Brace yourself. Winter's coming, with its short days, dark afternoons, and cold and bleak outdoors. That extra indoor time over the cold months leads to restless children and frazzled parents.
After a few months of back-to-school, we're all ready for a change of pace. We could do with a spark of something to add energy to the sluggish weeks and get us excited about our days again.
It's been a tough year for many of us, with family challenges, and fearful things happening in the world. I really feel like I want to gather my children close and spend a cosy and connected winter with them.
So I've come up with a plan.
Winter blues
In September we jump back into school, ready to go. I love to plan at that time of year, and after a pretty carefree summer we all feel ready for some routine and activities for a few months. But as December rolls in, I need a pick-me-up.
It's dark when we get up in the morning, and afternoons out are cut short because the light fades so early. I know my children could do with a change of pace after working hard on lessons for a few months. It's hard to motivate yourself though, to get organised, plan everything, cheer-lead and re-energise everyone else, when you're feeling slower and sluggish yourself, right?
I get it. I love my children, I love spending time with them, and I want our days to feel cosy and connected – I'd just like someone else to organise it all!
That's why I've created the Winter Workshop for us. For me, for my children, for you and for yours. It's just what we need to delight in this winter season.
This is how you get that cosy and connected winter you long for
The Winter Workshop is something I've done with my children for a few years now. It's like an Advent calendar, or a holiday countdown, or a bucket list. It's slow, and delightful, and really easy to follow through.
I'm sharing it on NurtureStore this year and hope you'll join me and share in the benefit of it for your family too.
Here's what you need to do:
:: register your family on the Winter Workshop here
:: anytime you're ready for that winter boost, log in to the NurtureStore membership site and join me for that day's activity: all organised by me, no complicated set-up, no expensive materials needed. Just open up that day's activity, read what i have prepared for you, and enjoy it with your children.
I've based the Winter Workshop around twenty-one words that sum up how I want my family to feel this season. Ideas like light, warmth, welcome, community, cocoa, and cookies.
We'll take one word each day and use that to centre the rhythm, learning, making, and connecting for our family.
A three-week programme of learning, making, and connecting
Our children will be learning as we go:
:: about the earth, the moon, the sun, and the seasons
:: reading and writing both poetry and stories
:: learning which foods are in season, cooking a winter feast, finding out where cocoa comes from, and building kitchen skills
:: creating artworks inspired by the season, with hand-drawn colouring pages and math lessons disguised as art
:: crafting up lanterns, wreaths, and calendars
:: stretching their imaginations with playful, sensory ice and snow, and homemade winter wonderlands
:: and learning how nice it is to pass the winter with ritual and rhythm, cosiness and connection
The workshop is suitable for all families, however old your children, and whatever your faith. With no religious connections the resources work both as an accompaniment, or an alternative, to any winter festival your family may observe.
It can stand alone as your three-week curriculum, or you can enjoy it mixed in with your other learning. There's no pressure to complete the workshop, and you'll have the resources to use all season long, year after year.
This winter will be a delight!
So let's make this winter the year when we delight in the cold and the dark. Gather your children, get cosy, and make memories and connections together.
Click here to treat your family to this Winter Workshop.

Are you impressed?
Check out this video which showed a kid reported to be Canadian pop star Justin Bieber showing off his boxing skills while having a sparring session with two separate opponents.
The video showed "Bieber" who was wearing a head gear and a pair of gloves having a "friendly exchange" with his sparring partners Rory Kramer and Josh Mehl.
The kid showed much better boxing skills than his friends by working off the jab, rolling with the punches and employing decent footwork then connecting some great shots against his sparring partners.
One of his foes even raised his hands to surrender after he got hurt and was already being swarmed by the kid.
The pop star is known to have trained under retired boxing star Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Calcutta HC dismisses WB govt petitions on NandigramNovember 16th, 2007 - 6:27 pm ICT by admin
Kolkata, Nov 16 (ANI):The Calcutta High Court today dismissed all petitions filed by the Buddhadeb Bhattacharya Government in West Bengal in connection with the Nandigram violence on March 14.
The High Court asked the State Government to give compensation of five hundred thousand rupees to the families of those who were killed, two hundred thousand rupees to women who were raped or molested, and one hundred thousand rupees to those who were injured.
The court also rejected the plea of Advocate General Balai Roy, and directed the government to continue the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) inquiry into the matter.
Terming the March 14 killing in Nandigram as "totally unconstitutional", the high court stated that the incident could have been avoided had the police exercised self-restraint.
On November 15, the Bharatiya Janata Party said that it will move an Adjournment Motion over the issue in the Lok Sabha on Monday, and has cited the discussion of the 2002 Gujarat riots in the Parliament as an example of a 'State issue' being debated in the Parliament.
"Why can't Nandigram be discussed when Gujarat has been discussed several times," party leader V K Malhotra had said.
Yesterday, intellectuals and eminent personalities led a march in Kolkata to protest the violence in Nandigram over acquisition of farmland for an industrial hub.
A six-member National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) team visited Nandigram to study the situation and suggest remedial measures.
Earlier, the NHRC issued a notice to the West Bengal Government directing it to submit a factual report on the conditions prevailing in Nandigram within 10 days.
The West Bengal Government had planned to set up a Special Economic Zone
(SEZ) for chemical industries in Nandigram, but had to abort the project as villagers refused to give their farmland for the project.
The row saw violent clashes between residents opposed to the project and the communist supporters as well as police.
At least six villagers were killed and dozens injured in Nandigram last week in clashes between rival groups led by Communists and a frontal organisation backed by Trinamool Congress party. (ANI)

