Nobody likes facing the thought of their own mortality, so it makes sense that we love the idea of cryonics, which would freeze our bodies solid until the day comes when we can be thawed out later, affording a level of immortality.
Cryonics is a concept that worked in Austin Powers, Demolition Man, Idiocracy, and to a lesser degree, Frozen.
Okay, so even if we can't thaw people with love like Elsa, surely we can do it with science, right? Modern medical science is completely amazing and is constantly doing things that only existed in our wildest sci-fi dreams before.
In order to understand where we are with cryonics as a reality, we don't need to look much further than a recent video from SciShow. As they explain, this technology is already in use in certain areas of human health and researchers are constantly working on improving methods to make it more feasible on a larger scale.
While the idea of using cryonics to gain immortality might be best left in fiction, there are some incredibly practical life-saving uses that we are very excited to see come into reality.

The 6821 Quintet consists of international artists coming together to fulfill the understanding that music brings disparate cultures together. The group will put on performances during the National Cherry Blossom Festival in March, and will be showcasing their musical artistry at various venues around the DC area.
First Prize winner in the First Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition in 2016.
In 2000, she caused a stir in the music world when she took top prize as the youngest-ever Japanese top prizewinner in the Junior Division of the 8th Wieniawski International Competition in Lublin. In 2011 she was awarded First Prize, as well as the David Garrett Award for outstanding musical interpretation in the International Music Competition Cologne.
In June 2004, Kishima performed with the Russian National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Spivakov. Her performance was lauded by a Russian newspaper, which said: "It's no wonder the great Mstislav Rostropovich calls her 'the world's best young violinist.' She awed the audience with her superb technique and mature understanding of the music."
In 2005, Kishima performed with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich (Rome and Madrid, February); the National Symphony (Washington, D.C., May); the London Symphony Orchestra (London, June); and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (Munich and other locations, July). She was praised by the influential Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, which said: "She was made known to the world by Rostropovich in the same way that Karajan made Anne-Sofie Mutter famous and Maazel made Hilary Hahn famous."
Kishima has participated in several recordings thus far. On the strong recommendation of Vladimir Ashkenazy, who had become Music Director of the NHK Symphony Orchestra, she performed "Tzigane" on Ravel: Orchestral Works. She has also released the solo albums Chaconne and Rise. The recording of her performance at the 2015 Progetto Martha Argerich festival in Lugano was included in the live recording CD Argerich & Friends, released on Warner Music in May 2016.
Currently Kishima is based in Paris and Cologne and performs frequently in Europe. Her recent activities include performances at the Martha Argerich festival in Lugano, and concerts with the Saito Kinen Orchestra and Mito Chamber Orchestra.
Kishima has received instruction from Izumi Hayashi, Kazuyo Togami, Toshiya Eto, Dorothy DeLay, Masao Kawasaki, Machie Oguri, Chihiro Kudo and others. She also participated in the Seiji Ozawa Academy in Switzerland in 2008 and 2009. In spring 2012, she graduated with the top grade from the Hochschule fur Musik in Cologne, where she studied with Zakhar Bron. In autumn 2015, she graduated at the top of her class from the graduate school of the Hochschule fur Musik, with all professors awarding her highest grades, and received Germany's national qualification for musicians.
In 2002, Kishima received a fellowship for overseas study from the Japanese Ministry of Culture.

Looking, seeing better than ever - de-aging
I was at a small intimate cocktail party on Sunday evening and ran into a past client who hadn't seen me in 11 years. "Sandy, how is it you look better than you did when I last saw you 11 years ago you must have had a lot of work done!" No, I simply have turned my blood into alkaline instead of acid and I have cleaned up my diet (all organic) and I am on the AltWaters™ program from Carol Keppler. She was certain I had had surgery and not just a little amount of it. Blessings."
- Sandy B. , Scottsdale, AZ
"I am 53 years old and have been on this program for 4½ years. I have worn contacts for 40 years and went for my yearly check up and my ophthalmologist informed me that for the 3rd straight year my eyes had improved from when he first began treating my eyes. I have improved my eye sight 50% I feel this improvement is directly related to the AltWaters™ water formulas."

•The secret to cool bodies and glazes is a lot of testing.
Sign-up at https://insight-live.com today.
Ball milling
A device used to reduce the particle size of materials, bodies or glazes. A ball mill is simply a container that is filled with pebbles (either of porcelain or stones e.g. Flint) into which a charge (powder or slurry) is put and that is then mechanically rotated to cause the tumbling pebbles to crush particles that happen between them. Ball mills can be continuous or periodic, they can be small or gigantic, low speed or high speed, rotated or vibrated or both. For maximum efficiency a ball mill should be made of, or lined with, a porcelain or other very hard surface (so grinding also occurs between the wall and the balls), the balls should be of a range of sizes (to maximize points of contact), the mill should have the correct quantity of balls and the charge should be an optimal amount (over charging reduces efficiency). Various compromises are often made (for example rubber lining mills to reduce wear and noise).
Can we ball mill a clay and make it more colloidal? Yes.
This 1000 ml 24 hour sedimentation test compares Plainsman A2 ball clay ground to 10 mesh (left) with that same material ball milled for an hour (right). The 10 mesh designation is a little misleading, those are agglomerates. When it is put into water many of those particles break down releasing the ultimates and it does suspend fairly well. But after 24 hours, not only has it settled completely from the upper section but there is a heavy sediment on the bottom. But with the milled material it has only settled slightly and there is no sediment on the bottom. Clearly, using an industrial attrition ball mill this material could be made completely colloidal.
Make your own ball mill rack - Front side
Particle size drastically affects drying performance
These DFAC testers compare the drying performance of Plainsman A2 ball clay at 10 mesh (left) and ball milled (right). This test dries a flat disk that has the center section covered to delay its progress in comparison to the outer section (thus setting up stresses). Finer particle sizes greatly increase shrinkage and this increases the number of cracks and the cracking pattern of this specimen. Notice it has also increased the amount of soluble salts that have concentrated between the two zones, more is dissolving because of the increased particle surface area.

