A few days back, the Tourism Authority of Thailand organised a mega FAM for Indian journalists, bloggers and travels agents. Over 100 media and travel companies represented, the focus was clearly on discovering the "unexplored side of Thailand" even in well-known places such as Bangkok and Pattaya.
India Outbound Magazine was part of the crew and after a 6-day trip from Bangkok to Pattaya, passing through Rayong, we have to agree that there is much more to explore than the "entertainment" tag for which Thailand is famous around the world.
First of all, Thailand is without a doubt and most certainly one of the best "value for money" outbound destinations for Indians. The hotels and food prices are almost similar to the ones in India, sometimes even cheaper! And for an Indian (as compared to neighboring Nepal, Bhutan or Bangladesh), when you are in Thailand, you really feel that you have arrived in a foreign country. Here is a list of tips for families planning a holiday in Thailand, but also for all those looking for something else than nightclubs, bars and "party all night".
Museums : Not the historical, or "boring" for some, where you literally have to drag your kids to. Visit Art in Paradise in Bangkok, the first "illusional" and three-dimensional museum in the city. Just lose yourself in the different decor. It's as cool as acting in an animated movie and you'll definitely get some cool pictures to share with your friends on the social media. Another option in the Rayong district (on the way to Pattaya) is the Kru Kung Museum, where an entire house own by a former art teacher has been turned into a village. It displays many objects, artefacts and art pieces that have been collected by the 60-year-old man since he was 18. Why is it great for the kids? It's just like home. It has got many objects to attract them, like a real treasure trove. At a time where the digital world rules and the use of mobile phones starts at the ripe age of two years, it is worth the effort when you see the expressions on their faces when 'discovering' the older fixed line telephones, the earliest mobiles and the good-old typewriter.
A Family Beach: Thailand has some of the best beaches in the world, but often they are milling with tourists from around the world, so if you are looking for a quiet place to go with the family and especially if you are accompanied by your parents, head to Rayong. It is known to be the place "where the locals go on holiday". And indeed the beach is clean and pristine. We stayed at a five star beach property, the Marriot Resort & Spa. The prices here are quite competitive and the service top! The hotel has a private beach and two pools. The places is quite offbeat and you really get a tranquil stay. It's also quite famous for Indian destination wedding as Suyash Kumar, the Food and Beverage Manager of the hotel tells us, "We had about 15 back to back Indian weddings during the season." The location is indeed idyllic, and as far as the activities are concerned, you can go on a boat ride, put on some good music and take a picnic with you. Dont miss the turtle island, where Marriott notably participates in conservation activities.
Water Parks & Aquarium: If you are not too much of a sea person, or if you want to have a lot more of activities, especially with the kids, go on an outing at one the water park situated about 30 minutes' drive from Pattaya. The Cartoon Network Amazone and the Ramayana Water Park are amongst the best. "We have some rides for the kids, some for the adults, there is something for everyone, you can even surf or learn surfing here or simply enjoy a cartoon while relaxing in the giant pool. "We have tried to structure the park and its attractions in a way for families to keep an eye on their kids while relaxing," says Ashif Dhanji, an Indian-origin Canadian who has invested in Thailand and is the Chief Operating Officer of Cartoon Network Amazone. Spend the full day there, it's fun and refreshing. One thing many of us like to do is observing the marine life and aquariums are the best way to educate your kids about this unseen world. Sea Life in Bangkok or the Underwater World in Pattaya have a great collection of sea species including crustaceans, fish, baby sharks, jelly fish, turtles etc.
Evening outings: In the capital Bangkok, we stayed at the Montien Riverside Hotel, a huge resort situated a bit out of the main city but close to many attractions and especially to the Asiatique Riverfront, a park in itself where one can shop, eat and even go for a massage. We did not go for the fish pedicure, but a traditional foot, shoulder, head massage does relieve you from a long day spent walking in the humid temperatures. Open from 17:00, take a tour on the giant wheel for the best night view of Bangkok. In Pattaya, you can go and watch the Kaan show, a great performance by the talented actors and dancers, it's full of magic, special effects and adventure. Adjacent to the D'Luck theatre is a nice restaurant "The Greyhound", try the fusion cuisine and especially the continental cuisine and the dessert. The restaurant, as compared to other placed in the city, has a great choices of vegetarian food as well and all vegetarian options are properly indicated in the menu!
Shopping: For Indians, there is no vacation without shopping, we all have to go back home with gifts for mom, dad, uncles, aunties, friends and colleagues or face the risk of disappointing them. There is, of course, plenty of shopping anywhere and everywhere in Thailand. In Pattaya, we stayed at the Avani Pattaya Resort & Spa, a centrally located resort, that allows you to just walk down to one of the most famous markets in the city, "the Pattaya Night Bazaar". Don't get there too late as it closes around 11:30 pm. Adjacent to the market is a mall with all the international brands. In the Night Bazaar, you'll get all kinds of stuff, from souvenirs like fridge magnets and bags, to clothing (beware, often the sizes are not always right ones and you better try before buying!). For the famous flavored soaps, we would recommend buying them at the mall, they would be natural and authentic, the ones in the market are cheaper but artificial. The same goes with the oils and other aromatic products. In Bangkok, besides the famous open markets like Chatuchak and Pratunam, you might consider the "market-malls" such as Indra Square, MBK and Platinum. First and most importantly there is air-conditioning and secondly the options are almost the same as those in the open market.

So, after the witches, vampires, lust and sex in the church, the second half of my holiday really didn't quite match up. In fact, one might almost say that it was a bit of an anti-climax.
I went out for dinner with some friends and drank wine which I don't often do these days because I either have the car or am working the next day. Who'd have thought in my youth that it would come to this? Not many of my friends, that's for sure.
Struggled a bit with The Book of Human Skin because I think it is trying to be Perfume but not terribly well. I'm told it gets better so will persevere but the different fonts for each character are annoying me too. Then I re-read The Redbird Christmas for our book group today and that took an afternoon as it is deliciously short (and schmaltzy).
On Friday I went to see War Horse at the flicks. Blimey, but it was loud. And long. I'd read the book when I was in my 'reading children's books' phase last year and loved it. And one of these days I'd dearly love to go to the theatre to see it done there. The film was good, but very Disney. To begin with it almost looked like it was set in Brigadoon and by the red sunset at the end I almost expected Derby O'Gill or a leprauchan to pop up too. But it was a beautiful film and great story. Still not exactly sure why it was so long because the book is pretty short, but I suppose it was padded out with dialogue. There was some sniffing and hankies being produced by the end from those next to me but I'm afraid I remained dry-eyed.
On Sunday I awoke early having had a most horrible nightmare. It was all about the pew sheet being wrong for Mother Ann who is covering for me and then having to write it out by hand, and nobody had found the correct page in the Lectionary, and so on. It was in fact all about me not being in control and it all falling to pieces. Oh dear. But as I was up so early I went back to my old haunt in Linlithgow for church because their service begins at 9.30am. It was so lovely to be pew fodder and Mother Marian is looking after them in the vacancy so nice to catch up with her too. In fact, as the eccentrics started playing up it was almost as if I'd never been away! (By the way, you may be thinking that it is not good form for a priest to revisit an old charge, but I did ask permission and I am covering for a few of their weekday services. However, it is still a difficult issue.)
So that's my post-Christmas done and dusted. I do feel rested and refreshed. Only one funeral awaits me and a pile of mail and emails. But it is good to be back. Another week and I'd have gone mad.

