The Wolves of Winter by Tyrell Johnson: The Inspiration
This is a question writers get asked all the time. And some writers have really great, specific answers. Like: I was sitting on a bus and I saw a dog with a wooden leg and decided to write about wooden-legged, bus-riding dogs: their history and culture. But for a lot of writers, myself included, the inspiration for a novel, or indeed the inspiration to write in general, is a much more airy-fairy, metaphysical thing that's hard to pin down.
My own novel, The Wolves of Winter, had a lot of different inspirations. I had the setting in mind: I wanted a snowy, post-apocalyptic Yukon. I wanted a father/daughter relationship that was prevalent (due to having a young daughter myself). And I wanted it to be part survival story, part coming of age story, part literary tale, part epic post-apocalyptic madness.
So why did I write what I did? Is it my passion for the outdoors? Is it the fact that I grew up on fantasy novels and love the blend of literary/fantasy or literary/science fiction? Is it my own family dynamics? Yes. Of course. The problem is, it's all of those things. It's everything that makes me who I am. From my memories to my passions, from the books I read to the movies I watch, from the myriad of people in my life to the myriad of personalities in my head. It's everything.
So when an author tells you about that moment on the bus with the wooden-legged dog, I think she really is telling you the truth. BUT, I very much doubt it's the whole truth. Maybe the dog was the spark that lit the fire, but the fire doesn't burn without a giant pile of wood that's already there. Books are like people, they're messy things. They're a bringing together of ideas and passions and wishes and fears. It's why writing is so interesting. It's why reading is so interesting. You never know what your readers are going to get out of your novel; you might not even know what you're going to get out of it. While you thought you were writing a book about crippled dogs, in the end, you realize what actually inspired you to write was your deep-seeded fear of public transportation.
B O O K R E V I E W – 4 out of 5 Stars
The Wolves of Winter is a surprisingly fast read. I say that because, for all intents and purposes, it's a book set in the post-apocalyptic Arctic where the environment enhances the feel of the desolation of the times. Whereas with other books in this genre tend to build a largesse narrative explaining the genesis of the world that they come to know, the bones of The Wolves of Winter is highly tangible; easily imaginable. I feel like we're living in it now. The delicate global politics that only become even more so with the new American administration, it is indeed even more plausible now.
With the majority of the US population wiped out by a strain of Asian Flu, the McBrides fled to the remote Alaskan wilderness at first. But when the disease extended its reaches, they had very little choice but to flee even further up North. For years, it had only been Gwendolyn and what's left of her family. They'd survived by hunting, foraging, and preserving their food for the bitter winter. Life was a cycle of monotonous humdrum until a fugitive named, Jax appeared in their midst. Suddenly, the quiet life of the town of McBrides – population 5 – had become far from boring.
Tyrell Johnson's debut novel is a page-turner. There wasn't a second when you'd lose interest in the goings on of Gwendolyn's life. While she spent a lot of time immersed in her own self (for lack of company), her quiet introspective about the world and how it came to be pulled me that much deeper into the story.
There are a few aspects of the story that I wish was explored further, however. Ramsey, for one, had me speculating about his sexuality and his debilitating shyness when confronted with sex. Because he's the only person not related to the McBride's that's close to Lynn's age, it was only fitting that they'd be paired in all sense of the word. But any attempts at anything sexual with Lynn only led to tears and mortification. And yet, as soon as Jax entered the scene, Ramsey exuded attitudes attributable to jealousy.
There was also the appearance of white animals (foxes…crows) that I thought should've been better explained other than an adaptation to the new global climate of sorts. It felt like an afterthought that had no significance to the story at all. I also needed to read more about Jax's abilities. I felt that it was one of this book's strong points.
Regardless, I enjoyed this novel immensely. I've always loved reading post-apocalyptic novels, and Johnson's debut hits all the right spots. It's a page-flipper, a little desperate and sweet at times, but also violent. I especially loved Gwendolyn's relationship with her father. They were close and was each other's best friend. Lynn for her part is a strong character; stubborn and determined. Protective of those she loves. She is fearless and fierce and does what she can to adapt to a world that left her very little choice but to survive.
Overall, this was an outstanding debut. Vivid and bleak; exciting and tender at times.

The best tattoos ever have a few common traits:
- They are always completed by a talented artist with the knowledge and skills to do a great job that lasts for life.
- They are creative and individual instead of being carbon copies of existing designs.
- They are considered and planned — it's rare for a spontaneous tattoo to go down in the books as a piece worth noticing.
- And they are special to the people who get them. Pointless tattoos are often forgotten within a few weeks, but a tattoo packed with meaning will inspire the owner forever.

QR Codes – Play Activity – Week 9
When week 9 began I thought to myself I am lucky that the rules were changed for play activities because I have no way of participating this week. However, I am here to learn so I started to search the Internet to see if there is any way for me to play with QR codes. Following information I found surfing the Internet:
QR Codes
[Jeff Korhan] QR codes are like barcodes but they hold more information and they originate in Japan by [Denso Wave]
[Terrence O'Brien] QR codes are used to link information onto a smartphone. To read them you need to install an [App] that allows you to read the code. There are number of [App] available but the most common one is the QR Reader from iPhone App store.
I also asked a question on [Inn333 Group Blog]
- jennifer – I do not have a smart phone! Can I add a QR Code Widget from WordPress so that I can play with QR Codes? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qr-code-widget/
- sarah Hi there, if all you want to do is read the QR code then there are other options, for example if you download Google Chrome (it's a browser like Firefox or IE) you can add the QReader extension. There are also free online tools to create QR codes – if you do a basic web search you'll see hundreds of services!
I downloaded Google Chrome and I found the following sites. They are both very easy to use but I like the second one because you can use colour. Yeah! I can now play with QR Codes.
Play Activity – Mobile Technology – Week 9
Only a short blog to record information about mobile technologies because I do not have a smartphone! The information will help me when I became a member of the twenty-first century. Shock and horror, I am still using an old fashion phone:
[Wikipedia] Mobile technology is the way we communicate on mobile phones. Mobile code division multiple access (CDMA) technology is always evolving and we are becoming more and more depended on them. Next time you walking around Brisbane have a look at how many people are using a mobile technology device.
[Business Link] Mobile technology is not only mobile phones it incorporates a number of things:
- Laptop and notebook computers
- Palmtop computers or personal digital assistant
- Global positioning system (GPS) devices
- Wireless debit/credit card payment terminal
[Chris LaBelle] With the increase number of people moving away from the traditional workstations and laptops to smartphones, libraries and educational institutions need to change in the way they present information to their uses. Otherwise, libraries and educational institutions will lose a large part of their clients. Educational institutions and libraries need to formulate educational instructions for mobile devices and one way they can achieve this is by [Place-Based Learning]. [Business Link] Mobile technologies are here to stay and the benefits out way the negatives:
- Improve the service you provide your clients
- To pay for service or goods without going to the counter
- Pay for the meal without leaving the table
- Able to access your office network when you are out of the office
- Provide more flexibility for employees.
- Cost
- Staff training
- Security: wireless networks can allow access to personnel information
I have found same interesting resources that talk about mobile technologies:

