Small World
My interlibrary loan prayer for Susan Hill's first Simon Serrallier mystery has been answered. I picked up The Various Haunts of Men today at the South Hill Library (no relation) and I'm having a really hard time leaving it alone while I do some necessary chores.
I heard about Susan Hill from my pal dovegreyreader, who talks about SH in her blog and has made me eager to get my hands on some of the Serralier novels. I thought about buying the books from England but the site where they are offered says nothing about the US and I fear the cost of postage would be prohibitive. (I know, I could buy them secondhand, but I try to make a good faith effort to buy new books before resorting to a transaction from which the author earns nothing.)
dovegreyreader sent me to Susan Hill's blog, which I read pretty regularly these days. I wonder how the woman has time both to blog well and write good books. She must sleep 2 hours a night.
This book is singing to me. Unassuming black cloth cover, no dust jacket, gold print on the spine, ILL sheet wrapped around it warning me to get it back to the library by the 29th of September OR ELSE. The book came to me all the way from the library at The College of William and Mary in Virginia. Small world.

In residence October 1 - October 5, 2018
Eric Deines, 36, was born into that slim slice of time that future scholars will decidedly pronounce The Sunset of Generation X or The Dawn of Millennials. The simple truth is that he was born into a no-man's land — culturally, geographically, and even within his own genealogy. It is fitting, then, that his absurdist art attempts in no discernible way to reconcile the paradoxes of living in the material world at this Particular Moment as someone who was born at A Particular Time. By day, in his work as Director of A&R at global record label Jagjaguwar, Deines helps artists achieve their unique visions. By night, he cooks up his own. His rather large works on paper are influenced by Petier Bruegel the Elder (whom Deines considers one of the funniest painters in history) as much as they are Adventure Time, by Horace Pippin as much as Disney's 1929 skeleton dance short, 'Silly Symphony.' Pencil scratches pile up into odd textures that depict sometimes-caustic, sometimes-daffy scenes — often featuring a cast of reoccurring characters like ogling, anthropomorphic tombstones; homunculi in tall red dunce hats; and the screaming horse from Picasso's Guernica (who is most-likely a stand-in for Deines' biological father). At Air Serenbe in early October, Deines will be at work on six big works on paper for a Charlotte, NC exhibition at Good Year Arts Gallery titled A Posthumous Performance.

Going to say this as straight-forward as I possibly can, and as humbly combined.
I've. Had. Enough.
Truth be told, It's alittle upsetting knowing that half the community is upset with me because of their lack of understanding on my irl issues- but I'll get over it. I hope it would be likewise with the lot of you aswell in the light of this announcement. I'm not going to go into details as of whats going on, but I can atleast supply you guys with "hope" again.
Today makes the 20th of the month, expect some new updates, teasers and that new discord I promised some time this week if not today.
With DBS coming to it's last few weeks of excitement, I figure It would be a perfect time to regenerate the hype once lost in it's light. I had to go back and watch alooot of episodes including fillers from Dragonball-DBZ to now, and I'm still not really finished but with what I've collected I've designed the game in a TRUE format of DB-realism.
For example; In most DB-based games you all notice how Ki/Energy basically are the same thing. Well, in this game I've decided to split the two, although one is basically a hidden stat. Energy is more-or-so the "Willpower" of your stamina as Ki will remain the same. Energy is basically the back-end to your character, serving as backup from your original ki incase of its depleting. Notice how in the current tournament, we see our Z fighters tire out remarkably, ceasing most of their ki-capable abilities. But, some how they're still kept on they're feet and can still bounce about and use un-related ki-based techniques. This is a natural feat that fighters across Dragonball-franchise has and is the reason why I've decided to implement the same idea. This means now it takes alittle bit more for players to kill or so called 'defeat' one another.
Energy - Health & Ki must all equal zero in order for someone or something to be considered dead.
That, and many more spices added to work in the favor of that new system.
I'll be releasing a Patch Note on whats been updated so far and whats to come in the mean time, still no expected release date but this time I can assure I'll have Era "completed" first."
Feb 20 2018, 8:02 am (Edited on Feb 20 2018, 9:21 am)
Not sure if you remember me but I've been keeping a close eye on this and other projects over the last year or so.
BYOND is full of failed start ups for one reason or another and people do get tired of seeing this happen- but I can gladly say I am happy this hasn't died out and joined that realm.
You're a respected member of the community atleast in my eyes; never let those who wish to slow you down have any impact on your life, friend. Enjoy your life and don't burn out pleasing others.
All the best, hope to hear more exciting updates as I and many others are looking forward to playing.

