Officials in Mexico City say that there are 40,000 kinds of bacteria living in the globs of gum discarded on sidewalks, statues, and plazas in the Mexican capital, including E. coli, Proteus, and Salmonella. Removing the gum stuck to the pavement along Francisco I. Madero Avenue, the most famous pedestrian street in the capital, is a constant struggle. Workers armed with heavy-duty dry vapor steam guns are deployed overnight. During a recent three-day assault, a 15-person team removed 11,000 pieces of sticky litter from the avenue.

After listing his house in 2011 and again in 2014, and again in 2018, former Dallas Cowboy's head coach Wade Phillips is ready to be a landlord, again.
Phillips' first listed his Preston Hollow home at 6115 Norway Road after he departed Dallas for Houston in 2011 (he's now the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams). Built in the Hill Country style by Ryan Osborne, Phillips and his family were the first occupants of the home when they purchased it for $2.75 million in 2007.
Allie Beth Allman has been his Realtor of choice throughout – even for the purchase of the home. The property was listed for $3,295,000 in 2011, and then for $2.95 million in 2014. It was leased for $15,000 in 2015, according to MLS records, and then was placed back on the market in January 2018 for $2.95 million before having a price reduction in October 2018 for $2.85 million, and then one more about a week ago to $2.75 million.
The home is for lease once again for $15,000 a month, and is still for sale as well.
Back in 2011, Candy broke the news that the home had been listed, and described some of the home's features. (more…)

Tavares is a city in Lake County, Florida that's home to nearly 16,000 people. The city was founded in 1880 and was eventually incorporated in 1919. Tavares is often referred to as "America's Seaplane City" because of its public-use seaplane base on Lake Dora. Whether you're in town to visit the seaplane base, the seaplane-themed splash park, or the newly established entertainment district, you'll find plenty to do in Tavares! It just so happens that, in the abundance of recreational opportunities in Tavares, there are several dog-friendly activities, including restaurants and parks.
Central Tavares is a neighborhood in Tavares known for being a hub of activity, and it's the place to be if you're looking for exciting dining, shopping, and other recreational opportunities. It's located on the northern shore of Lake Dora, so walking around the neighborhood with your dog on a leash is a fun way to spend some time. You'll also want to stop into Ruby Street Grille for a bite to eat and a refreshing beverage. This indoor/outdoor restaurant has a large deck where dogs are welcome to accompany their owner while they dine on dishes like turkey sandwiches or fish and chips. When it comes time to find an off-leash activity, there are several of those in and around Tavares, too!

One of the most obvious dilemmas Australia's fashion industry faces is the fact it's located in the southern hemisphere. This means opposing seasons for an industry that revolves around seasons, and it also means a difference in weather. When we are swanning our way around Sydney in T-shirts and shorts, Europe and America are rugging up in their winter woolies.
But Australia's isolation has its advantages. Because big name fashion labels don't produce garments with the southern hemisphere in mind, Aussies turn to labels like Oxford, because we cater for our native consumers. We know Australian men, we know Australian styles, and we know Australian weather. In other words, we know what fashion is right for you.
We've still got a few months of chill ahead of us, so keep these trends in mind when rugging up this winter.
The colour that had people turning heads at this year's runway shows was rich, orangey-brown shades of copper. Mixed with an off white it gives a fresh autumn look to your cooler weather wear. Worn as a wool coat against a black or dark navy suit it's a genius combination.
Image source: GQ UK
While your girlfriend might not love you heading out to lunch in a pair of loose and slouchy jogging pants, the fashion world will hail you for it. Flared, loose woollen trousers are all the rage, and as such, they are turning up at even the most sophisticated of events. Just make sure you wear them wide at the thigh and foot. Pair with a blazer or bomber jacket or with a sleeveless puffer vest.
Suitable for the mild Australian winter, a knitted jumper will give you the slightly warmer layer of insulation you will likely need, plus it's bang on trend. The right knit can add a contemporary twist to your workwear, whilst offering a level of casual sophistication when paired with jeans and boots. Casually thrown over a shirt or T-shirt, slipped over suit or slouch pants it's an extremely versatile piece of clothing that every man should own.
One of the season's biggest trends has to be checked prints, which is great news for us Aussies. We've favoured the checked print flanno for years! Checks are popping up everywhere this year, and not just as a flannelette shirt. Jumpers, T-shirts, pants, collared shirts, even shoes are sporting checks, and this is one look that shouldn't be ignored.
Bomber jackets are nothing new, but they are getting louder and bolder. This year's runways saw jackets crafted out of luxurious leathers, velvets and wools, and many featured intricate hand embroidered embellishments or interesting badges sewn on the surface. Simple to wear with anything, the embellished bomber jacket is an absolute must this winter.
For those not-so-cold winter days when a big woolen scarf might be too warm, the neckerchief is your next best option. Essentially it's a square bandana wrapped around your neck; a good way to add a pop of colour or a complementary touch to an otherwise standard outfit. Learn how to nail a neckerchief here.
Shoes have always been a bit chunkier come autumn/winter, but this year they are chunkier than ever. Whether wearing a lace-up loafer or a suede sneaker, look for something with a thick, stacked and rubber-soled. It's all in the detail this winter, so don't be afraid of buckles or fringing.
Move over roll necks, there's a new(ish) neckline in town. Introducing, the funnel neck. Slightly lower than a turtleneck, this neckline, which first came to our attention a few years ago, features either a slip-over form or zip to create a funnel-like look. Importantly it doesn't strangle like a turtle neck, and it doesn't look as heavy and structured as a roll neck. Instead it flops insouciantly, creating interest and giving a sneaky peak at the nape of your neck. Pair with jeans for a modern look.
While hand stitched embroidered bomber jackets are a hit this year, so too is tough outerwear. What that means is you should start looking for pieces that wouldn't look out of place on a tour of duty. Think jungle jackets, parkas and olive green bomber jackets – masculine, rugged and uncompromising. A strong coat is all you need to really speak to this trend; team one with a simple black crew neck T-shirt and some skinny black jeans for a classic, utilitarian look.
So there you have it. The top 9 trends you need to know about this Winter. Not stocked up on the latest styles? Get your fix from Oxford.