Corvette drivers positive for Sebring despite Daytona deficit
Corvette Racing's aces are hopeful that data, experience and strategy can lead to a fourth consecutive Sebring 12 Hours victory this weekend despite their performance shortfall in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Eleven of Corvette Racing's 98 race victories have come at Sebring International Raceway, and it has clinched the last three in a row, thanks to Jan Magnussen, Antonio Garcia and Ryan Briscoe, then Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and Marcel Fassler, and then Magnussen, Garcia and Mike Rockenfeller last year.
However, Garcia has observed that the Corvette C7.R's speed deficit at Daytona suggests the team's fortune at may be reliant on its other qualities.
He said: "Winning at Sebring last year was a big reason we won the GTLM championship. Everything came together late in the race - our performance, strategy and execution. That carried over for the rest of the year.
"We did it again at Daytona this season and ran a perfect race but had no chance at a victory. So we know how difficult it will be to win Sebring again. What we may lack in performance we make up in experience at data at Sebring. I hope that gives us an edge."
Added the #3 Corvette's 'third man' Rockenfeller: "Last year's race showed how unpredictable Sebring can be. Corvette Racing did another fantastic job with the strategy and our race plan to put us in the best position to win.
"We did the same at Daytona and ran a perfect race [this year], but ultimately that wasn't enough. Hopefully we can do it again at Sebring."
Milner said the February test at Sebring had taken the program forward since the Rolex 24.
"After Daytona, I think we can feel good about where we are. Both cars had excellent runs with no mistakes. We also had a good test last month at Sebring to fine-tune some items we need to improve on.
"Given that and our extensive notebook of data plus our history at Sebring, we can feel confident going into this race."
Doug Fehan, Corvette Racing's program manager observed of Sebring's challenges: "It has a little bit of everything – long straights, really fast corners, a crushingly slow hairpin, hard braking zones, bumps and even potholes, sometimes.
"With that said, I don't think there are many places where we have more fun competing, mainly because anything can happen… and most of the time it does.
"Rest assured, we have done our usual great job of preparing our Corvette C7.Rs and will squeeze out every bit of performance that we can."

"I tried to surprise everyone"
Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert, 4th June, 1st stage – "I saw the "flame rouge" and so I tried to surprise the bunch – comments Vincenzo Nibali – but they did not let me go. It has been a fairly quiet day, for the decisive stages we will have to wait on Wednesday with TTT ".
"Here in France – says Franco Pellizotti – we must always be open-eyed. Attention must be paid to narrow roads and on these undulating routes there is always a certain stress inside the peloton. There were a couple of falls and the one with only 7km to go broke the group and decided today race".
In fact, the South African champ Daryl Impey won the first stage preceding a group of about 60 riders. The Polish Michal Kwiatkowski is still the race leader with few seconds on the opponents.
"When in the finale they felt – says Heinrich Haussler – unfortunately I was in the second part of the group and therefore I could not make the sprint. Tomorrow, the stage is similar and I hope to be there in the front lo look for victory "
The second stage will bring the peloton from Montbrison to Belleville after 181km. The first part of the stage does not offer particular difficulties, while in the second there are several climbs but non long -4/5 km – with a maximum gradient of 6%. Space for the attackers or a bunch sprint?

With the Logaster platform and the tips below, you can create an effective café logo in a matter of minutes.
1. How to choose an icon
Choose from the items closely related to your business:
- tableware (cup, teapot, spoon, samovar);
- cooking utensils and chef's accessories (pastry bag, spatula, chef's hat);
- sweets and other food images (cake, cupcakes, chocolate bar, coffee).
To pick the right icon for your café logo in Logaster, select the "Hotels, restaurants" category.
If you've made up your mind, use keywords to specify your search request. Both Russian and English keywords will do perfectly.

3. Which font is the best
For detailed guidelines, read our article, "How to Choose a Font for Your Logo". Here we will focus only on the key criteria:
- Legibility. Your text must be easy to read across logos of different sizes;
- No minor elements. Avoid multiple scrolls and serifs in hand-written fonts, as they make text on small-size logos unreadable;
- Font-icon combination. Pair bulky fonts with massive icons.

Smart font choices for your café logo: СP Font, Cuprum, Oranienbaum, Croissant One, Andantino Script, Dita Sweet, Comfortaa.
4. Useful recommendations
Use one font, two tops. One font is your best choice. Two fonts are acceptable only if text dominates your logo.
Do not clutter your logo. A recognizable icon and a legible café name (or short motto) are the only things your logo really needs.
Do not overdo it with colors. Even if you're creating a bright logo for your art café, avoid using more than 4 colors.
Leave enough free space on the edges.
Be sure to save your logo in vector format.
Making a smart café logo is not rocket science. You just need to follow some simple recommendations. In our gallery, you can have insight into our café logo collection.
Take a few minutes to create your one-of-a-kind logo now.

With consumer spending finally seeing a comeback post-recession; there seems to be an equal rebound in marketing spending. The global advertising market is expected to grow by 6% in 2014. However this does not mean that all forms of advertising is expected to grow. In fact it is projected that TV Ad Revenues will drop around 3% – in part due to a lack of political elections or the Olympics. Despite being an off year for TV Advertising, for some reason this is still the most prestigious advertising platform.
Even though the advertising landscape is changing and adapting to new technologies, it is definitely lagging behind the times: mobile is just beginning to make a dent in the advertising world. With more and more Millennials coming of age, this will heavily affect the way companies interact with their customers. The trend has already been pushing towards a tailored shopping experience, where customers expect promotions, a social media presence and brand recognition.
As smartphones become more of a necessity rather than an accessory in everyday life, many top brands are beginning to notice mobile in the marketing landscape. Although digital advertising has become an important part of the conversation amongst marketer, mobile is the next frontier. The tech-community has experienced exponential advancements in mobile capabilities within the past year; however, this technology hasn't caught on with most industries yet.

The idea of leveraging mobile and social media to engage with consumers is still in its infancy. We are at the start of a new movement, one that meets consumers where they are – regardless of where you are.
To help brands better understand this new frontier, and how it plays into a multichannel strategy, SDL surveyed 4,000 consumers in the US, UK, Singapore, and Australia, to learn about their expectations using mobile devices and social media to engage with brands.
Download the survey results now >
Here are just some of the facts you'll discover inside:
- Consumers want brands to offer a consistent experience
- 69 per cent of those surveyed expected in-store and online prices to be the same
- 77 per cent of those surveyed admitted to "showrooming" when shopping in-store
- UK customers complain more about poor service on social media than US, Singapore or Australian customers.