We're bound for Yellowstone National Park and many other places along the way. This trip was sort of spontaneous for us, so it's hard for me to believe we're really on the road. We're so excited and thankful that God has blessed us with this opportunity.
Other than flying to Colorado and Arizona, the children and I have never been out West. Kurt made several road trips out here with his family when he was a boy. In fact, his family traveled to all of the lower forty-eight states over a period of several years. I just think that is so neat, and we've decided it would be a fun goal for our family too! Let's see, I've been to twenty-five of them, Superman has been to fourteen, and both of the girls have been to twelve. We've got a ways to go, but this trip will chalk up a few more for us.
Here is our itinerary…
8/11 - Hit the road and spend the night in Coralville, Iowa.
8/12 - Head for Mitchell, South Dakota where we'll see the Corn Palace.
8/13 - Drive to Wall, South Dakota, stop in at the famous Wall Drugstore, and begin exploring Badlands National Park.
8/14 - See a bit more of the Badlands and head on up the road to Custer State Park. We'll stay here for a couple of days and see Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Bear Country, and possibly Jewel Cave or Wind Cave National Park if we have time.
8/17 - Hit the road once again and head for Cody, Wyoming. There is a huge Buffalo Bill Museum here that we'll take in, as well as a rodeo and a gunfight right on Main St.!
8/18 - Today we'll drive through the southwest corner of Yellowstone Park on our way to the Grand Tetons, where we'll stay for three days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
8/21 - We'll take our time driving up through Yellowstone again to Emigrant, Montana, which will be our base for touring the park.
8/24 - Say goodbye to Yellowstone and head for home.
We haven't decided on our exact route home yet. (I told you we were being spontaneous!) We'll definitely head out across Montana, and then through North Dakota, and maybe Minnesota and Wisconsin. We'd like to make a couple of stops along the Lewis and Clark Trail and see one of the Laura Ingalls homesites on our way home. If any of you live in any of these places or have made this trip, I'd love to hear your opinions on things we don't want to miss as we head back east!
Also, we'll be in the Yellowstone area on Giggly Girl's birthday, so if any of you westerners have any suggestions for a fun place to celebrate a six year old's birthday, please let me hear your ideas. :)
I'll try to post pictures and updates when I can!

Hi guys, how are we all?
Its time again for another weekly loves post, but somehow it doesn't feel appropriate considering we have lost a comedic genius. If you haven't already heard, then the great Robin Williams sadly passed away. I have been far too upset to read too much into it and have instead, spent my days watching his films. I know you may think it's a little extreme for me to feel like this considering I don't know the guy but I have watched Robin Williams in movies for as long as I can remember and I feel as though I grew up with him in my life. I do understand suicide was an issue here, again, I don't know too much but please, please, please speak to someone if you feel yourself going down this path. There are always people who will listen to you and try to help as much as they can. I know we all like to think it may come in the form of family or friends but sometimes it comes from a stranger on the other end of a phone or by any other means. I don't want this post to get too deep as I know not everyone is here for that reason but please speak to someone instead of taking this route.
I haven't really been loving a lot this week to be fair as I said due to me lazing around watching movies all day but the things I have been reaching for when I've needed to get out my pit are some old products that I forgot I had to be honest. Let's dive straight in shall we.
1. Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzer (£31) - This has been keeping me looking rather sun-kissed over the past week which has kept me very happy since it's been very gloomy here in Glasgow. I have loved this for a very long time but as the same as most beauty bloggers i tend to move onto other products to test them out and forget about all my past greats. I love the subtle colour this gives to my face which doesn't make it look too "done up" especially if i want a natural finish with some concealer, bronzer, blusher, mascara and a tinted lip balm. In love...again!
2. Nail Polish Free Nails - My nails have been such a problem over the past couple of months so i decided to clear off the nail polish and just focus on getting my nails back to a normal state again. I have actually forgot how nice it is just to apply some hand & nail cream and leave them to breathe to be to be honest! If you have any suggestions on what can make my splitting nails come back to life please let me know in the comments below.
3. Hand Food by Soap & Glory (from £2.50) - Since I've kept the nail polish off i have been packing on the hand cream and the one I have been reaching for the most is obviously Hand Food. This has always been a trusty companion but i have noticed my hands looking ever so slightly better and they feel like a dream!
4. Anna Jones: A Modern Way to Eat - I bought this cookbook for my kindle and i swear it hasn't left my kitchen! I have tried out a few of the recipes and i have to say i am pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food is. As I've said before i am really conscience of what I'm putting in my body now so i really like having meat free days or just having a vegetarian meal for dinner which doesn't make me feel sluggish. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is already vegetarian or who would like to try some healthier and tastier veggie dishes as these are beautiful, i especially loved the avocado and zest of lemon spaghetti... mmmmhhmm!
5. A Lovely Side Project - Ever since i found Lauren on bloglovin i have been obsessing over her recipes. Every day for breakfast or lunch i have had one of her delicious juices which I've changed into a smoothie as i like them better but oh-my-gosh they are amazing. I would suggest heading over to her blog to check her out, she also blogs about beauty and fashion so she incorporates a lot into her posts.
6. Jack & Good Will Hunting - These are 2 of my all-time favourite films as they remind me of special times when i was younger so I wanted to include them in my weekly favourites. As I said, I have been watching Robin Williams's movies again this week ever since i heard the devastating news.
If you haven't seen either of these, then Jack is about a 10 year old boy who has an ageing disorder making him look 40 years old. This is a beautiful film, wasn't such a smash at the box office but I loved it. Good Will Hunting was written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon which is about a young arrogant Boston man who is maths genius. This is a must see movie, all the actors are amazing in it but I especially love RW as you didn't get to see that acting side of him very often.
Robin Williams was such a great actor and he will be missed dearly.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Goodnight Chief