So it seems that Google has declared its hand as far as virtual Reality is concerned. At the Cannes Lion Festival the global giant says it is developing technology that will bring VR to the forefront of our lives. They've created a VR experience that they have been testing which apparently involves sharks and jumping off huge heights. Sounds scary. They then look at how the senses react and how this lines up with the feeling of being somewhere else. It's mind boggling stuff akin to the classic Schwarzenegger film Total Recall. Actually, with Google's self driving cars project not dissimilar to Johnny Cabs, I wonder whether the company isn't a little obsessed with this early 90s classic. Will we see Clay Bavor, who heads Google's VR project, pull a golf ball out of his nose at the next Cannes Festival? Perhaps.
What's really interesting is the potential of VR and how it will influence and change the way things work in this world. Bavor believes that VR is going to touch everything, with the ability to put you anywhere, to put you in a different space, to create an object in front of you that as far as you can tell it's really there.
Imagine being in the market for a house and being able to view it without actually going to see it in the flesh. Imagine sitting with your loved ones when they were 20 years younger . Imagine experiencing a holiday to Thailand without stepping on a plane. The possibilities are endless.
I love the idea but there's no substitute for the real thing. I just hope that they don't handcuff me to the chair before they put the helmet on my head.

There have been times when I'm teaching that I find myself doing quite a fascinating in-depth study of whatever question asked of me. The child, on the other hand, has lost me a long time ago and wonders how a simple question needed 10 minutes of explanation! Today was such a day.
I began my phonics class by going over the double consonant rule: When a word ends in ck or a double consonant, you say the sound only once. I used the words "duck" and "tell"--I wasn't too concerned with the ck part of the rule, but focused more on the double consonants. I told them that double just meant 2 of something; like twins (we have a set of fraternal twins).This is basically the conversation I had with my students:
One my students piped up, "I'm a twin!"
"No, you're not." I said, "Twins are born at the same time."
Another one claimed to be a twin to his sister. Oh, my, now what?
"You and your sister are not twins. Twins are babies who were in their mother's tummy at the same time. You are older than your sister." I then talked about the twins in the first grade and how they are both the same age.
The same student than looks behind him and says, "He's my twin! We're both 4!" OH, MY.
"He is not your twin because he isn't even your brother." I was stressing again that twins were born at the same time from the same mom, when I just stopped mid-explanation. Do they really need to have double consonants compared to twins???
"Class, when you have two of the same letters, you say the sound only once."
We went back to our examples on the board and on our seatwork--they did fine, and I probably could have used my breath for some other problem :)

