Yuzen Japanese Restaurant is one of the hidden jewel which is located at Damansara Perdana. The restaurant brings us with the delicious good food where it is lead by Chef Machi who had spent years in Japan learning the culinary skills there.
Taking over the previous restaurant- Mikan; Yuzen Japanese Restaurang bring you with the cozy ambience and a modern contemporary design. With the small sushi bar showcasting some of the live catches, they also have some private rooms. Being a 10 months old restaurant, Yuzen is definite to brings you with all the delicious sushi.
Stated off with the Sashimi Wakame (RM 12) is where the fresh seaweed is marinated with the homemade blend soyu and topped with the fresh cutted octopus. I love the way it is done which brings us with the appetizing taste and every mouthful is sinfully delicious.
Tamago Sushi (RM 6.00)
Well done sushi roll which is topped with the savory mayo sauce on top. Deliciously done.
Crab Meat Chawan Mushi (RM 10.00)
The sweet, smooth and and creamy custard-like chawanmushi is awesomely good. Chef Machi makes them daily with the flavourful stock broth of chicken bones, Japanese leek, cabbage, carrots, ginger, onions and garlic boiled for 6 hours are used to make the base broth for chawanmushi. What's more is Chef Machi had make additional mile with the topped of fresh crab on top making the chawanmushi much better.
Next is the Salmon which is topped with the citrus pepper and ikura. It brings up the wholesome taste of the moist and fresh salmon with the twist of zestiness in it. Nice!
Surume Ika Teriyaki (RM 18.50)
Well seasoned Japanese Squid which is being grilled till perfection. Served with the Chef Machi's inhouse homemade squid roe sauce which is made from the squid ink and roe. The squid come simply chewy and addictive too. Being a squid fans, one plate is not enough for me.
Cha Soba (RM 15)
The cold noodles which is served with the quill egg and thinly slice seaweed, wasabi, scallions as well a bowl of soy-based dashi broth with it. Mixed the quill egg together with seaweed and scallions in the broth. Using chopsticks, the diner picks up a small amount of soba from the tray and dips it in the cold tsuyu before eating it. Wasabi and scallions are often mixed into the tsuyu. The cha soba comes simply appetizing and delicious with the slurpy noodles.
Teriyaki Chicken(RM RM13.50)
The chicken is being seep fried to light crispiness and it is topped with the special in house blended teriyaki sauce with it. It has a nice creamy texture and the teriyaki sauce compliments well with the chicken.

Several of these predictions are older predictions that they are now reminding us of, which means they are coming soon.
I heard sirens going off, warning people that tornados were coming. Then it shifted to show 4 sirens, and 4 TV screens showing the storms.
In Alabama.. In Tennessee.. tornados and storms rip through.. heavy destruction.. very soon.
The previous prediction World Predictions 2-5-19 They implied a timeframe between the 17th-19th.
The Mississippi river will flood.. the homes around the area extensively damaged.
I had a visual I was looking down from the sky, there were beach huts and beach umbrellas swept away from a massive wave of water. "Tsunami.. Taiwan.. Islands.. in 5 day.." (They said day. Are they saying the 5th or a timeframe around the 22nd?)
Previous Tsunami Prediction: World Predictions 1-29-19

It can be a hard truth to accept, but seniors are prone to falls, slipping, tripping, and bumping into things — and the outcomes can be more extreme than if they were to happen to a younger person. With that being said, homes where seniors live should be made senior-friendly, in order to keep them safe from getting hurt. If you are a senior, or you have a senior in your life, it's important that you do all that you can to make your home as safe as possible; especially your bathroom.
How to Make Your Bathroom Safe for Aging Adults
Below we'll explain three easy ways to make your bathroom safe for the aging adults in your home or to make your home safe for yourself as you age.
#1: Install Walk-In Shower Stalls Or Baths
An expert from a company that deals with in-home senior care pointed out that walk-in showers are a great proactive measure to take to keep seniors safe in the bathroom. Walk-in showers eliminate the need to step over the side of the tub which could lead to tripping and falling. Likewise, walk-in showers allow seniors to stand up to clean themselves rather than sitting down in a bath that may be hard to get out of for some aging adults.
Having said this, walk-in tubs are also great options for many people. With a little research you can find out which option suits your home and needs best.
