TUVALU Prime Minister Enele Sosene Sopoaga has not rested. Barely settled at home after the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22) in Morocco in November, Sopoaga plunged straight into laying the platform for his country's inaugural Climate Resilience Week, while juggling an intense government budget debate in Tuvalu's national parliament.
"There is no time to waste. This is all part of building protective measures long term. We cannot just sit around and wait for outside help and that is why we must keep the momentum going from Paris as well as Morocco," says Sopoaga as he rounded up from yet another meeting, this time a strenuous week-long United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) regional meet in Suva in December.
Tuvalu is among those at the forefront of advocating for the inclusion of a legal mechanism to recognise the rights of persons displaced by climate change. "We are pushing for a Pacific Islands Insurance Facility for the region. There will be a specific formula which we are putting together as part of this based on things like the strength and damage of natural disasters and of course, easy access to those affected," Sopoaga says.

PROTESTS in Funafuti, capital of Tuvalu, against Tuvalu's newly appointed Chief Justice saw the deferment to March of a bi-election in the island's parliament. Strongly tipped to win his Vaitupu seat again is Apisai Ielemia, although the government of Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga has put up an opponent. A member of the opposition and being a former Prime Minister himself, Hon Ielemia lost his seat in a controversial ruling of Chief Justice Charles Sweeney in October last year. Sweeney, an Australian, was appointed by the Tuvalu Governor General at the beginning of 2016 to replace Sir Gordon Ward, who has been unable to travel to Tuvalu through Fiji due to a travel ban the Fiji regime had imposed against him.
He was President of Fiji's Court of Appeal until his resignation on December 2006 following the military coup that brought to power the then Fiji military commander Frank Bainimarama. Last November's peaceful protests by about 80 people of mostly men but with some women, young people and children was the second in recent months, all aimed at CJ Sweeney. Protestors carried banners and placards telling the Australian jurist he was no longer welcome to set foot again on Funafuti. Judge Sweeney was reportedly in Australia at the time.

A LANDMARK court case last May in Tuvalu which saw the jailing of a former prime minister who is a sitting opposition MP has ended abruptly when the island's high court declared the conviction as "manifestly unsafe," quashed the 12 month jail term and ordered no further court trials. In so doing, stand in Judge Norman Franzi of Melbourne, Australia expressed grave concerns at the behaviour of the current Prime Minister of Tuvalu Enele Sopoaga, and his deputy Maatia Toafa, also a former prime minister in the investigations of the case.
"I note in passing that two of Tuvalu's Prime Ministers took part in the preparation or investigation carried out for this case," said Judge Franzi. "I consider that contrary to the separate of powers in the Westminster System of Government. There is material in the appeal book volume 3 page 711 that indicated that [then] Prime Minster Maatia Toafa had coerced an email response from John Chen [a Taiwanese businessman].
"The email was tendered as an exhibit not as to the truth of its contents. In the Senior Magistrate's judgement the email was relied on as to the truth of its contents. Prime Minster Sopoaga in appeal book volume 1 at page 121 gave evidence recorded in the Senior Magistrate's notes that "I'm accountable to Tuvalu. I have every obligation to seek this information."

CONTROVERSY surrounds the appointment in Tuvalu of its new Chief Justice as questions are being raised about the close links between the appointee and the island's Prime Minister.
Australian barrister and Queens Counsel Charles Sweeney is Chief Justice of Tuvalu, succeeding Justice Sir Gordon Ward who tendered his resignation citing difficulties in performing his constitutional role because of a travel ban imposed against him by the Fijian Government. Fiji was displeased when Sir Gordon resigned as President of the Fiji Court of Appeal after the December 2006 military coup, and had refused to lift the travel ban every time Sir Gordon wanted to transit through Fiji in order to attend to court duties in Tuvalu.
Contacted two months ago, Tuvalu's Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga refused to respond to magazine questions about the perceived conflict of interest in the appointment of Sweeney to replace Sir Gordon, given that the Australian QC represented him and several of his cabinet ministers in a defamation case Sir Gordon, as Chief Justice presided over in 2011. Sopoaga and his colleagues as plaintiffs lost the case and got fined AU$50,000 for defamation.

FOR the first time in Tuvalu's 38 years as an independent nation, a former prime minister currently sitting as an opposition member-of- parliament has been convicted and jailed on corruption and abuse of office charges. Apisai Ielemia, Tuvalu's Prime Minister for four years from August 2006 to September 2010, was last month jailed for 12 months by Chief Magistrate Simon Kofe after finding him guilty on four counts of abuse of office.
However, in a rare departure from the norm, Chief Magistrate Kofe further ruled that the 12 month jail term should only be served during weekends. This frees Ielemia to continue to live with his family in Funafuti, the capital, during the week. And Islands Business has also been advised that he will be able to continue to serve as an MP.
The charges stemmed from the final year of Ielemia's term, where on four occasions starting in November 2009, the former leader received a total of AU$21,506.07 (US$15,524.52) from two foreign interests.
The money was deposited into his National Bank of Tuvalu personal account, which he admitted in his cautioned interview with the Tuvalu Police and again at trial. Ielemia said he used the money for the benefit of others.