A former Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) employee has come out to say that he had warned the fund about a payment error that amounted to N$800 000 paid to rejected 17 students but was kicked out of the institution as a result with no follow ups made.
Phius Petrus discloses to this publication that he had been working for over two years as a temporary award officer, IT specialist and system developer.
He says during his tenure; a horde of students had been disgruntled by the lack of payments which compromised their exams.
Legitimate beneficiaries of funds were having their names linked to accounts that were not theirs which caused confusion, Petrus says.
Upon realising the error in the mix-up, Petrus said he had several meetings with management but he was rather threatened instead of making a follow up.
He alleges that some students went to the extent of threatening to fight him due to frustration as a result of non-payments of their promised NSFAF funds.
"It's what made me understand that I can't have peace with my managers or supervisors because students were giving me pressure and my managers (were) not taking any action on those students. Instead of them taking action on who paid that wrong amount, they were attacking me for following up," he says.
Afraid of being beaten up by irate students, Petrus tells this publication that he offered to be relieved of his duties as temporary award officer.
He also says that he was made to lie to the students to create a semblance of normalcy.
He also reveals that all this rot was unfolding under the watch of suspended NSFAF CEO Hilya Nghiwete but has shied from revealing the names of supervisors he reported to.
NSFAF yesterday issued a public statement distancing itself from Petrus without any background information as to why it was doing so.
Says Petrus, "I checked on that post that people forwarded to me and also on their website, but they deleted it after I wrote to them that no, what you are doing (will make me to) even reveal more because that's not only the (info) that I have."
"I have many issues and you know about it. You're putting my name and picture on the statement on the website without making any sense because (you) are just saying this Phius (is) our former employee so nobody should be confused by him. Confused by him regarding what?" he queries.
If by the public statement NSFAF was countering what was being said about the payment errors, Petrus says there has to be evidence to prove that.
"I said guys if you have issues with me, let's arrange a meeting where we will prove each other that this is what happened. And why are you saying that I am tarnishing your name if it is true?" he queries.
Petrus adds that the fund warned him that if he were to blow the whistle on the payment error, they would not renew his contract which led to his exit.
He also says that NSFAF has lied that it has managed to pay back the students: "I have records of these students and some journalists contacted me yesterday. Their money is not yet sorted and some of them are only paid half but what they are telling the public is that they have managed to pay back all those students."
Although he wanted to go deeper with investigations on the faulty payments, he alleges that the fund stopped him right in his tracks.
"I went to the bank to get more detail of those receivers of the money but then banks could not allow me because I don't have a right to obtain that information. NSFAF stopped me and threatened me (against) following up," he says.
He says that he alerted the University of Namibia to look for details of students who were supposed to have benefited from the money as part of the process of rectifying the error.
Meanwhile NSFAF sources close to this publication have alleged that Petrus was dismissed from duties after the fund discovered he had awarded payments to himself, allegations he has denied.
Petrus said that he had documented proof that management was aware of the erroneous payments, but is only willing to disclose them in the presence of the Namibian Police.
NSFAF acting chief executive officer, Kennedy Kandume did not respond to questions sent to him via email by the time of publication.
The University of Namibia's communications officer requested time to inquire for more into the matter and see who was involved with the NSFAF inquiry.

On October 30th, I released the third edition of my book, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day.
If there's one constant in travel, it's that it is forever changing. And so the tips and prices I wrote in the last edition, which only came out two years ago, are out of date. So much has changed! In the latest edition of my New York Times best-selling book, I show you how to travel cheaper, longer, and smarter with all my updated tips, tricks, and travel hacks. You'll get over 40 new pages of content in addition. It also has more of a global perspective to help non-Americans, couples, and families travel better!
Money is the primary reason why most people don't travel as much as they want, and this book will help save you money on trips for the rest of your life.
To celebrate the new edition, I decided to give away $18,250 in cash to someone who bought a copy of the book. Since the contest was announced, I've had a number of questions from readers about the rules and requirements of the contest, so in today's quick update, I'm going to answer all your questions:
Why isn't this contest open to everyone?
Unfortunately, this contest is only open to those in the US and Canada. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the book is really only available in these countries. It's not sold overseas directly via my publisher. Sure, you can order anything from Amazon, but that's not through my publisher. Since the book is only physically sold here, we decided to only open the contest to where you can walk into a bookstore and purchase the book.
I didn't think it would be that big of a deal but, after seeing everyone's reactions when we started this, my publisher and I did look into opening it up worldwide. However, every country has its own contest rules, and it's very hard to create rules that would apply to every country in the world. It's just not possible to do without running afoul of lots of local laws and, in the end, was rejected by their legal department.
Why can't you just open it up to everyone on your own? Why does a publisher need to be involved?
Honestly, I thought about it. But if I strike out on my own, I lose my publisher's stellar legal team, and since, oddly, a lot of people have complained this contest is "illegal" (it's not), I can't afford to lose their legal shield should someone try to go after me.
Thus we, thanks to some annoying people on the web, must keep the contest restricted to Americans and Canadians.
Do I have to be a citizen or a resident of these countries?
A legal, tax-paying resident.
Quebec is part of Canada. Why can't people in Quebec participate?
Quebec has its own rules regarding contests, requiring that they must be done in both French and English. Since this is not in French, the contest isn't valid there. It's very common to have contests that exclude Quebec.
Is this illegal?
No. This is not sweepstakes, lottery, or giveaway. Your 500-word essay entry will be read and judged. This makes it a contest as it is a skills-based test and thus fully legal, except in the states that don't allow this, which are mentioned in our terms and conditions. Void where prohibited and all.
Does buying it on Kindle count?
I bought the old edition. Does that count?
No. You need to purchase the new edition within the contest window in order to be eligible.
Can I screenshot my receipt? The rules are unclear.
Yes, a screenshot of your order email is fine. Often, order forms have information we aren't collecting and our rules meant to say we didn't want that information, just your order info. But we were unclear. Sorry about that.
Why does Amazon say this book came out in 2015? Is this the new edition?
Yes, the third edition is the new edition. Here's the long boring story: We did what is called a "soft relaunch." This book has the same ISBN number (basically a book's social security number) as the old edition. So since it doesn't have a new ISBN, it's considered by Amazon to have the same published date. We added some stuff in the description of the book to indicate it is the new edition, but that's all I can do. I assure you the third edition is brand-spanking new!
Does this trip have to be continuous travel?
Good question — and yes. You get a monthly stipend so long as you are on the road. You can't go travel for a few weeks, come back, go again, come back, and go again. This money can only be used on the trip you are going on once you leave your house. Once you come back, the trip is considered over.
How will I receive the money?
You'll get monthly deposits into your bank account.
Where can I go if I win?
Anywhere you want!
I hope that answers your questions. You can leave more in the comment section. I'll be happy to answer them there!
And if you'd like a chance to win $18,250 and head around the world, you can click here to see the rules, enter, and hope Christmas comes early and you win! The contest runs through November 30th.
Enter between October 30, 2017 and November 30, 2017. Open to US residents and Canadian residents (excluding Quebec), 18 and older. Void where prohibited or restricted by law. See Official Rules at nomadicmatt.com for full details.