In the 1970s, the size of the average home in the UK peaked at 83.3sqm, but the average size of a new-build home (built since 2010) is now just 67.8sqm - smaller than two London Tube carriages. This space squeeze has prompted demand for customised, space-efficient furniture to soar.
In a direct response to this trend, entrepreneurs Phil Marsh and Colin Ibberson have joined forces to launch Hudel Living, a new online furniture store dedicated to selling space-saving furniture and accessories, including beds, wardrobes, drawers and desks.
Phil and Colin have 16 years' experience designing, manufacturing and assembling bespoke furniture that enables their customers to make the most of tight spaces and small, 'box-sized' rooms. Now the duo want to bring bespoke furniture to the masses after seeing demand for their space-efficient furniture increase year-on-year as a result of shrinking living space in the UK.
The website, HudelLiving.co.uk, will sell customisable modern and affordable furniture alongside space-saving accessories, with each product range carefully designed to maximise functional space and perfectly fit the dimensions of most small rooms.
Commenting on the launch, co-founder of Hudel Living, Phil Marsh, says: "It's well known that there is a shortage of housing across the UK and developers of new homes can't build them fast enough to hit quotas. But the other side of this problem is less talked about - not only are there not enough houses, but the ones being built are shrinking in size. This means that modern families need to make the most of smaller spaces in order to live comfortably.
"The demand for customisation has continued to grow, with nearly 50% of consumers under the age of 40 seeking personalised products or services, but unfortunately custom-built furniture is expensive and out of reach for most of us. That's why, in response to customer demand, we've created and sourced a range of furniture that can be bought in a variety of size options chosen especially to fit most small, box-sized rooms and fully-customised to the customer's specifications with accessories. This means that each piece of furniture will not only fit the room perfectly, but will also fit the lifestyle of the customer - exactly what you need when space is at an all-time premium."
"Its well known that there is a shortage of housing across the UK and developers of new homes cant build them fast enough to hit quotas"

The academic year 2010-11 was particularly memorable for the members of the Basaveshwara fraternity. The degree college which was set up with only the Commerce faculty in 1982, boasts of Arts, Science and Management faculties as well now. The college celebrated the silver jubilee in a grand and befitting manner.
This NAAC accredited institution was reaccredited with a 'B+' grade in 2017, for a further period of five years. This has given an impetus for further growth and improvement. The college is located in a good residential area and is well-connected to all parts of the city. The class-rooms are spacious and well ventilated. The corridors and staircases are broad and well planned. A large playground and a beautiful garden add joy to learning.

Different Views for Different DevicesPosted by denny.lecompte in Product Blog on Feb 25, 2010 5:01:00 PM
One of the most appealing things about Orion is the ability to drill-down from high-level info into details. You see something green or red on the screen, you click on it, you go to a view that has more details about the thing you clicked on. It's powerful yet simple. That simplicity of interaction comes from a sophisticated object model. Users almost always start at a Summary view. Summary views typically show everything across the managed network—e.g., all nodes, or all applications, or all network interfaces. If you click on a node from a summary view, you go to Node Details view. That view will show lots of information about the node.
In most cases, for most devices, you will go to exactly the same Node Details view. It'll show the same data in the same locations on the screen, just for the specific device you clicked. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can, for many devices, create a distinct view. For instance, by default, wireless controllers have a different node details page because these devices include data that makes sense only for this device type (e.g., a list of "thin" access points).
The Orion construct we used to build the wireless view (and also the VMware ESX view) is Views by Device Type. We have a list of many common network devices that allow custom views; however, when we ship a new Orion, most of those views are set to the default view. You can use this same technique we used to build your own custom views for particular devices.
Here's a default view:
Here's a view for wireless controllers.
How do you set up views by device type? First, you need to create a custom view for a type of device. Go to Admin > Manage Views. From here you can add a completely new view or you can copy the existing Node Details view and then modify it.
There are lots of resources to choose from in building something custom.
Next, you go to Admin > Views by Device Type > Node, then click edit. You'll then click the drop-down box and select the name of the custom view you created. You can repeat for each node type, if you want to get into serious customization.
Note that we have the same construct for different of network interfaces, so you can customize there, too.
Views by Device Type allows you to further customize your Orion web console. You might show different stats for Windows and Linux servers. Or you might use different Custom HTML or User Links resources for HP Switches vs.Cisco switches. Throw in a few universal device pollers, and you have a bunch of device-specific "dashboards". It's a powerful feature that isn't used as often as it might be, so give it a spin.

