Simple questions are often the most difficult to answer
Sometimes the simple questions are the most difficult to answer, especially those related to ourselves and our being.
Here are two short videos featuring lectures by the late Alan Watts. Take a few minutes of your day, find a quiet location, watch the videos, allow yourself to feel and listen. And you will find yourself asking some simple questions.
What do you want? What is within your control? What will you do? What is possible? What will you commit to? What now?
There need not be an answer. But sometimes asking the question is a worthwhile exercise in and by itself.
What if money was no object?

Enabling Continuous Delivery (CD) in Enterprises with TestingAnand Bagmar
schedule 2 years agoSold Out!
90 mins
Case Study
The key objectives of Organizations is to provide / derive value from the products / services they offer. To achieve this, they need to be able to deliver their offerings in the quickest time possible, and of good quality!
In such a fast moving environment, CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Delivery) are now a necessity and not a luxury!
There are various practices that Organizations and Enterprises need to implement to enable CD. Testing (automation) is one of the important practices that needs to be setup correctly for CD to be successful.
Testing in Organizations on the CD journey is tricky and requires a lot of discipline, rigor and hard work. In Enterprises, the Testing complexity and challenges increase exponentially.
In this session, I am sharing my vision of the Test Strategy required to make successful the journey of an Enterprise on the path of implementing CD.

Case Study
Being agile enables the software development groups in Enterprises to deliver high value and high quality software with speed. However legacy applications along with the overall Enterprise landscape pose their own challenges that are outside of the scrum framework to solve.
Multiple small scrum teams though working on separate applications need to be cohesive with a big picture. As a portfolio lead, who owns multiple applications and teams related to a portfolio within an Enterprise is a Chicken in scrum terminology. The expectation from the role is that of leader, scrum master as well as an Architect providing technical and functional oversight to the teams within the portfolio. This session is about a retrospective of our work life as a Portfolio Lead who takes care of multiple scrum teams, and applications. We would like to speak about the top 3 challenges faced such as Scaling Production Support / Knowledge Retention for applications delivered through Scrum, Impact of Organizational Transformation initiatives on the scrum teams, People challenges in scrum teams and Multiple Stakeholder Expectations / Conflict Management through real life examples of our work. We would retrospect what we did, and discuss and debate what worked well, and what did not.

Experience Report
The common myth about agile methodology is, it is suited for smaller, co-located teams, would not scale up for big enterprises and is best suited for smaller, less complex programs.
In this talk, I intend to share how we went about setting up, executing and successfully delivering probably one of the most complex and strategic programs for one of our customers. This program was the first ever successful adoption of the fully distributed agile implementations for the customer.
Context: The client is the leading Telecom Operator in the UK, having their captive and other strategic partners based out of India. The program was highly strategic for the client and the predicted ROI was high.
- The implementation was tried twice by different vendors for more than an year, but failed to deliver; root causes were not analyzed
- The Program Sponsor had one last chance to try and deliver the platform successfully, against a very tight schedule
- Continued Operational risk with the legacy system in place
Outcome of our engagement:
- Core functional application ready in pre-production by the end of first release cycle (4 months from engagement start); fully ready to functionally scale easily and quickly
- Adoption of the technical and execution approach to other related programs within the portfolio
Our Approach:
- Outcome of initial assessment of the existing codebase was to go with re-write from scratch; was a really hard sell, but was the RIGHT thing to do
- Re-define the release cycle: extend development period by embedding integration testing as part of development cycle and cut down on the low level design phase
- Need-basis colocation of functional SMEs with development team
- Direct access to Product Owners: weekly video calls, must-attend iteration show-cases, etc
- Remove unnecessary operational overheads, in terms of people as well as organizational processes
- Well-defined, pragmatic strategy for Integration testing (major constraints - lead time for test data preparation, limitation in re-usability of test data, lack of e2e functional understanding within team)
- Smart seeding of other vendor team members (with good functional/domain understanding) into the core team
- Zero compromise on basic hygienic practices: IPMs, Showcases, communicate negative-news-first with alternate solutions/workarounds, strict removal of wastes, inclusive decision making, highest degree of code coverage, sanity test suite, e2e basic automation suite
- Building trust between distributed teams: cross-pairing, align on core work hours across time zones, joint showcases and retrospectives (shared responsibility)
Challenges faced:
- Big push to release the core functional platform into production in 3 months (immediate next release)
- Working out of other vendor premises: seen as threat to their business, lack of cooperation and collaboration
- Product Owners based out of UK, no easy / frequent access
- Functional SMEs/designers based out of different location
- Release cycle that was in place: 8 weeks of design, 4 weeks of development and 8 weeks of testing!
- Distributed and isolated testing teams
- Highly manual and time-consuming E2E testing processes
- Multiple interfacing systems, both upstream and downstream
- Client development team based out of UK, different execution approach, lack of trust between the teams
In summary, I would like to share the unique aspects of the execution approach that made this program a real success for the customer, though some of the approaches might be tried out in different environments and project situations.