Renting a car in Spain is a great idea for a road trip, a family holiday, or a business trip. Having your own car guarantees comfort and independence, as well as considerable savings. Below is a brief guide in which you'll find all the information on how to rent a car in Spain.
Launching new technologies onto the market can be very profitable, but it is also a huge responsibility. That is why companies first develop prototype products. This often involves multiple attempts to eliminate flaws and improve the product, which requires significant financial outlays. Therefore, in order to minimise expenses, companies often take advantage of the opportunities offered by small series production.
Manufacturers of armoured vehicles create innovative cars impress not only with the level of protection they provide, but also their appearance and functionality. It is hardly surprising that more and more people are fascinated by these types of cars. And the richest customers can afford to buy them.
The upcoming Olympic Games in Toronto will attract up to 10,000 athletes, representatives from the world of sport and coaches. However, it's the athletes who devote the most time to prepare for this event.
Stop for a moment and think about how you life looks now. Do you feel that you're losing time and all that you wish for is an extra two hours of sleep each day or a bit more time to spend with your family? Maybe if you had an extra hand, you would perform your daily tasks 30% faster. Does it seem impossible? It isn't.
Imagine people sitting next to each other or in two different places, who are staring at the screens of their phones and are captivated by a game. Maybe it's exciting, but only for a moment. A much better idea would be for them to play against each other on their smartphones, experience positive emotions together, share joy, motivate one other, and sometimes also experience defeat together.
The final chapter in the production of the McLaren P1™ has now been written as the 375th and final example was completed, bringing the curtain down on the most technologically advanced and dynamically accomplished supercar ever made.
Most families have at least one car. It often happens that all the adults in the family have one. Sometimes they even have two cars - a private one, and one for work. Therefore, if you are considering opening a business, it is a good idea to invest in developing a company in the automotive industry. Have a look at what your options are.
Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland are turning out to be the next big travel destination especially in the summer holiday.
Reaching the peak of our abilities is a challenge. But when we manage to overcome all our weaknesses and various adversities along the way, we are full of pride and satisfaction. For many people, battling against the forces of nature is a metaphor for overcoming their own weaknesses. And as you know, nature can be very capricious.
Not every successful manager has been recognized by experts, analysts and news tribes, in a word, by "football people", since the beginning of their career. 4Gamblers suggests short career stories about those mentors who proved that their capabilities were doubted in vain.
We often associate modern technology with extremely advanced machines used in large laboratories or factories which develop innovative solutions that do not affect the average person. However, the main advantage of well-developed technologies is that they serve the average person, making it much easier to work and do everyday tasks. We are surrounded by new technologies at every step.
Customers pass by your store, pause for a moment, and move on. Are you wondering why they never go inside? Perhaps it is the fault of a poorly designed display. If you haven't been concerned about selecting the right mannequins and other decorative items for your shop display, then it is time to change that.
La Resolution is one of the best beers available in a prestigious pub in Las Vegas. Perfect in its flavour, sweet and deep. It goes perfectly with the dishes served there. It emphasises the taste of real burgers, seafood, warm snacks.
The upcoming weekend, November 27-28, is a great opportunity to visit Quebec. Especially for people who like to spend their free time in an unconventional way and their passion is sport.

I've been studying electromagnetism, and Maxwell's equations for the past year or so. After working through an entire Calculus textbook to bring my mathematics skills up to the level they needed to be, I started to work problems in vector integral calculus and came across Stokes theorem. Talk about strange! I had absolutely NO IDEA what they were doing.
The textbook related a line integral around the base of a surface with a sort of curl surface integral, and then was kind enough to show a terse proof that there's no way anyone intuitively understood.
Well, for all of you physicists and mathematicians out there who need help understanding this, and all you can find on the internet is a bunch of the same cryptic mathematical garbage that's in the math textbooks, I've decided to post Richard Feynman's discussion on the topic, found in his lectures on physics. He makes it incredibly easy to understand. It's found in the 2nd volume of the set. I scanned it, and here it is.