okay, so this month–this year–has been super-rough on me (really, on all of us), so things have not moved apace the ways that i might have wanted.
that being said, this is not that kind of post: this is a collection of the bits and bobs i've enjoyed this year, the events that have been super-cool, and the things that need to be celebrated.
before i get into those lists, i'm still trying to figure out what my projects should be for 2017, so if y'all have suggestions, leave a comment, yeah? i'm thinking another sketch-a-day, but i don't know what else.
on to the weird lists of lists.
the bits and bobs:
- so, let's start off with freakin' critical role: nerdy ass voice actors rolling dice and playing dungeons & dragons. this live-action, old-school d&d campaign has been a revelation–and, i say this as someone who played their first d&d campaign at, like, 5? 6? (my much elder brother was my first dm.) it's influenced my writing and my art and has just generally been this comforting thing that's simultaneously the best sort of nostalgic and the best sort of relevant to my interests–especially since games like d&d are the most participatory of participatory culture and really caused me to understand where some of my own interests and beliefs about the importance and necessity of participatory culture and fandom originated. it's gonna suck you in and hold on to you in ways that you're not going to expect and hurt in ways that only your best and worst fandom experiences hurt. watch the thing; love the thing.
- the other massively important to my everything this year, media-wise, was maggie stiefvater's the raven cycle. this is the other thing that really impacted my writing (and my thinking) this year. there's nothing like a group of characters who have such an intense mutual respect, awe, and affection for each other who each simultaneously think that they're garbage. the gangsey are beautiful flawed and fractured and fit together in ways that only soulmates in the truest sense fit. there are queer characters, privileged characters (who are very aware of their privilege), strange characters, amazing characters, awful characters, characters of color (and an argument that there are a lot more characters of color than some people would think) and the loving depiction of underage drag-racing and delinquency all mixed up and sewn together with magic and intrigue, devils and psychics, and the search for a welsh king that's really as much a metaphor for searching for one's self as anything else. and, there's kavinsky. thing high atop the thing, do i love my dumpster-fire son. you're gonna hate him and love him and hate him more (and probably love him even more if you're like me).
- okay, for the record, i read the magicians (book) and basically came away with the firm belief that lev grossman actually hates the entire fantasy genre like whoa. however, that being said, i absolutely adore the magicians tv series. i love (most) of the choices that they made–choices that, to me, made more sense in a narrative sense–and the choices that i don't absolutely adore are things that came from the books that were arguably necessary for the integrity of the plot and universe, but yeah, i still could have lived without them or have had them shifted to other characters. yet, whenever one of these choices came up–and, yeah, these are massively fucking triggering choices–there was always ALL THE WARNINGS as well as helpline and hotlines provided. it's one of the most kind, caring things i've seen in mainstream media since west wing's post-9/11 episode "isaac and ishmael". but, quentin is actually tolerable–more than tolerable, really–and his realization of how actually awful chatwin is and how that tears apart the love of a world and work that chatwin created (but not really because fillory is real, after all) was so important and reflective of things that came to light this year. penny is an actual asshole, but he's also actual awesome. margot, who's a combination of a couple of characters really, is just–she's just so awesome in so many ways and is so aware of how broken she and the world is. margot's everything is a gift. alice, while being frustrated in her retiring shyness, is such a literal badass and doesn't deserve anything that happens to her–much like julia who was so absolutely determined that she would have the magic of brakebills that made certain that she remembered and then learned to be a magician. again, badass. and, then there's katie, who i love and need more of, and let me just say, eliot is a literal gatsby party and is going to become more of one from the looks of things. the first season is up on netflix, and the second season starts soon.
- again on the "i didn't really like the book(s), but omg, the tv adaptation is amazing" is the shadowhunters. based on cassandra clare's *spits* the mortal instruments series–which its existence is an entire novel of issues in its own right and something to be aware of if you're a fandom kid–it does things that i could only have hoped for from the novels and does not fuck about with malec. just–this is lovingly created and well-written. give it a try.
- stitchers. it's a scifi crime drama that is just–i don't know. it's amazing and thoughtful and has an amazing diverse cast, and i'm here for it. i'm gonna just leave it at that.
- and, while we're in scifi-land, sense8. okay, i know it was 2015; i don't care because the christmas special makes it 2016. created by the wachowski sisters, there are problems with it and narrative and aesthetic decisions that could have been meditated upon more thoroughly, but i wholeheartedly adore this show that has an interestingly new twist on an older trope: group, shared consciousness. except, that this group consciousness is shared between people in groups of eight, groups known as clusters who are being hunted and used (mostly against each other) and just–yeah. the cast is diverse in culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, and interest, and their group experience scenes (which are occasionally very nsfw) are amazing and touching and everything that i really wanted. seriously, watch the videos about how they film the scenes with multiple sensates in it because it's fucking amazing. to quote riley, "we took our first breath together; now, it's time to celebrate that breath together."
- deadpool. seriously, i've loved deadpool forever, and the movie was everything i wanted minus a french maid's outfit.
- furious 7. freakin' sucked me into the entire fast and furious universe, and i love and hate everything. (i know it was 2015; i don't care. it still makes me happy and is still causing me to be sucked into everything.)
- mad max: fury road. since i basically grew up with these movies, i was just so absolutely pleased with everything about it and, yeah, punch-pleased. (i know it was 2015; i don't care. it still makes me happy and is still affecting my life.)
- star wars: the force awakens. you love swtfa, or you're wrong. (i know it was 2015; i don't care. it still makes me happy. also, i haven't seen rogue one yet, so let me have this.)
- ghostbusters. seriously, if you didn't enjoy the new ghostbusters, you should probably show yourself out right now because holtzmann is my everything, and patty is amazing.
- person of interest, which i totally was late to the game for, is exactly the foucauldian surveillance nightmare that i love. the final season aired, but i'm currently too afraid to watch it.
- the welcome to night vale novel–which, yeah, came out in 2015, but i didn't read it until this year (well, listened to it because, really, you listen to wtnv)–was something that i as a hardcore fan of welcome to night vale loved. i understand that it might have been too much for non-wtnv readers because, really, there's a fuckton of mythology that just doesn't make sense if you haven't been listening to the podcast forever, but i loved it, and it was everything that i wanted.
- steven universe. still is the most thoughtful, heart-wrenching, heartfelt, amazing show.
- miscellaneous tv shows and movies and things: stranger things, star trek: beyond, voltron (reboot), pokemon go, revisiting digimon, sailor moon crystal, gravity falls (i was late to this), dark matter, lucifer (i'm really behind), the last witch-hunter, and penny dreadful (also, very behind).
- there's also a fuckton music (new and old and previously obsessed with and obsessed with again): hamilton (the broadway recording and the mixtap–if you haven't listened to hamilton yet, you are totally missing out), chvrches, the chainsmokers, halsey, birdy, florence +the machine, portishead, massive attack, lana del rey, lorde, twenty one pilots, hayley kiyoko, grimes, marina and the diamonds, kavinsky (not the same as the raven cycle), daughter, mikky ekko, rufus wainwright, the naked and famous, hannah fury, johnny hollow, sky salt, nouvelle vague, and heather perry and the ______s (who i actually went to art school with and have eps that aren't actually available anymore).
there so could have been more books in here, i think? i just–kinda got distracted by other things, but i have been reading things, just not traditional media? i might also be super behind on my comic book reading, video game playing, and tv watching? *whistles*
awesome events:
this was my first year of being a con-kid, and while it could have gone better, it definitely went well. but, my favorite event continues to be nerdcon: stories. of course, it might not exist anymore, and i'll be very sad if it goes the was of the dodo.
the brown county library comic con was definitely the runner up.
i mean, being able to essentially play for a living (not that there's currently much of living in it, but i'm working on it) is a privilege, but don't for one minute think that playing for a living doesn't equate doing work. honestly, having a normal day job would be a lot less stressful and a lot more profitable, but that's not why one takes up a career in the arts.
i feel like the sub-heading here is super misleading. *hands*
things to be celebrated:
- okay, again, my first year of being a con-kid. i'm still kinda sitting over here going WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO, but at the same time, i'm here for it.
- successful completion of nanowrimo, which was my ninth or tenth year participating.
- the creation of a glittering venery, which was my nanowrimo project as well as a large part of my sketch-a-day this year.
- self-publishing my first illustration book, which was part of a glittering venery.
- being brave enough to post bits and pieces of my nanowrimo a glittering venery novel as i wrote it on one of my imzys.
- and, then cross-posting it to my ello.
so, yeah, there's a partial round-up of stuff and things.
if y'all have suggestions for one-a-day projects this year, or just suggestions in general, please leave a comment.
2016 is almost over. we're gonna make it.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers over my procedure yesterday. Everything went well, and other than a stiff neck due to how they had me positioned, I'm fine. 🙂 More news! My Step-dad and I are working on an aquaponics system. I'll take pictures and post them when we get things figured out. On that note, it's off to Amazon.com to see what new things they can inspire us all to today.

