Alicia Vikander – 'Fatale'
Alicia Vikander is one of Sweden's busiest film stars – and she has already won her first Academy Award, for Supporting Actress in The Danish Girl. This femme fatale is the first Swedish actress to win an Academy Award since Ingrid Bergman in 1974.
Having appeared in a long row of major movie roles, Vikander came to international recognition in movies such as Anna Karenina, Testament of Youth and Ex Machina. Interestingly, this Academy Award winner was rejected from acting school five times. But her persistence paid off.
'I do work very hard. I have been very coloured by my early ballet education. I spent six days a week, seven hours a day training. That will always be the foundation of my work.'

Babba Canales – 'Uberwoman'
When taxi challenger Uber wanted to expand its business to Stockholm, they turned to 22-year-old Barbara, 'Babba', Canales Rivera to kick off and market the company's upstart car service. Under the vision and management of the super-talented Canales and two colleagues, Stockholm became the fastest growing Uber launch city at the time.
As a 24-year-old, this 'Uberwoman' moved to New York and a role as marketing manager for the company's NYC office. Focusing on building partnerships and collaborations in the fashion, art and music industries, one of her biggest scores in 2015 was working with American fashion brand Rag and Bone during New York Fashion Week. In 2016 Forbes named Canales one of their '30 under 30′, and she landed a new job as director of brand marketing at luggage label Away. She then moved on to start her own brand marketing agency, BY BABBA.
Lisa Jonsson – 'Misslisibell'
Blogger and YouTube sensation Lisa Jonsson (born 2001) has taken the internet by storm, discussing makeup tips, beauty products and fashion advice. 'Misslisibell' launched her own YouTube channel in 2012, which has attracted more than 230 million views and 400,000 subscribers at the time of writing.
'Before, there were no makeup videos in Sweden of girls my age. There were only adults in the US who did makeup videos … so I got many viewers,' Jonsson tells Swedish daily GP.
Not without debate, Jonsson has had her fair share of critics and has dealt with a lot of controversy by pulling in millions in products and advertising from cosmetic giants, who want her to be their brand ambassador. Despite the sometimes nasty commentary, Jonasson chooses to continue on with her passion, inspiring young girls.

Nikeisha Andersson – 'Creatrix'
Collaborating with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, Nikeisha Andersson began her career at age 16. After working at Sony Music for two years, Andersson started her own video production company, Nikeisha Andersson Film.
Andersson had a tough start in life. She was frequently bullied in school and endured more than her fair share of tragic life events. Andersson found peace watching TV and grew curious about the technological process that enabled her to laugh and find escape from heartache. 'Creatrix' began her journey into filmmaking.
Andersson's video production company has an impressive client list, which includes Swedish musicians such as Zara Larsson and Avicii; international musicians like Dubvision & Firebeatz and Kid Massive; and industry producers like Warner Music and Universal Music.

Sarah Sjöström – 'Miss Butterfly'
Swimmer Sarah Sjöström is focused on speed. She is one of the fastest freestyle and butterfly swimmers in the world. While a major contender in backstroke and freestyle racing, Sjöström is most known for her butterfly. In August 2017 'Miss Butterfly' became the first swimmer to hold eight (8!!!) world records.
On svt.se, she comments her eighth record: 'I'm a little surprised – I'm starting to feel a bit tired.'
Sjöström won her first international gold medal in the 100 metre butterfly in 2008 and broke the Swedish national records at the European Championships at the age of 14. Her swimming career may well become as long and prosperous as Therese Alshammar's, Sjöström's older, now 'retired' colleague (see link below).

Simone Giertz – 'Robotica'
Simone Giertz is a professional robotics enthusiast and self-proclaimed maker of 'really crummy robots'. Some of her inventions include a robotic toothbrushing helmet (which appears also to brush your face), an alarm clock that slaps you awake with a rubber hand and a robot that pours your breakfast cereal and milk making a huge mess in the process.
She found her calling at age eight, when she created her very first robot consisting of a block of wood and a stick. She got her first Arduino robotic starter kit in 2013 and threw herself into learning all she could about programming and hardware.
'Robotica' then landed a job as an in-house maker at a company that makes an Arduino board. Today Giertz freelances as a creative technologist and is a contributor at Tested.com. She uses humour to inspire people to learn more about electronics – and it works. Her YouTube channel has more than 45 million views and more than 900,000 subscribers at the time of writing.
Sofie Allert – 'Algaetor'
The Swedish Algae Factory was founded by Sofie Allert around the idea that a certain group of algae, known as diatoms, hold unique traits allowing them to grow in low temperatures and with low light levels. Endeavouring to produce raw materials for biofuels and reduce global warming, it is Allert's dream to have a hundred factories by 2030.
The then 24-year-old CEO was named winner of the 2014 Green Mentorship Award by Skype billionaire Niklas Zennström, in which Allert was awarded SEK 1 million. 'Algaetor' received additional funding of SEK 3 million from Sweden's innovation agency Vinnova to further develop her vision.
The Swedish Algae Factory already has customers interested in water purification using diatoms, and a major oil refinery has expressed interest in the project.

