focus on the hundreds of more essays you should read.
Finally, whenever you are writing the essay, try to show it as you are, because only then will this be an authentic, seller and probably memorable essay. And most importantly, it will be your admission sheet to the program of your dreams abroad.

Insanity (Asylum #1)
By Lauren Hammond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don't care what the staff tells me.
I. Am. Not. Crazy." -Addy
I Think that words aren't enough to describe what what I really feel for this book.
Insanity is a stupendous novel and a real challenge to readers.There were times that it was so difficult to tell the difference between what's real and what's not.Especially the final chapters were so vague and hazy.
Addy had the perfect life.That is until her mother "left" when Addy was 10 years old.Her father became an alcoholic and began abusing her both physically and emotionally.I'm utterly disgusted by him.He would beat her down and call her names and all because she looked like her mother.The thruth is that when I finally read what had really happened,the only thing that came to my mind was what a pathetic excuse of a man he was,a lowlife.
The story had many twists or so I thought because the main character,Addy,was the narrator and anything that happened before and during her life in the asylum was described by her.Although we don't get to see why she got to the asylum,we see some pieces of her past with Damien,who I can't say loved but surely liked.He is so romantic.Here's a taste of him "Addy, living one day without you would never be for the best. I want you every minute of every day. Forever. I love you."
She is so obsessed with him that even in the asylum all about she thnks is him.I think that what she saw when she was just 17 has stuck with her even though she has forgotten everything else.
She seems to believe that her life hasn't progressed since Damien's horrible death but it did.She's so lost,I don't know why as the book doesn't elaborate what she did in order to end up in the asylum,which is so messed up.The only thing that I liked of it was Dr. Watson who later reveals his true identity.His so patient and caring.I bet no man in the world would do what he did for Addy.He's awesome!!!
I loved this book.It's just insanely awesome!I definitely recommend it to anyone and I can't wait to read the folllowing book,White Walls.
Sometimes love...can drive you crazy.
Adelaide Carmichael and Damien Allen couldn't be more opposite.
Adelaide's mother abandoned her when she was ten years old, leaving her to be raised by her abusive and alcoholic father.
Damien on the other hand came from a wealthy family, was a local celebrity, and seemed to have a bright future ahead of him.
Despite their differences, Adelaide and Damien were young, wild, and fiercely in love.
And they had a plan.
They were going to run away.
Be together forever.
And their plan was set in motion, until tragedy struck and for some reason, Adelaide wound up in The Oakhill Institution for the insane.
Adelaide has no idea what she did to wind up at Oakhill, but she knows one thing for sure...
She wants out.
And after Damien follows her there to aid her in escaping, Adelaide slowly begins putting together the pieces of her memory that are missing.
And it doesn't take Adelaide long to figure out that sometimes...
That one true love never dies.

X- ray and radio data let astronomers pinpoint when the black hole system H1743-322 ejected powerful gas 'bullets' during its mid-2009 outburst. In this animation, an X-ray hot spot in the gas around the black hole produced signals of rising frequency as the spot moved closer to the black hole. When the bullets were ejected June 3, the hot spot vanished.

After 16 years in space, NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has made its last observation. The satellite provided unprecedented views into the extreme environments around white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes.
RXTE sent data from its last science observation to the ground early on Jan. 4. After performing engineering tests, controllers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., successfully decommissioned the satellite on Jan. 5.
RXTE far exceeded its original science goals and leaves astronomers with a scientific bounty for years to come. Data from the mission have resulted in more than 2,200 papers in refereed journals, 92 doctoral theses, and more than 1,000 rapid notifications alerting astronomers around the globe to new astronomical activity.
"The spacecraft and its instruments had been showing their age, and in the end RXTE had accomplished everything we put it up there to do, and much more," said Tod Strohmayer, RXTE project scientist at Goddard.
The decision to decommission RXTE followed the recommendations of a 2010 review board tasked to evaluate and rank each of NASA's operating astrophysics missions.
"After two days we listened to verify that none of the systems we turned off had autonomously re-activated, and we've heard nothing," said Deborah Knapp, RXTE mission director at Goddard.
The 7,000-pound satellite is expected to re-enter the atmosphere between 2014 and 2023, depending in large part on solar activity. To celebrate the spacecraft's long and productive career, astronomers will hold a special session on RXTE during the 219th meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Austin, Texas. The session is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 10, at 3 p.m. CST. A press conference on new RXTE results will also be held at the meeting on Jan. 10 at 1:45 p.m. EST.
RXTE opened a new window into the workings of neutron stars and black holes. Using its data, astronomers established the existence of highly magnetized neutron stars (known as magnetars) and discovered the first accreting millisecond pulsars, a previously unseen stage in the formation of "recycled" millisecond radio pulsars that were first glimpsed in the early 1980s. The observatory also provided the first observational evidence of "frame-dragging" in the vicinity of a black hole, an effect predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
RXTE carried three instruments, the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) and the High Energy X-ray Timing Experiment (HEXTE), which could be directed to specific targets. The PCA was developed by Goddard to cover the lower part of the energy range. HEXTE was built by the University of California at San Diego for exploring the upper energy range.
The observatory's instruments measured variations in X-ray emission on timescales as short as microseconds and as long as months across a wide energy span, from 2,000 to 250,000 electron volts. For comparison, the energy of a typical dental X-ray is around 60,000 electron volts.
A third instrument, called the All-Sky Monitor, was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. It scanned about 80 percent of the sky every orbit, giving astronomers the ability to monitor the variable and often unpredictable X-ray sky and to record long-term histories of bright sources.
The astronomical community has recognized the importance of RXTE research with five major awards. These include four Rossi Prizes (1999, 2003, 2006 and 2009) from the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the AAS and the 2004 NWO Spinoza prize, the highest Dutch science award, from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.
The mission was launched as XTE aboard a Delta II 7920 rocket on Dec. 30, 1995, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was renamed RXTE in early 1996 in honor of Bruno Rossi, an MIT astronomer and a pioneer of X-ray astronomy and space plasma physics who died in 1993. RXTE was managed by Goddard.

