There is an unfortunately growing trend among the ill-informed and the ill-intending to mislabel bisexual as being somehow binarist, meaning that people are only interested in (cis) men and women and no other genders.
Now and then I do worry if I caused it myself, as in about 1996 I did make a remark about being "bisexual, I just haven't worked out which two yet", and who knows who may have been listening and failing to have any clue about humour. But I'm sure the same wrong silly notion can be thought of in many places at once: after all, just look at the number of Earth-creating gods we have.
Now, the slightest examination of the bi movement over the last twenty years or whatever would lay this silly binarist notion to rest, but the old adage about a lie being round the world before the truth has finished fastening its bootlaces holds painfully true in the internet age, where copypasta means that the lie can cite itself as its own reference a dozen times over.
Fervent messiahs of internet falsehood explain that pansexual good, bisexual bad, while never touching on how homosexual and heterosexual fit in to this model - despite those being the identities with the strength and power. As their work dissipates so much attracted-to-more-than-one-gender activist energy, one might ask whose agenda the trumpeters of "bi-is-binary" are serving; alas, they don't seem to think that bit through themselves. I have yet to find, though will be in a way pleased to, b-word-bashers who are as vigorous and challenging, pro-rata, of the monolithic powers of the Big Two in sexuality identity.
I'm one of the people the binarism supposedly inherent in 'bisexual' oppresses. When the spelling of bisexual is even in the top ten things that cause me trouble in this life, I will be living in such a utopian bliss I won't even bitch about it then.
In the meanwhile, I think I need to get some pin badges made. BUMRAP: the Bisexual Umbrella Movement to Rebut Antagonistic Panevangelists, perhaps?

In the Film and Television Production program, students gain experience in the crucial leadership role of director/producer/writer, with an emphasis on experiential learning. You can stress narrative or documentary production and are encouraged to explore both. Students are required to shoot three films during their studies, including their thesis film.
You'll have ample access to industry-standard equipment and facilities and more opportunities than you can imagine to produce your own work and to crew on the film projects of fellow students. In your first year alone, you'll deliver 3-5 short narrative or documentary projects in collaboration with future editors, sound designers and other key craftspeople.
The Production M.F.A. emphasizes experiential learning and small class size. This facilitates hundreds of hours on two dedicated production stages and in fully furnished scene and prop shops. And you'll get plenty of practice on advanced lighting and grip equipment and Red and Canon C300 digital cameras. You'll expand your production skills working one-on-one with faculty–who are also industry specialists–and learn from visiting instructors who have included visual effects supervisor Richard Taylor (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, District 9) and producer Paula Wagner (Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible III). The school's tapeless orientation eases post-production. Your work is saved to a central server so you can call up your project from any computer station at any stage, and then screen your finished film in Mayer Theater.
You'll come into the Film and Television Production graduate program with some expertise, an idea of your creative identity and a growing professional network. You will exit transformed–and ready to start your career.

[Infographic] How to Setup and Maintain Your Portable Ice Maker
[Infographic] How to Setup and Maintain Your Portable Ice Maker [amazon box="B06XHJCDM5,B071J2LSQS,B07H7SGQ52″ template="table"]
With a portable ice maker, you can make your own ice right from the comfort of your house without waiting for a long time.
Now you may maybe asking questions about set-up, and maintenance of this portable appliance.
How to set up
Here is the post you have been looking for, it's about how to set up and maintain an ice maker.
- Just before you connect your ice make to a power supply, ensure it stand upright for at least 24 hours
- Place the ice maker in a well-ventilated room whose ambient temperature is about 50˚F and below 90˚F. Ambient temperature means the temperature of the environment.
- Portable ice makers don't require permanent water line, so simply put in the water to the full mark.
- Wait about six minutes and your appliance will make the ice
- It is advisable to dispose the first batch the ice maker produce because the storage area of your ice maker is for short term use only, so it won't store ice your ice frozen.
- Link to the elevator water used by the machine to produce the first batch. This water is used to produce another batch; this saves you money and water resources
To ensure proper maintenance of the ice make;
- Take out the ice basket
- To ensure your ice maker continue serving you longer clean the interior with a diluted cleaning solution (warm water and a soft cloth)
- Note: Do not use any abrasive solution to clean
- Clean the outer surface of the ice maker regularly with detergent and warm water
- Dry both the interior and exterior with a soft cloth and make sure you store it in the right (dry) place.
- Because portable ice makers will require electricity to function make sure the whole area is dry to avoid the risk of electric shock among other dangers.

It is an embryo culture and transfer medium which allows to reduce repeated misscarriages. This medium contains a molecule called Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), which is naturally present in the female reproductive system. In this way, a more physiological embryo culture is achieved, improving the chances of pregnancy and highly reducing the risk of misscarriages.

