Remarks by H. E. José Ramos-Horta
President of Timor-Leste
And Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Human Impact of Climate Change,
Global Humanitarian Forum 2009
Geneva, 23-24th June 2009
Mr. and Mrs. Annan, Presidents, Your Highness, Ministers, Eminent
scientists, Ladies and gentlemen,
It is a privilege to be here in the midst of some of the best minds of
the world to listen to you all on the Human Impact of Climate Change. I
thank H. E. Kofi Annan for being so kind in inviting me to participate
in this forum. I don't know whether I can add much to the volumes of
credible, scientific and verifiable data on the ground about this
growing human calamity. But here I am in response to H. E. Kofi Annans
kind invitation.
My country, Timor-Leste, attained full sovereignty only seven years ago
and it was Kofi Annan who presided over the nation-building of
Timor-Leste, with vision and compassion, from 1999 to 2002. To him and
the late Sergio Vieira De Mello, his Special Representative for
Timor-Leste from 1999 to 2002, goes our eternal gratitude.
Timor-Leste fits in the category of Least Developed Countries (LDC),
post-conflict, vulnerable, fragile States. This says all. The challenges
we face since 2002 are no different from those faced by many others who
have been on the world stage far longer weak state institutions with
very limited delivery capacity, an inexperienced Public Administration,
lack of modern infrastructures like first class roads, bridges, reliable
power supply, efficient and affordable telecommunications, hospitals,
schools, doctors and teachers. Literacy is still very low particularly
among women and girls.
However, we have also made significant progress. We have come a long way
in reconciling among ourselves, healing the wounds of the past, and
reconciling with those who were at another trench. Our relations with
Indonesia are exemplary and I would say no two countries locked in a
long bitter conflict have reconciled so fast and so thoroughly as
Timor-Leste and Indonesia. But we have also reconciled with the powers
that be that contributed directly to our suffering with the provision of
weapons to the much detested regime.
Our economy grew 12.5% in 2008 and 8% the previous year. We expect a
continuing strong growth this year.
We are a modest oil and gas producing country with revenues totaling no
more than US$100 million/monthly. More fields are being found that will
double our countrys petroleum revenues in the next few years.
In 2005 we established a Petroleum Fund, governed by the strictest rules
of good management and oversight.
And we must be the only country in the world that did not suffer any
loss as all our petroleum revenues were invested in the relatively safe
US Treasury Bonds. We also do not have a single cent owing to anyone.
We are fully self-funded in terms of our National Budget which in 2009
is close to US$700 million. You should know that in 2002 when we
attained full independence our State Budget was a mere US$68 million and
some 40% were financed by donors.
We cannot complain of lack of financial resources and generous
international donor assistance even if often the so-called aid is not
entirely targeted on job creation, poverty alleviation, food security,
rural development.
Much of the aid money is spent on consultants, study missions, reports
and recommendations. Some 3,000 studies and reports have been done on
us. We have been psycho-analysed from every possible angle.
However, the reality is that poverty is still widespread; unemployment
is high worsened by a very high birth rate and a young population.
Now let me turn on to the topic of this conference. I begin by saying
that while I was impressed by the quality of the information available
from the Global Humanitarian Forum and the eloquence of the speakers we
heard yesterday and today, I am not at all convinced that leaders of the
powers that be are going to take imaginative and courageous steps in
saving our planet. Let me repeat: I do not believe.
Let me explain the reasons for my lack of hope and faith.
I ask, how many industrial countries have responded to the UN appeal
first made some 20 years ago to allocate 0,7% of their national income
for development assistance to poor countries? Only four small Nordic
countries have done so.
There is never money to assist the poor but there is always money to
wage wars and to rescue banks and insurance companies bankrupted by
corrupt, and incompetent and highly paid CEOs.
How many countries have agreed to open up their markets, tariff free,
for goods from developing countries? The rich advocate an almost
borderless world for trade but they heavily subsidized their farmers and
industries and imposed restrictive rules on agriculture imports from
Africa, Asia and Latin America.
How many weapons producing countries have acknowledged the immorality
and danger of conventional weapons sales to developing countries, in
particular, to regions in conflict and have reduced such exports?
How many armed nuclear countries have begun to destroy their nuclear
All of the above affect them, affect us. Weapons sold to one side of a
conflict will always end in the wrong side, sooner or later. We are all
worried about nuclear devices, biological and chemical weapons, ending
up in the hands of non-state actors. But there is no sign of anyone
trying to simply eliminate this possibility by clearing the world from
such weapons.
In view of the above, I have no illusions that in Copenhagen we are
going to see imaginative and swift action to commit all to save our
planet. There might be a consensus document, there might be even a solid
one that everyone will applaud and walk away declaring victory. But will
there be commitment in action to implement the pledges and binding norms
and targets? Will there be enough funding for developing countries to
deal with current impact of climate change?
Will there be enough money, no restrictions attached, and no
bureaucratic delays, for poor developing countries to assist them in
dealing with the consequences of decades of irresponsible greed of few?
We are all too familiar with the infamous pledges made by the rich in
pledging conferences but do not deliver on their commitments.
We in the developing world are responsible for less than 1% of global
emissions of green gases. But we are the ones who are paying a high
price for the greed and irresponsibility of the rich few and we will pay
even more.
Ladies and gentlemen,
In view of the above, as I see waters rising, floods surging, lands
sliding, rain patterns changing, followed by prolonged droughts, I will
say, I cannot just hope for others to do something about it.
We can continue to denounce the rich for their greed and
irresponsibility, but we must try to do small things, actually big
things, with our own resources and hands, to save our own countries, our
rivers and lakes, our seas and corals.
We must stop logging and destroying our forests, we must plant millions
of trees, preserve rain water and rivers; we must stop dumping plastics
and other non-degradable and toxic materials into our rivers and seas;
we must prevent over fishing and the depletion of our fish stock.
If we do this in every country, every island, and in every tropical
region from the Amazon basin to the Coral Triangle, we will mitigate the
impact of climate change; we might not have to witness the disappearance
of some islands, peoples and cultures in the next decades.
We heard yesterday the moving speech by the President of Kiribati. I was
almost in tears when he told us how his people might have to resettle
elsewhere as their islands disappear in the next decades, in our life
Islanders and indigenous peoples are deeply attached to the land more
than any other community. Let us pause and imagine the profound sadness,
trauma, emotional distress of those who are forced to live their
ancestral islands because they are sinking, disappearing under the
rising sea.
They will not be the only climate change refugees. In the next 30 to 50
years they will be joined by tens of millions from Asia to Africa. And
as they move to safer and higher grounds there will be conflicts with
others already there, all fighting for scarce land and water.
I do not assign all blame to the rich and the powerful. Maybe what we
are experiencing today is an inevitable consequence of the development
of human mind, of science, technology and industrialization. We could
not have told the people in the XVIII Century that they should not build
factories and power them with coal and fossil fuel; we could not tell
them not to manufacture the locomotive, ships, cars, tractors, and later
Life was simpler, there were fewer people some millions of years or just
even 500 years ago. Now we are six billion people sharing a shrinking
planet with shrinking resources.
So let us cherish the resources we have in each country, each island,
each village, and we might still have enough for all. We might still
save our planet. We might.
In my own country we have launched programs to reduce poverty, create
jobs and preserve the environment and consolidate peace.
With the government we have launched a clean city campaign where
everyday Friday morning thousands of civil servants are mobilized to
clean the city and neighborhoods, clear the clogged canals, rivers and
We have launched the Dili City of Peace campaign to turn our city
and the whole country into an Island of Peace. My concept of peace is
that peace must start at home, within the family, in the schools, in the
Peace must mean end of domestic violence against women and children.
Peace must mean that we care about our elderly, the handicapped, HIV
victims, the poorest of the poor.
Peace means that we must be a model of solidarity and share our
resources with other peoples in need.
Even though we are a very new country with limited resources we made
contributions to peoples in China, Cuba, Burma and Indonesia affected by
natural disasters with a total grant close to US$2 million so far.
So I repeat lets start in our own homes to try to save our common
May God the Almighty and the Merciful Bless Us All.