The TMF/A-802W2 Kerberos BuCUE Hound is a Mobile Suit that first appear in the ONA Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer. It later appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Δ Astray, as well as Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Frame Astrays.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
Kerberos BuCUE Hound is the latest variant of TMF/A-802 BuCUE, it is created to extend the lifespan of the BuCUE series and to complement the "New Millenium" series of MS. The main modification to the suit is the addition of a hardpoint to the turret system on the back, allowing it to use the Wizard Packs of the ZAFT Armed Keeper of Unity. This also serves to improve the suit's versatility, weapon choices and simplifies maintenance and the supply of equipment. To complement the Kerberos Wizard which is designed specifically for close combat, the BuCUE's head has been redesigned and is equipped with a Beam Fang System that can emit short beam blade of various forms. A similar system is also installed in the "heads" of the Kerberos Wizard, which also contain a pair of beam cannons, the only range weapons of the suit. As each of these "heads" are equipped with its own tracking and target acquisition system, they are capable of attacking different directions simultaneously. Just as the Kerberos BuCUE can use Wizard Packs, the Kerberos Wizard can be equipped to a ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior, creating the Kerberos ZAKU Warrior, but due to the unique structure and programming of the Kerberos Wizard, it is not as effective as it would be if were equipped to the Kerberos BuCUE Hound.
- Beam Fang System
- Close combat system of the Kerberos BuCUE Hound, it is mounted on the redesigned BuCUE's head and on the "heads" of the Kerberos Wizard Pack. The beam fang system in the BuCUE's head can emit 5 short beam blade, 1 from the "mouth" and 4 from the sides of the mono-eye sensor, with 2 blades pointing directly forward and 2 blades pointing downwards. The system in the "heads" of the Kerberos Wizard Pack is mounted on the horns and can only emit 2 beam blades, 1 pointing directly forward and another pointing to the side. When the Kerberos Wizard is mounted on the ZAKU Warrior/ZAKU Phantom, the horns can be removed and be used as a handheld beam blade. In this form, the horns can be combined, forming a dual edge beam blade.
- Beam Cannon
- A pair of beam cannons located in the "mouth" of each "head" of the Kerberos Wizard Pack. Like the railguns on the original BuCUE, the beam cannons can be rotated 360 degrees to fire in all directions. Due to the design of the targeting system on the "heads", the cannons' effective range are shortened but in return, they gain higher firing rate which is useful for restricting the enemy during close combat.
Special Equipment & Features
- Wizard Pack Hardpoints
Created at an unknown point of time after the First Alliance-PLANT War, the Kerberos BuCUE Hound is an upgraded variant of the original BuCUE, but designed specifically for close combat. While the old suit could mount railguns or missile launchers on its back, the Kerberos BuCUE can mount the new Wizard Packs. The name of this BuCUE variant is derived from the three heads (one on the original suit and two on the Kerberos Wizard Pack), which is similar to the ones on the mythical Kerberos.
During the Second Alliance-PLANT War, one group of BuCUE Hounds are a part of a ZAFT strike force which attacks the Earth Alliance Hannibal-class Bonaparte. Working together, this group managed to destroy the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel, killing its pilot Mudie Holcroft in the process. However, the group is later destroyed by Sven Cal Payang in his GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir Gundam.
A custom-colored BuCUE Hound belonged to ZAFT pilot Isaac Mau, who joined the crew of the Mars ship Acidalium. He used his suit in several fights against the Earth Alliance, during which he fought alongside the Mars pilots. The first fight was during a meeting between Mars pilot Ergnes Brahe and the members of Phantom Pain, whose only interest in it was to get information from the pilot. Later, Phantom Pain collaborated with the Orb Union to destroy the Mars ship, which resulted in a battle between the Acidalium and a joint Phantom Pain/Orb strike force using GAT-01A2R Slaughter Dagger suits. In this battle, Isaac was able to cripple two of the Daggers which bombarded the ship from afar.
Another custom BuCUE Hound belonged to ZAFT pilot Alec Lad, who is assigned to the Republic of East Asia. Besides using the usual Kerberos Wizard, he also used the Blaze Wizard Pack.
Notes & Trivia
- In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny, the Kerberos BuCue Hound also has the ability to confuse lock-on by taunting like the LaGOWE.

