A qaballistic deconstruction of words and sounds involves a rational and yet philosophical inquiry into the language, a concept that is uniquely separate from the more scientific study of linguistics. Qaballistic deconstructions are, admittedly to the ill trained observer, quite fluid on a kind note and "circumspect" on a harsher note. Regardless of the untrained criticism, without a firm knowledge of qaballistic principles, the exercise of qaballistic deconstruction is nigh impossible.
Difficult at best. Worse, disjointed and random appearing.
A properly effected qaballistic deconstruction must show co-relations and links relative to the larger construction. Say's Sir Francis Bacon in "The Alphabet of Nature",
For the mode of any more abstruse experiment, we explain it,
Lest any mistake arise about it; and to the intent, also,
That we may excite others to excogitate better methods.
Also, we interspect certain admonitions, and cautions
Concerning such fallacies of things, and errors in invention,
As we meet with in our way.
If the co-relations are sufficiently diffused for the observer to comprehend the concept being expressed, there must accompany a rational explanation as to the construction and its intent, while we must avoid at all times fusing fallacies of things (false concepts) and take care to not read too much into a concept such that the invention is itself false.
For example.
Let us take the word FLAG.
What, precisely, is the root letter of this word? It is the Letter F. F is a shape that denotes movement. It is the shape of a FLAG. It is a Feminine letter. It is comprised of a glyph (F) which denotes movement, and a verb which describes the movement, or the verb LAG.
If the co-relations are sufficiently diffused for the observer to comprehend the concept being expressed, there must accompany a rational explanation as to the construction and its intent, while we must avoid at all times fusing fallacies of things (false concepts) and take care to not read too much into a concept such that the invention is itself false.
F denotes movement. The active element of the Letter F is AIR, or, more precisely, WIND. It is the WIND that acts upon the FLAG that creates the esoteric construction of the word FLAG. Hence, "F" is the shape brought about by the wind. The SHAPE, therefore, LAG(s) behind the WIND which has already since caused an effect on the clothe of the FLAG to stretch out into the shape of the Letter F.
There is a time differential between the shape of the THING, the Letter F, and the force which brought about the action which caused the shape of the THING, which is called WIND.
The key here is "time differential", for when we reverse the word FLAG, we may remove the ROOT of F and arrive at GAL(LAX)Y. In this case, GAL and LAX are the same, for G is GIMMEL is 3 and X is the third letter from the end of the alphabet, X-Y-Z, or 3-2-1.
The operative shape of a whirlepool or SPIRAL GALAXY equally shows a time differential denoting movement. The Letter F is phonetically paired numerically with the Letter V. As designed within our occult construct, the DREIDLE is a representation of the Letters F and V. The Letter V is the tip of the DREIDLE and F is the top of the DREIDLE.
While spinning, the DREIDLE as viewed from the top is as a whirling galaxy, while when motionless and viewed from the side. By superimposing the Letter F upon the top of the DREIDLE, we arrive at the shape of the SWASTIKA.
When we apply this reasoning to the sound of the Letters F, we note that the SOUND is derived from a motion of AIR through the teeth and lips as the upper teeth collapse on the lower lip and air is passed through. Note this concept clear, for there is no error.
In this way should explanations be advanced that accurately advance the hidden intent behind Qaballistic constructions of words and sounds.
Fusion of Letters/Numbers/Sounds
One of the basic tenets of Qaballistic constructions (and hence de-construction) is the reality that Letters/Numbers/Sounds are inseparable. This principle lies at the very core of Qaballistic constructions. The Sepher Yetzirah, or "Book of Formation", is one of the primary sources highlighting this concept:
In thirty-two mysterious Paths of Wisdom did Exalted One, the Dweller in eternity, most high and holy--engrave his name by the three Sepharim --Numbers, Letters, and Sounds.(references to Jewish exclusivity purposely deleted to properly reflect Occult reality)
The confusing reality to the neophyte of the Qaballistic Arts is the precise way in which numbers are applied to Letters and Sounds: there is oft a presumption to accept initial statements as being writ of fact followed by a failure to adequate inquire as to the issue.
The fact is as follows: the application of Numbers to Letters and Sounds is both a relative and fixed reality.
For instance: we may say that B is a product of the summation of 1:2 in that B is placed at number 2 and the sum of 1:2 is 3 (1+2=3). The Letter B is comprised of the glyph 1 and 3, "squished" or "contracted" together akin to words as "cannot" being compressed to form the word "can't" or "do not" being compressed to form "don't". The very words "can't" and "don't" are, therefore, shortened expressions of a larger expression.
B is 2, but it is a mathematical expression of 1+2=3.
B and D are fixed in this way and remain the primary expression of the qaballistic expression or construction of "letters/numbers/sounds". B and D clearly show a letter, a number, and a sound. Further, as there is a larger and core binary skeleton, we find that B is 2 and D is 4, and hence the natural binary expression would be 8 as in 2/4/8.
Hence, we find at position 8 of the Isisian Codes the letters H and X, forming the mathematical/geometrical concept of a HEX, a word meaning "6 sides". "8" has a value of 36 when using its summative value (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8=36=6 squared, or a six sided figure).
The core expression of "letters/numbers/sounds" is clearly embed into the English sound set, strategically fused to nature in the BEE and the HEXAGON, a fusion that hints at the lower and upper range of the primary letter/number/sound fusion, ie, B and HX.
A Qaballistic Deconstruction of Words and Sounds
A qaballistic deconstruction of words and sounds, must, by inference, include an analysis of the letters that are the building blocks to the larger word. Single letter sounds are "simple" and double letter sounds are "complex". Mathematically, complex sounds are treated should be considered a single mathematical digit.
The sound set "TH", for instance, should be considered to be "360", or a circle. This is evidenced by the word "THE".
If the co-relations are sufficiently diffused for the observer to comprehend the concept being expressed, there must accompany a rational explanation as to the construction and its intent, while we must avoid at all times fusing fallacies of things (false concepts) and take care to not read too much into a concept such that the invention is itself false.
We know that the Ancients constructed their religious/philosophical systems in relation to the Sun, hence "Solar Worship". We know that to differentiate between "one god" and "the gods", an arbitrary term "monotheism", was constructed. Since "mono" is a prefix, and "ism" is a suffix, then "the" is the root of the word "monotheism".
We must then solve for the esoteric construction of the word THE.
Since words do not appear in a vacuum, but rather in relation to other words, comprising as it were a "body of thought" that expands into an expression called "language", we must therefore take into account the usage of words. In the case of the word THE, it is rather unique in English in that it always precedes NOUNS. In English, "THE" does not take on gender as the Latin/Roman languages.
For example. In English we say "the girl" while in Spanish we say "la muchacha". "THE" takes on a masculine "el" and feminine "la" in Spanish.
THE always precedes NOUNS.
Within this larger qaballistic deconstruction is the idea of letter transformations. Some letter transformations are part of a structured "alphabet transformation", in, say, the "At Bash Cipher". There are over 70 recorded major alphabet translations, while some sources put the number as high as 300.
In the At Bash Cipher, the first letter of the Alphabet is transposed to that of the last as shown here:
In this example, the word THE would be written GSV.
The Isisian Codes is far more dynamic and intuitive. There is an inherent logic and reason employed that is not as "machine" or "mathematical" code, although mathematics (number) clearing is the underlying frame or skeleton.
For example. Phonetics may be transposed. D and T clearly may be transposed.
In this case, the letters D, N, and T, 3 of the 4 "DENTALS", clearly have mathematical equivalencies. L, being the final DENTAL, does not share the same mathematical sequencing and so its transposition into a word must be more carefully considered. L being but the "fallen T", may often find some value when replacing a T.
D, N, and T's may always be transposed.
For example. Take the word KRYTPONITE. Since N's are T's are D's, we can cipher the final "T" to an "N" to form the word KRYTONINE. We then transpose the final "NE" to the beginning of the word to form ENKRYTONI. We then cipher the I to rest before the O to reveal the word ENKRYPTION.
What destroys "Superman", or "mankind in a higher state" is that his language has been encrypted. It is through decrypting this hyper-dimensional code that mankind is able to become "Superman".
In the case of the word NOUNS, we see a very simple cipher. Since D's are N's are T's, we can transpose the first N to that of a D to reveal DOUNS. We then exchange the S with the D to reveal the word SOUND. What are "THINGS" are that which, philosophically at least, can be vibrated upon and hence create a SOUND. Imagine the wind rustling through some trees. It is the wind's interaction with trees that create the sound. Trees is the object which wind may interact.
Since letters are also numbers, we must consider the summative value of each letter. A good way to do this is to simply memorize, as in a multiplications, what precisely are the summative values. This becomes a table as shown above with the Hebrew alphabet. Simply apply the same principle to the English alphabet.
Now lets analyze the word THE.
If you have formed your summative tables and memorized the digits, you should be able to see that T is 20, its ordinal value, 210, its summative value, 4, its Isisian Code value, and 10, its Isisian Code summative value. The Letter H is 8, its ordinal value, and 36, its summative value. Since H is a part of the original 1-9 sequence, it does have a modifier number as T, shifting as T does from 20 to 4.
Anytime you see a pairing that creates a representative Pi number, as, say, 360 degrees of a circle, it is a safe estimation that this was the original intent. The entire system was based on Pi. In the case of the complex sound set TH, we have can see that T = 20 = 210 = 4 = 10, H = 8 = 36. In this case, the summative values of 10 for T and 36 for H reveal 360, or the degrees of a circle. Simply add the "E", which is 5, and THE = (T*H)+5 = 365 days in a year.
THE is word that is representative of the SUN, a number/word which too has a value of 365.
The strangeness of a word as MONO THE ISM becomes rather apparent.

