Young refugees were beaten and tortured by Indonesian Immigration Officers yesterday on 12 February 2018:
We are just refugees seeking safety and peace. We faced extreme brutality in our countries of origin, which is why we had to leave. But now we are experiencing the same cruelty here, from people who are meant to keep us safe or at least protect us as long as we are in their country. Instead they are doing the opposite.
My name is not important. All that matters is that I'm a refugee seeking only justice, peace and humanity, and I desperately need your help.
I live in Makassar city, Indonesia. I'm sure you have received mail from many refugees around Makassar recently. But this case is different. On 12 February 2018, around forty immigration officers suddenly stormed into "WISMA MUSTIKA 3″ refugee accommodation in Makassar City, Indonesia. Some of the officers had covered their faces, but most had not. They arrived angry, shouting loudly in the lobby that they were looking for four people specifically. They entered the first room and captured the wafa dragging him out as if they had caught a terrorist suspect or a murderer, when in reality he is just an eighteen year old boy. They punched and slapped him repeatedly, while other officers went to find three other refugees.
The immigration officers did not explain why they were looking for these four people. They were rude, abusive and disrespectful. Groups of six or seven officers entered rooms, put their shoes on the carpets and beds, and did not even respect those who were in their rooms praying at the time. They sought them out one by one and took them outside, where with cruel, brutal inhumanity they punched their faces and bodies, slapped them, shouted at them to humiliate them, and all the time were shouting to the other refugees, ordering them to "Stay in your rooms and do not come out, or we will take you as well."
One officer who was tall and muscular was seen beating up a person on the stairs, and shouting at him in an Indonesian accent. Another officer, who seemed to be in command, was shouting in the lobby "Who else wants to complain? Haa! Come outside."
Then they went to another accommodation block in Jalan Landak Baru Lorong 1, Wisma Mayasara, and seized two other eighteen year-old boys, They beat them brutally, as they had done to the others.
Everything I have described here was recorded on the" CCTV" at the accommodation, from the arrival of the thirty to forty officers, through the entire time they were beating up these people and until the moment they left, taking those four refugees with them. It is all recorded on CCTV. Please send someone to check and seize the CCTV video so you can see the truth with your own eyes – unless the security officer in charge deletes those tapes by tomorrow. If that happens, just ask any of the residents in either location: they will tell you exactly what took place.
As a refugee, a human being seeking safety and peace, a person who urgently needs your attention and help, I beg you to help us. In these conditions we have no power. Please, hear our voice and help us now. You are our only hope.
Thank you so much!
We need to email amnesty international, international community to put pressure on IOM and UNHCR in Indonesia to argue with Indonesian government to protect Refugees in this country while they await resettlement.

D- is home alone most of the time while we adults are at work and her sisters are in daycare. The family across the street watches out for her, as does the neighbor lady a few doors down. Today, she made apple cinnamon muffins by herself. This is a major step for her. With her autism, learning is slow and difficult. Simple tasks become monstrous for her, especially if her anxiety is kicking in. So imagine my surprise and how proud this momma was to come home and find one of my favorite muffins waiting for me! True, she forgot the crumb topping before baking, but we are a creative family. Just add a smear of butter, then top. Yum!!!!
A- is just randomly amazing all of us. One minute the little ADHD terror is jumping and bouncing off my walls, and the next she is sitting calmly next to Q- telling her a story. Her reading is improving and we are not sure how. Most of the summer has been impossible to convince her to sit and read with us. Now she is asking to read with us and is saying more words then ever before. A- can now relate simple details about long stories and add her own opinions to the plot line. Excuse me while I pat myself on the back for having a child that likes to read.
Q- is talking more than either of her sisters were at age 2. She is also proving to be more independent than the 6 year old. We do not point this out to the girls, however, the thought has crossed my mind. While we are all getting ready in the morning, Q- is the one who wants to dress herself and put her shoes on. In the end, she asks for help, but at least she is trying. And she never lets me forget to brush her teeth.
This summer has been a mile stone for our family. J- got hired on by a company he enjoys and has applied to them in the past. I was able to return to work at a company I love working for, And all three of the girls have hit new markers in their own lives. We are each growing as individuals and as a family unit. Things are still stressful. There was an event over the summer that almost destroyed us as a family. No, I am not ready to talk about that.
I am still shaken and feel worthless most of the time because of the events that took place. Yet, when I look at all that has happened and how life has played out, part of me is so thankful that we survived it all. Of course, my personality dictates that I ask this question: what major catastrophe is next?
Financially, we are not in a good place as of yet. Most of the issues have not been resolved, however, steps are being taken to fix that. Namely, I am in therapy to deal with my depression and family counseling is scheduled for an upcoming date. I actually sleep most nights, and I am eating at least twice a day. This is a huge step for me to become healthy. This summer has had setbacks and forward movement as well. Now on to the fall to see what happens next.