Victoria – 'Crown Princess' (no, wait, she is actually Crown Princess)
Crown princess and heir apparent, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée is the eldest child of Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf. The popularity of the crown princess has, in no small part, contributed to a renewed love affair with the Swedish monarchy, which saw a rebound in 2014 to 70 per cent of Swedes supporting the monarchy from a low of 46 per cent in 1996. Her fairy-tale wedding to Daniel Westling in 2010 was widely followed by the people of Sweden, international press and around the world.
Having studied geology, history and international relations, Crown Princess Victoria now travels extensively, maintaining a vast agenda of royal duties representing Sweden abroad and at home, visiting with foreign dignitaries as well as attending official events and openings. She also finds the time to be a mum to Princess Estelle, born on 23 February 2012, and Prince Oscar, born on 2 March 2016.

Zara Larsson – 'Zinger'
At the age of 18, artist and blogger Zara Larsson had already created an international career for herself. She has attracted attention for her witty social media posts on feminism, racism and sexism. Her Instagram photo showing herself wearing a condom on her leg proved that no man is too big to suit up. The post went viral. Twice in one year Larsson was named one of Sweden's most powerful voices and has been called a 'feminist genius'.
But she is also a singer and songwriter who received national fame winning the 2008 talent show Talang – Sweden's version of Got Talent. Larsson signed with TEN music in 2012, releasing her debut album Introducing in 2013. Her single 'Uncover' was certified platinum by Universal Music Sweden and she signed with Epic Records in the US in 2013. Her 2015 release, 'Lush Life' (above), was nominated for Grammis Song of the Year in Sweden. In 2015, she also released the single 'Never Forget You' together with British Grammy-nominated singer MNEK – it went platinum in Sweden within two weeks. She released her first international album, So Good, in 2017.

Garlic and Popcorn Pack an Antioxidant Punch!
Posted by Heather Bluhm on 5/9/2013 to Garlic Health Benefits
Did you know that popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks around?
Popcorn is loaded with antioxidants, even more than many fruits and vegetables.
However, skip the microwavable stuff and pop your own in an air-popper or the stove top kind. Itll save money and be much healthier.
According to a study from the University of Minnesota, diacetyl, the flavoring that gives microwave popcorn its buttery flavor could trigger a buildup of plaque causing Alzheimers. The research found that diacetyl increases the clumping in the brain of a protein, beta-amyloid, and hinders the brains ability to clear it.
Youll further add to popcorns healthful properties by cutting down on the butter.
Try this instead for mouthwatering popcorn: Mix extra virgin olive oil half and half with real butter, sprinkle in some Garli Garni or Garlic Festival Popcorn Seasoning and melt. Pour over your popcorn and toss. (For cheesy popcorn, try Garli Ghetti instead)