Top Ways to Add More Fruits and Veggies to Your Day
One of the best ways to manage your weight more successfully and increase your overall nutritional profile is to add more fruits and veggies to your diet. But in today's challenging food culture, that's certainly easier said than done!
Here are our top 10 ways to eat at least 5 full-cup servings of fruits and veggies every day:
1. Start tracking. Use a record keeping form or app. Keep your tracking form or book handy, so you can update it throughout the day. The best way to change behavior is to keep track, set goals and be accountable!
2. Shop and chop. Instead of just putting all your fruits and veggies in the fridge when you come home, take the time to wash and cut veggies. Some ideas: make a fruit salad, peel bananas and freeze them for smoothies, cut up veggies for snacking.
3. An apple a day... Try adding a piece of fruit, such as an apple, to your daily breakfast.
4. Four before 4:00. Try a smoothie with fruit, followed by mid-morning melon, and a chopped Mexican salad at noon. Or, try making a veggie scramble for breakfast, followed by a fruit salad. Sooner is better!
5. One-pot meals. Veggie soups, stews, and chili. Easy to make and lots of leftovers. Keep it simple!
6. Be an artist. Each meal and snack should have a variety of colors. No beige plates!
7. Try meatless Mondays (or any other day of the week). Try a new vegetarian recipe for dinner. Search online or purchase a vegetarian cookbook.
8. Buy fresh and local. Join a CSA and get your produce fresh from the farm or shop at your local farmers' market.
9. Eat 3 out. When choosing from a menu, start with the salads and sides, then add appetizers. Build your meal from the veggies up and aim for 3 full servings every time.
10. Be adventurous and try new things! Explore different vegetables and fruits and share them with friends and family. Be creative. Have some fun!
Treat yourself to the healthiest foods on the planet – foods that will help you manage your weight and your health. When it comes to fruits and veggies – More is always Better!

text: Given that his reported sayings are ambiguous to say the least in relation to his claiming divinity, this goes to the heart of how Xtians should perceive this meddlesome Jew. If he knew he was God, then all the suffering and angst ('Father, why have you forsaken me'? et al) is merely 2000 year old melodrama. He obviously knew he had no problems getting past some temporal physical pain, with certain paradise waiting on the other side? Who in history could have claimed such inside knowledge? Given his magical abilities to know the future, what did he sacrifice? Why would he bat an eyelid at a few nails and thorns? Unless of course he was what a non supernatural prism would reveal... a devout reformist human Jew.

Step 1: Wire JY-MCU to Arduino
Your JY-MCU should have four pins, with labels for each one on the back. The VCC pin should go to the 5V pin on your arduino. The ground pin on your JY-MCU should go to the ground pin on your arduino (duh) which is right next to the 5V pin. The TXD pin on the JY-MCU goes to the digital pin 0, which should have the letters RX next to it. Finally, the RXD pin on the JY-MCU should go to digital pin 1, which should have the letters TX next to it. The RX and TX pins are right next to each other.
TXD ------ Digital pin 0
RXD ------ Digital pin 1
Step 2: Test Code
Test Code:
char vel;
int ledPin = 13;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
void loop() {
if(Serial.available()) {
val = Serial.read();
if(val == 'H') {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
Step 3: Connect to and Test JY-MCU
The JY-MCU module uses bluetooth's serial communication to send and recieve characters that can be used to control things. For example, in the test code, when the module recieves the character "H", led 13 will light up on your arduino board. To connect to the module, your arduino needs to be powered. You should also have the test code running on the arduino. Before you have connected the module, there will be a red light blinking.
Connect on a Computer(windows):
Your computer needs to have built in bluetooth or an external usb dongle.
1. Download PuTTy
2. Go to the control panel. Then click "Add a device" under the Hardware and Sound section. In a second your Bluetooth device should show up on the list. Mine was called HC-06. The default password is 1234. The add a device window should close automatically after you enter the password. The module won't say it is connected - this is fine do not worry about it. Right click on your device, click properties and go to the hardware tab. The window should say what COM port it is on. In my case the COM port was COM5.
3. Open putty. When you open putty it will automatically be on the SSH connection type. Change this to the serial connection type. In the Serial line box, type what COM port your module was on (I had to put COM5). Change the speed to 115200. Click open. A window will open if everything goes right. The JY-MCU should go from blinking red to solid red. Now, if you have the test program in the arduino, when you press "H" in the window led 13 should light up on the arduino. When you press "L", the light will turn off.
Congrats! You have succesfully connected to the Bluetooth module!
Connect on Android:
This method is much easier than the computer one. Your android phone must have built in Bluetooth.
1. Go the the bluetooth settings. Connect to the module and put int the password, 1234. Like the computer the android won't say it's connected.
2. Download this from the play store: Bluetooth Serial Controller
3. In the app, click the magnifying glass. Then click on your JY-MCU module. It should then connect. The blinking red light on the module should go to solid red. Then you can type "H" on the line and click send. Led 13 should light up. It will turn off is you send "L".
Congrats! You have successfully connected to the Bluetooth module via your phone!
Step 4: The Rest Is Up to You!
The rest is up to you! You now have the power of Bluetooth. You can create tons of remote-controlled robots now. There are many projects on instructables that use this awesome little module. One of my favorites is this rover made by ASCAS: DIY Phone Controlled FPV Rover (Fast & Agile)
Have fun! Leave a comment with any questions/concerns.

vel on top of the code should be val
when connect the JY-MCU Bluetooth module to the arduino uno and want to upload the test code, I received this message:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
do you have an explanation
Thank you very much
that is the problem of the atmel chip. same happened to me, i bought a new one. its pretty cheap
Always disconnect TX and RX pins from Arduino when uploading the code. Good Luck!
Hi, that error happens when your computer has trouble communicating with the arduino. Make sure you have the correct board chosen in the arduino IDE. Please let me know if this helped you or not.
Good luck!
Congratulations! Awesome instructable. What about the 3,3V Voltage on RX pin of the module (Arduino delivers 5V)?
Very nice.