We are flexible about how you use the space and are happy to work with you to create different areas for different parts of the day. This includes use of the lawn to the rear of the property for marquees and the pontoon area overlooking the large pond.
We are licensed to hold weddings & civil ceremonies meaning that you can host your entire day from start to finish in one venue, with the full use of our wedding marquee attached to the main venue giving you ample space for your sit down reception meal, whether formal or informal leaving the main venue with fully stocked licensed bar, band, disco and dancing.
We appreciate that it takes time to prepare the venue. Therefore it is our policy to only host one wedding per weekend and to allow the bridal party access to the venue in the day before and after the wedding.
Outdoor sunflower wedding
Tom and Gemma were married at Swavesey Windmill last summer. They wanted to make the most of the outdoor space and held their wedding ceremony on the pontoon by the lake. We had a marquee too just in case the weather turned!
The ceremony was followed by dinner and dancing indoors. Their blue and yellow colour scheme was perfect for the summer months with sunflowers used all around the venue.
The happy couple made sure to take time out to have some great photos taken all around the venue.
Balloons and bubbly
Sam and Charlotte held their reception at Swavesey Windmill this summer. They made great use of the marquee decorating it with helium balloons and really making the space their own. Fortunately the weather was good enough for photos and drinks outside.
The couple chose to convert the space for the evening do to make sure there was plenty of room for dancing.

Delicious combo vegetable salad
Dilled Veggie Salad

See Dilled Veggie Salad on Key Ingredient.
I found this recipe in an Aussie food rag. If you don't like grams, try about 12 cherry tomatoes and a regular family sized mess of green beans. I haven't figured out how Aussies decide whether to use metric or English. Seems metric for weight and English for volume? Anyway this salad was a pleaser. I'd say if you spiked it up with tempeh it would be a meal on its own.

Lumberton student arrested for threat
A Lumberton Middle School student was arrested March 8 for sending a threatening message regarding the school, Lumberton Independent School District Assistant Superintendent Gerald Chandler announced in a news release the same day.
According to Chandler, the student was detained within a few minutes of the message neing received. No student was harmed, and the campus did not have to engage in a lockdown.
"The Lumberton Independent School District would like to thank Lumberton Police Department and everyone involved for swiftly dealing with this action and ask that parents be vigilant and knowledgeable of their child's communications through their phones," Chandler stated. "Please be reminded that safety and security of our students are of utmost importance."

How to log events to Azure Event Hubs in Azure API Management
Azure Event Hubs is a highly scalable data ingress service that can ingest millions of events per second so that you can process and analyze the massive amounts of data produced by your connected devices and applications. Event Hubs acts as the "front door" for an event pipeline, and once data is collected into an event hub, it can be transformed and stored using any real-time analytics provider or batching/storage adapters. Event Hubs decouples the production of a stream of events from the consumption of those events, so that event consumers can access the events on their own schedule.
This article is a companion to the Integrate Azure API Management with Event Hubs video and describes how to log API Management events using Azure Event Hubs.
Create an Azure Event Hub
For detailed steps on how to create an event hub and get connection strings that you need to send and receive events to and from the Event Hub, see Create an Event Hubs namespace and an event hub using the Azure portal.
Create an API Management logger
Now that you have an Event Hub, the next step is to configure a Logger in your API Management service so that it can log events to the Event Hub.
API Management loggers are configured using the API Management REST API. Before using the REST API for the first time, review the prerequisites and ensure that you have enabled access to the REST API.
To create a logger, make an HTTP PUT request using the following URL template:
https://{your service}.management.azure-api.net/loggers/{new logger name}?api-version=2017-03-01
- Replace
{your service}with the name of your API Management service instance.
- Replace
{new logger name}with the desired name for your new logger. You reference this name when you configure the log-to-eventhub policy
Add the following headers to the request:
- Content-Type : application/json
- Authorization : SharedAccessSignature 58...
- For instructions on generating the
SharedAccessSignaturesee Azure API Management REST API Authentication.
- For instructions on generating the
Specify the request body using the following template:
"loggerType" : "AzureEventHub",
"description" : "Sample logger description",
"credentials" : {
"name" : "Name of the Event Hub from the portal",
"connectionString" : "Endpoint=Event Hub Sender connection string"
loggerTypemust be set to
descriptionprovides an optional description of the logger and can be a zero length string if desired.
credentialscontains the
connectionStringof your Azure Event Hub.
When you make the request, if the logger is created, a status code of
201 Created is returned. A sample response based on the above sample request is shown below.
"id": "/loggers/{new logger name}",
"loggerType": "azureEventHub",
"description": "Sample logger description",
"credentials": {
"name": "Name of the Event Hub from the Portal",
"connectionString": "{{Logger-Credentials-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}}"
"isBuffered": true,
"resourceId": null
For other possible return codes and their reasons, see Create a Logger. To see how to perform other operations such as list, update, and delete, see the Logger entity documentation.
Configure log-to-eventhubs policies
Once your logger is configured in API Management, you can configure your log-to-eventhubs policies to log the desired events. The log-to-eventhubs policy can be used in either the inbound policy section or the outbound policy section.
- Browse to your APIM instance.
- Select the API tab.
- Select the API to which you want to add the policy. In this example, we're adding a policy to the Echo API in the Unlimited product.
- Select All operations.
- On the top of the screen, select the Design tab.
- In the Inbound or Outbound processing window, click the triangle (next to the pencil).
- Select the Code editor. For more information, see How to set or edit policies.
- Position your cursor in the
outboundpolicy section.
- In the window on the right, select Advanced policies > Log to EventHub. This inserts the
log-to-eventhubpolicy statement template.
<log-to-eventhub logger-id ='logger-id'>
@( string.Join(",", DateTime.UtcNow, context.Deployment.ServiceName, context.RequestId, context.Request.IpAddress, context.Operation.Name))
logger-id with the value you used for
{new logger name} in the URL to create the logger in the previous step.
You can use any expression that returns a string as the value for the
log-to-eventhub element. In this example, a string containing the date and time, service name, request id, request ip address, and operation name is logged.
Click Save to save the updated policy configuration. As soon as it is saved the policy is active and events are logged to the designated Event Hub.

