- Latest Broome Chinatown Revitalisation construction project commences.
- The $706,500 Roebuck Bay Lookout will create a scenic viewing platform linking the iconic Roebuck Bay with Chinatown.
- Collaborative design celebrates rich Aboriginal history and culture of significant site.
Onsite construction has begun on the Roebuck Bay Lookout on the corner of Dampier Terrace and Fredrick Street.
Funded by the State Government, Shire of Broome and Tourism WA, the $706,500 lookout will be a major contributor to activating the Frederick Street and Dampier Terrace connection by providing a shaded resting and tourism point for visitors with sweeping views over iconic Roebuck Bay.
In planning for several years, the Lookout has been widely publicised and undergone stakeholder consultation throughout the planning and design process.Yawuru Native Title Holders assisted the project team through these processes, and a Section 18 Heritage Clearance from the State Government has been received providing the appropriate land access approvals.
Works at the Lookout will be contained within the Shire Road Reserve area. Yawuru Cultural Monitors will be onsite to assist with careful management of the land throughout the project's construction period.
Broome Shire President Harold Traceysaid onsite construction would last about three months, starting in June with earthworks to create the lookout elevation and the offsite fabrication of the steel structure. Soon after the installation of the fabricated steel components including laser cut artwork panels will occur.
Temporary traffic management measures will be in place during some periods of construction due to large machinery required at the site. Local construction group Roadline Civil, appointed earlier this year to construct the lookout, will work with the project team to ensure any interruptions are minimal with little or no impact on surrounding premises. Appropriate notifications of any planned interruptions will be circulated in due course.
In acknowledging the Aboriginal significance of the location, Yawuru Traditional Owners have also worked with Broome Senior High School students in the development of artwork and cultural information panels incorporated into the Lookout's structure and signage.
Distinctly designed interpretative panels will be a fascinating key feature, casting breathtaking shadows that move with the sun across the structure, and complement the surrounding natural elements.
The Lookout is envisaged as a new point of interest on the award-winning Jetty to Jetty self-guided heritage walk which provides a rich visual history with unique personal accounts from those living in Broome during the height of the pearling trade.

About the Chinatown Revitalisation Project
On Wednesday 8 June 2016, the State Government announced the investment of $10M to undertake detailed feasibility studies and to deliver transformational projects, reinforcing Chinatown as the cultural, historical and commercial centre of Broome.
The Shire of Broome has committed $2M to the project with Tourism WA committing a further $700K which brings the total project budget to $12.7M.
The projects identified to be key drivers in the revitalisation of Chinatown were mostly drawn from the Shire's 2013 Chinatown Development Strategy, developed following extensive community consultation.
Funds will be spent on projects that improve the aesthetics, comfort and functionality of Chinatown as a place to socialise and do business. Some funding has also been set aside to investigate the feasibility of more significant projects that will strengthen Chinatown over the longer term.
Implementation of the projects and oversight of the feasibility studies is being undertaken jointly by the Shire of Broome, Kimberley Development Commission and LandCorp. A Community and Stakeholder Reference Group has been established by the Shire and consultation with the wider community and key stakeholders will continue throughout the process.

Ein gutes Abendessen in einer quirligen Athmosphäre
21 December 2017
from Basel
The Atelier restaurant offers modern world cuisine based on regional products. All dishes are carefully made in house and procured from personally known suppliers. The wines are selected to accompany the food and the restaurant additionally offers an extensive wine list with over 400 varieties in stock. The name Atelier is derived from the French word for workshop. The establishment discreetly incorporates the concept of an 'atelier' in its interior furnishings, and guests have the possibility to put their own artistic skills to the test on a large canvas. The restaurant also operates the system of the "Menu workshop". For a fixed price, guests can create their own menu from anything on the main menu and combine all the dishes in any way they wish. Menus with main courses as starters are therefore perfectly possible. The menu is also supplemented with dishes and drinks that are written on chalkboards. The restaurant is a lively and straightforward place.

Wir haben im Garten reserviert, alles war gedeckt aber wir mussten im Restaurant essen. Das Menu hat sich seit längerer Zeit nicht geändert, immer die gleichen Speisen. Ich hatte Mühe, etwas zu finden, da ich weder Schweinefleisch noch Peperoni esse. Servicepersonal war jedoch aufmerksam und hilfsbereit.

From David Whyte's Questions That Have No Right To Go Away –
What can I be wholehearted about?
So many of us aren't sure what we're meant to do. We wonder if we're simply doing what others are doing because we feel we don't have enough ideas or even enough strength of our own . . .
What do I care most about—in my vocation, in my family life, in my heart and mind? This is a conversation that we all must have with ourselves at every stage of our lives, a conversation that we so often don't want to have. We will get to it, we say, when the kids are grown, when there is enough money in the bank, when we are retired, perhaps when we are dead; it will be easier then. But we need to ask it now: What can I be wholehearted about now?

The sledgehammer of truth shatters the illusion conjured up by the serpent as the blow of a hammer shatters glass. All truth? No. Just the subset of truth that reveals the sourness of godlessness.
The sourness of godlessness is an engine that pushes us to its exit.
The sourness of godlessness proves that the serpent was a liar and that God was telling the truth.