PC Master (Greece)Aug 31, 2012Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is obviously a tablet game and if judged in comparison to PC titles, it falls behind in production values. This confirms the notion that tablet and smartphone games don't display the necessary depth to hold the gamer for long, however, when compared to the average tablet game, it really shines.

The setting, though to me it seems outside the Lovecraft Landscape, seems to fit in with the various creatures/enemies encountered during play. As some other people have said on different sites, the game ends far too soon, but replaying it doesnt seem to get boring. A limitation on the number of items you can carry does force the player to make do with what they have. I encountered a couple of crashes, though nothing critical (mostly when trying to retart a level immediately after launching the game). A minor annoyance is how the view re-focuses on the selected player following an action (in many cases, thats not a bad thing, but there are occasions when it irritates you (Ill confess, I havent really messed around much with any hotkeys, so there may be a simple method around some of my nit-picking). Overall, though, I really enjoy the game, and place it in the category of Torchlight. And, the price is definitely a bargain.… Expand

YouA thrilling turn-based strategy/RPG based on Chaosium's classic pen and paper game and set in the gripping nightmarish setting of WW1. You control spellcasters and soldiers intent on thwarting a mad scientist, Kaul, who seeks to build an undead army out of the war's dead people. Some have made a fuss about its controls; however they are clearly explained in the game's short tutorial.
A remarkable indie title that becomes even more worthwhile with Kaul's Diary, a DLC (now integrated in the Steam version), which serves as prequel and in which you play the evil side!… Expand

Unlike real CoC, you are in battle all of the time and thereIf you are old and liked D&D Tomb of Horrors buy this. Most will want to avoid. Unlike real CoC, you are in battle all of the time and there is little RPG to this.
The setting is a WWI battlefield which I don't remember Lovecraft writing about. Also, you lose sanity every time you attack a supernatural monster, as well as lose health as you cross through areas of nerve gas. So, if the baddies don't kill you, the gas and loss of sanity certainly will.
The game mechanic/engine has issues too... it's often hard to click right where you want to take action. Also, some clicks on the edges of the screen to trigger character actions/activities inexplicably go through to the map that's "below" (underneath) the user interface. I send several of my characters wandering in unhelpful directions before I learned to pay attention.
Unfortunately, searching for a solid Call of Cthulhu is a bit like unicorn hunting. This game gets parts of the atmosphere right, but the parts that are lacking override the experience for me. If you are a die-hard pen and paper person, you'll probably want to avoid this one unless you buy it at deep discount for a "what they hey" deal.… Expand

Siri Has Best Response For Anyone Still Calling Caitlyn Jenner 'Bruce'

Siri hasn't been very nice this week, but she may be having a change of heart.
It was recently discovered the iPhone assistant stands up for Caitlyn Jenner.
Apparently, if you ask Siri something using Caitlyn's former name, she will correct you. She no longer recognizes Bruce Jenner as a person.
Also, if you ask about Bruce Jenner's gender, Siri doesn't mess around. She simply says Jenner's gender is female.
Whoever is programming Siri these days knows exactly what he or she is doing. Good work, Apple.
Siri takes a stand for Caitlyn Jenner.
And she respects Caitlyn's transition without question.

In order to become a skilled knife thrower, you must be able to have very quick reflexes. You need this in order to throw your knife very quickly at your target as some of your targets are going to be very fast moving. In other words, you need to build up a lot of speed and also mental reflex in dire situations so you're able to hit those targets that're unpredictable. Without quick reflexes, you wouldn't be able to hit your target very effectively.
Another attribute of being a skilled knife thrower is the ability to be very precise and hit the target 9 out of 10 times. Without this feature, it'd be pointless for you to miss the target multiple times and only hit it only once or twice. A good way to improve your precision is to first analyze the target and try to get as close as possible. It takes some critical thinking in order to be get close enough with your knife, but you need to make your mind think faster with fast moving targets. Basically, you need both a quick and analytical mind.
Finally, you need to always be calm when focusing your knife on the target. You don't want to hit the wrong target or possibly injure yourself. You need to be calm because you've a dangerous weapon in your hand and it could affect people if you lose your cool. If you're not able to keep calm or you're in an extremely bad mood, I suggest you rest and chill for a while, and stay away from weapons for about a week or so until you're in a better emotional state.
How long it takes for people to be a skilled knife thrower depends on their quick capacity to throw very precisely and pick up on the fly. It also depends on how quick your reflexes were before the training, along with your ability to keep your cool during some of the most dangerous situations. I said this because people's learning capacities are going to be at different speeds and have different ways of target practice. It takes time and patience to master knife throwing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VSJS from cute, comfortable dress I was looking for a comfortable, simple dress to wear at home and out for casual occasions. I normally wear a size 6 and the small isn't snug at all. The darker color seemed a better choice b/c it should transition into the fall with leggings or tights.