If you're redoing your bathroom with a senior in mind, consider installing a shower stall or bath that is easily accessible; meaning it's easy to get in and out of and easy to operate.
#2: Think About Lighting
Lighting is key to keeping seniors safe in the bathroom. Seniors are more prone to falls when it's dark and they can't see; an easy way to avoid this is to consider the best lighting options. Standard wall switches may be hard for seniors to use, especially if they require the use of a cane or a walker. Some alternative light choices for your bathroom include:
- Clap-on lights
- Night lights; LED night lights are great choices as they are especially bright
- Floor lights/step-on lights
- Motion sensor lighting
#3: Install Things to Grip
Many senior bathroom injuries can be avoided by installing things for the senior to grab onto while they navigate the bathroom. Consider installing handlebars on the inside and outside of the shower stall or bath to make it easy for the user to get in and out.
Also, consider installing handlebars throughout the bathroom so they can get around easier; perhaps next to the toilet and in between the shower and the vanity/exit.
Be Proactive and Create a Safe Bathroom Today
It's likely in your best interest to be proactive and make your bathroom as safe as possible today. Keep these safety tips in mind and the specific needs of your loved one or yourself as you remodel your bathroom with aging in mind.

Life Style
Today I write using posts from my Facebook. My excuse for using Facebook is to keep memories of my daughter (and other events) fresh. My friend keeps complaining that I have selective memory loss, which makes Facebook very handy. Motherhood is a special gift from Allah. It is incomparable to anything else in life. I am blessed to have my precious girl who makes each day worthwhile and at my hardest times, gives me a reason to smile through her cockiness.
"This was about the hour I saw her. She was so pink and her eyes were closed, I was worried... I was always worried. I might have counted her toes three times, Alhamdulilah she was in perfect health and still is. When she came all she knew how to do was cry... now... my baby's all grown, she can walk, talk and hug. My favourite thing about Arwa? She gives me a hug and kiss every morning before I leave to work. I am so blessed Alhamdulilah Alhamdulillah!" –Facebook post - 28th October, 2010
"5 years ago, so much fear, anticipation and despair had built up in me. I had a fully grown baby ready to be popped out but according to the doctor there was no way out. She hadn't ever emotionally prepared me for a "maybe" c section... I had studied and read up on natural birth so that the thought of a c section was just not sinking in. "Just choose a day; I am available on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday to operate". I walked out in so much despair, in so much disbelief.... Was this really happening?
The Prophet salaAllahu alayhu wa sallam says that there is no disease except that Allah sends a cure for it. I believe the same applies for every emotional/physical challenge in this life. Unfortunately a lot of times when we are going through any difficult situation, we don't see the other door and that is when we need others the most.
I had my mother on that day, she looked more panic-stricken than I was but she was there with me. She told me things were going to be alright.
I met my little princess two days later, she was the most gorgeous thing ever Alhamdulillah.
I am so grateful for all the experiences. I am who I am today because someone cared and still had hope in me even when I didn't care enough to feel positive.
In life, you can't travel alone. We are social beings in need of each other. Stay strong and seek others when in need... someone somewhere has been through something similar and can help you cope.
I am so blessed to have a daughter who has taught me so much." – Facebook post - 26th October, 2013
Life through the eyes of a child:1) "We are lost because you didn't say bismillah"
My lesson: One of the most amazing lessons my daughter teaches me every time things go wrong is to return to Allah. She says it so innocently so purely. And because of her firm belief in it, it happens that when we forget something or if we are looking for something, saying bismillah makes it magically appear in front of our eyes.
2) "Mama, do you have a baby in your belly?" - "No Arwa" -"open your mouth, let me check"
My lesson: When in doubt, check for yourself.
3) "Mommy when I am big will I be a sister, a mother and a grandmother?"
My lesson: She taught me how to look forward to life and to dream big. She taught me that I can multi-task, why not be a sister, mother and a grandmother all at once?
4) "I behaved myself, right?"
My lesson: She taught me the importance of knowing oneself. She was sure about her behavior and didn't need me to tell her, instead she was telling me. Now change that sentence to "am I behaving well today?" and see the different tone. Hers is a more positive version, a statement of self-appreciation and self-dependency.
5) For breakfast on return, Arwa made me cookies and brought be breakfast in bed!