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Israeli stocks couldn't hold early gains and slipped to a third day of losses, led by weakness in the banking sector as well as Israel Chemicals and selected technology issues.
Late in the Wednesday session, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's benchmark TA-25 Index fell nearly 1% to 675.10 as the TA-100 Index (1884407) dropped slightly more 1% to stand at 597.76.
The Tel-Tech 15 Index of top technology issues gave up 1.7% to 147.22.
Bank shares traded mixed.
Shares of Bank Hapoalim BKHYY, -3.14% and Bank Leumi both gave up 0.6% while Discount moved down 0.4%, but Mizrahi Tefahot added 0.7% and First International Issue 5 gained 0.7%.
Israeli press reports say that the country's antitrust authorities are planning a fine of nearly 300 million shekels ($77.6 million) against the banks for what they allege is collusion on service fees.
"While there is no consensus among the banks as to how to proceed, they agree the proposed fine is unrealistic," Leader Capital Markets said in a note. "We expect a negotiated settlement of less than [what is] being proposed, while still being a significant amount."
The issue traded most actively was fertilizer producer Israel Chemicals, down 2.7%. Shares of fellow chemicals producer Makhteshim-Agan also fell, down 3.8%.
"The weak fourth-quarter update and lowered forecast by integrated global agribusiness Bunge, announced after the U.S. close [on Tuesday], is a mild negative for both Israel Chemicals and Makhteshim-Agan," Leader analysts said.
Shares of Bunge Ltd. BG, -0.29% opened down nearly 10% in New York trading.
Also on the move in Tel Aviv, shares of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries TEVA, -1.63% sold off 2%.
Mixed action in telecom shares showed Cellcom CEL, -0.33%, the country's largest cellular carrier, higher by 1.9%. But shares of fixed-line carrier Bezeq, parent of Pelephone-brand wireless service, lost 1% as Partner Communications PTNR, -1.13%, the Israeli affiliate of the Orange FTE, -1.52% (013330) wireless network, slipped 0.6%.
Weighing on the Tel-Tech were a decline of more than 10% in shares of technology manager Formula Systems FORTY, -2.95% as well as a 6.2% pullback in Alvarion Ltd. ALVR, producer of wireless broadband networks. Shares of defense contractor Elbit Systems ESLT, -0.17% also gave ground, dropping 1.3%.
Alvarion's shares started the month with four days of advances totaling more than 30%. They've declined for four of the past five session, however, losing nearly 14% over that interval.
Also lower, shares of AudioCodes AUDC, -1.71% fell 0.7%. The specialist in technology for sending voice communications over the Internet will implement wage cuts of 10% for managers and of 6% for line staff, Israeli business daily Globes reported.
Shares of Retalix RTLX rose 1%.
The producer of management solutions for supermarkets and distributors said that a subsidiary of its principal shareholder, plans a tender offer for as much as 10% of the company at a 6% premium to the shares' Tuesday closing price.
Also higher, VeriFone PAY, +0.00%, the producer of payment-processing systems, saw its shares jump 3.4%.

The cost of the MS Windows license is not included in the cost of server rent. If it necessary, we will provide you with the appropriate license for extra cost. If you chose to install Windows OS, please contact the Customer Care team and let them know your preferences on the version and the language of the operating system.

When you rent a dedicated server from SIM-Networks, you rent a dedicated server from a German legal entity. A server in Germany is perfect for projects aimed at the European market. This means top-notch SLA, the proverbial German reliability and resilience.
The direct channels to the EU countries, Ukraine and Russia cater for high-speed data exchange, which is why renting a server in Germany is a great idea for projects aimed at the audience in Ukraine and Russia, too.