Scrum of Scrums has a mixed record of effectiveness. The vast majority completly miss the point of stand-ups and Scrum of Scrums. The last few years have seen unscrupulous consultants sell all sorts of pills for the ills of scaling. If a project needs more than 15 people, it is crucial one understands the Central issue of scaling.
In this talk I take the audience through the common pitfalls and explain the irrelavance of the question: "How can we scale agile?"

Abstract: Intangibles, such as tolerance, creativity and trust, are increasingly seen as important for the geography of innovation. Yet these factors have often been poorly approximated in empirical research that has used generalized proxy measures to account for subtle personal differences. This article argues that the psychological literature on personality traits can help address this issue and provide important insights into the socioinstitutional determinants of innovation. It uses a unique, large-scale psychological survey to investigate the relationship between the Big Five personality traits commonly used in psychology—openness to experience, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness—and patenting in travel-to-work areas in England and Wales. The main personality trait associated with innovation is conscientiousness, a trait defined by organization, hard work, and task completion. Instrumental variable analysis using religious observance in 1851 suggests that this is a causal relationship. Research on the role of intangibles in innovation has been preoccupied by factors, such as creativity and trust, but the results of this article suggest that a new focus—on hard work and organizational ability—is needed.

Abstract: Overseas Chinese communities are an important determinant in the location choice of greenfield investments made by mainland Chinese multinational enterprises across European regions. Conceptually embedded in a relational approach, this effect is shown through an empirical analysis of an exhaustive set of investment projects across NUTS-1 regions in twenty-six European countries for the period 2003–2010. When controlling for endogeneity bias and the embeddedness of existing Chinese economic activity, we find that the importance of overseas communities in the location choices of Chinese firms is based on increased access to strategic information. Our results confirm that the relationship between the size of an overseas Chinese community and the probability of Chinese investment is stronger for communities hosting newer generations of Chinese migrants; in addition, they partially corroborate that this relationship is stronger when the education level of the community's Chinese migrants is higher. Our findings are particularly robust in the context of knowledge-intensive sectors and high value-added functions.

Abstract: This article examines the nature of price formation and transmission in the Tanzanian coffee price chain. To date, research on the real-world processes of price formation has been scant in economic geography and extant literatures. This article addresses this by focusing on price formation in geographically distant but connected markets, and the interaction between global and local price dynamics. The article employs a new framework that builds on chain and network approaches by integrating concepts from marketization and institutional approaches. The study finds that the world price of coffee has become increasingly volatile as a result of the behavior of international coffee traders and broader shifts in the character of global capital accumulation. It also demonstrates the varying role domestic marketing and local-level institutions play in shaping price formation and cushioning Tanzanian producers from sudden price changes. Finally, the study highlights the role prices, via these local-level institutions, play in extenuating differentiation between producers, creating winners and losers.

Abstract: Workers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are vital for regional and national prosperity. Not every person with STEM qualifications, however, finds employment in a STEM job. This article analyzes the geography of this matching between STEM degree holders and certain types of STEM occupations across large metropolitan labor markets in the United States. We find that although labor-market size has no effect, living in denser STEM labor markets elevates the probabilities of matching; having an advanced degree enhances this effect. Women are also far less likely to be matched than men; being black or Latino additionally lowers the chances of matching. Combining spatial effects with individual attributes increases probabilities of matching in places with high concentrations of STEM jobs for women, racial minorities, and the foreign born, but these advantages are often the same for white, native-born men. In denser STEM labor markets the job-matching advantage spans the labor pool, conferring no differential benefit for different population subgroups.
Key words: STEM, matching, degree, job, agglomeration, gender, race, age, nativity, creative class