My Hajj Journey – Part 4
On the bus to Mecca
We finally boarded our bus to Makkah. My eyes were glued to the window, and I wanted to take in everything out there. Soon the freeway took us outside the city of Jeddah. It was a dark, moonless night, and people in the bus started falling asleep. I would nod off for 5 minutes or so and then wake up. I would look outside to see if anything was visible. Besides the lights from other vehicles, I could barely make out the silhouettes of hills all around us. After staring into the darkness for a while I would fall asleep again.
I was very anxious about what would happen in the coming hours, but felt good about one thing: I had made it to Saudi Arabia, and my chances of reaching Makkah looked pretty good now. There was still the possibility that I could die in an accident and not see the Ka'ba with my own eyes. To minimize that possibility I had started eating less than usual a few days before my journey started. That's because according Islamic teaching, a person's provision (including food) in this life is predestined. When a person has consumed all of the provisions alloted to them, their death occurs by whatever means God chooses. I thought, perchance if I'm close to the end of my rope, then if I eat less I might be able to extend my life just enough to achieve my goal. It's too bad that the idea of dying early didn't prevent me from overeating after Hajj.
As we got close to Makkah, the bus passed under a white structure and stopped at a check point. This marked the beginning of the Haram. The Haram is an area around the city of Mecca where only Muslims are allowed to enter. At the checkpoint, police occasionally ask people in cars to recite the "Shahadah" which is an Arabic phrase meaning, "I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship except God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and messenger". Buses are usually waived through since the passengers are obviously Haajis.
A short distance from the checkpoint was a rest area where all buses stopped. This place was run by the Ministry of Hajj. They provided boxed snacks and drinks to everyone. The boxes also contained pamphlets about Hajj. I wasn't too interested in eating, as I mentioned previously, so I started reading one of the pamphlets.
A sentence in the pamphlet caught my attention: "Please avoid other people's nasal and thought secretions". I laughed because I thought some one in the Ministry of Hajj had a clever sense of humor. If you don't avoid other people's nasal secretions, you will get sick, and your Hajj will be ruined. And thinking along the same line, if you don't ignore someones thoughtless words, and start arguing or fighting, your Hajj will be ruined too. Then I realized that the Saudi government doesn't a have a sense of humor. They were probably relying on a spell checker rather than a proof reader. Instead of "thought secretions"they likely meant "throat secretions".
On holy ground
Entering the Haram made us more alert, and excited that Mecca was just around the corner. Most of us had been quietly reciting "labbaik Allahumma laabaik…" (Here I am at your service, O Lord, here I am…) since our flight to Jeddah. But now the recitation grew louder, and we were doing it in unison. We entered the city of Mecca and got off the freeway. Everyone was sitting upright, and looking around for signs of the Sacred Mosque (Masjid-ul-Haraam in Arabic).
As time passed, the labbaik got out of sync, but we kept it up, thinking, we must be very close to the Sacred Mosque. But the bus kept driving. I noticed that some of the street signs and shops seemed familiar, and wondered if we had passed by these places before. The labbaik stopped because our enthusiasm had turned into confusion. It was past midnight, and people were looking at each other – puzzled, but not daring to say anything. We noticed the driver taking a few U-turns, and stopping by the side of the road every now and then. Sometimes we would pass by a road sign indicating the way to the Sacred Mosque, but the driver would just ignore it and go the other way. Many people were getting upset, and one Haaji who spoke Arabic finally asked, "Why don't you just stop and ask for directions if you're lost!". The driver wasn't listening. This whole situation seemed very funny to me. Of all the problems people face on Hajj, I had never imagined this. We had gotten a driver who could not find the Sacred Mosque inside the city of Makkah.
It turned out that the driver was looking for the Mutawwaf's office. I learned later that all Hajj groups are assigned to a person known as a Mutawwaf, who's responsibilities include acting as an immigration officer, arranging for tents and food during the days of Hajj, and helping any Haaji who needs assistance beyond what their travel agent can provide. We had to submit our passports at his office before going to our hotel near the Sacred Mosque.
We left the Mutawwaf's office and headed towards our hotel. The hotel was just a few steps from the Sacred Mosque. As we got close to the mosque, the streets became more crowded. I was surprised to see so many people. It looked like Manhattan or Tokyo during morning rush hour, except this was the middle of the night. Thousands of people were walking to the mosque, or walking back to their hotel rooms. Many people were socializing, shopping, or eating at the small restaurants near the mosque. They came from all over the world for one purpose – to perform pilgrimage in fulfillment of God's command. It reminded me of the following verses from the Qur'an: For, when We assigned unto Abraham the site of this Temple, [We said unto him:] "Do not ascribe divinity to any beside Me!" and: "Purify My Temple for those who will walk around it,and those who will stand before it, and those who will bow down, and prostrate themselves [in prayer]". Hence proclaim thou unto all people the [duty of] pilgrimage: they will come unto thee on foot and on every [kind of] fast mount, coming from every far-away point [on earth]. (Qur'an 22:26-27)
By the time we checked in to our hotel it was around 2 AM. Given the choice between resting for the night, and visiting the Ka'ba right then, we all chose the later. So we put our luggage away and performed ablution (washing one's face, arms, and feet before prayer, just as the early Jews and Christians did*). All of us gathered in the lobby and walked towards the mosque as a group.
* Exodus 40:31-32 and Acts 21:26

HAMMOND, La. (AP) Roosevelt Johnson and Brandon Fortenberry scored 18 points apiece, and Johnson also grabbed 13 rebounds, as Southeastern Louisiana defeated Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 67-53 Saturday night in a Southland Conference game.
The Lions (7-11, 5-3) led by 14 points in the first half and 26-16 at halftime, but the Islanders (2-16, 1-7) rallied to take a 40-36 lead with 9:20 remaining. Johnathan Jordan scored 13 of his 24 points for Texas A&M-CC during that stretch.
Southeastern Louisiana responded with a 19-1 run, which included six points by Johnson and five by Fortenberry, to take command, 55-41 with 3:08 left.
The Lions made just 62.8 percent of their free throws (27 of 43), but they had nearly twice as many opportunities as the Islanders, who made only 50 percent (11 of 22). Johnson made 10 of 17 and Fortenberry 9 of 11 from the line.