Will Self – Novelists are Gods
Will Self writer/thinker/polemicist/critic and an avid walker, returns to Hull brandishing a new text commissioned by Humber Mouth, published by Wrecking Ball Press, Responding to the theme How Was Your Day? He will shortly read the work in his unmistakable drawl, but first Will espouses his fondness for Hull.
He talks knowledgeably about walks he has taken along the Holderness Coast, from Flamborough to Spurn Point, how he got a great deal of satisfaction by walking on and below, the cliff edges. Referencing a news item on Nationwide, he recalls footage of a man whose hard-standing is disappearing, at a rate of six feet every year. 'Silly fucker, you're on a cliff,' he says pointedly, raising a laugh from the crowd.
One of the reasons behind the walk was that Will rather liked the idea of walking upon a vanishing landscape – like a work by artist Richard Long. Whilst admiring the giant concrete sound mirrors, used to give early warning for Zeppelin raids during the war, barely 50 yards away a part of the cliff face came away and crashed below. Recalling a second trip he'd took with his son, where the two walked from London to Whitby he clearly remembers crossing the Humber Bridge: 'Hull looked beautiful… after four days in Lincolnshire: and it was raining,' another laugh.
Introducing the art of memoir writing and his reading, Will explains he has taken an unorthodox approach and written himself as a character in the piece. Using the quote by Friedrich Nietzsche he expands on the idea of memoir, memory and the desire to create more favourable versions of yourself. "Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields."
It is set in an institution of sorts, where he is undergoing treatment for drug addiction he reads:
'On another occasion, when I accused him and his fellow counsellors of brainwashing us, he was unrepentant: We have to wash your brain, Will… he angled his cleanly-shaven chin at me, adamant: because it's dirty…'
The question How Was Your Day? annoys him as he recalls his time at the centre, faced with punitive rules and regulations, he recalls visits from a girlfriend, his father, vigils with a night watchman, concluding how these events collectively, become the substance of self. From my understanding, this commissioned piece will develop, in time, into a larger work.
'Remember Tony Blair wearing glasses, everyone thought he was losing his grip,' says Will launching into a polemic against political correctness over myopia and Mr. Magoo concluding, 'It is because of the demographic reversal, the blow of age when they put on their glasses and look at their loved ones,' more laughter, particularly from the direction of the more senior persons, sitting in the audience.
Introducing his modernist trilogy Umbrella (short-listed for Man Booker in 2012) Shark (2014) and the latest Phone published in July this year. I see with mild amusement that I have scrawled 'bone' in my notes. 'Technological innovation… warfare… evolution in human psychopathology…' he says, expanding upon the themes in the book.
Digressing for a moment, he sits in his chair upon the library stage and ponders the question, 'How does the novel come about?
'Novelists are Gods, there was a time where they'd be greeted at the station by the Mayor and Mayoress with invites to a swinging party; nubiles with cocaine in their belly buttons: now it's a couple of Twixs and cup of tepid tea,' he says suddenly looking downcast and forlorn.
Connecting the gun emplacements, which provided the most efficient way to kill, along the Flanders frontline in 1915-18, to the advent of the Model T Ford production line in Detroit years earlier, he outlines modern warfare. 'Nuclear power… atomic bomb… World War II. The Indianapolis had delivered parts of the first atomic bomb when it was hit, sending a 1000 men into the water.' It is reported that surrounded by sharks they awaited rescue but none came. Will likens this to an act of collective punishment by Mother Earth. Turning to more recent times he describes the Iraq War, as being 'bi-directional' then ties together digital media, autism and Alzheimers, suggesting the smart phone came about just at the right time for an ageing population: '… a pervasive urban myth that smart phones were created by non-empathetic autists…'
Will reminds the audience that 500 of our armed forces died in Afghanistan. 'That many were lost in just three minutes during the first day of the Somme. We have out sourced warfare, wage war for the wrong reasons and in bad faith, believing the responsibility to lie with the Army, Secret State, M16 and the political classes,'
He begins to read from new novel Phone describing how the Times Reviewer had said it was 'imbuggeringly difficult'. We catch up with the now 78 year old psychiatrist protagonist Zack Busner, who is considering the exotic breakfast, provided in the Hilton, Manchester. 'Shape shifting legume, monstrous artichoke… tonging black bread' enjoying the descriptions I glance at the Stage screen to my left, translating into text the words, just seconds after Will reads them. The words 'Lord' and 'Coe' flash up momentarily… I think our woman in London is finding the verbose prose a tricky proposition. Perhaps this digital stenographer – one of just 23 in the country who turn voice into text in this way so rapidly – is the unsung hero of the festival?
'No Caller ID' Busner is now ruminating on the phones capacity for sentience, in order to make this determination.
He embarks on a second reading, introducing a character called Camilla, sat in the passenger seat recalling hazy fragments of what we can only assume, is a real incident, namely a rape in a rape field. It is visceral language, emotive description, an inner monologue, set against the banality of a car journey in the rain, her autistic son endlessly counting things from the back seat.
Will makes an observation about the statue of Larkin in the station – perhaps thinking about his own journey home: 'No way was he 7 foot high, maybe it is a weird rarified metaphor for Larkin's work – talk me through that one Hull Council… when you've got the time.'
The final reading is set in an army barracks where officers pore over a laptop screen, viewing images of barbarism, with severed body parts littering the screen. The atrocities are discussed by the British officers with horrifying nonchalance. The descriptions of what they are seeing on the screen become more and more extreme, repugnant. The characters within this passage, can only be viewed in the lowest possible terms, despite them all being middle and upper class toffs: serving officers seemingly playing at army.
I become entranced by the screen again, noting which words appear and which do not, as if the screen is making a judgement call, on what is suitable for our eyes to see.
With barely a wave Will Self concludes the passage adding, 'I hope I've proved it's not difficult, never mind imbuggeringly so; whatever that means,' then hurriedly, he departs the front of the stage.
Maybe that is the point, the abruptness leaving you with feelings of repulsion, sullied. Maybe the line about 'Ali Babas' didn't play as well as he thought it might… Having imparted something of himself on us, maybe it is we who now posses the dirty brain.