"That's it, I'm buying this!" Unless you're adamant about waiting for reviews before deciding to buy, you'll more than likely make that decision based on a game's previews alone. We've talked a bit before about effectively using previews to inform your buying choices, but that only really applies to game's one isn't already interested in. For those that have already won our attention, it's really just a matter of showing us what we need to see. What do we need to see in order to convince u to buy? Well, that depends…
(video from YouTube channel: Mass Effect)
Most of the time, I like to think of myself as someone who chooses their games carefully; someone who patiently waits for reviews and who then makes an informed decision based on the quality represented. I like to think of myself that way, but in truth that approach is more exception than norm. Instead, for most of the games I buy the decision is made well ahead of time. I'll either decide to get it the day it's announced, or I'll decide to buy it after seeing what it's all about through trailers and/or other sorts of pre-release media.
I was reminded of this after watching the launch trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. It's a game that I was probably already going to get eventually, but seeing this moved it up from "maybe sometime next month" to "I want this game ASAP". I already knew what the gameplay looked like, what the basic scenario was, and what sorts of changes were made going from ME3 to Andromeda; it just wasn't enough to actually get me excited for the game (the sting left by ME3 has lingered for quite a long time). This showed me exactly what I needed to see to get fully on-board with Mass Effect: Andromeda. It showcases the troubles the Ryder twins will have to overcome, the gravity of the situation, the wonders to be found, and most importantly for me: it displays the tone/mood the game is aiming for. If this is really what the game offers (and hopefully it is), then there's no way I wouldn't be super-psyched for it! 😀
I just think it's funny how sometimes all it takes to get one on board the hype-train is a glimpse at exact right parts of the game that resonate with us. For me it's knowing what sort of feel its aiming for, but for someone else it might be knowing how the combat works or just how much there is to discover in the game's world. I suppose that's why game marketing is the way it is. They more than likely know that there's more than one path available to reach a person, and that their game will likely succeed or fail depending on how many of those paths they can successfully traverse in their advertising.

A Bouquet of Stories
And finally, "Who's Douglas?" I'll close by offering a small bouquet from the flower garden of my memories. It's quite a large garden. I could pick a good many bouquets. But I'll try to keep them brief, and will share them in chronological order—although I can hear both Douglas and Seth chuckling at my unwillingness to offer them in either a reverse or a random order. I've also titled them, as we title our dreams. The first one is called:
Standing Up to the Drill Sergeant
Douglas is in boot camp. It's 1951. He's enlisted in the Navy and is 21 years old. This isn't the "new" army. It's the old army. And drill sergeants rule boot camp with an iron fist. Doug and his fellow recruits are lined up before their drill sergeant. They're exhausted and terrified, waiting for his next orders.
"I am your God!" the sergeant bellows. "Get down on your knees and worship me."
The men quickly start dropping to their knees. All but Douglas. He's left standing there alone.
The drill sergeant stalks over and glares at him.
"You're not kneeling, Todd!"
Douglas shakes his head. He's too frightened to say anything, but there's no way he's going to bend his knee for this or any other man.
"You'll pay for this, Todd," the sergeant says ominously.
But it's the drill sergeant who ends up paying. When the brass hear about the incident, they reprimand him. Then, apparently sensing some leadership potential in this new recruit, they transfer Douglas to an officer's training program for naval pilots, where he eventually earns his wings.
The Dream of Transdyne
Doug is lying in a Washington, D.C. hospital room. It's sometime in 1967. Douglas is 37 and he's recovering from a suicide attempt—one that Stanley just barely kept from being successful. He had been terminated from his job in a law office for having suggested that the secretaries there were not being paid enough. This on the heels of having been outed and then crucified by the military, after several years of service as a naval officer.
(As an aside, Douglas used to wear an ostentatious crucifix that hung from a chain around his neck. Some of you probably remember it. There were many reasons, both psychological and metaphysical, why he wore it. He finally lost it while working in the woods one day. How striking, then, that he should die on Good Friday.)
Anyway, Doug apparently feels that he has been crucified once too often, and he nearly succeeds in crucifying himself. Recovering from the over-dose, in that D.C. hospital room, he has a dream. In the dream, he's looking down on a large group of younger people in the distance, who are playfully and spontaneously tapping into psychic gifts and abilities that Douglas can't even begin to touch.
He is feeling somewhat disgruntled and left out. Then he hears a voice, seemingly out of nowhere. The voice says, "All this is yours." Or perhaps, "All this is because of you."
He's wondering what this could possibly mean. Then he hears the voice again. It says one word, "Transdyne."
Then Doug wakes up.
Ten years later he will give this name, Transdyne, to the hill-top piece of land that he and Stanley will purchase in Copper Hill.
First Meeting
I'm working in the garden. It's a warm afternoon in 1975. Looking up from the bed I'm cultivating, I see Joyce coming down from the shelter with a couple of strangers. I lay down my hoe and walk over to meet them.
"Robert, this is Doug and Stan. They're looking at some land just down the road. Doug, Stan, this is Robert."
One of them smiles at me and extends his hand. I shake it. The other is peering at me, with equal measures of curiosity, anticipation, and caution. He reminds me of a hunting dog who's had his nose to the ground, following a faint scent. That scent has grown suddenly hot, and now he's coming to a point.
I shrug off the image and we shake hands. Joyce continues with her tour, out toward Temple Hill. I return to the garden. Much later, Douglas tells me that I was the one—the one he had been searching for. And so began a decades-long exploration of the complex web of associations beneath his belief that, "I was the one."
The Essenes on Temple Hill
Doug and I are standing together on Temple Hill, talking, soon after he and Stan had moved up to Transdyne from Norfolk. His eyes have a passionate intensity. He's reminding me of a passage from Season of Changes. It's the passage, he says, that sent him in search of this community, and of me.
You have come together to build an example of family living, of cooperation, of child and adult education on the many different levels, and the expression of the greater perfection and love within you that you know man may become. But the greatest ideal, the greatest purpose for your coming together rests on one idea, one ideal, and one principle; and your whole community must hinge on this.
And that is to be a vehicle, a vessel, by which the Christ Consciousness, by which the Christ may again enter into the Earth. For He shall not come but for those who build to make this possible, that are also already within the Earth plane.
This is not to say that this would be the only group that would do such a thing, that would help with such a vibration and such a purpose. But it is important that you add your power and love and dignity to such a matter. This is your greatest desire and purpose, and this is why those peoples, those group of Carmel, the Essenes, were given as examples to you. For this, you see, is what they had done. (page 138)
"But who were the Essenes, really?" Doug asks, eyes bright. "What were they really doing?"
I already know the passage by heart. The words, however, have become thickly coated with a dull veil of familiarity. But suddenly this veil shimmers and falls away and I really hear Douglas' question.
In one of our current film mythologies, called "The Matrix," there's the following piece of dialogue.
Trinity is talking to Neo. "It's the question that drives us! You know what the question is, don't you?"
And Neo replies, "What is the Matrix?"
Douglas' question on Temple Hill ("Who were the Essenes, really?") will become a driving force in my life. It will drive me to write Wax Statues, Cotton Candy and the Second Coming, and will continue to drive me for many years to come. In a way, it's still driving me.
During my last visit with Doug, I told him that I had called Ticket Master in Chicago and ordered two tickets for a rare exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls and some of the artifacts from the Essene community at Qumran. Lauren and I will see the exhibit while passing through Chicago next week on our Amtrak tour. Marlene happened to notice an obscure reference to it in "The Wall Street Journal" and showed it to me.
I told Doug that going to see those scrolls and artifacts felt like going on a pilgrimage. He smiled and nodded.
The Small Ring in the Test Tube
Douglas is on his knees in our sleeping alcove, next to a quietly radiant Joyce, peering into a squat plastic test tube standing on the little desk at the foot of our bed. It's the summer of 1983.
"Well, I'll be damned," he exclaims. I smile at his apparent consternation.
Doug had been living at ALM for quite a few weeks by now. His expressed interest in coming for an extended visit had stunned everyone. It's hard to imagine someone less suited to living in community than Douglas.
But he had been feeling that this place was dead in the water. (A classic Douglas perception/projection, by the way.) A jolt was needed. An electric shock to re-start a stalled heart. Maybe by moving here he could somehow provide such a catalytic jolt. He didn't expect it to be easy. For anyone. And it hadn't been.
"I'll be damned," he says again, staring at the distinct ring that had formed in the liquid at the bottom of the test tube.
I continue to grin, clearly hearing his unspoken thought—"This is not at all what I expected."
He smiles, congratulates Joyce and me, and returns to the garden. Soon thereafter he goes home to Transdyne, to "be patient and wait." (A psychic had once given Doug this succinct piece of advice. It would torment him for years.)
The little tube that Douglas had peered into was part of a pregnancy test kit. The small ring that had formed in it was confirmation that Joyce and I had finally succeeded, after several frustrating years, in conceiving. After showing me the good news, Joyce had asked me to bring Douglas down so that he, too, could see the omen.
Nine months later, Doug received a second shock when the baby turned out to be a girl. He had simply assumed that it would be a boy. But he always felt a special fondness for Lauren. He would give me small gifts and tokens to keep for her until she was older. Even in the nursing home, when Lauren would accompany me on a visit, Doug's face would light up when he saw her.
(There's a short epilogue to this story. I'm spending Thursday afternoon with Douglas, as usual, in April of 1984. Our sharing comes to an end when David drives over to Transdyne to tell me that Joyce has gone into labor. The next morning, on Good Friday, Lauren takes her first breath. On another Thursday, in April of this year, Lauren celebrates her 16th birthday. The next morning, on Good Friday, Douglas takes his last breath.)

