About Operation Green Card
Arkady Izmaylov is a family man. He's also gay. In Russia. His sister Natalya has been telling him to get out for years, but it's only after an attack in the street that he finally concedes and says yes to her desperate plan of him marrying a stranger for a green card.
Jason Cooley was taught from birth that he's no good to anyone. Then the military taught him he was good enough to save other lives, but that purpose got amputated along with his leg. He's now working security at Wolf's Landing and sending monthly checks to his ex for their daughter's education. When Natalya asks him to marry her brother, Jason knows right away he'll do it more for the mission than the money she's offering. But when he actually meets Arkady, his mission turns complicated.
Jason quickly discovers he's not as straight as he thought. He's also the man of Arkady's dreams. Arkady must convince Jason that he's worth loving, and that Arkady won't disappear from his life like everyone else. Because Arkady has always wanted a family of his own, and he's not letting go of this one.
Available now from Riptide Publishing!
Welcome to Bluewater Bay! This quiet little logging town on Washington state's Olympic Peninsula has been stagnating for decades, on the verge of ghost town status. Until a television crew moves in to film Wolf's Landing, a soon-to-be cult hit based on the wildly successful shifter novels penned by local author Hunter Easton.
Wolf's Landing's success spawns everything from merchandise to movie talks, and Bluewater Bay explodes into a mecca for fans and tourists alike. The locals still aren't quite sure what to make of all this—the town is rejuvenated, but at what cost? And the Hollywood-based production crew is out of their element in this small, mossy seaside locale. Needless to say, sparks fly.
This collaborative story world is brought to you by eleven award-winning, best-selling LGBTQ romance authors: L.A. Witt, L.B. Gregg, Z.A. Maxfield, Heidi Belleau, Rachel Haimowitz, Anne Tenino, Amy Lane, SE Jakes, G.B. Gordon, Jaime Samms and Ally Blue. Each contemporary novel stands alone, but all are built around the town and the people of Bluewater Bay and the Wolf's Landing media empire.
Check it out at Riptide Publishing!

Chapter One
"C'mon, I tried," Jason said to the It's-so-fluffy unicorn belted in on the passenger seat beside him.
The unicorn was clearly not impressed. Jason didn't blame it. He'd tried to leave work early, but he wasn't sure if that stuff just never worked out as planned or if his subconscious was always planning against him. On the plus side, it had made the drive from Bluewater Bay to Seattle a breeze, because he was hours behind the rush-hour traffic. But it also meant it was past ten by the time he reached Highland Park, and when he pulled up to the curb, the little rental under the big trees was predictably dark.
He turned to the unicorn. "Looks like you'll be spending the night on the porch, buddy."
The unicorn was glaring at him and sticking its tongue out.
Jason sighed and looked back toward the house. He'd known Lily would be in bed before he made it. Of course he had. But he'd hoped he'd at least be able to have a peek at her as she slept.
With a sigh, he unbuckled his belt and the unicorn's, then awkwardly climbed out of the car, dragging the big plushy and getting his dummy foot stuck inside the doorframe.
He turned and almost fell flat on his face, but caught one hand on the frame at the last second.
Kendra stood in the half-open front door, outlined against the hall light, a trash bag dangling against her leg.
Jason hooked one hand behind his knee and pulled the trapped foot free.
"Sorry it got so late. I wasn't going to ring the bell, I swear." He held out the unicorn. "I was just going to leave him on the porch."
She didn't look a day older than she had that fateful night six years ago, the week before he'd gotten himself deployed. Tall and athletic, though the weak light made her edges softer. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Do you want to come in? Let me just get rid of this."
He waited until she'd crammed the bag into the trash can by the side of the house, then followed her inside. "Dan not home?'
"He's on night shift this week. He left about an hour ago." She led him into the kitchen, where he plopped the unicorn into a chair.
"Cute," she said. "Did you see the movie?"
"Just clips, but the little girl reminded me of Lily. I thought she might enjoy it."
"She'll love it. She asks about you. Wants to know what your favorite ice cream is. Stuff like that. C'mon, Jay, just take her out for ice cream one of these days. At least come over when she's awake. Too often, you come when she's already in bed."
He tried not to pull his head between his shoulders. Guilty as charged. But he wasn't good for Lily. Better to leave things as they were. "I don't want to confuse her."
"Bull," Kendra said without heat. "She understands very well Dan adopted her, and who you are. You know that." She stuck her tongue out at him. "I showed her your yearbook picture." Then she got serious again. "Kids aren't that easily confused. And Lily's smarter than most." There was pride in her face when she smiled. "She had to have a pre-admission screening for kindergarten because her birthday was after the cut-off date, and they told us she's gifted."
"Wow." On the surface, it was what every parent wanted to hear, but it also made him wary. It meant his little girl was different. And different meant difficult. It always did. "Does that mean a special school for her?"
Kendra shrugged. "They mentioned that as a possibility, but a grand a month? Who can afford that, right? But there are programs at school, and she might skip a grade later on." She cocked her head at him. Reading some of his doubts in his face, maybe? "She'll be fine, Jay. She's an absolute joy. You really need to visit during the day."
Too close. He was only good for people at a distance. He'd have no idea what to say to her, what to do, how to keep her happy. The only way he knew how to do that was by helping Kendra and Dan with whatever money he could spare. Kendra had balked at it at first. They didn't need it, Dan had a good job, she'd said. But Jason had a pretty good idea what Dan earned at the steel mill. It might be a steady income, but it sure as hell wouldn't be stellar. And he himself didn't need much. Kendra had only relented when he'd suggested investing the money in a GET program for Lily's college.
"Do you want to see her?" Kendra asked.
It would cost him, but he did. So much. "Yeah, I . . . If you think . . ."
"Come on upstairs."
At the top of the stairs she put a finger to her lips, then eased open the door to Lily's room and waved him in.
Lily lay sprawled sideways on her mattress, one fist tangled up in the cloud of dark curls spilling across the sheets, the other wrapped around a small and decidedly limp bunny, the blankets in a puddle on the floor. She had grown since he'd last seen her, her limbs longer now, less babyish. But she was still so tiny.
She made his throat tight and set off all kinds of weird shit in his chest. He'd known this would happen. She did that to him every damned time. He wasn't sure why he did that to himself, why he kept coming back here. Except that he needed to. She tethered him. Even though he didn't belong here, he belonged to her in a way. Without her, he'd be completely adrift.
He didn't know how long he stood, just looking at his sleeping daughter, but when he turned back toward the door, Kendra had left.