God damn I've had a day.... And it's only 2:42
I'm really happy right now because I'm done with what I literally thought I wasn't going to finish. As you guys know I didn't get shit done this weekend... I mentioned that right? Well I've had this ethics paper hanging over my shoulders for the past couple weeks, I somehow managed to put it off until the last minute because I was so freaking determined to beat Terry on that macro test. And it worked, I got 92%. Beat him by a whopping 10%.
I walked into class and we just looked at eachother and laughed. I knew it was stupid of me to bet on the Broncos, which I'd realized the second I found out the 49ers whooped em last time Broncos were in the superbowl. God that was almost a hard game to watch there toward the end.... Seeing those Colorado boys red faces.
...So yeah, I guess going on about the superbowl with Terry in class yesterday was kind of fun.. I was completely unable to give him the cold shoulder as originally anticipated. He has that affect on me. He drove home this weekend like I did to watch the game with his Dad. I owe him 5 shots of whiskey. I would have today but I'm too damn tired.
I haven't slept in about 30 hours. I started RESEARCHING for that paper yesterday at 5... That's how much of a turd I've been about this. I came back to my apartment and spent the next couple hours reading with Michael. I didn't actually start writing the paper until about 9 pm, and it took me the entire night to just finish the damn introduction. By about 4 this morning when I finished the introduction and had a solid idea what I was writing about I decided to try to get two hours of sleep.
Come to think of it, had I slept two hours this morning I wouldn't have finished. Marshall was the reason I got that paper done and won't automatically get a C- in my management class, alright!!
I'm never procrastinating again I swear.
I laid down on the couch and Marshall was still wide awake running all over. I was still wide awake too but was trying really hard to meditate or something. Marshall jumped up on my coffee table, to get my water of course... knocked it over, broke the glass. So now my carpet is covered in broken glass and I have to get up and clean it. At this point I decided sleeping was probably futile, especially with the amount of stress riding on my shoulder about the enormity of work I had to do to complete this paper.
I just plowed right back into it... until about 9 am. By that time my hands were shaking and I felt sick from exhaustion. I then called my Mom in the midst of a panic attack and she was somehow able to bring me down enough that I was able to finish.
Oh yeah she told me that every assignment she did in college was like how I felt today... That cracked me up.
I think I'm going to bed...

sand filter vs cartridge filter?
is a cartridge filter more energy efficient than a sand filter?
My sand filter currently starts at about 19 psi, and I backwash when it gets upto 23-25psi depending on the water level.
If I had a cartridge filter, would I love more water flow and lower psi?

Last day of the hols today :(
The day started off a bit overcast, then the heavens opened and the thunder and lightning started. Wow what a deluge!
But it had all dried up after lunch time and we made it onto the park again. Did a bit of shopping for the usual souvenir tat, you know.... fridge magnets, toys for the kids etc etc.
Was a bit disappointed that some of the stalls were closed.
Which brings me to my one complaint about Flamingoland... the variety and cost of food on the park is absolutely atrocious. You can have burgers, hot dogs and that's really about it. I expected them to be overpriced, as these places usually are. But at least at the likes of Alton Towers there are real brands like McDonald's.
Anyway, we're just about all packed up and ready to go in the morning. Just need to give the kids breakfast, have a quick whizz round with the hoover and we're all set.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day though, stopping off at Annan on the way home to pick up the travel cot and airbed, so we're hoping to be home early evening.
Can't wait to get home now - I know it sounds awful, but I'm always the same at the end of a holiday, just want home to my own bed.
On a crafty note, remember to pop over to Passion For Promarkers (blinkie on sidebar) and see the new Weekend Workshop. This week's challenge is still ongoing - Caryn chose the colours Moss Green and Poppy with an added extra of "something tasty", if you haven't entered yet, then remember to get your entry in before 9am on Tuesday, when the new challenge starts. And the new challenge colours were chosen by me.
I'm so looking forward to speaking to all the gorgeous ladies on the PfP DT and my other bloggy buddies, I've missed them :) And getting back into the crafty swing of things again. Having my promarkers and prismas here and not being able to use them has been driving me nuts.