Horatio G. Spafford to Thomas Jefferson, 6 April 1815
From Horatio G. Spafford
Albany, 4 Mo. 6, 1815.
Respected Friend—
The work of Dr. Williams, of which I spoke, is a Second edition of that which thou hast seen, published in 1809, at Burlington Vt., in 2 8vo volumes, containing about 1000 pages. Much of it is written anew, & the additions are extensive & valuable. I know the Doctor would be highly gratified to have it read & applauded by thee. He prides himself on his Republican Sentiments, particularly in the 2d vol. of this edition.
Gen. S. Van Rensselaer, the proprietor of the Manor of Rensselaer Wyck,1 has a Chaise nearly finished, on my plan. The proportions as I propose. It will be in motion next week, when I shall close my Letter with an account of its success. Except to myself, the sight will be novel in Albany, & hundreds are curious & waiting to try it. I know that in overcoming a 6 inch obstacle, with a load of 500 pounds, at a standing draught, the wheel of 7 feet will effect an advantage, equal to 96 pounds, when compared with the wheel of 4 feet 8 inches: & I also know that on the crooked axle, the same power, that is, 250 pounds, carries the same load, with the same results, also at a standing draught. But, giving the impulse of motion, by permitting the wheels to roll a short distance before they meet the obstacle, there is also a gain in the cranked, over the straight axle, which is very considerable. I let the power fall over a pulley, in the above experiments. To carry the wheels of 4 feet 8 inches over the same obstacle, with the same load, I have to increase the power, (or weight over the pulley,) by the addition of 96 pounds to the power. The small wheels that I used, are a trifle short of 4 feet 8 inches diameter.
When the load & power are thus tried, first on the small, & then on the large wheels; first with straight & then with cranked axles; standing, & then in motion, when they meet the obstacle, I have a most complete series of experiments for demonstration: And such were the facts, on which my reasoning was founded.
When the wheels, loaded upon the straight axle, meet the obstacle, it is by a sudden stroke, which deadens the impulse; &, if they mount it, they do so by a joult as sudden;—when, on the contrary, the load is on the cranked axle, & the wheels meet the obstacle, the Shock is less violent, & the impulse acts with greater power, by a kind of eslastic effort: Nor is the joult near so great, in passing over.
The above experiments show that there is no loss of power, in employing the cranked axle, in order to reduce the height of the load, & the line of draught, raised too high by employing large wheels. And if this occasions no loss, it must effect a great gain;—by enabling me to employ large wheels, & by bringing the load nearer to the point of contact, the actual centre of motion: as well as by equalizing the draught, & the motion of the load. Every inequality of motion, increases the friction, & that in a greater degree than seems to have been considered.
Stages, which employ Jacks, (as they are called here by the Coach-Makers,) on which to fasten the leathers on which the body rests, have their loads from 2 to 3 feet above the centre of the wheels; & these of course are but low. The consequence of which is, a great disadvantage in the application of the power of the horses, and a loss of the power of at least one in five when passing over rough or uneven roads, by the increased friction occasioned by the position of the load. These Stages so frequently upset, that travelling in them excites general terror. At least 20 lives have been lost in this way, within the United States, during the last year. Were these vehicles constructed with wheels of 6 & 7 feet diameter, & their axles cranked to the ordinary or best line of draught for the horses, there would be little danger of upsetting, & I am confident the 4th or 5th horse might be spared from the team. A Stage proprietor here, proposes to make trial of my method. If my reasoning is correct, & my inferences fair, from numerous experiments, this subject well merits the attention of the Post-Master General. That Officer ought to, & probably would, consider the saving of lives deserving his2 attention; & he is the proper organ to foster such an improvement, as important to considerations of political economy. And if travelling in3 Stages were considered less tedious & tiresome, & more safe & free from danger, the travelling by them4 would increase, & the government would be enabled to make contracts for carrying the mails on better terms. I hope this subject may engage the attention of the intelligent Gentleman who conducts the concerns of the Post Office Department. Were he to encourage a fair trial on Some principal route, I am fully persuaded he would essentially contribute to the public interest. Between Washington & Baltimore, I found the roads excedingly bad; & there would be a good place to try improved Stages. Or, between this City & Schenectady;—if he would encourage the Contractors to try it, I would give the Right, & superintend the construction of a Carriage. The only objection to my construction, would be, that the Carriage would not turn on so little ground. Stages are made to go forward, & turning short, is but a little part of the object for which they are employed. A mason I once employed, objected to connecting the brick-work of my chimney back, in the fire place, by laying some of the bricks transversely, because of the difficulty of detaching the back end, when the back should need repairs: & when I persisted, proposed to use, for that purpose, Soft bricks!
4 Mo. 12, 1815.
The Chaise has been now, 3 days in motion, hundreds have been to examine it—& many have rode in it. I rode with the owner a few miles, today, on muddy & dry, rough & smooth, level & uneven roads, & the motion, & apparent ease to the horse fully satisfied us that the principles are correctly [. . .] in my pamphlet. We have no hesitation, nor do I believe any one has who has tried it, in believing that it effects a saving of full one quarter. The ease and uniformity of its motion, are truly astonishing. It sinks far less into the mud, raises less on the wheel, & throws very little. When the road would admit of it, we drove very fast, & immediately after passing through deep & soft mud: the top was turned back, & we concluded it did not throw So much mud as an ordinary wheel. The timber should be good for the Spokes, & they should preserve their width, pretty fully, down to the felloes. I wish some person in Virginia would try it immediately: & if any person would try it in a Stage, I would willingly give the Right. In deep roads, it will make a Saving of near one half. To a Stage Proprietor in Va who first tries it in a Stage, I will give Rights to the amount of the expense of altering his vehicle to this plan. I conclude, by renewed assurances of my esteem & respect.With offering an apology, for so long a Letter,

Pollock executive chair
Pollock executive chair
The epitome of midcentury sophistication, Charles Pollock's Executive Chair (1963) is scaled for comfort, able to inspire big ideas in an intuitively ergonomic seat. Pollock, who worked in George Nelson's office after graduating from the Pratt Institute, was recognized by Florence Knoll for his unique talent. His Executive Chair is considered one of Knoll's most recognizable designs, distinguished by an aluminum rim that supports the seat and back both visually and structurally

