Out of the ashes into the fire
Nice, thank you very much. Timing is indeed key.
(also btw, a misspelling, it should be "all for naught" rather than "all for not" in first sentence.)
Ops yes indeed, thank you!ReplyDelete
Just found an interesting study that kind of backs up my theory of 3 different responses to the idea of collapse, but they call it 1) fundamentalism, 2) nihilism, or 3) activism.
The "philosophy of the absurd" was one of my first, several decades ago. I found its best use was to prevent untoward emotional reactions, because one could stop and reconsider that whatever was distressing may be all absurd anyway, in the sense of beyond human comprehension.
Later, I developed a sort of megasynthesis of ancient mysticism's perennial philosophy, dressed up in the language of science, in ways that attempted to take the principle of the conservation of energy more seriously, as well as notice that an arbitrary minus sign had been asserted into the entropy equations of thermodynamics and information theory, which had effectively reversed the meaning of the concept of entropy.
Energy is Spirit. Entropy is the scientific Satan. "Purpose," from the point of view of cybernetics, arises when some of the outputs of a system return as inputs. Since one may regard the Universe as defined as being that for which all outputs return as inputs, therefore, the Universe as a whole is the supreme purpose.
Of course, human beings have been thinking about these issues for as long as they have been human and able to think at all. The main thing that has changed has been relative progress in physical science, enabling technologies to become trillions of times more powerful than ever before in known human history. There are intense paradoxes manifesting due to the ways that natural selection pressures drove the development of human artificial selection systems which are based upon the maximum possible deceits and frauds. Therefore, we are living inside of Wonderland Matrix Bizarro Worlds, where everything appears to be absurdly backwards.
Peak Resources problems are particularly intense due to our political economy becoming based on POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, which tended to require attitudes of deliberate ignorance, which drove their dilemmas that being able to back up lies with violence never stops those lies from still being false.
Due to the entrenched, established systems being built on runaway vicious spirals of POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, being stuck in the middle position of some degree of fatalism or nihilism may be regarded as realistic cynicism.
Since civilization was actually being controlled by the principles and methods of organized crime, the excessive successfulness of doing that drove society as a whole to become more and more psychotically detached from relatively objective facts, or criminally insane, such as how quantum mechanics and the special theory of relativity enabled the develop of globalized systems of electronic monkey money frauds, backed by the threat of force from apes with atomic bombs.
Due to POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, the socialized losses had no effective ways to prevent those things from happening. However, as we approach the times of Peak Resources, we are forced more and more to face the facts that the accumulating socialized losses are added up to become greater than the previously privatized profits.
There are reasons for how and why human beings and civilization operate as entropic pumps of environmental energy flows, in ways which became based upon the maximum possible deceits and frauds, which makes that world appear to be absurdly backwards. Some basic concepts of general energy systems are that the most labile components control the system, and the system will operate along its own path of least action, or least resistance. In human terms that means that civilization was controlled by the people who were the best at backing up lies with violence, and therefore, civilization developed along the path of least morality. However, none of that actually stopped the principle of the conservation of energy from continuing to work.
In any true Philosophy of the Absurd, it would be equally absurd to realize the existence of God, eternal truth or meaning, as it would to say there is no God, eternal truth or meaning. And revolution will come, as sure as the sun will set and rise ;) A new Aeon.
We are not threatened by peak oil, but by peak finance. Peak finance was reached in 2014, so now we're not able to add more debt without the system unraveling, and without debt it cannot continue, as the system is dependent upon eternal growth.
This is called a deflationary collapse, which will start next year. By 2050 it will be all over, and nature can restart without humans.
By the way, my friend Eivind Berge tried to explain why a deflationary collapse is unavoidable in this comments section (closed 23-07):
Yes, I agree it would be equally absurd to find any eternal meaning but we homo sapiens are very much driven by our ideas of meaning, whether or not these actions are truly meaningful or not is another question.
Well, the underlying problem is one of resource depletion that leads to peak wealth (finance), but we can change economic rules if we want to, not the laws of thermodynamics.
Have you studied this graph by Tverberg:
The economic rules must adapt to this situation. The energy per capita will be very small, as we are so many more people than before. In 2035 we will have only 10-15 percent of the energy we have now for disposition.
This will happen not because of peak oil, but because peak finance.
Yes I am well aware of Gail's prognosis and emphasis on finance, but we need to take such projections with a grain of salt because most "models" only work under current assumptions as mentioned by Dennis Meadows with his World3 model. It is true that most people will experience it as poverty and think its purely a financial problem, just like now, but that doesn't provide any insight whatsoever to the fundamental problem.ReplyDelete
Tverberg recently had a post about that model:
I prefer to take her projections with a barrel of salt. Salt will become very important for surviving the cholera epidemics that will come when the grid is down, and with that sanitation. To survive cholera you need to drink a lot of water mixed with salt and sugar. Water alone will not help much. Further salt will become important again to store food.
In Sweden you might don't feel the impact so well yet, as you are not an oil exporting country. It all depends on how long we can keep the grid operating? When the grid goes down all kinds of epidemics will get loose.
Yes I agree that finance is important, the "operating system" and I very much respect Gail's prognosis even if I think it's very difficult to assess a timeframe for the downward spiral. It is true we don't export oil, we import from Norway, Denmark and Russia. Which is expensive and will soon come to an end. So I think transportation will get hit first, before the grid, at least over here. We also have huge credit bubbles so people don't perceive the economy to be that bad, yet. But that is probably on the verge of shifting. Sure we see collapse, but mostly in terms of a massive inflow of refugees that we don't have enough beds for at the moment.ReplyDelete
Yes, helicopters are very important in keeping the grid operating. So transport will go first.Delete