Yesterday, The Outline published an article titled The Skincare Con. The author, Krithika Varagur, argues that what she has coined "new skincare" is characterized by "buying things, and displaying them for others to see – to prove that you worked hard for what you have, even if you're, say, a model whose profession self-selects for superior genetics." Our skin, Krithika argues, would do just fine without the products that Americans spend roughly $24 billion dollars on annually. In this age of masks, sheet masks, rubber masks, serums, moisturizers and the other myriad products you can fit into a 10-step Korean beauty ("K-beauty") skincare routine, it is not hard to imagine that there was a widespread, strong reaction to The Outline's article. While I largely agree with Krithika that skincare has gotten out of hand, I don't fully share in the negative sentiment because there are pros of the skincare con.
Perfect skin is as elusive as it is indeed "the thinking woman's quest." It is not the thinking woman's nature to believe that she needs a product. Nor is it her nature to believe that she can achieve the skin of an underaged model who has been blessed by Photoshop. So entire industries have emerged to convince her otherwise. The New York Times warns that K-beauty as we know it might be little more than a brilliant marketing scheme. Perhaps that is why in 2016 women were told to strive for dewey, pore-free skin. In 2017, the goal was to be flawless and have glass skin. In 2018 the goal post has moved yet again, this time calling for women to achieve cloudless skin. The pressure to look perfect, however that is defined, is real. And these perfect skin ideals are far from new. Yet somewhere along the way skincare surpassed its intended purpose. As observed by The New Yorker, skincare has now become a paradoxical coping mechanism; a form of protest, self-help and self-love driven by denial, profit and self-loathing. Skincare is about more than caring for our skin.
Before women #wokeuplikethis and were #flawless, women sought to beautify and improve their appearance. Cleopatra sat in a bath of lactic acid to perfect her beauty. Generations of Hindus have covered themselves in turmeric, rose water and sandalwood at haldi ceremonies, in part, to look their best on their wedding day. Likewise, generations of Ethiopian and Somali women have used qasil in their pursuit of clear, wrinkle-free skin. It seems that a history of women is a history of the pursuit of beauty. Why would modern skincare be any different? The only real difference in the "new skincare" is that (1) the marketing is better, (2) the chemicals are stronger, and (3) the expectations are less realistic. There is no need to pretend that consumers must approach skincare from a primarily scientific or practical standpoint.
Indulgence is often an equally motivating factor in skincare. Conspicuous, inconspicuous consumption has become a hallmark of the aspirational class, and skincare is no exception. Now more than ever skincare is aspirational. It is about looking like we belong to a certain segment of society. For example, over the past decade increasingly potent skincare has made it possible to get that microdermabrasion glow without ever setting foot in a dermatologist's office. Expensive skincare that others might not see absent Instagram is as much a status symbol as is affordable skincare sold by trendy and aesthetically pleasing brands like The Ordinary. But that does not make modern skincare dishonest. That does not make skincare a scam.
Beautification, oversupply or misuse do not transform skincare into a con either. There may not be a need for some skincare products. And aggressive, multi-product routines can cause more harm than good. But those ills are evidence of an education problem. Consumers need to adequately inform themselves. Consumers cannot continue to use effective skincare products without knowing what they are doing to their skin. That is why, from time to time, the overzealous or undercautious may use risky products or burn a hole in their face with an ordinarily safe product. This seems like a good place for the Food and Drug Administration to step in and tighten the reins (or not, if you believe people should be free to fry their faces as they please). But for those who care to follow tradition, or read labels, do a little research and consult a dermatologist from time to time, skincare will continue to be a results-driven, pleasurable indulgence and there is nothing wrong with that.
Skincare has the power to make people look and feel good, if not beautiful. If women achieve that by purchasing beautifully packaged products that deliver results, what is the con? One important takeaway from The Skincare Con is the fact that actives are prevalent in modern skincare products. Another important takeaway is that actives deliver results. This is true both of traditional skincare and clean, or green beauty, skincare products. After all, aren't products that don't deliver results the ones that get abandoned?
Is it possible to achieve great looking skin by doing nothing to your face? My unscientific opinion is that for some people, yes it is. I personally know a male and a female who have great skin and do nothing more than cleanse their faces with soap. No, they are not related so it is not due to genetics. It is not for nothing that variations of the caveman beauty regimen, which calls for doing absolutely nothing your skin, persist today. But what works for one person may not work for another. Some people may need sunscreen. Others, a good facial cleanser. But for most people a minimalist skincare routine will suffice.
No matter what is done externally, as much as good skin can be due to genetics, so called "bad skin" can be a reflection of other health problems. Doing the least to your skin may not protect against acne or other skin conditions any more than doing the most. As long as acne emerges during our youth and opinions are held more tightly than facts, acne and other skin conditions will continue to be stigmatized. Whatever the cause, skin conditions can usually benefit from proper diagnosis and treatment. Assuming that the choice of treating or not treating a skin condition is harmless, why should one option be valued over the other? Knowing that people are going to cleanse and otherwise care for their skin, why not use esthetically pleasing products?
What society considers to be good skin has been known to be more attainable by following a simple skincare regimen based on understanding the products used, how and when to use them and in what combination. Sometimes less is more, but zero can feel extreme. Besides, if women abandoned their entire skincare regimen en mass what would become of all those sweet-smelling serums housed in pretty miron glass bottles? Surely products that look, feel and oftentimes smell appealing should be put to good use.
No, skincare in general is not a con. Many skincare products are not be a necessity, but they can be beneficial to many. The utility of skincare does not start and end with whether it is necessary. That is part of it, but definitely not the whole picture. The utility of skincare is also that the packaging looks lovely in your bedroom or bathroom. The utility of skincare is also that it smells enticing when you open the jar. The utility of skincare is also that it feels smooth and luxurious on your skin. The utility of skincare is also that you may slow down and even relax a little while applying it. The utility of skincare is that it also allows you to feel good, and maybe even beautiful, if only for a moment before the realities of life re-emerge. That, dear readers, is no con.

