The Golden Glass 2008 Wine Tasting Event
Green.  The color of the moment, it's a philosophy that's all the rage right now.  Unless you've been living in a cave for the past few years — far from contact with the modernized, mechanized world that necessitated this new mindset to begin with — you're no doubt aware that 'living green' means doing so in a way that sustains or enhances the health of the natural environment.  As a movement, green principles are being applied to nearly every industry, not the least of which is food and wine.
And it's in that very domain that one organization, in particular, was established to perpetuate sustainability: Slow Food.  In its own words, this "association's activities seek to defend biodiversity in our food supply, spread the education of taste, and link producers of excellent foods to consumers through events and initiatives."  The brainchild of Carlo Petrini over 20 years ago in Italy — seemingly eons before the concept of green living became mainstream — Slow Food took root in San Francisco soon thereafter (thanks to local founder Lorenzo Scarpone), establishing the first U.S. chapter in what's become a global movement towards eco-gastronomy that has gained considerable momentum.
Slow Food San Francisco organizes a number of events to showcase producers of natural foods and beverages who are dedicated to sustainability.  The Golden Glass is one such event that "highlight[s] over 100 international wineries, each with a compelling environmental, sustainable, and regional story to share."  I listened intently to a number of those stories during the nearly five hours I spent at the event.  Tasting over a hundred wines that afternoon — possible only by virtue of spitting everything — I preemptively minimized the assault on my palate with a decision to focus only on white wines (a suggestion by my tannin-phobic tasting partner).  It was a good call: constant contact with alcohol alone is enough of an onslaught on the tongue, making red wine tannins that much more fatiguing.  Thankfully, there was plenty of food — delectable culinary indulgences, really — provided by a sizable number of Bay Area purveyors (restaurants, artisanal producers, and farmers), which helped pace the wine-tasting experience and make it all the more enjoyable.  All the same, the inevitable palate fatigue did set in, by which time I'd been able to gather that the quality of the wines at hand spanned quite a range, from the lackluster to the sublime.  Be that as it may, the premise of the event as a whole is really less about the individual wines, per se, and more about the environmentally-sensitive philosophy and methodology underpinning their production.  And winery representatives overall were eager to share their knowledge of sustainable practices.
Although there was quite an international representation of producers, the overwhelming majority were from two countries.  Given the origin of its umbrella organization, it made every bit of sense that Italy would be heavily represented at this tasting event.  With its very long and venerable history of winemaking, and deep respect, almost reverence, for the richness, charm, and diversity of its landscapes, it stands to reason that this culture would initiate measures to protect its own natural resources.  Somewhat less expected was the event's second most widely represented winemaking region: New Zealand.  But as the afternoon wore on, I very quickly came to learn that in an effort to maintain the "clean, green image" stemming from their country's isolated location and agricultural economy, New Zealand's grapegrowers and winemakers have for some time now endeavored to protect the environmental integrity of their wine production. At the epicenter of this collective effort is the industry initiative of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, whose mission is very similar and clearly resonates with that of Slow Food.  As it happens — that is, if I were forced to generalize about any subset of the wines poured at this year's Golden Glass — I felt it was the Italian and New Zealand wines in particular that demonstrated the most consistently high quality.  All the more impressive was that this level of quality was maintained in the context of sustainable viticulture.  It provides both illustration and inspiration that environmentalists and gastronomes can not only enjoy each other's company, but can effectively work together to produce something truly sensational.

Students enrolled in the HBS/HKS three year joint degree program come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many are interested in pursuing careers that span the public, private, and non-profit sectors—and seek to leverage the synergy that exists at the intersection of all three. Matt Hellauer (MBA/MPP 2017) and Taniel Chan (MBA/MPP 2017) are invested in understanding how social change can be driven through public-private partnerships.
Being the tremendous multi-taskers they are, they're also eager to help prospective students understand more about the joint degree program and have shared a few of the things they think you need to know about the HBS/HKS joint degree.
Taniel and Matt graduated from the joint degree program
in May 2017. Taniel is returning to Bain & Company in London where he did
his summer internship. In addition, he is on track to getting his co-authored
thesis on artificial intelligence and national security published and will
spend his summer before starting work learning French across Europe. Matt will
be returning to Allen & Company in NYC where he worked before school. He
will continue work with his thesis client, Forward Cities, by helping bring
entrepreneurship to historically disenfranchised communities across the U.S. It
is common for new graduates to initially pursue work in the private sector but
many anticipate transitioning to the public sector at some point in the future.