When I first started Rise of the Dead I only knew that I wanted to create a zombie novel that contained some themes from one of my favorite books, Catcher in the Rye. It always seemed to me that zombies could be the perfect vehicle to discuss protecting innocence, fighting against time and death, and rebelling against a "phony" society. However, I didn't want the book to be a literary work per se, or try to emulate the great fiction of Salinger. I wanted the novel to be entertaining first and foremost and create a simple way for readers to explore these ideas without being too bogged down by the seriousness of them.
I tried to leave some tip-offs throughout the book that would easily lead any readers that are familiar with Catcher in the Rye to understand that this novel draws a lot of themes from that text. Some of the references are more obvious than others. In the early chapters, Blake's explanation of his book and the title were meant to mirror the way Holden Caulfield discusses the book his brother wrote. There are numerous other lines and happenings throughout the book that are intended to point the reader that way.
There are also numerous references to being phony or things that seem fake throughout the early chapters. Much of the struggle of the characters come from having to actually interact and care about the people around them. When the zombie attack happens, people stop pretending to be nice to each other and civilization quickly decays. The technology that we use daily as a medium for our existence breaks down, and people are suddenly forced to deal with reality again.
Children also play a big role in the novel. There are many instances where the loss of innocence comes into play when Blake encounters Melanie, Natalie, and other children throughout the novel. The appearance of children throughout the book always have the biggest impact on driving the story along, and affecting Blake's character. This is meant to parallel Holden's love of childhood and his struggle against joining the adult, or in Blake's case, the zombie, world. There is a whole symbolism parallel intended for the final moments of the novel, but I will leave out the details avoid to any spoilers if you have not read the book. If you haven't, what are you doing reading this first? Go get the book already.
Or, you can ignore all that and read it as just another zombie book. I hope I've left it to the readers to decide what it is and how much they want to see in it. Most of all, I hope you enjoy the ride.

GROW: Growing Regional Opportunities for Work
GROW Ballarat is a three-year program that focuses on bringing together philanthropic, business, government and community organisations across the Ballarat region with the goal of creating sustainable employment opportunities for target cohorts of disadvantaged job-seekers. By the end of the three-year period, GROW Ballarat aims to create local jobs in Ballarat and its immediate surrounds and to develop a number of social procurement and investment projects to support ongoing economic and social prosperity across the region. The GROW philosophy believes that a prosperous community cares for the well-being of all of its members.
It's a long-term strategy that will benefit and strengthen the social and economic fabric of the entire G21 region over coming years. The GROW philosophy is that a prosperous community cares for the well-being of all of its members. GROW Ballarat was launched on the 17th of May 2018 by Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford with Highlands Local Learning and Employment Network leading the implementation for Regional Development Victoria (RDV). The GROW initiative also has plans to roll out in Gippsland, Bendigo and Shepperton.
In 2014, the first GROW initiative was developed in response to the G21 Addressing Disadvantage Taskforce Report in which it was acknowledged that innovative, collaborative and evidence-based approaches were needed to tackle the problem of entrenched poverty and disadvantage in the Geelong region.
After four-years GROW G-21 (Geelong) has signed on more than 80 local businesses and organisations, which has created 80 jobs and led to a shift towards local spending valued at $20.21 million.
GROW is based upon evidence that suggests that the most effective way to improve outcomes for persistently disadvantage communities is to reduce unemployment rates within those areas, and by doing so, strengthen the social and economic fabric of the region.
How will GROW Ballarat achieve this?
The GROW compact aims to increase employment opportunities for disadvantage job-seekers by using the following principles:
- Buy Local: to support local businesses to thrive and prosper in Ballarat, and in turn, keep money spent in our region.
- Buy Social: to support socially driven purchasers and social enterprise suppliers coming together - building on business relationships that generate benefits to communities across Ballarat.
- Offer employment pathways: Traineeships, apprenticeships, work placements and work experience help train people for real and accessible employment opportunities. This means that job seekers are equipped with the skills they require to meet job needs.
- Employ from target areas: Focusing on equitable access to employment and helping to create strong, skilled and inclusive communities.
- Business adopting GROW principles: By adopting our principles, buying local and buying social will become 'second nature' and will reinforce the ongoing prosperity of local business and ensure there are ongoing employment opportunities.
Early Adopters for GROW Ballarat
The following businesses have already committed: Petstock, Ballarat Health Services and Haymes Paint.