" The Conture helps the creams absorb, you can feel the bounciness, the springiness coming back in to your skin. You can see the color coming back in to your skin. The jowels start to disappear. Everything is kind of lifting. It's the most amazing machine I've ever come across. I've never seen or tried anything like Conture. It's easy to use, like 5 minutes a day. In the morning I clean my teeth then I use the Conture."
"I really like the feel of the device when I'm using it. I like the way my skin feels tighter and more awake afterwards. I feel like Conture gives me a mini face lift twice a day. I feel like it tightens, it rejuvenates, it plumps and it returns to my skin the feeling that I used to have, but I didn't think about until I lost it a couple of decades ago."
" With Conture, the first thing I started to see was actually the elasticity aspect of the my skin starting to firm. I really did see the firmness, especially on the side of my face and near the jaw line. Conture rejuvenated my skin and put a nice dewy effect on my complexion. Conture eliminated the dryness I always suffered from without giving a greasy texture or look. Conture will help you look more youthful and you'll feel, look, and enjoy your life better."

The American government, through various state agencies and private corporations, have been getting increasingly aware of the possible repercussions that the 2017 War of nerves might have on the global economy. Informed of the possible trade wars that seem to have already commenced in various parts of the world like the Gulf and Europe, the U.S. Money Reserve, America's Gold Authority has already started preparing Americans for stability in such a tough global economic crisis.
According to the authority, gold has since the first use of currency instead of barter trade been the safest asset to possess. The value of gold, as a matter of fact, has always had its value appreciate to the highest point possible in the event of global recessions or economic wars.
At the impending times of uncertainty, the authority would only deem it fit that Americans back up themselves with gold assets to retain their financial stability.
According to the president of the U.S. Money Reserve, Philip N. Diehl, gold is tangible and less vulnerable to the tumulus volatility that common sovereign currencies face.
Therefore, gold is a powerful tool to protect one's savings from potential loss in value in the case the War of nerves intensifies. Furthermore, gold is government approved.
One of the bold and sensible moves the U.S. Money Reserve has made to counter such looming catastrophe is the opening of the sale of the 1/10 oz. Gold American Eagle Coins. The sale is time-limited, and purchasers have to part with a time-regulated cost.
The U.S. Money Reserve
The U.S. Money Reserve was founded back in 2001 and is one of the United States' largest private distributors of gold, silver and platinum products as well as other precious metals that are approved by the federal government. In fact, it is a global giant in the supply and distribution of gold, silver and platinum products, having earned numerous tenders from foreign governments as well.
To legitimize the trade of precious metals is difficult because counterfeits, imitations and diluted versions exist to rip buyers off. However, the U.S. Money Reserve has never been doubted to sell non-legitimate and counterfeits, neither has it been ripped off. It employs uniquely qualified experts to authenticate the chemical qualities of the rare and precious metals.
The experts are always supported by the most attentive and skilled artisans who fabricate the metals to precise calibration, customizing them to meet all of their clients' specifications overly.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Freshman Midge Purce posted her first multi-goal game as Harvard women's soccer defeated Rhode Island, 2-0, Friday night at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium. The Crimson (2-3-1) posted its second-straight win, while Rhode Island drops to 4-5 overall.
Junior goalie Bethany Kanten (1-2) earned her first win of the season, getting the start and playing the first 45 minutes. Freshman netminder Lizzie Durack supplied 45 minutes of shutout soccer in the second half. The Harvard defense allowed just five shots in the match.
Purce scored in the eighth minute, shaking a defender in the box and blasting a shot past URI keeper Chelsea Broghamer to her left. The freshman gave the Crimson to an early 1-0 advantage with her third score of the season.
Harvard pushed its lead to 2-0 in the 52nd minute, as senior captain Elizabeth Weisman crossed a pass into the box from the left side. Purce was there after a failed attempt at a clear to bury the shot.
Freshman Karly Zlatic nearly added a third score for the Crimson with 16 minutes left. Breaking away from the pack, Zlatic blasted a shot towards the net that was blocked by a URI defender. Classmate Joan Fleischman was there for the rebound, flicking a shot that was saved.
Harvard hits the road for a Sunday tilt at UMass Lowell. Game time is set for 3 p.m. at Cushing Field Complex.