Rosamund Kwan denies cancer rumours
Hong Kong actress Rosamund Kwan issued an official statement yesterday to refute rumours that she has been diagnosed with cancer. A Hong Kong magazine previously reported in 1994 that she had been diagnosed with a small tumour in her pituitary gland.
Although her condition is not life-threatening, Rosamund needs to undergo half-yearly check-ups. Last month, her rumoured boyfriend of five years, Chen Tai Ming was spotted accompanying her to the clinic and cancer speculations surfaced online.
The 51-year-old clarified at an event last Tuesday that trip was just for a dental check-up, not her usual body check-up. On Sunday (Sept 14), Chen Shan Shi, manager of several celebrities, helped clear the air on Weibo as well, but to no avail.
Rosamund could not tolerate it anymore and finally issued an official statement in hopes that the public will stop spreading these gossips.
"To all readers and the public, I'm writing this in response to the ongoing cancer rumours by Hong Kong magazine Oriental Sunday and several online media outlets. Those reports are considered slander and I make it clear that those are false. I'm healthy and not down with cancer.
The reports have disrupted the lives of me and my family. I hope the media can understand and respect the rights a human has, and stop spreading similar rumours in future to stop hurting us. I possess the right to take legal actions against media agencies or individuals. Thank you for all your concern."
Rosamund Kwan attended Kenny Bee's Bali wedding
Rosamund Kwan plans to remain unmarried for whole life?

Comprehensive Eye Care
Comprehensive eye care involves 1) a thorough evaluation of the visual system, 2) diagnosis of disease, and 3) management of the total patient. This is within the domain of an ophthalmologist who is a physician and surgeon having an M.D. degree. (S)he specializes in medical and surgical diseases of the eye. Often, disorders of the visual system are a result of other problems in the body that can be recognized only by those who are medically trained. Many times, your ophthalmologist will have to collaborate with your regular medical doctor or perhaps other specialists in your care.
1. Comprehensive Evaluation of the Eye and Visual System: Such an evaluation not only requires an examination of the eye and surrounding tissues, but may involve analysis of the entire visual system. The visual system consists of the eye, optic nerve, nerve connections to the brain, and the brain itself. As the eye picks up light from an object, those impulses are transmitted from the eye, through the optic nerve and its connections through many parts of the brain, and finally to the part of the brain that sees (occipital lobe). The brain is a huge computer, and it is here where those electrical impulses from the eyeball itself are "decoded" into what we know as "vision." Any interruption along the visual pathway, eyeball to brain, can result in loss of vision.
Evaluation of the eyeball starts with a measurement of your vision both distant and near, and also a test of your color vision. A refraction is then done looking for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. Examination of your pupillary responses, your muscle balance and alignment, and your side vision are done. The surrounding tissues and supporting structures and evaluated for any asymmetry of abnormality. A SLIT LAMP exam is then done which allows microscopic evaluation of the internal eye structures and surrounding tissues.
|A dilated exam is one of the most fundamental aspects of a complete eye exam.
A glaucoma pressure check is done, and a dilated exam often follows looking for cataracts, retinal and optic nerve abnormalities, retinal circulatory disturbances from diabetes, macular degeneration, and others. If abnormalities are found, additional testing may be necessary.
It is said that the eyes are the window to the nervous system. This means that the visual system has such extensive representation in the brain that virtually anything that happens inside the head will result in some abnormality through the eyes. The abnormality could show through abrupt loss of vision, reduced vision or color vision, double vision, an abnormality in peripheral (side) vision, disturbances in pupillary function, problems with how the eyes move or align together, poor ocular coordination, jerky eye movements, light sensitivity, and others. If there is suspicion that there is a neurologic problem, further evaluation can be done with scans, a variety of lab tests, and consultations with other specialists.
2. Diagnosis: Diagnosis is possible only after a good history, review of past history, previous medical problems, medications that you may be taking, etc. a thorough clinical evaluation, and review of any additional tests. For difficult diagnoses, consultation with other physicians may be necessary. In all cases, a thorough understanding of systemic diseases of the body and how they affect the eyes is critical.
|Schematic drawing of the part of the eye responsible for critical central vision. The macular area is really less than 1mm (1/16th of an inch). Diseases of the macula can result in macular degeneration.
Example of "tunnel vision" seen with diseases such as Retinitis Pigmentosa. Diseases of the Occipital Lobe (part of the brain responsible for vision) can also cause tunnel vision.
3. Treatment of the WHOLE Patient: Dealing with blindness and other visual disorders requires dealing with the whole patient, their aspirations, lifestyles, and helping to work out workable solutions to allow them to be as independent and functional as possible despite their visual handicap.
Example of "legal" blindness. Blindness isn't only total absence of vision such as being in a dark room. There are many forms of blindness such as color blindness, night blindness, etc.
Legal blindness is vision less than 20/200 on a standard Snellen eye chart. This patient had advanced cataract disease.
It also involves an understanding of body disease, how it affects the eyes in late stages, and how to intervene BEFORE disease destroys vision. This often involves close collaboration between the ophthalmologist and other medical specialties. Diabetic eye disease is an excellent example of how the team approach among medical disciplines help control the disease and monitor for progression that could ultimately rob a patient of their eyesight.