As populations become increasingly mature, 'the abundance of savings will decrease' according to Mr. Bond:
"Over the next two decades, the boomer generation will age into retirement and run down their accumulated savings. An era of capital abundance will gradually turn into an era of capital scarcity. Government debt burdens will rise sharply, with the risk premium demanded for financing these debts increasing as private sector net savings flows dwindle. Given the broad international context for these trends, with similar developments afflicting almost all the world's major economies, the means by which the government debt burdens are eventually curtailed is unclear. As a result, government bond yields are likely to require a significant rise in risk premia to cover the eventuality of default, either outright or through inflation."
Fair enough, but one can't avoid being a bit skeptical about his recommendation to move into (high fee generating) structured products:
"We are suggesting investors should think about structurally underweighting government bonds and reducing benchmark weightings in the asset class as a long-run strategy," says Bond. Despite his previous caution about investing in structured products, he now says they could be a good addition to a portfolio.
"They can be helpful to express specific views. Simple products where you get leveraged returns can be good in your portfolio. But there are other products that are structured to reflect views that might change over time. They might look like a good idea but their illiquidity goes against them for an investor if they change their mind."
The message is clear -- Don't trust government bonds, trust structured products.

The Bluebells Of Scotland
A tune that's sometimes played at the Golden Guinea pub session, Bristol (UK). This setting is based on the one used by the Cotswold morris dancers from the village of Adderbury, for a dance of the same name.
It is of course primarily the melody of a well-known song.
There is also a pipe version:
when this is danced as a morris dance, a verse is sung whilst walking around in a circle before the dance. the lyrics are as follows:
"oh where, tell me where
has my highland laddie gone?
he's gone to the war
with his tartan jockstrap on!"

Blogging!!..Phew!!...it's been ages doing it
It's been a while since I got to blog.....I know I have been procrastinating it for long. If you are not in a mood to do something you are sure to find reasons not to do it. This is what made me to procrastinate blogging.
I just found sometime now to write a blog on why I was not blogging. LOL...I had all the time in the world when I was in the US to blog but now that I am back in India..I don't get the time to spend on the internet except for checking my mails for a few minutes.
It took me sometime to realize that I am back to my roots! it's close to 6 months since I moved back but I feel as if I've been here for more than a year. My 3 years of stay in the US seems to be like a short dream!!...isn't it weird? Yes..it is..but that's what I feel right now!!..well...as I said...it's the weekend today and I just got to get back to do my daily chores!! cya