Much obliged. I too am a fan of my own game so it sadden'd me to admit in losing motivation in it- but, given the recent events and drama surrounding my leave, and ontop of that new excitement in the DBS series- figured I spark things back up.
None the least, glad to know you'll be waiting <3.

[Photos] 1960s Saigon: Fruit Vendors, Honda Cubs and Bò Bía Galore
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 14 February 2017 16:51
- Written by Saigoneer.
It's as true today as it was in the 1960s: to experience Saigon life, head to the streets.
In this collection of old photos, shutterbug Rick Parker took a special interest in the daily lives of Saigon's residents. From a family of four squished together on a red Honda Cub to cheery ladies selling cut fruit on the street, Saigon in the late 60s – rendered in the distinctive under-saturation of film – appears as an idyllic paradise in these snapshots.
Take a stroll down Saigon's streets circa 1966-1967 through the photos below:

If you're sexually active, you're at risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Getting screened is easy and can prevent health complications for you and your sexual partners.
Why You Should Get Tested
If there's a possibility you may have an STI, it's important to get tested. Don't wait for obvious symptoms to appear. Chlamydia, for example, has few recognisable symptoms, especially in women. You can be infected and not know.
Those most at risk of infection are young people who've had several partners and men who have sex with other men.
You can reduce the risk of infection by always using a condom, but not all STIs are just passed on by penetrative vaginal or anal intercourse. Some can be picked up through oral sex too, while genital herpes, HPV and even sometimes infections such as Gonorrhoea can be transferred by intimate contact.
Where To Get Tested
See your GP or make an appointment at a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic.
To find a GUM clinic, call the Department of Health's Sexual Health Helpline on 0800 567 123, or use the FPA's GUM clinic search.
There are also special rapid testing clinics. Some services are aimed specifically at younger people, such as Brook.
All these services are confidential. You'll be asked your name, address and GP's name, but you don't have to give your real name and you can ask them not to contact your GP.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs, affecting up to one in ten sexually active young people, and usually goes untreated.
Causes of Chlamydia - Chlamydia is usually passed from one person to another during vaginal, oral or anal sex, or by sharing sex toys. It can live inside cells of the cervix, urethra, rectum and sometimes in the throat and eyes. Chlamydia can also be passed from a pregnant woman to her baby.
Symptoms of Chlamydia - Chlamydia is often referred to as the "silent infection", as most men and women don't have any obvious signs or symptoms, or they're so mild they go unnoticed.
Symptoms can appear one to three weeks after you've come into contact with Chlamydia, or many months later, or not until the infection spreads to other parts of your body.
Women may notice:
- unusual vaginal discharge
- bleeding between periods or during or after sex
- pain with sex or when passing urine
- lower abdominal pain
Men may notice:
- white/cloudy, watery discharge from the tip of the penis
- pain when passing urine or painful testicles
If the infection is in the eye or rectum, you may experience discomfort, pain or discharge. Chlamydia in the throat is uncommon and usually has no symptoms.
Advice And Support
Go to your GP, a GUM clinic or a sexual health clinic. All services are confidential. You can also ask a pharmacist. You can also call the NHS Sexual Health Helpline on 0800 567 123.
- FPA - The sexual health charity: www.fpa.org.uk
- Sexwise: Confidential advice line 0800 282 930 (7am-midnight)
How To Avoid STIs
- Use condoms every time you have vaginal or anal sex
- If you have oral sex, use a dam
- Ensure you take regular STI tests before and after sexual activity with a new partner

Plus-size model Iskra Lawrence thanks paparazzi for sharing unedited photos: 'I don't believe anyone needs retouching'
Plus-size model Iskra Lawrence had the perfect response to body shamers who criticised unedited paparazzi photos of her.
Regarded as a beacon of body positivity, British model Iskra Lawrence frequently speaks out about her journey to self-love - from encouraging us to love our muffin tops to attempting to erase 'body blame' from our vocabulary.
It should come as no surprise then that, when faced with a slew of derogatory comments over untouched paparazzi pictures, that she responded in the most perfect way.
While recording a segment for swimwear and lingerie brand Aerie's new EveryBODY campaign, which promotes happiness and mental wellbeing rather than weight loss, the model was snapped by photographers.
Consequently, images of her posing in a white swimsuit and denim shorts appeared online only to be met with a slew of nasty comments.
"For someone who wants to promote a happy and healthy body image she certainly doesn't look like this on her Instagram," one person wrote underneath the Daily Mail article.
While another added, "She looks a lot different to all her other pictures. Pretty average if I'm honest. The wonders of photo shop strikes again."
Taking to Instagram, the Worcester-born beauty shared a photograph of herself during the shoot– which has since been like more than 160,000 times - where she said she's finally learned to lover her body after years of insecurities.
"Grateful I don't hate my legs anymore grateful I see their strength and appreciate my bodies capabilities," she wrote.
Lawrence also took the opportunity to thank paparazzi for publishing images of her that aren't retouched – something the plus-size model has become well-known for.
"Also I realise I'm highly privileged but damn I love seeing pap pics that aren't retouched and some of those (lightning bolts) and (tiger stripes)" she added, referring to her stretch marks.