Practicing Peace on a Weaponized Campus
I grew up in Alberta, where my family has a 640-acre cattle ranch in the eastern foothills of the Canadian Rockies. I learned to shoot gophers with a .22, to chase cattle on horseback, to brand and castrate and tattoo calves. I went to school with the children of the oil industry; during the energy crisis of the 1970s, neighbors' cars sported bumper stickers reading "Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark." It's a place I fondly call the Texas of Canada.
Now I live in the liberal heart of Austin, in a house with solar panels on the roof. The family beneath that roof includes my wife Madge, artistic director of the experimental theater company Rude Mechs; our teenage boys, Max and Milo; and Madge's eighty-seven-year-old mother, a military widow Madge's friends fondly call Colonel Barb. Colonel Barb drives herself to Catholic mass every week and voted for Trump. She presides over our Sunday family dinner, which each week includes our friend Jon, who donated his sperm so I could give birth to our kids. Max and Milo call him Dodo for donor, and so does their half-sister Millie, who joins us with her mother, a single straight woman. Sometimes Jon brings a boyfriend.
We have a rule that we don't talk about politics at the table, but as a friend remarked after sharing one Sunday evening with us, "You sure do talk about everything else."
I don't have the luxury of avoiding conflict, is what I'm saying.
One thing I love about my job as a professor is that every day I get to create a laboratory for healthy conflict. Whether they know it or not, students go to college to conduct field experiments on their own lives. Especially in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts, a college classroom is a place to come face-to-face with the record of human knowledge and ignorance, greatness and failure, beauty and ugliness. Just as at the family dinner table, we can all get pretty uncomfortable in a college classroom. We can all say things we regret. And I very much include myself here.
But in my classroom, we get to practice speaking to one another, not just to be heard but to discover thoughts and feelings we may not have noticed beneath our habits and beyond others' expectations of us. We get to practice listening in order to really hear one another, not to defend our own positions but in the hopes of interacting more skillfully with people and ideas.
The Security We Need
This kind of speaking and listening is some of the hardest work we can do as human beings, and some of the most valuable and rewarding. Lately, though, it's been challenging in new ways. First, Senate Bill 11, the law that allows students to bring concealed firearms into university classrooms, went into effect on August 1, 2016. Then we experienced an especially divisive election season and inauguration. The University of Texas (UT) has seen demonstrations, walkouts, resignations, and the horrible murders of two students in two separate on-campus incidents.
We're all on edge, and my students are rattled. The day the guns-in-classrooms law went into effect, I was teaching a summer class on Jane Austen. We had a lot to do, so I planned to make a brief announcement about my office gun policy, as surreal as that seemed. I've never felt the truth of Wordsworth's phrase, "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" ([1802] 2012, 225), more forcefully than I did that day. An almost visible ripple moved through the room when I told students that while the new policy allowed them to bring concealed loaded weapons into the classroom, I requested that they not bring guns into my office. Eyes rounded in fear, shock, and horror. Some students gabbled questions, waving their hands for my attention. Some later confessed that, to their own shame, they had begun profiling their classmates to guess who might be carrying a weapon. A young woman with a military background said she would now make sure she always sat with her back to a corner, facing the door. Others shut down and stared at their desks. We did not talk much about Jane Austen that day.
In my first twenty-five years of teaching at UT, a student has walked out of my class upset exactly once. Since last August, it's happened three times.
Like you, I'm sure, I've been horrified by the epidemic of gun violence that is gripping our country. To me, the college classroom is a sacred space—a place to practice dealing with conflict without recourse to violence. My professional judgment as a teacher is that the kind of security we need in the classroom is incompatible with the presence of a loaded firearm.
That's a pretty widespread feeling on campus. It's why UT Chancellor William H. McRaven and UT Austin President Gregory L. Fenves both opposed the legislation. In another spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, a group of faculty animated by an instinctive sense of "no way, no how, not in my classroom" started a movement we call Gun Free UT. Our demonstrations, op-eds, window signs, T-shirts, and self-defense workshops have provided a platform for thousands of faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni to protest the legislation that President Fenves has reluctantly had to put in place. Gun Free UT has documented dozens of cases at UT in which invited speakers cancelled their appearances, potential hires turned down offers, and parents withdrew their children from college as a result of classroom carry. Gun Free UT has also allowed us to partner with national organizations combating gun violence, and that's how I became the plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Texas attorney general, the chancellor, and President Fenves—in their official, not personal, capacities, as the suit explicitly stated.1
I love my job, even though I'm suing my boss. I love my job, and that's why I'm suing my boss.
Taking Risks
In the era of the weaponized campus, it's gotten harder to bring students into that priceless experimental space: to hold their attention, to get them to leave their fears behind and encounter the beauty and wisdom of the literary tradition. When their security is shaken, it's hard for them to take risks, even—or maybe especially—intellectual risks. After years of conducting these classroom experiments, though, I know that their encounters with challenging literature in a strong classroom community can help them realize that their own struggles are actually what connects, not separates, them from other people. And that's a powerful source of security for a person or for society.
So this year, I'm taking a risk. Inspired by our Gun Free UT Peace Zone workshops, I'm starting my freshman World Literature class every day with a five-minute period of guided meditation. I tell the students I need their full attention, and I need the sense of trust that can develop when we make ourselves vulnerable with other people on a regular basis. I tell them it's an experiment, and they can judge for themselves what the effects of this kind of quiet-minded attention may be. I tell them it takes practice.
So we practice. We sit up straight in our chairs and feel our feet planted firmly on the floor. We notice that we're leaning on the table or the backs of our chairs, and we bring ourselves upright. We close our eyes, which feels risky in a place where you're not used to doing it. We feel that fear, however small it seems. We notice how we're being carried from one moment to the next on a wave of breath. We try to quiet our minds long enough to notice where that breath moves our bodies—how it opens our nostrils and throats, causes our chests to rise and fall, expands and contracts our bellies. We let ourselves get soft and vulnerable alongside one another. Just for a few minutes, but it feels like forever. And then we arrive, together.

