Paranormal, Oneshot Collection
She Got Off the Bus at the Peninsula: Mitsuko Kunizaki has inherited a small grocery store from her grandmother. Being a single mother to a little boy, she intends to close it down and move on with life. However, in the solitary store that sits next to the last bus stop at the tip of a peninsula lie some long-buried memories that slowly reemerge as Mitsuko arrives at what used to be her home—memories of a lonesome childhood and of people who came to the peninsula to end their lives.
The Labyrinth Cat: Residents who have just moved in are always lost in this complex apartment. However, there is one little feline that will help them get back to their apartment house.

|bizarre, four-panel stories
|Palepoli goes beyond the framework of standard four-panel manga and views its structure in new ways. Actually, Furuya knew nothing of conventional manga styles and methods when he started Palepoli. As a result, he created something that bore little similarity to other manga. Furuya notes that he selects his subject matter and methods with clear and precise intentions. I find it extremely rare for a manga artist to be this deliberate.
A portion of Palepoli was featured in Secret Comics Japan.
|Drama, Romance
|(From In the Water):Hanako suffers from a terrible disease. After awakening from a deep slumber, Hanako has only three days to live. During those three days, her husband, Takao, must endure a heart-breaking experience, knowing that the person Hanako really loves isn't him.

Last night was the Golden Globes on NBC. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked some butt and nailed this gig. It was such a joy to see 2 women share the stage without trying to one up the other. Women SUPPORTING women. Strange concept lately??
We as women need to boost each other up, especially us Moms. Sometimes the everyday life can get us down, but we have to focus on the fact that we are not alone. We have to be "real".Read More

But I just has someone come up to my door, and tell me if Wing doesn't stop complaining/talking about what happened last week, the person he has complained about will sue. That said person has gotten a lawyer and is drafting a cease and desist. Smart move to not email the threat to me, just threaten face to face.
I told him last week to just let it go. That what's done is done. I've said my piece, and I'm done. And for some reason the person who dropped by seems to think I control Wing? It's not like he's wearing a shock collar, or other device to make him behave. They might have better luck going to his mom and telling her to tell him to behave.
But threatening to sue me, and then him?
Barratry: the offense committed by people who are "overly officious in instigating or encouraging prosecution of groundless litigation" or who bring "repeated or persistent acts of litigation" for the purposes of profit or harassment. It is a crime in some jurisdictions.
When said person left, I sent a panicky message to Wing. He called me back almost immediately.
Like I really need something else to be keeping me awake at night.

In the second article written by Jessica Duchen I noticed a bit of satire when describing the Last Night of the Proms that took place two years ago. The speaker, Marin Alsop, was the first woman to conduct the concert. She was surrounded by pink balloons and a banner which exclaimed 'It's A Girl!'. The idea intended to make a statement to the audience. As if we should be so astonished by a female conductor that we must recognize it with balloons and frivolous decoration? Should they pat themselves on the back for being the first to recognize the talents and accomplishments of women?
One thing I noticed about men and women who had successful music careers was that they were given this opportunity through wealth. High status and affluence allowed men and few women to have leisure time. Without the obligation of a full time job and labor in the fields, people of upper classes focused more on recreation. However, a wealthy woman was still a woman, which lowered her chances of pursuing a music career. Even the women who did make it as composers--(women are capable?)-- could only attribute their success to their father or male patron. Women born into musical families were lucky enough. This begs the question: Did any independent women publish their work or become famous without such support? Not that we've heard.
The role of a woman as a performer in and outside of the home was surprising to me. They served the purpose of entertainment for guests and were taught to read and play instruments only as a polite accompaniment. It is evident that this role emerges in areas other than music. Women are not able to take charge or give orders to men. In the home the woman serves the man and holds no position of power or authority such as conductor or director.
The arguments behind 'sex shouldn't sell' are valid and persuasive. I agree, talent should sell both women and men. But what if we allow sex to sell? Maybe attractive women speak for all women in the field. Maybe men grow accustomed to seeing women on stage and they become more widely accepted as musicians and composers. Maybe women achieve success indirectly.