My lesson: This beautiful gesture of hers just made me melt; Arwa made me cookies after I was away for a week. She was following the hadith of the prophet "exchange gifts you will love each other". Although I was feeling guilty for leaving her during that time, she didn't make me feel at fault at all; instead she made me feel loved and missed.
6) It's cute that Arwa thinks 100 is the biggest number now that she can count up to it. You should have seen the horror on her face when she heard "30 million" today.
My lesson: Arwa taught me to express my emotions, if there is something new that I have learned, why not express it using all the facial muscles I have? That keeps education fun and entertaining.
7) "Mama, draw me a bird", "Arwa I don't know how to", " yes you do, you are big, you know everything", "you are right Arwa, give me that marker!"
My lesson: She taught me to stop doubting myself, to give it a go, who said the bird had to be picture perfect? She taught me the importance of boosting others' confidence.
8) Arwa pinching my cheek saying "mama you are so cute". How am I even to respond to that?
9) Arwa said I am a cute girl and she is proud of me
10) I feel special when Arwa says "I love you" but feeling special is taken to another level when she says "Mama, do you know that I love you?"
My lesson: Arwa keeps teaching me the importance of letting your loved ones know that they are loved. She teaches me that an "I love you" always feels extra special to hear, regardless of how many times it has been repeated. She also taught me the importance of variation in the language we use to express love. She teaches that me kindness in the form of gestures and good words are so effective in strengthening our bond
11) This doll of Arwa is strange. It is only "alive" when she talks to it. As soon as it's me talking to or about it ... "it's not real mama!"
My lesson: Why not enjoy your own fantasies? Not everyone has to accept it or fit in, it's just your own special place and some privacy is good every now and then. Just because her dolls get animated in my absence doesn't mean she has to justify her animation to me.
12) Arwa just invited my dad to the salon! She said "do you want to go with me and my mom to the salon? It's not scary..." little does my little one know.
My lesson: She taught me the power of assurance by assuring my dad that it wasn't going to be a scary experience and the importance of including people. The person doesn't always have to accept what you are offering but offering is a kind gesture that probably made my dad's day to be invited even though he couldn't go.
13) What have I done?! Arwa said she wanted to dye her hair red "like the girl at the mall" when she grows up ... I was absent minded... I think I said yes before I comprehended! Here's hoping she forgets and when she's old enough to read my posts this will be way too far down for her reach
My lesson: Take risks and ask you could get the answer you were expecting. The answer if you don't ask is always a no, but if you do you have a fifty-fifty chance.
14) Arwa is obsessed with the "When I was a baby" stories
My lesson: It is important to know your roots and to be proud about them.
15) Arwa in the morning... "mama relax, let's count "one, two.... thirteen, fourteen.... nineteen, twenty eleven.."
My lesson: It is very important to start your day in a relaxed state. Face the world with confidence even if you don't know what comes after nineteen.
Next time you see a child, take a moment to listen to their wisdom, it could be such an eye-opening moment! Have a lovely day!

Eva Slater early life drawings
Eva Slater studied art and life drawing in Berlin, Germany (where top photo was taken) as well as Art Center in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Although she went on to paint landscapes and abstract hard-edge paintings, she had a solid traditional art training, which is one reason her later work was so good - it had a strong foundation. Slater's feeling for line and a more minimalist approach can be seen in her early works because the desire for simplicity was a part of her personality. A number of the abstract painters working in Slater's time (1950's and 60's), like Slater, had a good solid figurative background and it made for a more aesthetically sound abstract paintings. They really knew what they were doing back then.....

Friendly Reminder
Our best continuing source of good relations is the "OPEN A.A. MEETING" at which any and all visitors are welcome.
It is here that outsiders and potential members form their first opinions of Alcoholics Anonymous. Often we encourage newcomers to bring their spouses and/or family to these meetings so that they can learn a little about the recovery of the alcoholic through the program of A.A.
For this reason, it is suggested that all speakers make every effort to deliver their message without the use of profanity or off-color material.
We believe that the speaker who does use profanity serves only to give the listeners an untrue picture of A.A's spiritual program. Our Second Tradition states there is but one ultimate authority … a loving God. Our message, when consistent with this spirit, conforms with the 12 Traditions which are suggested for the general good, both for members and groups.