Successfully imported json bookmarks file into FF19, and library view shows folders correctly, but Sidebar view shows no folders and so loses my organization.
Longtime FF user. Still on 3.6.28 mostly, due to my need for my large collection of hierarchically organized bookmarks. I have 2000+. Trying FF 19 today. Successfully imported the json file from other system. Via the Bookmarks menu, Show All reaches Library view and everything is there. Except for the fact that this FF design will not let me see the contents of more than one folder at one time. Which is why I've stayed with 3.6.28. Now, a friend has shown me that I can see multiple folders AND the contents of multiple folders using Sidebar Bookmarks, just as I wish. Great! But after importing my bookmarks, all I see is a random list of bookmarks in the Sidebar view. There are no folders or subfolders so with this view I lose all the organizational structure I see in the Library.
Am I missing something? Is there a way (an addon) that would put everything in the Library Right Pane? instead of just one folder? That would be fine.
Is there a way to preserve the organization of my bookmarks after importing them, in the Sidebar view? That would also be fine.
Thanks for any helpful answers. Otherwise, back to 3.6.28 I go.

The Bookmarks Sidebar and the Bookmarks Menu both default to the order in which the bookmarks were added. Do they match?
You can sort the Bookmarks Menu alphabetically, with folders at the top, by right-clicking Bookmarks Menu in the sidebar and choosing Sort by name. You also can sort folders using a right-click on the folder.
Does that give you the result you were looking for?
Задавший вопрос
Thanks for the speedy reply. I imported the bookmarks today into a fresh FF install. So they were "added" at the same time. So no, the two views don't match. Library shows folders, subfolders, and bookmarks. Sidebar view shows only bookmarks, in random order. No folders whatsoever in view.
I have absolutely NO wish to arrange bookmarks alphabetically. They were arranged in a particular manner in 3.6.28. Library View in FF19 maintained that order. Sidebar view disregards its completely and shows no folders at all.
I didn't mean to imply that the Bookmarks Sidebar should match the Library dialog. It usually matches the Bookmarks Menu on the menu bar. Do those match?
I don't know why the folders disappeared. When you restore a JSON backup, you should get a perfect match.
Try to delete the places.sqlite file and reimport/restore the bookmarks to see if that helps in case the places.sqlite file is corrupted.
Задавший вопрос
"I didn't mean to imply that the Bookmarks Sidebar should match the Library dialog. It usually matches the Bookmarks Menu on the menu bar. Do those match? "
Hmmm. That is precisely my concern. If the BM Sidebar contents don't match the Library dialog in contents and organizational structure, then this upgrade would be of no use. The Library dialog has folders, subfolders and all the bookmarks, properly sorted, on my import/restore. (Just not access within two+ folders at once.) I am not interested in settling for less than that in the Sidebar where full and easy access is possible to all bookmarks, given that this is what I can do in 3.6.28 using Old Manage Bookmarks. All the functionality in one view.
Cor-el -- looking into your suggestion next. Thanks to you both .. will be back.
Задавший вопрос
Jscher2000 - the Bookmarks Menu matches the Sidebar menu. Just a randomized list of bookmarks with no folders. Neither match the Library menu.
Задавший вопрос
Might have some clues though -- after deleting sqlite, then restoring ...
Getting error messages "A script .. may be busy ...." while it replaces the previously installed bookmarks.
chrome://browser/content/places/treeview resource://gre/components/PlacesCategoriesStart
Eventually, the re-import completed but the problem remains.
I do not have Chrome on this system, fwiw.
Задавший вопрос
ok -- that should be two separate messages, the second one appearing twice.
You should see all bookmarks and folders in the Bookmarks Sidebar.
- The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
- The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
- The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores the bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
You can also check for problems with the localstore.rdf file that stores the status of open folders in the sidebar.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
Задавший вопрос
Thank you cor-el for that reassurance. Unfortunately, FF does not wish to comply.
I had a spare localstore.rdf ... tried replacing that in the profile folder .. no help.
Went to safemode ... fresh FF19 install today so I already had no addons, extensions, themes. Used safemode anyway, and none of the bookmark collections appeared any different than before.
Задавший вопрос
Just now did a google search on firefox bookmarks "script .. busy" and seeing quite a few results. Cor-el, you've handled several I see.
So I'm guessing that my problems are related to these messages somehow.
It was a fresh FF19 install, and I did not bring over any part of an older profile. Just the .json file.
Its encouraging to know what SHOULD be possible here. I just don't know what else to try next.
This almost sounds that there is a problem with the JSON file that you used to restore the bookmarks.
In which folder(s) are those bookmarks located?
Are that all sub folders of the Bookmarks Menu folder?
Are they visible in the Bookmarks menu drop down list (menu bar or Firefox menu button)?
Задавший вопрос
In which folder(s) are those bookmarks located?
I retrieved it from PC1, FF 3.6.28, via a search. I just picked one with the most recent date. Copied to desktop and emailed to PC2. On PC2, using FF19, its wherever the Restore placed it.
Are that all sub folders of the Bookmarks Menu folder? Sorry, no comprendo.
Are they visible in the Bookmarks menu drop down list (menu bar or Firefox menu button)? The json files? On PC1, 3.6.28, via BM menu and Restore, I see six backups available.