Four Tips for Loving Yourself
We all know how important it is to love ourselves, but how many of us find it easy to do that?
Here's four tips to help you.
1. Keep good boundaries
Know what makes you feel good and what doesn't feel good. You can even write a list of the things that are important for you. And remember this is all about you. Nobody else needs to see the list.
When you know what doesn't feel good to you, you know that this is your boundary. For example, if you feel ignored when something exciting happens for you and your partner dismisses it – this is the boundary that can't be crossed. Because it hurts when he/she does that.
The way you feel tells you what's right and wrong for you.
Let your friends and family know what your boundaries are. If they cross your boundaries and ignore your needs there should be consequences that you will stick to.
Remember that relationships are two-way streets and it's as valid for you to have your wants and needs met as it is for you to meet the other person's wants and needs. Let your partner or friends or family know what the consequences will be.
Only you know what the consequence can be, it has to fit in with your values and views. It may be that you'll stop mentioning things to your partner, or you'll stop picking up all the kids' toys, or you'll spend more time with girlfriends, or you'll consider whether a relationship is right for you.
Be clear about your intention. If someone continually crosses the boundary that you've set you must follow the consequence that you set. This is such an important step. If you can't follow through, the boundary collapses in that moment.
If you start to falter remember – you are worthy of love and respect. That is all.
2. Do the things for you that you'd do for others
Treat yourself as you would someone you love. If you find it hard to do that consider doing some inner child work and find the place that you started to believe you weren't worthy of self care.
It is absolutely necessary to look after yourself. You're not being selfish by putting yourself first! You're looking after you first, so that you have a full tank in order to give to others. You're helping others way more when you come from a place of emotional fullness yourself.
Treat yourself always with kindness and gentleness. No harsh words. No 'mean girl' comments. No words to yourself that you wouldn't say out loud or to another person.
Practice! It takes practice. Be mindful of your words and actions.
3. Find support
Anything is easier when you have a circle of trusted friends and allies. Draw your family members, kids, or closest girlfriends around and let them know that you're putting boundaries in place, putting yourself first and creating a new you who loves herself! Or have one special friend who you know will be 100% behind you and ask her to support you. And if you can't talk with friends or family maybe you could look at joining an online group to be with people who are going through exactly the same things as you are.
Being able to share what you are doing and have support close by is a great resource for you.
4. Have fun
Whatever you do and however you do it, always remember to have fun.
When you are in a space of fun, lightheartedness, joy and appreciation we lift our vibration. When you lift your vibration you attract similar energy to you.
What's within us will shine out and attract people, event, situations and circumstances to you that match that vibration, so keep that joyful, gracious and happy state as often and for as long as you can.
And when we're happy.. we're happy! Make it a priority for you to find your happy, every day.