It was something I said that broke the rank and file of emotion. Something about reliability. Her head bowed over her breakfast bowl of oatmeal and berries. There was a pause, and then... tears. I sucked in my breath. Sunlight, missing for the past two days, streamed in the hotel restaurant's dining room. I snatched my napkin from off my lap and deposited it on my empty plate, rose and turned to unleash my purse strap from the back of my chair, lifting it over my head and down to rest on one shoulder, its weight at my hip, weapon-like. We marched single-file and tight-lipped past the black-clad waiters and waitresses who smiled as a reflex.
She cried. She cried the tears that are squeezed from the inner-most chambers of the heart. Her personal war story was one of many battles—diagnosis and remission, diagnosis and remission, diagnosis and remission, with life laying siege each time in between. Though her arena differed from our own, the language of the campaign was so much the same. Fear. Loss. Trust. Loss. Hope. Loss. Fatigue. Loss.
With survival comes a lamentation for the life that was lost. There lies such great grief in the hearts that lead our campaign of change. We patients, we involuntary band of brothers, were enlisted by this army as cannon fodder. But we were not taken down. Wounded yet emboldened by experience, we rose to build our own armies, wiped tears from our blood- and grease-covered faces, pounded our fists against our chests and cried out, "Action conquers fear." It is only from being torn apart that we are given the means to heal.
Each fortress of healthcare's status quo shows chinks in the wall through which we speak, at first a whisper, and then a yell—patients included, patient-centered, empowered, engaged, enabled. We scale walls. We break open doors. We recruit those inside. And thus our army grows.
We fight not to destroy but to reconstruct. My own weapons are words. I wield stories to cleave the heart in two and the head apart from its routine course of judgment. Each patient who tells his or story thus has chosen to take up his or her arms and fight. Like me. Like she. Like we.

A. E. Taylor's series of decorative road maps and town plans first appeared in 1932 as promotional posters for Pratt's Motor Oil Company and were re-issued after their takeover by Esso at slightly reduced scale in 1936 in "Pictorial Britain and Ireland ...." Each map is covered with vignettes and small panels of text illustrating towns and landmarks along the roads. The town plans were simplified introductions to each city with the major roads, buildings and landmarks identified and illustrated in delicate vignettes. Here is a very interesting and decorative map of Cambridge, with a little inset map of the roads connecting Cambridge to surrounding towns such as Peterborough and Bishop's Stortford.

As legendary photographer and Warhol chronicler Nat Finkelstein said, "I stayed in the Factory for close to two years. I watched pop die, I saw punk being born. I participated in a cultural revolution that shook the superstructure of our society." So his retrospective, at London's Idea Generation Gallery, is a must-see for anyone interested in a behind-the-scenes glimpse of party girl Edie Sedgwick, Nico, the Velvet Underground and the avant-gardist himself.

The award-winning graffiti artist Aerosol Arabic, whose murals have promoted community cohesion around the world, has joined up with a trio of poets in his home city of Birmingham for a one-night performance of live poetry, illustrated on the fly with some high-speed spray-painting. The focal point of the project is the number three: three poets, three art walls and the hypothesis that big ideas (such as birth, life and death) come in three, too. 'Writing on the Wall' is at Birmingham's Repertory Theatre from Thursday, birmingham-rep.co.uk.
France's bestseller list shows French readers to be rather more cosmopolitan than their UK counterparts, with books by English, Spanish and Swedish authors in the top 20. Last year's bestsellers, however, revealed them to be no more capable of resisting Dan Brown than us. His The Lost Symbol (Symbole Perdu) was number one, followed by Marie NDiaye's Trois Femmes Puissantes and Anna Gavalda's L'échappée Belle. Consolation, the new book by French national treasure Gavalda (its French title, La Consolante, is what boules players call the losers' play-off), is published here soon. Read an interview with her in these pages on 21 February.

When it comes to restaurant gimmicks, there's a certain irony to "pay what you feel", as many customers end up paying more than the usual price rather than running the risk of appearing tight. But Richard Branson's award-winning Kensington Roof Garden restaurant Babylon has its own twist on the tactic: next Saturday it is running a one-off "pay what you feel" day, with all proceeds going to charity. Which should give you a warm glow in your stomach as well as from doing good. roofgardens.virgin.com
Stop press: men and women like different clothes. A new survey by mycelebrity fashion.co.uk reveals men's most hated trends to be Ugg boots, jeggings and harem pants. First up, congratulations to the 21 per cent who knew what jeggings were; second, even fashion's grande dame Vivienne Westwood admits that harem trousers make you look "like you've shat yourself" – and she practically invented them. Meanwhile, poor old Rihanna was voted worst-dressed celebrity of 2009. But of the trends men do like, maxi-dresses came top (37 per cent), with one-shouldered dresses next, (25 per cent). Just the thing for relaxing on the sofa...

The first 100 days: President Trump's top priorities include rolling back protections to workers' wages, health, and safety
April 27, 2017
During his first 100 days, President Trump has rolled back worker protections and outlined a fiscal year 2018 budget that would dramatically cut funding for the agencies that safeguard workers' rights, wages, and safety. He has also advanced nominees to key posts—even to the Supreme Court—who are hostile to policies that boost wages, enhance workers' bargaining power, and protect worker safety.