By default, every customer renting a physical server (a dedicated server) gets full access to managing the operating system, too.
Upon the dedicated server activation, you get root access to it. For security reasons, we recommend changing a root user's password in the operating system installed right after the server installation and setup. In that case, you will be the only one having the authorization credentials. If you turn to the customer support team to perform any activities related to the operating system administration, you will have to provide temporary access for the SIM-Networks technical support engineers, since the company does not log changes in the credentials to access the OS. In addition to the free-of-charge 24/7 support, you can also buy a server administration service.
As an extra option, we can provide you with an IP KVM, which you can order and use at any time.

The Odisha government has effected a major reshuffle of lower and middle level IAS officers in the state.

He would replace Manasi Nimbahl, who has been posted as the new collector of Gajapati in place of Basudev Bahinipati. Bahinipati was shunted out in the wake of the suicide by tribal nursing student Sunita Raita.
2011 batch IAS officer Samath Verma, who was sub collector Koraput has been posted as project director, DRDA, Koraput. 2011 batch IAS G Reghu, who was sub collector Baliguda, has now been posted as project director DRDA, Malkangiri.

Do you exfoliate? If you have a beard (and even if you don't), your skin will thank you for it. Using grade-A facial scrubs will help you ensure that you're really getting all the gunk out from underneath your facial hair before you apply beard oil.
There may be other gadgets out there, but these are the only tools you need. (I, personally, don't refer to beard care products like beard shampoo and beard oil as tools, because specific language is important when you're writing an instructional guide.)
To buy the most influential product, you will have to carry on an in-depth market research. Where the market is cluttered with competitive products introduced by different brands, to buy the best professional beard trimmer requires your special attention. And below we mention the factors, which contribute a prominent role in letting you pick the most efficient product.
Lacks Precision: While this is certainly a top-notch product, not everything is perfect about this model. It doesn't provide the same trimming detail as many other options around, so if you need something with a lot of accuracies, this might not be the best beard and mustache trimmer for you.
Beard texture paste is one of those newer beard products that many men don't really know about, but it can be useful for creating hold and texture simultaneously in your beard, which is great if you have super silky fine beard hair, which is rarer than other beard hair textures but does occur.
The relationship between beard health and body health is a close one. If you have a well-balanced, healthy diet, not only will you reap the benefits, but your beard has a much better chance to bloom. To really in tip-top shape you'll need to keep an eye on these foods.
Great article! Thanks. I've been growing a beard for a while now and along the journey I've become fairly obsessed with beard oils. My favourite by far is Buccaneer Grooming's 'The Buc'. It's an Australian brand and smells super fresh with sandalwood, lemongrass and peppermint. It's really unique. I've found many other brands make scents that are fairly similar. This one is quite different and I recommend you check it out.
While you'll find the perfect amount through trial and error, a good rule of thumb is a dime-sized puddle in your palm for beard oil and a fingertip-sized blob for beard balm. Another helpful hint is to think of it as (much classier) hair gel for your beard — while less will go further compared to gel, your face-hair will tell you when it's nice and saturated much like your head-hair will.
Beards have been part of the Amish culture for, well, forever. Suffice to say; it figures that their methods of beard care – now having been passed down for generations – are worth paying attention to. Their hand-crafted, all-natural beard oil is worth the price of admission for its smell alone, which is decidedly distinctive but not overpowering.
The good folks at Balding Beards have created a site where manliness and beards thrive in harmony. It's a great resource for information, tips, and products for facial hair, hair loss, personal grooming, and even manly entertainment. They focus on long, thorough articles, reviews and guides which are regularly updated.
Use the convenient glass dropper to put a couple drops of Beard Oil into your palm. Then rub hands together. Massage upward into the beard and skin under your chin and cheeks. To finish, groom beard down and style as usual. Wait for the compliments
After shampooing, you may use a conditioner. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. Failure to rinse sufficiently may result in flaking. Because beard hairs are so coarse, conditioners will have less effect on the beard than on the hair on your head. But a conditioner will still help make your beard feel softer.
Tools like a beard trimmer for instance. A beard trimmer is versatile and makes it easier to get exactly the beard you want. And the best ones – like the Philips Norelco Beard & Head Trimmer Series 5100 – will advance your quest even closer to perfection.
If like many men, you suffer patchy facial hair, consider filling in the blanks with beard products that give the appearance of thicker beards. This will immediately draw the eye to the area and make it look as if there is more hair than there is. Most of the time, celebrities keep their beards short and thick, and use this approach. You would be surprised how short some beards actually are, but it's actually their presence that carries the greatest of weight.
But now that you have three months since you started, you realize that it's not such a piece of cake after all. Your beard has a decent length, but the quality is not the best? It's a bit wiry and difficult to manage?
According to Bosselman, "Quality oils like this can help to rebalance your skin's own oil production. It's a sort of fight-fire-with-fire situation — oils can make your skin less oily. If you're concerned about an ingredient, Google it with the word 'comedogenic.' If it contains a pore-clogging ingredient, don't buy it."
We understand that there are some cases of beard patchiness that will never ever be remedied. However, that doesn't mean that you need to opt for the completely shaven look either. Although we don't suggest this to many, the best way to combat persistent beard patchiness is to simply opt for a shorter length of facial hair, going as far as what many simply consider "scruff." Much like baldness, it's much less noticeable when your facial hair is already at a short length so the areas that simply don't grow hair become less apparent in comparison to those that do.