School Days
When little kids are asked what they want to be when they grow up, most would blurt out 'doctor' without a miniscule of second thought. Some would say engineer or think of some extraordinary professions (my niece wanted to become a bus conductor when she grew up!). And though you will see them enact their teachers (shouting and scolding and beating an imaginary classroom), few kids would harbour a desire for the teaching profession.
Of course, that is not the ultimate truth. There are many whose ambition revolves around standing in front of a respectful class, with dignity, brimming with knowledge and having the power to mould young minds.
Kids love to enact their teachers – no sooner are they home from school than they take their long rulers and books and teach plants, walls or whatever they think could do for a class.
We celebrated the teacher's day a few weeks back on September 5, how many of us still remember that day. I personally believe that one should become a teacher only if one really has an insatiable thirst, an undying ambition and great respect for the profession. For being a teacher is not a menial job – it brings with it the immense responsibility of not just moulding young minds but also setting an example of oneself for the impressionist youth to follow. A good teacher can create wonders and pave the way for the future of the country, but a bad one can equally destroy both individual and in turn the society.
My purpose here is not to speak of those teachers who do not understand the basics of imparting education thereby depriving children of the advantages of good education, but of those who have shaped the lives of millions by making themselves the very epitome of righteousness and knowledge.
My own school life revolved around teachers as much as it did around my friends. It has been years since I passed out of my primary school, the school where I studied from my nursery to 7th standard, but their memories are so fresh in my mind. We had the best teachers in our school. One such teacher who taught us science really had a good handwriting. The best handwriting I have ever seen till now (other than my mom who also had a good handwriting to her credit). I used to love the Story telling class. These classes where not a part of our curriculum. They used to have it when a teacher felt that they are in no mood to teach for the day. They would come up with a lot of interesting stories to share.
I also miss out the food Fridays. This was a unique practice that was followed only in our school where a particular Friday of the month was declared as a food Friday and the management used to distribute food to all the students on that day (the normal menu would be bise bele bath and curd rice with other side dishes)
Two other teachers of whom I cherish a fond memory in my primary school are those who taught me Kannada and Hindi. We used to be so engrossed in their classes so much that each of their classes seemed to be too short.
Other than the teachers, we were also close to our school secretary. Since both my parents were working in the government service they had a good rappot with our school secretary, who was also the head of our school. Due to this closeness with the secretary, we had a special preference over other students in school. We also had the prevliedge of staying in our secretary's home (which was inside the school) after school hours when we were still young and my mom used to come over to pick us up. I still remember that our school secretary used to offer us Upma and coffee when we visited her home which we used to relish happily.
The Aayas were no exception. Our parents knew them as well and they were instructed to keep an eye on us. They also had the previledge of visiting our home if they wanted to inform our parents on anything important.
Perhaps you may wonder why I have not named any of my teachers – no, it is not because I do not remember their names – that is impossible. By not mentioning names, my only endeavour is to pay my tribute not just to the individuals who made me what I am today, but to the entire teaching fraternity, for those truly blessed people who touch our lives in a way that etches a life-long impression that can never be erased with the flow of time.
Teachers, without you, the world would have ended a long time ago. Thank you for weaving the threads of society that make up the colourful fabric of knowledge, love and humanity the world clothes itself in.

Aamir Khan my fav....
Today I am so happy for having visited one of my favourite bollywood actor Aamirkhan's blog. He is one of the many actors who has impressed me with his acting skills in movies. Apart from the Big B who will remain as my favourites in Bollywood! I like Aamir for his versatility in his acting.
His first notable movie Qayamat Se Qayamet Tak (QSQT) was a big box office hit. His movie Lagaan had been nominated for the Oscars and his recent movie "Thaare zameen par" is one of the best performances by Aamir.
I am glad for having visited Aamir's blog...I'll be a regular visitor to his blogs from now on. Thanks to the internet and thanks to blogs.. It's created a platform for each one of us to interact with the people who are close to us.
For those of you who are interested. Here is the link:

Most often we work on the following models:

In such a situation this model significantly reduces costs because we do not add additional costs of possible risk to the rates.
Fixed Price
In advance, already at the stage of the negotiation of contract, we set a fixed price for the project together with the scope and schedule.
You choose the fixed price when;

-you do not have the necessary competence to implement this type of project and they are not generally available on the market.
Regardless of the model you always have full control over the project. We keep you informed on the progress and we issue invoices when you accept the receipt of the next element of code.

RSYS success at HIRW
Squadron Members have enjoyed significant results at Hamilton Island Race Week which concluded on 24 August.
David and Jill Henry's Sweet Chariot raced in HI Division 5 comprising 28 boats, securing one first place and two thirds resulting in 4th overall, 'A result which delighted us,' said Jill. 'We had frenetic starts every day and a chaotic finish on Day 5 as several divisions converged on the finish line in very light air. As the wind lightens, Sweet Chariot struggles, but great crew work and helming saw us secure first place in the final race which had nothing over 10 knots…So you can image our surprise!'

Paul Clitheroe's Balance raced in IRC Division 1 and came 4th behind Hooligan, Ichi Ban and Alive, 'An honest result for us.' according to Paul, who added that 'racing with the 100 footers Wild oats and Blackjack was quite an experience. We had some great racing, beating Hooligan in the last race and the three TPs finishing within 10 seconds of each other after a four hour race on Friday.'