Try this to get more out of the blog this week by reviewing these elements we practiced together on Sunday.
Choosing to Be Present to the Presence of God. The very nature of God is life and love. Restoring, renewing, resurrecting – all these words reflect what God is up to in the world today. Shalom – a holistic wellness, wholeness of peace in ourselves and in the world – has always been the True North that is God and guides God's followers. Joining God in this venture is a choice. A choice to be present to the Presence of God which constantly encourages us forward to greater expressions of grace, love, and life. This means you have a choice every day to be open or not to God. What is your choice today?
This Weeks Focal Text | Genesis 21:8-21 (NLT):
When Isaac grew up and was about to be weaned, Abraham prepared a huge feast to celebrate the occasion. But Sarah saw Ishmael—the son of Abraham and her Egyptian servant Hagar—making fun of her son, Isaac. So she turned to Abraham and demanded, "Get rid of that slave woman and her son. He is not going to share the inheritance with my son, Isaac. I won't have it!"
This upset Abraham very much because Ishmael was his son. But God told Abraham, "Do not be upset over the boy and your servant. Do whatever Sarah tells you, for Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted. But I will also make a nation of the descendants of Hagar's son because he is your son, too."
So Abraham got up early the next morning, prepared food and a container of water, and strapped them on Hagar's shoulders. Then he sent her away with their son, and she wandered aimlessly in the wilderness of Beersheba.
When the water was gone, she put the boy in the shade of a bush. Then she went and sat down by herself about a hundred yards away. "I don't want to watch the boy die," she said, as she burst into tears.
But God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, "Hagar, what's wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Go to him and comfort him, for I will make a great nation from his descendants."
Then God opened Hagar's eyes, and she saw a well full of water. She quickly filled her water container and gave the boy a drink.
And God was with the boy as he grew up in the wilderness. He became a skillful archer, and he settled in the wilderness of Paran. His mother arranged for him to marry a woman from the land of Egypt.
Being Honest with Ourselves and God. What is your heart crying out about today? Take some time and meditate on this question. Don't hold back – you are not going to offend God with sloppy communication in the pursuit of honesty. Sometimes expletives are highly appropriate in prayer. Let 'er rip. God is mature and graceful enough to hear you out.
Getting your thoughts out. What are your initial reactions to the text we're going to look at more deeply today? What questions do you have? What is surprising? What is upsetting? On another note, who is our world holds power? Who in our world dwell on the lower rungs of the ladder of power?
The Teaching and Response. As you read the summarized teaching below, keep the following questions running in the back of your mind. What's your take home from this teaching? What seems to be sticking with you as you reflect on this week's teaching? Why do you think that is? Could God be using this to invite you in some way toward greater shalom personally and/or in community? What choices are you making to stretch toward the resurrection God is calling you toward?
The story of Hagar and Ishmael leaving Abraham's camp is better understood in the bigger story in which it sits. Before Hagar was Abraham's wife and mother of his first son, she was Sara's servant/slave. Her marriage was not born out of love, but was thrust upon her as a mean to bear a child for Abraham. Perhaps this was not uncommon in the ancient world – that does not make it right or good. She got pregnant. Now she was empowered, and apparently she knew it given the report of Sara about her gloating. Is it reasonable to think that Hagar had attitude toward Sara? Of course. She was human, and victimized at that. But Sara was still Queen of Abraham's castle, and sent her packing.
Hagar had the baby, and the baby was named Ishmael, which translates "God hears." After some period of time, Sara finally got pregnant in her old age as predicted. When Isaac ("laughter") was born, Sara became concerned about his fate: how would he be treated by Hagar, by Ishmael, by Abraham? Her concern may have led to paranoia: were Abraham and Ishmael making fun of little Isaac? Was that merely a taste of what was to come? So she pulled rank, pushing Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away. When Abraham sent them away, he didn't send them with much, which was awful on his part. Gaining her freedom may seem like a gift at first glance, but in that culture at that time it very likely meant that as a free woman no longer married to Abraham, her son Ishmael was no longer considered his heir. In one awful moment, she went from being enslaved yet safe, to free and extremely vulnerable. Was Sara's reaction harsh? Was Abraham's stinginess appalling? Yes. Inexcusably so. They were human beings, it seems, which means they were messy, imperfect, screw ups. Yet still key characters in an unfolding story God was trying to craft with willing participants. As one commentator noted, "God works with individuals on the scene; God does not perfect people before deciding to work through them." And so the story continued.
Pushed into the wilderness with little in the way of provisions, Hagar and Ishmael suffer. In her grief, Hagar is confident that she will die. At her lowest, she distances herself from Ishmael so she doesn't have to see him die, at which point she experiences God speaking to her from heaven:
"Hagar, what's wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Go to him and comfort him, for I will make a great nation from his descendants."
Then God opened Hagar's eyes, and she saw a well full of water. She quickly filled her water container and gave the boy a drink.
And God was with the boy as he grew up in the wilderness. He became a skillful archer, and he settled in the wilderness of Paran. His mother arranged for him to marry a woman from the land of Egypt. – Genesis 21:17-21 (NLT)
This is a beautiful and instructive and surprisingly broad picture of God being shared in this Jewish-oriented text that in general doesn't have much respect for Ishmael's line. God doesn't hasten Hagar and Ishmael's death – God instead opens Hagar's eyes to what she needs to survive, and encourages her with a promise for their future. Do you realize what a big deal this is? Sit with it until you do. This brief passage says much about the breadth of God's grace for all people regardless of the awful treatment they receive from those who feel especially empowered or chosen by God (Sara and Abraham). God is bigger and more beautiful. The nature of God, the Spirit of God is life, restoration, renewal, hope, resurrection. This story is a story of hope for all the Hagars and Ishmaels of the world. Biblical scholar Phyllis Trible speaks eloquently about Hagar's becoming many things to many people (see chap. 16):
"Most especially, all sorts of rejected women find their stories in her. She is the faithful maid exploited, the black woman used by the male and abused by the female of the ruling class, the surrogate mother, the resident alien without legal recourse, the other woman, the runaway youth, the religious fleeing from affliction, the pregnant young woman alone, the expelled wife, the divorced mother with child, the shopping bag lady carrying bread and water, the homeless woman, the indigent relying upon handouts from the power structures, the welfare mother, and the self-effacing female whose own identity shrinks in service to others."
Hagar was blind to the water very near her. God showed up to help her see. If you are a Hagar or Ishmael and feel wronged by life, the systems you were born into, etc., the Spirit of God is with you to help you see that you are valued and loved, and that there is hope. You are not as alone or hopeless as you think. Cry out to God with all you've got, and then be still and listen for God to speak in various ways words of hope and provision.
Biblical scholar Leander Keck notes that
"the text does affirm that God chooses the line of Isaac, not that of Ishmael. This is a strong claim, and it occasions a sharper question for Isaac's descendants than if the treatment had been more "even-handed." What one does with the Ishmaels of this world in the face of the claims for Isaac comes front and center. Abraham was chosen so that all families might be blessed through him. This means that the children of Abraham who are also the children of Isaac are so to comport themselves that blessing rather than curse comes upon the nations." – New Interpreter's Bible
We who are more like the Sarahs and Abrahams of the world (and we likely don't know that we are) need to pay attention to this story, because they absolutely blew it. They were harsh to say the least, and probably felt justified because they were the chosen ones. Thank God that their harshness was not reflective of God. Whether we justify our malicious behavior with nationalism or religion or both, we must choose to be conscious of how God treats the worlds Hagars and Ishmaels decide if we are going to be the people of God or not. One way is harsh. The other is graceful. Which way are you going to choose? Who are you going to be?
Getting your reactions out. What's your take home from this experience today?
A Prayer of Hope: Loving God, you are father and mother of us all. You love us as only a caring parent can, with a love that challenges all the difficulties around us and embraces us in arms that never let us go. As you have cared for outcasts like Hagar and Ishmael, so can we know that you will always love us. When we want to use family and friends as an excuse not to serve you, help us remember that loving others is a key way to love you; yet we must not see people as an excuse to avoid the difficulties of life that you sometimes set before us. Help us to love family and friends unconditionally, and thus to love you unconditionally, never placing one above another. And as we love others, help us to appreciate how much we are loved by you, our Creator God. Amen.