Transit authorities require accurate deposit balances
Transit authorities across Australia take in large volumes of coin and cash daily and need to quickly, accurately count and sort coin for nightly deposits. Having a complete solution to handle all of these tasks increases staff efficiency, ensuring the deposit is on time and freeing them up to do other essential tasks.
Streamline fare box processing, balance daily deposits accurately and on time
As an example, Victoria, British Columbia's transit system,BC Transit, uses a JetSort®4000 coin sorter to process mixed coin from cash boxes at a rate of approximately 3,000 mixed coins per minute. This solution allows BC Transit to accurately balance their daily bank deposits; it also helps operations run more smoothly so staff can be more efficient.
"Just by using the foreign coin discrimination feature on the machine, we save more than one hour of processing time per day….all our coin is processed and ready for pick-up in plenty of time!" Debbie, revenue supervisor, BC Transit.
"A good relationship like the one we have with Cummins Allison is something we want to continue – it's hard to find exceptional products and exceptional services." Debbie, revenue supervisor, BC Transit.

Penny Stamps Speaker Series
Nick Tobier
Marvelous Guests
May 16, 2012
Stamps Series at UICA
This special event will take place on Wednesday, May 16th at 7:00pm at the UICA Theater (2 West Fulton, Grand Rapids).
Nick Tobier is a designer and agitator for the creative use of public space. His work is rooted in the social lives of public places. Nick studied landscape architecture at Harvard's Graduate School of Design and subsequently worked as a landscape architect in private practice and with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation/Bronx Division. Through individual and collective work, Tobier's interest in the potential of public places has manifested itself in built public projects and actions in San Francisco, Detroit and New York, internationally from Toronto to Tokyo.
I once saw an elephant walk through midtown Manhattan in the middle of the night. Standing waiting to cross the street, I looked up at the traffic signal, then down at the exit of the Midtown Tunnel where cars generally came careening out. This sighting, for me, provoked a quest for seeking out and concocting events with an air of the unexpected, and the out of place and holds aspirations for me in creating unexpected events. I like to think that my work could be someone else's elephant.
This event is part of a new partnership between UICA and the University of Michigan School of Art & Design's Penny Stamps Speaker Series. Established with the generous support of University of Michigan alumna Penny W. Stamps, this series brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to conduct a public lecture and engage with communities.
Unless otherwise noted, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor, and are free of charge and open to the public.

Rinsing is Not Enough to Clean Your Toothbrush!
Don't eat your old germs! The mouth houses millions of germs that get transferred to your toothbrush each time you brush. They sit on there and cultivate and breed, crawling in and out of the bristles on the brush. No matter how much you rinse your toothbrush, it's not going to get pristine enough to give you a really clean brush next time. Imagine if you had a cut on your gums or a cavity. You absolutely won't want to transfer the germs to your toothbrush and risk getting re-infected.
Sanitize your toothbrush completely after each brush with the SteriBrush™ Cup Style UV Toothbrush Sanitizer. It conveniently stores up to 2 toothbrushes while keeping them completely free of harmful microorganisms. So say goodbye to cross contamination of your mouth from your dirty toothbrush. SteriBrush™ effectively sanitizes your toothbrush to keep you free of germs that lead to diseases and a weakened immune system.
To use the SteriBrush™ Cup Style UV Toothbrush Sanitizer, simply store your toothbrush in it after each use. The UV light in SteriBrush™ will automatically turn on after you insert your toothbrush and will kill germs using the same germicidal UV technology that dental and hospital sterilizing equipment use, which results in better oral hygiene for you and reduced potential health problems.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that even after toothbrushes are rinsed visibly clean, they still contain contaminants, some of which are potentially pathogenic. Scientific studies show that the mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria. Don't let these bugs crawl around on your toothbrush. Zap them away, all of them, including cold and flu virus and other bacteria that cause gingivitis and more. Get the SteriBrush™ Cup Style UV Toothbrush Sanitizer today and stay healthier.
How the Steribrush™ UV Germicidal Toothbrush Sanitizer Works
This compact unit uses state of the art safe UV germicidal technology to kill harmful germs that grow on your toothbrush. After you place your toothbrushes in the Steribrush™ UV Cup Toothbrush Sanitizer, the special 253.7 nm cold cathode UV light will automatically turn on for 3-4 minutes and vent the moisture to the outside. The photons from the UV light have just the right wavelength to effectively kill the bacteria, viruses and mold on your toothbrush by destroying their DNA structure. UV germicidal irradiation is a proven and effective Sanitation technique that is long established in dentist's offices, hospitals, clinics and commercial settings. Microorganisms cannot develop immunity to UV light.

Loved shooting this wedding so much! Two awesome people that I've got to know over the passed year or so, both with their own personalities that just shine! Katy was so full of smiles and surrounded by her girls all giggling and having fun, they rocked! And Robbie and the boys were legends, true to Robbies form, their sense of humour rocked, as well as the boys solid support for their mate shining through. A shout out needs to go to the make up artist Karla Christiansen, Katy looked amazing!
I kicked off getting details and with the girls in Katy's parents house in Tikorangi, then we headed over to Waiau Estate for the ceremony and they partied well into the night there at their reception… Katy in the white Camaro! Love that car… and I absolutely love shoot at Waiau Estate! They had their location photos in the Estate amongst the trees and then headed down to the beach and surrounds to finish off.
An amazing day and I feel totally blessed to be a part of it and to capture their day for them!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Kerr!!