Time's up: gradualism won't save us
Reason 1: The idea of a "safe upper limit" to warming is a myth
For years, policymakers considered 2° C of warming over pre-industrial levels the point at which "dangerous" climate change would begin. TLDR: what this really meant was, 'this is when we think it'll get bad for rich countries.'
The UNFCC Paris climate agreement set a goal of keeping warming to "well below" 2° C this century. But of the 195 signatories of the Paris Agreement, only seven countries' commitments are considered "compatible" with the agreement's goal targets. All of them are in the Global South
Former NASA scientist James Hansen has repeatedly described the 2°C temperature target as a "prescription for disaster." In 2009, Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping, the Sudanese chairman of the G77, urged the world community to abandon the target: "Two degrees centigrade [of warming] translates into...certain death for Africa."
Not only would 2°C of warming devastate crop yields across the planet, it would likely cause the complete collapse of the Greenland ice sheet and an enormous sea-level rise that would render the planet "ungovernable." In addition, warming well below 2°C would likely cause a massive, long-term release of carbon dioxide and methane from thawing Arctic permafrost.
Current warming of 1° C is already causing millions of deaths from heatwaves, infectious disease, and extreme weather events, as well as a refugee crisis of horrific proportions. The last time the earth experienced similar C02 concentration rates, humans didn't exist.
Averting catastrophe will require shattering our assumptions about "acceptable" levels of warming and dismantling the unjust power structures that got us into this mess.
Reason 2: There is no carbon budget if we face reality
The truth is that the atmosphere very likely already contains enough greenhouse gases to eventually warm the earth more than 2°C, and that humanity has no "carbon budget" left to burn if we apply basic safety and risk management standards to the climate system.
The New York Times has reported that limiting warming to 1.5°C would require global industrial greenhouse gas emissions to come to an end by 2030. Climate researcher Glenn Peters has projected that meeting the 1.5C target would require a global fossil fuel phase-out between 2025 and 2030, as well as a large-scale effort to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

More than a year after Irma, state says money will flow to some homeowners to rebuild
The state Department of Economic Opportunity on Monday launched a new program providing $616 million to help the most vulnerable in the hardest-hit areas rebuild their homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Irma.
Rebuild Florida will place centers in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Brevard, Collier, Lee, Polk, Orange and Duval counties.
The first one — in the Keys, where Irma made landfall Sept. 10, 2017 — opened Monday in Marathon on the second floor of a state building located at 2796 Overseas Hwy., next to the Marathon Government Center. The rest of the centers will open over the next five days.
"We know that many families across the state are still struggling, even one year after Hurricane Irma," said Cissy Proctor, executive director of DEO, at a press conference Monday in Marathon.
"For those whose homes were destroyed or are still damaged, please go online to RebuildFlorida.gov or visit a Rebuild Florida center opening near you to register for assistance," Proctor said. "Our Rebuild Florida team will guide homeowners through every step of the process and help them repair and rebuild their homes."
The Marathon center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is the only one in the Keys. Residents only need to bring identification to register and case managers will help homeowners register for the program.
The program is open to residents who own their homes and to owners of rental properties. Low-income individuals, including the elderly, those with disabilities and families with young children will be given priority.
In the Keys, several thousand homes were damaged or destroyed and communities such as Big Pine Key and Marathon still bear the fresh scars of Irma. Many have been unable to rebuild or finish repairs due to inadequate insurance, being uninsured or unable to find contractors.
"Unfortunately, we have some individuals who haven't had the chance to start," said Stephanie Kaple, executive director of Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, which provides housing assistance and homeless prevention services.
The federal funding was announced by Gov. Rick Scott and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in June, part of the state's total federal take of $1.4 billion for disaster recovery.
"The first phase is dedicated to repairing and replacing homes of low-income families in the most impacted communities," Proctor said.
Rebuild Florida will also have buses traveling the state beginning Oct. 1. That schedule and dates of the other center openings weren't released Monday.
Residents can call 1-844-833-1010 or go to www.rebuildflorida.gov to register. Eligible property owners have until Dec. 23 to register for the Rebuild Florida Housing Repair and Replacement Program.
"We are going to bring new meaning to building strong, building resilient and building better," said State Rep. Holly Raschein, R-Key Largo. "This is an opportunity for our residents to apply for resources, that is what we need."

I always go into shoots not really knowing what to expect. Every shoot is a little different. Maybe I have never met any of the family. Or maybe I know them all too well. But there is never an air of predictability about a shoot. There is always an air of uncertainty.
I actually like it this way. If I go in assuming something is going to be a certain way, I usually am caught off guard or disappointed. But when I can't predict it, I am almost more relaxed. I have a "whatever may come" attitude and approach which I think, in turn, puts everyone more at ease. There are no time constraints, no limits, no preconceived ideas about the day. Which usually makes everyone ease into their spots, becoming casually who they are....without even trying or knowing they are doing it.

I like letters. I think deep down I always have but it wasn't fully obvious to me until I had my first ever calligraphy lesson with Gaye Godfrey- Nicholls in early 2013. It was a beginners class and we were learning Italics, a well-known, traditional calligraphy script. Writing with a nib and ink was a whole new world to me. I seemed to pick it up quite easily though compared to the other students, which encouraged me a lot.
I soon discovered that as valuable as it was learning traditional scripts, my heart was aching to attempt some modern calligraphy styles. I purchased an online course from Molly Jacques and began teaching myself her modern calligraphy style. I loved how there were less rules and more opportunities to create your own unique alphabets. Around this time I was also introduced to brush lettering which produces great textures within your letters. My all-time favourite types of lettering are those that embrace mistakes and imperfections.
A year ago I was undecided on what direction I wanted to take my lettering and I remember listening to some advice from Seanwes on how to discover your passion. He suggested examining your Instagram feed and observing what type of people you are mostly following. I'd guessed that there were a lot of calligraphers and hand letterers on my feed but what surprised me was the amount of street artists I was following. This one moment opened my eyes to my street art obsession. I looked back at my past and realised I had never missed an opportunity to discover street art especially when I was travelling.
This was when I decided I wanted to create lettering murals. You can contact jess