The primary purpose at the A.A. podium at OPEN A.A. MEETINGS is to carry the message of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
With this in mind, unity and service will preserve the recovery program of Alcoholics Anonymous as it was given to us.

As Sisters of Notre Dame we share in the special gifts of the Holy Spirit given to our spiritual mother, Julie Billiart, to our foundress, Hilligonde Wolbring, and to our co-foundress, Elizabeth Kühling. Hilligonde's charism, a deep experience of God's provident care, moved her to a compassionate love for others, especially poor children.
Through the formation, the living tradition, and the Constitutions which our first Coesfeld Sisters received from the Amersfoort Sisters, our congregation shares in the charism of Julie Billiart, a deep experience of God's goodness:
"Ah, qu'il est bon, le bon Dieu!"
The charism of our congregation, a deep experience of God's goodness and provident care, continues to be enriched by the creative fidelity of each Sister of Notre Dame.

Co-Living = Cool Living
Why would I pay a lot of money to stay in a tiny palce or share a room? - Because San Francisco is totally worth it!
We all know about the recent 'tech boom' and we all know how hard it can be to find (and keep) a place to call home. With rising costs in rent and no sign of them going back down, the idea of co-living is coming back with a vengeance! This is a great option for those single 20&30 somethings who are young professionals, students, or people just chasing their dreams in San Francisco. Benefits are a family community, cooking meals together, making new friends, you name it, co-livings got it!
We are happy to provide quite a few of these spaces to live in the heart of San Francisco and happy that others are going back to this way of living.

You find yourself wondering, what is an emotional support animal that no one has yet? Well, when it comes to fascinatingly tiny and active little pets, you can't go past the hermit crab. Always on the go, hermit crabs spend their time crawling on top of rocks and other items, burrowing in the sand, and investigating every corner of their environment.
They may be called hermit crabs, but they're actually social creatures, and will even stack themselves on top of each other when allowed to live in a large group. So, be sure to have a strong cage if you allow multiple hermit crabs to live with each other because they can use teamwork to break free.
Despite being invertebrates, hermit crabs have an exoskeleton that supports the structure of their body.
Their two prominent front claws have different purposes, with the larger left claw primarily for defense, and the smaller claw on the right being used to collect water and food.
Eight smaller, jointed legs help the hermit crab to move around, and two compound eyes and two pairs of antennae tell the hermit crab everything they need to know about their surroundings.
The Hermit Crab Habitat
Commonly referred to as a "crabitat," the hermit crabs' home is essential to ensure the continuing health and longevity of your new pets.
Hermit Crab Tank/Terrarium
Some hermit crabs come complete with a plastic carrier, and while these make excellent transport solutions or temporary isolation areas for individual hermit crabs, they are not suitable to be used as long-term homes.
A better solution is a medium-sized glass aquarium – one that is large enough to provide room for your hermit crabs, their water and food dishes, spare shells, rocks, and other climbing toys.
Try not to leave your hermit crabs' home completely cluttered, as hermit crabs also need unobstructed room to scuttle around when they have a burst of energy.
Sandy Beaches
Sand is one of the most important elements of a crabitat, but don't feel that you need to buy specially branded "hermit crab sand." Most hardware stores will sell clean play sand, sometimes branded as "high desert sand."
Before adding it to your crabitat, run your fingers through it, expose it to a strong light, and check for insects. Be aware of a musty smell, which is a classic warning sign that the sand has been contaminated by moisture.
Hermit Crab Shells: A Brief Guide
Hermit crabs rely on other creatures' discarded shells as a means of protecting their soft abdomen, and as a way of regulating the moisture around their body. Similarly to fish, hermit crabs have gills rather than lungs, making the correct levels of moisture and humidity an essential element to the health of a hermit crab. There are also a wide variety of hermit crab breeds.
5 Things You Didn't Know About Hermit Crabs
- Extroverts. Hermit crabs are extremely social and are happiest in large colonies. They have even been known to work together to find food and will assist each other in the wild with the task of finding suitable shells.
- The Shell Cycle. The addition of one new, clean shell can sometimes cause a chain of shell swapping. One hermit crab will discard their current shell and move into the new one, prompting another hermit crab to move into the first crab's discarded shell, and so on.