You can't wield a certain level of material power while you have empathy. So there are ways to shed it, and it's conducive to sort of bleed it out of populations to facilitate the grand hustles. Empathy is key to who we really are, who we forgot we were. A lack of empathy is essential for acceleration into the upper echelons which indeed seem to be under the jurisdiction of forces with no empathy at all.
Thus all the horror and corruption that seems impossible or worthy of ridicule to people who can't feel it's reality goes on and is shrugged off even even noticed. Meanwhile the same baffles and crushes those of us who have resisted anesthesia. It gets worse and worse even as it is unveiled because the people perpetrating it have become harmonized to the dull hum of their own control machinery and don't know how to switch it off. They are slaves of another kind. We imagine them as masters but maybe they're really much closer to fevered, spent addicts who must go into darker areas and do more unspeakable things just to keep the damned thing in motion.
Because they have traded in humanity for power, they have only power. So if the connection for power demands Hell on Earth, Hell they will construct and maintain. But the thing is, empathy is the glue of what is eternal beneath the material veneer of life and nothing holds without it. No empire, no dynasty, no secret beitherhood or cult lasts forever, however ancient or entrenched.
Resist, subvert, dismantle, but do not become a demon to fight the Devil. Hang on, and keep your heart about you. The game is getting good.

introducing... Car Seat Headrest
Need some new music to end your week? Don't worry, we've got this... Car Seat Headrest is the project of Seattle-based Will Toledo. Toledo has earned himself a name and following in the underground scene after his self-released 11 albums have hit more than 25,000 downloads on Bandcamp. The project was set up in Toledo's home town of Leesburg, Virginia and when recording vocals he needed a place of solitude so set up in the family car at just 17 years old. Since then, Car Seat Headrest has been producing intimate songs touching on themes of youth and death, love and depression and drunken parites. Teens of Style is Toledo's latest album since relocating to the Seattle suburbs and the first release to be recorded with a full band. It's a record from a project that is breaking out of the constricting label of lo-fi with fuzzy guitars and Julian Casablancas stlye vocals.
Check out Car Seat Headrest's video for Something Soon from Teens of Style, coming out via Matador Records.

Allred Farms T-Shirt
What's a brand new clothing company without cool t-shirts? These are 100% organic and made in the USA. Soft to the touch, and a very durable piece of clothing you can wear with pride.
WHITE - A classic t-shirt for the purist within us all. The back reads "A farm-to-body experience."
SOFT BLACK - Your original personality and style will be a perfect match for our original logo on the front of this amazing t-shirt. The back reads "Blue-collar consciousness expressed from non-GMO cotton."
Super comfortable, standard-fit T made in the USA from pesticide-free, sustainably-grown organic cotton.
Cut for a woman's curves. Our non-GMO 100% organic cotton t-shirt features a slightly slimmer cut, shorter length, and shorter sleeves when compared to our standard organic t-shirt.
About the Allred Farms logo...
We came up with the idea for our logo back in 2014. Wanting to capture the century-old rich heritage of our family farm along with our modern/crazy ideas, we continue to sow seeds of fertility within the earth and people's minds and hearts. Without seeds, life is impossible. Without new ideas, life becomes stagnant. Both seeds and ideas require hard work in order for them to reach their potential. And both require ample sunshine and rain. It is with our logo, company, clothing, and farm that we desire to walk our true path of self-empowerment and innovative inspiration.

Movie 5/100: Blade Runner/
Blade Runner
Directed by: Ridley Scott | Starring: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young | 1982
Guys, we are behind the times.
Apparently we once thought the LA of 2019 might have artificial intelligence nearly indistinguishable from humans, not to mention a rainier climate, flying cars, and off-world colonies. But if that's going to be the case, we have a lot of catching up to do.
Interestingly, the cyberpunk dystopian LA of the future also has computers straight out of the 1980s and people who still read print newspapers.
Blade Runner is a dystopian story wrestling with philosophical and moral questions related to advanced AI, with visually interesting set and costume design and an ending that left some things ambiguous. In other words, this movie was right up my alley.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, even though parts felt very dated and the soundtrack was laughably bad. It seemed a bit over-simplified at times, but the questions it raises remind me of those we explored in two of my college literature classes, Utopian Literature and Science & Fiction (both of which were taught by one of my favorite professors).
Blade Runner is, by the way, loosely based on one of those books that's embarrassingly been sitting on my shelf unread: 1968's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.
Dick died the same year the movie came out -- about four months before it was released, in fact. I was curious how involved he was in its production and what his opinion was of how the movie portrayed his story. This is what Wikipedia has to say:
A screenplay had been in the works for years before [Ridley] Scott took the helm, with Dick being extremely critical of all versions. Dick was still apprehensive about how his story would be adapted for the film when the project was finally put into motion. Among other things, he refused to do a novelization of the film. But contrary to his initial reactions, when he was given an opportunity to see some of the special effects sequences of Los Angeles 2019, Dick was amazed that the environment was "exactly as how I'd imagined it!", though Ridley Scott has mentioned he had never even read the source material. Following the screening, Dick and Scott had a frank but cordial discussion of Blade Runner's themes and characters, and although they had wildly differing views, Dick fully backed the film from then on, stating that his "life and creative work are justified and completed by Blade Runner".
Interesting. I'm curious why Scott never read the source material and in what ways he and Dick disagreed, but it sounds like Dick gave a pretty sound endorsement of Scott's vision nonetheless.
Also: Eyes.
I'm not going to get into the meaning of all this eye symbolism; still trying to process it all myself. But it was definitely interesting how often the film came back to images of eyes.
Since I've been pretty harsh on the portrayal of women in some of the other movies, I should add that the love scene in this is pretty rapey and gross.