Below are a couple of preferred notions regarding milk : France makes a great deal of various sort of cheese, Americans consume alcohol a great deal of milk, and people in Asia don't have much from an rate of interest in any foods that need to made with nursing animals.
While it's real that France has the marketplace cornered when that concerns selection in the cheese video game, Americans are consuming alcohol much less milk, and China's climbing center course is creating a preference for cheddar. that aids to supply a little bit of context for the information that appeared today : China will quickly be the home of the world's biggest milk ranch, which will residence a tremendous 100, 000 cows, inning accordance with Interfax. The biggest milk ranch in the U. S. has 30, 000 going from livestocks, while one more in China holds the existing globe document from 40, 000 cows.
If Milk Can Be Made in a Petri Recipe, Do We Require Cows?
However despite having the expanding center class' newly found love for American-style cheeseburgers and pizza, the Chinese don't just like milk and cheese and various other milk items that much. No, the milk is being industrialized to offer Russia, which is the second-largest milk importer in the world—after China. The Russian market has come to be significantly removed from food imports many thanks to both global permissions and self-imposed nationalistic bans—including one obstructing U. S. milk from getting in the country—in the wake from the dispute over Ukraine's freedom. The U. S. could generate one of the most cow's milk worldwide, and Germany could export one of the most cheese—a 3rd from the European Union's cheese exports are sent out to the opposite from what was once the Iron Curtain—but the Kremlin isn't as well thrilled regarding trading with either nation at this moment.
Rather, you've a strategy that, inning accordance with China Day-to-day, can be considereded as "agricultural geopolitics. " In Russia, 284, 000 acres will be dedicated to expanding feed to provide the $161 billion center, which will be backed by both Russian and Chinese capitalists.
So, Why Needs to You Treatment? Industrial-scale farming takes a toll on both animals and the atmosphere. Inning accordance with one research study from the Ecological Defense Firm, a milk with simply 2, 500 cows generates the comparable quantity from lose as a city from greater than 400, 000 people throughout a solitary year. In China, farming is currently a prominent resource from sprinkle contamination.
"Building a 100, 000-cow milk ranch is merely overwhelming, " Mansel Raymond from Copa-Cogeca, an EU ag team, informed China Day-to-day. "If the job goes on and the 100, 000 going stands for milking cows, this device alone can generate 800 million litres a year, " or regarding 200 million gallons. And, in addition to that, unknown quantities from agricultural lose.

Solar AdTek and Poweregion sign Channel Partner Agreement covering Middle East and Africa
Dubai – 5th November 2018. Solar AdTek, the leading Irish-owned developer and supplier of innovative solar powered and LED lighting systems for outdoor advertising has signed a partnership agreement with Dubai-based Poweregion, the energy solutions company of The GWB Group. Poweregion specialises in bringing the latest energy innovations and cutting edge technology solutions to its customers in the Middle East and Africa region.
The agreement was signed at the Irish Pavilion at the recent WETEX event in Dubai. WETEX is the water, energy, technology and environment exhibition promoted by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
The agreement will enable Poweregion to bring Solar AdTek technology and expertise in solar lighting systems to a wide market. Poweregion has a long history in the region with over 1,000 clients, and brings localised sales, installation and after sales service to its clients across a number of countries. Working with Solar AdTek, Poweregion will be now in a position to offer an extended and enhanced range of services to the market.
"We are delighted to be extending our international footprint to the Middle East and Africa. In Poweregion, we have found the optimum channel partner, whose business is clearly strategically aligned with ours," said Eoin O'Broin, CEO, Solar AdTek. "The agreement will enable us to bring our solar and energy-saving LED lighting technologies to a wide market and we are confident that it will be of significant mutual benefit to both of our companies."

A Google logo opinion
It did feel like a Google logo update was on the multi-coloured horizon – and as always the initial reaction is uncertainty. However, this is a grower. In comparison with the previous logo you realise it was needed – and their supporting argument is clear in the logo itself.
'These days, people interact with Google products across many different platforms, apps and devices…we're introducing a new logo and identity family that reflects this reality'
It certainly looks more 'app-like'. The Sans Serif font (or 'product sans' as they call it) is bold, clean but in need of a diet. And, the 'e' on an angle adds an essential pinch of Google personality. And the multi coloured 'G' icon is…ok. Like I said, it's a grower.
However, and this gripe is reasonable, the animation to support the logo is bad. Uninspired. Easy. Obvious. Old. In general their animations compromise the Google branding and look like an outside party has had too much input (I'm guessing this is usually the case). But this time the outside party isn't to blame. A hand rubs out the old logo and draws the new one back on. Really? Is this their way of saying, 'we're updating our logo to tie in with modern technological advances but we don't forget that writing ideas on a chalkboard is still useful'? Come on Google. You can do better.
It's nearly there but these supporting elements could do with more than a little refinement. Therefore I think it's only a matter of time before another update looms on the colourful horizon…