Happy Hump Day, Friends! I don't know about you all but I seriously need to pause time for a while because I am so not ready for Black Friday week. I swear I thought we had one more week before Thanksgiving, but nope, it's only nine days away. Eek! Don't get me wrong, I am super excited for next week. I have so much new content to share, TONS of try-on sessions, and so many sales to share I don't even know where to start. So get ready for a fun-filled week!
But for today, another gift guide... THE LITTLE LUXURIES GIFT GUIDE.
I know that it's not every day, well for most of us, that we can splurge on little luxuries. But the holidays are a great time to reward yourself or to ask for a little something extra, am I right?! J and I never buy each other expensive gifts and neither of our love languages is receiving gifts... BUT this year we decided to get each other something more luxurious. J's been talking about Gucci sneakers since Spring and I've had my eye on a new David Yurman bracelet (insert emoji with heart eyes).
So I thought I would share some things on my own personal wish list, in addition to some items I already own like the YSL Mon Paris perfume (SO GOOD!), the Gucci Card Case, Roberto Coin Initial Necklace (I get questions every time I wear it), Barefoot Dreams Blanket (finally back in stock!), Kyi Kyi Pom Beanie (yes, it's worth it), and dare I say, Stuart Weitzman Hiline OTK Boots. Y'all they are currently on sale 30% off and that's the cheapest I've ever seen them! They are truly the best by far in quality and fit.
I've been eyeing the Gucci Marmont Small Matellase Shoulder Bag for quite some time now but have never been in a position to take the plunge. I absolutely love the detailing and black color because it's the least likely to get dirty. I'm planning to see how the end of the year goes and then just might treat myself. True story, I haven't taken an "actual" vacation since college and rarely buy anything high-end for myself that doesn't have a blog benefit or outfit plan behind it. So I think it may be time!
I've also included some beauty items like Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream I just started using, and the Dyson Blow Dryer I've heard rave reviews about. I've heard it knocks SO much time off hair drying! Additionally, my favorite high-end lipstick formula, Tom Ford, and the T3 Curling Wand Trio I've been eyeing now for months. I love how sleek the design is and everyone I know loves it!
Happy Shopping and don't forget to check out the other gift guides:
You can also find all of my holiday content from this year so far and last, by going to the HOLIDAY SHOP! And underneath, you'll find a drop-down with hundreds of additional gift ideas.

"What innovation (action or solution) on your HBCU campus will make the biggest difference in stronger advancement or fundraising results"The best responses would be shared with all attendees during the "town meeting" that was held on Wednesday morning.
The attendees seated at my table came up with some very plausible suggestions, but I was uncomfortable with the question as it was phrased because it encouraged respondents to think of ways to obtain additional funds first, then produce results with the funds later.
By contrast, entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley in California to Silicon Alley in the Big Apple work long hours to produce results using the resources they already have, results which they present to potential investors in order to persuade them to give the entrepreneurs more money to produce more impressive results that will attract even more money from more investors, etc., etc., etc. My own experience in obtaining large R&D contracts from government agencies confirmed the advantages of taking a good idea as far as one could with one's own resources, then getting officials at government agencies to share in the excitement of one's current achievements and the potential for even greater achievements with help from the funds their agencies might contribute.
The Great Recession and the sudden emergence of the first round of eLearning technologies that are powerful enough to disrupt our entire system of higher education have transformed the post Civil Rights existential mantra "Why are HBCUs still needed?" into a universal challenge to the continuing existence of all but the wealthiest and most elite colleges and universities, including those in the for-profit sector. Therefore I would rephrase the question posed by the WHI-HBCUs so as to encourage the development of proposals that will excite the most interest from funding sources in the new context of this universal challenge:
- What is your HBCU doing with resources that have been greatly diminished by the Great Recession to cope with the disruptive technologies that are now sweeping across the landscape of higher education? ... and ...
- How can our additional resources help your HBCU to achieve more impressive results?
In a first effort to identify which HBCUs are taking the lead in addressing the challenges posed by current eLearning technologies, yesterday morning (Wednesday) I posted the five tweets displayed at the bottom of this note. As of this morning (Thursday), I have received no responses ... so perhaps I need to revise my tweets and try again. Past experience assures me that whenever a significnt challenge to HBCUs is identified, someone at some HBCU will figure out how to cope with it effectively ... :-)

Brick Dust is a deep brick red mica colorant with burgundy tones. It is a higher-micron mica, and has loads of shimmer! It is one of the stars of the show in our True Red Trio. Adding this great mica to Queen of Hearts Mica and our Orange-Red Neon makes a stunning and beautiful true red in soaps!
|Mica (CI 77019), iron oxide (CI 77491)
|Micron Size
|FDA approved for Bath Bombs
|FDA approved for Eye Area
|FDA approved for Lips
|Use Rate for CP and HP
|1-2 tsp. per pound
|Use Rate for MP
|.5 tsp. per pound
I originally purchased this mica, along with a bit of NS's "Orange Red" neon pigment, to create the new orange-based red color. I already have NS's "Queen of Hearts" mica, which is needed to create this beautiful shade, so I was excited to try it out in CP! I wasn't prepared for how thrilled I'd be with just this color alone though! I have a mica called "Crimson Red Wine" from a different supplier that I really love, but the cost has skyrocketed to a price I can't afford anymore. Because of that, and despite my jar getting low, I wasn't planning on replacing it. To my eyes, this is that exact gorgeous shade of rich, sultry, burgundy-red, but at a fantastic price! I'm SO HAPPY I know where to find this stunning mica, and keep it in my collection for good now! The scarlet sparkle of this color is positively regal, and it looks breathtaking in both clear MP base & CP! It's the perfect shade for autumnal themes and holiday themes as well, but it's a color I'll use year-round in various projects too! It's a downright sexy shade of red, and I used it right away in a fall-inspired batch of CP! It looks amazing paired with other autumnal colors, and painting a touch of gold mica on top of MP leaf embeds made with this mica turned out positively rich looking! I'm so excited to try it in the red-trio blend next, but as for a color in & of itself, this is a jaw-dropping mica that I'm so excited to be able to always keep on hand now!