If you are a foodie, this is undoubtedly the best time to be alive. Yes ,I am referring to the picnics and the new year parties that in some cases run long into February. Having said that , if you are in Assam for the time being, you don't need a new year party to calm the storm in your tummy for in store for you is one of the biggest festivals of the state- Magh Bihu. Also known as Bhogali Bihu for the simple reason that this festival is all about 'Bhog' or food, every household of the state puts forward its best culinary treats for near and dear ones. So it's high time, we took a look at some of the most loved Bihu snacks and soak our eyes in the gastronomic festivities.
Courtesy: mid-day.com
The very first edible that comes to mind the instant one hears the word 'Bihu' is Pitha. Yes, the humble savoury has for long been the flag bearer of the Assamese culinary culture. Here in Assam, anytime is Pitha time but when it comes to Magh Bihu, the Pitha comes into its own and hogs the limelight like never before. The most loved and probably the oldest among the illustrious members of its kind is the Pitha made of rice flour with a filling of crushed and fried coconuts (narikol) and jaggery (gur). A special kind of glutinous rice called 'Bora saul' is used to form the white outer crust. The rice is sticky in nature which works perfectly as a binding agent for the crust. The crepe made of Bora Saul goes well with other fillings too and this property has made way for a whole different genre of Pithas. One of them is the jaggery and sesame (til) filled pitha. The sweetness of the jaggery and the subtle bitter taste of the sesame work wonders in your mouth and if you manage to make the perfect crepe ( which is easier said than done), that somehow adds a whole new oomph level to the snack.

Patishepta is another member of the Pitha family that looks, feels and tastes like heaven! Traditionally a Bengali sweet, it has quite a fan following in Assam too. This crepe can be best advertised as 'Juicy inside, juicy outside'. With a soft outer covering made of refined flour and semolina and a filling which ranges from coconuts and jaggery to Kheer , this is truly not a sweet for those who look for sugar free eatables everywhere they go. The Patishepta is often bathed in condensed milk before serving and that makes it simply put, irresistible.

Another dish or what can be called a meal that has tradition written all over it is the Jolpan. It is basically a sweetened mixture comprising of ground rice, flattened rice (chira), puffed rice (muri) and cooked glutinous rice mixed together with curd (doi) and sour cream. A generous serving of sugar and a 'take as much as you like' quantity of jaggery is added to it making it a healthy and sweet Bihu breakfast.

If you are thinking that's too much sweetness for a day, then my pal, the party has just begun! Enter: Ghila Pitha . Ghila Pitha is what most of the country knows as the humble 'Malpua' . Sieved rice flour is mixed with grated Jaggery and warm water. The dough is then kneaded into small balls, flattened out and then fried and covered with sugar syrup which results in perfect brown balls filled with contentment (and sugar!)

A sweet that rules the list in almost all regions of the country is the Laddoo. In this part of the world during Bihu, a sweet laddoo is prepared with grated coconut, sugar and jaggery called the 'Narikol Laru'. Its easy to make and extremely delicious to have, so much so that no one can eat just one!

So this Bihu, get ready to treat your sweet tooth. Let the festivities begin!

We felt lucky because we arrived at the cathedral just as it opened at 5:00 p.m. This is a beautiful sacred space and it wasn't overrun by tourists. I took a few pictures and it was only as we were exiting that I learned this was not allowed. So I feel the pictures that are attached to this review are...
Try to go early and see it before it gets too crowded. But either way, you can't miss it. Plus, wander the streets nearby, it's a charming city.
Travelling to Hvar was wonderful, the town is peaceful and clean. The cleanliness is amazing and the people who work are incredibly friendly. The catherdral is certainly beautiful and steeped in history
Went to Sunday Mass here. Was said in Croatian as one might expect but they did have Newsletters for various Nationalities including an English version with the Readings and Gospel on. There is an English Mass available.
Church was very ornate and well attended.
Beautiful on the outside but we could not enter be caused it was closed until 6:00 PM and we were departing at 4:30 PM to go back to our ship (LaPerla) that afternoon.
I tried to find out before arrival when are services in Hvar but I did not find such information. Now I enclose current info. The cathedral has some nice pictures, mostly a bit "heavy" baroque interior, party not so beautiful elements but when you look for a place to pray it is a right place for you.
In the centre & focal point of Hvar Town. Cathedral is the dominant street scape of the square
Visually the interior is nothing out of the ordinary & you really need to brief yourself of it's history to get most out of your visit
There are hardly few things on Hvar island if you are not doing cruise. This is located at main square . You can't miss
Every town has to have something religious. The stephens cathedral is nothing special really. Not worth the time to visit, especially when the weather is nice and you could chill on the beach
A simple cathedral with a basic decoration. Only 10kn to enter and there is information around the cathedral in several languages about the essentials and history of the cathedral. If you have spare time it is worth a visit but not the highest priority. Ensure you are dressed modestly otherwise you will be denied entrance.