Our old wooden braiding machines
What are wooden looms for?
Wooden looms are useful for making many braided products such as cords, braids, flat braids, picot braids, multi-circuit braids, piping, helical cords, soutache braids, princess braids, serpentines or croquet braids, rat-tail braids, etc., with a very fine level of braid.
Producing 5 metres per hour, the wooden looms allow fine, delicate threads to be used (fine cotton, viscose or silk, ...).
We can also manufacture large quantities by putting several identical looms in line on the "ménard" (a cylindrical drive for multiple looms).
How to use those products when creating clothes?
Wooden looms produce fine, delicate products at low speed
Age-old expertise preserved thanks to SCF.
The story of the Saint Chamond wooden looms
In December 2013, Société Choletaise de Fabrication acquired 950 wooden braiding looms mostly from the late 19th century, with the oldest dating back to 1830, 950 wooden braiding looms from the late 19th century, with the oldest dating back to 1830. The looms, steeped in history, have been preserved by an enthusiast named Guy Camus. He passed on his rare expert knowledge to us.
The origins of this unique and extraordinary collection go back to the acquisition of a company by Guy Camus senior; it was a business that had been in existence since the early 19th century (1833) in Saint Chamond, in the Auvergne.
When Guy Camus took over the business from his father, he provided new impetus for subsequent strong development. He regularly bought and refurbished machines, … as he was keen to preserve the expertise. Thus, when the business moved to new premises, Guy was involved in setting up the Braiding and shoelace Museum in La Terrasse-sur-Dorlay, donating around 50 looms. Two looms also went to the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.
The design of these weaving looms dates back to 1748, when they were invented by Thomas Wadford (from Manchester). M. In 1785, Perrault improved Wadford's design with the introduction of a part called a goose foot, which enabled the looms to be automated.
From 1830 until the 1960s, Saint Chamond was the braiding and shoelace capital of France, with 14 manufacturers of wooden looms. In the first half of the 20th century, every young girl or woman in the Saint Chamond area spent time working on the wooden looms.
Saint Chamond was also where the first shoelaces were invented and manufactured. Tips were made of metal.
SCF is resuming production of premium quality shoelaces
A cord is produced on the wooden looms then waxed or glazed (depending on the required effect) before the tips (in acetate or metal) are added. This gives a flexible lace with a uniform, smooth appearance.
We also offer coloured acetate tips. What could be smarter for a black shoelaces than a matt black tip.
Products for clothing and lingerie
Flat braid is ideal for clothing, it can be used to hold or decorate whilst remaining flexible. In viscose or wool, it can also make a belt for a dress.
Serpentine, soutache, scalloped or picot braiding can all add an original touch.
Products for embroiderers
Part of the French haute couture tradition, embroiderers use soutache and princess braids, cords, flat braids, etc., all produced on the wooden braiding looms. The fine grain combines perfectly with the accuracy of the work.

Oryx And CrakeeBook - 2003
Margaret Atwood's new novel is so utterly compelling, so prescient, so relevant, so terrifyingly-all-too-likely-to-be-true, that readers may find their view of the world forever changed after reading it. This is Margaret Atwood at the absolute peak of her powers. For readers of Oryx and Crake , nothing will ever look the same again.
The narrator of Atwood's riveting novel calls himself Snowman. When the story opens, he is sleeping in a tree, wearing an old bedsheet, mourning the loss of his beloved Oryx and his best friend Crake, and slowly starving to death. He searches for supplies in a wasteland where insects proliferate and pigoons and wolvogs ravage the pleeblands, where ordinary people once lived, and the Compounds that sheltered the extraordinary. As he tries to piece together what has taken place, the narrative shifts to decades earlier. How did everything fall apart so quickly? Why is he left with nothing but his haunting memories? Alone except for the green-eyed Children of Crake, who think of him as a kind of monster, he explores the answers to these questions in the double journey he takes - into his own past, and back to Crake's high-tech bubble-dome, where the Paradice Project unfolded and the world came to grief.
With breathtaking command of her shocking material, and with her customary sharp wit and dark humour, Atwood projects us into an outlandish yet wholly believable realm populated by characters who will continue to inhabit our dreams long after the last chapter.

A philosophical look at genetic engineering that is dark and sad and beautifully written that will make you THINK about what we are doing to ourselves and the planet and where it will all lead. Read the whole trilogy!
This book starts out sort of slow, but the ending is definitely worth it! Margaret Atwood's imagination is unbelievable, and just like many of her novels, this one has quite the twist. Atwood's storytelling style with "Oryx and Crake"--going back and forth between past and present--allows you to be introduced to the main character's present life whilst increasingly showing glimpses of the past until the big reveal.
An excellent dystopian novel. As is typical of Atwood, it's more a novel of ideas than of action. It will make the reader think! Those who are loving The Handmaid's Tale renewed popularity right now should check this first book in Atwood's t MaddAddam trilogy out!
A very compelling look at the end of the world, narrated by someone who accidentally helped to cause it. Unlike many post-apocalyptic novels, the action in this one occurs mainly in our narrator's mind, as he struggles with memory and guilt. Very well-written and sophisticated take on the genre.
I love sci fi. I generally don't read dystopian fiction. This mix of sci fi, dystopian fiction and satire started slowly but became very interesting. Some of the science (spider goats) is real, and a lot of the sci fi sounds very plausible.
A really great book if you're a fan of science fiction or dystopian futurism. Very well-written, satirical and scarily prescient. Although Atwood is more of a literary writer, she reminds me of Philip K. Dick in her sensibility, humor and opinions about the state of the world. This book enthralled me, in fact, it was so compelling. The second book in the trilogy is also worth reading, but it's not as good. By the third book, Atwood had run out of steam on this particular universe. However, Oryx and Crake on its own makes great reading, although if you're looking for hope for the future of this benighted society, you might want to look elsewhere.
couldn't get through it. Just didn't hold my attention. I'm a sci-fi lover by the way too.
Oryx and Crake is an example of Margaret Atwood doing what she does so well: speculative fiction. In an elaborately crafted dystopian setting Atwood focuses on a hermit named Snowman living in the post-apocalyptic world who reveals that he used to be called Jimmy. As a teenager Jimmy became friends with a brilliant but strange student named Glenn who goes by the nickname Crake. As the story unfolds, the reader is given a view of what Jimmy's world was like and the destruction that man has caused through everything from environmental damage to genetic manipulation. Second only to The Handmaid's Tale Atwood masterfully weaves a tale that will appeal to anyone interested in any form of speculative fiction, be it The Hunger Games or The Road.
Oryx and Crake, an interesting yet confusing read for myself and yet fulfilling. I personally had difficulty with the story with the frequent time jumping and the information given to me as if i knew what it was in the first place. It was truly confusing. And yet, everything the author Margaret Atwood did made the book all that better, when I was finally given all the pieces of the puzzle i finally understood and it made the book all that more enjoyable. For those which want a different kind of mystery which is filled with philosophical messages and shows you the darkness of humanity. This book is a good read, if you do not wish to think of such things however. May be best to give this book a small sample before moving on. So, overall. A long read, but extremely satisfying.
- @Kuhaica of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
Too contrived for my taste. I feel I was being intellectually bludgeoned by the ecological far-left. May be more interesting for adolescent, young adult readers.