The Rapture and Dispensationalism - According to Scripture? - by Keith Petersen
There exists today considerable confusion regarding the Rapture, and lateral confusion regarding the believing Christian's place and status after death. Integrated into many discussions regarding the above subjects are questions as to Dispensationalism.
These subjects are simply understood if oneself adheres to what Scripture teaches. Much has been written on these subjects and much of it to great length; however, these subjects - which have certain links and commonality - can be clearly understood, and the following scriptures can help in this understanding.
When the Lord was on the Cross the thief on one side of Him became saved - "And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise."
This one scripture provides a series of answers in regard to the issues of the Rapture, the Christian's place after death and Dispensationalism.
First, we see that, upon the death of the Christian he/she goes to be with the Lord in "the Paradise of God" (Revelation 2:7). We have other scriptures that show that the believer's actual body remains here at that time - for example, Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:8 "absent from the body and present with the Lord". Nothing could be simpler.
As to the state of the Christian after death - they are "asleep". Paul writes extensively to the Corinthians as to this Christian state and Acts 7 shows Stephen stoned "praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And kneeling down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep." Some seem to think that there is some heightened awareness that belongs to the Christian in this state; however, "asleep" means "asleep" - they are most certainly not in some immobile yet awake/aware state. We have to allow scripture to act upon our minds and hearts under the lead of the Holy Spirit.
Some think that the believing Christian is in their body in the ground after death - awaiting a movement from God to subsequently bring them to Heaven, and there is, apparently, then much subsequent confusion as to the first resurrection vs. the 2nd, etc. However, as shown by the above scriptures, this notion could not be further from the truth. If "absent from the body", the believer is "present with the Lord."
The lateral but subsequent issue of the believer's body relative to their eternal state is seen in Paul's writings in the latter section of 1 Thessalonians 4. Here Paul is combating what was evidently erroneous concern as to resurrection of those already dead - "But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are fallen asleep, to the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who have no hope."
Paul shows that, when the Lord comes for His Church all believing Christians - both those already fallen asleep ("the dead in Christ") and those living - shall be together to meet Him in the clouds: " For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. (For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that we, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep; for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord."
The phrase translated "caught up" comes from the Latin "raptus" which means to "snatch away" or "catch up". This is translated in English as "rapture", and it is this wonderful event that is presented in "the word of the Lord" as being the moment in which the Church is raptured to meet Christ. We must notice that He is "in the air" - He is not spoken of as coming to earth. This sets aside other scriptures that are misconstrued in an attempt to show that the Church goes to Heaven only at some subsequent time when the Lord actually returns to the earth and/or that there is no such particular event as the Rapture.
The thief's death on the cross highlights several additional realties beyond - but, linked to - the fact that he would that day be present with the Lord in Paradise. The first is that, if he was to be present that day with the Lord there could be no conceivable attempt to suggest that no believers go to be with the Lord until some point in conjunction with the trials and tribulations of the seals of the book of The Revelation. There are notions that the Church only goes to be with the Lord after passing through the great Tribulation of Matthew 24 and Revelation 7; but, this is impossible as countless numbers of believing Christians having been going to be with the Lord in Paradise for centuries. Are they to be returned to the earth to fulfill a purported prophecy as to the Church undergoing tribulation, and then to be taken back to Heaven? The entire concept of the Church suffering through a great tribulation is unscriptural in the extreme.
It should be said that the reality of the Rapture does not set aside the fact that, as Christians, there are tribulations here in this "present evil world." Paul writes extensively as this reality; but, none of these difficulties and pressures are to be confused with "the Great Tribulation" - these are day-to-day pressures facing the Christian as they move against the current of a world as to which John defines its being as, "the whole world lies in the wicked one."
Another reality as to the thief's death on the cross is that he died in faith. Paul wrote to Timothy that he would "enjoin some not to teach other doctrines, nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith. The word translated dispensation here is taken from the Greek meaning a "religious economy - a dispensation".
We live today in 2017 as this article is being written in "God's dispensation which is in faith." The construction of the language by the Holy Spirit in this chapter in 1 Timothy 1 shows, most obviously, that this is a particular dispensation ("which is in faith") and that, of necessity, there are other dispensations. The Israelite of the Old Testament, for example, was in a dispensation of sight and earthly blessings - God is distinctly shown in the OT as a God of the Heavens while the Israelites are shown in an earthly setting (although, ultimately, heavenly overtones are shown by the prophets and psalmists); whereas, this present Christian dispensation highlights that, although yet here on earth, we are a Heavenly people ("Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus" and there are many other references).
All the scriptures listed above are simple and direct. Taking them up in simplicity under the hand of the Holy Spirit would obviate erroneous lines of natural reasoning such as evinced when Peter writes "which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures".
It is of great importance to understand that the Church involves God's highest thoughts in relation to His creation - see Ephesians 3. In that respect, the Church does not fit as such into the time prophecies of scripture - it fits into a parenthesis in time between the OT and the prophecies concerning Israel and the world as shown in prophets such as Daniel and The Revelation.

Hello and welcome to this week's round-up.
First up this week is the tragic end to a season we were all just getting into. We saw the introduction of a new attacking front in the shape of Santi, Giroud and Podolski and while there were teething problems, the team found its stride and finished the season on an impressive run of results, by any measure. In brief, we started the season in a very uptight and defence-focused fashion. It was working from a defensive point of view but the balance was wrong. Despite many good performances, our forwards were in at the deep end and struggling to find each other. In these tougher times, Theo Walcott can take a lot of credit for turning up with some vital goals. We climbed the table but were still off the pace with our rivals. It took the week of weeks to turn our season around and, despite only winning one of three huge games, it seemed to be the slap in the chops that the players needed. We lost to Bayern at home, we lost to them, and we went and beat Bayern in Munich. We were out of the Champions League but we took from it the confidence to believe. Sixteen unbeaten games later and we're dining at the top table for another season.
37 games in and we were just a point above the spuds and and two behind the chavs. We had to go to Newcastle and the game was as tense as any of the scoreless draws from early in the season. The passing and movement were restricted by fear of failure and creativity was the ultimate casualty. Mikel Arteta had started the game but didn't see out the first half due to injury. For a moment, if you forgot the crushing weight of history supporting the contrary, you might have thought that Champions League football would be beyond us. Thoughts like these, of course, will pass and be proven as nothing more than irrational nonsense. When Laurent Koscielny decides it's time to qualify, we qualify. Kos scored with an audacious volley which managed to make the keeper look a bit of a tit on his last day in the job. Then came a deluge of fuel for the fire that is Tottnum's never-ending embarrassment. Word went out across White Hart Lane that we had conceded and Michael Dawson was on his knees. Daniel Levy had tears in his eyes. These are moments to savour. You grandchildren will one day turn to you and say 'Tell us the one about the time Newcastle equalised on the last day'. As expected by most, all three contenders for the two qualification spots won their games. So, by a point, we have achieved the goal which may have once been the minimum requirement but became an apparently insurmountable task. The players who had been labelled as flops did what they could to directly answer their critics by celebrating in the tiniest of pants. This is not something of which we approve, over here at the Round-Up HQ. Certain staff members have spoken of feelings of inadequacy.
Several players have been speaking about their ambitions for next season. Olivier Giroud's desire to progress further in Europe, coupled with Theo's desire to push for domestic success, are just harmonies over a symphony of positivity and ambition coming out of the club. Even the most pessimistic fan can only find disgruntlement in which of the world's best strikers we may sign. Again, I don't like to speculate on baseless rumours but I couldn't resist this one. There is talk that this will be the first transfer in which we don't hear that Arsene Wenger is a "long-time-admirer" of Solomon Kalou. We haven't won a trophy since those lies were published this potential non-link should be seen as the clearest sign yet that Arsenal are ready to push for glory next season.
Arsene Wenger spoke this week about Santi Cazorla's season and was very clear in his views that he should have been selected in the Premier League team of the season. Wenger's innocence on the matter is, while endearing, extremely naive. If Santi was to be selected, then Mikel Arteta and other Arsenal players would also expect to be considered. Santi represents the thin end of the wedge. You let one in, before you know it, the Premier League XI are wearing red with white sleeves for convenience.
And finally, the enigmatic little genius that is Andrei Arshavin has bid farewell to the club. As a free agent, the Russian will be free sign for any club lucky enough to catch his eye. Not everybody liked Arshavin, but then not everybody likes The Beatles or Fruit Pastilles. Some players work hard while others work smart and Andrei spent the majority of his career in column B. From his four goal thriller in Anfield to his delicate cross to set up Thierry's goal against Leeds, Arshavin entertained and will always have a place in the hearts of many Arsenal fans. Good luck, little dude.
That's all for this week, thanks for reading.
Up the Arsenal!