Neith and the Acacia Tree
In historical times Neith gained prominence as her city Sais rose in influence during the seventh century BCE, but Neith was probably worshiped in Lower Egypt long before dynasties or agriculture, when people still hunted for food. The crossed arrows on her crown probably originated as a hunting emblem, and may also relate to the defensive stinger of the bee and the defensive thorns on the acacia. Primarily Neith is a goddess of sustenance, engaged in the perpetual creation of life. Out of just one tree she created incense, perfume, wood for implements, seedpods for cattle, pigment binder for ink and paint, materials for embalming and food for bees, not to mention welcome shade in a hot dry climate.SourcesBarrett, Clive.

Aphrodite and the Myrtle Tree
The Sacred Fruit of Persephone
The autumn equinox coincides with the start of the major ceremonies of the Eleusinian mysteries. These ceremonies, which in Greco-Roman times attracted a huge number of attendees from all over the Mediterranean, guide participants into a deeper understanding of Persephone's descent into the underworld. There are several versions of the myth of Persephone, which is too long to explain in detail here. The gist of it is that Persephone as a maiden goddess or "Kore" is painting flowers in a meadow when the earth opens up and the death god Hades abducts her. He demands that she stay in the underworld with him as his wife and queen and refuses to let her leave. Persephone's mother Demeter is inconsolable and neglects her duties as mother of vegetation, leaving crops to wither from lack of rain. As the earth becomes more and more parched, the gods become alarmed, and finally the chief god Zeus orders Hades to relinquish his captive. Unfortunately Persephone has eaten a pomegranate seed while in the underworld, and the laws there decree that no one who takes food in the land of the dead may return to the living. Given the urgency of the situation, a compromise is nevertheless reached: Persephone will spend four months of every year in the underworld with Hades and will spend the rest of her time on earth with her mother Demeter. From Apollodorus:
When Zeus commanded Pluto [Hades] to send Core [Kore] back up, Pluto gave her a pomegranate seed to eat, as assurance that she would not remain long with her mother. With no foreknowledge of the outcome of her act, she consumed it… Persephone was obliged to spend a third of each year with Pluto, and the remainder of the year among the gods.
Persephone's return to the upper world in February coincides with the lesser ceremonies of Eleusis.In addition to explaining the fallow period of the agricultural year, Persephone's myth is believed to be an account of the merger of the Hellenic (Indo-European) pantheon with a much older one. The rape motif in the story underscores that the Hellenic takeover was a violent one that wrested power from women. In the words of Robert Graves, "It refers to male usurpation of the female agricultural mysteries in primitive times."The pre-patriarchal Persephone was probably a triple goddess, with the maiden Kore her manifestation in early spring, the mother Demeter her mature aspect, and the queen of the underworld her death aspect. Note that Mediterranean goddesses were rarely depicted as hags or crones, even in their death aspect.Persephone's symbols are many, but we are confining our attention here to the pomegranate. This tree, which is native to Afghanistan and surrounding regions, has been cultivated for at least 5000 years. It is probable that the fruit was traded even earlier, since pomegranates keep well and their flavor is enhanced during storage. Pomegranate trees grow easily from seed. They thrive in hot, semi-arid conditions, even in poor soil. After the pomegranate flowers, the burgeoning fruit has a pronounced crown. The fleshy red seeds are sectioned by membranes that are cavernous in appearance. The cave is a symbol of both the underworld and the womb. Red is the color of blood, the womb, and birth. Many ancient people in the Mediterranean and elsewhere painted dead bodies with the red mineral ocher to symbolize rebirth. Of course, seeds also symbolize birth, and the plethora of seeds inside the pomegranate make it an emblem of fertility.Provocative symbolism aside, the pomegranate is a useful fruit. The seeds have a pleasant, astringent taste that is not overly sweet. The seeds have long been used to treat tapeworms, and the rind can sooth irritated skin. The rind is also used to dye cloth yellow. The sacred trees of major goddesses usually have a long history of generosity to humans.SourcesApollodorus. The Library of Greek Mythology.