Apple Watch column published in Conde Nast Traveller
Conde Nast Traveller recently commissioned a column from me about how the Apple Watch may benefit travellers, as well as a wider look at potential use cases for the new technology.
You can read the full article on Conde Nast Traveller. An excerpt is below.
With the launch of Apple's first watch, Nate Lanxon muses on the possibilities for travellers now that wearable tech feels like it has finally arrived
It's a warm August evening in Barcelona as you step out of your hotel lobby onto the busy street beyond. Your wrist vibrates, you turn right and begin a ten-minute walk to that evening's choice of restaurant. You approach a junction; your wrist vibrates slightly differently, and so this time you take a left. Three more minutes, another vibration signals you to turn right. After a few hundred feet you're staring at the door of your chosen restaurant.
You slide your jacket sleeve up and the map on your Apple Watch, synced to the iPhone in your pocket, closes - it has completed its task. You've been guided using GPS and never once revealed to opportunistic onlookers that you had any doubts over your route that evening - or any valuable device navigating you.
This is one scenario Apple has predicted will become the norm. The Apple Watch - or "iWatch" to the rest of us - tells the time, but its usefulness as a timepiece is perhaps amongst the least of its uses. More useful to travellers, its integrated near-field communication sensor (NFC) can double as a contactless key to unlock hotel room doors once hotel chains sign up with Apple to support this feature. One group, Starwood Hotels, which operates 1,200 properties including W Hotels, St. Regis, Westin, Sheraton and more, has already jumped on board. That's the first nail in the hotel keycard's coffin already hammered.

Shopping seems so ridiculously simple at home: You go somewhere that sells things you want, you find the things you want, you pay for them, and you return home, ideally overjoyed with your new possessions. Travelers only wish the process were so simple abroad.
When traveling the world, shopping is hardly as easy as going to the mall and handing the cashier a crisp $20 bill. There are dozens of considerations travelers must make in order to ensure they obtain items they need at prices they can afford.
However, the confusion and difficulty associated with shopping overseas shouldn't prevent any traveler, new or experienced, from finding and buying the items they want and need. Here's a useful guide to learning how to shop while traveling away from home.
Finding Stores
Usually, the traveler's first shopping dilemma is finding worthwhile shopping centers. With connections to the Internet ever-present in regular life, most people have become overly reliant on the Web to provide suggestions and directions to nearby stores. While some tourists might find Wi-Fi and 4G in major urban centers in developed nations overseas, most world travelers are not able to pull up Yelp and locate a reasonable market.
The most reliable solution is asking those nearby for help. Travelers who are staying at a hotel or hostel can ask the staff to point in the direction of stores that sell any desired goods. Travelers can also ask for recommendations from their peers; fellow travelers might have excellent insight if you are looking for souvenirs. Meanwhile, locals usually know where to find the best deals. As a last resort, travelers can consult guidebooks of the region, though often books only provide suggestions for tourist-saturated markets — if their suggestions are not out-of-date and obsolete.
Assessing Need
At home, shoppers are restrained only by their credit limits and their car's size, but travelers must always consider size, weight, fragility, perishability, and more before they buy. No matter how much a traveler wants that ornate Turkish rug, it probably won't fit in his bags — no matter how much rolling and stuffing he does. Whether the trip is two days or two months, a traveler is tasked with lugging any overseas purchases to and fro until she returns home. Thus, it is essential to evaluate items' levels of necessity before acquiring anything.
Struggling With Payment
For something so seemingly straightforward at home, cash in other countries will always be complicated. Converting dollars into euro, yen, kronor, pesos, or anything else is a convoluted process that requires intricate algorithms. Exchange rates shift every day — and very from location to location — meaning it matters when travelers take trips and where they trade money.
The safest way to pay for items abroad is inarguably with credit cards. Credit relies on interbank currency exchange rates, which are almost always the best rates available. Plus, credit cards come with built-in limits and protections, which means if travelers lose their cards, the damage is minimal. Plus, travelers can apply for airline benefits cards that will earn them miles with every purchase, making future excursions even easier.
Unfortunately, not all overseas vendors accept credit cards; even some stores in bustling, developed cities refuse foreign cards for security reasons. Thus, carrying some foreign cash is necessary. Still, travelers can gain access to the same low interbank exchange rate by using debit or ATM cards to draw local currency from machines. There are even banks that offer global cards that do not incur fees for drawing money outside of dedicated regions or ATMs. Then, travelers can refill their wallets with necessary cash and coin whenever they are running low at the markets.
Generally, it is unnecessary and unwise to carry around large amounts of cash. Not only does this make a traveler a prime target for pickpockets (or worse criminals) but it makes it harder to revert back to the traveler's home currency once the trip is finished. Therefore, travelers should try to pay with plastic as frequently as possible.
Feeling Awesome
The first time doing anything feels awkward and uncomfortable — riding a bike, driving a car, flying unaccompanied — and every traveler experiences a period of unease associated with making purchases in a foreign land. Fortunately, the more time a traveler spends overseas, the easier every interaction becomes. With practice, any traveler can become adept at discovering markets (with and without help), knowing exactly how much weight and space is available in his pack, and navigating the complexities of foreign currencies.