THE final score after the Wayne Rooney Show should have read: Her Majesty's Press 1 England Head Coach 1.
The soccer writers and their loyal readerships had, without any doubt, forced Boy Wonder into the side. The campaign had been relentless from the moment the whistle blew at the end of the insipid affair in Liechtenstein.
What do we want? We want Wayne. When do we want him? We want him now. Don't be a loon, start with Roon. Rooney, Rooney, never too soony. Poetry.
But Sven-Göran Eriksson played an ace by starting with the 17-year-old, who has the streamlining of a brick and the impact of a bunker buster. The scribes were sure they would see Rooney at some stage, but they did not…

AST 1250 – Getting Ready to Leave, Yet Another Challenge Letter
Qing Shui's most powerful aspect was still his Spirit Energy. Of course, the strength of his Nine Continents Mountain was incomparably terrifying, but in comparison, it was still his control of Spirit Energy that was the most powerful.
If the chances of his attack prowess doubling were met, the attacks of his Spirit Energy would become more powerful than ever. However, Qing Shui was more confident about the confinement strength of his Spirit Energy under the effect of the Eight-eight Divine Nebula Formation. For example, he felt more confident about the confinement strength of his Great Golden Buddha Palm Imprint and his Seventh Wave. Additionally, the binding strength of his Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines was also quite terrifying.
Both the Tidal Cloud Wave Seal and Seal of Xuantian would also increase significantly.
Qing Shui was satisfied. As long as his Spirit Energy could confine his opponent, for example, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, it would be a lot easier for him to play his opponents to death. Another example was, he could completely cripple his enemy with the Thunderous Beast or immediately let the Treasure Hunting Pig to come out through his own body.
Hence, it could be said that his current killing prowess had increased a lot. This time, Qing Shui was really satisfied. Even though he was aware that the strongest force within the Western Oxhe Continent was around 8,000 sun, but how many of those people exist within the Western Oxhe Continent? Most probably these people are extremely rare in number.
Qing Shui's increase in strength made the energy within his body many times more powerful. His entire body was not in the slightest inferior to demonic beasts at the same level. The Nine Yang Golden Body, even his Ancient Strengthening Technique had helped strengthen his physical body. Additionally, there was the power up provided by his Violet Gold Bloodline.
The enormous breakthrough this time meant that Qing Shui had begun taking over the top circle of strength within the Western Oxhe Continent. The refinement last time was an enormous turning point. It could be considered as something extremely crucial. However, only this time could be considered as a true huge leap he took, as the breakthrough this time have helped him completely unlocked this phase.
Now, there were a lot of things that Qing Shui no longer had to be too worried about. He could let just go ahead and do whatever he wanted to.
On the second day, Qing Sha was there for his morning practice like usual. Because of the time within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui wouldn't normally be able to make it early. Hence, Qing Sha was always earlier than her.
As time passed, Qing Sha got more and more powerful. She had already surpassed the Seventh Princess and Yan Jinyu. Even though her pernicious aura, baleful aura, and murderous aura were very strong, it was no longer something to be concerned about as long as her mind was awake. No one had decided that only white sword Qi would be considered righteous and that black sword Qi would be considered evil. What was evil were humans. Evil humans would still be evil even if they use white sword Qi.
Qing Shui also practiced his Taichi Fist and had a really calm mind as his chest was filled with Nature Energy. At the moment when he lifted his hand and moved his leg, the entire Heaven and Earth followed his movement and also began to move rhythmically.
After she finished her practice, Qing Sha could clearly tell the changes in Qing Shui. His entire person as well as his aura had changed. However, he was still the father which she was familiar with – the person who had treated her the best in this world.
Qing Shui seemed to really enjoyed practicing his Taichi Fist. The golden qi around his body was much more in quantity.. It was a lot more powerful than the Taichi Golden Qi in the past. Qing Sha also benefited a lot by watching Qing Shui practiced his Taichi Fist. With her current cultivation, the amount of benefits she could get from watching someone with Qing Shui's level practicing Taichi Fist was immeasurable.
This was considered as truly touching the great gate of Heavenly Dao. As Qing Shui swayed his hand, he carried along the rhythmic movement of the Heaven and Earth. Even at the time when he swung his arms, the Qi that was released was strong enough to pressure someone to death.
"Father, you broke through once again!"
When Qing Shui stopped, Qing Sha happily approached him and embraced his arm.
"Yes, it's considered a breakthrough. Oh yes, little lass, I'm going to talk to you about something." Since Qing Shui had already refined that powerful strength, the day for him to leave was near.
"Oh, father is leaving. Bring me along!" Qing Sha smiled and looked at Qing Shui.
"Little lass, maybe later on, I might have to move around and the current you is unsuitable for going with me. Your cultivation is at its most crucial moment. Do you not want to continue increasing your strength?" QIng Shui asked Qing Sha as he walked.
"Daddy, do you not want me anymore?" Suddenly, Qing Sha's face turned pale. She looked at Qing Shui seriously.
"How could I not? Little lass, why would you think that way?" Qing Shui rubbed her head when he saw her expression.
"I am scared that father will never come back ever again once you leave." Qing Sha said in a sad tone.
"Little lass, you still have them here. Why won't I come back? I am still hoping for Sister Su to become the headmaster here. The thing you need to do now is to cultivate hard." Qing Shui said patiently.
Qing Sha rolled her eyes. "Father, do you like her?"
"Why do you ask?" Qing Shui knew that Qing Sha was talking about the Eldest Princess.
"Why can't I ask this? I just feel that father treats her differently. You will hold her hand from time to time and even hug her." Qing Sha pouted.
"Erm, does this mean I like her then?" Qing Shui was stunned and asked with a smile.
"Don't treat me like a child. You guys are already like this, is this still counted as being normal friends?" Qing Sha said in an unsatisfied tone.
"Well then, little lass, do you want me to like her?" Qing Shui never expected for Qing Sha to think this way. Since she was already thinking like that, Yan Jinyu and the Seventh Princess most likely also had the same thought.
"It is useless whether I am willing to do so or not. You need to ask your wife." Qing Sha chuckled.
Qing Shui softly knocked her head and smiled. "Promise me to cultivate here well. Do you want to join the Heaven Secrets Academy? Forget it, this is still your choice. One more thing, if you need any help, you can look for her okay?"