new with spurs

Hi I just got back from the doctor. He has been saying its just imflamation. He did an x-ray and there was a spur. He wanted to give me a shot but I said no.I am also 17weeks pregnant, so i guess it will get worse. I have read to much on this board about the shot. I go to a specialist on monday. I want another option other than the shot.If there are any. I have learned alot from this board. Mary in texas
Re: new with spurs
on 1/20/99 at 00:00 (003668)
Dear Mary--good for you for saying no to the shot, especially since you are pregnant. During any pregnancy its best to say no to anything going into your body unless recommended by your ob/gyn. There are lots of options for you. You might go over the survey Scott has in the front of this board to find out what worked best for most people and then give them a try. Also, you may want to find another doctor, one willing to recommend physical therapy or orthotics, etc. Best of luck. Barbara PS Congratulations on being pregnant!

Also came from the doctor today. Been having a lot of pain in both heel for quite sometime, so decided to go to a Poditras. X-rays where taking and heel spurs where found. I go back Friday for a casting for orthodics, but was given a cortosone shot today in the right heel where most of my pain is at.
This is all new to me, so any information you could provide let me know.

This shirt says a lot while saying nothing at all. Let the symbols do the talking. Are you sick of hearing all of the doom and gloom from internet pirating as if the movie industry has not screwed the audience every inch of the way. What I am sick of is the potential collusion between the movie industry and the propaganda machine of the government. This is the first time in history when the movie industry needs the government to pass laws that limit civil liberties to insure their profits and the government has a submissive partner in oppressing our rights to distribute information. Together they make one sick little puppy that will create the propaganda and the laws that will destroy the creative potential of the "digital revolution". Big Brother can only exist if the media industry allows intrusive behavior to exist. This is the first time in history when the media industry needs the government to create laws that will insure their profits and they will support intrusive measures to get those laws.

Yamaha's proprietary A-YST II (Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology II) delivers big-speaker bass from a compact cabinet.
It's the reality and richness of real bass - bass you can feel as well as hear.
The unique port design strictly controls airflow during bass reproduction.
This minimizes annoying reathing sounds and further enhances the sensation of speed and clarity provided by the A-YST II system.
The result is high-quality bass, well delineated and without even a trace of muddiness.
The subwoofer's 250-watt power amp makes full use of Yamaha's expertise in electronic circuit technology.
Delivering bass that's both deep and tight while drawing just 80 watts of electric power, it fully meets today's needs for quality sound and lower energy consumption.
Yamaha's uncompromising dedication to sound quality finds expression in each and every part used in the NS-SW500, all carefully selected for optimal performance.
The subwoofer amplifier automatically switches into standby mode whenever it detects no input for an extended period.
That means efficient energy use, even if you leave the power on.
The NS-SW500 is designed with the environment in mind.
Power consumption in standby mode is only 0.3W, meeting the latest official European standards.
Connections include power supply linkage with the YSP series of digital sound projectors, making it easy to incorporate the NS-SW500 into your home theater system.
The Yamaha Philosophy expresses the philosophical framework of the Yamaha Group and consists of five elements: the Corporate Slogan, Corporate Philosophy, Customer Experience, Yamaha Way (mindset and manners), and Yamaha Quality (criteria for quality).Three of these, the Corporate slogan, Corporate Philosophy and Customer Experience, describe the Yamaha Group's reasons for existence, and represent the fundamental principles that form the foundation of the Yamaha Group. In order for Yamaha to achieve this ideal, the Yamaha Way and Yamaha Quality must be adopted and practiced by all employees, and drawn from for daily inspiration and guidance.
Sharing Passion & Performance
With our unique expertise and sensibilities,
gained from our devotion to sound and music,
we are committed to creating
excitement and cultural inspiration
together with people around the world.