At one point my upper eyelids were so droopy that they rested on my lashes. I found this distressing to say the least!
Before I knew what I know now I headed straight for YouTube to try and find some eye exercises. Which I performed religiously....to no avail. Nothing changed and I became convinced that facial exercises didn't work and were a right rip off!
My eyelids were so bad that I began Googling 'droopy eyelids' intending to research eye surgery. Fortunately I came across information regarding facial anatomy - how the muscles of the face are joined to bone or another muscle one end and to facial skin the other. This allows us to make facial expressions.
I learned that as we tone muscles, they become shorter - thus creating lift. Toned muscles are also denser - imagine a long, puffy marshmallow becoming a bouncy cheese string and you get the picture.
The penny dropped and I realised that exercising my eyelids was only part of the solution. I also had to exercise my forehead and scalp. As these muscles contracted, they would lift my eyelids.
And so they did!
It was quite a day when I put eyeshadow on my upper eyelids and could actually see it. I was absolutely thrilled:)
I am now certified to teach two facial exercise programmes which work all the 57 muscles of the face and neck. Working one or two muscles in isolation will not make you look younger. You have to work them all.
Fortunately, this only takes 15 minutes and is a hell of a lot cheaper than surgery.
Sign up for my newletter and receive some free facial exercises to get you started.
Lots of love

I am generally out of touch with social networks in my town – and with business affairs, cultural groups, and academic circles. I can be said to pretty much live in an intellectual bubble that is insulated from the rest of Western Australia. I have never been happier.
It is not that I do not welcome social interaction on a personal level – a conversation, a joke, a shared cup of vitriol. It livens up a day that might otherwise be given over to dragging a plough through flinty soil then falling exhausted into a ditch at nightfall. Retail trade was like that…
But being unaware of the world has the delightful advantage of rendering me neutral, by virtue of ignorance, in most of the deadly competitions and rivalries of the day. I can be in the company of people in my old trades – dentistry and retail photography – while they are frostily ignoring each other or cattily circling for commercial information…and I am unconcerned. If I occasionally ask one about the affairs of the other, casually revealing the extent of their spy network and causing alarm bells to go off in the mind of the listeners, it is all innocent. Perfectly innocent.
And then there are the firms that rep for other firms – the agency men. I'm old and I forget things and I cannot be held responsible if I blurt out secrets of the delivery date of a product to someone else in the mistaken belief that they are the firm handling the account. One lens can look very much like another when it is top secret and hush hush.
Likewise, I can hardly be expected to be up to date with all the staff hirings and firings unless someone tells me and generally they tell me only when a coroner's report is delivered or a trial date is set.
Of course, once I have been entrusted with a secret I am the soul of discretion. Wild horses could not drag the parlous financial situation of ———- from my lips. Who knows, they may trade out of it.
It always pays to play fair.

Liana Roux
tugs his short robe over his thighs.
It keeps riding up when he leans forward
in the rolling chair at his desk.
He thinks he feels eyes on him,
avoiding him at the same time
and wonders which he should want.
Filling cups is easier than herding
and everyone has been so kind to him.
A tall woman showed him how
to make coffee: the blinking eye
of the machine, the shining red foil,
filters the color and texture of wool.
When the phone rings,
he doesn't flinch. He gets used
to the bite of the wind, even
to feeling cold indoors,
to the way the light glares sharper here,
so high up, through long panes of glass.
And it feels so good to be chosen,
to move his new self in this new room,
the echoing stairways and halls.
He thinks he left half-willing
but you do not stay barefoot
on the hillside with the sheep.
You do not watch the sky for an eagle
and wonder what lucky child
is pressing his nose to feather and air.

Procurement, production and processing
Social audits of own imports through MGB Hong Kong
and non-food own brands of the METRO GROUP sales lines
as of closing date 30/9
Plants that have passed the audit can demonstrate their successful compliance
with the BSCI standard or an equivalent social standard system by presenting a
certificate awarded by an independent third party.
1 Adjustment of previous year's figures for social audits at plants relating to own imports
through MGB Hong Kong. In addition, plants in relate to non-food own brands of the
METRO GROUP sales lines.
In terms of procurement, production and processing, it is important for us to know which resources and raw materials are used to produce our products and under which social and environmental conditions our products are made. In managing these issues, we draw on our group-wide and cross-product purchasing policy "Sustainability". In this policy, we have laid down the fundamental requirements for sustainable supply chain and procurement management. At the same time, our purchasing policy forms the framework for various guidelines that address specific issues related to individual product and raw material categories. By developing and implementing such guidelines for sustainable purchasing, we are strengthening our procurement channels and help to improve the sustainability of our products.
To ensure socially acceptable working conditions within our procurement channels, we demand that our suppliers implement social standard systems. Our goal is that all of our producers in defined risk countries based on the assessment of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) in which MGB Hong Kong manufactures goods for import as well as our producers that manufacture their own labels or their own imports of clothing, shoes, toys or hardware for METRO GROUP's sales lines undergo audits conducted in accordance with BSCI or equivalent standards. As of 30 September 2015, 1,943 producers have been audited. Of that group, 93 per cent (1,808 producers) passed the audit. Producers who fail to pass the audit have 18 months following the audit date to provide proof of improvement. Should these improvements not be made, the production site will receive no more orders until it can demonstrate that it has sustainably improved its organisational processes.
Status of goal achievement
Status of measures
METRO GROUP expands its commitment to fair working conditions at its suppliers.
Inclusion of all non-food own-brand suppliers1 in a BSCI or equivalent social standard system if the final product is produced in a risk country (risk country based on BSCI definition).