10 Reasons to Join the Armed Forces
Thinking about joining? Here are 10 reasons why the Military could make a good career.
1. Armed Forces are always in demand but there is predicted to be a shortfall in 2011–so if you're unemployed what are you waiting for?
2. It pays! You don't have to be a genius to know that service members don't earn whopping great salaries–but there are many other benefits like food, accommodation, and free health and dental care. The pay works on systems of different Bands so a recruit would start on Band 1 and depending on the job, the salary can be anything between £15,683–£28300 after training.
3. There are then many opportunities for promotion throughout the forces and with this promotion come more benefits. Arguably the salaries start relatively low, however as personnel progress through the pay bands the rises become competitive. You get promoted and take on bigger roles over time.
4. There are lots of different opportunities in the military that you wouldn't find ordinarily. You can work in military colleges, nuclear-subs, hospitals, aircraft, air-ambulances, combat zones, the police, naval ships, intelligence, the community and more.
5. The military can make a difference in people's lives. Helping people lead better lives is satisfying and important. You could be deployed to Afghanistan to join a PRT (Provincial Reconstruction Team) in which you help local communities rebuild with logistical, economic, and cultural support.
6. The military interact with different people every day.
7. The fitness is free! You will have compulsory fitness classes every week undergoing training in the gym and cross-country to maintain your healthy levels. In addition there are many sports organistations and teams you can join such as Football, Netball, Rugby, Cricket, Hockey and Athletics.
8. If you're a member of a sports team you can travel to locations in the UK competing with other teams for championships, and go one better and travel abroad to international competitions too.
9. Needless to say, the life is exciting. You never know what's going to happen, and have to stay on your toes, solve problems and make good decisions. Everyday is different on deployment.
10. Military personnel can change trades and/or receive further training for their chosen speciality. For example, if you're interested in mechanics or field medicine, you can move into those areas when the opportunities arise.

Counselling and seat allotment process for JEE Advanced will begin from June 19, 2018. The first round of seat allocation will be held on June 29, 2018 (tentative). The counselling process can be broadly divided into following steps:
The seat allotment process would be conducted by Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSSA) which was formed in 2015 by the collaboration of Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) and Joint Admission Board (JAB) for conducting seat allocation procedure for the academic programs offered by IITs/ NITs/ ISM/ IIITs and other GFTIs for the academic year 2018-19.
Candidates should go through all the steps of JEE Advanced 2018 Counselling process, discussed below in detail.
Candidates are first required to register online for JEE Advanced 2018 Counselling after fourth week of June, 2018. Candidates need to enter personal details such as JEE Advanced Application number and roll number, DOB and create new User ID and password.
Candidates will have to fill up their choices by logging in using their Registration No (User ID), Roll No and Password to fill their choices as per branch, course and institute preference. They are permitted to change, edit, delete or add new choices until finalizing their choices. Candidates must lock their final choices before the due dates failing which leads to choices are locked automatically.
Applicants can select a maximum of 50 choices during online locking of choices. They are advised to take a print out of their finally submitted choices.
Candidates planning to apply for Mining and Mining Machinery Engineering and related courses must fulfill additional fitness criteria as mentioned below:
The JEE Advanced 2018 seat allotment would be conducted on the basis of All India Rank (AIR) secured by the candidates in JEE Advanced and the choices filled by them during choice filling and locking. Seat allotment for qualified students has been divided into three categories namely,
The candidates can follow the steps mentioned below to check the status of seat allotment during JEE Advanced 2018 Counselling. The opening and closing ranks for all the categories would vary. Hence, the candidates securing higher in their respective categories will be allotted seats accordingly.
Note: The seat allocation in JEE Advanced 2018 Counselling would be completed within three rounds. All the candidates are therefore advised to check the status after the completion of ever round, as there is a possibility that the seats allotted to them are upgraded because other students have either withdrawn from the course or have accepted seats they prefer.
Candidates are required to report to the Zonal IIT after the seats are allotted to them. All the candidates should be present in person for verification of documents and payment of admission fee. The registration fee for General and reserved categories is mentioned below.
|Fee (INR)
Some of the important points for reporting to allotted centers for taking provisional admission are mentioned below. Candidates who don't report to the Zonal IIT before the stipulated deadline will not be considered for seat allotment and their seats will be automatically forfeited. In case, the applicants are offered an up gradation, they will have to forfeit the seat allotted to them earlier in order to accept the upgraded seat.
The institutes will issue a final allotment letter and grant provisional admission to candidates after verifying the documents and the fee is paid by the candidate. Candidates who fail to meet any eligibility criteria or are caught providing false information/documents will be debarred from the counselling process and their admission would be immediately deemed cancelled.
Students are required to submit original documents along with one attested photocopy during verification for taking provisional admission.

Click here to view an interactive map of the Northern Ireland dataset as currently collated by CEDaR.
The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
Very like C. crenularia (described elsewhere) but is an epiphyte with a paler grey thallus and larger discs (to 2mm diam.) most frequent on hazel and in willow swamp. It may also be found on the main trunk of trees with a basic bark. It appears to have increased its range significantly in recent years.