Good for Nothing But Luck and Friendship
The Isle of Apples
Sweet apple-tree of delicate bloomThat grows in concealment in the woods,…While my reason had not strayed, I rested by its sideWith a fair gleeful maiden of perfect slender form.
— Black Book of Caermarthen XVII
These words, attributed to Merlin, are part of a spell invoking the aid of the apple tree in defense against a Saxon invasion. The "gleeful maid" refers to the womanly aspect of Nimue (NEE-way), who appears in Welsh romances as Merlin's apprentice and sometime nemesis. Nimue is the white goddess of the Otherworld who brings sweetness and sometimes death. The apple tree is not so much her symbol as her manifestation. The Celts of the British Isles envisioned the afterlife as an island covered with apple trees in perpetual bloom.The flowers of the apple tree have a heady, pervasive fragrance that attracts legions of bees. The ripe fruit, which also has a strong pleasant odor, is fermented with honey to make traditional mead, the intoxicating gift of this lovely goddess. Trees which attract bees are usually associated with an important goddess, while goddesses associated with sweet-smelling flowers are often death goddesses. (The decaying corpse has a sweet odor.) Goddesses (and gods) associated with death are often revered by the shaman, because divination and magic require moving into incorporeal space. Intoxicating substances are sometimes used as tools for shamanic visioning, and this visioning is compared to a state of intoxication even when substances are not used. Small wonder that Nimue permeates the legends of the great magician Merlin!The apple tree, which is a member of the rose family, originated in central Asia but was cultivated widely in the early agricultural societies. The tree must be grafted to produce a reliable fruit; most apples grown from seed are sour or bitter. It is not known when the first apple was cultivated in Wales. Many assume the apple tree came with the Roman occupation, but this does not appear to be supported. A white flowering crabapple is native to the British Isles, so the legends may have originally grown around this tree. How long apple (or crabapple) trees have been worshiped in the region also cannot be known. The romances were penned by Christians in the seventh through the eleventh centuries, and the Celts absorbed a great deal from pre-Celtic cultures in their settlement areas. The hawthorn might also have been a precursor or stand-in for the apple. In one story Nimue imprisons Merlin in a tower of hawthorn bushes. The hawthorn is closely related to the wild crabapple: both are members of the rose family, both have white flowers, both bear small fruit, and both have thorns.The apple remains an important ingredient of modern witchcraft, especially prominent in Halloween rituals. The fruit is cut through its equator and placed on the altar flesh side up, so the five-pointed star in the center can be seen. This is the source of the sacred pentagram.SourcesMatthew, Caitlin and John. Ladies of the Lake. London: Thorsons, 1992.Meyer, Kuno, trans. Voyage of Bran. From sacred-texts.com.

The Cedar Forest
They stood at the edge of the Cedar Forest,marveling at the great height of the trees.They could see, before them, a well marked trailbeaten by Humbaba as he came and went.Far off they saw the Cedar Mountain,sacred to Ishtar, where the gods dwell,the slopes of it steep, and rich in cedarswith their sharp fragrance and pleasant shade.
— Gilgamesh, Stephen Mitchell, trans.
Extensive cedar forests once covered Lebanon, Western Syria and parts of Turkey. Cedars in this region are known as Lebanon Cedars and are not closely related to the many other trees around the world called cedar, such as the White Cedar, which is a cypress, or the Red Cedar, which is a juniper. What trees bestowed with the name cedar seem to have in common is an aromatic wood resistant to insects and to rot. They may also have a fine resin; the Lebanon Cedar resin was exported to Ancient Egypt for embalming.It was to the great cedar forests west of Mesopotamia that the hero Gilgamesh and his partner Enkidu journeyed on what was essentially a timber raid. In order to take the trees, the giant tree guardian Humbaba, servant of the god Enlil, had to be vanquished. Humbaba is a protective deity whose image is displayed in Mesopotamian seals and wall plaques. Gilgamesh relished the thought of slaying Humbaba, at least at the onset of the journey. He did have attacks of cowardice as the confrontation grew near, yet he overcame his terror and killed the giant. With Humbaba out of the way, the heroes cut choice trees from the forest, binding the logs together to make a raft. They decided to set aside the best cedar for a giant door in Enlil's temple — a good move, since Enlil was displeased about the slaying of his servant. Interestingly, the deity who did not seem miffed with the lumber thieves and giant murderers was Ishtar, the one whose forest had been plundered. When Gilgamesh returned to his city, she asked him to be her lover, offering him jewels, a chariot and a large cedar house.Ishtar is the Mesopotamian deity who brought prosperity, technology, music, dancing, writing and many other gifts to humanity. She is a generous goddess, unlike her father Enlil who can sometimes be stingy or destructive. She delights in helping civilization to flourish. Ishtar is usually categorized as a fertility goddess, or a goddess or sexual love, which is certainly true, but it does not capture her complete essence. She is like cedar wood, a pervasive fragrance instinctively drawn in. With her concern for providing well for her cities, she would have naturally choosen to bestow a tree with a long lasting wood ideal for building. SourcesBlack, Jeremy and Anthony Green.