Centre approved awarding rights for 31 small discovered oil and gas fields in its first auction in six years, entrusting most of these to new entrants as it seeks to boost local production.
Centre approved awarding rights for 31 small discovered oil and gas fields in its first auction in six years, entrusting most of these to new entrants as it seeks to boost local production. Sun Petrochemicals Pvt., a privately owned company formed by the directors of drugmaker Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., and engineering company Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Ltd. were among 15 new entrants out of 22 companies that have received rights to develop the fields, according to a government statement. Established players, including Hindustan Exploration Co. and state-run Oil India Ltd., also won some fields.
Development of these small oil and gas fields is crucial for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to reduce oil imports by as much as 10 percent by 2022. The awarded blocks will boost India's oil output by as much as 15,000 barrels of oil per day and gas production by 2 million standard cubic meters a day, according to the oil regulator Directorate General of Hydrocarbons. "These fields hold potential for lot of investments in India over the next decade," Atanu Chakraborty, the head of DGH, said in a phone interview on Wednesday. "It will open new avenues for jobs and create entrepreneurs."
You may also like to watch:
The 46 areas that went under the hammer were discovered by Oil and Natural Gas Corp. and state-run Oil India Ltd. with estimated in-place oil and gas reserves of about 625 million barrels. They weren't developed as the explorers focused on bigger fields. Larger established companies like Reliance Industries Ltd. and ONGC stayed away from the auctions.
The government had received 134 bids from as many as 42 companies in the auction round that closed Nov. 21, after rules were relaxed allowing pricing freedom for oil and gas and uniform policy for all kinds of hydrocarbons.
Since the fields are small and presence of oil or gas is already established, production can be started quicker than other larger fields the country plans to auction later this year. The estimated revenue from these blocks is seen as much as 464 billion rupees ($7 billion), according to the DGH.
India's $2-trillion economy imports more than 80 percent of its crude requirement and a heavy reliance on imports risks its status as the fastest-expanding major economy in the world. The International Energy Agency expects the country to be the fastest-growing crude consumer in the world through 2040.