I'm not talking about location of files on the hard drive (computer), but about the bookmark folders that you see in the Library and other places like the bookmarks sidebar where the various bookmarks are located in Firefox.
Задавший вопрос
Sorry, then Cor-el. But that leaves me confused.
"the bookmark folders that you see in the Library and other places"
I ONLY see folders and subfolders in the Library view.
None of those folders or subfolders - not one (of the 100s), is visible in either the Sidebar view, or the Bookmarks menu view.
So then I don't know how to interpret your questions above.
In the Library view, all of my bookmarks and folders and subfolders collapse into one folder, if I close them all.
One other thing, is that in the Library view, all the bookmarks and folders are arranged in the order that they came from, PC1.
On PC2, as I've tried to indicate, the Sidebar view and BM menu contain random ordering of individual bookmarks ... and not one of those that should be at the top, are at the top.
Quote: In the Library view, all of my bookmarks and folders and subfolders collapse into one folder, if I close them all.
How do you close all folders?
If you close the All Bookmarks folder in the left pane in the Library then you obviously won't see bookmarks
Are you sorting the bookmarks in the Library on PC2 (Views > Sort)?
Can you export the bookmarks to an HTML file to see if importing that file after having deleted places.sqlite works?
You can open such a HTML backup in Firefox via File > Open File to see if all bookmarks are present.
Задавший вопрос
In the Library view, everything functions as Mozilla would have it. Yes, individual bookmarks are not to be seen, except in the right side pane. And only from one folder at a time. Returning to the beginning, that was my complaint with Show All Bookmarks and why I've stuck with 3.6.28 coupled with Old Manage Bookmarks.
And that's why I asked if anyone is aware of an addon to make the contents of more than one folder visible in the right hand pane of the Library view in FF 4 and up. I've even tried Mike S's "hack" of OMB to see if I could make "Organize Bookmarks" return on FF19. No luck.
So Library View works as it "should". But that's insufficient for my needs.
You've indicated that Sidebar view SHOULD function as I wish. But so far, barring a fix, I don't see folders, subfolders nor individual bookmarks in the order that they started in, from PC1. I don't know why that failed. I'm happy to keep trying things, til the moon turns green.
Proceeding along -- sort Library? Yes, sorting works. But since the Library is functioning, unsorted is my preference. To make the Library View FULLY ADEQUATE though, I'd want to see bookmarks in different folders viewable at one time. What I need is the Sidebar view with all the folders showing, replicating the Library's View hierarchical structure.
HTML export and import? I'm sure I can import one into FF19. But I don't know how to export them from PC1 as my bookmarks are in .json format. When I try to do that, the dialog window confines me to selecting an HTML file, and so I can't export the .json file I have. I'm sure there's an easy answer, but its not intuitive.
Thx P
An HTML export and a JSON backup are different formats and you shouldn't mix or confuse them.
An HTML backup file is simply an HTML file (file extension .html) with link (<A>) tags for the bookmarks and folders use an H3 tag.
Importing an HTML backup will merge the bookmarks with existing bookmarks.
A JSON backup (file extension .json) stores more types of data in JSON (object notation) format and restoring a JSON backup will replace all current bookmarks.
You can only see the content of one folder at the time in the right pane in the Library and that is the folder that is selected in the left pane.
To see multiple folders you would have to use the Bookmarks sidebar and make sure that the folders are open (click the + or arrow to toggle).
What exactly do you see in the sidebar?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Задавший вопрос
OK ... I don't know how I converted a .json file to an HTML file, but I found a BM collection from two months ago. Sent it over, imported it.
Same results. Library View displays as expected. Lots of folders on the left.
Sidebar view is the same as before. No folders.
The difference this time, is that I did NOT get the js error messages when I imported via HTML, versus .json.
And it went much faster. (I would still welcome guidance on how to convert .json to HTML, please.)
I wonder whether something changed between Firefox 3.6.28 and Firefox 19 which is causing these restore problems. As long as you're experimenting, you could try restoring in an intermediate version of Firefox (e.g., 10) using a Portable version to see whether you get a full restore. They are all available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./

The tricky (and boring) bit!
Your writing and your material, whatever it may be, is yours and yours alone. However, posting things online -tumbler, word press etc – muddles things up a bit. At least if you are trying to find out about the rules for it!
Our approach is that of common sense, more or less:
If you are thinking about reusing your story (poem, script, riddle etc) for competition or the like, do not post the whole and entire piece online.
When a piece of writing is posted on, for example, a blog it technically qualifies as being PUBLISHED. Short extracts are normally fine, but should you post an entire story, of any length, it is generally viewed as published.
This can cause a problem if you want to reuse this story- for example, in a competition, to send to an agent or publisher, etc etc. Some will not like it if the piece have been online and available to others – it is dark jungle full of first rights, online rights, printing rights and so on and so forth. In some cases people will not care if the piece have been posted on a small, personal blog or website – again, how much you want to care about all this depends on how you might potentially want to use a story later on.
Happy writing!