- Shells Cost Money. Shells are a high currency in the world of hermit crabs, with some crabs happily exchanging shells with each other, while other crabs will aggressively fight for a particular shell.
- They Reproduce Interestingly. Female hermit crabs can carry, on average, 200 fertilized eggs on the underside of their abdomen until the eggs hatch, after which the larvae will float on the surface of the ocean for a few days and will undergo numerous developmental changes before becoming small hermit crabs. HermitCrabPatch discusses more about hermit crabs, their life cycle, and how to spot a crab with their eggs.
- Their Size Matters. The size of a hermit crabs shell can, to some extent, determine the ultimate size of a hermit crab. A hermit crab in a small shell will tend to have delayed growth compared to a hermit crab in a larger shell, who will grow relatively quickly to fill out the shell.
Hermit Crab Care: How to Properly Care for These Crustaceans Creatures
When it comes to raising happy, healthy hermit crabs, the secret is all about humidity. Since hermit crabs have gills rather than lungs, they require humid air otherwise they risk death by suffocation.
A relative humidity of between 70 and 80 percent is the ideal environment for your hermit crabs to thrive.
Hermit Crab Food
They may not look it, but hermit crabs are omnivores, enjoying a varied diet of animal and plant matter. Hermit crabs kept as pets can be fed commercially-produced food pellets along with a variety of fresh foods.
Experiment with different kinds of dried and fresh fruit and vegetables to see what your hermit crabs particularly like. Smaller crabs may need to have their food pellets moistened or crushed.
Hermit Crab Without Shell: Can They Survive?
While hermit crabs can technically survive without a shell, their soft abdomens mean that they are extremely vulnerable to danger when not in a shell.
Hermit crabs instinctively retreat into their shells when faced with any kind of danger, knowing that they have very few other ways of keeping themselves safe without the protection of their shells.
What Happens If A Hermit Crab Out of Its Shell?
If your hermit crab is out of its shell for any length of time, this is a sign that something may be wrong.
Dominant hermit crabs will sometimes forcibly evict another hermit crab from their shell, leaving them homeless and vulnerable until they find a new shell.
In other instances, a hermit crab may abandon their shell if the humidity or temperature within the shell is not at the optimum level, or if there are mites, a foreign object, or even a fungal infection within the shell.
Check out the gif below of a safe 3D printed shell!
Hermit Crab Molting
The first time a hermit crab owner witnesses one of their pets molting can be a daunting experience.
Molting occurs when a hermit crab sheds its exoskeleton, making room for a new one to form. While most hermit crabs will molt, on average, every 18 months, some smaller hermit crabs will molt more often as they rapidly outgrow their old exoskeletons.
Molting is a stressful time for a hermit crab, leaving them vulnerable to predators. While it can be tempting to interfere in the molting process, the best thing you can do for your molting hermit crab is to leave them alone.
Molting is a perfectly natural process, and your hermit crab knows exactly what needs to be done.
Small Hermit Crab to Land Hermit Crab: Hermit Crab Sizes
The Ecuadorian hermit crab is one of the smallest varieties of hermit crabs, reaching only a half inch in size when fully grown.
The Caribbean hermit crab is one of the most common varieties of hermit crabs kept as pets and can grow between 2 and 6 inches during their lifetime.
The Coconut hermit crab, on the other hand, is certainly not suitable to be kept as a pet. Growing as big as 40 inches and weighing up to 11 pounds, the Coconut crab is unlike smaller hermit crabs as it eventually discards the use of shells, and develops a sufficiently thick exoskeleton of its own.
The Hermit Crab Lifespan
Given their relatively small size compared to other common pets, it is natural to assume that hermit crabs have a lifespan of a few years at best.
Yet in the wild, hermit crabs can live for up to 70 years, while hermit crabs kept as pets can reasonably be expected to live for 20 years or longer with the right food, environment, and care.
Hermit Crabs for Sale
Purchasing a hermit crab is an endeavor that should not be taken lightly, particularly if you are adding one or more hermit crabs into an existing habitat. You can get a one of these exotic crabs at your local pet store. PetCo is known for carrying an abundant supply of hermit crabs, miniature habitats, and additional shells! For example, they sell the blue-leg hermit crab and red-leg hermit crab for about a dollar each.