The ideas of the medieval medicine was a complex perspective of tradition and the use of exciting ancient ideas, which was of spiritual influence, the development of early sciences combined the 'Shamanistic ideas' and 'Social Consensus' to create medicines that people would have trusted and believed in.
figure one ( Sami shaman with his drum)
Examples such as a the Greek medical foundation that came from classical writing, from the "Hippocratic Corpus". Such as some phrases which basic modern concept of medicine was like "Hippocratic Oath" as in "Do No Harm".
Figure two from (page 27 of Surgery: An)–
Here are some examples of medicine techniques that was used
Bloodletting was an important tradition and cure for many diseases. This was similar to trapping of and releasing of bad blood. But they used leeches.
figure three (Bloodletting was a common panacea, a therapy to 'rebalance the humours'. Image: © The British Library Board (Folio 11v, Le Regime du corps) )
Monasteries were institutions that were not just a central place of worship and spiritual events, it was also a place of practicing and learning of medical knowledge. Monasteries produced their own food and cared for the sick, which led to the development of hospitals.
Figure four ( Sümela Monastery from google images)
Other examples of medicine practices that were used in middle ages Europe
Trepanation was another form of medical practice which was used to remove the "stone of Madness" which was believed to be a window for the devil enter into ones mind and able to see and corrupt the soul. To remove the eye or stone, this was a common practice for pressure and problems in the mind. Cures for various ailments, including seizures and skull fractures.
figure five ( http://www.rijksmuseum.nl )–
But the factors of having doctors was still relatively at different stages in different areas of the world, since the "wise men" or "wise women" still diagnosed and dealt with major problems of illness. For easing the pain, before operating at the time was with the use of "herbs" usually used to numb the pain or the use of "alcoholic" breweries. Mostly in Asia opium was used as a big part of numbing pain as.
figure six (http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/broughttolife/people/wisewomen)
Hemorrhoids were very problematic and a source of agony and pain. They used hot iron rods for there Anus, but this was for more extreme cases. Even with more physiological practices people still used prayers for divine intervention for illness during the middle ages.
figure seven (Brian J. Ford (1993) Images of Science: A History of Scientific Illustration, Oxford University Press ISBN 0195209834)
Rituals played an important part for medicine with the pagan beliefs, the religious and scientific element with such cases as the Bubonic plague or the "black death", it was believed that if they were able to confess there sins to god in church they would be cured.
figure eight ( images from google images)
Finally another interesting development of medicine was the removal of the eye "Eye Cataract Surgery" in the earlier operation this was used with a sharp knife or needle to pierce the corona of the eye and lens into the bottom of the capsule of the eye. In Some practices this worked and results as well as methods varied.

In the face of the growing threat of attacks against unarmed students and faculty around the country, southern Indiana's West Clark Community School District is considering arming a number of teachers in each school for self-defense.
News regarding consideration of an armed teacher policy first broke on December 14, the day before the Los Angeles Unified School District issued a system-wide school shutdown in due to a terror threat.
According to WTHR, West Clark School Board Secretary Doug Coffman is pushing to arm teachers. He is not seeking concealed carry throughout the school district. Rather, he wants a number of teachers in each school–preferably those with military or law enforcement experience–to have access to guns in safes hidden in the schools. Coffman believes such teachers "could provide extra support to resource officers" who are already on West Clark campuses.
WAVE 3 reports that Coffman is convinced armed, bad guys will likely avoid West Clark schools if they know the teachers inside have guns with which to protect themselves and students. He said, "Do I want to go into a building that I think we have armed officers? Or armed teachers? Or teachers that have the ability to defend themselves? Or am I going to go into a building that looks very vulnerable."
Indiana law allows each school district to choose whether to allow or bar armed teachers on campus.
Breitbart News previously reported that teachers in 40 school districts in neighboring Ohio are allowed to carry guns for defense of themselves and their students.

Metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) are low-temperature particle detectors that are currently strongly advancing the state-of-the-art in single particle detection. They are typically operated at temperatures T< 100mK and imposingly combine a fast signal rise time, an excellent energy resolution, a large energy dynamic range, a high quantum efficiency as well as an almost ideal linear detector response. For this reason, single-channel detectors and medium-size MMC arrays appear to be a key technology for a variety of applications requiring high-resolution and wideband energy-dispersive single-particle detectors. Famous examples are the investigation of highly-charged ions, the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay, the investigation of the electron neutrino mass, nuclear safeguards or mass spectrometry. But in spite of this big success, it can be anticipated that future experiments demand for massive multi-channel detector systems to facilitate imaging or position-sensitive measurements or to increase the overall statistics. To realize such systems, microfabrication techniques that allow to reliably manufacture thousands of virtually identical detectors as well as suitable readout techniques need to be established.
In this talk, we will motivate the anticipated need for MMC based multi-channel detector systems by highlighting several MMC based applications. We will then discuss the state-of-the-art in the microfabrication of MMCs which we successfully established during recent years and that allows to manufacture such large-scale detector arrays. Afterwards, we will put special emphasis on the development of SQUID based readout techniques, both for single-channel detectors as well as large-scale arrays.
Graphene is a one‐atom thick two‐dimensional monolayer material with amazing physical properties. Carrier mobilities higher than those of silicon raised great expectations for disruptive carbon‐based electronics. Graphene represents the ideal two‐dimensional electron gas with negligible spin‐orbit coupling (SOC) as well as hyperfine interaction, which are prerequisites for long electron spin lifetimes. Thus graphene is very appealing for applications in spintronics. The essential benchmark for spintronics devices, i.e. long electron spin lifetimes, has been theoretically predicted on the order of 1 ms. Experimental work using spin‐FET (Field Effect Transistor) or nonlocal spin‐valve measurement devices yielded early on spin lifetimes in the ps range. In 2011 we reached at least 2 ns at room temperature. It was concluded that extrinsic effects are responsible for this shortcoming due to imperfect device technology (exfoliation and handling in air; imperfect tunnel barriers for spin injection from ferromagnets into graphene; charged impurities inducing extrinsic SOC fields). Recent improvements of the device concept, e.g., by "flattening" graphene on top of an h‐BN flake, yielded at room temperature an increase of the carrier mobilities from 1.000 to 20.000 cm2/Vs, spin lifetimes of 12 ns and spin diffusion lengths of 31 μm. These results are encouraging, but yet leave room for improvement and alternative concepts. Our findings rule out previous scalings of spin lifetime vs. momentum scattering time or mobility, which favored a D'yakonov‐Perel' spin scattering mechanism.