Are Books LIFEBLOOD To Authors?
BY: Vineeta Sehgal
Books hold a very special place in the lives of all human beings, from all strata of life, since time immemorial. The invention of paper in China brought about a revolution in the world of books. Books give us an insight into the best of our brains, they make us perceive, feel and imagine the world through their eyes. They are the life blood of the authors and the manifestations of their personality, beliefs, and ideology. They hold a mirror to the contemporary society, as well as reflect the past traditions and culture of the people.
No great work can be produced in isolation. It is said that pen is mightier than the sword. Far greater battles had been won not on battlefields, but on home turf, inspired by some of the mightiest minds. Karl Marx's Das Capital, had revolutionized the world, Machiavelli had redefined politics and turned it murkier. Books had boosted the sagging spirits of a demoralized section of society when Tulsidas in his epic Ramcharitmanas, handed over bow and arrow in the hands of Lord Rama to assure the masses that he is a warrior and he can protect them.
Books can be divided into three categories: books of the hour, like news papers, which have a very short shelf life; the second books are of the era, which engage our attention for a short, but more elongated time; in the third category we put books of all times. They have direct access to the mind of the reader, that leaves an undeniable imprint upon them. All scholarly works of the great masters like Dante, Homer, Virgil, Kautilya, Kalidas, Milton, Shakespeare and many others, offer insights into the past that moulds our present and hold promises of a bright future.
Books are the best companions of a person.

I read somewhere that the neurochemical pathways for pain and for depression are almost identical. What I saw on inpatient psychiatry were a lot of patients suffering both from chronic pain and from depression. The two seem to go together.
One day I was talking with a friend who was very upset because her son was suicidal. In the past, he had sometimes been depressed but never suicidal. Then she said that he was a construction worker and a few days previously had sustained a lower-back injury in a construction accident and was in severe pain. It has been my observation that the pain triggers for depression are lower back injuries and chronic pain. In other words, a terrible toothache or acute heartburn don't seem to trigger depression.
The depression is not about the pain, which is how most doctors treat it. It is not the idea of pain that you are depressed about. The pain causes the depression in the same way that an abscessed tooth causes pain. They are inseparable cause-and-effect issues, therefore the way to heal the depression is to eliminate the pain. Aggressively treat the pain and the depression will heal itself.
These ruminations come to you today courtesy of an injury I suffered when I pulled a muscle in my hip on Monday morning. By Monday afternoon it seemed all better so I went to my exercise class. Tuesday morning, it hurt. By Wednesday morning I was in terrible pain and by Wednesday afternoon I was paralyzed by depression.
I have long maintained that depression is a social disease that should not be treated with medicine. This is one of the few exceptions in which I think depression arises from the body, not the mind, but again the medical treatment should not be primarily for the depression but for the pain. However, I would support limited, short-term use of antidepressants, which might be very helpful in alleviating the depression while working on the pain.
Antidepressant manufacturers and the FDA agree that antidepressants should only be used for six months. So why are physicians keeping patients on antidepressants for years at a time? And why aren't they being disciplined and sued for prescribing antidepressants in violation of their intended usage?
You should work aggressively to identify and eliminate the source of your pain, with the expectation that your depression will then clear up.
As for me—I will stay off my feet, use a heating pad, take aspirin and expect to feel better in a couple days.