I can't download the elite commandar app on my android phone. I have tried to look in the play store, scan the barcode and connect through webpage. When I I use the webpage link it requires me to change the settings to allow a non-android approved app. I tried that and I still get an error message stating I need to pay but there isn't anywhere to do that.
Keep watching just in case but as this query is about a particular app it would be best to take it up with whoever supplies it.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Bori has been of one of my favorite Bengali foods. Even though, bori, also known as bari elsewhere, is eaten all over India, bori has been elevated to an art and has enjoyed a cult status in Bengal. Bori is flavored with different kinds of spices, including asafedita. My craving for hing bori must wait -- until the neighborhood store in Kalikapur gets its supply.
That day, after soaking up the sweat oozing on my forehead and swallowing my disappointment at the kirana, or grocery, store, I bought regular bori. Bori is usually used in some special curries, or with vegetables or spinach, or just eaten deep-fried.
Someday, perhaps, I will post a recipe. Until then, let bori be a dream gathering on the horizon.

Several days on, a buzz remains from having been at Rotorua Noir, New Zealand's first-ever crime fiction festival directed by Grant Nicol and Craig Sisterson. An immediate sense of community developed, as at similar festivals around the world. Even though crime fiction and thrillers now dominate the publishing market, their writers maintain a "united us" versus the literary fiction "them" who, by and large, consider us lesser beings.
That debate and, perhaps, the self-doubt never ends, even though crime novels now provide as much if not more "social commentary" than the so-called purer literary forms. Fiona Sussman's Ngaio Marsh Award-winning The Last Time We Spoke, for example, deals with the effects of home invasion as powerfully as does Ian McEwan's Saturday. In fact, Sussman may well have more impact, her story being about an ordinary family as opposed to what many critics regarded as McEwan's impossibly upper middle class/elite "victims".
Crime fiction now ranges far and wide geographically and covers all contemporary issues including illegal immigration, human trafficking, drugs, corporate corruption and the rest. Some even suggest that all literature is crime fiction, in that a "crime" of some kind invariably provides the "inciting incident".
Then, crime fiction is as much about character formation and development as any other literary form – think how Michael Connolly's Harry Bosch having been a Vietnam tunnel rat influences his cop career and behaviour. Ann Cleeves' Vera Stanhope, similarly, has a background story that shapes her police career. Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti, on the other hand, is the average everyday cop who gets on with his life, grumbling at the multiplying tourists who ravage his beloved Venice. In New Zealand, Paul Thomas' Maori cop, Ihaka, struggles as much with his family's social and political views as with Auckland crims.
I thought of Ihaka a lot in Rotorua where the role of Maori in New Zealand society is far more evident than in the South Island, as it is generally across the North, the result of a complex post-European 1840 annexation. The "land wars" were in the north, and the full range of the Maori experience occurred there with an impact on language, custom and tradition. More recently, Treaty of Waitangi settlements have had far more impact there (with due deference to Ngai Tahu achievements in the South Island).
This is not the place for a full discussion of the Maori trajectory fully, but it has been chequered. There have been highs: the Maori Battalion performance in numerous wars, and the achievements of people like Sir Peter Buck, Maui Pomare, Sir Apirana Ngata, Kiri Te Kanawa and Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan. But there have been lows: Maori like George Nepia being voluntarily excluded by a pakeha-dominated New Zealand Rugby Union from tours to South Africa; and the social ills portrayed by Alan Duff in Once Were Warriors. And then there are the health, education and welfare statistics that show Maori doing consistently worse than pakeha.
But as demonstrated in the marvellous Tangata Whenua: an Illustrated History by Atholl Anderson, Judith Binney and Aroha Harris, the Maori story lies at the heart of the whole New Zealand one.
For that reason, having Rotorua Noir begin with an official visit to the Ohinemutu Marae was a brilliant stroke. And that was compounded by our good fortune in having leading Maori cultural leader and academic Ngahuia Te Awekotuku as our official leader.
We were welcomed formally onto the Marae by the full force of Maori oratory, a reminder that this oral tradition reaches back to at least the thirteenth century. It was gently pointed out that, as writers, our spokespeople kept referring to their notes!
Ihaka would have loved it.
Over my days in Rotorua I returned to Ohinemutu, its wonderful village situated on Lake Rotorua and surrounded by thermal activity, because it signifies the complexity of the Maori journey since annexation. Ngahuia Te Awekotuku referred in her talks to Maori difficulties with "settlers", and those difficulties are long standing. Yet Ohinemutu remains staunchly Anglican with a marvellous church whose interior is dominated by Maori carvings and motifs mixed with Christian themes.
And close to the marae entrance stands a bust of Queen Victoria perched on a magnificent Maori-carved plinth. The bust was donated to Te Arawa in 1870 by the visiting Duke of Edinburgh. A few days before us, Ohinemutu was again visited by royalty, Harry and Meghan. Our hosts told lovely stories about interlopers trying to get in on the photographs.
Most moving for me, though, in the late evening light, was walking through the graveyard dedicated to those warriors who had served, then returned to normal lives. There are Maori in military graveyards across the world, and their service is being recognised increasingly, yet this is one of the most telling reminders of how much Maori have given to New Zealand and how relatively little they have had in return until recently.
Ihaka might have been moved, too.