I arrived in Bangkok a few days ahead of the Ramblers Worldwide Holidays Tour. Thailand, in local language, means Land of the Free and indeed it has never been colonised by a foreign power in recent times. The independent country of Siam was formed in the 13th century. They inherited traditions from earlier great civilisations, such as the Khmer and the Cham, and their trading prowess began to attract European powers such as the Portuguese and the Dutch. However it was the Burmese who overthrew them and destroyed their capital at Ayuthaya in 1350. Later the Thais managed to rebuild their nation with a new capital at Bangkok, where I now found myself once again.
I am always received here with great acclaim when the immigration officers see that I was born in Liverpool, home of their favourite football team. The Beatles are another of their passions, and I often get free drinks when they question me to discover that I was at school with Paul McCartney and George Harrison. The story that I don't tell them is when I had an encounter with their king. Years ago, whilst at university I sped around the corner of a building and ran straight into a guest being shown around. The guy happened to be the much younger king of Thailand, and I knocked him flying.
It's always good to meet and talk to the Thais, who always seem to have a genuine concern for the well being of others. This is probably a result of their ingrained faith in Buddhism, which provides strong guidelines as to how they should live. As with nearby countries, many young men enrol as monks and so receive further education from the order. Then they leave, but retain an affiliation for the rest of their lives, so resulting in a good deal of influential power over the people from the monastic orders.
After a few days of visiting the royal palace, a few markets, some museums and art galleries, I joined the rest of the folk on the Ramblers Worldwide Holidays tour of Indochina. Soon we were on our way to Chiang Rai in the north of the country, where some of my fellow trippers took to elephant rides. However, of course, this was the area were poppies used to be grown in abundance for the feeding of the opium trade. Although no doubt a little might still go on, it is in the museums that one is now made aware of the practice. Indeed I saw all kinds of instruments which were used to smoke the stuff. We, however, were soon boarded on to a bus bound for the small town of Chiang Khong, which nestles magically on the Mekong River.
There was something of a charm as we ate our meal in a restaurant on a balcony overlong the water. However we had to rise early the following morning to make the crossing over to Laos. This entailed us making our way down the steep muddy slopes of the river, fortunately dry mud at that time of the year, and then balancing ourselves on a narrow plank to board the long canoe style boat which would take us across to the other side. Fortunately other folk carried our luggage aboard, otherwise I'm sure we would have witnessed some amusing scenes as a few of us might have got very wet.
After struggling up the opposite bank, we were met by a charming young lady official who took out temperature to make sure we didn't have a cold or any other horrible infection. I suppose we might have been sent back to Thailand if we failed this test, but fortunately all us were declared fit and well. Of course, we still had to hang around for over an hour until our entry visas were sorted, but eventually were under way in a large boat, making progress along the grand river.
The cruise was a real highlight of the tour with a splendid lunch being served aboard as we plied along. It was a bit scary at times when we noticed ourselves passing through a few strewn rocks in fast currents, but the boat crew seemed confident in what they were doing. The bigger worry was making sure that we had enough sun tan lotion on us, in the hot sunshine.
We stopped at a Lao mountain village, where the folk lived at subsistence level in their wooden houses, built on stilts. Hens and cows with small vegetable plots surrounded each abode. Indeed it all looked idyllic until one realised that health and education facilities were somewhat limited. We visited the village school and met smiling kids with their teacher. In colonial days, the French invested very little into the country, which still remains the poorest in the region. The basic literacy rate is still about fifty per cent. It's true that primary education is provided for all children from age 5 to 9, but the government can only afford to provide them with a teacher for half a day per week. This is not only because of cost, but also because after training fresh teachers, they often opt to go abroad to earn more money. Secondary education can be had in private schools, for those who can afford the fees, but of course there's always the monasteries for those who join the Buddhist order. The village primary kids, however, were overjoyed with notebooks and pencils we provided for them. Actually the primary children do get the chance of attending the local Sunday school, but it was so hot on the day we visited one that we found the teacher fast asleep on the grass.