Stefan Juchem is an economy and accountancy student from Germany who recently visited London with the Internship Programme, an Erasmus+ funded venture that enables European students to gain work experience abroad. He wrote an article for his blog about how to be money savvy in London and we have had the pleasure of republishing it here. You can also read a German version on his website.
London is one of the most beautiful cities on earth. But it is also one of the most expensive ones. If you are planning a trip to London, be prepared and read my guide to how to handle your cash.
1. Cash
The national currency of the United Kingdom is the Great British Pound (GPD). I advise you to exchange a bit of money at your local bank in your own country, where you will pay less fees. If you want additional cash in London you should check if your local bank is a member of the Global ATM Alliance. If it is, you won't have to pay any fees using an ATM tied to a bank that is a member of that alliance. For example, since I am with Deutsche Bank I was able to take out money from every Barclays ATM without paying an additional fee. Another point to remember is that you shouldn't take too much cash with you when you are going out. Remember that London is a huge city, meaning that your purse will most likely be gone forever if you were to lose it.
2. Public transport
The London tube is the oldest underground network in the world. You are probably already familiar with the red circle of the underground sign as well as the world famous double-decker buses. Even if you are not visiting London for the purpose of work experience like I was, you are going to have to figure out how to get from A to B.
The best known option for travelling in London is the Oyster card, where you can choose from top up payment or purchasing a Travelcard. The Oyster card is a contactless payment card on which you are charged for travelling through the city. But be aware of the difference between the Visitor Oyster and the regular one. Normally a Travelcard will be charged on your Oyster card whereas it is not possible to do so with a Visitor Oyster card.
The question left is: Which option is the best for you? This depends on your situation. An Oyster card is a smartcard used on all London public transport. You put an amount of money on your Oyster and then you have to touch in and out of every station via a card reader by the gates and it will calculate the journey for you. Even if the gates are already open it is important to touch out, otherwise you will be charged a fee.
A Travelcard is a flat rate ticket. For example if you buy a seven day Travelcard for Zone one to four, you are able to travel however much you want within these zones for £47.30. You just have to touch in and out, like I explained before.
However, if you travel with a topped up Oyster card, the fee will be capped if you happen to exceed the cost of a Travelcard. This is a good option in case you are unsure of how much you will travel.
To figure out which option is the most suitable for you, take your intentions and plans into account. For example, I had to travel from the home of my host family to my workplace, Monday to Friday. Both were located in zone four, although I had to go through zone two and three to get there, as well as to zone five, where ADC College is located. In the end, I opted for a Travelcard between zone two to five, which is £32.80 per week.
Have a look at the Transport for London website for more information.
3. Attractions
You might have heard of the London Eye, a giant Ferris wheel at the river Thames, or the platform on the top of the Shard, the largest building in western Europe.
But there are also attractions with less or even free entry if you don't want to spend the extra cash.
Ever heard of the Sky Garden? It is on top of a building called the Walkie Talkie and is a part of the London skyline. There is no entry fee for visiting the Sky Garden. It is located on the highest floor of the building, where you can find a luxury restaurant with a terrace and two bars. I was there twice and both times a live band was playing music. If you want to know why it is referred to as the Sky Garden take a look at the pictures...
Are you fond of museums? Then you will appreciate London. A lot of the museums are free and will only charge for specific exhibitions. Check out British Museum, the National Gallery and the Imperial War Museum to name a few.
Another way to avoid high prices is to explore London by foot. Just walk around the city centre and marvel at Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace or Big Ben. If you are interested in finance or simply a fan of skyscrapers, you should go on a journey to Canary Wharf - the new financial district of London.
4. Don't underestimate the weather!
When I visited London, it was pretty hot back in Germany and I didn't bring a coat or jacket. So on my first day at work it was very stormy and rainy and I had to walk all the way to the underground station in just a suit. Let's just say I got pretty wet. So, in the evening, I went to Oxford Street to buy a new coat. I advise everyone to try and avoid this experience and be prepared for fast-changing weather.
London is a very lovely city that at times seems endless. I recommend it to everyone who loves the feeling of a big city. If you have the chance to do work experience here through your school and in cooperation with the ADC College, use it! I will remember my experience for the rest of my life.
Have you ever been in London? Please write a comment about your experience and impressions of this city!