Ok they look a little scary and a little too much like our own but, once you have cut out the tubing you are left with a perfect pouch for stuffing.
I like to make up a batch of sage and onion PAXO stuffing (if you wish, make your own with whatever grabs your fancy, but I am a girl all who like the easy way of life so good old PAXO for me) I add in to the mix a lightly fried chopped onion, just because I can and lots of pepper. Leave the stuffing to cool and then stuff it inside the hearts.
There will be leftover stuffing so either make up balls to add to the dish or to baked them separately.
Take an OXO beef stock cube and make up some stock, arrange the hearts in a tight fitting oven proof dish, pour the stock over, till it covers the hearts about halfway up. Season a little more and then cover with foil or a lid. Pop into the oven at 160oc and cook for approx 2 hours, occasionally turning the hearts so the don't burn and all parts get a chance to bathe in the gravy.
The sauce will reduce and thicken with the stuffing that falls out, but that just makes it super unctious.
The hearts will be tender, but still firm, like liver. Utterly scrummy and packed full of flavour and certainly a hearty winter dish (excuse the pun). So get your heads around offal and give it a try.

The Tab is an expensive device any way you look at it. But we are talking about the initial investment of buying the hardware here. What we didn't expect was the ongoing and hidden costs of actually getting the Tab connected and using it on Verizon Wireless' network.
Joel's experience is probably going to mirror a lot of consumers investing in a Tab in the U.S. The initial cost of buying the hardware works out to $684.78 including a case and tax ($599.99 for the tablet). But then there's some hidden costs everyone forgot to mention. For example, activating the device on the Verizon network costs $35. If you don't like the Tab and take it back there's a $70 restocking fee.
So lets assume you like it and accept the $35 activation, you're up to $719.78. Now you've only got the monthly fee for a data plan to worry about. But then Verizon hit you for more money again as you pay a month in advance. So that first month's bill will include next month's $20 fee (for 1GB) plus whatever is left of this month plus taxes.
Depending on where we are in a month when you buy the Tab, you're looking at an initial investment of at least $739.78 (assuming you get your data plan on the 1st of the month). Not cheap, right?
Although Verizon Wireless advertise the Galaxy Tab as not being on contract, that doesn't mean you can stop your data plan without consequence. Deciding to cancel for a month or two will mean a further $35 activation fee when you want to reconnect again. You can suspend your account instead, but there's still a $15 charge attached.
Consider yourself warned. The Galaxy Tab can costs a lot more than you initially thought. But then again, owning a cellphone always end up costing more than you expected even if the handset was free. At least with a hack your Tab can replace the need for a smartphone.

This photo shows the backs of the green and yellow Meeples–slightly matte, and the front of the blue, and view from the sides–fully glossy!
I was thinking to début them at Essen Spiel next month, but could put them on my Etsy shop if anyone wants them sooner =)

Companies don't lobby for a carbon tax out of the goodness of their corporate hearts — so why do they do it?
When the Alberta government rolled out a carbon tax plan in 2015, the province witnessed a strange sight: Oil company executives flanking premier Rachel Notley as she announced a policy that would cost their companies a ton of money.
So, why did they do it?
A new paper from New York University economist Amanda Kennard shows that these firms aren't just lobbying for environmental regulations out of the goodness of their corporate hearts: it's a calculated bet that their competitors will be worse off, allowing them to gain an advantage. For example, if a company's competitors are heavily reliant on coal, it will be far more likely to lobby for environmental regulations.
The paper also takes aim at the most common explanation for this kind of corporate behaviour: that companies encourage federal lawmakers to harmonize environmental policy across the country to give them certainty and predictability when it comes to costs. Kennard argues that this just isn't borne out by the data. In fact, differences across various provinces and states could actually benefit certain companies, relative to their competition.
In the paper, Kennard examines the 2009 cap-and-trade legislation passed in the United States House of Representatives and finds some unlikely supporters of the bill. The aluminum company Alcoa Corporation was a vocal booster of the proposed rules, despite the fact that aluminum smelting is one of the most energy-intensive activities in the world. With about 20 per cent of the company's costs going towards energy, any emissions legislation would be hugely expensive.
"Alcoa's support for cap and trade was more than a simple public relation campaign," writes Kennard. The company was involved in several other environmental initiatives and engaged in a full-throated lobbying effort to get the bill passed. Why did it do it? One clue came when Alcoa's direct competition lobbied hard against the bill and publicly threatened to move to Mexico if it passed.
"While climate change policy increases costs across the board, it also leads to shifts in market share, which benefit those firms with relatively low adjustment costs," writes Kennard. "If these shifts in market share are large, they may compensate for the policy's direct costs."
In other words, companies will be happy to pay extra costs provided their competition is hit harder.
Alcoa had a big advantage because it had signed long-term contracts for hydro-electric power for its operations, while the competition was using coal-fired power plants. Although the legislation would still be a cost burden on Alcoa, the cost of adjusting to the new regime was much higher for its domestic competitors.
Kennard's paper also argues that a company's international competitors — which may be able to avoid burdensome environmental regulations — may not be as big a factor as previously believed. Economists and corporate executives have expressed concerns about this global "carbon leakage," when onerous environmental rules are imposed. Although most large firms are facing global competitors in a world increasingly free of trade barriers, most of the lobbying decisions on environmental regulations are driven by domestic market share. Those domestic benefits seem to outweigh the global competition.
Kennard outlines three different ways that domestic competitors could see massively different costs from the same legislation. Cost advantages could come from a company that has invested a lot of money in new equipment that would be more efficient than older machinery. Some firms will have access to clean energy and energy-efficient technology. The third factor comes from regional differences in electricity generation. If an area happens to be coal-intensive, it will end up being more expensive than other regions that rely on cleaner fuel sources.
In a competitive environment, most of these conditions naturally arise.
"Competition between domestic firms is a sufficient condition for supportive lobbying in nearly any regulatory context," Kennard writes.