Remember to be patient and persistent. You can encourage your beard to grow faster, but your genetics will play a large role in how quickly the facial hair grows. Look at the beards your male relatives have; that will help you figure out what you can expect.
Apply beard oil or balm on dry (not wet) beard. Apply a few drops in your hands and massage your beard working your way towards the roots. Massage the roots as well. Here again, our trial and error experience tells us that a safe choice in terms of ingredients and results would be the Seven Potions products. But if you find something better, tell us about it!
I've been using kuza hair growth oil product. For like 7months now. Though I have some beard, but it doesn't grow much faster and the way I want it. Still have some patches in some areas, like my side cheeks. While my jaw is full with like 3 to 4 inches thick grown beard. What can I do to make both cheeks to grow like my jaw?
Your product will be shipped to its final destination to arrive in 2 business days or faster. If your order is placed before the 11 a.m. PST cutoff time, then it will ship that day and arrive 2 business days later. If your order is placed after the 11 a.m. PST cutoff time, we will do our best to process it the same day but may need an extra day.
If you're new to the whole having a beard thing, it can seem like a challenge to learn how to trim your beard. In reality, it's not as difficult as it seems and can be broken down into a few simple steps.
Make no mistake; the Braun BT5070 gives you flexibility. It has two detachable trimming combs and 25 different length settings; so, whether you're looking to trim your full beard or go for a designer stubble look, this trimmer has you covered.
You really don't need a lot. A lot of beard wearers will just scrape the balm with the their thumb-nail. That small dime-size amount is all you need to rub together in your palms and condition your beard. If you have a longer beard, you are going to need a bit more, but not much.
Beard oil is an oil-based light moisturizer that can be applied throughout your entire beard quickly and effortlessly. Its liquid form also means it's more effective in hydrating the skin through shorter or trimmed beards as opposed to their larger counterparts.
Philips Norelco 9100 is the world's first to feature an inbuilt laser guide to help shave or trim precisely to your desired length and the style. This feature of the shaver also makes it the best beard trimmer for shaping. With the feature of 17 length settings, it can literally customize the kind of look you have wanted to get.
The Remington MB4040 has multiple features all in one that makes it the clear winner among its competitors. While there are models that promise a long battery life and there are others that deliver a waterproof model, the MB4040 dares to deliver both. It is unarguably the best cordless beard trimmer.
Benefits: Vitamin E is both a nutrient and antioxidant that promotes collagen and elastin production, is used to treat sunburns, relieves chapped lips and cold sores, and stimulates hair growth while repairing split ends.
Sleep is also essential for a properly nourished body—all the way down to the hairs on your chin. Collyer says that 7-8 hours nightly is imperative. Cellular turnover accelerates while we sleep, meaning that most of the growing and healing your body does happen overnight. You're not giving your healthier, stronger cells a fighting chance if you deprive them of rest and recharge. Similarly, the body's blood flow slows when it is poorly rested, and this lack of circulation means that fewer nutrients and vitamins reach their destination. (Similar to being dehydrated.) Since the hair doesn't get as many nutrients, it doesn't grow as fast or as strong. In fact, this can also lead to hair loss atop your head in addition to a compromised beard. (Side note: Why not magnify the benefits to your skin with a night cream?)
Hey Richard, here's the deal. With beard trimmers you don't want to go above 12 mm – 15 mm because at that point, hairs don't have enough strength to stand up on their own and you won't be able to produce a nice, even trim. You pretty much have to incorporate a comb at longer lengths. (Using a thick comb will be easier.)
Lucky Scruff has some night products also, esp the hand made soap for beards. He offers 3 different kinds right now. The beard oils, while the 3 on his main page I didn't care for, the beard of the month club has some better ones. (Scent wise, the conditioning aspects of the main oils are awesome, but I like the oils that have a scent and I found no scent in the 3 samples)
Hi Sagar. Wash your face with The Mod Cabin's birch tar or amber resin soap, then apply backwoods beard balm and comb through it with our boars hair beard brush. Also make sure you are getting enough water in your diet and you may also want to look for a biotin supplement to help your facial hair grow in thicker. The Mod Cabin's beard kit is a great way to start.
Generally the "cheek line", the upper limit of the beard on the cheeks, is best left natural. Some men butcher otherwise excellent beards by shaving the cheeks into strange shapes. Unless your beard appears to be starting just below your eyes, you probably are better off not shaving or sculpting the beard on your cheeks.
Want to learn how to apply beard balm like a boss? Not sure what beard balm is? For starters, beard balm is a control/styling product for your beard that is made up of waxes, butters, and oils. It's a cross between beard oil and mustache wax. It can go by a couple of other names including beard wax and beard butter.
Growing a beard is a lot less daunting than it seems at first and much easier than regrowing hair on your head. After all, you're a man. You're biologically programmed to grow a beard. While the characteristics of your beard will vary from other men, because we're all unique, it's still important to remember that you can do it. Even if it takes longer to grow your beard than it took your best friend to grow his, you can still do it. And being calm about the whole thing will prevent hair loss and allow your hair to grow at its normal rate.
Long Battery Life: At 3 hours, this beard trimmer has a longer-lasting battery life than any other cordless trimmer we have reviewed. If that's something that's a priority for you, then this trimmer is definitely one to consider.
This men's beard trimmer is a product that could be rightfully tagged as "one for all". Possibly containing no cons, the only discomfort that could bother the users is, understanding the different attachments.