What is What Works?
The What Works track (originally called CanMEDS Best Practices), is an accessible venue for medical educators, residents and practicing physicians to hear what others are doing to teach, learn and role-model CanMEDS competencies.
What is the advantage of this track?

Dangerous Desire was a nice escape from my day and, given that I'm a pet lover as well, I really enjoyed the animals and the fact the main characters were both pet lovers. I also appreciated Ms. Escalera's inclusion of multi-cultural characters without making a presentation of it – the characters are who they are and they just happen to be multi-cultural. I really liked that aspect of Dangerous Desire.
Ms. Adams has created a rich world of ancient shifters and almost as ancient feuds that really drew me into the world and made me want to learn more about the Dragonstar clan and the history of these ancient beings… loved the dragon-shifter world and mythos Ms. Adams has created in this story and I liked both the main characters quite a bit. They both share a deep love of family, honor and purpose. While I enjoyed Dark Embers, especially its mix of paranormal, biological warfare, emotions and mysteries, I really wished it had more plot and less sex.

should i use salt koi pond
should i use salt koi pond should you put salt in koi pond To salt or not to salt? It's a question hotly debated by koi hobbyists. When used in low doses, salt has many health benefits for your fish – but when used in too-high doses, it can do more harm than good. Here's what you need to know about adding salt to your pond.
salt in koi pond Many people who keep Koi fish insist on adding salt in koi pond
salt in koi pond can be a good idea in quarantine ponds, as it can help those fish that are suffering from stress.
However, salt in koi pond may cause more trouble than it is worth in a pond for breeders or young Koi.
When a sufficient quantity of salt is placed in the pond water, the skin of the Koi gets slightly irritated.
This causes them to have to produce an extra thick slime coat.
That slime coat helps to protect them from parasites and bacteria, which sounds good.
The reality is that salt kept in a pond all year can cause the parasites that plague your Koi fish to slowly but surely build up a resistance to the salt.
This will make it harder than ever to kill off the parasites and rid your fish of them once and for all.
A little salt in koi pond is fine in the Spring to boost the immune system of your breeders, but make sure to do your regular water changes in order to clean all the salt out of your pond when this "spring tonic" is used.
don't add salt to your koi pond unless for medical purposes for a specific, diagnosed issue (such as Whitespot or Nitrite). And then, if possible, remove the koi fish to quarantine and treat them there.You can also use it very effectively as a bath at high concentrations.
Salt has very few and very limited purposes which is why so few use it in a pond-wide application. If the water is salted it can cause some medications (if any are needed) to become toxic.
Conclusion it is NOT a good idea to leave salt in your koi pond all year long. … Such drastic measures can often times be dangerous to your koi fish
Bottom line, if you don't have a thorough understanding of "why" anything should be added to your pond, what is the point? Would you put a band aid on your hand if there was no wound?
should i use salt koi pond People also ask
Is salt good for koi pond?
Pond salt is something every fish or koi owner should have on hand at all times. Adding pond salt will help boost your koi's natural defenses to disease and add beneficial electrolytes to the water.
Should I put salt in my pond?
If you're adding low doses of salt to your pond and have no aquatic plants, use 2½ cups of salt per 100 gallons of water and disperse the pond salt evenly around the shoreline. Salt will not evaporate or get filtered out, so the only time you need to add more salt is when you do water changes