Isolating a new hermit crab in a separate, smaller tank is a good idea before introducing them to the main colony, and it is also a good idea to stay vigilant in the first few days after a new crab is introduced to see if any fighting behaviors occur.
The Ultimate Question: Should You or Should You Not Own A Hermit Crab Pet?
Many believe hermit crabs are great starter pets and do not require a lot of work.
This is not the case. At all.
Hermit crabs are sensitive creatures who need the best care and attention to live and prosper. It takes work to set up the perfect "crabitat" and provide the optimum atmosphere and the right types of food, sand, and spare shells for your hermit crabs.
Here are some factors to consider before owning a hermit crab as a pet:
- One hermit crab is not enough. They do not do well on their own and need as many friends as possible.
- Research. Research. Research. There are many things that are toxic to hermit crabs such as tap water, painted shells, and more.
- Molting is a vital development for hermit crabs. They will need a large environment to do so (hint: a plastic container will not do).
- When purchasing a hermit crab, do not take the process lightly. Read up on the best and most ethical place to buy one before deciding to go to a souvenir shop or mall.
Hermit crabs can be wonderful pets as they are active, sociable, and highly inquisitive.
If you have the time and dedication to devote to making your hermit crabs' lives as natural and enjoyable as possible, hermit crabs can make wonderfully rewarding pets.

Early intervention could boost education levels
(Medical Xpress)—Taking steps from an early age to improve childhood education skills could raise overall population levels of academic achievement by as much as 5%, and reduce socioeconomic inequality in education by 15%, according to international research led by the University of Adelaide.
In a study now published in the journal Child Development, researchers from the University of Adelaide's School of Population Health and colleagues at the University of Bristol in the UK have modelled the likely outcomes of interventions to improve academic skills in children up to school age. They considered what effect these interventions would have on education by age 16.
Speaking during Children's Week (18-26 October), lead author Dr Catherine Chittleborough from the University of Adelaide says socioeconomic disadvantage is a known risk factor for education and related outcomes.
"Childhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with reduced ability to benefit from schooling, poorer educational outcomes, a lower likelihood of continuing to tertiary education, and less job success. A poor education is associated with increased welfare dependence and lower skilled jobs with lower pay, helping to continue the cycle of disadvantage," Dr Chittleborough says.
"We've known for some time that intervening before the age of five can improve skills necessary for educational success, but the effect of these interventions on socioeconomic inequalities has remained unknown," she says.
Using data of almost 12,000 children from the UK, the researchers found that progressive educational interventions - and more intense interventions for those with greater need - could improve school entry academic skills and later educational outcomes.
"Based on our models, population levels of educational achievement could rise by 5%, and absolute socioeconomic inequality in poor educational achievement could be reduced by 15%," Dr Chittleborough says.
"That is an important finding, especially when you consider that in 2012 there were more than 620,000 pupils aged 15-16 in secondary education in the UK. A 5% improvement in their educational outcomes means that 13,500 students would be better off. This would then impact on their future employability and their ability to contribute to society economically. I expect we would see similar outcomes on education if we used Australian data."
Dr Chittleborough says pre-school education is extremely important to set children on the right path. "By providing the appropriate educational support, we could make a difference to a lot of children's lives," she says.

Well, the headline pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
Most Ohioans support medical marijuana, pollsters say, but state lawmakers shy away
via The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Ohioans of all races, income levels, educational backgrounds and ideologies tell pollsters that they support allowing Ohio doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patients.
But Gov. Ted Strickland and most Ohio lawmakers don't.
So a medical marijuana bill introduced last week by Rep. Kenny Yuko and a handful of House Democrats has pretty much already gone up in smoke, despite what most Ohioans may think.
Let's review, shall we?
Last week House lawmakers introduced HB 478, the Ohio Medical Compassion Act, which would allow state-authorized patients to possess and cultivate cannabis for therapeutic purposes.
This week, a statewide poll conducted by the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati, found that 73 percent of Ohio adults favor the measure. This survey result comes on the heels of a nationwide ABC News/Washington Post poll showing that 81 percent of all Americans support legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Nevertheless, lawmakers have made it clear that they are willing to buck this public opinion out of some inexplicable fear that to not do so is "political suicide."
Excuse me, but since when is it 'political suicide' to endorse a measure that over seven out of ten of your constituents say they support?