Qing Sha hesitated for a while. "I'll listen to father as long as you take out some time to visit me.."
"I will promise you this. Don't worry, it's very easy for me to come back." Qing Shui had the Nine Continents Boots. He wouldn't need that much time to come back with his Nine Continents Step Effect. Even tho the Divine Might Dynasty might be really far away from the Heaven Secrets Academy, it was still within Qing Shui's acceptable range.
In the morning, Qing Shui headed off to the Heaven Secret Court. The other two old men from before were also there. Now, Qing Shui's formidable Spiritual Sense was able to vaguely feel Headmaster Cao's strength. It was around 5,000 sun, or roughly a little less than that.
Headmaster Cao was considered as one of the few Deputy Headmaster of the Heaven Secret Academy. As for the strength of the other old man, Qing Shui could only sense it vaguely. He was unable to feel his actual strength, however, what he could sensed was even stronger than Headmaster Cao's.
Upon seeing Qing Shui, the two old men were shocked. The old man in gold dragon gown smiled happily. "Qing Shui, indeed I am right, I wonder how much strength can you fight against now?"
Actually, the old man was really curious. After all, there was a time where Qing Shui was able to fight equally with the Saint Child who possessed a strength worth 2,100 sun, with his own 500 sun of strength and 1,000 sun of strength of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant.
"I can kill warriors with 4,000 sun worth of strength easily. As for 5,000 sun, I won't be so sure about that, but I'll still be able to protect myself!" Qing Shui knew that at this moment, he needed to say things like these to demonstrate his strength.
The old man didn't really look that shocked as he nodded. "The Heaven Secrets Academy will be your strongest shield. At least for now, it still can qualified to be that. I will try my best to let the girl in the Breezing Wind Veranda to grow stronger. By then, I will leave the Heaven Secrets Academy to her."
Qing Shui looked at the old man with a strange look. "Old man, do you really believe me that much? Are you not afraid that I may steal away your Heaven Secrets Academy? Or are you not afraid that I am a spy sent by the other two dynasties?"
"Haha, you have truly underestimated my old eyes. After ten years, or it may not even take that long, the Heaven Secrets Academy will be something you will no longer pay attention to. Besides, I am still quite confident when it comes to analyzing people. Or else, I would have eliminated you sooner. In any case, it is also a good thing that the Heaven Secrets Academy is in your hands."
The old man spoke calmly.
When Qing Shui heard the old man's words, not only was he not angry, but on the contrary, he felt that the old man was very honest. This was an old man who had dedicated his whole heart to the Heaven Secrets Academy. He nodded with a smile and said: "I will try my best to help develop the Heaven Secrets Academy."
The three started to drink tea and talk about some bizarre things. Qing Shui on the other hand, also had things to ask on his visit this time. Hence, he asked about all of the questionable things which he prepared before coming.
"How do people from Western Oxhe Continent travel to the other three continents?"
"Half of the Western Oxhe Continent is the one we're currently located in, other than this, it has another half. The other half of the continent is very dangerous. For example, after passing through the Desolate Mountain Regions, you'll arrive in the other half of the continent. The only way to the other three continents is through the other half of the Western Oxhe Continent. One could travel to it by walking past the other half of Western Oxhe Continent. It may sound easy, but the journey is incomparably dangerous." The old man in golden dragon gown said slowly after thinking for a while.
"Is this the only way?" Qing Shui asked, confused.
"At least based on my knowledge, this is the only way. Actually, the World of the Nine Continents is just too big. The continents are separated by oceans and mountain regions. However, there are still the Ancient Great Formation that connect the other five continents with the Western Oxhe Continent. Legend has it that a long time ago, the Western Oxhe Continent used to also have another Ancient Great Formation to link with the other three continents, just like the other five. However, legend also said that later on, the three continents destroyed the formation. In a way, it can be considered that they have completely destroyed their link with the Western Oxhe Continent."
"Has anyone been to the three continents throughout these years?" Qing Shui asked after he thought for awhile.
"Yes. Actually, there should be people that came from the other three continent in the Western Oxhe Continent. It's very easy for legendary warriors to travel back and forth between the continents. However, there are only very few people from the Western Oxhe Continent who managed to travel there. Hence, it already became a legend.
"What kind of strength do I need to travel smoothly to the other three continents?" Qing Shui had a feeling that he would definitely go there in the future. Hence, he felt that it would be best if he got a rough idea about it now.
"A strength worth 3,000 sun should be able to endure the journey. However, you will still need speed, for example, a powerful flying beast. Otherwise, the amount of time this journey will consume isn't something which a normal human can take." The old man in golden dragon gown smiled as he looked at Qing Shui.
"This journey seemed to be really far." Qing Shui laughed
"It's indeed far. You will need 20 years time travelling at your full speed. Even if you possessed a long lifespan, you may not be able to stand the exhaustion during your journey."
Twenty years?
Qing Shui was shocked. He might have achieved this level of strength and have a long lifespan, but 20 years was still not a short time. Let alone during his journey, the loneliness, as well as the danger he could ran into, weren't something which normal people could take. Since it was such a long time, the journey could be said to be filled with constant danger. The places which he would come across had a huge ocean included in it. It was incomparably dangerous. If he didn't run into any deserted island, then he would need a few flying beasts to take turns on his journey.
"Qing Shui, if you are planning to head off to the three continents, I would recommend you to do so a bit later." The old man gave Qing Shui an advice out of good intention. He didn't speak anymore than that.
"Yes, I know. I still plan to stay here for a few more years."
Qing Shui left after he asked again about the things regarding the Divine Might Dynasty. The main reason he came was to show the old man his hidden potential and increase his influence in the Heaven Secrets Academy. Other than that, he also asked a thing or two about stuffs which he would like to know himself.
However, not long after Qing Shui reached home, he had received a challenge letter. This was a challenge letter delivered by a group of people together. The names on the list included Fu Yantian, Tian Jianxian, Zuo Baidong, Ya Fengshui and Yu Huwu in it.
These were nearly the people from the five strongest forces among the Heaven Secrets Academy. Saint Child's Band, Lord Sect, Zuoyue Hall… Furthermore, it was very likely that they were the main lords of their respective forces.