Oxytocin Overview Argentina
Oxytocin is a hormone released in your body in many different social cases. This is called The Love Hormone, since the body releases it at a high level during positive social interactions like experiencing an orgasm, falling in love, breastfeeding and giving birth. The expert found out that the hormone is also secreted in the body during negative social interactions like gloating or jealousy.
Popularly known as cuddle hormone to many, oxytocin is secreted when you bond or snuggle up socially. Research shows that simple interaction with your pet causes a surge of oxytocin.
This chemical is also able to strengthen memories of a relationship gone badly like in situations where a guy has a poor relationship with his girlfriend. Also, it can make individuals less accepting of those seen as outsiders. In short, it doesn't matter if oxytocin makes you feel cuddly or doubtful of others relies on the surroundings.
Oxytocin and Women Explained
For women, oxytocin plays a significant role due to many good reasons. This peptide is secreted in the brain which was first known for its function in labouring and nursing as well, this according to Larry Young, Emory University behavioural neuroscientist based in Atlanta, Georgia.
The hormone leads to the contractions of the uterine during labour, and it helps to contract the uterus after giving birth. When a baby sicks his mother's breast, the stimulation leads to the release of this peptide that, in turn, orders her body to let the milk down for the infant to drink.
This peptide also promotes child and mother bonding. According to the research, a female rate finds pups to be aversive when virgins. According to Larry Young in an interview with Live Science, "once female gives birth, their brain is transformed. Therefore they find the pups irresistible." The same findings are witnessed in human beings.
In the published research in 2007, the Journal Psychological Science discovered that when mother's oxytocin levels are higher in the first trimester of her pregnancy, there is a good chance that she was engaged in bonding activities like bathing her little ones or singing her baby.
Even if maternal rapport might not always be hardwired, in the end, moms can adopt babies and look after them- this peptide released during pregnancy does seem to have a function in drive and feelings of connection to an infant, Young said. Research also reveals that interacting with an infant causes him or her oxytocin levels to boost.
Oxytocin and Men Explained
Oxytocin in men facilitates connections and bonding. Men who got increased on oxytocin level through a nasal spray played more intimately and personally with their five-month-old infants than men who did not get the peptide zap, this is what expert found in the study conducted in 2012. There's another hormone known as vasopressin that plays a powerful role in the male.
Research has discovered that men in relationships given a burst of oxytocin spray stood far away from attractive women compared to men who were not given oxytocin spray. Men who are not in a relationship did not experience any effect from the peptide. This shows that oxytocin functions as a fidelity booster for men who are in a relationship.
The anti-social effect of this love hormone brings fine distinction to the account of oxytocin. In a study, experts have discovered that Dutch learners are snorted. This hormone turns out to be more positive on fictional Dutch characters. However, they become pessimistic about a character with German or Arab names. This shows that the social bonding effect of this hormone targeted at whomever a person distinguishes as part of their group. This finding was posted in the PNAS journal last 2011 of January.
Another researched published in 2010 in PNAS journal, revealed that men given a dose of this hormone and asked to write things about their parents and the result is that men with firm connections explained their parents as caring and loving after the oxytocin dose. On the other hand, men with relationship problems portrayed their parents as less caring. Oxytocin may help with the development of social memories, and this is according to the researchers. Therefore a whiff fortifies previous relationships, and it doesn't matter if it is bad or good.
According to Young, oxytocin makes social information more salient. It links brain areas responsible in the processing of social data- it doesn't matter if are sights, sounds, faces or smell. What is more, it also helps connect those parts to the reward system of the brain.
Oxytocin Sprays and the Harmful Effects
Oxytocin sprays initially appeared in the market around 2006, and they came boasting the perks of being able to have strangers eating out of the palm of your hand. This claim was a bit farfetched and used only as a marketing gimmick, but oxytocin sprays can have positive effects on the user of the spray.
Treat Autism
Oxytocin spray is known to cure autism. This neurological condition is marked by difficulty with social functioning. In a 2013 study wherein expert gave a dose to kids and teenagers with autism and asked them to identify feeling based on pictures of people's eye.
What experts discovered is that subjects were not better at knowing the emotions after the hormone burst; however, the parts of their brains related to social interaction became active. The boost in processing could signify that a dose of oxytocin may help strengthen behavioural therapy for children with autism.
According to Young, if you consider using this hormone to cure autism, ensure you do it in a situation where the social information is positive.
The oxytocin sprays available online without a prescription guarantee stress relief as well as social ease, but they aren't regulated by the FDA or Food and Drug Administration. So, meaning there is some issue in their efficacy and may pose side effects.
There are no strong studies on the harmful effects of the legal oxytocin sprays utilized in hormone research. A lot of studies give individuals only one dose of this hormone. Pitocin, an artificial version of oxytocin administered intravenously to encourage labour, has harmful effects which include nausea, vomiting as well as stomach pain.