I worried -- why leave North America at the height of late summer, with the veggies overflowing in the garden, the leaves turning...the answer is Africa in springtime. What a glorious time to be here and get a second spring in the same year. Temperatures in Johannesburg and Pretoria were perfect, the days sunny, and flowers overflowing.
In the first picture, Pam Rathke, tour leader extraordinaire, is standing in the midst of a famous grouping of giant statues at the Brenthurst estate, owned by the Oppenheimer family, of DeBeer and Anglo-American corporation fame. Their expansive garden is meticulously maintained by dozens of gardeners, featuring more and more indigenous African plants and eco-friendly practices. The second picture shows the whole tour group of 13 people around the statue of Nelson Mandela at the spectacular Mandela Square in upscale Sandton (400 fabulous shops) so not all our time is spent in gardens. Finally, glimpse the mysterious and gorgeous table mountain view from my guest room at this historic Vineyard Hotel in Newlands, suburb of Cape Town. Tomorrow...Kirstenbosch! We've been here only four days and it feels like a months worth of activities and impressions...ah Africa! Cradle of mankind and garden of Eden....
Panayoti Kelaidis, a specialist in South African flora, is hosting a South Africa Horticultural tour from September 22-October 8. Visit this blog often to hear about his adventures touring public and private gardens in Johannesburg, Cape Town and the Western Cape, and exploring the Great Karoo Nature Reserve for wildflowers.

I've been writing on and off for decades with little luck in publishing. Evidently, there was too much off and not enough on. Internet workshops like sff.onlinewritingworkshop.com/ and www.critters.org improved my work enough to sell a few short stories, but what I really wanted was to publish a book.
An unrelenting series of rejections almost had me ready to give up. Then Lilly Press accepted my novel IMPLAC, an evil robot story. I was ecstatic, but Lilly went bankrupt and it was back to the slush pile for me. At least now I knew that some professionals valued my work. "Query Tracker" - http://querytracker.net/forum/ - taught me how to write a decent query, I sent out a batch of letters, and in 2010 Eternal Press accepted A VIRTUAL AFFAIR. At age 68 I would finally have a book for sale. Since then, I've had two more novels published, and am looking for an agent for my fourth.
It's never too late to pursue your dream.

Hokkaido Curry Udon Kame is perfect for after drink in Susukino, Sapporo!
Curry udon not for lunch but for a night, after a couple of drinks. Udon which does not make curry thin by tsuyu, but made with soup curry. Noodle made from flours produced in Hokkaido. The key to the soup is onion "Sapporoki". This udon is particular about Hokkaido!
Curry udon that started with "frontier spirit"The standard food which is eaten in Susukino for after drink is Sapporo ramen. Recently, there are people who have soup curry but Hokkaido Curry Udon "Kame" was born from the idea; "ramen or curry is too heavy, but people want to eat something like a soup after drink… then curry udon!".
▲Hokkaido Curry Udon "Kame"
▲There are 10 bar seats
"There is no curry udon specialized restaurant in Susukino, so it's not exactly a frontier spirit but I wanted to develop something new here" Hiroji Kameda, the manager of the restaurant said. The name "Kame" was taken from his name Kameda.
▲Hiroji Kameda, the manager of Hokkaido Curry Udon "Kame"
In fact, this restaurant is a partner restaurant of Spanish restaurant "spoon" where you can drink THE PERFECT SAPPORO CLASSIC Beer. The soup of curry udon was developed by the manager of spoon Kazuma Aikawa and udon noodle was developed by the manager of Kame, Kameda. These two people collaborated to make the perfect curry udon together.
Bouillon mixed chicken bones and legs plus rare onion "Sapporoki""Kame" opened on 27th April 2016. They started experiments to make Hokkaido like curry udon about six months before the opening. They went to not only Sapporo and within Hokkaido but also to Tokyo to find out what they should make. They ate too much that at some point they lost objectives why they were doing this.
The standard soup made after going through this is made with bouillon mixed chicken bones and legs plus vegetables. Udon is usually eaten with Japanese dashi. However, they use a little bit of shirodashi and shirosyoyu in "Kame", but most of the soup is constructed by soup curry.
Also, the ingredient that made the taste of "Kame"'s soup crucially was the onion "Sapporoki".
▲Very rare kind of onion Sapporoki
"Sapporoki" is the onion first made to eat in Higashi-ku Sapporo. Because of its small size and characteristic that are easy to be rotten, the amount produced is very limited and they do not usually be in the market. The sweetness and thickness of Sapporoki affect the soup very much. Sapporoki is also used as a topping.
▲Dried Sapporoki used as one of the toppings of curry udon
The original noodle is made with Kitahonami and Nagoriyuki, both are produced in HokkaidoAfter all the experiments, wide thin noodle (Kishimen) was selected as the noodle. The noodle of "Kame" is made with "Kitahonami" and "Nagoriyuki" both are flours produced in Hokkaido.
▲The noodle of Hokkaido Curry Udon "Kame" is original and use Hokkaido flours.
Fluffy white whip cream like snow as a toppingThe soup and noodles with lots of work. I need to try! So I asked him to make Hokkaido Curry Udon for us.
▲The wide thin noodle need little time to be boiled so we won't have to wait for a long time
▲You can choose the spiciness from mild, normal, spicy, and very spicy. Spicy is about "No.3" in usual soup curry restaurants. Dos people start to feel spicy from the level "spicy".
At the end… what is it? Something like whip cream is put on udon!
This whip cream looking white thing is vichyssoise, which is a potage made with potatoes. With this equipment Espuma to make a liquid to foam, vichyssoise is put as the topping. The ingredient of vichyssoise is of cause from Hokkaido, Kita Akari, May Queen, and fresh cream.
▲This is "Hokkaido Curry Udon" by Hokkaido Curry Udon "Kame". The amount of topping is so much that I can't see udon nor soup!
The basic menu is one kind, add toppings you like"Kame" has only "Hokkaido Curry Udon" on their menu. Customers can add extra toppings as they like and customize the udon.
▲For example steamed Doro-Pork from Tokachi
▲Or seasonal fried vegetables. In this time of the year, asparagus is the best
By the way, when we eat this curry udon with white fluffy vichyssoise, are we supposed to mix it all before we eat? By the manager Kameda, first, dig the udon noodles and enjoy udon and soup curry, then mix everything and enjoy the different taste. "However, most customers mix everything at first" (The manager Kameda said)
▲At first, dig the noodles and enjoy the taste of udon and soup curry
Hokkaido Likers staff had "normal". The spiciness from spices and aroma is stronger than I imagined. It is a bit spicy… However, as I think about this dish to have after drink, the wide thin noodle is very easy to eat and this spiciness surely will addict me.
When I mixed everything, vichyssoise made the spiciness very mild and the soup got thicker. The thick curry broth sticks with wide thin noodles and I also could enjoy chewy texture of topping vegetables and dried Sapporoki.
The thick soup will be left after you finish the noodles but adding "Okkake-meshi" (extra rice) makes the dish like a soup curry risotto.
Of course for people living in Sapporo, but also if you are coming to Sapporo as a tourist, why don't you visit Kame to enjoy Hokkaido's curry udon?