after The Log Lady
Sometime men, like ideas, jump up and say 'hello'. They introduce themselves, these men, with words. Are they words? These men speak so strangely. All that we see in this world is based on someone's men. Some men are destructive, some are constructive. Some men can arrive in the form of a dream. I can say it again: some men arrive in the form of a dream.
things i'm reading while waiting for an emotional starlit cheque
'I was ashamed, but undaunted (my epithet?).'
The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson is killing me sentence by sentence.
'I read it again, from cover to cover, lying in bed on a grey morning. I looked ay my dressing grown, the turquoise towel hanging on the door, the North Pacific Ocean on the map above my bed reflecting in the mirror on the opposite wall and, very suddenly, the mid-January sky blue through the shreds of the trees.'
& while we're on Maggie Nelson, Rebecca Perry writes beautifully on her Bluets in the latest The Poetry Review.
'If we can't have everything what is the closest amount to everything you can have?'
From a new poem by Emily Berry, which you can watch online thanks to a new reading series The Poetry Extension, founded by poet Natalya Anderson. The first event features Rebecca Perry, Jack Underwood, Matthew Tierney, Ada Limon, Emily Berry, Sara Peters. You can watch the event here.
'do you know what it's like to live / someplace that loves you back?'
from Danez Smith's "summer, somewhere" first published in Poetry but also in the latest The Poetry Review thanks to their regular exchange with Poetry magazine.
'Okay guys see you in a while'
Joey Connolly wants to read more books from other countries. I am very impressed. You can watch his progress & pick up book recommendations here. There's also loads of good stuff on Joey's blog. LATE ADDITION: Joey's just made his entire reading list public which takes account of gender, ethnicity, countries etc with the objective of reading more broadly. It's amazing! Take a look.
'The new me would not talk about her feelings so publicly anymore'
from Julia Scheele's brilliant comic on mental health and autobiography.
'Sometimes, it feels like every day brings a new statement on abortion from someone whose opinion you really don't want to hear.'
Stephanie Boland writes on Donald Trump and the UK's own abortion problem in The New Statesman.
'I looked like the mad wife in Jane Eyre / who was locked in the attic: hair crazy, / wearing my bathrobe over trousers / (I'd run out of clothes), crying & laughing / like there was no difference.'
This is from Kathryn Maris's pamphlet 2008 published by If a Leaf Falls Press, which is run by Sam Riviere. The press publishes very limited edition poetry with an emphasis on appropriative and arbitrary writing processes. I am very excited to see what Monica McClure's involves, which is coming soon.
'if you're lonely, this one's for you'
so reads the dedication of Olivia Laing's beautiful The Lonely City.
'No space for body in the poetry. No / space for body at the cool kids party. No space for body / on the exam table. Definitely no space for body in the family / plot. Body all that potential.'
from The Fat Sonnets by Samantha Zighelboim.
'How does it feel to be a problem? The mute centuries shatter in my ear.'
Safiya Sinclair's winning poems from The Boston Review poetry competition.
'we learned to speak of our own souls with great candour, so close did we feel to them, when before they had seemed like trick staircases to nowhere, sealed behind glass.'
A new poem by Sara Peters in The Walrus.
Only Instead of a Star
after Mabel Evelyn Key
it must be very beautiful
the place i'd like to spend my life in
because loneliness
is my new summer rigour
is all my own work
is the prettiest i've ever had
because loneliness
is the common task
my only pal
i believe i'm getting morbid
i often did without
some things that happen
seeing things
is too much for my intelligence
everything seems very awful
quaint, pretty little thing
like other girls
i hope you never know
what it is to be lonely
and sad
all day & every day
cured of infatuation
not a soul remembered
my intelligence
This poem appeared in Roulade.
Caught in the Champagne-sleet of Living
Last year Poetry London invited me to write a personal response to Rosemary Tonks's collection poems, Bedouin of the London Evening, published by Bloodaxe. The response appeared in Poetry London's Spring 2015 issue and is reproduced in full here.
Caught in the Champagne-sleet of Living: Amy Key's personal response to Rosemary Tonks's rediscovered poetry.
Sometimes when I read poems, they wash over me as if they were hardly there, a culinary foam, all air. 'Can I taste this yet?' I ask. Others I munch through like a bucket of popcorn, feeling dissatisfied and guilty afterwards. I can't absent-mindedly munch Rosemary Tonks's poems. Like a night spent downing shots of absinthe, I first binge-read The Iliad of Broken Sentences, the second of the long out-of-print collections she published in the 1960s, some six years ago and got terribly drunk. I loved her work but felt somehow overwhelmed as if the poems had layered me in a scent I couldn't wash away. Reading Bedouin of the London Evening helps me understand why I felt this way.
In 'Love Territory', Tonks has layers of 'bronze-brown dusk', 'bronze nights', 'brown nights' and 'deep bronze' interspersed with 'half-lit', 'half-dark' and 'half-light'. Repetition of certain words and ideas is a hallmark of her work. I'd probably ask for more variation if someone brought me this poem for feedback. But over the whole book it's 'savage' and hideous – the accumulation of her Collected Poems' sludgy colours becomes obsessive, creating menace. For me, these sepia poems provide a counter-balance to the dominant trope of Swinging London: all Union Jacks and Pop Art mini-skirts.
Tonks's personal iconography extends to fabrics, cafes, meat and London, like particular colours these too, are recurring motifs. Two that struck me most – cabbages and diamonds – frequently appear in both her books. They seem to signify the queasy meld of the dreary and casual with the exotic and sensual. 'Sentenced to cabbages', Tonks notes 'cabbage-light', 'cabbage-shade' – and the more workaday cabbage stumps and banknotes. Diamonds are 'spat… drunkenly' or conversely 'heavy drinking', she wants to 'take a diamond' to scratch 'your junkie's green-glass skin'. I did wonder if Tonks had an awareness of this prevalence, in the same way you might collect 'special' pebbles from different beaches and find yourself unable to distinguish between them later. In another poet's work, the overwhelmingly opulent layering of images and iconography might turn me off, but it's precisely this excess that is so compelling to me in Tonks.
Reading Tonks has brought to mind lots of contemporary poets' work. I can hear the pizzazz of Heather Phillipson, the disquiet of Emily Berry, Annie Freud's elegant luxuriance, Fran Lock's gothic tenderness. In re-reading her work, I've come to notice how influential Tonks was for me. Her exclamations and fondness for contrasting glitz with grime mark my own work. Most surprisingly I find myself thinking of the US poet Chelsey Minnis. To me, Tonks is a poet revulsed and intrigued by her own desires. Likewise Minnis's poetry exposes the grubby, seedy and outrageous. It does this through an overlay of indulgent glamour, 'like buttery sweetbreads spilled down the front of your dress'. Though more permissive than Tonks, Minnis is fascinated with her self-disgust: 'Because I like both pleasure and revulsion… I have a great desire to enjoy my own disgust'.
I almost imagine it is to Tonks that Minnis addresses:
If you deny yourself pleasure, then what does it do for the people around you?
Are you trying to please god with right-seeming behaviour?
This is a dark dark error… (from 'Poemland')
In 'Bedouin of the London Morning' Tonks writes: 'if you knew the exotic disgust that grips me… If you knew my (half erotic) convulsion of loathing'. She seems terrified we might turn our backs on her, but dares us to. Her poems are full of foreboding, as though she's warning us off a terrible calamity. Sometimes this is very direct, as in the brilliant 'Done for!':
Take care whom you mix with in life, irresponsible one,
For if you mix with the wrong people
– And you yourself may be one of the wrong people –
If you make love to the wrong person,
They will do you ferocious, indelible harm!
If Tonks were writing today, I'd assume her work to be self-aware melodrama, a send-up – all those exclamation marks, that self-berating tone; it's hard not to read with a millennial raised eyebrow. Yet I found it refreshing to read poems that are so gorged on their own feeling its impossible not to take them absolutely seriously. That's not to say the poems are without their humour. How's this for a one-liner? – in her take-down of the 'Students in Bertorelli's':
Nothing holds upright but some cold green diction, banknotes, a penis.
And she can find herself ridiculous, for her 'irresistibly amusing' thoughts, her 'fierce hot-blooded sulkiness', for writing poetry – poets being 'disreputable pets!'. I fiercely love this from 'The Sofas, Fogs and Cinemas':
Make them drink their own poetry!
Let them eat their gross novel, full of mud.
In perhaps Tonks's best known poem, 'Badly Chosen Lover', Tonks addresses the poem's subject: 'My spirit broke its fast on you'. That poem – the first of hers I read, when it was anthologised by Bloodaxe – has taken on the quality of an anthem for me. I'm reminded of reading Anaïs Nin's diaries at nineteen, swept up in ecstatic, grubby romanticism. These are 'drug strong enough' poems. I often had to steady myself when reading them, to close the book for fear of falling out of my own senses.
Amy Key's first collection, Luxe (Salt, 2013), was reviewed in PL 87.