Attention ALL Coffee Lovers!!
When it comes to coffee… I am a little obsessed. No shame at all, promise. LOL I have my morning ritual when it comes to coffee.. first a dark roast (& I mean DARK) and then a lighter one so I'm not too wired through out the day.
I usually start the day with Foldger's Black Silk and Maxwell House Intense Bold. Which by the way, both of them are amazing! But those aren't my only favorites!
Brooklyn Bean Roastery is a huge favorite of mine and no its not because they are from NY [which is by far one of my favorite places to be] but because their coffee is amazing! I am a huge fan of a few of them but The Corner Donut Shop is by far one of my favorites! Such a smooth, rich taste that I seriously just can't get enough of! And with all the coffee I drink that makes me a very coffeeholic!
Here's a little bit about the Company:
[taken from their website]
You can purchase as many as you would like just by clicking here! I highly recommend you do just that because you won't be disappointed!
I wanted to thank Joyce from Women and their Pretties who is an honorary Brooklynite who sent me sample k-cups to try out and I have been in love ever since so thanks!!

UD Flyers adjusting to new coach as they prepare to return to the court
DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) - We are only 44 days out and counting from the return of Flyers basketball.
The team will open the season taking on Ohio Dominican, but the team isn't quite ready to take off the warm-up gear.
New Head Coach Anthony Grant said he's spending the time getting to know his team, and that there aren't any expectations or limitations as the team moves on from Archie Miller into the Grant regime.
UD guard Darrell Davis said the biggest challenge will come on defense for the team, as Grant pushes for a full court man-to-man system, hoping it will produce more turnovers.
Another change for the team will come in leadership, as they'll hit the court with Josh Cunningham as the only captain.
Grant told FOX 45 he's still working with his coaching staff to adjust to the new surroundings.
"I'm still learning our team," he said. "You know, hopefully, our identity will be established in terms of the way we play offensively and defensively."
"I feel like everybody's gotten better, over the time, over the summer," forward Josh Cunningham said. "We've been putting in countless hours, so we just have to continue to do that."
"New coach, same program," Davis said. "I think Coach Grant knows what we want, and what he wants, and that's to win games and play hard, and try to advance in the tournament."

Kylie Jenner Channels Kim Kardashian In Strapless Dress: SHOP Her Frock For $50
Kylie Jenner reminded us of her big sis Kim Kardashian when she rocked a skintight, strapless dress — and their same dress showdown is serving up some style inspiration! Let us know who rocked the frock better and SHOP the style here.
Kylie Jenner, 17, turned heads when she stepped out in LA with Tyga on June 1, as she got glam in a strapless mini in olive green. From the form-fitting frock to her choice of footwear, it seemed like she was channeling her big sis, Kim Kardashian! Do you agree?
Whether she's getting glam, dressing down or just lounging poolside in a bikini, all eyes are always on Kylie's latest look — and her head-turning dress was no exception! The star kept the focus on her curves in her olive green Sorella dress. While on the model it stops right at the ankle, Kylie's version was shortened to hit right under the knee. Tom Ford shoes polished off the outfit, as she wore her hair down and rocked a pair of sunglasses.
Love Kylie's look? You can SHOP for her Sorella frock RIGHT HERE for $50. While Kylie opted to turn up the heat with her street style during the day, you can easily rock the frock if you're getting glam to get out with friends — or throw it on for date night.
While Kylie totally owned this look, it also reminded us of her big sis, Kim, 34. The hot mama has an affinity for form-fitting silhouettes, just like the nude version the star showed off in June 2014 — and just a year later, Kylie is giving us her take on the trend.
While both gals showed off similar silhouettes, they still made the looks their own, but what do you think? Is Kylie winning this sister style showdown or is your vote on Kim?

By: Art Wolfe(Illustrator), Barbara Sleeper(Introduction By)
144 pages, 101 colour photos
In this astonishing book, legendary wildlife photographer Art Wolfe turns to one of nature's most fundamental survival techniques: the vanishing act. His portraits show animals and insects disappearing into their surroundings, using deceptions, disguises, lures, and decoys to confuse the eyes of both predator and prey. In a world where nothing is as it appears to be, a lion blends into the tall grass in the late-afternoon sun, or a harp seal disappears against his snowy backdrop. Pastel orchids can suddenly morph into predatory praying mantises, while lizard heads become tails. What at first appears to be a torn and decomposing leaf on a forest floor in Peru suddenly sprouts legs and starts walking: it is a leaf-mimic katydid.
Spotting each cryptic animal amid Wolfe's clever compositions is both a fun and an informative challenge. At a time when many species are performing permanent vanishing acts due to habitat loss and human encroachment, Vanishing Act showcases the beauty and evolutionary extremes of animal behavior and artfully illustrates the tenacious will to stay alive in an eat-or-be-eaten world.

A feeling of separation arises at the moment I become aware of my limited, singular being-ness. And while I am aware of my larger, immortal self, I cannot 'see' it. All of a sudden there is a branching off and there is an 'other', someone just around the corner, who is also me and seemingly separate from me.
In my vision, they are walking right here beside me and then they are gone. And I've forgotten to ask them what I'm supposed to be doing.
What did I come here for? Why did I choose to be here, and why now?
There might actually be a good reason for coming here. I seek answers.
Should I be looking for something? Should I be doing something? Should I be asking a different question? Should I just let it all be and enjoy the ride?
This idea of separation is a powerful one; we all buy into it so it has a lot of energy behind it. I am still finding blind spots I have towards it. But maybe those spots are getting deeper and wider and I am finally getting down to the base of … what? My sticking point? My frustration? My complete and utter bewilderment?
I don't know. I just truly don't know.
What a kick in the pants…