Charlotte, Rochester, New York
Coordinates: 43°15′30″N 77°36′31″W / 43.25833°N 77.60861°W
Charlotte (/ʃɑːrˈlɒt/ shar-LOT) is a neighborhood in Rochester in the U.S. state of New York, located along the western bank of the mouth of the Genesee River along Lake Ontario. It is the home of the Port of Rochester and Charlotte High School.
Early Settlers[edit]
In 1788, the Mill Yard Tract, a parcel of land approximately 12 miles (19 km) wide and 24 miles (39 km) long, along bank of the Genesee River stretching from present day locations of Charlotte at Lake Ontario through the City of Rochester was purchased from the Seneca Indians by Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham.[1] [2] During this time, the area between the river and Braddock Bay was still used as hunting grounds by the Seneca Indians. The first hut on the shores of Lake Ontario on the west side of the Genesee River was constructed in 1791 by William Hincher and his son who settled the land the next season with his wife and seven daughters. [3][4] These early settlements preceded the later permanent settlements at the village of Rochester. [5] In 1792 the Pulteney Association purchased rights to much of Phelps and Gorham's land in New York. Colonel Robert Troup, an agent of the Pulteney Association, arranged the first layout of the town, dividing the land into 1-acre (4,000 m2) lots. He named the area "Charlottesburgh" in honor of his daughter. [4][6]
Lake Trade[edit]
The community once served as a port for international trade. Samuel Latta established a warehouse at the mouth of the Genesee river and in 1806 was appointed as customs collector of the Port of Genesee by President Thomas Jefferson.[1] Samuel Latta's brother, frontier merchant George Clinton Latta (1795–1871) ran a successful trading company from Charlotte, operating a fleet of schooners engaging in trade across the Great Lakes.
Trade was interrupted during the War of 1812 and a less exposed port was briefly established three miles upstream at Carthage Landing. [7] During the course of the war, British forces were encountered at Charlotte on several occasions. In June 1813, the British fleet under Sir James Yeo landed at Charlotte and confiscated supplies of grain, flour, pork and other stores which the residents surrendered without further incident.[8] In September of that year, the British fleet was again spotted off shore, but was engaged and driven off by the American fleet of Commodore Isaac Chauncey. Finally, in May 1814, the British attempted another landing, however, this time the citizens who had become aware of the British and Indian massacre at Lewiston, NY and the recent attack at Oswego, NY, dispatched the local militia to refuse landing. After a brief exchange of cannon fire, the fleet departed.[9][10][11] In 1816, Colonel Caleb Hopkins was commissioned as brigadier general for gallant service during the war, including defending the Port of Charlotte against the British.
After the end of the war, trade began to rapidly increase. Some early settlers believed that Charlotte would become the major city along the Genesee River, until the use of the water falls to provide power to the mills and the arrival of the Erie Canal in 1823 later resulted in the dominance of the settlements at the City of Rochester.[5]
In order to improve navigation, a stone light house was constructed in 1821 on the west bank,[1] replaced later in 1880 by an Octagonal light on the west pier.[7]
On August 25, 1852 ground was broken on the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad (later part of the New York Central Railroad[12]) which made its first run on May 12, 1853 in about thirty minutes. The railroad provided a convenient route for Canadian passages to reach New York City.[1]
However, lake trade from Charlotte began to decline from increased competition from the Erie Canal and the railroad lines in Rochester.[1][7]
Resort Era[edit]
After the Civil War, Charlotte rebounded as a summer resort with the arrival of several excursion steamers and with organization of the Genesee Yacht Club in 1874. The Ontario Car Ferry company began operating a ferry service for passengers and cargo from the port in November 1907 with the launch of the "Ontario I" later joined by the "Ontario II" as well as the "Toronto" and the "Kingston". These large ferries prompted a need to deepen the channel and make harbour improvements.[7]
In 1884, the Ontario Beach Improvement Company was formed to establish lake front resort area and by 1889 electric trolleys were connecting vacationers to the City of Rochester.[5]
Charlotte was annexed by the city of Rochester in 1916 in an effort by the city to gain control over the port and increase its population, thereby raising its political importance and funding.[5] The port's activity again declined during the Great Depression. Ferry traffic eventual came to an end around 1949.[7]
Another attempt to establish ferry traffic between Rochester and Toronto was made with the launch of a fast ferry the Spirit of Ontario I which ran from 2004–2005. The fast ferry again spurred a round of investment in Charlotte and the port.

Kingdom Hearts III has been officially announced for the PlayStation 4 at this year's E3 2013.
Sorry we're late with this; so many people were accessing the site, it went down just after the big reveal! This was a HUGE surprise. The staff here at Nova Crystallis was expecting a reveal for the 2.5 ReMIX, so this went beyond our wildest dreams.
The trailer began with Sora on the Destiny Islands. He picks up what looks like Eraqus' Keyblade and suddenly finds himself in Twilight Town, fighting a horde of Heartless swarming together in the air. The art style is reminiscent of previous KH games, but it contains the refinement found in the Versus XIII (or rather, Final Fantasy XV) trailer.
Kingdom Hearts III has been expected for over seven years now, and we're so happy to finally see it in the works. More information and media will be posted as it is made available.
Update: We've got a little gallery of LQ screenshots going. I'll bring you the better ones as soon as I can.

Apology to Adelaide

Fate has not been helpful to Ivory Coast at World Cups. In 2006, as the so-called golden generation first emerged, they were drawn in an impossible group with Argentina, Holland and Serbia-Montenegro, lost their first two games and were out almost before they had begun. Four years later, they lost to Brazil, drew with Portugal and, although they beat North Korea, went out as Brazil and Portugal played out a goalless draw.
The tournament has been rather kinder on this occasion but the truth is that time has probably been called in the last-chance saloon, and the Ivorians are outside on the pavement wondering if there is anywhere else still open.
From Hungary's Aranycsapat onwards, being dubbed a golden generation seems a sure-fire way of winning nothing. Ivory Coast in the past 10 years have had a collection of players unprecedented in their history: the 1992 squad who won the Africa Cup of Nations may have been the better team but they did not have so many individuals of such high class – Didier Drogba, the Touré brothers, Didier Zokora, Salomon Kalou, Emmanuel Eboué, Cheik Tioté, Gervinho. This is a side that should have won trophies but looks like ending up bereft.
The squad is ageing. Drogba is 36 and is extremely unlikely to be able to complete three games in a week and a half. Zokora, once such a busy midfielder, has lost his pace and is now a central defender. Kolo Touré, who is suffering from malaria, seems never quite to have recovered from the chasing he was given by Egypt's Amr Zaki in the semi-final of the Cup of Nations in 2008, a game for which he probably returned too quickly from a groin injury. Yaya Touré, an increasingly vital player for Ivory Coast, has still not taken a full part in training and may not be able to start his side's first game, against Japan on Saturday. Tioté's form has dipped over the past couple of years.
Strengths are waning and the weaknesses haven't been resolved, with the possible exception of right-back, where the 21-year-old Serge Aurier of Toulouse has emerged as a defender of huge potential. In goal Boubacar Barry remains the liability he has been for a decade, while there is still the issue of creativity. Yaya Touré provides it to an extent in his languid way but he is more effective with quicker forwards – which is why Wilfried Bony could end up being so valuable at the World Cup, even if he is essentially Drogba's reserve.
When Gervinho first impressed at Lille, he seemed exactly the player Ivory Coast had been lacking but his confidence remains desperately fragile. That was never more painfully displayed than in the penalty shootout at the end of the 2012 Cup of Nations final when he refused to take Ivory Coast's eighth penalty – which ended up being missed by Kolo Touré – and then reluctantly took the ninth, resulting in a wholly predictable failure as Zambia took the title. When he opened the scoring against Tunisia in the 2013 Cup of Nations, the exuberance of the celebrations was almost patronising: there was a clear sense of Gervinho's team-mates trying to make him feel positive. He played well in that game – and had scored the late winner against Togo in the first match –but by the quarter-final his self-belief was gone.
It is that game, a 2-1 defeat by Nigeria, that is the real cause of concern for Ivory Coast. Of all their failures in recent Cups of Nations, that was the worst. In 2006 they lost in the final on penalties against the hosts, Egypt. In 2012 they lost on penalties to Zambia. In 2008 they lost in the semis to a very good Egypt. In 2010 they took the lead with a minute of the quarter-final against Algeria to go, then forgot to defend a cross and conceded an injury-time equaliser, before doing the same again two minutes into extra-time to lose 3-2: that was probably their best chance but after two years unbeaten Vahid Halilhodzic (now manager of Algeria) was sacked as coach for, as he put it, "two minutes of madness".
For once Ivory Coast have shown patience – Sabri Lamouchi is the first Ivory Coast coach in over a decade to keep his job after failing to win the Cup of Nations and yet he is the one with fewest excuses. In that quarter-final in Rustenburg last year he was comprehensively out-thought by the Nigeria coach, Stephen Keshi, unable to respond as the Nigeria full-backs, Efe Ambrose and Elderson Echiejile, rampaged past his wide forwards, Gervinho and Kalou. Although Nigeria won only 2-1, it was a comprehensive defeat for Ivory Coast, one that made them look sluggish and disorganised.
World Cup qualification was achieved easily enough – thanks to a relatively straightforward draw – but they have not impressed in recent friendlies. Although Ivory Coast drew 2-2 in Belgium in March, they were outplayed for long periods before scoring two late goals as a blizzard of substitutions undermined the structure of the match. Then they were well beaten 2-1 by Bosnia in a performance of astonishing sloppiness in which space opened up again and again in front of the back four. A friendly against El Salvador last Tuesday provided rather more hope with something closer to a probable first-choice team (without Yaya Touré). Drogba set up Gervinho for the first and Gervinho set up Drogba for the second in a 2-1 win.
Still, it was hardly a crushing endorsement. Pre-tournament friendlies are notoriously unreliable guides to form but the pattern of the past two years has not been good. This is an ageing squad and Lamouchi has done little to suggest he can re-energise it.