Housing New Zealand's Board was impressed with the quality of work being done for its tenants when it undertook a visit to Dunedin and Christchurch recently.
Many of the Board are relatively new to the organisation and valued the chance to meet with staff and stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the work the organisation does for its tenants and communities.
Board Deputy Chair Vui Mark Gosche said it was a wonderful opportunity to hear from staff and stakeholders.
"Hearing from our people, about their on the ground experience, was fantastic and we really enjoyed the opportunity."

Photo of the Day Wed 30 May
Almost the end of the month, time goes too fast. Not enough hours in the day, and not enough days in the week. The photo today stays in Colombia and it is again from the town of Santa Marta on the Caribbean coast. The photo is of one of the many food sellers who line the seaside promenade at night. He was one of many sellers out that evening, with the local people out relaxing on the promenade, it was a nice way to end the day. Again not something that you would expect from South America. But Colombia is surprising, and in a good way too.
Happy not to be working at the Quality Spa Resort Hotel in Norefjell. Another photo tomorrow.

Our line-following Robots family!!!
Line following Robots are typically used in competitions as a way to test the functionality and dynamics of a robotic system. They also come up rapidly into industry and warehouses to replace vehicles on rails and vehicle drivers in many cases.
Within the last 2 years, we have designed and constructed 3 robots, capable of performing fast and accurate line following, using software that we created on our own . The construction process involved 3D-printing and PCB-Fabrication , all carried out in our Lab at University of Patras.
The PCB and 3D files along with a sample line following code are available at the Dromeas git repository.