It was a two-day cruise to the old capital city of Luang Probang so we had to spend the night in a hotel in the mountain village of Pakbend. This is not for the faint hearted because there is no mains electricity supply here, which means that there is only cold water, even in the showers. A generator kept the lighting going up to ten o'clock, after which there was complete darkness unless you remembered to bring a torch. I needed to get up in the night, and I accidentally knocked into a tap on a pipe in the bathroom of my en suite abode. It came off and water came pouring out at vast speed all over the place. The tap seemed to be broken and my torch light was not sufficient to search, as I tried, to find a master tap. I ran in panic to the hotel reception but no-one was there. Eventually I found a cleaning lady, and she came and turned a master control, leaving me to paddle my way back to bed.I managed to recover sufficiently in the morning to eat a good breakfast on a hotel balcony overlooking the river, and soon we were on our way by boat towards Luang Probang. The city was founded by the great Khmer empire in the 7th century, but it didn't survive for long. Then in the 19th century, the French rebuilt the place, which still retains much of its colonial architecture. Indeed, it was voted as the world's top city by readers of Wanderlust. It really is worth all the effort of the journey in order to see and experience this place, so full of beautifully preserved French houses, cafes and markets. Up until he was deposed by the communist regime, after the Vietnam/American war in 1975, the king lived in the magnificent palace, again built by the French. Indeed Luang Probang is a very special place for the Lao people, even though it is no longer their capital.
Another day when we toured the local mountain area we saw waterfalls and wildlife and then were faced with a long bus ride along bumpy mountain roads. However, after a couple of hours, the driver stopped because the engine was overheating. Upon inspection, he discovered that the radiator was completely empty of water, so he poured in a fresh supply from a large plastic carrier which he had. This would have been fine except that, a few miles further along the road, he discovered that all the water had disappeared out the radiator again. A hose had developed a leak, which didn't help the situation. It was a real problem now because he had no more water and we were stuck on a lonesome mountain road, miles from anywhere, and out of mobile phone accessibility. Our Ramblers Worldwide Holidays guide, being as usual very resourceful, solved the problem by asking us to volunteer our supplies of drinking water, after the driver wrapped a dirty cloth around the leaking hose. It got us to the next village, just. Here the local folk were only too eager to help; well I suppose that's the only way that folk in those areas manage to survive – by helping each other. There was no garage, but a better temporary repair was made of the hose and we were replenished with water supplies.
Not knowing how late we would be at our destination, our guide suggested we perhaps might like to buy some substantial food at lunch time, and meanwhile he managed to warn the hotel manager that we would be coming – eventually. In the event, we arrived at the town of Vang Veng, which is a kind of mini Las Vagas, at about nine o'clock in the evening. The hotel had prepared for us a superb meal of Lao specialities for us. It really was delightful with the food, as was usually the case, cooked in coconut juices, but we just couldn't eat much of it because we had filled our stomachs at the lunch stop. The hotel manager, who played a guitar whilst singing 60s songs for us, was clearly upset. He thought that we didn't like Lao food, and so the next night we were served with fish, chips and peas, and we were all looking forward to a really good Lao meal.
Breakfast was taken on a balcony overlooking the river. There was much entertainment because all the local taxis drove into the water to have a car wash. Although there was toll bridge, the lorry drivers preferred to drive through the river to cross to the other side in order to save the money. Needless to say, one such lorry got stuck in the middle, which caused great jollity. The villages were clearly used to this, because various vehicles arrived with tow ropes, and eventually the vehicle was brought to safety. Then we went for a walk, crossing a swaying bamboo footbridge. We then proceeded to walk up a fair size hill, where we visited some caves, where invading Chinese once hid.
Everywhere we went, the children were always smiling. However we were told that the Lao people didn't smile for years, after the Vietnam/American war, because over a million of their people were killed in the carpet bombing provoked partly by some of their folk helping to support the Viet Cong in the south of the country. Nowadays they are a relatively free people although we gathered that criticism of the government or its policies was not looked upon too kindly.The final part of our journey in Laos was by bus to the capital at Vientiane. I gather it was a den of vice and gambling under the French; so much so that the communists wanted to move the capital away from here. However the only other obvious place was Luang Probang and that had too many associations with the old royal family. Furthermore the mountain folk had supported the monarchy and did not want a communist regime. Each of them wanted to continue owning their own little piece of land for their subsistence living, whereas the communists were aiming at making land ownership illegal. The tribal support for the old regime led to reprisals from the communist government, resulting in many mountain folk fleeing to Thailand.
In the end, the new regime decided to rebuild Vientiane as a new capital city. Of course that meant that today it is now a place with dull concrete houses, shops and offices. However there is a grand palace and the museums are good to visit. Our local Lao guide, called Tui, was a splendid character, who seemed to be known by everyone here, in his home town. He hardly ever stopped eating, especially was he wandered past the many food stalls on the streets or in the markets, but he looked very fit in spite of this. Perhaps his superb sense of humour kept him in good shape.