The fact is that lower carbs fad diet plans usually are not effective for very long-phrase weight loss. Cutting back on all carbohydrates can help you lose weight at first and may even help you reach your weight loss aim, however the possibilities that you keep up with the weight loss are thin. Prohibitive diets are psychologically demanding. What occurs is at the first try you provide straight into carbohydrate desires you desire far more and strive to compensate for the time you deprived on your own of those. Additionally, research has revealed that the brain requires sugars for appropriate operating.
Real truth: Some weight loss supplements are risky in your overall health. Over-the-counter weight loss goods aren't completely examined or FDA approved. No matter if it's a drinking water pill, a extra fat blocker or possibly a metabolic rate booster, weight loss pills pose any adverse health danger and possess been proven to result in sickness and in many cases death. Even weight loss pills which can be authorized by the Food and drug administration are dangerous. Goods are frequently pulled from shelving following analysis demonstrate unhealthy unwanted effects. Weightloss pills can help you lose weight quickly; they do not give lasting weight loss. Weight Loss Belief #3: The top 10 fad diets are structured the latest technology and knowledge for weight loss, leading them to be suitable to shed weight speedy.
Fact: Numerous top rated 10 fad diets are only ineffective weight loss items. They are rip-offs to trick individuals into creating the investment. They can be found only to generate income away from unsuspecting obese men and women. A top-notch 10 gimmick diet plan could be based upon a percentage of research recently which enables sensation coming from a dieter's perspective; nevertheless they seldom provide the overall picture. Just because a magazine has become published on the particular weight loss subject matter is not going to ensure it is the ideal weight loss program.
Reality: Reduced-excess fat decimator system review actually slow-moving your metabolism, so that it is more challenging to lose weight and look after your weight loss. Low-extra fat diet plans also leave you feeling hungry and deprived. The body requires some healthful fatty acids for standard operating. Extra fat can also help you sense whole much longer. Converting to fat-cost-free and low-body fat products on your own will not help you reach your weight loss targets. These beliefs bring up the queries of why people are encouraged to purchase weight loss products which don't function. Firms that promote top 10 fad diets and run weight loss frauds are simply taking advantage of a billion dollars-dollar business. Obviously, these businesses don't want obese customers to know the truth about healthy, easy programs that work well.

Frontend Single Point of Failure At this year's Velocity Europe conference, I watched a great talk by Google's Patrick Meenan about 3rd party scripts and frontend Single Point of Failure (SPOF). A single point of failure is a part of a system that, if it fails, will stop the entire system from working. Quite often, you may add 3rd party scripts such as jQuery, social sharing buttons or Ad tracking scripts to your website with the best intentions, but depending on the way that these scripts are loaded you could potentially create a frontend single point of failure that can block the entire site! If these 3rd party scripts are not implemented and deployed properly they pose a significant risk for the websites that host them. Finding and tracking frontend SPOFs on your website is not always easy, but fortunately there are tools available that will help you detect them.

3 Things to Keep in Mind Immediately After Your Joint Replacement Surgery
Over the last 20 years of successfully rehabilitating people after their Joint Replacement Surgeries we have learned quite a bit about what it takes to get things right.
Here are 3 Things to keep in mind right after your Joint Replacement Surgery:
1. START MOVING ASAP. The best results we have had are with people who have started their Joint Replacement Surgery Rehab 3-5 days after surgery; this especially applies for hip and knee replacements. Early rehab reduces the odds of your joint getting stiff due to either swelling or build-up of scar tissue. Of course, check with your surgeon prior to surgery to see if it is a good idea to schedule ahead your first Outpatient Physical Therapy appointment 3-5 after your date of surgery. Most surgeons will likely be happy see you get into an effective Joint Replacement Surgery Rehab program ASAP.
2. ONE BIG RISK WITH ANY OPERATION IS THE RISK OF INFECTION. Making sure the incision is clean and covered (most of the time) during the first 1-2 weeks after your surgery can reduce the odds of an infection. The main signs of an infection include:
- Red streaks down the site of the incision (especially for Total Knee/Hip Replacements)
- Foul smelling drainage from the incision site

If it is a Knee Replacement surgery, then use ice packs in front of AND behind the knee. Also, it helps to have your limb elevated while icing it. Ice Machines can also work really well in the first 2 weeks after Joint Replacement Surgery to keep the swelling under control. Check with your doctor to see if your insurance will cover one, if not then ask around to see if someone is willing to lend you their machine.
Medical technology is progressing at an incredible rate. Today, joint replacements are performed at numerous joints including knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and more.