The weather condition can be much better forecasted in the future if expert system were made use of. If we utilize it on phones, for commonplace features, why not utilize its genuine possibility?
The moment you made use of to enjoy on TELEVISION is no more a resource of depend on when you wish to know if you require to take the umbrella with you when you leave house. Every person has actually poked fun at the weather prediction on tv, however most of us recognize that today they are better than the last 20 years.
Currently, just the climate applications on your phone currently supply extra near-reality projections (like Google or Huawei). Or else, it is a wild-goose chase, for numerous factors, not always of human mistakes, however of systemic ones.
Normally, climate can not be precisely forecasted for greater than 7 to 10 days. And also, anyhow, not 100%. A weather prediction for a week has an integrity degree of no greater than 80% (if the information has actually been taken as well as determined appropriately).
A five-day projection can be attributed with 90%. The much shorter the duration, the far better the weather condition. The environment modifications from one hr to the following, so climate needs to be checked at all times.
Exactly how to "determine" the weather condition today
Meteorologists (accredited) are currently making use of a collection of sensing units, satellites, computer systems and also devices to determine climate condition. In the old days, individuals just made use of fundamental tools such as thermostats, measures, as well as anemometers (which determine the rate of the wind), yet today they did not surrender.
They are enhanced by constant satellite tracking or advanced tools set up on climate balloons that gauge temperature level, air pressure, wind rate as well as instructions in each layer of the environment.
Hence, meteorologists get consistent information that can anticipate the weather condition at any kind of offered time.
One of the most innovative tools today are the NOAA (United States National Oceanic and also Atmospheric Administration) satellites – established in the United States by previous United States President Richard Nixon.
NOAA utilizes 3 sorts of atmospheric satellites as well as several of them orbit around the Earth at an elevation of over one million kilometers. They have the duty of gauging the solar power taken in by the ambience of our world each day. Many thanks to these satellites, we understand just how much the ozone layer is influenced by greenhouse gases.
Exactly how could the weather condition be anticipated with expert system?
A lot of the moment, atmospheric mistakes schedule today as well as to the substantial quantity of information the professionals need to determine. Certain, computer systems are made use of, however, as I stated, they are not 100% reliable.
And also in many cases, those portions that do not make 100% integrity might suggest threatening individuals leaving the sea, pilots, soldiers as well as private citizens in case of an impending tornado or calamity.
If these computer systems were aided by expert system, not just would you have the ability to review a far better weather prediction, yet the weather condition would certainly no more provide migraines to markets based on its understanding.
The AI enables information to be accumulated a lot quicker and also can be bought as well as determined a lot more exactly.

Ahmad Shāh Durrānī (c. 1722 – 16 October 1772) (Pashto: احمد شاه دراني), also known as Ahmad Khān Abdālī (احمد خان ابدالي), was the founder of the Durrani
Durrani Empire and is regarded as the founder of the modern state of Afghanistan.[1][2][3][4] He began his career by enlisting as a young soldier in the military of the Afsharid kingdom and quickly rose to become a commander of the Abdali Regiment, a cavalry of four thousand Abdali Pashtun soldiers.[5] After the assassination of Nader Shah
Nader Shah Afshar in 1747, Ahmad Shah Durrani
Durrani was chosen as King of Afghanistan. Rallying his Afghan tribes and allies, he pushed east towards the Mughal and the Maratha empires of India, west towards the disintegrating Afsharid Empire of Persia, and north toward the Khanate of Bukhara. Within a few years, he extended his control from Khorasan in the west to Kashmir
Kashmir and North India
India in the east, and from the Amu Darya
Amu Darya in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south.[3][6] Durrani's mausoleum is located at Kandahar, Afghanistan, adjacent to the Shrine of the Cloak
Shrine of the Cloak in the center of the city. Afghans often refer to him as Ahmad Shāh Bābā ("Ahmad Shah the Father").[2][7][8][9]

Nader Shah's rule abruptly ended in June 1747 when he was assassinated
by his own guards. The guards involved in the assassination did so
secretly so as to prevent the Abdalis from coming to their King's
rescue. However,
At the time of Nadir's death, he commanded a contingent of Abdali Pashtuns. Realizing that his life was in jeopardy if he stayed among the Persians who had murdered Nader Shah, he decided to leave the Persian camp, and with his 4,000 troops he proceeded to Qandahar. Along the way and by sheer luck, they managed to capture a caravan with booty from India. He and his troops were rich; moreover, they were experienced fighters. In short, they formed a formidable force of young Pashtun soldiers who were loyal to their high-ranking leader.[12]

Dzungars. In Semirechye the Kyrgyz and Kazakahs were forcibly driven
out by the Dzungars and the Kashgar Khanate was conquered. However,
the Dzungar Empire was annihilated by Qing China from 1755–1758 in a
formidable assault, ending the Central Asian states danger from the
Dzungar menace.[48] Uighur Muslims like Emin Khoja from Turfan