Behind the Olive Branch
The Linden Prophesy
The tree goddess this week is the Latvian Laima (pronounced like the first word in "lima bean"). Her Lithuanian name is Laime. Be careful not to get her confused with the fairy goddess Lauma or the Greek Lamia.Laima is associated with many trees, but especially the linden; many birds, but especially the cuckoo; and many animals, but especially the cow. Laima is the goddess of birth, fertility, fate and prosperity — goddess qualities that seem to go together. Laima measures the length of the day, the length of a lifespan, the length of a spell of good luck. I have a mental picture of her flying around with a wooden ruler measuring things. ("Baby girl, you are going to be this tall.")The linden is the tree more commonly known as the basswood in the United States and the lime in England. It has soft wood used for musical instruments and a pliable bark used for basket weaving. It is a choice wood for carving. The sweet smelling flowers of the linden are brewed for respiratory and urinary infections. The flowers attract insects, particularly bees, which produce a honey prized for flavor and medicinal qualities. The insects in turn attract birds, as does the linden fruit.The bird Laima favors is the cuckoo. The reappearance of the Common Cuckoo from her African migration marks the beginning of spring in Europe, and the cuckoo is said to prophesy by her number of calls. According to Marija Gimbutas, "Another folk belief relates that the tree on which the cuckoo sits becomes sacred and imbued with the powers of the goddess. If a person peels a piece of bark or breaks a branch of this tree, he or she will know the cuckoo's prophesies."The cow is the special animal of Laima, also associated with the linden tree. Laima presides over the birth of calves, usually by appearing in the stall as a black snake or a black hen or even a black bug. In one song she appears in the cow stall as a linden tree:
A branchy linden tree grewIn my cattle stall.This was not a linden tree,This was Laima of my cows.
Laima produces goats and sheep from her other trees:
All roadsides were covered with Laima's trees:From a birch a ewe was born,From an aspen-tree, a little goat.
It is common in Euro-shamanism for land animals to have a bird form. Here we have sheep and goats with tree forms.Of course Laima also measures the length of a woman's pregnancy and presides at the birth of children. She governs the bathhouse and sauna where Latvian women traditionally gave birth. In this role she takes the form of a woman with braided hair bearing linden branches.
Why so swift Mother LaimaWith linden twigs in your hand?To still the tears of a young brideWho came last year to our land.
Laima can appear as one goddess, three goddesses, or as many as seven. In various aspects she may be given different titles, such as "Cow Laima" or "Fate Laima." This is interesting in the context of the linden tree, because its trunk often looks like it has multiple trunks fused together. The American Basswood has several distinct trunks rising from a single base. The linden tree exemplifies the idea of the goddess who is many and one.Sources:Evans, Erv.

Éric Lapierre Appointed as Chief Curator of 2019 Lisbon Architecture Triennale
The Trienal de Lisboa have today announced that a team of nine, led by Parisian architect Éric Lapierre, has been appointed as the curatorial team of the 5th edition of Lisbon Architecture Triennale which will be held from October to December 2019. Lapierre, who runs the Masters in Architecture & Experience at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture in Marne-la-Vallée, Paris, will collaborate with philosopher Sébastien Marot, who is also a critic in architecture and landscape design. Other members of the curatorial team include Ambra Fabi, Giovanni Piovene, Mariabruna Fabrizi, Fosco Lucarelli, Laurent Esmilaire, Tristan Chadney, and Vasco Pinelo de Melo. A grand total of 48 proposals were submitted to the organization, comprising 155 participants from 16 countries.
Double Degree International Master's Program - European Architecture
The postgraduate programme is a unique and innovative approach to international architectural education: it combines the idea of the classical artist journey with the intensive, interdisciplinary and project-oriented workshop tradition and team-work, focusing on acute topics generating architectural knowledge and dialogue across greater Europe between cities as Tallinn, Lisbon, Helsinki, Berlin, Dessau, Ljubljana, Innsbruck and Haifa.
The Singularity of the Skyscraper: Studies in Form and Façade
Florian W. Mueller's Singularity series is, in the photographer's own words, "just the building – reduced to the max." These deceptively simple shots of the summits of skyscrapers from around Europe and North America, each set against in infinite gradient of sky, are symbols of architecture's effort to reach ever higher in evermore unique ways. For Mueller, who is based in Cologne, they are an attempt at abstraction. In isolation—and especially when viewed together—they are remarkably revealing as studies of form and façade.

Usually hosted by the Dean of the GSAPP, Amale Andraos, the conversations also feature the school's influential faculty and alumni and give students the opportunity to engage architects on issues of concern to the next generation.
Watch AL_A's MAAT Museum in Lisbon Shimmer in this 4K Timelapse Video
Located along banks of the Tagus in the Lisbon neighborhood of Belém, AL_A's recently completed Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology (MAAT) has brightened up the Lisbon waterfront with its sleek form and glimmering materiality since its opening last October. These qualities have now been captured in a 4K timelapse video by photographer and filmmaker Alejandro Villanueva. The video shows how the building's presence transforms throughout the day, as the sun reflects off of its unique ceramic facade.

AL_A's Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology Photographed by Francisco Nogueira
This past September, the Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology (MAAT) opened in Lisbon. Funded by the Fundação EDP, the museum was designed by Amanda Levete and sits on the banks of the Tejo river.
Portuguese photographer Francisco Nogueira captured the building's spaces in this comprehensive gallery of images. The MAAT proposes a new relationship between the river and the visitor through a building whose simultaneous power and sensitivity explores the convergence of contemporary art, architecture, and technology. As a structure in the landscape, the building becomes landscape by allowing visitors to walk over and on the museum itself. See here 70 stunning photos of MAAT's interiors and exteriors.