These are a few of my favourite things
...As Julie Andrews once sang. With S.O. back at work in the college, she has kindly picked up and passed on a few of her students' germs. While I self-medicate at home, here are some of the best procrastination spots around the web:
1. Over at Psycho-Noir, Heath Lowrance has finished up his revised ten part look at the history of hardboiled/noir. Check that stuff out here, and get ready for his forthcoming series focusing on the 60s/70s golden age of noir. And he does it all for love.
2. Pulp Poem of the Week over at Noirboiled Notes. This is someone who really 'gets' the noir mood. A few of my favourites include this one (he clearly has a thing for Gil Brewer), this one, that one there, hell, I love most of them. And he's only getting better with time.
3. If you love the old pulps, you'll probably like Pulp Curry. Andrew Nette looks at a lot of classic pulp books, but with a focus on Asia and the Antipodes, such as this classy collection of covers here. Look out also for his new weekly series. It's about pulps and it's on Friday. It's appropriately named Pulp Friday.
4. Another blogger who truly understands what noir means, especially in relation to the classic movies. If Noir=Fucked then Fragments of Noir shows us why Fucked=Cool. An essential hangout.
5. This was wrapped up a couple of months ago, but it's worth posting a link to the complete set. And no-one ever accused me of having my finger on the pulse, anyway.
Ten Rules to Write Noir Episode 1, Rule 1: Don't write noir... Whatever the hell Lee Child is doing, do that instead.
Lovely Ben at Dead End Follies persuades ten noir writers to pen their own ten noir-writing rules. I'm not sure the results are useful for wannabees, but it's essential reading. And his forthcoming My Dark Pages project starts next week. Looks mightily interesting.
6. New Pulp Press. I love these guys. From adrenaline (and speed, and scotch)-fuelled thrill rides and desperately deranged trips to hell, to some of the most interesting and promising new voices in hardboiled and noir, like Mr Lowrance and Aaron Philip Clark. A good chunk of the best new pulps are at New Pulp Press, with something to suit every (dark, dangerous, deranged) mood. And they're on kindle for just under 3 quid each. My i-phone is loading up on these guys. What's that? You prefer the classics? Well, f*** you, mister. They've got Gil Brewer as well.
Is that the time? Really? Well, looks like my hot toddy needs a refill.

Workout Stats : Tuesday : 1,371 calories burned!
Workout One:
+30 minutes strength training non-stop circuits
+15 minutes stepmill
+15 minutes bicycle
+15 minutes elliptical
(716 calories burned)
Workout Two:
+90 minutes African Dance Class at Zenon Dance Academy
(655 calories burned)
So I totally feel like I deserve an Olympic Medal today. Not really, I just thought it was a cool image - and I burned a HELL OF A LOT of calories today. I'm very proud of myself. I went back to the gym for the first time since last Wednesday, it was almost a week away and I was dying for it. I pushed myself hardcore and burned 716 calories there.
My sister asked me to come along to the Beginners African Dance class at Zenon. We had gone to this class a few times together about 5 years ago and she started going back. There was a new teacher, and he is from Ghana - so he teaches more traditional dances, which was great because I really connect with them. They tell stories. The old teacher was a some weird white lady. Not that white ladies can't know a lot about African dance... but c'mon. Either way, the first time I ever attended that class I would guess I weighed about 175lbs, but I was very very unfit. My face turned purple from all the strenuous jumping in barefeet and just crazy movements that my body was not used to attempting. This time, the class was still very hard, but no purple face. That's kind of a NSV I guess. Either way, it was a blast and I'm glad I wore my HRM! 655 calories burned there.
I also walked to and from the train to get downtown to Zenon. I didn't count that as anything, but it's probably about a mile (the round trip, not one way).
Oh yeah, and we have a new president. Did you hear? I'm very very excited and moved and inspired and hopeful. Hopeful that people will step up to the plate and stop taking this country for granted. I know so many people who work so hard all day every day to beautify and improve the way we live here... and I want to be able to say EVERYONE I know does that.
I'm doing my part and I know I can do more.
So I will.