As college baseball teams across the country prepare for Super Regionals, the search is on to fill the vacancy left by Chad Holbrook in the University of South Carolina's dugout. Some have argued that expectations were too high following former head coach and current USC athletics director Ray Tanner after winning two straight national championships. However, Tanner dismissed the notion with the reminder that he, too, followed tough acts in the coaching ranks as well.
"I came here many years ago with the legacy of Bobby Richardson had and the tenure that June Raines and the success, the tradition, and the history of this program," Tanner said. "I don't think much about that. What I think about is that it is a great opportunity. It has tradition as I mentioned. It has great history. We have a wonderful fan base. We have great opportunities to be successful and that has been realized. Hopefully, it will be certainly going forward."
The expectations from fans and those closest to the baseball program will always remain high and the next man to fill out the lineup cards for the Gamecocks will somehow have to find a way to meet, or preferably exceed, those expectations.
Take note. Holbrook and the Gamecocks finished the year 35-25 while ending the year with a tremendous run in the SEC Tournament as a double-digit seed. Most teams would take a finish like that in a heartbeat. However, South Carolina isn't most teams and the standard the program holds itself to is simple: Omaha or bust.
So what type of coach can get South Carolina back under the lights of TD Ameritrade Park?
"A coach that is much like the ones that have been here in the past," Tanner said. "Coaches that embrace this tradition, embrace this fan base, embrace the expectations, embrace a wonderful atmosphere here at Founders Park with opportunities galore to compete at a high level. And you always hear people talk about the cliché of someone who fits and I think that can be used broadly but someone that understands our culture and maybe has experienced it one way or another being in this region or in the Southeast."
Although a timeline on when the new coach would be hired was not given, Tanner has made assurances that the Gamecocks will be competitive in finding the best fit for the program while remaining in, or possibly surpassing, the salary range of SEC coaches.
"It's way early in the process," Tanner said, "but it's important that we're in the marketplace. I think that you can look at our coaches today across the board and we're pretty close in all of our situations. If those are the numbers in baseball that we're dealing with based on experience and their résumé, I can tell you that's a possibility."
Many programs may go through the process of using a search firm to hire coaches, but Tanner made one thing absolutely clear about Carolina's next coach. The search for that person will start and end with him.
"We will not be hiring a search firm,' Tanner said. "So, I think that I haven't lost the connections maybe that I've had over the years being part of the NCAA Selection Committee. It's enhanced that in a lot of ways. I've had a lot of coaches and athletic directors call me throughout the season telling me how good their teams were as we were starting to pick the teams. But I feel like that is a little bit of an advantage with the relationships that I have created over the years as we pursue hiring a new coach as soon as possible."