Filming architecture comes to Lisbon, Portugal! This is an academic itinerant workshop about architecture representation and narratives through cinematography, and will be part of the closing activities of the 2016 Lisbon Architecture Triennale. As the final product, students will produce a short movie filmed at a Museu dos Coches, a paradigmatic building designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Ricardo Bak Gordon.
Experience "The Form of Form" at the 2016 Lisbon Architecture Triennale in 360°
The 2016 Lisbon Architecture Triennale, which opened last week, is comprised of a constellation of exhibitions and satellites. One such show—eponymously named The Form of Form—is both an exhibition and a structure in itself – a sequence of rooms designed collaboratively by Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee, Kersten Geers of Office KGDVS, and Nuno Brandão Costa. If "one of architecture's fundamental legacies is its own form," the curatorial statement declares, "this exhibition [builds] a dialogue that challenges notions of authorship and the limits of form."

You can have any number of personally detailed golf accessories. Customized golf equipment, accessories or paraphernalia is a wonderful gift ideal for the golfer in your life. It is also a wonderful purchase for your own golf needs. Golf clubs alone have some original accessories that are easily found and made more special with personal touches.
The idea of personalizing golf equipment can begin with the gold bag that carries the precious cargo of your clubs. Monograms stitched into the leather or canvas is an unobtrusive way to show ownership and also to personalize. Using monogrammed golf towels or using golf balls with your name on them is a great way to personalize the golf scene without being tacky or presumptuous. And you never know when a large bag of discount personalized golf tees could really come in handy.
Golf clubs with the owners name engraved in them is the beginning of a long list of wonderful personalized and customized golf equipment. Needing golf clubs that vary from the ordinary in height, length or strength is what customizing is all about. You will discover there is a whole retail world out there that thrives on customization. Golf clubs are indeed just the beginning.
Golf apparel is no exception to the personal side of golf. Comfortable and affordable clothes, shoes, hats and umbrellas are just a few of the enormous choices available for personalized golf. With discount and wholesale golf apparel shops offering every affordable style is made available to the golfing public there is no reason not to be original in your appearance on the golf course.
So many great gift ideas come to mind when you think about customizing and personalizing golf equipment. Head covers can boast the family crest or they can even be a knitted gift from your teenage daughters for your birthday. Either way they are equally cherished for their unique sentimental value.
Customizing your vacation to include a home rented in advance in Augusta, Georgia for a personal view of the Masters can be an amazing way to show your loyalty to the sport of golf. Being up close and personal to such an event is something planned well in advance and could be in some cases a once in a lifetime occurrence. Customized and personalized can go hand in hand and need not be so expensive. Creating your own tournament for a good cause is always a fun project for the entire family or helpful organization.
Customizing your golf accessories can range from the practical to the outrageous. Installing seat warmers or air conditioners in your golf car might seem a little extravagant to some people. If you are serious about your golf these accessories and customizations are deemed a necessity. A seat warmer or range finder may seem trivial in comparison to some extravagant examples. Golf cars that look like the SUV in your driveway may seem a little excessive. If you have the money to indulge in such luxuries than so be it. Who said a Rolls Royce golf car was over the top