Protagonists like him worldwide, then, have back stories along with their strengths, flaws, failings, quirks, absurdities and ordinariness.
All that and more was present in Rotorua where well-known, successful writers mixed readily with lesser lights, about-to-be and hope-to-be writers, and readers. The community just got together to encourage each other. Internationally acclaimed writers Michael Robotham, Alex Gray, Lilja Siguroardottir and Kati Hiekkapelto set an openness and approachability that helped a set of Kiwi writers get to know each other, having met previously only in the social media world – there was a lot of "really good to meet you here instead of on Facebook".
Sessions covered the full range from discussions of specific books through the tribulations of debut authors to film scripting, setting, character development, research and, inevitably, the mechanics of publishing.
By chance, that last topic has shot to prominence globally in the last few days with Ian Parker's New Yorker expose of Dan Mallory aka A J Finn, writer of the bestselling The Woman in the Window. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/02/11/a-suspense-novelists-trail-of-deceptions
If you haven't yet read about or caught up on this, you must!
It is a thriller in itself. Parker reveals Mallory as a serial liar who matches or exceeds Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr Ripley. Fittingly, Mallory wrote academic pieces on Ripley, then later lied about having not one but two PhDs. He also claimed to have lost his parents and a brother to cancer when they are very much alive, and to having had serious cancer himself when that is apparently not the case. Parker suggests Mallory falsified his credentials to gain senior positions in publishing. In a wonderful twist, Mallory became the editor for Sophie Hannah who was rewriting Agatha Christie. She grew suspicious, hired a private detective to dig into his story, then made the results a plot line in one of her own novels. You cannot make this stuff up, as they say.
Necessarily, a torrent of commentary has ensued, swinging largely around the idea that although women dominate the publishing workforce, charlatan males like Mallory reach the top more readily. It might well be more about why the industry did not deal with him long ago. One telling story is that half way through the bidding war for the book, A J Finn's real identity was revealed. Almost all bidders immediately withdrew with his own house left to buy the rights. He was a well-known problem but allowed to continue despite spectacular behaviours, like leaving urine-filled paper cups near out-of-favour colleagues' desks
It should be noted Mallory has denied most if not all these behaviours, and issued a statement saying that he has mental health issues. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/02/05/bestselling-author-dan-mallory-admits-wrongly-telling-people/
Even more seriously from a writer's viewpoint, there are now close investigations of Mallory's book itself, with suggestions it might not actually be that original. Some critics have pointed to it having a strong similarity to the 1995 film, Copycat, and others are likening it to other much lesser known books.
Leaving aside the obvious point that "originality" is moot – as discussed by Plato and Aristotle right through to Joseph Campbell's work on myth and Christopher Booker's more recent idea of seven basic plots – this may be the result of publishers looking for "more of the same". Because Pamela Hawkins' The Girl on the Train and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl worked so well, then publishing houses search desperately for equivalents and along comes The Woman in the Window.
Just one of the many strands here includes the idea that academia now routinely uses anti-plagiarism software like Turnitin. Does the publishing industry have such a weapon, and is it used even on the hottest property, or does the lure of the market dictate all actions?
One further irony is that for authors, getting reviews on Amazon is now so much more difficult. In wake of revelations about some authors reviewing themselves and deriding others, Amazon turned the screws. Now, in some cases at least, it seems that the screws should be on the book rather than its reviewers.
Ideally, this scandale would have coincided with Rotorua Noir. In our company, for example, was the wonderful Joanne Drayton whose The Search for Anne Perry identified that writer as having originally been Juliet Hume. Along with Pauline Parker, Hume was convicted of having killed Parker's mother in Christchurch in the early 1950s, but then relocated to America to successfully remake her life. Maybe Jo should write the Mallory biography.
But the Mallory event coming in the wake of Rotorua Noir has been stimulating enough and sharpens the reading. I am currently enjoying The Silent Death by Volker Kutscher of Babylon Berlin fame. It is good, but reminds me just how much we lost with the untimely death of Philip Kerr whose Bernie Gunther novels remain a marker of great crime writing.
Then, I am binge watching Season 2 of Fauda, an Israeli-made series featuring an undercover special forces unit and its campaign against Hamas. It is well written, underscoring the complex turns taken by Israeli and Palestinian interests and the surprisingly intertwined interests of all the rival factions. That level of complexity complicates personal as well as professional lives in a region where life is lived at maximum adrenalin. And an added bonus is the footage that shows the nature of living in crowded places like Ramallah and Nablus.
When I was working in Jordan, a Palestinian colleague asked how long it would take me to fly home to Melbourne in Australia. I said about 17 hours.
"That is about the time it will take me to get home from Amman to Nablus," he replied, "because of the checkpoints."
The distance between Amman and Nablus is 70 kilometres.
Fauda captures that intensity, even if there is the inevitable quibbling about its politics. https://www.reddit.com/r/Israel/comments/7y7ja2/opinion_fauda_creators_think_arabs_are_stupid_in/
In its own way, Rotorua Noir, too, caught an intensity – of Kiwi crime writing that is now much encouraged as a result, and looking forward to the next festival.