INTRODUCTION - Dealing with questions angry customers ask can be difficult. Not knowing exactly what to say or how to handle the situation effectively is a common fear.
You're at work, you're having your coffee, some casual conversation with co-workers - it's a good day. Then suddenly, there he is - the angry customer!
How you decide to handle this situation can truly be a career-altering decision if you don't get it right.
Is this customer going to leave angrier and more frustrated, then complain to your boss and tell every person that he knows how incompetent you are? Or, will you be prepared to effectively handle the questions angry customers ask?
Will this angry customer leave your office feeling appreciated and understood? Is he so impressed with your professionalism and ability to resolve the issue quickly that he sings your praises to his family, friends and throughout the community?
The answer for you will be determined based on your understanding and personal commitment to delivering quality Customer Service - at every opportunity. This includes having the skill-set to properly respond to the questions angry customers ask.
The following three-part series will help guide you through those difficult situations where your customer service abilities, and your patience, will be tested.
The common theme of this series is how you can most effectively respond questions that angry customers ask:
"How could this have possibly happened?"
"What is going on here?"
"Do you know what I've been through?"
"What am I supposed to do now?"
"What are you going to do about it?"
The irate customer may be shouting; some will be using offensive language; all will be incredibly frustrated.
An important point to remember at that critical moment is that the customer is not actually angry with you personally. It may really seem like they are - but they're not.
The customer is experiencing many emotions. He/she feels disrespected because he perceives that no one is listening to him. He feels insecure, as if no one cares about his personal experience. He feels as if he has no control - this adds further to his frustration.
The customer's anger is the result of all these other negative emotions. Keep in mind also that the customer may be dealing with many other difficult situations in his life, not directly related to the situation at hand - and that may be adding fuel to the fire.
Questions angry customers may throw at you may be inspired by events totally unrelated to what they appear upset about. They may be upset with their spouse, employer or whomever - and what happened with your organization was the straw the broke the camel's back.
DO NOT argue with the customer. It will accomplish absolutely nothing. The customer is feeling injured and the pain inflicted is incredibly real to his. Any argument from you will just cement those feelings and he now has a name to attach to the drama.
Look back at our examples of the questions angry customers ask. Realize that these are the questions that you must have answers to.
Your ability to be an empathetic listener, allowing the customer to vent his frustrations without getting into an argument with him - will be time well spent.
Take good notes during his tirade to show your interest. More on the subject of listening is provided in Part II of our series.
Your focus on connecting with the client and working to resolve the issue will give you the best chance of ultimately winning him over.
By following some very simple steps, you can consistently deliver excellent customer service. In addition, you will begin to experience the personal satisfaction and accolades that come from being one of the best at what you do!
Questions angry customers ask can be scary if you are not well prepared in advance. By anticipating these questions beforehand and effectively preparing yourself, your fears will be greatly diminished. See you in Part II.