Madeline Kenney – Signals
Shout out to Chaz Bundick for the heads up on the latest signee to his label Company Records, Oakland's Madeline Kenney, and her forthcoming new EP, recorded with Chaz in his Berkeley studio. Madeline's bandcamp bio says of her self-described "twang-hazy dream pop": "It's like if Loretta Lynn had a secret shoegaze project and an obsession with a looper pedal". A lofty description for sure, but it checks out on the EP's lovely, radiant title track, which you can stream in all its bittersweet melancholy below. Madeline Kenney's Signals EP is out this week. If you're in SF, you can get the EP on cassette at Madeline's release show at Bottom of the Hill this Friday night:

Bulacan gov't brings together local and international dancers
By: PPAO
Friday, 29 April 2011
CITY OF MALOLOS- The Provincial Government of Bulacan (PGB) pull together dancers from other countries and Filipino performers for the much awaited Dance Xchange: The Philippine International Dance Workshop and Festival dubbed as "Cultural Connectivity through Dance" in SM City Marilao, Bulacan on April 29, 2011 at 1 pm.
Aside from promoting cultural exchange and understanding, the Dance Xchange also aims to: 1) provide venue for interaction and facilitate learning among dancers, directors, dance teachers, choreographers, Physical Education teachers and dance scholars; 2) establish an international event which will become a cultural destination for foreign artists; 3) provide new ideas and inspiration that will stimulate the creativity of the dance educators, directors and choreographers; 4) showcase different dance forms by foreign and local dancers; and 5) strengthen network among dance organizations and dance directors.
Among the participants who are going to showcase their talents are performers from Hongkong, Brunei, South Cotabato, Zamboanga, Bacolod and Batangas.
The Dance Xchange will have activities such as dance competition, artists forum, masters classes, dance workshops and festival of performances.
The event was made possible through the Provincial Youth, Sports, Employment, Arts, Culture and Tourism Office (PYSEACTO) and the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts (NCCA) as part of the celebration of the International Dance Day 2011.
This international dance festival is in accordance with Presidential Proclamation No. 154, declaring the last week of April as the "National Dance Week" and considered as one of the banner projects of the NCAA. ###

Award-winning actress Deepika Padukone opens up about her depression in an emotionally raw video for the Indian mental health organization The Live Love Laugh Foundation, which she founded.
Padukone's story was first posted anonymously on The Live Love Laugh Foundation channel along with five other survivor stories two days ago. The videos blurred the participant's faces while presenting the question "Should he/she be ashamed?" at the end of each video.
Today, for World Mental Health Day, the foundation has released all the videos with their faces and names uncovered to show those suffering from mental health that they should never be ashamed.
Using the tagline #NotAshamed, Padukone bravely shares the difficulties of living with depression to fight the stigmas around mental health in society. This video is the first time she has gone into such detail about her struggles. Padukone speaks of how difficult it is to even get out of bed to face the day and how she still fears the sound of the alarm clock every morning. She constantly worried about breaking down at any minute so she was hyper-aware of her surroundings. Her work would keep her days occupied but her fears never dissipated.
Padukone explains how she would even over-compensated for her sadness by trying to keep those around her happy even when she was hurting inside. It was exhausting faking her happiness around others and she emotionally shares how it would eat away at her.
Padukone didn't know what to name how she felt but the actress knew it wasn't right. With mental health not being at the forefront in our society, it never crossed her mind that she could have depression. Since being diagnosed with depression, Padukone has been open about her struggle, she remains a powerful advocate of mental health awareness.
The Live Love Laugh Foundation offers information about stress, depression and anxiety, educational resources like scholarly articles, community resources like local programs regarding mental health and even helps connect Indians with therapists.
The stigmas against mental health prevent people from speaking about their problems and getting the professional help they need. By sharing her story Padukone hopes to show all those suffering from mental health issues that she is #NotAshamed and they shouldn't be either.

Circa 1940-1942: It's not often I call a piece of Homer Laughlin pottery "rare", but these Vintage Harlequin candleholders in the original Mauve glaze fit the bill. They are rare indeed. Anyone that enjoys collecting the sister pottery of Fiesta wares will rejoice at adding these to their collection. Banded with concentric rings around the body and footed with a classic art deco stair step, the subtle design elements come together in a perfect manner. This pair is in perfect collector quality condition without any damage and as always, no chips, cracks, touchups or repairs. Please note some heavy glaze in the creases of the stairstep base (very common in this piece). The dry foot is clean and the insides look unused and the finiky Mauve glaze is well dipped and displays perfectly.