(This article was written by some of my insiders, who I will refer to as the Educators Coalition of Desoto County.)
Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
A pair of losers try to pretend that their murdered employer is really alive..
The chaos of the first day of school was heightened when the main server for all of the schools malfunctioned.. So it looks as if our new technology guru is earning the 97,000 he got for this job. Parents were in lines at many schools and of course the administrators at the Central Office were very sensitive to this….NOT. They sent a message to the schools to have attendance completed by 10:00 a.m. So it had to be done by hand. Normally that would be ok but impossible to do in an hour! Since the district uses three programs (must have had three friends selling something) to register one child, registration in itself can take up to an hour. One high school counselor who has been registering for years said it now takes her 45 minutes per child to register.She goes to one program to get a number, another program to submit data. and another program to scan the documents. I am no technology guru making 97,000 a year, but surely there is one program that can handle 3 tasks.
Implementing common core is a disaster also because there is no leadership at the top to make sure everything runs smoothly. That is because she has not made up her mind what she is going to do. The units are written one at a time and delivered to schools. Then a week later you get 3 pages of whoops we left something out and teachers must add these in the huge notebooks they use to organize the units. In order to do lesson plans teachers need a small truck to get the curriculum hauled back and forth to school everyday.Things change rapidly in common core depending on relatives and friends with products to sell. Teachers and administrators implement new programs frequently. The person in charge of implementing the curriculum makes 153,000 a year. Add that salary to the new technology guru's salary of 97,000 and if I am adding correctly we are paying two people in the district office 250,000 to royally mess things up. THIS IS A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR 2 PEOPLE. AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM WAS ELECTED TO RUN OUR DISTRICT. Since one of them is the chief purchasing agent for the district, she can increase her salary whenever she wants. The school board would have to approve this, but they approved over $60,000 in pay increases for her over the last three years.
Where is our elected leader? He is walking around, his lips are moving, and he is saying things he is programmed to say. Our only hope for the future is someone new coming in and running a fist so far up the back of his shirt that it will replace the backbone he lost 5 years ago. He hasn't got a clue what programs we are using to register one student and the amount of time it takes. If he did he wouldn't have taken an office person from each school 3 years ago. He doesn't have a clue how the teachers are being overworked to write a curriculum for someone who makes 153,000 a year to write curriculum. He doesn't know the teachers are having a hard time implementing the curriculum. He doesn't see them bring home 20 pounds of notebooks containing a pieced together curriculum. He doesn't know the server goes down frequently and parents and school personnel are suffering because of this malfunction. He doesn't know the central office cuts them no slack because of their foul ups. Most importantly he doesn't know that teachers and administrators are scared to death of losing their jobs if they tell him. Why doesn't he know this? Because the same premise for Weekend at Bernie's applies to life at the Central Office. And for those of us who work out in the schools it is going to be a loooooooooong "Weekend At Bernie's." The only thing we would change is the rating of "comedy" to "horror"!

Going grocery shopping is much more of a boring chore than it is anything remotely fun. In fact, most of us find ourselves dreading having to go at the end of every week or two. Even though grocery shopping in and of itself is normally a bore, there are some things you can do to liven up the experience so it isn't as dreadful. Here are 10 ways for you to make your Walmart trip more enjoyable!
1. Get snacks from the deli and eat them while you shop.
Walmart almost always has cups of popcorn chicken and shrimp ready at the deli (or sometimes in heaters at the front of the store). These things are DELICIOUS and will prevent you from shopping while hungry.
2. Call a friend while you shop.
Chances are if Walmart trips are already boring for you then you know what you need to get like the back of your hand. So, call a friend and get updated on the latest gossip while you pick up your goods.
3. Try on some cute clothes.
Trying on cute clothes almost always helps to bring some excitement to shopping.

4. Envision the awesome food creations you can make with what you're buying.
Buy a box of cake mix? Don't just make a boring cake, but think outside the… box. The possibilities are endless!
5. Bring a friend and race to the finish line.
If you have a friend who also needs to grocery shop, go at the same time and see who finishes first!
6. Play the "alphabet" game with your kids, a friend, or alone.
A lot of us played this game as kids on road trips. Find a word that starts with the letter "A," then you can move on to "B," then "C," and so on until you've reached the end (good luck with "X" though)!

7. Time yourself and try to beat your own record.
Your list is probably about the same length each week, so time yourself every time you go and see if you can beat your own record!
8. See how tall you can stack items in your buggy.
Cans, bags, boxes, stack it all and see how tall you can get it!
9. See how long you can walk around without the stack falling over.
One you have a tall stack, see how long you can walk around while keeping the stack in-tact! Try not to bump into anything (or anyone)!

10. Visit aisles that you normally don't walk into, and plan some decor ideas!
You probably don't visit the decor aisles during your Walmart trip that often. Give yourself something to look forward to by taking a peek at some of the cute decorations they have, and plan where you can put them in your own home!

Zonos, formerly named iGlobal Stores, is an e-commerce and SaaS technology company located in St. George that is seeing a lot of growth thanks to its innovative software. It created a website plugin for small-to-medium-sized businesses and APIs for the large-to-enterprise-sized companies, to calculate duties, taxes and shipping rates for their international customers in real time at checkout and during the shopping experience.
On February 16th, St. George-based iGlobal Stores hosted a worldwide, online event to announce Zonos Classify and Zonos Hello, cloud-based widgets that automate traditionally difficult and time-consuming processes for global ecommerce companies.
A St. George technology company that focuses on e-commerce worldwide has officially changed it's name and added more widgets to its service.