A minimum for one pound (2 cups) of Salt to a maximum of 2.5 pounds (5 Cups) per 100 Gallons (.1 to .25%) of water should be added to your pond. Salt is essential for fish health.
Will Salt kill algae in a pond?
Using Rock Salt. Other than placing your pond in a shady area where it does not receive ample sunlight, you can use rock salt to kill algae. Laguna Koi Ponds recommends 1 lb. of rock per 1,000 gallons of water to kill the string-like algae. Use caution when using salt as it can kill plants and fish in the pond.
Can you put salt in the pond?
Adding Pond Salt to Your Koi Pond. … If used in correct doses, pond salt can offer many benefits to koi carp and pond water.
Can koi fish survive in saltwater?
koi fish can live only in a freshwater environment. Some fish species can live in both freshwater and saltwater. … However, most fish species can only survive in one or the other based on their salinity tolerance, or how much salt their bodies can handle.
Is Pond salt the same as aquarium salt?
Basic Aquarium Salt is not the same as the formulated mixes used to make a brackish or saltwater aquarium. Aquarium Salt is simply Sodium Chloride, and does not contain minerals and trace elements like calcium and iodine like sea water mixes.
What is Pond salt made of?
All-natural API® Pond Salt is made from evaporated sea water, and provides essential electrolytes that fish need to survive. Salt improves gill function, protects against nitrite toxicity, and reduces stress by helping to maintain a natural balance of electrolytes in the body fluids of pond fish.
what kind of salt to use in pond
Adding pond salt will help boost your koi's natural defences to disease and add beneficial electrolytes to the water.
Non-iodized salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is commonly used in the health care and maintenance of fishes, especially Koi and goldfish.
Can I use table salt in my pond?
You can't, however, just dump a scoop of common salt, like tasty table salt or ice-melting rock salt, into the water.
Fish friendly Pond Logic® Pond Salt is made from pure evaporated sea salt – and that's it.
It contains no iodine, chloride or other harsh chemicals that could harm your fish.
How much salt should be in a koi pond?

Recipe Ingredients:
Tomato puree, 250 g
Buffalo mozzarella, 250 g
Pitted black olives
Pickled capers
Chilly olive oil
Make the dough and place it in a kitchen towel to rise for one hour. Spread the dough, divide into 4 relatively thin disks: cover them with tomato puree and slices of mozzarella, a few black olives and some drained capers. Add a pinch of salt to each pizza and place in an oven at 200C for 20 minutes.
Serve the pizzas with basil leaves and some fresh olive oil.
A rich variance would be to top the pizza not just with tomato and black olives but also with anchovies, slices of onions, and sliced garlic.

WEST COVINA — The California Highway Patrol today said Monday that investigators no longer consider the Saturday night death of a pedestrian on the San Bernardino (10) Freeway a hit-and-run, as was initially thought.
Grisol Lupita Ramirez, 22, of Pomona was struck by a vehicle after she got out of a disabled car on the westbound 10 Freeway about 11:25 p.m. Saturday, according to the CHP. She died at the scene.
Ramirez had been riding in a Honda Civic that crashed and stopped in the No. 2 lane, according to the CHP.
"Ms. Ramirez exited the Honda Civic from the passenger's side and walked directly into the path of a Honda Accord in the No. 1 lane," a CHP statement said. "Ms. Ramirez was struck by the Honda Accord and she came to rest in the No. 1 lane."
The driver of the Accord, 30-year-old Michael Dinh of Covina, stopped at the scene and was interviewed by officers, according to the CHP.
The crash initially was classified as a hit-and-run, but on Monday morning, a CHP statement said that was no longer the case.
"The CHP no longer considers this to be a hit-and-run collision," the CHP statement said.
Anyone with more information about the case was urged to call the CHP's Baldwin Park office at (626) 338-1164.

Mass solemnization
Or: liturgy on deadline.
It turned out that this Shabbos (when I wasn't working) happened to be the day when our shul's rabbi talked about gays, lesbians, and marrying 'em off to each other. Being a rabbi, and a sober, thoughtful one at that, he said (I'm paraphrasing): "I'll think about it and let you know." No surprise there.
The decision for our shul about whether to solemnize (celebrate, kiddush-ify, etc.) gay and lesbian partnerships is not really up in the air; I'd be surprised if the rabbi's decision does not make use of the CJLS teshuvot allowing them. But one main thing, now that the decision has more or less already been made, is that these ceremonies be not lame.
By "not lame" I actually mean a somewhat higher standard: liturgically powerful. With traditional oomph. Let the first GL couple come up to our bimah and get married in the context of psukim thoughtfully and poetically framed. I want liturgical creativity but in a formalist vein. Let us not have fifty different versions of self-written vows, nor de-heterosexualized versions of kiddushin -- since homosexual marriages are bound to be something else. Why not a legal formula that challenges and surprises, as does the harei at every time I hear it said? Why not re-write the ketubah from scratch? Who says a glass has to be broken?