A friend of mine, who adamantly does not read blogs, as in, regardless of content or authorship, if it's packaged in a blog, he will not read it; asked me if I edit my blog posts. It had me thinking of how I put less and less work into my blog as time goes by, for lack of feedback, interest, or any awareness that anyone out there is actually listening.
Here is my answer to him (sent in the acceptable format of email, of course)
Those of you who know me here, I have the following blogs among others in my newsreader (feedly). These three are in my 'must read' category.First answer: no one reads my blogs before I put them online, not even me if I'm in a hurry. The same could be true afterwards. Blogging is
much like talking to one's self. It may begin with coherence, but
after a time, without feed back and conversation, it descends into
mumbling. The people have moved on to twitter and facebook where they
are not ever burdened by sentence's or statements of more than 130
For myself, now that I have a wifi router in my home, I am now
searching out lengthy articles to read, as I now can read from the
comfort of my bed or a chair by the fire.
http://artscapes.ca/blog-home/ Michelle Basic Hendry paints and writes. When she writes, she really makes it count. Unlike me, she obviously takes a great deal of time and thought to consider her words and craft her writing.
http://fuzzydragons.blogspot.ca/ Jennifer Rose Phillip blogs often, keeping things going with her adventures in art and life. When I read her blog, I feel like I'm sitting and having a chat with a friend and colleague, thanks for being such very good company.
http://chrissymaries.blogspot.ca/ Chrissy Stone. Since I've began blogging, I've watched her grow by leaps and bounds artistically. She spends more time on Facebook now, but, YAY! she's back on the blog. I look forward to curling up in the easy chair with her next post.
Hi Chrissy, Michelle, and Jennifer. We three bloggers; I've been reading you from the start, perhaps we've all watched one another grow artistically through the years…and mentally too. We've been through 'things', and blogged about those experiences directly, or indirectly, through commission or omission. Sometimes what we leave out speaks volumes. Thank you for sharing your voices with me. I hope there will always be more.
For me, watched or not, read or not, I will try to get back to journaling just a little more often. It feels right, and pairs nicely with my re-kindled interest in my 365 Art Card Project.
There are so many times when a camera cannot begin to capture the moment, and only art will do. Walking at night, with my husband, our dog, all three bathed in the light of a brilliant moon, from above, and below where its beams reflected off the snow, was one of them.
I created this miniature work of art using oil pastels and coloured pencil. It is a detailed, multilayered unique work of art, one of a kind. My miniature works of art are often moments in time, captured on a micro scale.