In the evening, we were entertained in a restaurant with a floor show. This consisted of young performers, dressed in colourful traditional Lao costumes dancing to music of their culture, accompanied by folk playing a variety of old fashioned instruments, including the khaen. This is a type of mouth organ, made of bamboo pipes, and dates back to the bronze age. Lao legend has it that the khaen was created by a woman trying to reproduce the sound of a bird, so that she could hear it without taking the trouble to walk into the forest. Many centuries ago, it crossed the ocean to South America, where it developed into the Andean pipe flute, and the khaen is possibly the ancestor of our western harmonica and the pipe organ. Indeed it is probably the oldest musical instrument in the world.
Lao people are very superstitious and believe in evil sprits. We took part in the ceremony of the sukwan, where a monk mixed a concoction of herbs and spices in a bowl, which he then blessed in front of an altar. I then had to kneel before him, and hold out my left arm. He proceeded to dip a small length of white string into the mixture, which the people believe has turned the string into a khwan, a guardian spirit. The string was then tied around my wrist, which I had to wear for three days to keep the evil spirits at bay.
It was time to leave Laos after a final evening meal with entertainment. The next day, we flew to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Of course, we suffered all the paraphernalia of immigration and visas when leaving Laos and entering another country, but our Ramblers WH guide did most of the work for us. We arrived in the late afternoon and, after a short familiarisation walk, we settled into our hotel.
Up to the 6th century AD, this land was called Funan, and the folk here became rich on the proceeds of passing trade between India and China. Eventually it grew into the Khmer empire in the 9th century. They built extensive irrigation canals, thousands of fine temples and a capital city at Angkor. However nearly everything was destroyed by the invading Siamese in 1432. The Khmer retreated and eventually formed a new capital at Phnom Penh.
Owing to later invasions from the Vietnamese on another front, Cambodia would have disappeared off the map, were it not for the French finally settling their borders. The European colonists developed a grand reparation scheme of many of the old temples and, as with Laos, they sent some lucky guys for a further education in Paris – one being Pol Pot. It was from France that these folk returned with a yen for communism, and after the Vietnam/American war, Pol Pot took over the regime in Cambodia. The problem was that his idea was to rid the nation of all professional people and put an end to land ownership. So teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc were rounded up and tortured in a former school, turned into a prison. This was followed by death sentences in the killing fields just outside the city.
Phnom Penh is actually an attractive city and we were taken on a magical evening dinner cruise on the river. However the visit was somewhat dulled by our local guide insisting that we should visit the prison and killing fields of the Pol Pot regime. Of course, it left a lump in my throat, especially when I saw discarded clothing of the victims. It was a terrible mass genocide, ended eventually by Pol Pot's former friends, the Viet Cong, invading the country. Cambodia had a rich economy after the French left in the 1950s, but it was a wreck of a country after Pol Pot had control. Now, however, the nation is looking forward, and it was good to see new buildings and gardens around Phnom Penn.
Apart from the musical concerts we had in the restaurants, we began to wonder if it was actually worth coming to Cambodia. However our views were completely changed after the bus ride to the old capital of Angkor, now called Siem Reap. This was a real gem of a place, in spite of all the road works causing dust clouds as we wandered near our hotel. Of course it was all those temples that made it all worthwhile. Of course the greatest of these was Angkor Watt, which claims to be the largest surviving religious building in the world.
The surrounding moat at Angkor Watt is sufficient to put any European palace or castle to shame. It is simply magnificent. The three levels of long galleries portray intricate stone carvings on their walls, depicting stories of the Khmer civilisation and of their belief in the after-life. The most famous of these reliefs was the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, which displayed 88 demons and 92 gods with crested helmets, churning up the sea to extract the elixir of immortality. To me, the art was on a par with Sistine Chapel. We spent several hours here, never tiring of the place.
We visited other temples and royal complexes around Siem Reap. There was simply no time to visit them all, even though every one we saw was stunning. Of course, I couldn't help learning about the beliefs of the ancient Khmer, beginning with Hinduism and their conversion to Buddhism.
Today the young folk of Cambodia no longer regard their monarch as a god king, like their parents once did. They hate the stories of the Pol pot regime and his Khmer Rouge with all the suffering that had affected almost family in the land. Indeed they wonder why the king did nothing to try to prevent Pol Pot from taking control, and yet they like him as a compassionate guy. However of course the youngsters are now busy using the Internet and 21st century technology, and will drive the nation to a better future, under the cooperation of ASEAN, the ten member Association of South East Asian Countries – like an EU of the area.
It was time to say goodbye and the rest of the group flew to Bangkok and then on to London, although we did have one lady from Vancouver. I caught a plane to Vietnam where, in a few days time, I was due to join a Ramblers Worldwide Holidays tour of that country.