I have had this teeny tiny feather sitting in my house for probably close to a month now. I found it outside one day and thought how fun it would be to play with it for some macro photos! Well that day is today, I finally got around to taking some shots of it. It was tricky to get exactly what I was going for, since it is super tiny I couldn't zoom in quite close enough to capture the very fine details. I hope I find a bigger feather some time, because I'd like to continue to play with it as a macro subject! SO many little details in those feathers! Anyways, these are the shots I got today while playing.

I was the events intern for the Brookings Institution, a leading think tank in the heart of Washington, D.C. I worked full-time (40+ hours a week) helping to plan panels and lectures at Brookings. Some favorite speakers of mine were Madeleine Albright, Susan Glasser and Glenn Thrush. I also pitched to the Brookings Blog.
Read my blog post below.
The force behind the Forces: New survey data on American military families
My Role
Because of Brookings policy, interns are not allowed to be named as authors for blog posts, even if they wrote a post in its entirety. They are instead listed as "contributors" at the end of the page. In my case, I reported and wrote this blog post. It was lightly edited by Amanda Waldron, and therefore, is under her name.

Being the Person God Created
My Dearest God,
I pray that You would pour out Your Spirit upon Mark this day and anoit him for all that You've called him to
be and do. Lord, You have said, "Let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called" (1 Corinthians 7:24).
May it be for this child according to Your Word, that he may embrace all You have called him to be and do.
May the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness
and self-control grow in Mark daily (Galatians 5:22). May Mark find his identity in You, view himself as Your instrument and
know that he is complete in You. Give Mark a vision for his life when setting goals for the future and a sense of purpose
about what You've called him to do.
Help Mark to see himself as You do -- from his future and not from his past. May Mark be convinced that Your
thoughts toward him are thoughts of peace and bless him him with a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Teach Mark to look
to You as his hope for the future.
May Mark understand it is You "who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began" (2 Timothy 1:9). May Mark's
commitment to being who You created him to be enable him to grow daily in confidence and Holy Spirit boldness.
Please also send the Holy Spirit to help me Michele Glance Rooney and to help Mark's father that we might be patient,
kind, good, loving, joyful, faith-filled, gentle, self-controlled parents -- truly exhibiting all of the gifts of the Holy
"The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death." (Proverbs 14:27)

Maga 7341N - Sunglasses Gold Black Swirl
Maga 7341N
Sunglasses Gold Black Swirl
Although not a brand you will see in the shops today, in the early 1980s, Maga, the Italian designer, created a boutique range of very successful sunglasses for the hip hop generation that were as likely to be seen in the clubs as on the beach.
Bold rectangular shapes with interesting details on the brows and hinges, these glasses have real personality and a retro look that's masculine - but also great for girls who like substantial sunglasses to protect them from the sun and the pap.
This frame, which is part metallic and part acetate, offers an unusual-shaped lens with a black printed rim border and open bridge. Part of the Italian Graffiti range, this style very definitely makes a statement.

Many people with hepatitis C don't know their infection status and haven't been treated.
Nearly 71 million people around the world are infected with hepatitis C but access to effective medicines remains elusive and, as a result, only a fraction were able to obtain treatment, according to a new report from the World Health Organization.
Globally, the number of people who initiated treatment rose between 2015 and 2016, from approximately 1 million people to 1.5 million people. And so, the WHO issued a rallying cry to find ways to provide medicines to the tens of millions of people who are going untreated.