AST 1251 – Before The Battle, Accepting The Challenge
Qing Shui never expected for someone to come and challenge him as soon as he broke through. Was this a coincidence or a scheme? However, he was still really happy. Before he left, he was still worrying about how he should make fame for himself. This was almost like someone giving you a pillow when you want to nap.
However, Qing Shui didn't understand why they wanted to unite and challenged him? Could it be that he was really close with the Eldest Princess last time? Or was it that he was really close with the higher-ups in the Heaven Secrets Academy and that his name as the Guest Custodian had been spread?
Qing Shui's heart was moved as soon as he saw the Saint Child's name. It might be that he felt that he had been careless last time and he wanted to fight again. Or, it might be that the challenge this time wasn't suggested by the Saint Child. This was just pushing somebody to do something way beyond their ability. For example, if Qing Shui got beaten by the Lord Sect or by other people, wouldn't that in a way say that he himself was inferior to them?
In just a moment, Qing Shui's thoughts spun about in his head quickly. Different ideas constantly flashed across his mind, but he wasn't worried for now. However, he also didn't want to offend all of them at once. Even though he wasn't scared of them, there were still the Eldest Princess, Qing Sha and others here.
When someone loved their house, they would love their crows too. (chinese idiom) Similarly, when someone hated it, they would also hate the crows together. Hence, if one of them were insane, who could guarantee nothing would happen? If he really wanted to fight, he would have to make sure to smash them completely and make sure that they couldn't stand back up forever.
At the moment when Qing Shui was indulged in his thoughts, Tian Jiange came. Compared to before, he seemed to be a lot more calm and steady. However, his brows were slightly knitted at the moment. As he saw the challenge letter in Qing Shui's hand, he said helplessly: "This was elder brother's wish. I couldn't stop him."
"Why stop him? Are you confident in taking over the Lord Sect?" Qing Shui suddenly asked Tian Jiange.
"I don't understand?" Tian Jiange seemed panicked. He stared at Qing Shui very tightly.
"I'm saying, if your brother lose the match this time and that you end up taking over the Lord Sect, will you be able to control it?" Qing Shui pinned the challenge letter on the stone table.
"Brother, my current strength is still insufficient to control the Lord Sect." Tian Jiange let out a sigh.
"Don't rush. We will wait a bit longer then." QIng Shui smiled and said.
Tian Jiange felt that the current Qing Shui was a bit unpredictable. He didn't know what exactly he should say. Even though he could roughly guess it, he couldn't really believe it either. This time, a few people had united to challenge him. A lot of people could tell that the Saint Child had been careless last time. Hence, if Qing Shui accepted this challenge, things definitely wouldn't end well for him.
"Elder brother, please help me pass the message. Just tell them that I accept the challenge, but we will need to bet on something by then." Qing Shui smiled and said.
"Brother, even if you don't accept it, the outsiders won't say anything. Why don't you reject it?" Tian Jiange tried to convince him.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just help me pass the message to them. As long as they promise that, I will accept the challenge. By then, the conditions of the bet will satisfy both sides. Tell them to not worry about it." Qing Shui smiled. This time, he had considered to helped the Eldest Princess paved ways.
Tian Jiange stopped convincing him. He knew that Qing Shui normally wouldn't change his minds on things which he had decided on. Besides, from the way he knew this man, he knew that Qing Shui wouldn't do things he wasn't confident with.
When he first came, he had already noticed that Qing Shui felt different than before. Even though he wasn't really sure, but it must have a huge relation with the breakthrough in his strength.
"Tomorrow noon at the Heaven Secrets Arena!" Qing Shui confirmed the time as he smiled and told Tian Jiange.
Qing Shui accepted the challenge. He once again spread it around the Heaven Secret Academy.
People were already talking about all kinds of things after just a while. Now, no one dared to look down on Qing Shui anymore. In any case, how many people were there that could force the Saint Child to the extent that he united with other people to challenge someone? Furthermore, Qing Shui also held the position as the Guest Custodian.
"Brother Sui, are you still going to spectate it this time?" The old man with surname Cao chuckled as he spoke.
"Do you think that it's still something to look forward to?"
"Most likely not, the gap is too wide."
"Yes, by the way nurture that little lass well. In the future, the Heaven Secrets Academy will be in her hand. It's only by her ruling that the Heaven Secrets Academy will be the strongest existence within the Western Oxhe Continent. The Heaven Secrets Academy may be able to spread out its force across the entire continent earlier than expected. It may even have hope of making its way into the other three continents. This is an opportunity."
"You are saying that the brat likes Sunu?" The old man with surname Cao asked in a slightly strange manner.
"Haha, is this even something to be questioned about? Just watch, in the future, Sunu will definitely get together with this brat." The old man in gold dragon gown said while he laughed.
"You've changed!" the Eldest Princess got shocked after she saw Qing Shui.
"I look more handsome now, don't I?" Qing Shui quickly went with the flow and said.
"You have become even paler. Your skin also looks smoother. You look a bit like a girl now." the Eldest Princess said seriously.
Qing Shui felt black lines hang above his head. He angrily clenched his teeth and hugged her: "Do I seem more manly now……?"
As she saw Qing Shui's face, the Eldest Princess laughed. She softly opened up his arms, let out her hand and rubbed his head. She only stopped after she messed up his hair.
"You are fighting again? Are you confident you can win?" the Eldest Princess turned around and went forward.
"Have you ever seen me before doing something I'm not confident with?" Qing Shui said as he showed off.
"Good then, inform me when you're about to leave. I'll send you off!" the Eldest Princess smiled and looked at Qing Shui.
"Going to miss me?" Qing Shui took two steps forward towards her.
"Who do you think you are? I won't even remember you." the Eldest Princess smiled and said.
"Can I ask you a question?" Qing Shui asked strangely.
"What question?" the Eldest Princess felt that Qing Shui's expression looked a bit weird.
"I have said before that everyone has emotions regardless of whether they are guys or girls. Have you ever thought of a man throughout these years? For example, have you ever had any wet dreams?" Qing Shui said patiently while he looked at the Eldest Princess. If the Eldest Princess' expression changed very quickly, he would immediately stop.
"What kind of answer do you want?" the Eldest Princess wasn't mad, nor was she angry. It was as if she was emotionless. Instead, she asked back another question to Qing Shui.
"I want the real answer."
"Can you distinguish between the real and fake answer?"
"Well that explains it. What answer do you want to hear? I'll answer you that, wouldn't that be better?" The Eldest Princess responded with a faint smile.
"Yes, that makes sense too. Well then, you can say you have emotions. You have also had a lot of charming and gentle dreams before. In those dreams, you were having fun with Qing Shui and you almost died from the overwhelming pleasure after I fulfil your sexual desir……"
Before Qing Shui could finish his words, the shy Eldest Princess immediately covered his mouth.
She also never expected this tactless little brat to become more and more daring. Qing Shui, whose mouth had been covered, already experienced this before. He let out his tongue and licked it around her palm. The Eldest Princess retracted back her hand as if she just got shocked.
"You are not respecting me." the Eldest Princess slightly lowered down her head and said depressingly.
Qing Shui felt as if his heart stopped for a while. With both of his arms, he held her shoulders which felt like blades and said seriously: "No, I have always respected you. It's just that for some reason, I really enjoyed looking at your shy face. I am treating you like my soulmate, a soulmate whom I can share everything with. Since you say that you are not getting married, I want to give you another kind of life."
As the Eldest Princess heard Qing Shui's words, her beautiful body shook. She lifted up her head and looked at the serious expression of the man in front of him. Then, she smiled gently: "I am not getting married. If I were to do so, I'll get married to you."
"Do you not mind about the fact I have wives anymore?" Qing Shui looked at the Eldest Princess, confused. Women's thought were indeed unpredictable.
"I don't want to stick around with you everyday. Besides, I am just saying if. Don't try to come up with any crooked intentions or else I will ignore you for my entire life." The Eldest Princess revealed a relaxed smile.
"Crooked intention? What crooked intention?" QIng Shui asked as he pretended like he didn't know what she meant.
"Do not take off my cloth……" It seemed like the Eldest Princess also didn't know how she should respond to make it sound appropriate. However, she knew that Qing Shui was only teasing her. Hence, she was also playing with him as she was also aware of the schemes of men.
"Oh, I know now. So as long as I don't take off your clothes, I can do whatever I want, right?" Qing Shui asked with a smile.
It was as if the Eldest Princess also heard something wrong with what he said. "Little bastard, you are becoming more daring now!"
"I'm about to engage in a fight with other people. Sister Su, please give me some motivation." Qing Shui said with a smile.
The Eldest Princess was helpless. However, she still stepped forward and gently hugged Qing Shui. From what she said before, it could be already considered she have made a promise with Qing Shui. Hence, she didn't feel that any of the close interactions they had with each other were repulsive. She realized that she didn't really hate this kind of sensation but rather, it seemed that she even started to look forward to them.
As Qing Shui looked at her, he was a bit stunned. He gently kissed her jade-like face. It smelled really fragrant, felt really smooth and soft. He quickly separated away from her after he kissed her. Despite so, this still stunned the Eldest Princess.
The impact was still really huge. After she looked at Qing Shui for quite a while, she dug her head into his chest. The two of them hugged each other very tightly.
Qing Shui felt the firmness of her breast and wonderful softness of her body. He couldn't resist the erection of his little brother. It pressed against a tender spot, causing the beautiful body in his arm to immediately weaken.
He was aware which part of her body he had bumped into. Compared to himself, the Eldest Princess' slender body wasn't really that short. She had long and slender legs, as she also tiptoed back then when she hugged him. And now, the firm object below Qing Shui already pressed itself against her wet spot.
Qing Shui inhaled some cold air. This was a kind of comfortable sensation. It has been a long time since he had last 'eaten any flesh'. As he embraced that beautiful waist, he unknowingly exerted a bit of force. Qing Shui didn't know when, but his hands were already on her upright and beautiful buttocks. As he touched it, it felt smooth like jade and also felt incredibly tight. Without himself noticing, he had already grabbed it.
"If you try to do anything more than that, I will leave right away."
The Eldest Princess' weak and soft voice came through.
Even though Qing Shui wasn't moving, the firm and upright object below him got stimulated. It felt as if it was moving up and down slightly.
Qing Shui's arms embraced her alluring butt. He lowered down his head and looked at the her blurry eyes. The Eldest Princess, whose entire face had turned red, was tightly embracing Qing Shui's neck with both of her arms. She wanted to lift up her body a bit higher to avoid the interaction down below which made her flustered.
However, she didn't know that the higher she tried to lift up her body, the more awkward the angle looked. Even though she had her clothes on, he still had a really strong desire to make his way in. Right now, Qing Shui was feeling both comfortable down to his core, but was also feeling tortured. He was just like a person that was about to starve to death who saw a piece of fresh, cooked meat. However, the only thing he could do was to lick it, he couldn't bite it or eat it.
It had only been roughly about half an hour and the only thing Qing Shui felt was the woman in his arms being stiff. Following that, he felt something very wet below him. However, it didn't really come from him. The woman in his arms on the other hand, was still twitching.
She was actually this sensitive……