TV RecapsExtant Premiere Review: Surprisingly Solid Summer Sci-FiTV Recaps - RSS 2.0
A compelling cast, smart writing and film-quality special effects are making Extant a surprise must-watch summer series.
I admit I went into watching the pilot episode of Extant (CBS, Wednesdays @ 9pm) with very low expectations. Between Halle Berry, Steven Spielberg and CBS, this 13-episode summer series had bland written all over it. And the trailers I saw in the advance didn't do anything to help that perception. But damn if this first hour didn't suck me in from the get go and leave me wanting more with its subtle writing, convincing performances and film-quality effects.
Set in the near future of self-driving cars and clear glass computer tablets, Halle Berry plays Molly Woods, an astronaut who has just returned from 13 months of solo scientific study on the privately-owned space station Seraphim. She's having trouble readjusting to her Earth-bound life. Not only is she feeling physically ill, but she can't seem to reconnect with her son or her husband. And in case that's not enough, there's someone stalking her outside her house.
A routine medical check up reveals that she's pregnant and by the timing of it, it had to happen on the spacecraft. This is impossible since A) she's infertile and B) she was up there by herself. We learn through flashbacks that during a solar flare that reduced the space station to emergency power, she saw her dead ex-husband on the craft and he seduced her. When she reviewed the camera footage she saw that he was never on the ship, just her reacting to thin air, so she deleted the cam footage. She lies and says she simply spent the time working to get the systems back online and took a nap, but her boss is suspicious of her explanation.
Her boss then meets with a Japanese mogul who just got out of some kind of stasis chamber. It's intimated that what happened to her on the space station was an experiment and they want to know what happened during those 13 hours of missing time. Also: this the second experiment, as the first ended with an astronaut who took his life after he returned to Earth. Oops.
Back at home, Molly isn't having a great time with her son who is an android programmed to approximate human emotion and to learn based on experience. Which translates into being a bratty kid who throws a fit when his ice cream falls on the floor and runs away in a huff. When Molly finds him in the bushes next to a dead bird, he says he didn't do it. He also tells her she has pretty hair which is a really creepy way of trying to kiss up to an adult when in trouble. I'd call that standard kid behavior as well, but in the show, we don't know the truth of his actions.
At the end of the episode, Molly is still hiding her pregnancy from her husband and boss while trying to decide what to do next. She is also struggling to make sense of what really happened to her on the space station. Out of the shadows, the stalker on her street is back and he steps into the light this time. It's the astronaut who supposedly killed himself after experiencing something similar, but he is alive, knows what she's is going through and tells her to trust no one before disappearing again.

Highlights and Shadows
I dreamed of a great life
I wished to be a tower on a hill
But the immediate path was hard
And failure had me at standstill
I believed in a better day
Looked to a great tomorrow
But expectations were dashed
And many were days of sorrow
Within the disappointments
Surrounded by loneliness
I discovered who I was
And found that I could bless
I'm giving a couple of talks in the next few days, one is this Saturday at a TedX event, and the other is at a "singles" event VCF Alabang. Given that people are so easily excited, it's time for another "don't be so easily impressed" post.
Here's why: It's stupid.
It's stupid to look at someone's highlights (like his social media posts, his talks, his writing, painting, and other public wins) and be impressed, without taking into account a person's basic humanity.
It's even more stupid to compare a person's public highlights to our own personal shadows, the things we're not so proud off, and even ashamed off. Let's say we take all of Vince Carter's slam dunks (he's known for them) and compare them with Lebron James' missed shots, lost games, and turnovers, we would mistakenly think that Vince Carter is a better player than Lebron James. He's not. Get the point? When you're easily impressed by the highlights, you forget that's not the complete picture. There are things you're not seeing. Like any great painting, that seemingly amazing person, is an interplay of highlights and shadows.
And so are you.
You are an interplay of highlights and shadows. You're the person who doesn't have a girlfriend at the moment AND you're the person bootstrapping a future million Dollar company. You're the person who was kicked-out of school AND you're the person who is making that artistic masterpiece. I can go on, but the simple points are:
- Don't be so easily impressed by someone's highlights. That's never the full story. There are shadows there too. And it's not lying that they don't post their shadows. That's prudence actually.
- Don't compare your life's mundane-ness, failures, or shameful memories (your life's shadows) to someone else's highlights. You might just find they have more shadows. That's what I've found.
- Don't waste your time as a spectator in someone else's highlights and shadows. That's living vicariously. Be grateful for your highlights, learn from your shadows, and live your own life.
The person you idolize is a human (like you), takes a crap (like you), loses his temper (like you), worries (like you), gets tired (like you), gets impatient (like you), and does stupid things (like you).
Doesn't spend his time living vicariously admiring someone else (unlike you). That's probably the biggest difference. It's not between lucky and unlucky, great and mere mortals, nor blessed and cursed. The difference is between those who take responsibility for their own life's results and those who don't.
I don't like having fans. Maybe that's why I rarely reply to them. Haha! They're of no use to me. At best, they're people to maintain, and at worst, they're future crucifiers, such as what happened to Jesus. Those who praised Him, crucified Him. I like partners. I like people I can rely on. I like people I can work with, build with, people who can stand on their own enough to be useful to others. These are the people I reply to the most, the people I plan with, and execute with.
Don't be fan. Don't be mine. Don't be anyone's. Focus instead on your every day, and make your highlights and shadows count.