Hello, 80 degrees! I love you! I missed you so much!
We basically spent every possible moment outdoors today, which wasn't really all that much, but I'll take what I can get. Mila played on her swing, both girls made me feel guilty about there still not being a trampoline in our yard, and then we all went for a quick walk because obviously.
We made it about halfway across our yard before it started. The whining. SO MUCH WHINING. Mila is really very good at being a whiny whining whinerton and OMG THAT KID CAN WHINE. "It's too stiiiiinky," she kept complaining.
"What smells icky? Waaaah," she whined.
"Ewwwwww, what smells so bad?" she complained some more.
The real problem was that she was right. The stench hanging in the air smelled a lot like a slimy jock strap dipped in rotten eggs and left under the rug in a men's locker room. IT WAS SO GROSS. Of course the whole thing led to lots of questions and while I knew the answer, the girls didn't believe me.
The Stupid Pear Trees.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE PLANT THEM. I know, they're pretty when they're blooming. They're so perfectly shaped when they're just leaves. THEY ARE EVIL, TERRIBLE, AWFUL TREES. STAAAAAHP. Between the splitting and the falling and the dying, The Stupid Pear Trees always end dumb. And they stink on their way there.
So much stink.
I explained that it was the trees to the girls about 4135018351 times, but they refused to believe me. Finally, I grabbed a blossom off of a tree and handed it to Mila. She took one sniff, curled up her face in disgust, and declared, "WHY IS THAT REAL?"
Why, indeed.

Queen dragons, also referred to as Gold dragons, are the dominant females of the dragon species. They are the largest and rarest of all dragons. Queens are, in general, imperious, demanding, quick to anger, and easily riled up.
Characteristics and personality
Role in the Weyr
Queens are the dominant females of the dragon species, and any other dragon will obey the orders of a queen even against the will of their own riders. Queens dragons will only impress women, and appear to have a preference for women born outside of the weyrs. Within a Weyr, Queen dragons serves as leaders along side Bronze dragons, and are responsible for the continuation of the species. Typically, a healthy Weyr has multiple queens. One queen serves as senior queen, while their rider is Senior Weyrwoman, though there can be multiple junior queens.
Because queens do not ingest firestone, they are unable to flame thread and so do not fly with the fighting wings. Instead, they fly in special "Queen's Wings", which fly at low altitude with their riders bearing flamethrowers to char any missed thread from above. This practice was forgotten during the Eighth Interval, which saw the number of queens decrease until there was only one living queen at any time. Queen's wings were reintroduced in the Ninth Pass, which saw the return of the five missing Weyrs.
Queen dragons are the only fertile females; the other female dragons, green dragons, are sterile. The people of Pern believe that firestone induces this sterility, so Queen dragons are forbidden from ingesting it. Meanwhile, green dragons, which are smaller and more numerous, ingest firestone, preventing them from overpopulating the weyrs with undersized dragon offspring. It is implied, however, that queens may in fact be genetically unable to ingest firestone, due to the outdated beliefs of Kitti Ping Yung regarding gender roles.
Reproduction occurs during a mating flight, where a queen is pursued by one or more bronze dragons, the only males with the necessary stamina to keep up during a flight. Mating occurs on a regular basis, more often just before or during a pass, less often during an interval. The onset is marked by a sudden change in temperament and a sudden hunting of prey by the queen in question. Weyrwomen are encouraged to have their queens blood their kills for a quick burst of energy. Gorging is discouraged and is believed to result in smaller clutches. The queen mates with whichever bronze manages to catch her during a flight. In the event of a senior queen rising, the rider of the winning bronze becomes Weyrleader. It is tradition that all other queens in a weyr leave when another queen rises to mate. The emotion involved can induce other queens to rise, and can result in a fight to the death between the two.
When laying eggs, Queens are known to have a strong maternal instinct and will protect the eggs from any perceived threat. This instinct is the only known exception to a dragon's urge to suicide at the death of their riders; the queen will remain just long enough for the eggs to mature and hatch before suiciding.

Three Cities: Prayer & Protest is a shadow-based installation that investigates sites of tension, controversy, and contrast within three contemporary cosmopolitan environments. Inspired by recent events in three cities the artists have lived and worked in (Istanbul, Montreal and Vancouver) the exhibition explores notions of prayer & protest as communal expressions of personal hope, desire, demand and outrage.
Each 'city' becomes a palimpsest in which layers of social, cultural, economic, and political differences come into dialogue. Made from intricately cut paper sculptures, each city is presented as as "island". These islands are explored by the viewer with the use of mobile lights created for the installation. As the viewer moves through the space, the miniature paper imagery comes alive. Large scale shadows fill the gallery walls and the viewer, who was initially towering over the fragile paper cities, is now surrounded by layers of giant shadow.
Following the first exhibition of this work at the Brandts Museum in Denmark, Three Cities was shown at:
Maison de la culture Notre Dame de Grace, Montréal, QC, September 9 - Nov13 2016,
Maison de la Culture Ahuntsic, Montréal, QC, December 5 2016 - January 10 2017,
Grunt Gallery, Vancouver, BC January 12 - March 10 2017