The tomb of Ahmad Shah
Under the shimmering turquoise dome that dominates the sand-blown city
In his tomb his epitaph is written:
The King of high rank, Ahmad Shah Durrani, Was equal to Kisra in managing the affairs of his government. In his time, from the awe of his glory and greatness, The lioness nourished the stag with her milk. From all sides in the ear of his enemies there arrived A thousand reproofs from the tongue of his dagger. The date of his departure for the house of mortality Was the year of the Hijra 1186 (1772 A.D.)[55]
Durrani's victory over the Marathas influenced the history of the
subcontinent and, in particular, British policy in the region. His
refusal to continue his campaigns deeper into
His military courage and activity are spoken of with admiration, both by his own subjects and the nations with whom he was engaged, either in wars or alliances. He seems to have been naturally disposed to mildness and clemency and though it is impossible to acquire sovereign power and perhaps, in Asia, to maintain it, without crimes; yet the memory of no eastern prince is stained with fewer acts of cruelty and injustice. — Mountstuart Elphinstone
His successors, beginning with his son Timur and ending with Shuja
Shah Durrani, proved largely incapable of governing the last Afghan
empire and faced with advancing enemies on all sides. Much of the
territory conquered by Ahmad Shah fell to others by the end of the
19th century. They not only lost the outlying territories but also
alienated some

Leah Angstman at Alternating Current has put together a fabulous issue (and not just because one of my own poems appears in it) for Issue #4 of Poiesis. The poems range in intensity from loving and carefree to dark and foreboding. One poem blew my mind and I am going to let you know now that the only reason I did not include it was because it was just too long for me to try and type up. So you'll just have to nab a copy for yourself and I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about because it's based on a young man's controversial lifestyle. I had a hard time paring down the number of poems to share with you and I am thrilled to share a sample of them with you:
By: Alan Caitlan
His red taillights are like smashed
windshields, half moons of broken glass
beneath the skin; kicking open the passenger
side door, he invites you inside, says,
"Pull hard, it sticks sometimes." Pushes down
the gas pedal all the way, dual busted exhaust
pipes, jacked up high, rear springs too: inside,
rolling aluminum beer cans, overflowing ash tray,
smoldering, dropping live butts on grease
stained beyond-all-recognition floor mats,
says, "Like my dolly?" tickling the ass end
of a stuffed cloth blue gnome, its hard rubber
head lying on the hood, says, "Had an accident
with my fist." Pauses, says, "You know, I killed
a guy once. Looked just like you, he did."
"No shit," I want to say but nothing comes out.
The spider web patterns of fractured light,
splinters that penetrate the young driver's eyes
laying a tight fitting blacktop on the night.
Quite frankly, this poem made me shudder, and that's a good thing. The sort of person you would dread picking up is instead the driver and so the poet takes a chance and climbs in for the ride and we don't know how it ends. All we know is the beginning and I'm curious and thirsty for more, Mr. Caitlan.
Fat Free

shackle locks

ham hocks

milk & honey
no runaway
it's obesity's
the label's
fat free!
I like the alliteration, the pop of rhyme, the whole rhythm of this poem. The subject is great too and is portrayed in short, slim lines. The whole of it is clever and catchy, and I agree with its mockery of the message: The answer to obesity is fat free! Obviously, fat free does not solve much of anything except to make the consumer feel better about themselves. Thank you, Mr. Dorazio, clever poem.
war chant
by: Robert Schuler
I speak for the liberation of the soul
from the slavery of the marketplace
This short poem addresses a broader spectrum of the one above. Free consumers from the marketplace and then their souls will be free. He could go on and on but "enough said."
(or, How My House Got This Way)
By: Anthony G Herles
They fooled me for a while but I caught wise
Those noises in the cellar were not mice
And in the attic, too, those all were lies
The fluffy dolls from Raggedy Ann were some surprise
What she was doing up there was not nice
She fooled me for a while but I caught wise.
Chairs and tables I'll have to sterilize
They wouldn't listen to my Puritan advice
So in the living room, all they told were lies.
And GI Joe and Legos seemed to multiply
Regardless of their word to cut the vice
They laughed at me a while, but I caught wise.
Silverware and dishes offered me no alibis
Bathing together seemed to them exotic paradise
So in my kitchen they lived erotic lives.
My house is filled with stuff I can't abide
Their stand of my confusion will not suffice
They have not fooled me yet, for I am catching wise
Tomorrow I will confront them with their procreation lies.
Finally, a rhyming poem! This one made me laugh out loud, the multiplication of stuff is something I can relate to very well, how about you? Every time my back is turned it seems my own stuff forms taller piles and stacks. The idea that Mr. Herles' things are fornicating and multiplying is portrayed in a riotous rhyme scheme here.
Okay, so I had about three more poems marked to share with you but I'm going to stop here. After all, you should be reaching for your own copy by now!