I'm going to be rotating through decks this month, instead of the same one everyday.
October 4 – Today I pulled Death, from the Anna K 2nd edition. Truly, this is one of the most peaceful, gentle death cards I have seen. Whatever may befall will be a handled with concern and sympathy. Nothing to fear.
October 5 – Knight of Cups from New Century Tarot by Rolf Eichelmann.
October 6 – Vampires Tarot of the Eternal Night, 10 of Wands
October 7 – Knight of Swords, Intuitive Tarot
October 8 – Four of Wands, from Tarot de Euskalherria (Basque Country Tarot)
October 11 – Empress from the Witch Tarot, by Beth Seilonen
October 12 – Hudes Tarot, Knight of Swords
October 13 – Jungian Tarot – Nine of Swords
October 14 – Prediction Tarot – Three of Swords
Too many Swords lately.
October 15 – Light and Shadows Tarot – 10 of Swords
Argh! Another Swords card! Well, it's the 10, maybe that's an end to it. Looking back over this month, I have a preponderance of Swords, even pulling the Knight of Swords twice, from different decks. The book says "From this deep low point, one can rise, like the phoenix, to begin again." Wasn't really looking to bottom-out today.
October 18 – Deva Tarot, The Universe
Finally! Broke the Swords/Minors streak.
October 19 – Songs for the Journey Home – 9 of Flame Songs
October 20 – Love Tarot – The Hierophant
Wow is this dead-on today. The Boss's boss's boss is here from HQ back east, for two fun-filled days, god help us.
October 21 – Gothic Tarot (Leilah Wendell) – Deception (Devil)
October 22 – Nigel Jackson Tarot – Nine of Coins
October 24 – William Blake Tarot – Magic (Magician)
Los, creator of Time. Earth element, truth through time.
October 25 – Silicon Valley Tarot – Seven of Disks
Yep, that's me today. Computer is making nasty scary noises. Now I have to get in touch with our virtual tech support. Could be a week.
October 26 – Enchanted Tarot – Six of Hearts (Cups)
October 27 – Fenestra Tarot – The Moon
October 28 – Silver Era Tarot – Ace of Swords
Hmm, yup. Definitely an AoS kind of day. I need a pair of those metal gloves. And we're back to Swords. Again.
October 29 – Vargo Gothic – The Star
Yippee! It's not a sword!

Intriguing, Poetic and Mystic Prose
It's a long time since I've read a book as intriguing as Global Dawn in which there really is something for everyone. Definitely has my vote as one of the best novels to appear on bookshelves this year - and it doesn't have that "first novel" feel about it where you have to forgive all the mistakes before you can start enjoying the real content. I loved Deborah Gelbard's rich, poetic and mystic descriptions of the desert landscape, the Galilee and Jerusalem. You even get to see a ghost or two, and somehow, appearing as it does in the middle of a setting she's prepared so well, it seems perfectly acceptable - not off-the-wall or anything. The whole question of where the dividing line is between normal and crazy kind of hangs about the book. There's one place in the dialog, where Reuven's described as 'sounding like an off-the-wall prophet', but that's about all the hint you get of what might be behind his wild behavior. But then, if you watch him more carefully, you can get clues about his mental state - like, for example, the way he lashes out at Ora without warning, and the way the strange look in his eyes begins to disturb her. Somehow, we never quite believe in him as a prophet - perhaps it's all those speeches he makes that give the impression he's trying a bit too hard to convince us. It's interesting, though, to observe his charismatic manipulations: how people get sucked into his web, the tactics he uses and then, the way it all goes sour and he loses credibility. I don't want to give away the end to anyone who hasn't read the book, but I think the author's done a great job of keeping us guessing all the way through about who Reuven really is, whether he's a prophet or just crazy, and whether he actually has the power to make Global Dawn happen. There's something new to keep your attention on every page, too. No chance of getting bored in the middle of a tired plot -Global Dawn's full of dramatic surprises with dark phantoms of the past, bloody realities of now, jealousies between Reuven's string of women, poetic mystic visions and a great final twist -definitely something for everyone. Enjoy.

Cape Weather and a Recipe for Roasted Asparagus and Prosciutto
Jonathan Roberts for the Village Voice
Don't you just want to be friends with someone with a balcony and go sit on it and snack on roasted asparagus? I know, it's an oddly specific fantasy, but it hits all the right notes for me, now that spring seems to have finally dug in.
Actually, asparagus aside, I could have taken a quick break between "need-a-coat" and "just-a-cardi" to call in at "cape weather." I own a cape, because I am Fashion Batman, and honestly, there are like five potential days a year, tops, when it's a good idea temperature-wise to wear it, and now all of them are going to have to be in fall.
I even have an app (a birthday present built by my husband, which totally passes for romance in my house) that alerts me to the possibility of getting my arms out but keeping my torso covered in fabric. Every morning I ask it, "Is it cape weather?" and it beeps and tells me, "No."
And so to the asparagus. Creeping back into stores right about now. So simple, but so good:
Snap the woody ends off a bunch of asparagus. Put on a roasting tray and season well. Drizzle with olive oil, roll around to coat everything, then roast at 450°F for about 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the stems, until cooked (dare I say it, ever so slightly charred).
Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle with a little balsamic vinegar or lemon juice to brighten up the flavors, and sea salt for crunch. Serve with a big plate of prosciutto that you wrap the asparagus in as you eat.
Add an arugula salad dressed with lemon of balsamic and olive oil, and some shaved parmesan, and a few little bowls of things like mini mozzarella balls, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and grissini, and you have got yourself a feast.