To the Editors: In 1964, Samman and White (1) described the yellow nail syndrome as the combination of discolored, dystrophic nails and primary lymphedema. Pleural effusion, bronchiectasis, and sinusitis in varying combinations are commonly associated with this syndrome (2, 3). We report a case in which this syndrome was associated with remarkable pericardial effusion.
A 44-year-old man was referred because of lymphedema of the lower extremities and deformed yellow nails. The nail changes began in infancy and were followed by the development of chronic sinusitis. After a traumatic fracture of the left tibia at 12 years of age, he noted

If there's one thing we know about Chrissy Teigen, it's that she's going to tell it like it is. Whether it's political, personal or culinary, Chrissy is going to let you know exactly how she feels. One of the aspects of her life she's been particularly candid about is her experiences with pregnancy. She's shared how she and John Legend had difficulty conceiving, their rationale for using in-vitro fertilization, pictures of her stretchmarks and her battle with postpartum depression after their daughter Luna was born.
John and Chrissy welcomed Luna in April 2016 and the model is currently "'want to build a dog house' weeks pregnant" with their second child, a son. Chrissy and others who have used IVF to conceive have endured negative reactions in the past, mostly people who advocate for what they call "natural" conception. In 2015, designer Domenico Dolce (of Dolce & Gabban fame) made statements calling children born through IVF "synthetic."
"You are born and you have a father and mother," he told Italian magazine Panorama. "At least it should be like that. That's why I'm not convinced by what I call chemical children, synthetic babies." The comments sparked mass outrage and boycotts at the time and the designer, along with partner Stefano Gabbana, issued an apology shortly after. Teigen revealed on Tuesday, amid backlash against YouTuber Logan Paul (who posted an insensitive video related to suicide), that she still doesn't wear the designer because of those comments.
An example I have is with a certain clothing company. Years ago the designers said things i personally found horrible about IVF children. I made the choice to simply…never wear or purchase again instead of trying to "end them"
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 2, 2018
The model used her personal boycott as an example for how one might make your ethical opinion known without calling for the "ruin" of a person's career or life. After Paul posted a video filmed in Japan's "suicide forest" that featured a dead body and trivialized the gravity of taking one's own life, he received harsh online backlash and many calls to end his career. Chrissy didn't claim to be sympathetic to the YouTuber's situation, but wanted to advocate for a more nuanced conversation about what we do in the face of public "unethical" blunders.
Re: Logan Paul, something I always think about is when people make…ethical mistakes, as in, not-illegal, should we really be trying I ruin their lives and end their careers or accept the apology, personally make a choice to stop watching, and move on.
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 2, 2018
Oh I'm not saying what he did wasn't sick and stupid and his videos aren't or haven't been stupid, I'm saying…a lot of you don't know what it's like to have a campaign to end your entire being https://t.co/6s5OSZCZnU
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 2, 2018
I think I'm talking to the wrong audience here. Not many of you guys will ever understand the campaign to END YOU…some of you are the enders and there is no conversation allowed (which I now clearly see) – point taken back to black mirror
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 2, 2018
I'm not concerned about his personal well being at all. I think this is a longer conversation about…and I hate this phrasing but…us as a society. https://t.co/EK8VBN6fa0
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 2, 2018
In classic Chrissy style, she added that her argument might also be the result of watching too much Black Mirror, referring to the season three episode, "Hated in the Nation" where there are grave consequences for publicly shaming people on social media.

Logic and memory are essential functions of circuits that generate complex, state-dependent responses. Here we describe a strategy for efficiently assembling synthetic genetic circuits that use recombinases to implement Boolean logic functions with stable DNA-encoded memory of events. Application of this strategy allowed us to create all 16 two-input Boolean logic functions in living Escherichia coli cells without requiring cascades comprising multiple logic gates. We demonstrate long-term maintenance of memory for at least 90 cell generations and the ability to interrogate the states of these synthetic devices with fluorescent reporters and PCR. Using this approach we created two-bit digital-to-analog converters, which should be useful in biotechnology applications for encoding multiple stable gene expression outputs using transient inputs of inducers. We envision that this integrated logic and memory system will enable the implementation of complex cellular state machines, behaviors and pathways for therapeutic, diagnostic and basic science applications.