This week, Anna challenged us to stop apologizing for bad reasons and Lisa gave us even more reasons why over-apologizing is the worst. (Not to mention that she was kind enough to switch posting days with me in the midst of a busy week!). As a fellow over-apologizer, I thought I would continue the theme this week by sharing another major lesson I've learned about over-apologizing from my experience.
I over-apologize because I don't trust people to tell me the truth, which stems from the fact that I'm often too afraid to tell others the truth. I live in a world where no one is upfront and so everyone should just apologize to each other ALL OF THE TIME. Although it's a very polite world, it's not a very pleasant one.
I will apologize at the drop of a hat if I think there's even a remote chance that something I did hurt someone's feelings. I realized I do that because I don't trust people to actually tell me if something hurt their feelings. I just assume that they'll be hurt but not say anything and quietly resent me forever. And I can't handle that (people-pleasing alert!), so I figure I'd better assume the worst and fix it now. What a lovely thing to assume about other people!
But I assume that because I often won't tell people that something hurt my feelings but instead feel resentful. Telling the truth is hard and can be awkward, plus the other person might get mad at me and I can't handle that. So it's easier to say nothing. Basically, then, when I over-apologize, I'm doing to others as I would have them do unto me, which is anticipate my unwillingness to speak up for myself and take it upon themselves to make sure I'm okay. Please and thank you.
I'm not saying that there isn't a place to be considerate to the needs of others, but my goodness, this is a codependent way to live. (Not to mention that it assumes that everyone else is exactly like me, which is just a little bit myopic.) Instead of taking responsibility for myself and my own needs and trusting that the other person is enough of an adult to take care of herself, I want her to take responsibility for me while I take responsibility for her (and I get mad if she doesn't follow along with this plan). Wouldn't it just be easier if we took care of ourselves? We each know our own needs better than anyone else, so instead of playing a neurotic second-guessing game, we can trust that if we offend other people and for some reason don't realize it, they'll tell us.
I think there's one more facet to this, which is that sometimes there are truly minor offenses that it's best to just overlook (as long as it's not making you feel resentful). But you see, I want people to think that I'm practically perfect in every way, so I can't handle the fact that there are little things about me that drive people nuts but which they've decided, in love, to just deal with. If there's something, no matter how minor, that makes other people think less of me, I want to know about it (sort of). So I think I over-apologize to find out about these minor indiscretions that people might not have mentioned otherwise. Which, as Lisa said, really makes it all about me. It wasn't a big enough deal to them to mention it, but I'm forcing them to. How considerate of me.
In the end, it's much better when my basis for my identity isn't in performance and people-pleasing but actually in the gospel and in the fact that God loves me.** Then other people being upset isn't so threatening to me, and I actually have enough self-esteem to be able to handle it if someone speaks an unflattering truth about myself. I'm able to be brave enough to both speak the truth in love and to hear it from others. And my "Sorry's" actually become about restoring relationships with others instead of trying to restore my relationship with myself.
**I wish I lived out this truth more often, but thank God that He is working on me!

Two groups populate the remote northwest part of Namibia near the village of Purro, and trite expressions like "chalk and cheese" come to mind in describing the Himba and Herero. They share dark black skin and an apparent common ancestry, and the two groups peacefully coexist in this barren desert land. But it would be hard to mistake one for the other.
The Himba live in tiny rounded huts built of twigs and covered with cow dung and random bits of cloth. The Herero favor tiny rectangular houses much smaller than a typical trailer—also made of dried cow dung. The Herero, however, have found a Christian God and a church sits squarely amid their structures.
It is their dress that leaves you breathless in its diversity, although both groups are incredibly classy in their garb.
The Himba wander nearly naked, breasts glowing and legs bare. Their butts are covered with wonderful brown furry strips of domesticated stock—primarily cow or the quirky looking goat-sheep. Their legs and arms are covered in metal bracelets and their necks wrapped in layers of necklaces made from bits of polished ostrich eggs and porcupine quills. Everything—skin, hair, and leather covering—is deeply soaked in a red powdery layer made by scraping a stone the color of dried blood—called an okla—on rough rock. This lends them an otherworldly glow as well as protection against sun, insects, and body odors.
The Herero, taught by the nineteenth century missionaries to forsake their lewd nakedness, wander this same barren desert land dressed as if Alice in Wonderland grew up into a perpetual tea party with the mad hatter. Ruffled voluminous skirts cover bellies whose ideal form, I was told, is the hippo, preferably well rounded to demonstrate wealth. Jewelry is minimal, but head-dress seems mandatory. Imagine a visit to Ascot in high season, preparation transposed to a remote desert milliner's. The frame that forms the shape to meet a lady's fancy is a coat hanger lifted from milady's dresser, and instead of birds perched on blond locks you get a form of cattle horns perched over glowing black cheeks. Colors are bold, patterns vibrant, and designs seem unchanged from the days when the Christians arrived and the Victorian style still flourished.

The Day 1 deal (that's from yesterday) is for a pair of Able Planet Wireless Headphones and runs through December 14. The headphones are $30.00 off, which makes them just $39.99, including shipping.