A Mostly Exquisite Epic
Earlier in the Summer I was asked by the Southbank Centre to design a free poetry activity to run during the Festival of Love. My friend Camellia Stafford was with me when I got the email and we started to come up with ideas, one of which was based on a favourite game we like to play when we're drinking. (One other idea, 'Feeling Emojinal' didn't pass the test, but I hope I can make it happen one day).
So at the weekend Camellia and I set up camp in the Arcadia Pavilion at the Southbank Centre, and asked members of the public to help us create an epic love poem, which once finished will go into the Poetry Library's permanent collection and will hopefully go online in its entirety somewhere.
The idea was that we'd write one 'exquisite corpse' style, with people responding only to the previous line in the poem, and in the process we'd make something weird and wonderful. To get us started I asked Maurice Riordan, Kathryn Maris and Patrick Mackie to write the first three lines. We then added one by John Keats and let the public take it on from there.
We were worried no one would get involved, but after a slow start whole families descended on us, each person keen to add their line on what love is, many choosing to put their love for their family on the record. Children added lines of love for pizza, Frisbee, rockets, fairies, salami and ice cream. One of my favourites came from my friend Wayne's daughter:
Love is like a unicorn hat and lilies.
We interspersed them with lines from Rossetti, Dickinson, Yeats, both Brownings. Some of our poet friends popped down to add to the epic (thank-you Rebecca Perry, Crispin Best, Wayne Holloway-Smith, Sophie Richmond and Alex MacDonald). Others texted or tweeted lines for us to use. We spotted Neil Rollinson on his way to lead a poetry workshop & persuaded him to join in. Occasionally we slipped in ones of our own and in a POEM GOES GLOBAL moment, received a contribution from editor of POETRY magazine, Don Share.
By the end of the second day we had over 18 A3 pages of poetry, tacked up on the glass wall of the Royal Festival Hall – our guess is we have around 200 lines so far – not quite an epic yet. But what it lacks in epic scale, it surely makes up for in number of authors!
This coming weekend I'm doing it all again and will be joined by poets Emily Hasler (Saturday) and Alex MacDonald (Sunday). Come to see us between 11am – 4pm Sat 11 & Sun 12 July or tweet me @msamykey to contribute to this very strange and lovely thing.

Ah, invoices. These little notices can be the bane of business owners everywhere, but especially those of us who are freelancers or own a small business.
Larger companies can at least have the option of having an entire department worry about the paperwork side of finances. If you are your own boss, that is your responsibility.
You wanted to become a freelance blogger, journalist, trainer, artist, consultant, or whatever else to help other people and make your mark on the world on your own. But being on your own can be scary, and missteps can be fatal.
So how to navigate the wide, confusing world of making sure your clients pay you? MoonClerk is here to help!
What constitutes an actual invoice?
The novices among us may not know! An invoice is simply a document—electronic or paper—given to a client to inform them of the goods and services they have procured from your business. It usually includes:
- How much each of these things cost
- Any additional fees that have been incurred (like late fees, rush fees, or additional charges)
- The date by which you expect to be paid in full
- Any additional notes for the recipient
Can you send invoices manually? Sure. But who wants to spend time chasing down clients when you could be spending it getting new ones or working on other projects? (This MoonClerk client agrees.)
Why is an invoice important?
Besides ensuring that you get paid, an invoice helps the buyer to have a document that proves they did pay you and allows them to keep track of their own finances and tax information. An invoice also allows you to have clear documentation of output, income, and business volume on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis.
What do I need to include on my invoice?
These are the basics:
- All of the goods and services for which you are charging the client. Generally, the more itemized and clear the list is, the better. Be sure to use clear names for things and list explicitly all costs and fees associated with each item.This is especially important if you are including multiple projects, goods or services on one invoice. Be sure to clearly distinguish them from one another and include the precise cost for each. This cuts down on confusion and helps you get paid sooner.
- Include whether the cost of the item is project-based or hourly. If hourly, be sure to include how many hours you worked and what the total cost is (just to be safe).
- The date on which you are sending the invoice. This becomes very important if you list, as some freelancers do, a certain amount of days from that date that the client has to pay.
- The date on which you expect to be paid. It is very important to discuss with your client beforehand—as in before you begin the project—how many days between the writing of the invoice and the due date there are. It is unfair to the client to not let them know how long they have to pay you.)
- Any late fees that will be incurred based on how late the payment is, as well as whatever follow-up terms (overdue notices, interest, etc.) will be expected. This must be stated explicitly to prevent any claims of ignorance or evasion on the part of shady clients.
- Any specific instructions on how you wish to be paid. (With MoonClerk, this step is functionally eliminated since everything is done electronically.)
Be Easy to Find
Disgruntled clients are bad. Disgruntled clients who are exasperated because they can't get a hold of you are worse. If you are a one-person show, simply including your contact information is enough.
But what if you're a larger company? Or, what if multiple people worked on different aspects of the project? You'll need to be clear about who they can contact with questions or concerns and the hours in which they can be reached. You will need to decide as a company who will handle these kinds of issues.
For example, let's say three people worked on a project together. Do you want all three to be equally responsible for complaints? Is one of you a supervisor? Let the client know who they can speak to directly with any issues. Then, be willing to follow through!
Numbers are Your Friends
Make sure to number your invoices. An easy way to do this (if your program does not number them automatically) is to place the year first followed by whatever number invoice this is for that year. For example, 2017098 would mean the 98th invoice of 2017.
It's easy to see why a clear numbering system is important. Let's say you are following up with a client who hasn't paid you (go here for more about that). How will you be able to clearly, succinctly, and with easy proof show them they haven't paid?
By asking them about "that invoice for that project I did for you six months ago"? Or by showing them a copy of invoice #2017072, with the date it was sent, the due date, and reminding them that they received a copy (which, with MoonClerk, they would have)?
Understanding Nets
Have you ever seen wording like "Net 15" or "Net 30" on an invoice? Have you wondered what that means? It's just industry-insider talk for how many days the client has to pay their bill, counted from the day the invoice is sent.
For example, if you send the invoice to your client on May 15th, and have the notation "Net 15" on the invoice, it means they have until May 30th to pay you in full (or the first installment, or half, or whatever you have agreed upon).
How do you determine how many days to give? Wisdom is important here. It is permissible to give different clients different net numbers based on circumstances. Smaller payments can be expected as due upon receipt. Larger ones can be given a longer time frame, with the additional option of paying in installments.
All of this should be clearly stated on the invoice, and some of it should have been discussed beforehand.
Who Pays the Fees?
Remember that virtually whichever way your payments are processed (with the possible exception of checks and cash), there will be fees involved, sometimes steep ones. If you are unwilling to pay these fees entirely yourself, you can add a surcharge to your invoice to offset at least some of the impact.
This must be stated very clearly and it may not be the kind of thing you can do with every client. Also consider only charging this fee for especially high processing costs (which tend to increase if the transaction is higher).
The point is to agree ahead of time on which party will absorb any necessary fees for them paying you for your job, and to state this clearly on the invoice.
It's the Little Things
Put thought into the design of your invoice. Who wants to read something that looks like a cellphone bill? Make it both professional and inviting.
You do not want your last contact with your client to be a sloppy mess–or perhaps worse, a bland, uninspired, cold paper.
Express your personality, the ethos of your business, and the positive experience you want them to have because they worked with you.
In today's culture, it is quite common for small businesses to be more personal and individualized than in years past, so don't be afraid of a little whimsy (like on this example) or including the client's name in a pre-prepared note of explanation.
Feel free to include a personal note of thanks for their business and express appreciation for the chance to work with them now and in the future.
Additionally, don't be afraid to invite feedback. This is above and beyond the standard "please let me know if you have questions" line. Perhaps tell them of a place in your website where they can post a review, or of an email address set aside for just that purpose.
This not only communicates a sense of responsibility to them, but it also allows you to grow as an entrepreneur–you'll quickly find out from clients themselves what works, what doesn't, and why.
Invoicing is a fact of life for everyone involved in business. For freelancers, it's the difference between getting paid for your hard work and going broke. Especially for those of us just striking it out on our own in self-employed independent work, making sure we're seen, heard, and valued for our efforts can be time-consuming enough.
Why create more frustration for yourself than is already inherent in starting your own business?
Learn how to create a quality invoice now. Fiddle with designs and layout and ideas until you find one that includes everything you need and speaks in your unique style. Your business is yours. Quality invoicing not only keeps it that way, but is essential to creating both the income and client interest to write your personal and professional success story.
(MoonClerk wants to help your business flourish too. Its automatic invoicing, simple learning curve, low fees, and lots of other features make it the best friend of freelancers and small business owners across the nation. You can hear from some loyal users who know and love MoonClerk here, here, and here.)