People on trial, especially women that end up being executed, make good theatre and film as well as subjects of art. The two reigning queens whose lives still continue to resonate long after their deaths are Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), the last Queen of France, who literally lost her head, and Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) who went up in flames nearly seven centuries ago. Done in by politics, both were captured, jailed, put on trial, dragged through the streets and summarily executed, as a kind of entertainment before a boisterous crowd of unruly citizens. And ever since their demise each continues to be resuscitated, again and again, in both fictive and non-fictive modes, for the viewing, listening, and reading pleasure of those of us still alive.
The latest Joan of Arc re-creation, currently playing at the Public Theatre in New York City through December 23, is Jane Anderson's play Mother of Maid, starring Glenn Close as Joan of Arc's mother. I might add, before going any further that there are three major reasons which make this play well-worth seeing: Glenn Close! Glenn Close! And Glenn Close! Her rock-solid presence, strongly insistent, as is her style, dwarfs every cast member around her. Obviously she is the play's calling card.
This is Mother of the Maid's second go around, as the play had its world premiere at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts in 2015. Since then Anderson has restructured the play by eliminating one character and combining two others, thus allegedly simplifying the play for future audiences. In the old version Joan's mother shares the narration with Saint Catherine, the very saint who told Joan to drive out the English out of France and bring the Dauphin to Reims for his coronation. In the newly renovated play, it is Joan's mother alone – an interesting conceit – who gets to tell her daughter's story from a mother's point of view.
The well-worn, well-known story of Joan of Arc, architecturally speaking, is usually presented, whether on stage, film, or in book, as a straight-on retelling in which we get to follow Joan's battlefront triumphs, her capture and jailing, her trial, and her very end when she is burned at the stake. And all through these tellings it is Joan herself who appears front, center, and in our face.
Not so in Anderson's version. Here, her Joan of Arc (Grace Van Patten), though half of the play's title and the main topic of everybody's attention, from her mother Isabelle (Glenn Close), her father Jacques (Dermot Crowley), her brother Pierre (Andrew Hovelson) who follows Joan into battle, and all of the other minor characters in the play, comes across, in all but her one prison scene, as background fodder, a major minor second fiddle if you will.
While Mother of the Maid does skim the highlights of Joan's short life, rather perfunctorily – she goes up in smoke at age 19 – the story as it unfolds here is shockingly shallow in depth. In fact, the overly simple seven-scene play, which presents all of the characters in an annoying folksy contemporary vein – can you believe that the 15th Century Joan keeps calling her mother Ma – is at best a Cliff Notes version of the Joan of Arc story. It can also be viewed in its simplicity, as a historical children's fable.
In this play Anderson's Joan is presented as a somewhat petulant and oft morose teenager given to visions, and obsessed with leading an army to rid France of the English. Her peasant mother and father are depicted as hard working country bumpkins resembling, and as some critics have noted, Hollywood's Ma and Pa Kettle whose films of the 40s and 50s rescued Universal Studios from bankruptcy.
If you like confrontational meat, the ugly and painful trials of either Antoinette and Joan, both highly documented in their own times, is the place to be. Just watching the calisthenics of prosecutors, defendants, and various witnesses offering testimony, both pro and con, truth-tellers and liars, even though you know the ending, is enough to keep your heart thumping, and both eyes riveted on the action.
Unfortunately, here we only hear about the trial, and superficially at that. In fact, most of the action, including Joan's private meetings with the Dauphine who was her mentor – and who among us would not want to be a fly on the wall – take place off stage.
For the record, no person of the middle ages, male or female, has been the subject of more study than Joan of Arc. There is a wealth of historical material available. The main sources of information are the chronicles. Five original manuscripts of her condemnation trial surfaced in old archives during the 19th century. Historians also located the complete records of her rehabilitation trial, which contained sworn testimony from 115 witnesses, and the original French notes for the Latin condemnation trial transcript. A wealth of similarly kept historical documents exists for Antoinette also.
Although all of the secondary actors in Mother of the Maid, from Joan's father Jacques (Dermot Crowley), her brother Pierre (Andrew Hovelson), and Daniel Pearce who plays three roles, that of Father Gilbert, Chamberlain, and a scribe, turn in performances, as accomplished as the script allows, it is Kate Jennings Grant's Lady of the Court, the most naturally spontaneous written character in the play that I found most interesting.
Though Grant's role as a noblewoman is on the smaller side, and she appears in only two scenes, her character, the least rigid in the play, is the only character that I wanted to see more of. Her skill in showing compassion, mother love, friendship, and true self-reflection, was mesmerizing in its honesty. Equally alluring, in view of the extreme seriousness of Joan's plight and her parent's incessant worrying about the safety of their daughter, is Grant's light touch which adds a few dollops of levity of which the play offers little.
Aiding and abetting each of Grant's scenes was the magic hands of scenic designer John Lee Beatty, and costume designer Jane Greenwood, who took us from the drab brown and grey settings of Joan's home in Domrémy, in northeastern France, to the bright and colorful, ornately designed chamber in the Dauphin's castle.
Least satisfying was the performance of Grace Van Patten. Try as she did, pitted against the play's more seasoned actors, and tethered to a weak script to boot, Patten's Joan, in all but her prison scene when her mother comes to wash her sick, gaunt, and highly bruised daughter just before she is to be led to her death, strains believability. It is in this harrowing scene, as we watch Joan being roughly separated from her mother and dragged from her cell by a prison guard that pulls our heart from out of our chest.
Though the play could have ended right then and there, another scene, the last, has each character informing us in monologue style, as to what happened to them after Joan's death.
After the others have their say, and just before the stage goes black and the play comes to a close, a still-grieving Isabelle, looking over our heads, out at the horizon in front of her, asks us if we hear those birds. "How do they keep up it up all day? It must be for pure enjoyment. And look at all these wildflowers — how do such delicate things manage to push their way up out of the dirt. And all those silly bees digging into those blossoms, sucking up the nectar, not giving up — oh the greedy, greedy things. And smell that air. So full of the sweetness of grass and bud and life. And the sky. Such a clear, clean blue. This is what made my daughter's heart so large. She didn't need to conjure up some saint. This, all this…this is pure goodness."
Waiting a few beats she ends the play with the saddest, tear triggering words of the evening, "I had a daughter once."

Norman Rockwell portrait of Berks industrialist donated to Reading Museum
The drawing of Jeremiah Lee Bausher was displayed in the family's PennCrest mansion for decades.
The Reading Public Museum is poised to receive a donation of a piece of art created by renowned American artist Norman Rockwell that features a local connection.
A Bern Township resident has pledged to donate a graphite and charcoal drawing of Jeremiah Lee Bausher, her late father and a prominent textile industrialist. Bausher commissioned the drawing in the 1950s as a Christmas gift to his wife, Mildred Jordan Bausher. It was displayed in the family's PennCrest mansion on Hill Road in Reading for decades.
The drawing will be unveiled at a private museum ceremony at PennCrest on Nov. 7.
Along with the drawing, the donation includes a personal note penned by Rockwell to Bausher.
After the ceremony, the drawing will be on public display in the Reading Public Museum's American Gallery through the end of 2017 and will then return to the donor, who will keep it until her death.
Scott Schweigert, curator of art at the Reading Public Museum, said the gift is exceptionally important to the museum's collection because it was commissioned by Bausher, who was one of the most visible residents in the city in the 20th century and who had the foresight to approach an important artist who was greatly admired.
"It's sort of the perfect storm for us, having the sitter be someone who was a prominent citizen in Reading," Schweigert said. "And obviously Norman Rockwell's name is pretty recognizable, even to a lot of people who don't know a whole lot about art. He appeals to so many facets of society."
The graphite and charcoal drawing of Bausher will be linked to a preparatory oil study Rockwell made for a Saturday Evening Post cover that has been in the museum's collection for more than five years.
Schweigert said the museum originally bought the oil study from a gallery and will display it with the drawing, highlighting Rockwell's creative process with different mediums.
"There's this idea that (Rockwell) was facile with a pen or a pencil and charcoal, but he was also a talented painter as well," Schweigert said. "It's great to be a caretaker for something so important with a name that's so recognizable across the whole spectrum. We're thrilled to have it."
The museum did not release the name of the donor.