What then?
Its 5 am. Rarely, will I comment on current issues here. I generally like to stay out of the fray and quote someone dead. However, my silence is short lived on matters of injustice. In Iraq, children are being killed, starved, and worse. When I first heard about ISIS, I had just pulled my head out of all the books I was reading for my senior capstone. I was surprised at the silence of our government and military. Isn't Iraq the nation where we have meddled since Operation Desert Storm? Yes. Okay. Just checking. So there is a freaking crazy terrorist group that is ransacking Iraq and we are…. Pulling out?
I've spent a lot of time studying wars. A LOT. I've spent a lot of time studying genocides. A LOT. Yet, I was not prepared to think that in our post-holocaust world, leaders of various countries would not be interested in stopping this insanity. I had hoped that man had seen the dangers, had studied the warning signs, and even dared to hope that man would not want another world war. My hopes were dashed and I stand reproached.
What then, shall we do? Shall we go on ignoring the situation so that evil may increase? By no means! Our sense of justice should smart, our sense of equality should be defiled, above all our sense of protecting the little man, protecting those who cannot speak should be shouting so loudly that it demands to be heard. I am so thankful to live in the land of the free. Yet, I am not so comfortable that my soul is not in anguish. I do not mean sharing news stories on facebook, urging people to pray, and then shooting up a little feel good prayer. I mean the kind of anguish that leaves you in a fog. You grope about life wondering what is going on. Feeling completely incapable of doing anything to help anyone.
I read this morning about a group of people trapped on a mountain. They are surrounded by enemies. They are without water and food. The world stops to help…. Nope…. It keeps spinning. And then, I read Isaiah.
"Behold, the Lord's hand is not so short that it cannot save; nor his ear so dull that it cannot hear." (59:1)
"Therefore, justice is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us; we hope for light, but behold, darkness, for brightness, but we walk in gloom." (59:9)
"Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the streets, and the upright cannot enter. Yes, truth is lacking; and he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the Lord saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice. And he saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no one to intercede; Then his own arm brought salvation to Him, and His righteousness upheld Him." (59:14-16)
"Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, That the mountains might quake at Your presence- As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil- to make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence! When You did awesome things which we did not expect, You came down, the mountain quaked at your presence. From the days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him." (64:1-3)
I don't have answers. I don't know what to do. I only know this. During these times, when the darkness of evil spreads across the earth, there is a light. This light once shone among the darkness and we knew it not. This light is the hearts of all who carry the flame. He is the hope of humanity. Therefore, my friends, let us tear down the gates of hell with earth shattering prayer. Let us look to men like Rees Howells for guidance. Let us stand on their shoulders and demand justice on earth. After all, if the Kingdom of God is at hand, then we have a distinct responsibility to act like it. What does that mean? In the Kingdom, orphans find homes, evil is dispelled, love-the kind of love that will die to protect those who need it- abounds. Here, people do not die of starvation. Here, children are cherished, not beheaded. Here, evil faces Light and cowers in its consequences. Let us not grow weary in our prayers. Let the Father teach us how to battle against the powers of the air. Remember, hell hath no fury like a beloved scorned. The Beloved is scorned. The kingdom is now.

Hill City wide receiver Mekhai Bates delivered a crushing block on an opposing defender that sent his helmet flying at least five yards.
The block was definitely illegal as it was a blind-side hit but there was no penalty on the play. Take a look at the monstrous block here (via MaxWire):

In reality, it began with WIN, obviously; only I was around 4 years too late.
It started in April, 2017, when my girlfriend suggested watching WIN together. I was just getting into K-pop, so it was necessary for me to know more about the industry for the sake of context. I learned about YG Ent. and eventually landed on the first aired monthly evaluation of Team B.
I remember seeing Donghyuk getting his confidence stripped out of him and thinking: How could any of them possibly endure it? How can they love something so much to the point of willingly going through this?
Near the end of the month while at the airport (it was a 13 hour flight, long story), Rhythm Ta gets stuck in my head, quite out of nowhere, since I wasn't really into iKON yet, to the point I downloaded the song on Spotify, risking what little battery time I had left and downloading it through the slow as fuck airport Wi-Fi.
It all snowballed from there. I already respected and admired them to some degree after watching their first two survivals, so all that was left to do was look up interviews and extra content.
I got to listen to them as artists, as trainees, speaking, with complete honesty and modesty, about what they loved and wanted above anything else. I had already seen Chanwoo join Mix & Match, knowing it would be a deathmatch, in which long-time friends and brothers were pitted against each other, and he'd have to survive through that, Hongseok, and Jinhyeong, too.
Moving on, New Kids: Begin was released on May 22nd. Maybe a week before that I posted a thoughtless tweet, a plea to whoever was listening: Where is my iKON comeback?!
Days after that, a teaser was posted then deleted and everything was a mess. But soon enough, New Kids: Begin is released. We get a Weekly Idol episode for the first time, then a photobook; later we even got the School Idol Trip and a bunch of other stuff.
So I fell in love deep, hard and unforgiving in the best of ways.
Everybody has their own story and history and journey with iKON or with Team B. I wish I could've been there from the beginning, but the important part is that I got to meet them and love them and I don't plan on ever letting them go, no matter what. I know I'm not alone in this.
iKON only have iKONICS, and I'll have iKON for as long as they'll have me.

For technical professionals, such as engineers and project managers, getting a report or recommendations accepted often means getting the customer's head around fairly complex concepts and problems that the professional understands a lot better than the customer does. Despite this, it is often difficult to convince technical professionals that they shouldn't be peppering their technical reports with dense and impenetrable jargon that nobody really understands but them.
Last night, I had the pleasure of presenting a webinar to a group of 120 young engineers on the topic of Customer Focused Writing. It's always great working with groups of young professionals who are open to new ideas.
Getting people to actually adopt and integrate new techniques - as opposed to just seeing and hearing them presented — is one of the great challenges of a teacher, and particularly one who only gets to interact with trainees once and for a couple of hours, as was the case for me last night. Often the best that you can hope for is that people understand enough about the need to change that they are compelled to review and practice the techniques they have been shown, and to build upon the limited exercises that they get to do in a short training session.
One of the techniques we looked at in the webinar was how to present complex technical concepts. To illustrate the idea that densely packed technical language is hard to understand, I had the group analyse a piece of medical writing that was unfamiliar to them. This piece only contained 150 words, but most people could identify more than 20 unfamiliar terms. That's almost 15% of the document that the audience had absolutely no hope of understanding.
At the end of the webinar, I was encouraged by comment that came from Paul, who said "You know, I write reports all the time, and I usually just present my recommendations. I never really think about just how much work needs to go into making them persuasive." I'm pretty confident that Paul does now, and that his career will benefit enormously as a result.