I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router and a Westell Dsl Modem connected to my computer. I have tried just about everything and I cannot get the Yesllow exclamamtion point to go away and give me access to the internet while having my Wireless Router connected. I have AT&T as my broadband service provider. I have heard that these routers were junk and they have had more issues that the average router. Can someone please advise.
Is the Westell Dsl Modem really a pure modem.
Maybe it's also a router and you're running into an ip address conflict.
So the Linksys router by default has the ip address 192.168.1.1. If the Westell Dsl Modem has the same ip address, you'll get such problem.
The original poster should always write the last response !!!
Let us know, if the problem is solved !!!
This Yellow exclamation mark you refer to, is it in Device Manager. If so then it is not the Router or Modem that is the problem, it is you Network Interface Card which probably needs drivers. Only when you have that sorted can you begin to configure your modem/router.
Nothing related to routers or modems ever appears in device manager unless they are connected via USB and then they appear in the USB section..
I just read thats its an adsl2+router
Where do you read this?
If the router is connected via Ethernet it wont be in Device Manager as the Operating system has no way of know what is on the other end except that it is another Ethernet device.
It's printed on the bottom sticker attached to the unit. So now that I know that my modem is a router also, how do I
make it work with my wireless router?
Click on my name above in my response and read my "how-to" guide on adding a second router.
You will want to use the LAN port to LAN port scenario and you'll want DHCP disabled on the downstream (second) router.
Don't forget to configure WPA encryption and a complex encryption key on the wireless network.
Before you do anything you need to get rid of that yellow exclamation point. you haven't yet told us where it is you see it.
Disconnect the Linksys Router first.
Make sure, your PC is configured to get ip address via DHCP.
Connect the PC directly to a LAN port of the Westell Modem Router.
You should now get an ip address automatically.
Maybe you have to click Start / Run and type
then click ok.
Type in:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /all
The default gateway is the ip address of the Westell Modem Router.
So open your web browser and type in the ip address of your Westell Modem Router.
Login to the Westell and check or change the configuration.
If the local ip address is 192.168.1.1, it's the same address that the Linksys Router uses by default and must be changed, so that you can connect both without ip address conflict.
I would suggest to use 192.168.1.2.
Disable DHCP in the settings of the Westell.
When done, disconnect the PC from the Westell and connect the Linksys to the Westell LAN port.
Connect the PC to a LAN port of the Linksys Router.
And again:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /all
Now default gateway it the Linksys Routers ip address.
In web browser type in the ip address of the Linksys Router, login to the web interface of the Linksys Router and make the configuration for the Linksys Router.
The original poster should always write the last response !!!
Let us know, if the problem is solved !!!
Ok, I am so confused. I am a DIYer and I like to work things out step by step on my own. Here are my Westell settings below. Please advise. Thanks

I changed a few things in your post. Some of that info you don't really want to advertise publicly.
Having said that.
Start with the Linksys router disconnected from your network and ensure everything is working properly on the Westell.
Once you're satisfied everything is working ok, check the DHCP settings on the Westell and make note of the DHCP Scope (usually it's 100 to 199 on most SOHO Routers).
Then, click on my name above, read my "how-to" guide on adding a second router. You're going to want to use the version where you connect LAN port to LAN port (ie: LAN port on upstream to LAN port on downstream).
Once it's connected and working, and clients plugged in to it can get an IP from DHCP, then configure your wireless network using WPA encryption.
If you are a DYI'er, then my guide should be all you need to get the second router, and it's wireless network, working. I get the feeling you didn't even look at it....
I did but I will try again. You make it sound so easy. I'll get back to you if I have any questions.
I did what you advised on your past post and no luck.
Hmmm....well, I hate to say it but, it's worked for me numerous times. Which is why I created the how-to guide.
I would recommend at this point you reset the router to it's factory defaults (with the router on - hold the reset button in for a slow 10 count and release and let it reboot). Once you've done that, start over from scratch. Disable DHCP, configure a LAN IP that's outside the DHCP scope of your other router (but in the same subnet of course) give it the same Subnet Mask as the other router and the Default Gateway IP should be the IP of your other router.
If that doesn't work, then your router may have other issues and need to be replaced.

Of all the summer skin care tips, the most important is to protect your skin from the sun's potentially harmful ultraviolet rays. You need SPF 30 or higher, applied before your makeup, and preferably a half hour before you head outside.
Summer Skin Care Tips
If you're having a true outdoors day, perhaps at the beach or a water park, you'll want to reapply your sunblock every two hours. Remember that your lips need protection too, so find a lip balm that contains SPF 30 as well. Too often, people overlook their lips in terms of sun protection and end up with cracked, sunburned lips or worse.
In the summer, your skin tends to produce more oil. This doesn't mean that you don't need to moisturize now, it just means that you can use your moisturizer a little more sparingly. And of course, stick to oil-free moisturizers.
Washing your face before bed is especially important in the summer. Your skin's increased oils mix with sweat, whatever's left of the day's makeup, and of course the dirt and pollution that accumulates on your skin just from daily exposure to the environment.
Smart Cover's Makeup Remover and Cleanser thoroughly washes and conditions your skin with its fruit acid and papaya enzyme formula, and you can use it not just on your face, but on your whole body. It easily removes even Smart Cover's long-lasting concealers, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth.
Taking care of your skin from the inside out is important, too. Drinking plenty of water is not only necessary for your well-being, but it will keep your skin looking beautiful and healthy. Also, eat lots of leafy green veggies and antioxidant-rich fruits. At this time of year, they're in great abundance from local farmers.
Be mindful about what you put into your body, and your skin will thank you!