The top thing on every list of things to do in Hong Kong is visiting Victoria Peak. So that was top of my list! To get there, I took the metro to Central Station and then walked up to the lower tram station. I was there late morning, and line was already snaking around the front of the building, but it only took about a half hour to get through the line. Plus, I got to hang out with Vin Diesel, so I'm pretty much in the Fast and the Furious now.
To get to the top of the peak you ride a tram. There is a small museum that talks about the history of the tram, which has been in use for 130 years.
At the top you're dropped off in a building that has several souvenir shops and restaurants. Along with a Madame Tussauds, if you feel the urge to look at candle versions of your favorite stars. You have to take the escalator up a couple of floors to get access to the outside, and then walk around the building for a minute. But once you find the view, it's amazing!
You get to look down at the whole bay of Hong Kong! And from this vantage point you can really see the number of high-rises in the city. In fact, Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world!
There are several places to enjoy the view, including a deck area, complete with moon gate.
And a two-story gazebo. (Word to the wise, go down to the bottom floor of the gazebo, there are far less people down there, so your chances for a great picture are better.)
There is a path that you can walk down instead of riding the tram. I didn't walk all the way down, but I did spend some time on the path, just enjoying the landscape. I hadn't previously realized how tropical the climate here is. I just wasn't expecting to see so many palms. Oddly, it made me want to go back to Hawaii.
After spending quite a while on the peak, I took the tram back down the mountain. This time I paid a bit more attention to the angle the tram travels at by looking at the buildings next to the tracks. When you …really look at, it's pretty surreal!
By the time I came off the mountain the line for the tram was so long that they had moved the bulk of it across the street to a large staging area. I think the earlier the better on this one.
My next stop was St. John's cathedral, which is the oldest ecclesiastic church in Hong Kong, built in 1849. This church has been serving the people of Hong Kong since that time and is still very active.
I loved the dark wood of the ceiling, which made it feel cooler inside than the temperature outside.
Near the cathedral I came across a small park called Cheung Kong Park. I saw some complaints online that the park is man-made. To that I would like to respond with a resounding "no duh". If you looked at the rocks here and thought those were formed in nature, well that's your own fault. Even still, that park is freaking magical! The sounds of city fade almost completely away, there are a ton of song birds just singing their little hearts out, the flowers are in bloom, and there's a waterfall! A waterfall for goodness sake! I could have spent all day in this jewel!
Along the way I also explored the larger Hong Kong Park which is very near Central Station. This park was a little less magical, but still lovely! And I saw the cutest little finch that flew away before I could get a picture of it.
I headed back to the Mong Kok area of the city and to the Ladies Market. Back in the olden days people used to illegally hawk goods on the street to make money. In 1975 the Hong Kong government set up 20 different zones called "authorized hawkering zones", and Ladies Market is one of them. Originally this area mainly catered to women's fashion and accessories. Now they have everything from backpacks and suitcases, to jade carvings, works of art, and your more popular souvenirs.
The market stretches for about four blocks and is a pedestrian only zone most of the time. It is easy to get lost and enthralled with the stalls up on stalls of items to buy! Although I spent quite a lot of time perusing the stalls, I am proud to say that I only bought one thing. You may applaud my fortitude.
From there I found something to eat and headed back to the Airbnb. I was amazed at how many people were just walking around the area. The streets were packed!
As you might know, Hong Kong was a territory of England for 150 years, until 1997. It's been fun to see the small influences that are still left here. For instance, they drive on the left side of street, even though the rest of China drives on the right. Their streets have notes painted at intersections telling pedestrians which way to look for traffic before crossing. They even use the same outlets as the ones in England. And half the subway stop names are western. Having recently been to London, it's so fun to spot those little things!
This morning I found an English-speaking church to attend. After traveling for so long without being able to go to church, it was an absolute delight and so refreshing!
Currently I am having my clothes washed, as I was down to my last shirt. I thought I'd be spending the majority of my day hanging out in a laundromat, but it turns out that here you just drop off the clothes. They wash the them and then you pick them up at a designated time. I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda weird having someone I don't know wash my unmentionables. But it also makes me feel like a fancy, fancy lady!
Tomorrow I'll be checking out of the Airbnb and moving out of the heart of the city to the Disney Resort. Hong Kong Disneyland, here I come!