The key to a successful visit with your primary care physician begins with the nursing staff you meet before your appointment.
It's common for people to arrive at their appointment with a list of health-related questions and concerns. But some patients wait until the doctor is in the room to share those questions and concerns. Telling a nursing staff member prior to the physician's arrival can help you make the most of your appointment.
The nursing staff who take your blood pressure, temperature and pulse are an important resource, and they are best-equipped to do their job when they're well-informed about your health. When necessary, they can also relay that information to your physician.
So which details are important to share?
We asked Linda Wick, the executive director of nursing for University of Minnesota Physicians, and Deb Cathcart, the University of Minnesota Health chief nurse executive, to share five important pointers with us. Scroll down to read more.
If you are experiencing side effects or have concerns about your current medication, let the nursing staff know immediately so the problems can be documented. This way your physician will have this information already when they come to see you. Also, if you need any medications refilled, please inform your nursing staff.
If you are taking vitamins, weight loss supplements or probiotics, please provide this information to the nursing staff at your visit. It is important to include these items in your chart so that nursing staff and your doctor have an accurate overview of everything you are taking. Vitamin, supplement or probiotic use may also cause health effects—which can then be easily identified and addressed by the doctor.

Milk Soap Benefits
You may think skin care starts after you bathe, but if you choose milk soap you can care for your skin while you bathe. There's a long history of using milk-based soaps for skin care 12. In fact, TLC Farms notes that milk products have been used cosmetically since ancient times. Milk soaps, especially artisanal brands, are very kind to your skin.
The pH of milk soaps is very close to the natural pH of human skin, resulting in a naturally gentle product that cleans without the addition of harsh chemical additives. Milk soaps, especially those with goat milk, are made with a gentle balance of ingredients that clean without being harsh or irritating to the skin. According to New England Grown, a maker of goat milk products, even people with sensitive skin and eczema find milk soap is far less harsh and drying than most ordinary soap products.
All milk contains lactic acid. In high concentrations, lactic acid is used in chemical peels. In lower concentrations, such as those found in milk soap, lactic acid is a natural exfoliating agent, helping the skin shed dry skin cells. Gentle exfoliation results in healthier looking skin.
Milk soap naturally contains milk fats, triglycerides and vitamins and minerals which help moisturize the skin. Goat milk soap also contains capric-capryllic triglyceride, a known moisturizer. Milk soap also contains natural glycerin, an effective moisturizer, which is usually removed by most commercial soap manufacturers and sold as a separate product.

Having a deck built is like adding a room to your house. A deck provides a beautiful, and useful, addition to your home and a place for family and friends to gather and enjoy the great outdoors.
A deck is a popular home improvement that not only adds to the value of your home, but provides a focal point for enjoying the outdoors. You'll want to carefully consider the design elements that go into your deck. Your deck should include the features that match your lifestyle and complement the design of your house. A deck enhances the beauty and the function of your landscaping and transitions the indoor and outdoor living spaces
Decks come in many sizes and shapes. They can be used to access the first level of your home or the second story level. Many decks are built with multiple levels and some are used to incorporate a hot tub or other structure like a pergola.
If you are thinking about adding or replacing a deck? There are plenty of options to choose from. The majority of decks are built with pressure treated wood. However there are many other materials to chose from, including other types of Wood, Composite and Vinyl decking components.
Picture Framed
Alternate Parallel
Diagnol V-Shaped
Raymer & Son Exteriors has been building Quality Wood, Vinyl and Composite decks in many different shapes and sizes since 1998.

6:30–9 p.m.
Cost: Free
According to Fred Krup in his new book Earth: The Sequel, in addition to the superior efficiency of solar plants compared to wind and biofuels, "The economic benefits of Solar farming is impressive. A 2006 study…found that solar thermal plants create twice as many jobs as coal and gas plants and produce eight times the retained revenues in the states in which they are located. Each gigawatt of solar thermal-generated electricity, according to the Natural Renewable Energy Lab, will create 3,400 construction jobs, 250 permanent jobs, and $500 million in tax revenues."
Abengoa Solar is building the largest concentrated solar electric energy plant in the world and will participate with the greater Hawaii/Maui community, Legislators, and candidates October 28th at 6:30 to 9pm at Kihei Community Center. They will present their revolutionary technology using Concentrated Solar Thermal Power to provide sustainable power and electricity and will be available to the public and Legislators to discuss and answer questions for the implementation of this technology for Hawaii. Sustainable energy working groups, Industry and Energy entrepreneurs are welcome to bring their ideas and displays. Please RSVP to Lance Holter.