The Web-line.
Reads: 383 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 10
Short Story by: Scrawls and Doodles
Even in reality, people- especially the young are subjected to tremendous peer pressure and different forms of hardships. Wish i could change all that...
It's a work of fiction, but i guess some people might be able to relate to it.
The Web-line.
The silken threads of a spider's web is stronger than steel. I found it a little absurd at first. Then I read on and found that when steel is reduced to the size of a spider's web-line, it cannot hold and breaks. So if the reverse could be done- making huge structures and stuff with the silky stuff, had been the supply abundant, it can be very well agreed upon that spider's web would definitely be stronger than steel.
Fireflies lit up the entire garden. Over the small pond located on the southern side in the backyard, they collected in clusters. It was an enchanting sight, their shimmering grace exuding life into the dark, cold night-time garden. I sat by my favourite place under the young cherry tree in the garden which stands right opposite to the pond in the northern direction. Whenever my mind would get clogged up with more reality than I could handle, I always came here to find my peace. Sometimes, I would sit for so long that I would miss dinner. Nevertheless, that hardly mattered. I always thought home was a place where we can be ourselves, without being fearful of being judged. Perhaps that is not true, or maybe it is, the only difference being in the fact that my home followed different rules.
Today I simply cracked. That is all there is to say to it. Try as I might I could not change things at home. The patriarch worshipped alcohol more than his work; the matriarch carried more than she could. The kids? Oldest son ran away at fourteen. What more can a young, teenage boy do when he is filled with desolation and watches helplessly as his siblings get assaulted? It has been two years since the day Aaron took off.
Youngest child, Amelia a girl of ten, has more knowledge about growing up than half the kids in her class do. Her crash course of youth life began when her brother, who had run away, couldn't escort her to school anymore. What do those wolves on her way to school know about the consequences of kids losing their innocence way too soon than nature intended to? Those dolts are just as hollow as their carnal cravings. I guess there is an upside to it. She's become adept at comebacks that can make even the meanest, toughest, beefiest Minotaur cringe. Well, I sure do when we're walking to school together.
Then there are the middle kids. The twins. Boy and girl. My sister Alexis an epitome of feminine virtues. She's sensitive, sweet, caring, a dang good cook (but she'd chide me for my language here) and a blessed singer. Being a girl, my sister gets to show her pain as and when she can. She cries in the kitchen, at breakfast, on the bus stop, in the super-market, in class... almost anywhere when she needs to. I envy her at times.
You keep hearing about the all-too-famous "Boys don't cry" crap. I find that total bullsh*t. I want to let it out too. But I can't, and for the love of sanity, I don't know why. So my solution to that is to take it out on cutting. Only my twin sister knows.
To everyone else, including my family, neighbours, and people at school, I'm the second male born who strong despite all the complications, and never breaks down. When will they start getting suspicious that layering a full-sleeved tee with a half-sleeved one EVERYDAY is not a part of my skater-boy image?
On the nights I cut, my sister somehow comes to know and she gets very disturbed. I can't help it even if it crushes me to see her cry for me. Sometimes, in order to make sure that I don't harm myself further, she sleeps with me. Damn you if your dirty thoughts got triggered; once she's fast asleep I shift to the couch. Then I watch her till I fall asleep. Sometimes our youngest joins us- we make a huge bed on the floor and play card games till we decide to call it a night.
Mom works double-shifts almost every day and night. Dad is mostly out, working on vehicles or laying passed out somewhere in the garage. My twin and I work part-time to contribute to the expenses and somehow, we pull it off every month. Life is not sweet but it can be made drinkable.
The firefly garden is my secret base. Even I need my own space at times. I need to be alone in order to shut all that noise in my head. It's an old garden behind an abandoned cottage. I reckon it's up for sale but no one comes to see it so I could be wrong. I work on the garden sometimes and I'm currently growing flowers in a small corner. My mom loves flowers and I love the way her face lights up when I bring a bunch for her. I'm not sure what kind of flowers they are... I always say they are wild flowers and my twin always insists they are lilies. Oh well.
Flashes of last night play before my eyes. I close them to stop the images from playing. But they continue to play in my head. I lay down on the dewy grass to wrestle with my hyperactive mind as I try to take a nap. I'm hungry. Eff my stupid rumbling belly. I soon fall asleep whilst watching the light bugs make abstract albeit pretty formations over the pond and the long grasses surrounding it. I start dreaming moments after passing out.
I'm at home and I'm walking from one room to the next. The house is quiet as always but there is an eerie feeling to it that I can't grasp. I move from one part to the house to another. The house is empty. I'm puzzled and bewildered at the emptiness. Then a shot of alarm hits me as my sisters come to mind. Adrenaline courses through my body as I rush to their rooms; I don't feel my feet touching the floor as I make a mad dash to them. They are nowhere and I'm stumped.
I decide to check my room and before I know it, I'm outside my door. It's slightly ajar. I can hear my pulse in my ears as I cautiously push the door. I'm confounded with this cold hand of fear that has a firm grip around my heart.
There is a trail of red liquid and I follow it carefully as tears brim up in my eyes, obscuring my vision... why does it feel like a familiar feeling? My vision doesn't travel any further as one of their feet comes into my view. I try to dare myself to look more, forcing my eyes to move further above the limited field of sight as my tears fall freely. I already know what lay ahead. I fall to my knees in a crumpled heap. As I take a sideways glance at the figures lying before me, I find my spine freezing up in shock and disbelief. Alexis and Amelia...
My eyes shot open and I sat up, drenched in sweat and on the verge of hyper-ventilating. I look around and I'm still under the cherry tree. Bewildered by my terrifying dream, I get scared that it may come true.
Phone. My phone! I fish it out of my pocket and find it's still comatose after I had switched it off when I ran out of my house to seek refuge in my secret base. I pressed the power button and felt my chest hurt when the welcome note came on.
My little sister Amelia had written and set "I luv u mah big bro Adrian" to come on every time I switched on my cell phone.
The wallpaper did the impossible. When I gazed into the smiling faces of Alexis and Amelia and mine sandwiched in between, I felt warm wetness going down my cheeks. I missed them.
But my mind was already made up. I had brought a brand new razor with me, and was going to end my life right there, in my secret base with the fireflies and wild flowers- that Alexis always insisted were lilies- watching me. I had written no last notes or left any clues and no one would think of looking for me here. I'd rather let my sisters think me as a runaway than know that I'm dead.
Dangling false optimism, you may say. But I know them and its better they think me to be alive somewhere hoping for my return, than break them as I have been, and follow my footsteps. I place the phone beside me and focus my attention to the 'task at hand'. Holding the blade in my deft fingers, I take a deep breath and position my other hand. My mind is quiet, as if it finally tired out and gave up trying to wreck me further. It is dark with no lighting but the moonlight is enough to guide me. I graze it a bit. And a bit more. Then I steady myself for the final slash.
In the silence of the night, the insects murmured their music and owls hooted in the distance. This was suddenly interrupted by the shrill incoming text tone of my phone. I jumped a bit and cut my finger in which I held the blade. I cursed silently and tried to ignore it. But that was not to be.
One after another, at an interval of maybe two seconds, my phone shrieked with the incoming texts. I got mad and re-firming my grip on the blade, took the phone with my other hand. "What the hell... might as well open it..." I thought.
You have twenty-one new text messages.
I groaned ruefully. Alexis.
Just as I was going to press 'read' my phone started singing in Alexis's voice. It was my favourite ringtone.
Dare I take the call?
I decide to. After all, she must be worrying her butt off.
Silence on the other end. I double check the caller ID. It's Alexis all right.
"He- hello? Xissy?"
At first, there was a soft whimpering followed quickly by audible snuffling. Then some incoherent voices and the scuffing sound you hear when the phone changes hands. And before I know it, I'm receiving the scolding of my life.
"ADRIAN, YOU DUMBASS!! Where the hell are you?! Come home this instant!"
Oh, the melodious tone of Amelia...
"Why? Anything came up?" I ask nonchalantly.
There's a shower of expletives and some of them are words i didn't even know existed.
"You knucklehead! Do you have any idea how worried we were? Alexis has been crying her eyes out and Mom's going bananas running from pillar to post looking for you!! Even Dad is tottering around own his wobbly feet searching for you... get your fat butt here... NOW!"
I try to picture all that. Guilt takes over and i stand up slowly. Ok, no dying today.
I toss away the blade. The curve of a smile slowly warns my frigid mouth of its increasing dominance over my grimace.
I grin by myself and even to the fireflies, i must have looked like a loon.
Steel. Tough.
Silk. Fragile. But stronger.
The silken web is a home to some to living, breathing creature.
Dainty, shimmering, beautiful weaving... yet strong enough to hold the big anarchid that dangles onto it.
"And besides..." Amelia's voice is soft now, "there's a good chance of a family reunion."
"Why is that?" I ask as i stride over to the wild flo- I mean, lilies.
I sense some hesitation, as the bleak possibility of the reason flits in my head.
"Amy? Is Aaron-..."
I don't even get to finish the thought in my head when she bursts out, "Yeah, that moron came back. And when are you going to?!"
I laugh.
"What is so funny? Did your noggin get fried in the past twenty-four hours? WHERE. ARE. YOU."
My web-line had saved me. I look at the half-dried cuts on my wrist.
Never again.
"Thanks... Spiderman."
She pauses for a second. Then accuses me of calling her ugly in some code-language... apparently spiders are not pretty for her... now that i think about it, the steel and silk story never made it to Amelia's textbooks. It was removed along with our old syllabus.
"No, no... that was a compliment..."
"Hah! I don't believe you!"
"Okay... fine with me..." I tease back.
I pluck a gorgeous bunch of lilies to take home to Mom. I tie them up with my bandana. Then I plug in my earphones and listen to Amelia's sweet, pungent, colourful banter as I walk home. Family reunion.
I can live with that.