Its capital expenditures (CAPEX) in 2010 made up of USD 66.5 million.
Oleksandr Barinov, CEO of Astelit, said the reduction in the revenues of the company accounted for closure of a non-profitable branch on transit of of international traffic and the lower rates of interconnect.
At the same time Barinov pointed to the EBITDA of the company for 2010, as EBITDA tripled over 2009. He assessed this as an achievement of the company's management through a complex of measures on trimming expenses, including restructure of tariffs to cut the expenses for interconnect.
He said the company expects its financial indexes to grow in 2011 through realization of a strategy focusing on regional approach to its clients, effective management and development of data transmission services.

From a remarkable tradition of excellence, Luke Air Force Base is forging the future of airpower.
From the very beginning, Luke Air Force Base (Luke AFB) has represented an iconic piece of American and Arizona history. And it is from this tradition of excellence that the future of airpower is being forged at Luke AFB – and celebrated at the Luke Days 2018 airshow!
A Brief History of Luke Air Force Base
The field was named for American hero and Arizona native 2nd Lt. Frank Luke Jr. Upon posthumously receiving the veneration, Luke was the first aviator to be awarded the Medal of Honor for his service during World War I.
Born in Phoenix in 1897 and nicknamed the "Arizona Balloon Buster," Luke was an alum of Phoenix Union High School who went on to serve his country honorably, scoring 18 aerial victories over the skies of France before his untimely death at only 21 years of age. On September 29, 1918, Luke shot down three enemy balloons before surviving a crash, drawing two pistols on the approaching enemy and killing several before being gunned down himself.
When it came time for the U.S. Army to build a field in Arizona more than 20 years later, it was only fitting that it bear the name of one of our most legendary hometown heroes. An existing Luke Field in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii released the name so that the honor could go to the new field in the Phoenix area.
"No one had the sheer contemptuous courage that boy possessed. He was an excellent pilot and probably the best flying marksman on the Western Front. We had any number of expert pilots and there was no shortage of good shots, but the perfect combination, like the perfect specimen of anything in the world, was scarce. Frank Luke was the perfect combination." – Maj. H.E. Hartney
As 2018 will mark 100 years since his death, the Luke Days 2018 airshow holds a special significance as we reflect on the base's origins, the immense achievements there since the 1940s and all that it will accomplish in the coming decades.
"Home of the Fighter Pilot"
Soon after excavation on the land west of Phoenix (in Glendale) began in 1941, Luke Field quickly became the largest fighter training base in the Army Air Forces, graduating more than 12,000 fighter pilots and contributing heavily to US victory in World War II. During this time, students were trained to operate the AT-6, P-40, P-51 and P-38.
The early pilot-training program at Luke Field benefitted the Allies well before the United States formally entered WWII as the U.S. Army was training Chinese pilots. During this era, the Chinese pilots would complete their primary training at Thunderbird Field before moving on to advanced training at Luke Field. The May 4, 1942 issue of LIFE notes that language proved among the most difficult barriers for the Americans and Chinese in this endeavor, especially given the multiple dialects spoken by the Chinese. Using key phrases, interpreters and hand signals, they were effective in readying multiple classes of Chinese airmen to return to their country and contribute to the war effort.
As the Air Force has evolved, so too has Luke AFB. Throughout its history, the base has been on the cutting edge with students progressing to Korea and Vietnam-era fighters and beyond.
Currently, Luke Air Force Base is home to more F-35 squadrons than any other Air Force installation – fitting when you consider its legacy.
The Future of Airpower
The Luke Days 2018 airshow will give civilians an exceptional opportunity to witness the Future of Airpower.
While Luke AFB will always hold a prominent place in military history based on past achievements, its role in the future of airpower is not to be underestimated. Given the base's reputation as the "Home of the Fighter Pilot," it may not come as a surprise that Luke AFB is projected to be the primary training site for the F-35 program.
The F-35 will be a focal point over the next 40-50 years as the Department of Defense looks to remain at the forefront of military technology. These advanced aircraft outperform any other in existence and are a boon to the security of our nation and our allies as we begin to replace aging fighter, strike, and ground attack aircraft. The aircraft's high level of maneuverability and instantaneous high-g performance is impressive, matching or exceeding even the most famed fourth-generation fighter jets. Add to it the highly advanced capacity for stealth (giving pilots first-look, first-strike opportunity), payload, range on internal fuel and more – it's not hard to imagine why the combat readiness of the F-35 was so widely anticipated.
The Luke Days 2018 airshow affords the opportunity for the public to witness history and see firsthand the unprecedented level of performance of the F-35.

With the Samsung Galaxy S4's release last year, we saw its popularity skyrocket quickly, and going into Google I/O, their annual developer's conference, nobody expected what Hugo Barra had to show us on-stage. At Google I/O 2013, Barra took a Galaxy S4 out of his pocket, and blew the audience's mind with the unveiling of the first Google Play Edition device.
The Google Play Edition line of devices, which currently include the Galaxy S4, HTC One (both 2013 and M8/2014), Sony Z Ultra, Motorola Moto G, and LG G Pad 8.3, are designed for developers to help them build and test apps on various devices and optimizing for different screen sizes and hardware, all while running an almost, if not completely, stock build of Android, which gets updates only a few weeks after the Nexus devices do.
This year so far has added the HTC One (M8) to the Google Play Edition roster, and many people expect that some of this year's most popular devices will be added as the year progresses. Last year, the Galaxy S4 was added, followed by the One (2013), but this year, it is proving to be the opposite. What does this all mean? It means that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is coming to the Google Play Edition party in a matter of months.
Just today, a certification document appeared on Bluetooth SIG's official site. The document cited a Samsung device with the model number SM-G900FG. For reference, the Galaxy S4 was known (internationally) as the GT-I9500, and the GPE device had the model number GT-I9500G. As you may remember, the international Galaxy S5, with LTE, was labeled SM-G900F. As you can probably infer, this new device will be a variation of the international LTE Galaxy S5, and that means it will most likely, if not certainly be, a GPE for our developing pleasure.
When will this new secret device come to light officially? Most likely at Google's I/O conference, we'll see this beauty show itself from somebody's pocket, so keep your eyes peeled for more coverage and peeks at the yet-to-be-unveiled Galaxy S5 Google Play Edition.

At the end of conference, eight Heritage students who received "Best Delegate" designations were also awarded speaking positions during Closing Ceremonies and five other students placed in Specialized Committees and Crisis Agencies – up from last year's bests of two speaking positions and two "Specialized/Crisis" awards.
Students spent their downtime exploring New York City and, post-conference, were joined by last year's co-presidents Grace King (UF) and Matthew Robins (Brown). The team was set to fly back to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. the night of March 13 but, due to impending snowstorm Stella, struggled to catch a flight back home.
"A three hour traffic jam caused us to arrive at the airport less than half an hour before our flight. Needless to say, a miracle was needed to get us all on the plane safely," MUN advisor and history teacher Mr. Mark Gruskin said. "I'd like to mention the heroism of several of our kids, who went above and beyond during this crisis – Amanda Wasserman, Lorenzo Lamo, Harrison Arnsberg, Zihan Kabir, Scott Robins and Alec Chao. Along with myself, we had to get Delta and TSA to expedite our check-in, expedite boarding passes and security, hold the plane for our group and deal with issues regarding the boarding passes of two of our students whose seats were "given away" due to a mistake by Delta."
King and Robins are still stuck in the blizzard.