Win Global Electrical Appliance Ltd offers several different humidifiers, including warm mist (shown) and ultrasonic models
Today's consumers are taking their well-being into their own hands, looking for appliances that not only help relieve ailments but also monitor optimum health. From massagers to concepts utilising acupuncture points, East meets West in Hong Kong's ever-widening choice of popular health aids.
Foremost among cutting-edge companies is Hong Kong Zhoulin BFS Co Ltd, which specialises in health appliances using a Bio Frequency Spectrum (BFS) concept. Marketing officer Suki Lee claims, "BFS helps improve health, circulation and body function by irradiating affected areas, or the relevant acupuncture points."
Established in 1993, the company's factory and head office in Beijing produces around 10 BFS products including health care sets, shoes and sauna houses.
"Our care sets simulate the body's spectrum and use irradiation to adjust the organs and ensure they are working normally," says Lee. "They are suitable for hospitals, clinics and home use, as the equipment comes with directions for treating affected areas and appropriate acupuncture points."
The company enjoys ISO 9001 certification and CE approval and has won nine international awards for its patented products. "Our products have also been tested by the Institute of Measurement Science of China to confirm they emit no harmful rays," adds Lee. "The main market is the Chinese mainland, followed by Europe and Asia."
There are no minimum order requirements and prices are available on request. Delivery is four weeks after order confirmation.
A more down-to-earth approach to health is taken by Yick Li Industrial (HK) Co Ltd, which produces a pedometer and two conductive pad massagers at its 5,000-square-metre mainland factory in Dongguan.
"We developed these products in response to customer demand," says marketing executive Chan Mei Ling. "Based on step distance and a person's weight, our pedometer can estimate the number of calories burned." The pedometer has an alarm and time function and easily clips on a wristband or belt.
The two conductive pad massagers are battery operated, adds Chan. "Our smaller model YL-978 has three massage modes - tapping, massaging and kneading - and five auto massage choices for shoulder, lower back, arms, joints and legs," she says.
The YL-981 model can be manual or automatic. "The manual function has tapping, manipulating and kneading options, and the auto massage courses are for shoulder, waist, leg and foot and the treatment of arthrosis."
The pedometer is available for US$2 per piece FOB Hong Kong, the YL-978 massager costs US$4, and the YL-981 massager US$5.50. Yick Li currently supplies the UK, Netherlands and US markets. Minimum order is 1,000 pieces delivered approximately 40 days after order confirmation.
Two particularly ingenious products are manufactured by 13-year-old watch and clock manufacturer Latitude Ltd; whose 11,000 square-metre-factory in Shenzhen has been producing Heart Meter and Gamma Master watches under the Latitude brand name for the past year.
"Our specialist digital watches have been developed using new technology in strategic partnerships with US companies," says business development director Ricky Law.
The Heart Meter watch is a heartbeat calculator based on ECG technology. "Most regular models require chest straps but ours can give heart rate measurements within 4-5 seconds by simply touching the front button sensor," he says. "It has a range of 40-200 beats per minute and a memory of 20 records with date and time stamp."
Fitness fanatics and those concerned about their heart rate can use the Heart Meter as a regular alarm watch with a 1/100 second chronograph, 42-lap memory and countdown timer.
Latitude's Gamma Master watch is highly specialised, detecting and measuring exposure to gamma radiation. "We are only the second company in the world to make this type of watch, which helps pilots, doctors and military personnel assess their exposure to dangerous gamma rays," claims Law.
The company's biggest market is Europe, followed by Japan. "We will continue to focus on Europe as it is a more mature market for specialised items," says Law.
The Heart Meter is priced at US$20 per piece FOB Hong Kong and the Gamma Master costs US$150 for minimum orders of 1,000 units delivered 60-90 days after order confirmation.
Other handy health monitors come from Leona Electronics Co Ltd, whose 500-square-metre factory in Dongguan produces a specialised range of 20 medication reminders and medical assessment calculators utilising different pharmaceutical and medical formulas.
The Coronary Risk-LDL Calculator, for example, calculates the risk of heart disease on a five and 10-year timescale, and includes LDL cholesterol calculations.
Other products include the Breast Cancer Assessment Calculator and the Diabetic Risk Calculator, which assesses risk according to information from the American Diabetes Association and includes blood sugar level monitoring and glucose unit conversion.
"Our most popular model is the Coronary Risk Calculator," explains CEO Leo Ho. "The medication reminders utilise a special alarm program that enables the user to input medication frequency according to medical advice, triggering the alarm to automatically signal the time to take the medication."
Europe accounts for 60% of Leona's business with the US taking the remainder. "We are also looking at new markets such as South America and Australia and are looking at developing new products related to calorie intake and nutrition."
Leona produces its standard range under its Medi-Cal brand and also accepts OEM orders. Product prices range from US$2.50-6.50 FOB Hong Kong per item. Delivery takes 45 days for a minimum order of 1,000 units.

Neymar Net Worth
Neymar net worth and salary: Neymar is a Brazilian football (soccer) player who has a net worth of $185 million dollars. Neymar da Silva Santos Junior, commonly referred to as simply Neymar, was born in Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil, and began playing football with his father, a former player. He showed real talent early on, and after his family relocated to Sao Vicente, he began playing for the youth team, Portuguesa Santista. From there, he was invited to join the youth academy of Santos FC. He then moved to Spain to train with the youth team of Real Madrid. At age 17, he made his senior debut with Santos FC, and scored his first goal during his second game. His first two seasons of senior player were excellent, but he gained a reputation for being difficult and for taking unnecessary dives. He apologized and got his act together. Since then, he has gone on to a very successful career. He played for Santos FC until 2013, when he moved to Barcelona FC. He has won numerous awards, including the South American Footballer of the Year Award in 2011.
Neymar Net Worth Over Time:
When Neymar was just 17 years old, he signed his first major contract with the Brazilian team Santos. This contract paid him $1.7 million per year. A year later, Santos attempted to lock Neymar down with a $20 million longer term contract extension. Neymar rejected the offer because he knew the competition in the Brazilian leagues would not be as good as the European leagues and would therefore hinder his chances at becoming the best player in the world. He did eventually sign a short term contract with Santos that paid him $4 million per year, but allowed him to seek new options in the meantime. In 2013, Neymar signed a $119 million contract with Barcelona. This mega deal paid him an average of $15 million per year in salary. Neymar also earned an estimated $16 million per year from endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Konami and L'Oreal. That brought his total annual earnings to roughly $30 million between 2013 and 2017. On August 2, 2017, Neymar signed a deal that will have him transfer to French club Paris Saint-Germain. Under the terms of the deal, Neymar will earn a record-breaking $1.02 million per week, roughly $53 million per year in salary alone. When combined with his endorsements, Neymar will earn around $70 million per year. Between June 2017 and and June 2018, Neymar actually earned $90 million, of which $20 million came from endorsements and $70 million came from salary and bonuses. He earned roughly the same amount between June 2018 and June 2019.
Neymar Contract: In 2017 Neymar signed a five-year $350 million contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The contract pays him $70 million per year. Before he could be signed, Paris had to pay a record $236 million transfer fee to Barcelona.