Very nice. i was about ready to leave a comment about how selfish this little brat would be if he actually did it. but I'm glad he didn't.
But you had the suspense down to the T. Good job and continue to enjoy the art!
I've always been envious of writers who are able to hold the suspense till the. I wanted this to have a lighter note at the end so it won't get too dark.
So glad! Thank u very much :) this has absolutely made my day! continue to enjoy the art too!
What an absolutely lovely story of love and hope. I wish all those teenagers who decide that cutting themselves, or even worse, is an answer to lifes problems would read this story and learn. You did a great job Elizabeth, even if you did bring a tear to my eyes lol. I gave it my I like it vote ....................Aunt Pat
This is very awesome i like how you wrote it tell me when you update please and thank you.
This is a wonderful story,I loved it how you kept readers engaged till the very end. I loved the idea of using messages in a narrative style.Good wWork Artist!
I got chills! This was so easily pictured in my head.. i'm not sure what it was but i felt like i knew Adrian outside of the story! Haha does that sound weird? Idk, as i read stories, i like to picture all the characters and their personatlities and looks and sometimes that's hard because not much info is given about each of the characters, but with your story it was very easy, which is a huge accompishment for writers! I like this a lot, i can't wait to read more by you.
*epic faint*
omg omg omg!! thank you so much Brooke! i try to write in such a manner that readers may be able to relate with the story... and review like your's send me over the moon :)
i know!! it feels so much better to imagine the events like a live telecast, i do it too. i try to include the character's looks (hair, nose, eyes, height, etc) but decided to leave it unexplored in this one for a better sense of what was going on. instead i emphasized on the meaning of Adrian's name- i do this too, pick names whose meaning reflect the character's main personality.
Thanks to a very good friend i got this published too, and received pretty reviews!
you are so kind thank you!! i hope to write and publish soon again! i really, really really appreciate it!
The silky web stronger than steel - what a beautiful concept! I love how you've cleverly woven it into the story. Everything flows perfectly, each section connected to the next like a mental or emotional journey. The story is compact and concise but full of emotion and with vivid characters. Great story :)
*screams in joy and sniffling tears*
this story is very important to me and is very close to my heart... i tried to make it so people could relate and find some similarities or comfort... i am glad you like it so much Purple :) it means a lot to me, much more than i can say!
i tend to ramble on easily and was worried this piece would get sketchy in the long run, but thank goodness it turned out good :)
comments like yours inspire me to try even harder, thanks so much!!
Oh this is a very nice story. Descriptive words...and that title...HOW COULD YOU COME UP WITH SUCH A BRILLIANT TITLE? When I write stories my weakness is the titles. This whole story definitely needs to be published and shown to all teenagers out there. very sad but very humorous!
oh wow :) this is one of the most unusual comments i have received ever, thank you!! well, i don't worry much about the title i just go along writing and and just wait for the title to pop out from the contents. :) thank you so much, i did publish this :) i hope people found it helpful :)
Dude. I'm in love with this story. It's so seriously beautiful and elegant, the eloquence of the words are in a sequence that my small brain could never comprehend. If I could, I would like this story seriously 100 times. Unfortunately, that is not possible. (: You made it easy for different kinds of people to connect to the story because I think most of us have been there, when we just want to drop off the earth surrounded by self-loathing. I feel that way sometimes. I relate, but I also don't like when people cut. Because when I come to that point where I feel like committing suicide, I think of all the other people in the world who don't have the opportunities I have. You should be thankful that you have a life to begin with and you're rotting away by the hands of drugs, or you're lying in hospital bed with a terminal illness. And that gets me through the day. Thanks for sharing this story with me, I absolutely loved it! :D
Dude! Thank you so much!! this made my day and took me on a trip around the moon... thank you for your kind words RadioHeart, i am very humbled and moved. i tried to write it in a manner that people could find something or someone to relate to.
yeah most of us have been in that stage, i think we all have been one time or the other. its a difficult time to walk through. but its not always self-loathing you know... each of us have a different story and i tried to bring one in to the light :)
its important to appreciate the good things that simplicity brings and i couldn't agree more on what you said. but sometimes, just sometimes, someone slips and sinks so deep it becomes difficult to climb back up. people who think like you are a blessing to the ones around them, bless you hon :)
thank you so much for liking my story so much :')
amazing!!! simply splendid, no wonders why you got this published. haha, its one story that i am glad to have read. one of the bests i have read so far. remarkable job :)
Hi, soulcandygal! I thought the ending of this story, where Adrian had gathered flowers for his mother for the family reunion, and vowed never again to cut himself, was wonderful! I also think that Adrian's sister is a sweet, kind girl. Keep writing :)