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My mother is in Main Street Terrace. It is extremely clean, probably the cleanest place like this that I've been in. There is never any odor, which is a problem in so many similar places. The food is of good quality, and the people seem very friendly and very caring. They have a lot of extracurricular things, like little parties, taking them out for excursions, and getting them to their doctors' appointments.
August 27, 2012
I visited this facility
Overall I give it a three because the facility was kind of dirty. You could tell around the area where the floor meets the walls. It was caked with dirt and other stuff. The staff was friendly, but yelled at the patients too much in my opinion. I visited roughly 15 to 20 times and every time I walked into the place someone was yelling at a patient. It just seemed unprofessional in my opinion. The food was average from what I could tell. The part that I was impressed with was the care. My uncle never got one bed sore or anything else when he was there. I have had other relatives in nursing homes and it is important they get rolled or turned regularly. I was impressed with the way the nurses and the aids checked on my uncle and other patients regularly. It is not something I have seen occur often in other nursing homes.

Mizumi's elegant facade is already a landmark on Northern Boulevard in Little Neck, N.Y. (Filipino Reporter photos)
Since it opened in December 2010, Mizumi Sushi and Seafood Buffet Restaurant on Northern Boulevard in Little Neck has become a consistent crowd drawer (and pleaser).
Noted Asian-Americans, including New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate John Liu, have dined here, according to general manager Kenneth Chiang.
And they all keep coming back, he proudly added.
Many of the regulars are Filipinos, who would return with their families and friends.
"Word of mouth...it helps a lot," said the U.S.-educated Chiang, son of Mizumi owners Edward and Marianne Chiang.
"Our guests are very satisfied and they want their loved ones to also experience Mizumi."
Mizumi, which means lake in Japanese, specializes in freshest seafood like sashimi, oysters, crabs and fish like mackerel.
It's also famous for its wide array of artistically presented sushi that taste heavenly.
It also boasts a sumptuous selection of meat and poultry dishes like teriyaki, short ribs, hot wings, plus a selection of entrees for the veggies and health conscious.
The dessert is likewise impressive with a heavenly selection of cakes and pastries, fruits and a refreshing taro frozen yogurt.
"Freshness, taste and presentation...those are the keys," Chiang pointed out.
"Always think of the people's satisfaction."
Another secret of Mizumi is it's world-class executive chef Jeffrey Moon, who previously worked for the famous Manhattan restaurant Tao.
Chiang also took note of Mizumi's efficient and friendly staff, and which customers always appreciate.
Mizumi is like a multi-cultural experience, offering Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese style dishes.
"But it's basically Japanese," Chiang said of Mizumi, also noted for its Japanese interiors with subdued elegance, and which he helped design being an architecture graduate of Pratt Institute.
Mizumi can accommodate up to 250 people, with a party room for private gatherings.
But with its growing number of customers Chiang said plans to expand are underway, which could be implemented anytime next year.
Mizumi, which has an ample parking space, is located at 231-10 Northern Boulevard, Little Neck, NY 11362.
For schedule and rates, call 718.229.8686 or go online at mizuminy.com
Food is beautifully arranged and presented at Mizumi.
Mizumi's sushi is simply to die for.
The delicious crab legs are among Mizumi's popular offerings.