GOVERNMENT proposals to permit licensed badger shooting have been welcomed by the National Farmer's Union (NFU) in North Yorkshire.
But opponents argue that a cull would be prohibitively expensive and unlikely to have a meaningful effect on the spread of bovine tuberculosis (TB) it is meant to combat.
Proposals were passed this month to permit shooting in areas affected by the disease. While it has not had the same effect in North Yorkshire as it has in some areas of the country, the NFU warned of the dangers of allowing the disease to spread further.
Adam Bedford, the National Farmers' Union senior food and farming advisor for Yorkshire, said: "We welcome it [the proposal] because cattle move around the country and it is in everyone's interests to get on top of this disease. We don't want the problem to get this far north."
However, the Badger Trust - formed in the 1980s to provide a coordinated response to reports suggesting a connection between badgers and bovine TB - has come out in vehement opposition to the plans claiming there is no scientific basis for them.
National spokesman for the Badger Trust, Jack Reedy, told the Herald: "Badger culling, if it comes to pass, will represent a triumph of prejudice over science and of the feel-good factor over common sense."
He said it was a mistake to believe killing badgers was essential to clear up bovine TB and at best it would save one sixth of herd infections over nine years.
And that, he said, only applies if stringent conditions are met: aculling area which was at least eight miles by eight, in which 70 per cent of the area is targeted, and 70 per cent of the badger population is eradicated within a short period.
"This would be prohibitively expensive and make no meaningful contribution to the control of the disease," said Mr Reedy, "Whereas cattle-based measures rigorously applied - testing, slaughtering infected animals and observing movement rules - would be sufficient."
He added: "Worst of all the means of killing badgers just announced is shooting free running animals at night and in the open.
"This is likely to be literally hit and miss, and it will be difficult to prove the 70 per cent kill rate and meet the requirement that kills should be quick and human."
No one from the area will be able to apply for a license as they will only be granted in areas where the disease is a problem.
Currently, cattle in Yorkshire are only tested for bovine tuberculosis once every four years, compared to affected areas of the country where they are tested annually.
Farmer and chair of the Pateley Bridge lifestock auction centre, Judy Middlemiss, said: "[Bovine TB] just doesn't really affect us in this area as much as it does in the Midlands.
"As far as I know, it hasn't affected anyone in the area, but as soon as it starts to affect farmers and it hits their pockets, they will be up in arms."

Featured VA - Emma Jones of My Little Angel, Mid Glamorgan, UK
Date: 23-Jun-2013 12:00
Featured Virtual Assistant - Emma Jones of My Little Angel, Mid-Glamorgan, UK
Emma Leah Jones is first and foremost an entrepreneur. Having set up her own business by the time she was 16 years old, too young to have a business bank account and drive a car, Emma beat the odds to build a thriving Balloon Decorating and Party business which she was able to sell in 2004 after using the business to pay her way through a degree course in Business Management.
It was at University that Emma discovered she had exceptional organisational, social and business skills and wanted to use them in order to help businesses grow. After working for various companies Emma had gathered enough information about business types, management styles and office organisation to be able to offer her services as an Executive Personal Assistant and later an Executive Virtual Assistant.
Throughout her journey Emma has helped organisations such as the NHS South West Cancer Network to organise their administration team, offices and other Director's Personal Assistants, in order to be more streamlined and efficient. Emma also implemented a training programme for administration staff that wanted to become Personal Assistants.
Furthermore Emma has helped small businesses and entrepreneurs succeed by giving them the tools to organise their business, their offices, filing systems, booking systems and created comprehensive office management documents for their staff.
This hard work has not been unrewarded as Emma was announced runner up at Times and Hays PA of the Year Awards in 2010 and Executive PA Magazine's Upcoming PA of the Year 2009/10.
Going forward Emma manages her own Virtual Assistant business, My Little Angel, this is not a big business with lots of staff but it allows Emma to work for clients all over the World in doing what she does best, managing business, organisation and planning. Emma is available for remote Executive PA work, onsite office organisation and administration teams training for better office organisation. Emma is always happy to discuss opportunities that aide businesses or the roles of administrators, Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants and Virtual Assistants.

Amazon is shutting down its daily deals program and discontinuing the Amazon Local app along with it.
The Seattle online giant announced today that it will stop selling daily deals on its Amazon Local platform starting Dec. 18.
"We've learned a great deal from the daily deals business and will look for ways to apply these lessons in the future as we continue to innovate on behalf of our customers and merchants," a company spokesperson told GeekWire.
Amazon told GeekWire that starting Dec. 18, "you will no longer be able to reinstall or download the Amazon Local app if you switch devices or uninstall the app."
Amazon Local launched its daily deals service in 2011, initially working with LivingSocial (which Amazon invested in but later took a $169 million write-down on the investment) to offer discounted services on food, vacations, entertainment, and more, competing with companies like Groupon that offered similar packages. Amazon later added other capabilities to its Local platform, like allowing customers in Seattle to order food for carryout.
The Amazon Local service is currently live in 40 markets across the country.
Customers will still be able to redeem purchased vouchers after Dec. 18, while Amazon's Deal of the Day, Gold Box Deals, and Kindle Daily Deals will still be offered. The company did not comment on if it plans to offer daily deals elsewhere in the future.
On Amazon Local's help page, the company notes that it "still helps connect customers to local businesses through a variety of offerings – including Amazon Home Services and Prime Now Restaurants."
Last month, Amazon rolled out its new Prime Now restaurant delivery service to customers in Seattle and in Portland a few weeks ago. That service differs from the food delivery service Amazon Local offered, which required restaurant employees to deliver items versus Amazon's own drivers.
Earlier this year, Amazon launched its Home Services program, which enables customers to not only buy water heaters and TV wall mounts from the retailer, but also find someone to install them. Home Services is now available in 15 cities.
These changes are part of a broader shakeout in the daily deals market. Groupon, an early pioneer in the industry, eliminated 1,100 jobs across the company and exited business operations in seven countries last month. The company, which operates a large development center in Seattle, has seen it shares fall 39 percent over the past year.
LivingSocial also announced recent job cuts, slashing 20 percent of its staff last month as its shifts its business model toward "experiences."