Improving and increasing accommodation
Framework inherited dilapidated, overcrowded accommodation which dealt with the immediate and potentially life-threatening crisis of rough sleeping but did little to address the causes of homelessness or provide the platform for rebuilding lives.
The new organisation was committed to developing better quality accommodation which promoted personal dignity and met the rising aspirations of services users.
When Macedon and NHHA merged in 2001 there were two nightshelters in Nottingham – the Albion and Canal Street – both in urgent need of renewal. There was no emergency provision in the county. Ten years on Framework has provided high quality, emergency accommodation for homeless people in Nottingham and for people from every borough and district of Nottinghamshire. This has been planned in collaboration with many partners and delivered with the support of several high quality design and construction specialists.
The old Albion Night Shelter, Nottingham
The New Albion accommodation pictured in 2011
This emergency provision is supported by good quality move-on housing where people can learn to live independently, freeing up emergency accommodation for people in greatest need.
Framework has also invested heavily to create and improve specialist accommodation for young people, teenage parents, women, older people and people with enduring mental health problems and severe learning disabilities.
Framework's total bedspaces increased from 356 in July 2001 to 709 in March 2011. To achieve this Framework attracted over £15m investment from the Housing Corporation (Homes and Communities Agency since 2008), matching this with capital support from its own reserves and from sources including the CLG's Places of Change Programme, the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, ERDF and Nottingham's New Deal as well as trusts, foundations and individuals – both in the form of specific donations and legacies.
Setting a benchmark
The project to develop the London Road hostel, begun by NHHA in 1997 and completed in 2001, refurbished and extended the Canal Street building and set a benchmark for future developments. It provides 57 self-contained bed spaces, grouped in clusters for different client groups, including six bedsits for people able to live more independently. There are central catering, dining and laundry facilities; a nurse's room and a counselling room for resettlement work, mental health support, drug and alcohol teams. A training area provided facilities for literacy, numeracy and IT as well as life, social and employment skills training.
The nightshelter was open from 6.30pm to 9.30am. The London Road accommodation provides 24 hour support and a chance to move away from negative street-based lifestyles.
The challenges of the London Road project recurred with each subsequent development – weaving together a complex capital funding package from several sources each with their own priorities and timescales; gaining strategic support to ensure revenue funding; satisfying the legal, regulatory and political conditions necessary to obtain planning consent; and addressing neighbourhood concerns. Only a housing association with charitable objectives to tackle homelessness would accept the effort and risks involved.
Strategic contribution
Putting a roof over someone's head is a means to an end: it provides the stability to address the underlying causes of homelessness and to equip people with the social, emotional and practical skills for independent sustainable living – enabling people to contribute to society rather than being dependent on it.
Framework's Annual Report for 2003/04 said: "Strategies on homelessness, drugs, alcohol and mental health will fail unless they acknowledge the need for vulnerable people to have good quality housing".
Framework has contributed to the implementation of those strategies in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire by providing a network of accommodation which provides a pathway to resettlement and helps break the cycle of homelessness.

As I reflect on the many blessings I have received during 2013, one immediately comes to mind. This year I started working for Second Harvest Food Bank as the Life Skills Education Manager for the Culinary Training Program. I can truly say that I feel blessed to be able to work with students who are going through hard times and are in need of a second chance. As the Life Skills Education Manager, I have a front row seat to see lives being transformed.
Last week my husband and I went to the Marriott Falls Bar and Grill, and to my delight, one of the first culinary training program graduates, Garfield Lettman, was working that day. As soon as Garfield learned that I was in the restaurant, he came out to greet me. When I saw him in his chef uniform, my heart skipped a beat. I felt like a proud mother who had just seen her son come back from war. Words cannot describe how excited and proud I was to see Garfield.
During Garfield's initial interview for the Culinary Training Program, what first caught my eye was his cheerful attitude and bright smile. He told me about his love and passion for food, and his dream of owning an exclusive restaurant – where all the items on the menu were his own creation. Garfield moved to Orlando from Jamaica in 2011 with the hope of creating a better future for his wife and daughters. However, with little education and lack of experience, he was not able to find employment. When Garfield heard about the Second Harvest's Culinary Training Program, he quickly submitted his application, and was later accepted. While in the program, Garfield impressed both the Executive Chef and Chef Instructor with his delicious sweet potato soup and Jamaican dishes.
Upon graduation, Garfield received not one, but multiple job offers! With his positive, happy and willing attitude, I knew Garfield would succeed in whatever place he worked. Garfield is well on the way to fulfilling his dream, and I feel blessed in knowing that the Culinary Training Program played a part in his journey.

Micro-sprinkler irrigation is an efficient and alternative method of irrigation for high value cash crops. It has been demonstrated in the Jhikhu Khola watershed (JKW) in Nepals middle mountains by the People and Resource Dynamics in Mountain Watersheds of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas Project (PARDYP). The NGO International Development Enterprises (IDE-Nepal) has assisted private companies to assemble and market micro-irrigation systems.
Micro sprinklers are available in a variety of configurations. They operate at a lowpressure, with water delivered at a pressure equivalent to 10-20m of head, and at a low discharge rate of 0.1-0.2 lps equivalent to the average discharge of a 1/2 inch size public tap. A pre-assembled micro-irrigation system generally consists of 4 to 8 sprinkler heads at 4m intervals connected by half inch piping. Micro sprinklers are most suitable for closely cropped vegetables like onion and garlic.

Lower Kingswood is a small village located in Surrey, just within the M25 motorway. It is between Kingswood and Reigate, and is bisected by the A217 dual carriageway. Neighbouring settlements include Tadworth and Chipstead.
The village was situated around the Brighton Road (now the A217) and the crossroads with Buckland Road/Smithy Lane, the centre being where the Fox On The Hill pub and the Church of the Wisdom of God are located. Before the upgrading of the A217 Brighton Road to a dual carriageway, there was a pondoutside the pub, where horses would frequently stop to refresh after climbing the hill and before progressing on to Reigate.
The whole town of Lower Kingswood used to be called Cheesley Town, and to this day, you can find it in very old maps.
The majority of travel is made by private car, and the nearest train stations are Tadworth, Kingswood andReigate. Buses travel along the A217, north to Epsom and Sutton and south to Reigate and Redhill. It is situated very close to Junction 8 of the M25.
There are several social clubs in Lower Kingswood, catering for all ages, youth clubs such as drama and football. For the older generations there is a bowls club and Women's Institute. The football club is named Kingswood Terriers FC and they have a prestigious history in the local Epsom and Ewell Youth League, they won the League Cup 2011 and won 4-3 in the final.
There is a recreation ground opposite Rookery Way, which includes a play park, bike ramps and football pitches. Other youth clubs are Guides, Cubs, Beavers and Scouts.
The Kingswood Village Club (Lower Kingswood) has been voted CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) branch club of the year for four years running - 2011 to 2014.