Hermant Mehta is in a position to know better than most people whether sexism is rampant within the skeptic community. So, I'm guessing he might be right, despite that the relative handful of skeptics I myself know are overwhelmingly non-sexists. But, if Mehta is right, why are there so many sexists among skeptics? That seems to be a real puzzler."Unfortunately, it [sexism] is [rampant within the skeptic community]. I say this from my own experiences within it, hearing stories from friends, etc." -- Hemant Mehta, aka "The Friendly Atheist".
Any ideas?

Millenials preferences about self-driving cars are miles apart from baby boomers: Carnegie Mellon University
Published: February 23, 2015 | Pittsburgh, CA
The survey, which polled 1,000 persons between the ages of 18 – 70, reveals that age seems to affect the features that consumers seek in self-driving cars and influence lifestyle changes as people gain more hands-free time in their vehicles. Across all age groups polled, respondents identified the following features as those they would ideally like to see in self-driving cars:
Top Consumer's Picks
- Self-adjusting performance based on weather conditions
- Self-parking to find a space
- Driver fatigue warning
- TV or computer in the dashboard
- Active visual display of car safety features
- Virtual valet to avoid the rain (car picks you up)
- Voice command for the visually impaired
Although "self-adjusting performance based on weather conditions" was the overall top response, it ranked higher with people aged 36 to 70. The youngest respondents (18-24) and the oldest (66-70) at 64% were closely matched in wanting cars that can find elusive parking spots. When it comes to fancying a TV or computer in the dashboard, virtual valet and an active visual display of car safety features, 18 to 24 year olds want these options more than other age groups.
The survey also explores the differences between how boomers and Millennials would use their time in the car when freed from the steering wheel. People aged 18 to 24 ranked the highest in their proclivity to eat lunch and work in their cars. In fact, people under 35 opted the most (37%) to have their cars designed as an office. Interestingly, data revealed that the desire to work in cars lessened sequentially with increasing age. While Millennials indicate interest in working, they also showed the greatest affinity in cars designed to host great mobile parties.
So what else do people want to do in cars? Seniors aged 66-70 are most likely to read (51%), and those 18 – 24 are the second most likely to pick up a book. Respondents aged 25 to 35 are the most inclined to watch movies and put on makeup. Counterintuitively, while people routinely drink coffee on the go, only 8 percent of the people polled want coffee makers in their cars, and those most in favor of in-car java were 35 and under.
Regarding safety, higher percentages of drivers aged 46 to 70 consider these scenarios safer with self-driving technology: night driving, driving unfamiliar roads, navigating congested roads, merging traffic situations, and interstate travel. People under 35 think daytime driving and taxis would be made safer.

Hi folks,
If you're like me you like to binge read a series. I think my first real binge read was Lord of the Rings, way back in the late 60's. I know I've done it many times since. Lately I've noticed a few folks must be binging on my Children of the Goddess series. Yes, every heroine in that series was used, abused, and bullied, and more in the beginning. Most of us were, so I guess I put a bit more of myself into those books than I thought.
Curious? Find them here starting with Lady Blue.
Okay, I'll confess, there's a story arc that plays out over all seven books, but each book has a satisfactory conclusion, no cliffhangers. So, happy binging.
Until next time

Confederations Cup Social Diary: Ronaldo makes fan's day with Australia on the tiles
Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo assumed his familiar position of centre stage on day five of the Confederations Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the Confederations Cup 2017 and collected a second man-of-the-match award after Portugal overcame hosts Russia 1-0 in Moscow.
In Wednesday's other Group A game, New Zealand threatened to cause a sensation when Chris Wood gave them a half-time lead against Mexico at Fisht Stadium.
But goals from Raul Jimenez and Oribe Peralta turned the contest around, while an unseemly melee involving both sets of players also set tongues wagging
Drama on the Black Sea coast, the afternoon in Russia's capital belonged to one man, who paid tribute to his team-mates on Instagram.
Ronaldo also made the day of young fan Polina Haeredinova at Spartak Stadium, a lovely touch.
"@Cristiano was outstanding. He gave me his coat and kissed me for luck." #RUSPOR #ConfedCup