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday said home minister P Chaidambaram's letter to West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee asking him to rein in armed cadres of the ruling Marxists was based on "proof and information".
"The union home minister, on the basis of proof and information, has sought the chief minister's opinion on certain issues. And he has also advised the chief minister to take action regarding some issues, which is a part of his (home minister's) duty and responsibility," Mukherjee told mediapersons here.
Chidambaram, in a letter to Bhattacharjee last week, said that complaints received by the central government "indicate that armed cadres of the CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) were deployed in a covert manner under the guise of village protection groups to guard against Naxal (Maoist) attacks".
"There is evidence to show that 'harmad' (hired killers) camps are mostly located in CPI-M party offices and houses of local CPI-M cadres. It is a matter of grave concern that these cadres have been provided with firearms," the home minister wrote.
Mukherjee said it was the duty of the chief minister to inform the union home minister what he had done and what he was willing to do.
"This is between the union home minister and the chief minister. We have no role to play in this," said Mukherjee.
In another missive Thursday, Chidambaram described the killings of political workers as "alarming" and said they pointed to a virtual collapse of law and order in parts of the state.
Bhattacharjee Friday accepted Chidambaram's invitation to visit New Delhi for talks on the state's law and order situation but said he was "unable to accept" the central minister's attitude towards Left Front workers.

Monitoring devices provide a hands-on tool for communities, industries and managers to adapt their practices when corrosive, or low pH, conditions occur. The Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) is funding technology development on both the East and West coasts for monitoring devices which allow shellfish hatcheries and grow out operations to know when corrosive conditions are present so that they can adapt their methods. OAP required that these projects involve a private industry partner that could move the devices to commercial production. Complementing coastal monitoring, real-time data from offshore buoys now act as an early warning system for shellfish hatcheries, signaling the approach of cold, low pH seawater a day or two before it arrives in the sensitive coastal waters where young oyster larvae are produced. The data have enabled hatchery managers to schedule production when water quality is good and avoid wasting valuable energy and other resources when water quality is poor. Other adaptation approaches taken by hatcheries have included adding soda ash to low pH waters to raise it to levels shellfish can tolerate.
In some cases, natural marine ecosystems and species may already have ways to shelter neighboring habitats and organisms from ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide from the seawater. Scientists at multiple NOAA facilities are investigating kelp as one of these biological tools to draw down carbon dioxide from local waters. OAP-funded scientists are studying kelp for this use in Puget Sound, where it can grow side by side with shellfish hatcheries to manage harmful effects of ocean acidification. Similarly, OAP-funded scientists are also studying the beneficial effects of seagrass for local populations of corals, which is leading to the development of coral reef management strategies to protect seagrass beds.
Iron fertilization is a controversial geoengineering approach suggested as a strategy to mitigate climate change. The approach entails adding iron to the oceans to stimulate a phytoplankton bloom, which would enhance the rate of carbon dioxide exchange from the atmosphere to the oceans. The effectiveness and feasibility of iron fertilization have been debated, but even if viable, this approach actually works directly counter to mitigating ocean acidification because it promotes the movement of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the ocean where it is the primary driver of ocean acidification. Research carried out by NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program has demonstrated that phytoplankton blooms actually generate low pH/high carbon dioxide conditions in the subsurface deep waters. This already commonly occurs in coastal waters in association with low oxygen conditions. So while iron fertilization may remain an area of interest as a potential climate mitigation strategy, it will exacerbate ocean acidification in coastal waters.
The United States Department of Agriculture and NOAA Sea Grant have supported research to develop oysters that are more resilient to ocean acidification. Through the Small Business Innovation Research program, NOAA has also funded work to identify and develop ocean acidification-resistent strains of red abalone.
To combat ocean acidification in Washington, the state needs to better track the changing chemistry of Puget Sound, reduce stormwater runoff and nutrient pollution that worsen the problem, and counteract souring waters by sprinkling shells in estuaries or growing more carbon-gobbling vegetation.
But above all, the state must advocate for regional, national and international policies to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions, according to authors of a first-of-its-kind report released Tuesday about the changing chemistry of Washington's marine waters.
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire on Tuesday ordered state agencies to take initial steps to combat ocean acidification, making it the first state to address problematic changes in ocean chemistry that threaten shellfish farms, wild-caught fish and other marine life.
Gregoire signed the executive order based on the recommendation of a blue ribbon panel of experts that pointed out how increasingly acidified waters pose a direct threat to the state's $270 million shellfish industry.
"A healthy ocean is critical to our health and our coastal economies," Gregoire said in a statement. "We have learned that human caused emissions of carbon dioxide are dramatically altering the ocean's chemistry at an alarming rate… Ocean acidification is yet another reason to quickly and significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide across the planet."
In the first state-level action of its kind, the governor of Washington today announced that her state will try to protect valuable shellfish industries and marine life from ocean acidification. Responding to a report that she requested, Governor Chris Gregoire said she has directed state agencies to take steps to reduce the pollutants that contribute to acidification. She also plans to ask the state legislature to establish a new acidification research center at the University of Washington (UW), Seattle.
SEATTLE -- Rising acidity levels in the oceans pose a serious threat to shellfish and other marine life, and tackling that problem in Washington state will require reducing carbon dioxide emissions, keeping polluted runoff out of marine waters, and increasing monitoring at hatcheries, a group of experts recommended Tuesday.
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire (D) ordered state agencies on Tuesday to take steps to address the ocean's increasing acidity, making it the first state to adopt a policy to take on what scientists describe as a growing environmental concern.
Ocean acidification poses a threat to the state's $270 million shellfish industry, as well as to critical habitat off its shores.