Thank goodness for Overstock! I am just thrilled with this comforter set. It is a very good quality material, is beautiful on my daybed and everyone who sees it loves it. The price even makes me love it more. It was delivered in a reasonable time frame.Read More
I absolutely love this daybed set. It's very heavy and think, great quality. I haven't washed it yet so I'm not sure how it will hold up on that end but I'm sure it will hold up fine.Read More
I like nice things, not apologising, I just do! So in looking for a daybed set I didn't think it would be difficult to find one, but it truly was a process. I had purchased another daybed set prior to finding this one and returned it right away...it was literally one sheet of fabric and not inexpensive either. So, I ended up waiting weeks for this set to be back in-stock and praying it would be, and thankfully it was! I knew this would be perfect and the quality is excellent (good weight to it as well, which is what I look for in bedding) and it looks fantastic in my spare bedroom. This product was exactly what I was looking for and worth the money (remember you get 10 pieces...the pillows and pillow cases are very nice too!). Very happy with this entire set and I think others will be as well. Hope this review helps you as much as other reviews have helped me throughout this painstaking process. Thank you!Read More
This set really brightens my guest room/den. It was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a "Parisian vibe" and this is the perfect cover set. I have lots of extra standard sized pillows but no queen sized ones. I was able to fit two of my less fluffy pillows into each of the queen sized covers and they look perfect. The set was out of stock so I had to wait. Definitely worth the wait!Read More
Beautiful daybed set. Lots of pillows, but I solved the crowding issue by using the Euro pillows across the back, and the two regular pillows at each end. It looks great. High-quality materials, perfect sizing, crisp colors, worth the cost. Would definitely recommend.Read More
Quality is excellent. It is not soft fabric though ... A little stiff. You will need three 28" euro sham inserts (I ordered from """") and 2 king pillows for the other shams. I bought the set for my 19 yr old daughter who has a daybed in her college apt and it looks great. It is a little pricey ... It cost more than the daybed! But Worth the price.Read More
Great product, fast shipping, and beautiful comforter set with so many accessories! We love it!Read More
The Arbor daybed set looks awesome in our guest bedroom. The set is nice and thick and we just love the pillows. I also purchased the shower curtain for our guest bathroom.Read More
This daybed set was just what I needed for my office/bedroom. The walls are green and the black and white give this area an elegant look. I also ordered the valance to go on my window. Would have preferred the longer version curtains pictured with the daybed set, but did not see them as an option to buy.Read More
Quality fabric with an excellent fit. It looks exactly as pictured. I am very happy. This was my first purchase and I know I'll be back!Read More
I received my daybed comforter set. It is wonderful! It looks exactly as pictured. It arrived on time with no problems. It was great quality and I love to walk by the room and look in ... very expensive looking ....Read More
Looks fabulous!! A liittle pricey for a daybed but we are selling our house and it delivers the WOW factor!! I also bought the window covering to match. To buy the Euro pillow fillers was about $20 each. Beautifully made, very nice material. I would be scared to wash maybe dryclean instead so colours dont run.Read More
Nice looking and feeling set for the most part but the striped pieces came faded....Overstock replaced them no hassle right away and were great to work with. I'm excited to use it in my new apt.Read More
This is exactly as shown. Though it has been used much of this writing, the comforter is warm and all 10 pieces looked to be solidly constructed. I could do probably with one or less pillows, it.s attractive and smart looking.Read More
Beautiful ! The fabric is excellent !! The workmanship is superior to most items I find anywhere. I applaud Overstock. com for offering such great products !!Read More
The shipment arrived promptly and was exactly how it was shown. Good quality fabric and looks wonderful on daybed. Now considering purchasing matching valance for window.Read More
My daughter decided to downsize from her queen bed, which was decked out in a very similar set, to a daybed. I spent quite a bit of time researching before I came across this set. Since she is using the bed daily, I really can't use all the extra pillows or she would have no room to sit, but this really has everything you need. I replaced a couple of the European shams with ones in Tiffany blue from her queen set to tie in that color. I do wish the long curtains shown in the picture were available, but I ordered the valance and it works nicely.Read More
The comforter set was everything we had expected: well made, attractive, exactly as it was advertised.Read More
fabulous set! looks great with the red drapes i bought from overstock. you get tons of pillows and the set is large for the price. arrived in 2 days.Read More
I bought the daybed set for the "look" and I was delighted by the quality of the material and the construction of the pillows, etc.Read More

Some of the early victims find out all too late that the 40-foot
Plesiosaur is not the placid, gentle giant that minds its own business
paddling around the Loch as we've been told, but a rampaging monolith
with an attitude that likes to waddle its way out of the water, wreck
boats, roar like a foghorn, chase victims, bite them in half (it
doesn't eat them whole, for whatever reason), dismember, decapitate,
And it swam its way through some "undersea tunnel" (about 4,000 miles long?) from Scotland's Loch Ness to North America's Lake Ontario. No, really. It did. A vengeful scientist. a cross of Capt. Ahab and Indy Jones, wants to get even with the thing, having witnessed it devour his dad and two other men. The guy comes complete with all the clichés: an Australian safari hat, enough fire power to blow up a city, and he mumbles when he talks.
The movie plays like a remake of Lake Placid, which in turn was an apparent satire of Jurassic Park and Jaws type flicks. However, this one seems to want to take itself seriously. The actors play it this way, and make most of the characters work (even the clichéd ones).
The biggest problem was shoddy CGI. In one attack sequence, for example, Nessie decapitates its victim. Nessie's animation is so obviously pasted on to the picture it makes you laugh. Even phonier looking is the resulting "blood spray" which looks like somebody blew up a bottle of Cherry Soda (and pasted that in poorly, as well).
Decently entertaining, and at least it was free.

Quotes of the Day for 2 October 2003 – Groucho
Julius Henry Marx was born at New York City on this day in 1890, we know him as Groucho. At age fifteen he was the first of the brothers to start a stage career, twice the rest of his troupe disappeared in the night and left him to pay the bills. It may have been this that led to his hunger for material success, in turn driving the careers of the Marx Brothers. (This was reinforced by their mother's social ambitions and Chico's perennial financial distress from gambling.) Groucho kept his eyebrows raised and jabbed with his cigar to punctuate his rapier wit.
You will find an expanded profile, photo, additional biographical links, and all quotes from this author on the author's Notable Quotable page.
The quotes:
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Here's to our wives and girlfriends: May they never meet!
I have nothing but confidence in you, and very little of that.
I sent the club a wire stating, "Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."
Now there's a man with an open mind - you can feel the breeze from here!
I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
- All from Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx, 1890 - 1977