Why the folks running Greece cannot possibly be human
I have this theory.
That three things set humans apart from other animals: our ability for reflection, abstraction and compassion.
What do I mean?
I mean that unlike other animals, humans can deeply reflect on their behaviour, on life, on the universe. We have an ability and often a need to link the dots, poke in the shadows, truly seek to understand how things fit, why things are the way they are, why things feel the way they feel. Why did so-and-so do this? Why was I left feeling this way?
On top of that, we can do all this in the abstract. We can think about our own liberty and freedom writ large. We can think about rights, ethics, social reform. We can write poetry and debate religion. We can deal in things that cannot be touched or seen and yet we feel strongly about them.
And, most important of all in my mind, we are capable of compassion. Not just the fierce love of the lioness for her cubs. Not just the acute territorial protectionism of a wolf for his pack. Compassion. For complete strangers. On grounds of our shared humanity.
So, after thinking about it at length, I have concluded that, if my taxonomy is taken to its logical conclusion, we are left with only one option: the people running Greece are not human as they demonstrate no ability to reflect, no capacity for linking up the abstract with the concrete (the law they are passing with the problem they are trying to solve, say) and above all, no compassion whatsoever.
Let me demonstrate.
Mr Markogiannakis – successful lawyer, public prosecutor under the dictators and high and mighty within the current government. If he is not proof enough in his continued service that our leaders don't reflect, let me give you more. He is one of the forces behind the stun guns our policemen carry – notorious for causing permanent health problems or even death – and is currently clamouring for the hire of 'foreign' policemen with the express job description of informing and keeping an eye on their compatriots, saving the day by arresting scores of illegal immigrants selling home-made CDs on street corners
Leaving aside his belief that illegal immigration is Greece's most pressing problem at the moment (being stupid, sadly, fails to disqualify him as a human), his proposed solution fails to even for a moment consider what sort of society he would be building if the measure went through. No abstraction. He fails to consider how relations within the force and between the force and the community would fragment, sour and militarise. No reflection. And he fails to see – or fails to care – that this measure is preying on the poverty and despair of many an immigrant who would agree to anything that would feed their families in an honest, if not honourable way. So compassion is out the window too.
The really bad news, of course, is that Mr Markogiannakis is not alone.
Our glorious police force demonstrate a pitch-perfect 'pack mentality' looking after their own, covering up trespasses, crimes, violations of the law and police code of conduct. Evident is an inability to think in abstract terms of public service, order and an active contribution to democratic governance. Evident is their total lack of compassion for those they are meant to protect. Evident is also a total lack of willingness to reflect on their own conduct.
A recent study revealed that 4 or 5 policemen go down every year on charges of drug and people trafficking, blackmail, pimping and murder. That's a tiny number in a corps that is notorious for its corruption. Yet even these few invariably come back into the force, having lost a few months' earnings.
With more and more cases of evident police brutality being written up as people 'beating themselves up', tripping and, of course, suicide, 'looking after one's own' is not just a figure of speech. The boys in blue don't just keep an eye out for each other. They take out any eye that witnessed wrong-doing in a fierce protection of the pack.
Now 'looking after your own' is a natural instinct. Meerkats do it. Hyenas do it. Policemen do it. All humans do it, if we are honest. But they don't do it to the complete detriment of everyone else. That's the difference between hyenas and humans living in society. The latter know that survival does not need to be a zero sum game.
And while I'm at it – the priests? Not human either.
Sex scandals, appropriations scandals, land sale scandals and pure theft from charity coffers. Wanna talk compassion now? Wanna talk reflection? Why am I here, why am I wearing this funny black dress and what was it I set out to do?
Animals live meal to meal.
When humans have to live like that, we feel a crushing sadness as this life robs them of the basic tenets of their humanity – the ability to make complicated choices, the ability to live in the abstract, the luxury of showing compassion which you just don't have when your own belly is empty.
But when you are fed, watered and sheltered from the elements, abstraction, reflection and compassion are possible. And essential.
Which brings me to the subject of our prime minister.
Well-fed, undoubtedly. Safe, warm – even though a trifle tired.
He is in a position to engage in reflection, abstraction and compassion. And yet he does not. He allows his government to pass laws that at best fail to address the problems he has to solve and at worse manipulate society closer and closer to a repressive regime.
There are three options here.
Option 1: his ability for reflection and abstraction is impaired because he's dumb. That doesn't make him any less human although it does throw his suitability for the post he is holding into sharp relief.
Option 2: the lack of reflection and compassion suggests he is not actually human. And that explains a lot.
Option 3: he is reflecting all right. And he has a perfect visualisation of where he is taking us, so his powers of abstraction are unimpaired. The slow but sure descent into a controlled state of fear and state repression is part of the plan and the prime minister and his cronies are simply members of that species that can think like a human but not feel like one. Abstraction? Reflection? Yeah, sure. Compassion? No, not today.
And here we are, trapped in a weird fairy tale, a work of science fiction, with a dark and sinister plot, unexpected twists, beasts, demons, battle scenes, plenty of villains – and no good guys.
But if this is a fairy tale, and having demonstrated that we are governed by wolves and ogres, are we not due a prince to slay them all roundabout now?