There are just so many things to see if you wander about - Scafell and Slight Side
Unless I intended to begin a walk from Wasdale Head itself, then this would be my first choice for parking at this end of the valley. It isn't that large of a parking area, but I always seem to have been lucky and managed to get a space here. Failing that the car park next to the camp site is only a stones throw away.
What a gorgeous morning.
Last night on the local news they seemed quite keen to tell everyone that it was 'officially' the first day of Autumn. I'm not sure what happened to Summer this year, but according to them is was now over anyway. As I looked down to Wast Water and across to Buckbarrow, Middle Fell and Seat Allen from the steep grassy fellside above Wasdale, it was actually more like Summer today than it was in June, July or August.
I seem to have done an awful lot of down hill walking today, but I was now on the final level section and heading back to Brackenclose.
Today's walk was possibly the most enjoyable I've done all Summer (or is it Autumn). Whatever the season I had perfect conditions, I only saw four other people and because I had no real plan in mind, I could wander around an area where there is just so much to see.

Simon Cowell was left "feeling like an idiot with his head in his hands" after finding out that Britain's Got Talent winner Jules O'Dwyer had used a doggy-double for that memorable tightrope stunt.
The trainer triumphed over magician Jamie Raven on Sunday night after wowing viewers with her clever dog Matisse. But it was later revealed that another collie, Chase, had performed the most heart-stopping part of her routine and then been hidden.
TV watchdog Ofcom received 507 complaints from voters believing they were "tricked", while ITV reported another 130.
ITV boss Peter Fincham claimed the decision not to come clean about the use of Chase was a "judgement call" but should have been made clearer, but lead judge Cowell was angrier about the "c**k up" and producers felt his wrath.
"The moment I found out I literally put my head in my hands. I spoke to a lot of people after and I did raise my voice," he told the Daily Mirror. "But it was mainly people owning up to it. They felt embarrassed, they felt frustrated, they felt stupid but you've got to man up to this stuff.
"The producers are absolutely gutted. I was so depressed for the show, for Jules and for the producers themselves because they are not horrible people. They didn't think how it would appear.
"I was frustrated because I didn't really know what I was judging until afterwards so I felt like a bit of an idiot."

Cowell added that no-one had intended to conceal Chase's involvement but regretted the "cloud" that now hangs over O'Dwyer.
"I want people to feel proud of her and that she did well and she should be happy," he said, after the 48-year-old won the £250,000 cash prize and a spot on the Royal Variety Performance line-up.
O'Dwyer has explained that she used Chase for the tightrope stunt because Matisse is scared of heights.
"I was disappointed when people said I allegedly hid Chase and I was trying to make it like Chase was Matisse," she said. "That's not so. I introduced Chase in the semi-final and I said Chase is Matisse's best mate. Why put the pressure on the dog when I already have another dog who can perform it on television?"
However, Chase was not brought out when O'Dwyer and Matisse faced the judges, something Cowell admits "should have happened".
Ofcom is assessing complaints before deciding whether or not to investigate.Reuse content