When your constant purchasing causes your nail polish collection to grow exponentially, the time will inevitably come when you literally run out of space for everything. This is what happened to me! The drawers above used to fit all the nail stuff I owned six months ago, but it got to the point where I just couldn't fit any more in. I'd been wanting to buy an IKEA Helmer for quite some time, and seeing these 40-odd homeless polishes on top of my old drawers (despite getting rid of a LOT of polishes this year) should have given me the push I needed, but I just procrastinate terribly with things like this. Luckily though, I have an exceptionally thoughtful boyfriend who ordered one for me! Thank you Colin ♥
I must admit I had a little internal panic when I took everything out of its flat-pack box and realised that I've never had to build or assemble anything before. Despite that, I managed to do the WHOLE thing, ALL by myself, with NO help from my dad (I think he was quite disappointed that I didn't ask him for help actually, haha), all in about an hour and fifteen minutes. I must say I was rather impressed with myself!
And here's my new baby in pride of place next to my desk. It fits perfectly underneath, I think it was meant to be. I'm completely in love and I want to buy twenty more Helmers and keep my entire life in them! And I've managed to fill three drawers with polish, and I've also devoted the top drawer to things that are normally strewn across my desk making a mess, so it's made me a little more organised. This means I've still got two more drawers to fill up with nail polish – I've kept all my nail art supplies in the old storage drawers which will probably eventually be used for spillover when the Helmer gets full.
The top drawer for stuff that I use on a daily basis. Notepad and pens, everyday makeup, Batiste, cuticle oil, that sort of stuff.
Drawer number two – Base and top coats, Illamasqua, Orly, Nubar, Barry M and all brands of glitters and crackles.
Three – China Glaze, Zoya, two lonely Deborah Lippmann ones, Milani, Pure Ice, Inglot, Hard Candy, Essie, Models Own, Accessorize, Nails Inc, Eyeko, GOSH, and a few more dtugstore ones.
Aaand number four – LA Colors, OPI, Sinful Colors, OCC, Color Club, and loads of other drugstore stuff from all over the world! Haha I actually really like this drawer, there's a lot of stuff I've acquired in swaps in this one. I like looking at them and thinking of the different countries they've come to me from!
So that's my wonderful sexy new Helmer. I really do want a million more! What do you store your nail polish in?

When I was a little kid I wasn't Rob, I was Robbie. It's my little kid name. Everyone in my family still calls me Robbie. When I was in grade school, I didn't think anything of it. Sure it was a little kid name, but I was a little kid, and so it wasn't an obvious problem. Although it was something that I had to be very specific about. Whenever I moved up in school, like when I finished the third grade and went to the fourth, I'd have to make sure to tell my new teacher right away, that I don't like being called Robert, it's Robbie. And they'd be like, "OK Robbie, you got it!"
And then they'd be doing some sort of an icebreaker lesson at the beginning of the year, something where they'd be writing down every student's name on the chalkboard, and maybe one of them would write Robby. And I'd have to raise my hand in the middle of this little game or whatever it was that this teacher was doing to try and make the boring school day go by just a little quicker. And the teacher would usually ignore me. Teachers can't encourage that type of behavior, that raising your hand whenever you feel like it, expecting the teacher to stop midsentence to see whatever it is you'd have to say. So the teacher would wave to me, a wave without looking at me, a wave that said, "Robby! Put your hand down right this second! I'm the teacher and I'm in the middle of talking here!"
And instead of putting my hand down I would reach even higher, like a yoga pose, reaching from my heart, trying as hard as I could to make it even higher than it was before, and I'd wiggle my fingers dramatically, like, teacher, I know I'm not supposed to interrupt here, but this is important, this is my name here, and you've got it all wrong, and maybe all of the other kids, well, they won't be consciously looking at it, but it's going to be there, in their memories somewhere, and the next time they have to write out birthday party invitations or Valentine's Day cards, they're all going to write out Robby instead of Robbie.
But my new teacher would be so pissed. She'd turn dramatically to me with that mean teacher scowl and say, "Robby! Put your hand down, now!" and yeah, I probably should have just put my hand down, but at least I had her attention now, at least we were in a dialogue here, so I'd say, "But …" and she'd say, "But nothing! Is this how you want to start off the school year? Is it Robby?" and I'd fidget a little and put this helpless expression on my face and I'd say, "But Mrs. …" "That's it! One more word out of you and it's straight to the principal's office! Put! Your! Hand! Down! Right! This! Second! Now!"
And I wouldn't have a choice. I'd have to sit there and squirm in my seat, Robby written right in front of me on the board, mocking me, taunting me. And when the teacher said, "Is this how you want to start off the school year," that's not really fair, because she's making it like she's asking me a question, like she's giving me the option to start off the school year in a different way. But all she cared about was doing her little intro lesson and I interrupted her, twice, so regardless of how I acted for the rest of that presentation or whatever, I'm already a little nuisance kid, one of those students who won't sit still, one of those kids who, if he has his hand raised, you better not call on him, because you don't want to encourage his thinking that he can just sit there and raise his hand every time he wants to hijack the class.
But then I got to the eighth grade and I realized all at once that I didn't want to be a little kid anymore. I wanted to be an adult. I didn't want my parents telling me I couldn't buy CDs with the parental advisory sticker on the front. I didn't want anybody telling me when I had to be home for dinner or to go to bed because it was late. I wanted to be a man. And try as I could, I could never find any real life men named Robbie. They just don't exist. My dad's name is Robert also, but he goes by Bob at work. I settled on Rob, that was pretty adultish, definitely to be taken more seriously than Robbie.
Implementing the change was harder than I thought. Sure, I could start writing Rob instead of Robbie on all of my homework assignments, but by this point in school I had already made such a huge deal about being called Robbie to every single teacher that it was a little much to expect them to notice that I'd started writing my name differently on pieces of paper that they probably weren't really grading anyway. And then trying to get my classmates to call me Rob instead of Robbie, that was impossible. The minute you try to do something like that, it's an automatic invitation to have everyone call you Robbie at least twice as much as they did before. Why? I don't know, little kids are all assholes. That's what I would have done if little Johnny one day came to school and told everyone he was Jack from here on out.
But it didn't matter, because the next year I started high school, a clean slate. All I had to do was make sure that I severed all contact with anybody from grade school and it would be a done deal. Goodbye Robbie, hello Rob G.
Every once in a while Robbie resurfaces. Like I said, I'll always be Robbie to my family. I used to try to fight it, but it's a losing battle. It's like I'll never stop calling my little sister Jessie, even though she hates being called Jessie. It's not even a conscious decision. Those types of family dynamics are hard to shape.
But the rest of the world is totally mine to mold. And I have to constantly be on guard. My life will be going great, I'll have a good group of friends, no problems, when out of nowhere someone might drop Robbie in, trying to be overly informal, maybe joking around. But maybe somebody else will hear it and it'll spread. Pretty soon everyone will be calling me Robbie and I'll be feeling like a little kid, and I'll call all of my friends in for a group meeting, and I'll say, "Thanks for coming everyone. The reason I called you all in here is because you've all been calling me Robbie a lot lately. I just want to state, for the record, that my name isn't Robbie, it's Rob, and I would appreciate it a lot if you didn't call me Robbie ever again. Thank you."
Everyone will stare at me and said, "You actually called a meeting over this?" And they'll laugh and think it a little crazy to go through all of this trouble over a nickname. And it'll have the unintended effect of actually strengthening the nickname, because now nobody can stop talking about that stupid group meeting I called, and how I really need to get over myself. And then I'll have to get a whole new group of friends and reinvent myself all over again. It's taxing after a while.
One time I got my sister Emily's boyfriend Pete a job at the restaurant where I worked. He didn't know any better, and because he's dating my sister, he comes in and says that Robbie told him to come in. And everybody at work is like "Robbie?" And it just grew and snowballed, everybody calling me Robbie. So I thought, OK, if I address it, it's just going to get stronger. So I pretended to ignore it this time. Like anytime somebody called me "Robbie!" I would have absolutely no reaction. But people must have caught on to this also, because they'd be like, "Hey Robbie, how come you get so quiet and red faced every time somebody calls you Robbie?"
And so I had to quit that job also. And now I'm at another job. I guess it could be worse. Robbie's a lot better than Bobby. I don't think I've every met anybody in real life who goes by Bobby. It's like a cartoon character's name. And I'm not a cartoon character. I'm a real life person. An adult. I'm real life adult man. And my name is Rob, not Robbie, definitely not Robby. Got it? Cool?