While the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division has been investigating the shooting of Michael Brown and the practices of the Ferguson Police Department, a different agency at Justice has been providing training to local police and assessing their response to demonstrations.
The office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) recently held a two-day training session for top police commanders on how bias can affect officers' behavior. It has sent police chiefs with experience in similar situations to Ferguson to help city and county law enforcement officials.
But much of the federal help has just gotten underway, and some of those involved are concerned there has not been enough time to make the changes that are necessary. Their worries come as Ferguson awaits the grand jury decision on whether Officer Darren Wilson will be indicted in the Aug. 9 shooting of the unarmed Brown.
"Here we are right smack dab up against potential crisis No. 2 and they are just starting up the appropriate changes," said Rick Myers, chief of police in Newport News, Va. "My heart goes out to them -- it's really a difficult situation."
He said police and community leaders were still traumatized by the August unrest.
"Both sides are pretty shell-shocked right now," he said.
"I'm fearful that much of the preparatory work that would have made a significant difference is probably in the early stages and [new demonstrations] would tax those relationships" between the community and the police, he said.
Myers, as the former interim police chief in Sanford, Fla., handled demonstrations after the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin. In Sanford the police had over a year after the shooting to train and prepare for the trial of George Zimmerman, who killed Martin and was acquitted of murder charges.
Myers was one of four police chiefs flown to Ferguson by the Justice Department weeks after Brown was killed. He met with the two top police officers in Ferguson and community and police leaders from St. Louis County and the city of St. Louis, he said.
"I will say it was very evident that the events had really taken a toll on the individuals involved," Myers said. "Many of the police chiefs have suffered harassment and very disruptive behaviors that spilled over to their whole families."
He said that the chiefs focused on the "optics" of the heavily armed police response to the demonstrations and how it affected the demonstrations. "I'm pretty sure the local police have put a lot time into thinking about tactics and the optics of them," he said.
Ronald Davis, director of the COPS office at Justice, said in an interview that 27 top police commanders and community representatives spent two days in training sessions with experts brought in by Justice on Nov. 6-7.
Additional training sessions will be scheduled for rank-and-file police officers and then for police who will be taught how to train their fellow officers on bias issues, he said.
He said it was a "candid discussion" of bias and its impact that "was very well received."
Asked if it would have been better to do the training earlier, Davis said that technical assistance started within days of the shooting and that his office was engaged in a long-term effort to achieve a cultural shift in the local departments and to "achieve commitments to systemic changes." The program may last for two years, he said.
"It's not an overnight process," Davis said. "It's not designed to change behavior for a specific event."
Asked whether he expected the local police response to be better, Davis said he could not make any predictions. He and other officials said Justice wants to provide as much support as possible but it will be up to the local police to take advantage of it.
At the same time, a different team of experts has recently begun an assessment of local police agencies that handled the demonstrations in the roughly two weeks after the shooting, Davis said. That report will be made public once it is completed in about three months, he said.
"We will be looking at the decision making process and how things were implemented," Davis said.

Beauty Clinic: Shine-proof SPF primer advice
Q. I'm a landscape architect and outside most of the day. I'm looking for a reasonably priced, mattifying primer with a high SPF to wear under foundation for days with clients and planners when I have to be in 'smart' mode. A. As you know from our e-mail correspondence, this has been a bit of a tricky product to source. However, La Roche-Posay, a French dermatological brand for sensitive skin, now offers an Anti-shine option in its Anthelios range.
Anthelios XL Anti-shine Non-perfumed Dry Touch Gel-cream has a new SPF50+/ £16.50 for 50 ml, which promises no white marks and would work well under make-up. It is also water-resistant. The SPF50 should give you the high protection you want, but if you felt the need to top it up, there is also an Anthelios Invisible fresh mist SPF50/£14 for 75 ml.
For days when you are not in 'smart' mode, you might like to try Anthelios XL Tinted Dry Touch Gel-cream SPF50+.
We know from friends and readers with very touchy skin that the Anthelios range is very unlikely indeed to cause any irritation or sensitivity.
Another product that comes highly recommended is award-winning Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF30. This is designed to blur and prime the skin with a matte finish, as well as acting as an anti-ageing treatment. However, it does constitute more of an investment product at £55 for 30 ml.