Appleseed Child Enrichment Center, Inc.
Appleseed Learning Center
The Appleseed Learning Center (ALC) was approached by the Office of Migration and Refugee Services, Catholic Charities Health & Human Services in Cleveland Ohio about providing daycare for Somali Bantu children in November of 2005. The resettlement office needed to find daycare for the Bantu children while the parents attended ESL classes and job trainings. There was resistance among the Bantu mothers who were reluctant to drop their children off with strangers. The Director of the ALC offered to hire a Bantu woman on the daycare staff.
The ALC provides child care services (for children from infancy through 12 years old), a before- and after- school program and a summer camp. Foreign language instruction is provided in Spanish and Maay Maay. Music classes are also available at the center.
The state of Ohio's Early Learning Content Standards are used to guide the High Scope curriculum used for preschoolers and toddlers. The High Scope lesson plans are designed to increase levels of comprehension in reading, math, science and social studies. Toddlers and school-age children also have the opportunity of using computers with educational programs.
Currently there are 15 Somali Bantu Children enrolled, however the ALC is open to all children in the Cleveland area. The Bantu children make up about 25% of the total children enrolled at the ALC.
As a for-profit organization, the bulk of the funding for the ALC is generated by tuition fees. The Somali Bantu children's enrollment is subsidized through Cuyahoga County, after an evaluation of different factors (e.g. income level of parent/guardian, the number of people in a household) that determine if children qualify for childcare vouchers.
The Appleseed Child Learning Center has 9 FTEs and parent/ grandparent volunteers. Five of the staff members are bilingual and bicultural. The state of Ohio requires six hours of classroom instruction in communicable diseases, child abuse recognition, first aid and CPR (there is a renewal course every three years). In addition, the state requires each FTE to receive 15 hours of in-service training in the area of child development. Beyond the state requirements, the Appleseed Child Enrichment Center, Inc. has encouraged their employees to pursue college degrees in the area of early childhood education.
A family history of each child is done prior to entrance to the Appleseed Learning Center. This family history is used as a baseline to monitor the child's progress. The family history is also used to determine what parental expectations of the children are; therefore during parent/teacher conferences parents can be informed of their child's developmental progress. For parents who do not speak English, bi-cultural staff members are used as interpreters. Standardized evaluations are used to determine each child's progress with the Ohio Early Learning Content Standards. "The early learning content standards describe essential concepts and skills for young children. Based on research, these achievable indicators emerge as the result of quality early learning experiences regardless of the setting (e.g., nursery school, preschool, family care, etc.) … The early learning standards are the expectations for the end of the preschool years and thus serve as a guide for parents and provide the foundation for professional development. " (Ohio Department of Education, Center for Students, Families and Communities. 2004. Early Learning Content Standards. Columbus, Ohio: Authors).
The State of Ohio's Early Learning Content Standards list indicators or outcomes for each participant. These indicators are grouped into four subject matters: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Below are samplings of topics and indicators in each category:
English Language Arts
To view the indicators for each subject and topic, please use the following URL: http://www.ode.state.oh.us/ece/standards1/Early%20Childhood%20Standards-9-05%20revised.pdf
Other Key Elements: The collaborative relationship between the ALC and the Office of Migration and Refugee Services, Catholic Charities Health & Human Services has been instrumental to the success of the Somali Bantu children and staff person at the ALC. The Office of Migration and Refugee Services, provided outreach to the Somali Bantu community in order to find candidates for the staff position and get Somali Bantu children enrolled in the program. They have also been critical as a resource in preparing the Appleseed Learning Center staff for working with Somali Bantu children and families. The ALC is currently collaborating with the Office to hire a second Somali Bantu for their staff. Increased socialization and diminished shyness have been evidenced by the dissolution of ethnic cliques at the Learning Center. We have one Somali Bantu child around 6 years old who, when she first started coming to the center, would scream and kick and try to run after her father when he dropped her off. She would continue to act out for 30 to 45 minutes after her father left. Whenever anyone spoke to her in English, she would just click her tongue. She stayed very close to her siblings. Recently, she has come to trust the staff at the daycare. She comes in smiling and talking, and plays with everybody else.

Please follow the steps below in order to install the printer driver for your PIXMA MP210.
First, please make sure that the printer is not connected to the computer.
1. Go to http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0027235.asp?model

Posted on Oct 08, 2008
actually I have a MP220 but I guess it won't change very much. I spent some 5 hours in downloading all possible drivers and in trying installation several times without my computer being able to recognize the machine. Even without installing the drivers try to plug in your printer. IF WINDOWS XP TELLS YOU THAT NEW HARDWARE IS UNKNOWN THEN LOOK NO FURTHER: CHANCES ARE THAT YOUR USB CABLE IS NOT GOOD. In my case i bought it brand new from a shop and I realized it was USB 1.xx instead of 2.xx. I was skeptical but I substituted it and the problem was solved.

Department of Finance Annual Report on Public Debt in Ireland 2017
A key strategic goal of the Department of Finance is the achievement of a "sustainable macro-economic environment and sound public finances". Given the importance of sound public finances, the motivation for this document – which will be updated annually – is to report on public debt developments in Ireland, and to monitor progress towards debt targets.
Taken at face value, the debt-to-GDP ratio has declined significantly in recent years. However, while compiled in line with international standards, the level of GDP in Ireland overstates the underlying level of true economic activity in Ireland due to inter alia the on-shoring of high income-generating assets such as intellectual property in recent years. An important side effect of this is that the debt-to-GDP ratio paints an excessively benign picture of public indebtedness in Ireland. A range of other metrics clearly show that public debt remains high both by historical and international standards. A key policy priority, therefore, must be to reduce the debt burden to safer levels in order to minimise the interest burden and reduce the economy's vulnerability to shocks.
This report is structured as follows.
To put the current situation in context, a backward-looking perspective is outlined in section 2 where the evolution of debt since the mid-1990s is presented.
In section 3, recent debt dynamics in Ireland are contrasted with those elsewhere in the European Union while,
in section 4, key structural features of Irish public debt are highlighted.
in section 5. Reflecting the limitations of GDP as a measure of underlying economic activity in an Irish context, the burden of debt is assessed using alternative metrics
In Section 6 A forward-looking perspective is provided where a debt sustainability analysis is also presented.
Finally, some policy-relevant conclusions are outlined in section 7. Additional variables which are routinely monitored by the Department of Finance from a debt sustainability perspective are set out in the appendix.