Your first detox is like picking up a new sport. At first it is intriguing, you are super motivated and excited about the potential results. Then it begins… the pain and concentration that you need to have to strictly eat what you are supposed to eat/drink and NOTHING else. You have a moment of doubt and maybe even laziness, usually around the liquid days, where you wonder if you are going to be able to reach your goal and whether all this is worth it. You eventually pull through and once you are finally done, you realise how much better you feel, how much better you look and how excited you are about feeling in control of your body's health. Angelique kept saying she regularly does a detox and I always thought it was because she was way more devoted than everyone else, but I get it now. I am actually looking forward to my next one!

You don't have to be an athlete to notice how nutrition can impact your performance. For you it could be your performance at work, in the gym, or at home with your family. Performance tells us a lot about your physiology. Whenever you feel low or are finding your performance is suffering, your motivation and desire to continue with the recommendations will diminish.

At last, the Case of the Missing Aussie Singer is about to be solved. Tracked to her three-acre spread in the Malibu hills, Olivia Newton-John plops onto a chintz sofa and prepares to unravel the mystery of her recent whereabouts. In the '70s and early '80s she was a multimedia phenomenon—sort of a kinder, gentler Madonna—jamming the radio waves with Top 10 tunes (Have You Never Been Mellow, Summer Nights), swaying across movie screens in the blockbuster Grease, getting Physical on TV in her increasingly provocative videos. But then, poof, she disappeared from Hollywood. So where has she been? "It sounds kind of boring to say I've been at home," she says. "But that's the truth."
Hard to imagine Madonna ever making that claim. Not that Newton-John, 42, has been lolling about, stuffing herself with bonbons (the schoolgirl-thin body in sweatshirt and black tights attests to that). By 10 one morning, she has already whizzed through a rather unmellow flurry of tasks: preparing an oatmeal breakfast for her husband, actor Matt Lattanzi, 31, and daughter Chloe, who turns 5 next month; caring for a whining puppy; welcoming mom Irene for a visit from Melbourne, directing a crew of cabinetmakers to the playroom and reviewing her lengthy list of afternoon appointments. Observing her daughter in action, Irene says, "It wears me out just watching."
While managing this household hustle, Olivia has finally found time to pencil in one of her activities from the old days. In the NBC holiday trifle A Mom for Christmas, airing Monday. Dec. 17, she plays a mannequin who comes to life to care for a motherless girl. It's her first dramatic venture since 1983's Two of a Kind, the comic-romantic slip she made with fellow Greaser John Travolta. After that flop, Newton-John, who has always been nervous about performing, "toyed with retiring" and turned the volume of her career way down. But last September, when she sang four numbers in a benefit concert for California's Big Green initiative, a pet cause, she found herself thrilled to be singing for a crowd. A week later she read the Mom script. "The timing was perfect." she says. "I was full of confidence." And more important, perhaps, "It was a story I could see Chloe watching and enjoying."
It is Chloe, in fact, who calls the tune in Mom's life these days. While Newton-John's four Grammys are tucked away on a high shelf, Chloe's artwork is framed and prominently displayed in the house. Concern for Chloe also sparked Newton-John's ardent environmentalism. A goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program, Olivia practices what she preaches. Her front walkway is lined with recycling bins, and the family throws all their food scraps on a compost heap.
Despite her obvious talent for mothering ("She always told me to eat my greens," says Juliet Sorcey, 11, her Mom co-star), Newton-John delayed starting a family, in part because of painful memories of her parents' divorce. Her father, a retired college dean now living in Sydney, and mother, a corporate publicist, split when Olivia was 10. But after several years of living with Lattanzi—the only positive fallout from her 1980 bomb, Xanadu—she took the plunge and married him in 1984. Thirteen months later Chloe was born, and Newton-John put her already streamlined career on hold. "I wanted her to have a mother and not be raised by nannies," says Olivia. "I had play groups at my house."
Laughing, she recalls, "My agent constantly asked, 'What do you want to do?' My answer was always the same—nothing." Lattanzi, who is still struggling to make an acting name for himself, says, "Olivia had a big career. I think that's why she has been able to devote herself so fully to Chloe." The couple agree on most child-raising matters. "Our biggest difference," says Lattanzi, "is that I tend to be more of a disciplinarian than Livvy." Their 11-year age split, which initially put Olivia off, seems not to be an issue.
Despite Olivia's commitment to her daughter (she has had no hired child-care help), there has been time for a few business projects. Last year she recorded the Chloe-inspired Warm and Tender, and she has taped video prologues to a set of animated fairy tales (see page 27). She also keeps her hand in Koala Blue, the worldwide chain of sportswear boutiques she founded with her friend and fellow Australian singer Pat Farrar in 1983. "She's extremely involved," says Farrar. "She helps design, she visits stores, she helps with the catalog, all that."
Her largest personal project is the construction of a 10,000-square-foot Malibu beach house, which Lattanzi is supervising. When asked whether they plan to expand their family as well, Newton-John recoils with understandable reluctance. Two years ago she suffered a miscarriage. "It was devastating," she says. "I can handle it now, but it took a lot of time. My family and my husband helped me immensely. But I was lucky. I had a beautiful child, and if I never have another child, I'm blessed already. I can't complain."
Golden-haired like her mother, Chloe has only a vague idea of Newton-John's previous life in the limelight. " 'She gets a kick out of hearing me sing, but it's nothing special to her," says Olivia. "Sometimes she'll tease me by calling me Olivia Newton-John, and then laughing."
Most of the time, of course, Chloe just calls her Mommy. "All I need to hear is 'Good night, Mommy, I love you,' " says Newton-John, "and there's no question everything is worth it."

Minority Comics Hold 'Sketch In'
LIANE HANSEN, host:
In the comic section of your newspaper today, some of you may see something you don't normally see. A demonstration. Call it a sketch-in. Eleven minority cartoonists have drawn their own version of the same strip to underline the lack of diversity on the comics page.
The idea was inspired by Cory Thomas, the creator of Watch Your Head. It's a comic strip about a group of black friends in college. Cory Thomas is in our studio. First of all, welcome to the program.
Mr. CORY THOMAS (Creator, Watch Your Head): Thanks for having me.
HANSEN: Describe the strip that you and others have drawn.
Mr. THOMAS: It's pretty much a strip that kind of addresses the fact that a lot of people assume that minority cartoons are interchangeable, despite the fact that they're really diverse in theme, location, styles of humor and all of that. So it pretty much plays on the fact that some people find them to be interchangeable.
HANSEN: So what you're saying is for a black comic strip artist to actually get published in a newspaper it's hard because most people think that, well, if we've got one black strip that's all we need.
Mr. THOMAS: Well, first of all for a new cartoonist in general it's difficult to get into newspaper because that real estate is shrinking. That's an extra hurdle that black cartoonists have to face where when grouping together cartoons based on theme, a lot of people will group together black strips with black being considered the theme when really it's not a theme at all. The black strips are as diverse in tone and character and visual style as any other strip.
HANSEN: And the newspapers, there's no problem with this, they're all participating?
Mr. THOMAS: Yeah. I mean, the material isn't particularly objectionable or anything. And I think people might be expecting something a little more militant than what it actually is. So I don't think what we actually have out there is anything that newspapers would object to.
HANSEN: Yeah, but it's just getting a point across.
Mr. THOMAS: Yeah, pretty much.
HANSEN: Why did you choose to put it in the strips today?
Mr. THOMAS: The dates as close as we could get to the Sunday, to the birthday of one of the pioneers of black comic strips, Ollie Harrington.
HANSEN: So how do you think the strips are going to be received by the readers?
Mr. THOMAS: First of all, I expect a lot of eye rolling. You know, here we go again, more complaints, whatever. I just want to, like, make sure that people understand that no one is asking for affirmative action, no one is asking for a special place or an extra place for black strips or anything like that. Just equal footing, just a removal of that one hurdle. And if we could achieve that most of us would be happy.
HANSEN: Cory Thomas is the artist for the comic strip Wash Your Head. His and other comic strips appearing in today's paper are making a statement about the lack of diversity in the comics. And, Cory, thank you for coming in.
Mr. THOMAS: Thank you for having me.