Internationalization @ Home
In its policy document Route 14+ the University of Twente has stated its wish that the campus should become an international meeting place for talented people. But what does the UT have to offer to international students? And are UT alumni really well prepared for a career in an international working context and environment? Do our curricula offer the knowledge and skills that they require to work in a globalizing world? In short, an international meeting place requires an international orientation of the education offered by the UT.
Two workshops will be offered.
Workshop 1 (11:45 – 13:15) focuses on experiences of alumni and students. Are our alumni well prepared for employment in an international environment? What did they miss? And do UT curricula suit international students for employment upon return home or elsewhere outside the Netherlands? Invited alumni, staff and students will give their views and will share their experiences with participants
Workshop 2 (13:30 – 15:00) discusses what makes a curriculum to be an international oriented curriculum. What are the characteristics? How to design course for an international classroom? Theory and practice will be dealt with, while reviewing the positive and less positive aspects of the UT curricula. What lessons can be learned?

Goddess Of Love
Voodoo Gods and Goddesses or 'Loa' are thought of
as the spirits of the Haiti practised Voodoo religion. They are
also sometimes known as the 'Mysteries' or the 'Invisibles' and are
served by their followers rather than worshipped. The Loa occupy
the middle realm between mankind and the creator 'Bondye' and serve as
an intermediaries between the two. Each Loa has a distinct
personality and history and is served in its own way, with each
favouring different songs, symbols, dances and offerings.
Erzulie Dantor is the Haitian Goddess or Loa of
love, passion, romance and jealousy. Most commonly (but not
always) pictured as a buxom black woman Erzulie Dantor is also normally
shown to bear scars. Known as a warrior woman and a ferocious
protector of women and children Erzulie Dantor is almost always pictured
holding her daughter 'Ta Koukoun'.
Erzulie Dantor is said to have been a fierce
warrior leader who fought with her people during the Haitian revolution,
however her people became fearful and cut out her tongue to prevent her
from revealing their secrets should she become captured. Because
of this Erzulie Dantor is often served by those who have been abused or
betrayed by loved ones.
One uplifting song dedicated to the Loa Erzulie
Dantor goes as follows:
Seven stabs of the knife, seven stabs of the dagger,
Lend me the basin so I can vomit my blood,
My blood is pouring down.
Erzulie Dantor favours the colours red, gold and navy blue and her favourite
offerings include fried pork and rum.

Arizona Humanities and the Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiatives and School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University are pleased to announce an exclusive Arizona tour of Water/Ways, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution.
Water/Ways explores the endless motion of the water cycle, its effect on landscape, settlement and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality. It looks at political and economic efforts to ensure access to water, and explores how human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways to protect water resources and renew our relationship with the natural environment.
Designed for small-town museums, libraries and cultural organizations, Water/Ways will serve as a community meeting place to convene conversations about water's impact on American culture. Towns will develop complementary exhibits, host public programs, and facilitate educational initiatives to deepen people's understanding about what water means culturally, socially and spiritually in their own community.
Colorado River (Blue Legacy International)
Seventy-one percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water impacts climate, agriculture, transportation, energy, and industry. It inspires art, literature, and music.
Water/Ways focuses on the relationships between people and water. How has water shaped our history and traditions? How does it impact our daily life? How will the relationship between people and water evolve in the future?