Vatican II
The Crisis and the Promise
By Alan Schreck
Servant Books, 2005
320 pages, $20.99
To order: bookstore.franciscan.edu
Editor's note: This is the last of three Register book picks on Vatican II, Vatican II: The Crisis and the Promise.
At the beginning of the new millennium, St. John Paul II pointed to the Second Vatican Council as "the great grace bestowed on the Church in the 20th century." And he saw the Council as "a sure compass by which to take our bearings" in the 21st century. Pope John Paul II worked tirelessly to properly implement the Second Vatican Council and make its teachings clear.
In the book Vatican II: The Crisis and the Promise, theologian Alan Schreck draws heavily upon John Paul II and Benedict XVI to wade through the waters of interpretation of the Second Vatican Council. Schreck warns his readers of the murky waters caused by the two extremes of interpretation: "There was something wrong with the Council itself or its teaching" or a focus on "appeal[ing] to the 'spirit' of the Council to justify going beyond its actual teachings and directives."
And he systematically points out the follies of the advocates for either hermeneutic by showing the Council's connection to the constant Tradition of the Church.
In my pastoral letter, Ecclesia Semper Reformanda (The Church Is Always in Need of Renewal), warning of false interpretations, I stated that "the so-called 'spirit' of the Council … is a ghost or demon that must be exorcised if we are to proceed with the Lord's work." Schreck proposes the "true spirit of Vatican II … is a spirit of openness and boldness in sharing the truth of Jesus Christ and his Gospel with others. It is the spirit of the 'New Evangelization, which originated precisely at the Second Vatican Council.'"
Schreck, who has taught theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville for the last 36 years, focuses in his book "on the true understanding of Catholic doctrine as found in the documents of Vatican II and on its proper implementation." He tackles the questions of the Council's authority, its pastoral nature and its "harmony with past Catholic teaching," while also being an "advancement or development of Catholic Tradition."
The book contains a question-and-answer format, a simple structure for laypersons to understand. It offers reflections and explanations of each of the 16 Council documents.
At the end of each chapter, the author connects the documents of the Second Vatican Council to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and recent magisterial documents. He also offers a selection of key quotations from the Council documents for further meditation.
Schreck also offers a sobering reflection on the context in which we are living currently in the Church, stating that "there has been widespread confusion over the meaning and nature of the priesthood," and "Catholics … do not attend Sunday Mass or frequent the sacraments."
He sees the New Evangelization as a means of combating these problems. And he proposes a return to the basics, reminding the reader: "God has chosen to reveal himself to the human race in order to invite us into a personal relationship of friendship and fellowship with himself."
I encourage all the faithful and people of goodwill to read Alan Schreck's Vatican II: The Crisis and the Promise, but not to stop there.
Go on to read the Vatican II documents — through the presentation of Scripture and Tradition found in them, the Holy Spirit invites us to imbue ourselves from the wellspring of grace. May the Lord bless your journey!

Pieter pulled through and got these supporters cards whipped up for me with only a few days notice.
Thanks Pieter, if you are in Belgium and looking to get your supporters cards made shoot him an email.
Not so detailed (no sponsor images, etc.) and single sided. He did a kick ass job working with limited resources and a timeline! Thanks again!
Another HUGE shout out to Joe Sales. I should have gotten these done months ago. Thanks for the image Joe. Talk more soon when I get home in a couple weeks.
6 comments for "Last minute supporters cards!"
So Dope! A real American action hero! When does the movie come out?
No offense to Joe, who took a fine picture, but the artist's license on that supporter card really puts it on the top step. Put one of those by the car keys and I'll never drive again…
Yeah we went on location.
I was crossing the Himalayas in a long sleeve skin suit with a few clifshots tucked in my pants legs. Joe helicoptered in for the shoot.
The helicopter crashed and Joe and I had to bushwhack our way to a remote village in Tibet.
The rest of the story is not so interesting…
Hey Molly…love following you from back here in the States. How can we get those supporter cards?
Yeah. I want a limited addition action card too! Oh, and can you ask my boy Sven for one of his?
Very PRO! Would be great if we could score a few of those over here. You've hit the big time Molly!

A 31-year-old man testified he could only watch as local club manager Jack Law molested and then raped him on three separate occasions at his Sierra Drive residence in May 2005, allegedly after he had been offered a spiked drink.
Law, 59, went on trial yesterday in Circuit Judge Richard Perkins' courtroom charged with three counts of second-degree sexual assault.
He is accused of performing oral and anal sex on the younger man, a hairstylist who would frequent the now-closed Wave Waikiki and Hula's Bar & Lei Stand, both of which Law owned, to seek out potential customers.
He said he awoke on three separate occasions in Law's home to find Law violating him in the Jacuzzi, on the side of the Jacuzzi and then finally on a bed with a black bedspread. But he could not move or stop Law because his body was numb, and he could not move even if he wanted to.
"You have no way to control what's going on with your body," he said. "Your body's frozen. You can't fight anyone off."
The man said he previously had a glass and a half of wine earlier that night with a lady friend, then a Sprite at the Wave and was sober before he went to Law's home.
The defense contends the two engaged in intimate sex but nothing was forced and that Law was always asking him if he was OK with it.
"Everything that was going on in that hot-tub Jacuzzi was consensual," said defense attorney Todd Eddins.
The next morning, Law woke the man up so he could make his appointment at a tattoo parlor, took him to breakfast at a restaurant and parted with no ill will, Eddins said.
The man returned home after his tattoo appointment and fell asleep until the next day, and that was when he began remembering what happened to him, Eddins said.
The man went to the Sex Abuse Treatment Center at Kapiolani Medical Center, where he was examined. There were no drugs found in his system and no physical or forensic evidence to support his story, Eddins said.