Dogs are STOLEN everyday - have your dog microchipped. Dogs are stolen and end up in stray dog pounds miles from home. If they are not claimed within 7 days they can be rehomed or killed. Hundreds of 'stray' dogs are rehomed or killed every week because their owner cannot be identified. You have no right to claim the dog after 7 days. A microchip can also be used to prove that the dog is yours if ownership is disputed. Click here for more information. Your dog is valuable to you - and to thieves! Dogs and puppies are being stolen everyday. Do not leave your dog tied up outside a shop or leave it in a car! Check how many dogs go 'missing' from gardens!
Keep Your Dog Safe
Walk your dog on a lead at all times. Do not leave your dog unattended in the garden. It is better not to put your dog in the garden at all as they can become targets. If your dog lives outside you should consider bringing it inside as dogs can easily be removed from locked kennels (see notices below). See the reports below of dogs 'missing' from gardens. Have your dog microchipped. It is likely to be the only way your dog will be returned to you if it is stolen and dumped. Dogs go missing from gardens, often at night. Houses are broken into and the dog is stolen. Dogs are stolen from unattended cars (see notices below). Dogs often go missing the same day that 'travellers' move on. All dogs can be sold or 'held for ransom' so do not assume your dog is not a target. THIS PAGE UPDATED 5th March 2018

20th April Foxy Needs Your Help - Reading, Berks
Foxy is a 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier cross. Foxy was rescued from a council pound as an unclaimed stray. We wondered why anyone would dump such a lovely natured dog. Two weeks after he was adopted the vet diagnosed that he has Legg-Calve-Perthes disease - click here for more information. This is where the blood supply to the head of the femur bone is interrupted and the bone dies. Click here to see more photo's of Foxy. He has had this condition for over 2 years but he is very good at disguising it. If the pound or the rescue vet had discovered this problem before Foxy was adopted he would have been put to sleep. His adopter is going to try and save his life but needs your help to pay for the operation to removed the damaged bone so that Foxy is no longer in pain.

11th November Dog Thieves operating in Dorset.
Dorset Police report 129456: On Saturday 7th November in Swanage, a man described to be in his early 20s with short brown hair and wearing blue tracksuit bottoms, a blue jumper and a body warmer was seen to go into a garden and place a bowl of food on the ground in order to entice the dog over. The man was then seen to pick the family dog up and attempt to walk off with it. He was challenged and left the dog in the garden. Previously to this, there has been a report of a similar incident in the Winterbourne Valley area of Dorchester. We have had reports of a Grey VW Transporter van - click here for photo, driving on foreign plates (first three digits being 141 - see update below), being spotted in the Winterborne Valley area recently, as well as the Purbeck Police area, acting suspiciously around dogs and their owners. These people are looking to steal your dogs possibly to use them as bait for fighting dogs. Please remember that any description you can obtain of the drivers, occupants or even better the vehicle registration will make enquiries easier for the Police. Please keep your dogs safe and secure. If you see anyone or anything suspicious then please call 101 as soon as possible. From a witness (click here for more info): The number plate has been given on a few occasions as 141 D 1129 (Dublin registration). The men are Irish and were trying to sell a generator whilst asking questions about the resident dogs. If you see this van phone the Police immediately because unless they can catch them in the act of committing a crime they are not interested. Please be alert to these incidents and keep your dogs safe. Walk your dog on a lead at all times. Do not leave your dog unattended in the garden. It is better not to put your dog in the garden at all as they can become targets. If your dog lives outside you should consider bringing it inside as dogs can easily be removed from locked kennels (see notices below). See the reports below of dogs 'missing' from gardens.

Video of Dog Thieves - Cranleigh, Surrey.
Click here to see the video This will not be the first time these thieves have stolen and it will not be the last. There are thieves operating in your area. The dogs were recovered. Precautions to keep your dog safe:
Keep the gates to your property shut.
If you discover intruders on your property make sure your dogs are locked inside because the thieves will return.
Do not let your dogs wander where they can be seen from the road or public footpath.
Keep your dogs inside, not in an outside kennel or place where they are alone.
Thieves are particularly interested in Sighthounds, Spaniels and Terriers but they will take any dog regardless of age.
Unwanted stolen dogs have been dropped from moving vehicles on motorways. Stolen dogs recovered by the Police have died days later.
Do not allow admittance to people who call wanting to 'trim your tree or hedge'. These people pass on information to the thieves about the dogs on the property.
Do not let your dogs follow you to the door where they can be seen by callers.
Do not leave your dog tied up outside a shop.
Keep your dog in sight when out walking. Thieves will send their dog to your dog then whistle their dog back to them and grab your dog when it follows.
Make sure your dog is microchipped and the information is up-to-date. It may be the only reason why you get your dog back.
If your dog is valuable to you then it is valuable to a thief - KEEP YOUR DOG SAFE.