Systolic pressures are measured in sequence at different points along the legs, and compared to the pressure in the arms. By comparing the pressures, the physician can detect suspected blockages. Before The Procedure There are no special preparations for this test. You will be taken to the Vascular lab in a wheelchair or by stretcher. If a family member would like to go with you, they must be prepared to walk a great distance quickly. During The Procedure If you go by wheelchair, you will be asked to lie on a bed in an exam room for the test. There will be a short wait while the technician reviews your chart. Pressures will be taken on your arms. Pressures will also be taken up and down your legs. The technician will chart out these pressures on a map of the vascular system, and put it in your chart for your physician to review.
After The Procedure After a brief wait, you will be taken back to your room by wheelchair or stretcher. Your physician will explain the results of the test after he reviews the charted pressures.

Stage A Regulation 18 Site Proposals and Growth Options
We have already had our first consultation on more than 600 sites suggested to us by developers and landowners called "Site Proposals". This was accompanied by a "Growth Options" consultation on strategic policies to guide how and where different kinds of development might be distributed over the whole area.
A feedback report on the Growth Option consultation (the "Draft Statement of Consultation") is available here.
More information on the first stage of consultation, including all comments made on sites, is available here.
Stage B Regulation 18 New, Revised and Small Sites Consultation
The current consultation covers newly submitted sites, revisions to some of the sites already consulted on in January and small sites. Altogether, this comes to more than 200 sites. We need to get views on these sites to help us draw up our draft plan.
Except for the sites we have been asked to revise, we are not consulting again on the sites we asked for your views on in January. However, if a new site changes your opinion on a site we have already consulted on, please let us know.
The consultation runs from 9am on 29th October to 5pm on 14th December, 2018.
Click here to get more information and have your say on the new, small and revised sites.
Stage C Regulation 18 Draft Plan Consultation
The draft plan consultation will include the preferred planning strategy for the area to 2036 and the preferred sites we intend to allocate to achieve that strategy. Comments made through the draft plan consultation will help us to make any changes needed to the strategy and the list of preferred sites.
The aim is to then publish the final version of the plan (the Regulation 19 pre-submission plan) for a further round of consultation in early 2020 before submitting it to the Secretary of State for examination. Comments made at that stage will be considered through the formal examination process including public hearings in early 2021. The plan is expected to be adopted in late 2021.
To ensure the timely progress of the Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP), it will not be possible for the GNLP team to assess new or revised sites or settlement boundary extension proposals submitted after 31st December 2018. This does not apply to proposals for the redevelopment of brownfield sites in urban areas which Government policy requires us to support.
If you wish to promote a new or revised greenfield site or settlement boundary extension after 31st December 2018, you should submit representations to this effect in response to the GNLP Regulation 18 draft plan consultation. The draft plan consultation is scheduled to take place during January 2020. Once confirmed the final consultation dates will be published on the GNLP website. Please note, the onus will be on those submitting sites in response to the draft plan consultation to provide clear evidence, including sustainability appraisal that demonstrates why their site should be preferred to the site(s) within the draft strategy.

Tuckshop lady arms, bingo wings… there are many silly names for that pesky upper arm wobble many of us struggle to shift! If your regular exercises haven't left you with the tight and toned arms of your dreams, then you probably need to introduce some focussed arm strengthening. Read on to learn our five incredible arm toning exercises which will give you brilliant, speedy results from the comfort of your home.
Before jumping into the following exercises, you'll need to arm yourself with a couple of small dumbbells ranging in weight from 2kgs-4kgs (these can be picked up for under $10 from your local sports store). We also recommend warming up your muscles properly to prevent any injuries or strains—a few minutes of jumping jacks and air punches while bouncing on your Vuly trampoline would be perfect.
1. Stand comfortably with your feet slightly apart holding both dumbbells up beside your ears
2. Lift your arms up above your head and gently tap the dumbbells together, then bring down to the starting position. Remember that squeezing your core tight will provide you with more stability
1. Stand comfortably with your feet slightly apart, holding both dumbbells by your sides. Slightly rotate your hands inwards so the tops of your hands are facing forward, and the dumbbell is lengthways
2. Lift one arm up to the side without rotating, so the backs of your arms are engaged. Make sure you're not shrugging your shoulders or bending your torso
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend forward from the hips, so your torso is leaning forward slightly
2. Hold the dumbbells out in front of you, so each end is touching the other
3. Pull the dumbbells out to both sides with straightened arms, remaining in your forward leaning position. Remember to squeeze in your core and slightly bend your knees for stability
1. Stand in a neutral position with your feet shoulder-width apart
2. Using both hands to hold the bar of one dumbbell, hold it above your head, then slightly back
3. Lower the dumbbell behind your head until it is just behind your shoulders, then raise it back up to the original position
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend forward from the hips, so your torso is leaning forward slightly
2. Hold the dumbbells out in front of you, so each end is touching the other. Ensure your arms are straight
3. Pull both arms up so the dumbbells reach either side of your chest, then return to the original position
Let us know if you have undertaken some of our incredible arm toning exercises. Did you feel the burn?