A rare disease that robs children of their mobility called ataxia-telangiectasia does not have the type of fundraising clout that other child diseases, like cancer, have been able to muster.
So it is mostly the parents of the children themselves who have to fund research for the disease the parents call A-T, thought to occur in one in every 40,000 to 100,000 people worldwide but often misdiagnosed, according to Jennifer Thornton, executive director of the A-T Children's Project (ATCP).
Currently, it is estimated that only 500 to 600 children are diagnosed in the U.S. and often they are siblings, Thornton said.
The thing is, although we may not be doing research to affect you directly because the disease our kids have is so rare, it still may affect a disease you are familiar with. The AT protein basically controls everything the body does. One way or another, there is a connection to everyone through that A-T protein.
Mote Ranch resident Samantha Dzembo, mother of Connor, 10, who has A-T
Two of those parents raising money for A-T are Manatee County residents Nicholas and Samantha Dzembo, whose 10-year-old son Connor, who loves playing video games and riding on the scariest roller coasters he can find, was diagnosed with A-T at age 3.
Ataxia refers to poor coordination and telangiectasia to small, dilated blood vessels, both appearing in those afflicted, the Dzembos said.
Since the number of children impacted is so small, the parents of A-T children across the United States almost all know each other, sharing information and providing support.
The ATCP was started in 1993 by Brad and Vicki Margus, a husband and wife in Boca Raton who have four children, two with A-T.
The ATCP reaches out to newly diagnosed families when they get word, including the Dzembos, Thornton said.
"We would not be where we are today with regard to understanding A-T without the Margus family and the ATCP," Samantha Dzembo said.
In 2009, about four months after their son was diagnosed, the Dzembos started a foundation called Wobbly Feet to raise money for research and to help other families with financial grants for uncovered critical treatment, therapy and equipment they need for their child.
At wobblyfeet.org, the public can learn more or donate. To date, the Wobbly Feet 501 C3 has raised more than $400,000.
What is A-T and its cause?
A-T is a progressive neurological disease caused by a mutation in the ATM gene.
Since this gene has mutated or is defective, the ATM protein is missing in the cells of people who have A-T, the Dzembos said.
The loss of this ATM protein results in symptoms mirroring various other diseases like Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's Disease immune deficiency and Parkinson's, and it leaves those diagnosed 1,000 percent more at risk than their peers for blood cancers, said Samantha Dzembo, who has immersed herself in the study of the disease's cause and treatment.
Children who lack this important protein wobble or sway when they walk and have coordination problems with their arms and hands and involuntary twitching, often leading to the full-time use of a walker or wheelchair by age 10.
Reading is a problem because they have to constantly control their wandering eyes. They can develop respiratory infections and can have a severely weakened immune system, both leaving them susceptible to a threat even from the common cold, Samantha Dzembo said.
Ten to 15 years ago, the life expectancy of A-T children was living into their 20s. But presently, the average life expectancy continues to improve, the Dzembos said.
Parents of A-T children have learned how to better guard their children against chronic lung disease, which claims lives in about one-third of the cases, and now have better treatments against pneumonia blood cancers like leukemia, which also claims about a third of A-T cases.
Kids with A-T struggle with everyday activities like walking, talking, reading and eating that other kids take for granted. Kids like Connor can definitely be determined as they work hard to try to keep up with others.
Jennifer Thornton of the A-T Children's Project
The chilling fact about A-T is that in order for a child to get it, each parent must be a carrier of the gene, meaning they have one normal copy of the A-T gene and one copy that is mutated.
The odds against that are staggering, since only approximately one percent of the U.S. population is thought to have a genetic mutation for the ATM gene, the Dzembos said.
"We found out that both Nicholas and I are carriers after sequencing Connor's DNA and confirming our own mutations after his diagnosis," Samantha Dzembo added. "We learned we had a one-in-four chance that our child would have A-T."
Since being a carrier of A-T is rare, most people do not know if they have the mutated gene unless a relative finds out they have the gene, the Dzembos said.
A strong-looking lad
To see Connor in a swimming pool, working with Maria Barringhaus, owner of School of Fish, which provides swimming lessons for all ages, one could be hard pressed to know that he has a serious disease.
"He is so strong and his coordination has improved so much since I started working with him," Barringhaus said from the swimming pool at the Dzembo family home in Mote Ranch.
But getting around out of the water presents a challenge for Connor, whose bedroom features Spider-Man, baseball bats and an Xbox.
"I've ridden Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens a lot and I love it," said Connor, who must concentrate hard to get his speech to work the way he wants it to as he has to do with his hands, arms, legs, eyes and even swallowing.
Although his muscles are strong, Connor is progressively losing the brain signals guiding them, so he is a wobbly walker, hence the name of his parents' Wobbly Feet foundation.
At home, if he is rested, he wobbles where he needs to go. If he gets tired, steps become harder and he will use a walker or his power chair.
"He is unstoppable," Nicholas Dzembo said of his son. "He is determined."
"Kids with A-T struggle with everyday activities like walking, talking, reading and eating that other kids take for granted," Thornton said. "Kids like Connor can definitely be determined as they work hard to try to keep up with others."
Connor is the second child in the United States accepted in a drug trial for A-T going on right now at three locations in the country, his parents said.
"The biggest thing going on right now with A-T is this trial," Samantha Dzembo said. "The fact that we could have the first-ever formal treatment to slow the neural degeneration, which is the most debilitating part of the disease, is extremely exciting. This could keep him walking better, walking longer.
"He is going back for his third treatment in mid-June," Dzembo added of her son, who is receiving the trial treatments once a month, for a minimum of one year, at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston's McGovern Medical School. "He believes he is walking better and feeling stronger.
"I said to him, 'You are not using your power chair a lot or your walker in the house and you haven't been falling. What's going on?' He said, 'Mom, the trial is working! I feel it.' We don't know if he is getting a placebo or getting one of the two levels of the actual drug. The doctors in Houston don't know what he is getting. Only the company does. But even if he is on a placebo, the placebo affect is real because he fully believes it is working. He is walking straighter and not falling."
As he sat with his parents on the sofa Connor said, "I feel fine," and smiled broadly.
Foundation for a cure
The Dzembos realized that if money were to be raised locally to find a cure for this disease and to help other A-T families, it would have to be by their own initiative.
The Wobbly Feet Foundation hosts various events in the area, including a golf tournament at the Legacy course in Lakewood Ranch every November. The event raised nearly $30,000 last year, Samantha Dzembo said.
"Because of the efforts of families like the Dzembos, we are closer than ever to finding significant treatments for A-T," Thornton said.
The foundation also will be the beneficiary of Music on Main in Lakewood Ranch on Dec. 1.
"Unraveling how the A-T protein works has shed new light on cancer, metabolic syndrome and HIV/AIDS," Thornton said. "And understanding why brain cells get sick and die in A-T could provide insight as to why brain cells die in other neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease."
"The thing is," Samantha Dzembo added, "although we may not be doing research to affect you directly because the disease our kids have is so rare, it still may affect a disease you are familiar with. The A-T protein basically controls everything the body does. One way or another, there is a connection to everyone through that A-T protein."

The Flamenco folklore is an Andalusian art, so their origins are in the South of Spain. This art is manifest in three different aspects: 'el Cante' (singing, popular song), dance and guitar. Its provenance is rather uncertain, because having very ancient roots and being a popular form of expression, doubts on its origins remain, because documentation is insufficient. The first written note on flamenco appears in one of the "Cartas Marruecas" (Moroccan letters) by Cadalso, (1774) who attributes its origins to the gypsies, and knowing that they are from the Indies, one can clearly see their influence. The gypsies have from the very beginning been the ones who kept the flamenco alive and represented it with profound dedication. Another very strong influence of flamenco is due to the Muslim epoch of Spain. Various ethnic groups from North Africa settled down mainly in Andalucia in the Early Middle Ages. Their influence can clearly be appreciated in its harmonies. The flamenco singing conserves great parallels with other musical manifestations of North Africa, such as the Moroccan music.
As to the guitar, in the beginning, it did not accompany the singing. It was performed without any complementary element which led to the expression a palo seco (without ornaments), except for the percussion performed with the hands (toque de palmas). Some composers such as Julián Arcas, started to compose themes with flamenco sounds that initiated a new era. Between 1860 and 1910, we enter in the most prolific period that was to be called The Golden Age of Flamenco. In that epoch, dance cafés flourished where flamenco developed in all its facets: the instrumental facet, singing and dance; up to the point that we can definitely tie it down to the classicism of the "jondo" (profoundly Andalusian gypsy–like). The dance acquired a splendour that had never been there before, and it became the main attraction for the visitors to those song cafés. The guitar became an indispensable complement for the flamenco singing and dance.