Most parents will always ask how to discipline and properly limit their children's usage of their mobile devices. We may not provide the ultimate answer or solution but this Samsung Safety Screen app will definitely help. It's a new application that can be every adult's best friend when it comes to teaching the children how to properly use the tablet and set an ideal viewing distance.
Samsung Safety Screen will tell the mobile device user a safe distance. There's a minimum recommended distance that one should follow whether using a tablet or a smartphone. It's developed by Samsung but anyone can use it on any Android device. Parents can also use the app and set a password.
Samsung Safety Screen is a useful app that makes use of an advanced facial recognition software. It should be running in the background so the app can work and notify the person if he or she is to close to the screen already. What the app does is to shut down the screen if the phone or tablet is too close to your face. You need to unlock the device to get back to the app.
Some of us may be unknowingly too close to the screen already. It's not only kids who need the app but also us adults. Digital eye strain is very much common and it's about time we think of ways on how to avoid or at least reduce such.
Samsung Gulf Electronic worked with Leo Burnett MENA to develop the app. The Samsung Safety Screen application is just one of the first innovative apps that aim to help the user to avoid something or encourage to do important tasks.

This post is in response to Weekly Photo Challenge – Summer Lovin'
Show us something you love. It could be your favorite novel, the light of the moon on your deck at night, the beach on a hot day, or that special you-know-who. Get creative!
With mercury levels in India, hovering around 40°C, anyone Summer Lovin' ???
Yes !! Yes !!! As the humid, sweltering summer approaches we get the opportunity to escape the heat and travel to hill stations which have little to do with rising temperature and hustle and bustle of city life.
Here we are on our way to World's highest Organic Tea Garden – Kolukkumalai Tea Estate.
At 8000 ft above sea level, located precariously atop a hill range, the drive is most scenic and breath taking.
Finally, we reach the sprawling tea estate.
The orthodox tea making process is a seven step process – withering, rolling, sieving, fermenting, drying, fiber extraction and grading. This small factory in the center of the estate was built by the British in 1930.

Manchester City will need to break transfer record to land £70million-rated Lyon star Tanguy Ndombele
Pep Guardiola smashed the club record in the summer to bring in Riyad Mahrez for £60m but may need to do it again
MANCHESTER CITY will need to break their transfer record to land £70million-rated Lyon star Tanguy Ndombele in January.
Pep Guardiola smashed the club's record in the summer to bring in Riyad Mahrez from Leicester in a £60m deal, but may need to do it once more.
Ndombele, 21, was in imperious form when Lyon stunned City in the Champions League last month, in a 2-1 win.
And it would appear his performance has caught the eye of Guardiola.
However, the Star claim Lyon have hit back at the City chief, demanding at least £70m for their star midfielder.
Guardiola was considering a swoop for the Frenchman in the summer, after missing out on Jorginho to Chelsea.
Ndombele only joined Lyon permanently this summer, having spent 2017-18 on loan from Amiens.
All in all, Ndombele made 36 Ligue 1 appearances for the French giants last term - adding a further ten appearances in all competitions this term.
Man City are hoping to land the France youngster as a long-term replacement for 33-year-old Fernandinho.
Guardiola has also been linked with Ajax's Frenkie De Jong and Wolves star Ruben Neves - both 21.

Dec 25, 2018 (China Knowledge) - Forced technology transfer was one of the core issues in U.S. and China trade dispute. President Donald Trump, on number of occasions, during his speeches has claimed that Beijing has stolen American ideas.
Beijing is contemplating to ban local governments from forcing foreign companies to transfer proprietary technology to their Chinese partners, signifying a step taken by central government to address the U.S. concern in ending the trade disputes between the two countries.
According to Xinhua, the draft law on foreign investment has been submitted to the bimonthly session of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee on Sunday. The facilitation, protection, and management of foreign investment such as negative list management, and equal participation was included in the draft laws submitted.
U.S. Ambassador Dennis Shea has claimed that forced technology transfer was an unwritten rule for foreign companies entering joint venture with Chinese companies when accessing the country's marketplace, especially if the partner is a state-owned enterprise. China has rejected the criticism multiple times since then.
This draft law submitted will not only address the world and the U.S.'s concern on forced technology transfer issue, and may give a break to the trade dispute; but also enhances the market for foreign businesses.
The new laws, when adopted, will also help promote and protect foreign investment in China, aligning with the government's goal of reforms and opening up. As of November 2018, there are a total of 950,000 foreign-funded companies registered in China, bringing in more than USD 2 trillion into economy.
The safeguard and enhancement made to the competitive landscape of businesses for foreign companies will encourage foreign investment in China. Foreign presence will continue to be a major driving force in China's economic and social development.