A life is a life no matter how you see it,
it will always be a life
Little girls are killing babies,
"it is my body," they say,
But let me tell you a thing,
You aren't killing your body
What you are killing is an unborn life
Hi! I'm the unborn life,
I had dreams, goals and aspirations
just as any other person,
but you decided to shatter them,
to crush them on the wall,
to throw them to the deeps of the sea,
and to put an end not just to them
but to me.
I, the unborn life has something to tell you
It's not right for you to kill,
To kill a innocent life for your mistake,
If you had the courage to do it,
Have the same courage to have me.
A killer is not just a person
Who shoots someone to death,
A killer is any person
That takes away the life of another human being

text: New to Digital Nomad Lifestyle - Help Wanted Becoming Digital Nomad in Honduras#5652 By dlloud - Tue Sep 25, 2018 2:27 pm - Tue Sep 25, 2018 2:27 pm #5652 Hey All!I am working on arranging my job and my life to work remotely from Roatan, Honduras. I may potentially move to other locations in the next few years but as of now that will be my first remote adventure. I have traditionally worked in an office before and am definitely anxious about some of the tasks and requirements ahead of me. I will most likely be able to keep my current job (or work at the same company) which is awesome. There are a few main topics that I am not quite sure of. Any direction on these is greatly appreciated!- Are there any special immigrant / visa / tax laws I should be aware of prior to moving? Any forms / agencies I need to contact to verify my status? - How does taxation work as a US citizen working remotely in a foreign country, both for US and Honduran taxes?- My company supplies my computer and equipment due to security and legal reasons. Is there a great way to ensure I have access to new equipment or shipping services if the need arises? - High speed, reliable internet access is a must. Should I bank on Roatan having these services, or would I be better off getting a plug in network card for my computer? I am sure I am missing a few things - any and all advice is very welcome. Thanks in advance!

"Mastering Qualitative Data: The Process and Tools You Can Use" Barry Nagle, Gates Millennium Foundation
As researchers and evaluators, we know that qualitative data can provide rich information on issues such as teacher performance, student satisfaction, and other important areas. Qualitative data analysis, however, can be a daunting task. This workshop will focus on how to approach the data so that you can best develop an understanding on what you are studying. The first workshop phase focuses on how to organize the data to complete the data reduction process. Content Analysis and Thematic Analysis are the two critical skill areas that will be reviewed.
Two commonly tools that can facilitate quantitative data analysis will be demonstrated. Because it is so readily available, the first tool demonstrated is Microsoft Excel. It is a user-friendly program that is sufficient for many small projects. Larger data sets may require more powerful tools. The second tool reviewed will be QDA Miner Lite.