I'm always wary of fighters like J Stars Victory Vs if for no other reason than mashing a bunch up characters from various franchises only seems to work well for Super Smash Bros. Shonen Jump games have something of a mixed track record. Ganbarion-developed Jump Ultimate Stars is widely considered to be an excellent fighter, whereas Eighting's Battle Stadium: DON was absolutely terrible. Fortunately, Victory Vs is an absolute blast.
The Characters
This is a no-brainer, really. If you like anime, you've probably watched at least one of the 23 series represented in Victory Vs. There's just something great about Goku, Naruto and Monkey D. Luffy fighting the likes of Ichigo, Killua and Yusuke Urameshi. Moreover, each character feels the way they should, with all their trademark techniques. There's no greater fan service than allowing players to pit their favorite characters against one another in a dream match.
Destructible Environments
This is a big one. If you've watched most any Shonen anime series, you'll know that inevitably some fight will involve buildings, mountains, or some other structure being reduced to rubble. Spike Chunsoft made sure there's plenty to destroy in Victory Vs. Fighting against Toguro of Yu-Yu Hakusho fame as Goku left the battlefield completely wrecked, with craters dotting its surface from volleys of Ki blasts, Kamehamehas and even the Super Genki Dama that was used to take out Buu. It's incredibly satisfying to survey the damage you do afterward, I hope more games employ mechanics like this.
The Soundtrack
Your mileage may vary here. J-Stars comes in two editions: Standard and Anison Sound Special. The only difference between the two is the soundtrack. The Anison Sound Special Edition comes loaded with tracks from each series, meaning you'll be delivering beatdowns to the same tracks you've heard for years. Since I already know many of those tracks (and I didn't want to pay the insane $140 asking price importers are charging) I grabbed the regular edition, which has surprisingly competent tracks that sound reasonably similar to their anime counterparts.
Show Me Your Moves
Just as with the series its emulating, Victory Vs features insane, over the top super moves. To pull one off, your team has to win a tug of war of sorts with the other team, by moving the power gauge at the top-middle of the screen completely to their side. Once you do this, you can push R3 to do some crazy technique, or in the case of some characters, transform, as with Naruto's Kyuubi mode.
Let's Go On An Adventure
J-Stars eschews your standard story mode in favor of what they're calling J-Adventure Mode. There are four routes in this mode, which have you playing as Luffy, Naruto, Ichigo or Toriko. After selecting your character, you'll end up sailing the seas, One Piece style. You'll grab quests, fight enemy ships and follow your character's progression through the J Battle Festival. You'll also earn ship upgrades that'll take you above the water, and eventually into space. It's a fun mode, but your ship moves slowly and the map feels somewhat bland, but it ultimately works as a vehicle for random fights.
Unlocking Characters
Unlocking characters in fighting games is still alive and well, regardless of what others tell you. Fortunately, J-Stars dulls the pain of having to unlock your whole roster (you'll start with only Goku, Naruto, Ichigo and Luffy unlocked) by making all characters purchasable for 2,500 points. You'll get more than enough to unlock all characters after a few hours in either adventure or victory road modes.
Slowdown Is Still a Thing in 2014
A steady frame rate is key for any game, and fighters are no exception. Sadly, Victory Vs' frame rate can get somewhat sloppy, especially when fighting up close. Several times during fights, I'd be hiding behind a building and an opponent would crash through the building with a flashy attack causing the game to slow down as though it hadn't expected such a thing could happen. It's really jarring to have that happen in an otherwise fast-paced fight.
Table For Two
Fighting in Victory Vs allows for up to eight characters on screen at once, three fighters and two support characters. Despite this, the game itself only supports two player local multiplayer. This comes as a huge disappointment. With as fun as J-Stars is to play, it could be a serious contender for my fighting game party fix. Four players here would have been a greatly welcome improvment.
J-Stars Victory Vs is a fan-service game that doubles as an addictive, fun fighter. It's so fun, in fact, you'll have no problem looking past its lack of four player multiplayer and occasional slowdown. It's rare that a game combines this many varied characters—many of whom have starred in games of their own— successfully, and makes them feel as though they all belong.
With how many characters from popular franchises are packed in, I wouldn't expect J-Stars to make the trip across the pacific. Go ahead and import this game. The PS3 and Vita are both region-free making this just that much sweeter. If you've ever wondered if Luffy could beat Naruto, or Ichigo could take down Kenshin, this is the game for you.

In this workshop, Artist Jean Shin will help participants to create dynamic sculptures that also function as stackable, vertical gardens for distribution of Chinese Medicinal plants. Creating new value out of leftover plastic waste, the project reclaims these unwanted containers and turns them into small habitats for living plants ready for redistribution and growth in the community. The green mobile sculpture takes inspiration from the lush mountains of China depicted in traditional Chinese landscape paintings.
Workshop participants will learn how to transform plastic bottles into self-watering planters to house locally sourced mugwort. Presently considered a weed to get rid of, mugwort has been used for centuries as a traditional medicine. As a part of the workshop, participants will hear from an expert in traditional medicines about the history and use of mugwort in Chinese culture.
This workshop is part of Take Root, a larger project by Jean Shin to transform the congested urban setting of Chinatown into a place of healing and wellness. the exchange of living medicinal plants and its healing properties will tap into the informal systems already in place based on health and resilience, while also being able to share this knowledge of Chinese Medicinal plants with the community at large.
Registration is full for this event.

This tea is best enjoyed like the chai from the streets of Mumbai: strong, with copious amounts of milk and sugar.

We visited Apple (http://apple.com), a global company that designs and produces premium hardware and software technologies. Apple's main headquarters is the Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA, but we were at a satellite campus, also in Cupertino.
Apple has over 100,000 employees worldwide who work in many different teams, even among the engineers. We visited Senior Vision Engineer Paul Johnson, an '08 Wes alum who majored in Mathematics and Biology with a Bioengineering certificate before receiving a PhD in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley.
Paul explained that his degree in Bioengineering was especially concentrated in the study of optics. At Apple, he was able to translate his educational background into work with the visuals of user interaction, specifically with the True Tone feature on the newer iPhone models, which modified the warmness of the screen based on the lighting in the user's environment. He felt that his bioengineering background was helpful in the engineering process, even though he had not necessarily envisioned working at Apple during most of his years of study.
Paul had worked at Apple for a few years, but felt that even at such a large company, he was able to contribute valuably to technology he believed in. While he kept mum about projects that were in the works, he shared that he was excited about the work that he did there.