Can You Buy a Money Order With a Credit Card?
Credit Card Insider receives compensation from advertisers whose products may be mentioned on this page. Advertiser relationships do not affect card evaluations. Advertising partners do not edit or endorse our editorial content. Content is accurate to the best of our knowledge when it's published. Learn more in our Editorial Guidelines.
You're in line at Western Union, about to buy a money order for the security deposit at your new place.
When you finally get to the front, the cashier offers you several payment options, including cash, debit, and credit.
Surprised, you ask yourself: "Can you buy a money order with a credit card? I wonder if it's a smart move."
Wonder no further — we have the answer for you below.
How Money Orders Work
Money orders are similar to cash, only more secure because they designate a specific payee.
Since they must be paid up front, they can't bounce like a personal check, and are therefore a form of guaranteed payment. They also don't splash your checking account number across the front, which makes them less prone to identity theft.
Money orders are widely available at retail stores and post offices, and usually cost less than $2. They're a solid way to send money in the mail or pay your landlord — but only if you use cash or a debit card.
When you pay with a credit card, it's a whole other story.
Can You Buy a Money Order With a Credit Card?
Because they're basically like cash, buying a money order with a credit card means your purchase will be coded as a cash advance.
So the answer is yes, some merchants may allow you to buy a cash advance with a credit card, but it can be expensive.
Cash advance fees usually clock in at 5% or $10 — whichever is greater. So, on a $100 money order, you'd pay $10, and on a $500 money order, you'd pay $25.
That's not all, though. Here are several other things to keep in mind when you purchase a money order with a credit card:
- You'll pay a higher interest rate: Most credit cards have a "cash advance APR" that's higher than the normal purchase APR.
- There's no grace period: Unlike most credit card purchases, cash advances start accruing interest immediately. That means you'll likely owe more money in fees each day after the day of the cash advance, until you've paid it off.
- You won't earn rewards: Cash advances don't earn points, and won't help you meet a minimum spend or snag a free vacation.
- It might be tough to pay off: When you make the minimum payment on your credit card, your card issuer chooses where to allocate it — and it'll probably be to your lowest-interest debt. So if you're already carrying a regular purchase balance on a particular card, the minimum payments won't help you pay down your cash advance (and in the meantime, it'll accrue significant interest). Any amount paid over the minimum, however, usually goes to the highest APR — which would likely be your cash advance.
How to Buy a Money Order With a Credit Card
Still convinced you want to buy a money order with a credit card? 7-Eleven and Western Union are the only major providers who will let you.
If you want to buy a money order from other locations, including gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores, Walmart, Moneygram, and the U.S. Postal Service, you'll need to do things a little differently.
To use a credit card for money orders at these retailers, you'll first need to use your card to withdraw cash from an ATM. Then you'll use the cash to purchase a money order. Note you'll still pay the same cash advance fees as with the other method, plus ATM fees if you use an out-of-network machine.
4 Alternatives to Money Orders
Most people purchase money orders when they don't have a bank account, want to keep their checking account numbers private, or want to avoid sending cash through the mail. In each of these situations, however, a money order isn't the only option.
Here are a few alternatives:
- Pay bills or rent with a credit card: Try Plastiq, an online service that lets you pay any bill with a credit card for a 2.5% fee.
- Send money domestically: Use online platforms like Venmo or PayPal, both of which allow you to fund your transfer with a credit card for around 3%. Or, if you have the money in your checking account, use your bank's bill pay service.
- Send money internationally: If your recipient doesn't have access to the American platforms, you can use Revolut or TransferWise (fees depend on the type of currency, but are generally lower than money orders).
- Pay a stranger for a large purchase: Say you bought a new car on Craigslist. If you're afraid of giving the seller a check or cashier's check with your information on it, you could pay through one of the online platforms above. Or you could purchase a money order with your debit card. (If you don't have the money in your bank account, then maybe think about whether you really need that item after all!)
4 Best Credit Cards for Money Orders
Although we don't recommend using credit cards with money orders, a few cards are better choices than the rest.
The following cards don't charge cash advance fees, and don't have special (read: extra high!) cash advance APRs.
Whichever card you choose, your APR will depend on your creditworthiness and credit scores. If they're excellent, you'll be at the lower end of the APR range; if they're poor, you'll be at the higher end. Here's how to build your scores with credit cards.
- Annual fee: $0
- Introductory bonus: $100 statement credit when you spend $1,500 in the first 90 days
- Rewards: 5X points per dollar on gas at the pump; 3X points on groceries; 1X point on all other purchases
- Perks: No foreign transaction fees
- Purchase / cash advance APR: 11.74% to 17.99% Variable
With no cash advance fees, a $100 statement credit, and decent rewards, the PenFed Platinum Rewards Visa Signature® Card (Review) is the most attractive option of the bunch. To get any PenFed products, you must be a member of the credit union. PenFed is federally insured by NCUA.
- Annual fee: $0
- Rewards: 1X ScoreCard Rewards point per dollar
- Purchase / cash advance APR: 4.90% for 12 months (even for cash advances!); after that, 7.59%–17.99%. For those who don't qualify for the introductory rate, the APR is 17.99%.
This CapEd Visa® Platinum Credit Card has no cash advance fee — and for those who qualify, it offers a low 4.90% APR for cash advances that are made within the first six billing cycles and paid off in the first year.
- Annual fee: $0
- Rewards: 1X ScoreCard Rewards point per dollar
- Purchase / cash advance APR: 8.99% or 9.99%
If you qualify for the MICU Platinum Visa card you'll get one of the rates shown above, which are relatively low for cash advances. To join MICU, you'll need to open a savings account with $5, of which $1 will go to charity.
- Annual fee: $0
- Rewards: 1X ScoreCard Rewards point per dollar
- Purchase / cash advance APR: 9.49%–18.00% Variable
The American 1 Rewards Credit Card comes in your choice of more than 100 designs, from nature scenes to animals to American flags. Another bonus is it's serviced in-house, so if you have any questions, you can call — and a real person will pick up after a few rings! To become a member of the credit union, you'll need to pay $3 to join Community 1 Cooperative.
Wrapping Up
While we'd never recommend buying a money order with a credit card, you can lessen the cost by choosing a card without high cash advance fees or APRs.
The better option, however, is to use cash for your money orders — and one of the best credit cards for your other shopping needs.

Mountain Movers
Why not talk about and remind each other of the times when we are GREAT!
As women, we LOVE to talk. And it so healing and therapeutic for us too. And sometimes, even just getting comfortable talking to other women is a big step. But then, we start to learn what is it we even want to talk about? Of course we want to shut up and listen and acknowledge each other's hurt and sadness and validate the parts of us that go unseen, but we are also here to lift each other up! And there are many ways to do that.
One, is by bringing up a time when we saw each other in our power and wisdom and really going for it full on. Because we all just forget. Is a part of the game on a path of transformation and evolution. And a reminder like that can pull is right back into that state of power. So, who can you reach out to today and thank for being a mountain mover? More importantly are there any women in your life today that you feel could use that reminder? That maybe are a little discouraged or unsure today? Go for it! Let's start this Monday and Mercury retrograde out RIGHT! Xo #awakenedfeminine #soulbeauty

- "The Eternal Fleet is an ancient and unstoppable armada operated by sentient droids and controlled by the Eternal Throne. Centuries ago, the fleet nearly wiped out all of Wild Space. It took a colossal alien warship, the Gravestone, to deactivate the Eternal Fleet, and even it was subsequently lost in the final battle. Valkorion had heard rumors of the fleet before his arrival on Zakuul; it was the main reason he chose the planet to house his new empire. Once he gained control over Zakuul, he began his search for the fleet in earnest, using the Scions' Force visions to eventually find the dormant ships. He built the Eternal Throne to reactivate and command the lost fleet. While primarily used in military operations, the fleet is also key in collecting tributes and resources from conquered planets and protecting trade routes in Wild Space."
- ―In-game Codex (Codex/Lore)
The 'Eternal Fleet is the large naval force used by the Eternal Empire of Zakuul to invade and hold territories.
The majority of the Eternal Fleet is composed of Eternal Fleet Battlecruisers and at the head of the armada is the Eternal Fleet Flagship.