Completely Renovated "Smart Home", Rothesay
Buying a home should be a smart decision. Twenty-one Allison Drive is exactly that. Not only is this totally redone home ideally located at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac, it features a "Smart House" extreme security system. Totally approved by insurance companies (with no need to have anyone check your house while you're away), this system allows doors to be remotely locked and unlocked. There are water sensors to tell if pipes spring a leak and water valves are automatically shut off. Heat can be remotely regulated and the house will even send you a text message if someone is in your yard!
This security system is ideal for stress-free family living (your child will never get locked out!), as is the layout of the home. The main level features an open-concept kitchen, living room and dining area (with access to the backyard deck). The gorgeous, brand new kitchen is a cook's dream come true with upscale stainless steel appliances, including a five-burner gas stove with a pot filler, a microwave/convection oven, a side-by-side fridge, a dishwasher and a wine cooler all included. The beautiful slate flooring is heated and you'll love the stainless steel farm house sink, luxurious granite countertops, and the built-in wine glass rack. The convenient central island provides breakfast-bar seating, additional cabinet and counter space, as well as a handy prep sink.
Down the hallway find a crisp white, magazine-perfect full bathroom with a tub/shower, a contemporary vanity with two sinks, beautiful black and white tile and heated tile flooring. This bathroom is handy to the living area as well as a large bedroom. The huge master suite has its own spa-like bathroom with a lovely vanity, deep soaker tub, and a very impressive glass and tile shower with many shower heads and a fold-down seat. The bedroom has a sitting area and an oversized walk-in closet. It also features a built-in flat screen television and patio doors (with built-in blinds) lead to a private deck with glass and aluminum railings.
Down the extra-wide stairs find an impressive rec room with an airtight insert wood-burning fireplace. There's a second, large flat-screen TV, big windows, and built-in closets. You'll also find a third bedroom on the lower level as well as another full bathroom with a four-foot shower with glass doors and laundry facilities. There's another room perfect for your home office and an exit to the attached two-car garage.
Perfect for family living, the home borders a green space leading to Spy Glass Hill, well known to locals for miles of nature trails. These trails offer stunning views of the Kennebecasis River and are ideal for walking, hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and walking the family dog. The flat backyard is ideal for children and pets and is totally surrounded by trees for privacy. You're also within walking distance to Rothesay Netherwood School (independent) and zoned for Kennebecasis Park Elementary School and Harry Miller Middle School.
This home has been completely updated in the latest style and every attention has been paid to detail throughout. From the 12-foot ceiling and heated slate tile in the foyer, to the crown mouldings, LED recessed lighting, and the gleaming hardwood and ceramic tile. There are new doors and windows, including garden doors with built-in blinds. The roofing shingles are new and the power has been upgraded to a 200-amp system. And don't worry about power outages. This home has an automatic, built-in generator. Additional features include an interior and exterior sound system, electric convection heating, a stamped concrete front walk, a newly paved circular driveway, plus, plus, plus!
Make the smart choice. Choose 21 Allison Drive and enjoy a totally renovated, ideally located "Smart House." This home is move-in ready for your family.

If you have an online business and you use PayPal as your payment method, why not use the PayPal Ship Now feature? It will make the delivery of all your products, goods, and packages quick and easy. You won't even have to fall in line when you send your item out. Just go to one of their commercial offices and drop the item off. That's it.
The PayPal Ship Now is PayPal's way to make online selling more convenient via first-class delivery. That means you can feel confident that any of your items will be in good hands.
What is PayPal Ship Now?
The PayPal Ship Now is for online sellers that need a faster and secure way to deliver their goods. And with PayPal's collaboration with UPS and USPS, this project is made possible.
To avail of this special feature, you need to meet some requirements first. These requirements are:
- You have to have a PayPal account first.
- Then you should register your account as a business account.
- If you only registered for a personal account, just apply for a business account from your current account just below your profile summary when you log in.
How to Use PayPal Ship Now
Utilizing the PayPal Ship Now is pretty straightforward. So there is no reason for you to get lost during the process. Here's a short overview of how it works.
- Open your trusted web browser.
- Go to PayPal official website
- Log in your account.
- On the Recent Activity, click on Ready to Ship.
- Under the Ready to Ship, click on the "Print Shipping Label."
- On the next page, you will be required to fill out the shipping details like the weight of the item, package size, service type, and shipping options.
- When you finish completing the required information, click on the "Calculate Shipping Cost" button.
- Before finalizing the shipping transaction, review the details that you entered first.
- When you are decided, click on the "Confirm and Pay" button.
- The cost of the Shipping label will be charged on your account.
- Print the shipping label and put it along with the item.
That's it. You are ready to go. And you may bring the package to the nearest UPS or USPS (whichever you chose before printing the shipping label) and drop the item off their bin.
In Conclusion
The PayPal Ship Now feature is great considering the quality of service that incorporates it. If you compare it to regular shipping services, you get first-class treatment with your package with almost the same charge.
There is also an option for Customer Signature which makes the delivery more preferable and formal. Some buyers do scams like denying that they received the item even if they actually did. And with the Customer Sign addition, you will have supporting evidence that you, in reality, did deliver the goods as promised.