Searching for love in all the wrong places. I have conducted numerous online dating investigations, for both male and female clients who have contacted me through this web site and my other web site, on INGENIO. My investigations found that some of the men and women from Africa, Russia and China are very sophisticated with their on line 419 dating love scams. (419) refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code (part of Chapter 38 obtaining property by false pretenses; Cheating)
Many times it is not the dating site who is perpetrating the fraud. It is some of the men and women who post a profile. With the sole intent of making a living, the perpetrators use other people's loneliness and desperation to their own advantage.
There are many respectable on line dating sites through out the world that have many success stories attached to them. These dating sites work very hard to keep the con artists at bay. But in today's fast paced, high tech world the weapon of choice is not the gun or knife anymore. It is the computer.
A tactic used today is called Catfishing.
My first investigation started when a friend of mine asked if I would investigate an over seas dating web site. He explained to me that a friend of his (whom I will refer to as Mr. W.) spent close to four thousand dollars talking to the woman of his dreams.
This dating web site allowed Mr. W. to post his profile and pictures for free. That was a great deal since many other on line dating web sites want a monthly membership fee ranging anywhere from eighteen to as much as fifty dollars per month, That is automatically billed to your credit card account.
Mr. W. told me that he put up a profile. Within a few days he was receiving e-mails from women who wanted to know more about him. To answer an e-mail from one of these ladies he would have to put money into his account and would be charged for every e-mail he sent. He explained to me that the more money you put into your account or credits purchased, the cheaper the cost of every e-mail you sent or received from the woman you started to communicate with would be. On this dating site, women can send out an e-mail for free. Once you answer her you will then be charged for all e-mails you send and receive.
This dating site would charge about five ($5.00) in US currency for every e-mail sent and received. Every time she sent an e-mail and he responded to her they would deduct a credit, which would cost of about $5.00 per credit from his account. The admirer (you) pays for all of the correspondence sent between you and your love interest. You send an e-mail you are charged a credit. You receive an answer to your e-mail. You are charged a credit.
As you can well imagine this can get very costly in a very short period of time.
The problems started when Mr. W. explained to me that his love interest seemed to misunderstand his e-mails and what he was trying to communicate to her. He was sending four to eight e-mails per day trying to fix the misunderstanding between the two of them. Spending twenty to forty dollars a day in credits, this was going on seven days a week.
When I asked Mr. W. why he did not give her his personal e-mail address or talk to her on messenger, he told me that she did not have a computer at this time and this was the only way she could communicate with him. I asked Mr. W. why not just take a trip to China and see her. Mr. W. had issues that prevented him from leaving the USA.
I opened an account and posted a profile on this and a few other dating sites to understand how the on line dating system works, and to ascertain if there was fraud involved here.
I talked to Mr.W. in his Attorney's office. I asked him to print out all of the e-mails sent and received between the two of them, so I could read the letters for content. It appeared to me, at times he was talking to three or four different personalities at once, or to a woman with an extremely moody personality. This was somewhat troubling to me.
In my investigations I found that this dating site has offices throughout China. Many of the women on this site are truly looking for men overseas to start a loving relationship with. The problem is that all of the e-mails sent and received must go through their dating site. They have people with basic English speaking and writing skills who read and answer all of the e-mails you send. Many times the girl you are writing to never sees or reads your e-mails. They (the office) will call the girl to inform her that she has an admirer. She will ask the office to answer you. She will go to the office to pick up your e-mail and picture when time permits, which has been translated into her dialect. The office would delete any personal contact information.
The communication problem that Mr. W. was experiencing with his girlfriend was the girls working in the office would answer your e-mails as they come in. Most of the time it was never the same office girl answering his e-mails. So depending on the level of the office workers English speaking skills, they were answering him based on their level of understanding of what he was trying to say in his e-mails. In essence he was talking to three different women at once. No wonder why Mr. W. was confused.
In other investigations, I have found that a man or a woman will post a profile on an American dating site and state they are living here in the USA. Their profile will say they are living in some obscure city in the Mid West or South Eastern USA. Once they have you on the hook emotionally and you start to press them for a face to face meeting, they will tell you they had to return to their country of origin because of a death in the family or some other disaster that has happened to a love one there. Usually, they need your help getting back to the USA because they lost all their money when their luggage was stolen at the Airport or some other catastrophe that has happened to them. These are 419 Nigerian scam artists. (419) is named after a formerly relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria. In brief, (419) is a sub-classification of Advance Fee Fraud Crime in which the perpetrators are West Africans, primarily Nigerians operating globally from Nigeria and elsewhere. These 419 love scams will always involve the wiring of funds, your funds to help them out in some way.
In one 419 Love Scam, a lovely twenty two year woman sent e-mails to me nonstop for over two weeks expressing her undying love for me. She was also talking to one of my clients, by the way, and she asked if I could wire her the money needed for her airplane ticket. She wanted to fly to Boston to meet me. She had lost everything in Hurricane Katrina including and not limited to: her mother, father, grandmother and pet poodle. Her profile had her living in Lovesville, North Carolina. I did not realize the tidal surge went that far north.
Believe me within a few weeks of e-mailing back and forth or talking on messenger with a con artist, (with a web cam so you can see how lucky you are to have such a lovely mate) there will be drama.
In my investigations, I also found what I call the bait and switch tactic. A man or woman usually in their twenty's will post a profile on another dating site and send you an e-mail. Once you answer him or her, they will ask you to open an account on an other dating web site that does translation services, so the two of you can communicate better. These web sites will charge you for every word or character they translate. Again, you pay for every e-mail you send or receive. One woman I became friendly with told me she received a small percentage for every client who opened an account and started to send e-mails.
On line dating can be a very exciting and rewarding experience. It can also turn very violent and deadly if you do not have a good understanding of the personality you are dealing with. If you have met someone on line, and are meeting them for the first time, I give my female clients a basic list of do's and don'ts,
1) For the first six dates or until you feel comfortable with the person, always meet him or her in a public place.
2) Have your own transportation to and from the meeting location if possible.
3) Let friends and family know where you are going, who you are meeting and what time you expect to be home.
4) Have your cell phone with you, batteries charged and your cell phone on. Have a friend call you during your first meeting to see how things are going. If you feel uncomfortable always trust your gut instinct. Have a code word that your contact will understand, and know you want to leave.
5) Never, never let someone you just met online, talk you into driving you home alone.
6) Know your tolerance for alcohol. Do not over drink.
7) If you meet in a club or bar never leave your drink unattended.
8) Never give someone you just met online your personal contact information, or home address.
9) A gentleman who has your best interest and safety at heart, will understand these rules. If your date ridicules you or tries to make you feel foolish because of them, loose him quickly.
10) Never send or wire money to anyone you have met online.
I will not tell you the horror stories I have been told by my female clients, who did not adhere to these basic rules.
Remember our two strongest drives are sex and aggression. There are those among us who have a deep uncontrollable need to express domination and control over other human beings. This is accomplished in different ways but with the same goal, control. They obtain extreme sexual and physical gratification by means of physical violence.
What a person projects and what they are may be two entirely different matters. A threat assessment profile conducted by this office will tell you what he or she is really all about. What do you expect from him or her once the honeymoon phase of the relationship is over?
Answering the question,
"What is the best I can hope for, what is the worst I can expect?"
As the famous FBI Profiler John Douglas has stated:
"On line, I can be anyone you want me to be."
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding on line dating. I am here to help you and answer any questions you may have.