The second round of the Pirelli National Superstock 600 Championship at Brands Hatch Indy circuit yielded a fifth place finish for Tom Oliver and his SGR Racing Yamaha team.
Oliver had great pace all weekend and secured pole position with a near perfect lap round the challenging 1.2-mile Kent circuit. When the lights went out Oliver jumped straight into the lead, which he maintained for three laps before the hard charging Dan Stamper made his move to take first position.
Running a touch wide at Druids hairpin on lap five allowed the chasing pack to get closer. As the arduous race progressed Oliver found himself dropping back as the pace picked up, settling for a point scoring finish in fifth place. The top five were in a class of their own a full six seconds ahead of the remaining field.
Tom Oliver said: "It was a tough race as I expected, I had the speed but not the strength to challenge. I want to be consistent and keep bringing in the points and that is what I did. I couldn't believe the lap time I put in to grab pole position every sector was spot on! The next round is at Oulton Park which is one of my favourite circuits so I'll be giving it my all to challenge for the win."
Stephen Kinghorn, Team Owner said: "I'm really pleased with our result and Tom rode well. He has been on form all weekend and I know he will keep pushing each time he is on track. We've had a lot of support this weekend, which means a lot to us. Thanks to TK Cope for coming along and cheering Tom on, it's always good to have your boss back you up! We are now looking to Oulton Park to see what we can achieve there. Tom always goes well there so hopefully we will see another podium finish.
The third round of the Pirelli National Superstock 600 Championship will take place at Oulton Park in Cheshire on 29th April – 1st May.

Combine that information with the Harvard Business School survey that concluded a one-star drop in your reviews equates to a 10% revenue reduction.
Review sites such as Vitals.com and Healthgrades.com give patients a strength and platform to imact a medical practice more than ever before. About one-third of those surveyed said that they have choosen or rejected a doctor on the basis of online reviews.
Unlike times past, doctors today are going to have to address the transparancy brought about by the internet. Ignoring online reviews is not a winning strategy. Here are a few tips you can employ to help make a positive impact.
- Request Reviews - If you want someone to do something, you have to ask. Especially in light of HIPAA regulations, having the patient initiate the process is critical. More than just doctor interaction impacts reviews. Issues of timeliness, staff experience, physician interaction, etc. all impact the review. The doctor's "grade" is based on averages so getting more positive reviews can offset a single upset patient review.
- Respond to EVERY Review - That may seem like overkill, but to the degree it's possible you should respond to each review whether positive or negative. You don't have to disclose anything in your response that would violate HIPAA to be effective, but you need to learn how best to respond. You needn't be argumentative if you receive a negative review. Your level headed response that sticks to the facts will far outshine the rant of a disgruntled patient. Just like in person interaction, when someone pays a compliment, you say thank you; so you should online as well. Something as simple as, "Thanks for the kind words, it means the world!" can make a big impression.
- Reputation Management - Tools such as our own Chatterbox Reviews can make the entire process of seeking and syndicating reviews much more simple. Our automated system allows you to collect and promote your patient's reviews to the search engines, social media spaces, and to the review sites of your choice. Comprehensive systems will flag poor reviews and have them routed immediately so the issues can be addressed.
- Learn then move on - Negative reviews are more difficult on some personalities than others, but you should do your best to learn from the reviews you read. That is not to say that you should pour over them for weeks or even days. Take the feedback and make adjustments where you can THEN MOVE ON!