[ECHO] "Rollback" glitches and Item DuplicationBy [Ankama]DOFUS - ADMIN - June 22, 2019, 22:00:00
Hello again!
As promised earlier today, we're back with an update on the items that will be distributed to all subscribed accounts*, as a token of appreciation for your patience and understanding, as well as an apology for this huge inconvenience.
The following items will be gifted over the next week** and we will notify you once the distribution has been completed:
- 3x 24-hour Pearldrops providing 100 wisdom and 100 prospecting.
- 4x 1-day subscription tokens.
- 4x Almanax Calendar Pages, for those with the "Year of the Dragon" quest active.
* Subscribed at any point between Friday, June 21, and today, June 26.
** The 24-hour Pearldrop is being created for this purpose and in order to deployed into the game, we will have to wait until next week's update.
Amazing! Thank you and the amazing team!
Really happy there was no rholback :3
Thank you
so great ... im lvl 200 i paid 160$ for 100 000 ogrines to get 60 mk after that i bought stuff and i lost it all and what i get in return ? xp boost ? 4 days subscription ? almanax pages ??? all useless things .... ty ankama !
This sucks why u guys should every single particualr case if u not willing to take generalized actions, many of us don´t even know if loose something i mean im selling buying a lot of stuff everyday, i didnt even realized until i read this ... we all should stop subs.srr sincerly
What about the duped items? You guys duped items for 4% of the server..
I'm lost.. still lost.. Am I supposed to delete them, keep them or i'm supposed to still not play and wait on the glitch update!? I bet the majority already sold them.. am I being to honest here?
Cuz, I really do think, you guys doesnt care about the dupe glitch u cause Friday, that affected/affecting 4% of echo users // echo economy
so what will happen to the duplicated items and those who duplicated them? i need an answer before i play again
4% have been affected by the backup problem, but not all of those had duplicated items/resources.
This error is our responsibility, not yours; you shouldn't and won't be punished for it.
We have discussed the situation and we have established that these items/resources won't negatively impact the server's economy, considering how limited the duplication "side effect" to the backup problem was. You can keep them, and we will continue to go through the data, to recover the lost progress.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
i don't have duplicated items, i didn't lost progress , i don't want xp boost or free subscription i want my money back heres my ticket ive been waiting for 6 days #2372393
meatpiler|2019-06-27 21:40:33I didn't have duplicated items but I do have lost progress, items, and subscription time because of this.
support also refuses to discuss my name change with me because they have attributed it to the server problem. Not helpful at all, this is how you treat your Echo subscribers - hold a rollback over they heads for a week and do nothing for subscribers who lost progress and played game time due to your issue.
She already responded to you above. "Your main character was renamed for not being compliant with the naming convention rules of DOFUS. I invite you to discuss this further with the Support agent.
Seems like he got his prob fixed; his old name back @mdma.
Not sure why they changed it, if it's to rename him same exact name few days later.. that's.. weird?!
so this is everything we got from Ankama?
4 days subscription
4 almanax calender pages
and 3x 24 h pearldrops????
u think this is enough for the loss we took during this rollback??
I lost items in a worth 60 mk. We didn´t got any answer to this.
What am I missing? They didn't even rollback??
I really appreciate all the hard work the ankama team has been doing to resolve these issues! It's great to see we are being compensated for the wait, but my only concern is that i wold also like to be reimbursed for the ogrines i spent on the game, and hopefully given back the XP i lost.
1 week later, all we got was updates on the reasons why, we have a lack of services/ no support this week..
So Manaaia, this is the week end, what it means for the people, with paid services that waiting on support team.
For an update on the glitch should I refer to ur post, 6 days ago? when u told us last week end to wait on Monday for support since this is the week end?
Should I stop looking at my email/ticket and forum for the support we deserve for another week end?
The compensation is a start but some of us lost millions of kamas these small rewards do nothing for me at all! I'm sure its hard to go thru case by case but this situation is your fault therefore a small band-aid on a gaping hole isn't going to work guys. Again I appreciate the communication and the conversation on this issue. But wisdom and pp and 4 days of P2P isn't going to cover my losses or others for that matter. Meanwhile we have people on Echo with confirmed hundreds of millions in duped exo's etc walking away scratch free from this issue. I request Ankama does more for those of us seriously negatively affected! I also ask that fixes be implemented on bugged achievements that others above have mentioned. I understand that this all takes time but these are my concerns at this time.
[Ankama]DOFUS|2019-06-27 18:42:15...we will continue to go through the data, to recover the lost progress.
Could we get an interim message on how many characters of the "4%" have been re-equipped in the meantime?
Création:22 juin 2019 10:45 Dernière activité: Aujourd'hui à 13:14 ID#2372376 Statut: Résolu
Last activity on my ticket was today.. support put a resolve on my ticket.. ??
im lost!?
8th days it,s opened. Once I received an answer from the support, 4 days ago, it was for telling me to stop adding information... now it said resolve, with nothing else.. it's clearly not resolved ... nothing have changed.. so why the resolve status update at 1h14pm ?? Not a word on ticket and nothing changed on my accounts..!?
support copy and pasted a post from this thread, then also closed my ticket... starting to get pretty pissed off.
So, my problem stemmed from preparation for regearing my sacrier for the upcoming revamp and then being hit by this backup bug. The revamp coming on july 2 is great news! But seeing has how weekend and mothers' day is right before it, I doubt my or any other items will be reimbursed before the update. So, if my items are even GOING to be reimbursed, despite the overwhelming evidence of my loss of 6 main set items, I won't recieve them until likely far past the launch date of the sacrier revamp. This backup problem is becoming less about the time lost during the backup and more about how people not fully reimbursed before july 2 will not be able to get into the game and enjoy it immediately, if at all. I have confidence ankama will hopefully give items back in full just so things can be rolling again, but i'm going to severely hate not being able to play until this happens, especially after all this was caused by my prep for this very update. I would like to implore to the Ankama team that reimbursing lost items is an extremely important part of fixing this issue. The 4 days sub compensation is not enough. I am losing far more than 4 days lost play time due to not being able to play until my items are returned. Thank you for reading. This doesn't not just affect me but many others who lost the 30mk+ I did
agreed! i did not lose nearly as much as some of these poor ppl, but time lost in game greatly exceeds the four days we're being gifted, especially if the issue is not fixed in time for us to experience the new update with the levels and gear that we should have.
Hey there,
We are still working on the data recovery. Due to the update and maintenance delay the injection of the gifts will also be delayed. Please have a little more patience with us <_<
Talora, I suggest for the the individuals that lost high value items, you reference to their characters on the beta. I was able to screenshot the exact losses I had lost due to it, since inventory was carried over right before this issue occurred. I hope this helps.
Thank you for the idea with the Beta server, I've passed it on to the team.
Regarding the 4%, we can confirm none of the affected players have their items back yet, as it all stands and falls with the data recovery, which proofs more difficult than expected. This might still take more time to accomplish, but we reassure you that the update issue, which is handled by another team, is not delaying this issue. We are working on the data recovery and want to resolve it as soon as we can; we'll keep you updated on any progress.
i'm quoting Manaaia a GM: 2.52 is coming soon and there is still a lot to do. The people working on aspects of the release are also the people who are working on resolving this problem.
You know I cannot play since 22 june 9 am right, without the support I need after u guys did a huge mess on the three account im renting since 7 weeks and like an idiot, that trusted Ank. I paid for 1 years in advance?
-Ankama will do everything possible to ensure the proper operation of its Services and provide you with the Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Here we are 11 days later.. meanwhile some people received hundreds of millions in duped items.. me I lost more than 20% of my total: progression/enjoyment/exp/items/kamas/subtime as a new player (not over yet) when ur dev cause a glitch on ECHO Friday the 21 june that is still not fixed 12 days later
Can we speak of a refund at this point?
Does ur refund team is busy at moment ?
You clearly did not offer me a proper operation of ur service since employees of the company, im renting account, came and did a big mess on my rented accounts.
I cannot roll with a rented car that missing motor pieces
I cannot enjoy the poor quality of service that been offered since then, without a fix on my glitched accounts..
I've been enough patient almost 2 weeks later.. What about the support team, it feel like dealing with dictatorship.. look ur anka box talora
Can we speak about refunds now? I've paid 3x 1 yrs bill.. I've played 49 days and my service aint working properly since 11 days.. this is disgusting..
I should be gaming and enjoying a progression on my 3 main characters/accounts of 60 days right now..
Instead, I have to wait on a fix to get back my 49 days progression (possible RollBack for impacted characters/accounts), things like cawwot dofus/bankbox/auction house/full set of items/naked guys, since almost 2 weeks...
I bought ogrines then I sold them for IG kamas.. but I lost way more kamas during the glitch than what I received, in first place, during the ogrine xfer for kamas.
Since the mistake, june 21th, my rented accounts are heavily impacted with flat tires and more, I cannot use them..
I really do feel scam right now