I write about food but as I get more and more jaded with food trends (local and seasonal, eat the whole pig, oh you're making gourmet burgers, how unusual, everyone but probably not their dog are making them, and you say that you make your own bread, well that is wholesome yes yes yes, stab me now), I am becoming increasingly aware that I am not necessarily a great cook. Or host come to think of it.
Every weekend I trawl through the Sunday supplements and feed on bird's eye views of impossible salads (impossible because I can't be bothered to make them), I leer at close ups of the insides of pies marvelling at the architecture and crave the lightness of cakes, wafted with icing sugar that haven't felt the back of my wooden spoon.
Yet looking at food, talking about and even reviewing it, does not a good cook make. I have roasted pheasants dry for New Year, melted cheese on a radiator when a fondue heater failed and made chocolate mousses that had all the lightness of a truffle thrown hard at the pavement. My Victoria sandwiches are so shy they barely peak over the side of the tin and I recently made 2 kilograms of liquid marmalade which had been on the boil for about 2 hours.
It is with such honesty and boredom for the perfect photo of the perfect dish, and a sneaky stifled yawn at British food trends (yawn), that I wish to share with you the story of The Great Lobster Massacre.
- Invite some friends round. Lovely ones from up the road, who you have only just recently met. Make sure one of them is a vegetarian.
- Order some lobsters from another friend, pick them up on the way back from work and put them, still in their polystyrene box, in the freezer. Fail to even think about inviting friend to partake of lobsters he has just provided.
- Ignore the stacks of cookbooks from 'experts' that line your study wall, in particular, the new Nathan Outlaw in blue entitled British Seafood, foreword by Rick Stein. What do they know?
- Text a friend who once cooked you some nice lobster. Receive reply: hot until done = red = yum.
- Explain to very patient husband and polite dinner guest that lobsters are best cut in half (alive but quietened by the freezer) and put straight in the oven, temperature and time, um, negligible.
- Realise too late that the polystyrene box containing the lobsters has actually insulated them against the cold in the freezer. Tails are flapping and claws still moving.
- Give big sharp knife to husband while guest insists on watching and look away into the oven door (nothing in there) while jumpy lobsters are 'dispatched'.
- Overcook aforementioned lobsters so that tails are slightly chewy. Provide no sauces, no garlic butter, no oils, no lubrication to the already dried flesh.
- Drop large (ugly) baking tray of once delicious chips, made from local potatoes in front of lobster-massacre-spectating guest. Ensure that chips have been cooked about an hour before guests are due to arrive so that once re-heated they are chewy and soft and a little cold and very un-chip-like.
- And finally: make sure it's a Friday so you are too tired to give CPR to the lobsters, consult an actual cookbook, consider the timing of your vegetables or even maximising the pleasure of your guests.

Shockingly, a federal report has determined that the ambitious billion-dollar plan to give iPads to every public school student in Los Angeles was doomed from the start, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday night.
The report, crafted by the Office of Educational Technology at the Department of Education, is yet another humiliation for the country's second-largest school district, which has been hit by repeated scandals and crises over the past several years. Initially only provided to members of the LAUSD school board, the report went public after being posted on a local blog.
Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Superintendent John Deasy hoped to put his district at the forefront of innovation by adopting a program that would put an iPad in the hands of every single student at a cost of over $1 billion. Instead, the program attracted national ridicule as a tentative rollout at 47 schools in the fall of 2013 turned into an unmitigated disaster. Security filters that were supposed to keep students on-task were easily bypassed, while teachers often felt unprepared to make full use of the devices.
At first, the district simply slowed down the rollout, but mounting controversy led to the entire iPad contract being suspended last summer after hundreds of millions of dollars had been spent. Deasy resigned under pressure in October, and in a final humiliation, in December the FBI raided the district's offices to seize documents related to the contract, raising the possibility that criminal charges could result from the case.
Now, the federal government says the venture was doomed from the start thanks to tunnel vision and spectacularly poor planning.
One of the most fundamental errors officials made, according to the report, was to fixate on using expensive Apple products without seriously considering alternatives, several of which would have been far cheaper. That ignorance of alternatives existed with software as well, with the district sometimes even ignoring completely free options that were already available. That meant that from the start, the project was a significant financial burden less prepared for cost overruns and other difficulties.
In addition to spending too much on a narrow range of products, the Department of Education also found that the district had no organized vision for how classroom instruction should change to incorporate the devices. At many schools, the process of figuring out how to use the iPads only started once they had received them, rather than beforehand. Unsurprisingly, many teachers had no idea what to do.
"There is no common vision for how devices should be shifting learning and teaching within schools, making measuring impact difficult, if even possible," the report says. Not only that, but had the project been even somewhat successful, there was no organized system for identifying successful practices and implementing them district-wide, making it more likely that mistakes would be repeated at each individual school.
Combined with other failures, such as lack of teacher training and deficient Internet connections at some schools, the entire project was hopeless before a single device entered a student's hands.
The report is the first major outside evaluation of the LAUSD fiasco, and serves as an effective caveat emptor for other districts that may consider following LAUSD's path. The report concludes with numerous suggestions for avoiding future disasters, including appointing a single person to oversee all instructional technology decisions, but most suggestions amount to simply stating the need for far better planning and preparation than was shown by LAUSD officials.

Simple Guide To Buying Pickup Trucks
The first thing that any experienced person will tell you regarding buying pick-up trucks is to put the realistic evaluation of your concrete needs on top of your to-do list. Unless you're planning to engage in carrying multi-ton loads, your needs probably don't require a heavy-duty pickup truck. In that case, it is better to opt for something lighter, such as compact pickup or a minivan. Renting also enters the equation if you don't plan to use the intended pick-up truck regularly.

Simple Guide To The Most Important Crane Trucks Parts
A crane truck is a truck that has attached a crane apparatus to a mobile platform. In order to lift and lower object, cranes are hydraulically powered. Cranes must be operated by well trained and experienced operators, who know how to follow safety procedures and prevent serious accidents from occurrence what can result in serious injuries.
The crane attachment on a crane truck operates in 3 ways:
- It can work as a balance crane with the help of a horizontal beam;
- It can work as a jib crane with a pulley system that winds cables in order to enable the lowering or lifting motion;
- It can work as a hydraulic crane with a hydraulic system.
Crane trucks are made of basic truck parts, connected with one another, comprising the crane and its operation. Have a look at this simple guide that can help you understand which are the most important crane truck parts:
- Boom – Booms are the most easy-to-recognize crane truck parts. They are also known as the crane arm that has the power to lift and/or lower heavy loads. The boom crane truck part can operate from three different ways, making it appropriate for different types of operations.
- Rotex Gear – Rotex gear is another important crane truck part that can be purchased from any reliable truck parts Australia online store. It is located under the crane cabin or cab, allowing it to rotate or turn the boom through a hydraulic motor.
- Jib – Jibs are extensions that can enlarge the crane boom, in order to provide greater length and ability for higher lifting capacity.
- Operator's Cab – The operator's cab (crane cabin) is a crane truck part that is attached to the rotex gear, which allows the cabin to turn. Inside the operator's cabin is the operator's chair, crane control panel and an electrical equipment. The operator through the operator's chair can control the crane with the help of joysticks (control the boom motion), and the foot pedals (control the rotex gear pump pressure and the telescoping action of the boom).
- Outriggers – Outriggers give the essential balance and stability to the crane, which prevents the crane from overturning or leaning. Outriggers consist of 3 parts: pad or foot, beam or leg and a float.
- Detachable Counterweights – These crane parts can be found at the back of a crane, and help prevent the crane from being unstable during an operation.
These are all the essential parts of a crane truck. If in good condition, the crane will work at an optimal level. All these and many other crane parts can be found at every trustworthy and reliable truck parts Australia retailer. The only thing you need to do is to ask around or do an online research for the most popular, trustworthy, yet affordable truck parts Australia online store. Only this way you can be sure that you will get the value for your money.

A Memorandum of Understanding between the DA's office and West Coast Children's Clinic approved at Tuesday's meeting will include the implementation of a screening tool to screen at-risk youth for child sexual exploitation."The University of Texas estimates that there are approximately 79,000 children and youth in Texas who are survivors of sex trafficking; however, only hundreds of these victims are actually identified across the state each year," reported Victims Unit Director Rosie Martinez.The DA's office is using this best practice model that the Child Sex Trafficking Team of the Office of the Governor of Texas has selected for implementation by grantees and partners in an effort to form a regional continuum of care for child sex trafficking victims. "This valuable tool will assist the efforts put forth through our office to combat sexually exploited children," said Martinez. The Governor's office is strongly encouraging all agencies and organizations that may come into contact with child sex trafficking victims to consider implementing the CSE-IT tool. The Texas Juvenile Justice Department and the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services have also committed to implementing the tool.