Virtually every state and national poll on record shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans back legalizing medical marijuana, and several recent polls indicate that a slight majority of voters also support broader legalization for personal use. Yet a majority of politicians still believe that it is a viable position to oppose such reforms on the antiquated notion that to not do so would invite a 'public backlash.'
Well, it is time to tell these 'flat Earthers' that they are wrong.
I've said it before but it bears repeating — now more than ever: Marijuana law reform no longer a political liability; it's a political opportunity. If your politicians aren't getting the message then it is time to spell it out to them — in the only language they know: votes.
It is time to let them know that opposing sensible marijuana reform is political suicide, and not the other way around.
So why not visit NORML's 'Take Action Center' and tell them!

Upcoming Turkish elections could face unprecedented fraud
A suspicious series of events over the past week has ratcheted up security concerns ahead of the June 7 general elections in Turkey. First, an unexplained electricity cut across the country on April 1 led Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to speculate about a terrorist attack. Few hours after that statement, a state prosecutor was taken hostage by two terrorists at the Istanbul main courthouse. The hostage and the hostage takers did not survive the rescue operation. And this nightmarish week ended by Turkish soccer team Fenerbahce surviving an assassination attempt April 4.
No one but the 13 year long Justice and Development Party (A.K.P.) government should have been expected in the least to take some responsibility. But they are the masters of blaming others and presenting themselves as the victims at all times. They acted no different this time around, too. The A.K.P. government alleges that its main opposition, the Republican People's Party (C.H.P.), is affiliated with the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party (DHKP – C), extremist leftist terror group that claimed responsibility for taking the state prosecutor hostage. There certainly is no evidence for such preposterous accusations, but the A.K.P. never cared for the facts. Just as there was no rational ground for the government to blame the opposition for backing the murderous Syrian regime.
The A.K.P. government has always been keen depicting any dissenting voice as if it is an act of terrorism aiming to bring down an elected government. By keeping such irrational and unfounded accusations in the public domain with loud voice, A.K.P. achieves to cloud domestically how the international community scrutinizes the impact of its Syria policy – to begin with – especially ahead of the elections.
In September 2014, for example, Francis Ricciardone, the former U.S. ambassador to Turkey, made headlines saying Turkey "worked with groups for a period, including al-Nusra," which is also on the U.N. Security Council's sanctions list. Thanks to the A.K.P. government's policies toward Syria and the broader Middle East that Turkey appears as the only NATO member country on the Financial Action Task Force gray list under suspicion of supporting the financing of terror organizations.
The A.K.P. dominance domestically creates such cacophony that it is either the A.K.P.'s way or no way. Since coming to power, A.K.P. has focused far more on what separates people than on what unites them. This is hardly a new or original tactic; but given Turkey's volatile neighborhood and the position in world affairs that Turkey strives to occupy, a polarized citizenry threatens the nation both from without and within. When that is coupled with people's growing distrust to the court system, the trouble for this country feels even heavier.
Turkey plays a key role in keeping the lid on the radical Islamic terror and preventing its spoiler effects terrorizing the whole Eurasia region. That is why the West also has a lot at stake in the next general election that will signal either a continuum of these troubled Middle East policies or a change for the better. It will also signal a cardinal turning point about the common interests and values with the West.
Yet what remains constant is the continual buzz of rhetoric preaching distrust of the opposition. The opposition, however, is only responsible for falling short of proving itself as a real political power hub. It is not the opposition that oppresses the media and freedom of expression. In the last example of such, Davutoglu slammed those media organizations showing the picture of the slain prosecutor with a gun pointed at his forehead, and an Istanbul court banned access to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube on April 6. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused April 8 all those showing that picture as "partnering the murder" of this prosecutor. These irrational emotional politicking sends a chilling effect and make journalists with different points of view worry for their safety.
Looking toward June, A.K.P. is expected to eke out a weak win, still being able to form a single party government, but ending fewer deputies to Parliament than at any other time in the last decade. Erdogan however wants lawmakers' maximum support to change the constitution and convert the current parliamentary system into a presidential one. It means for Turkey – first and foremost – the end of checks and balances.
Turkey's state institutions are already in disarray, and the populace is dangerously divided. During the May 2013 Gezi Park protests, Turks signed up in record numbers to Twitter to assure the free flow of information, and chronicle the disproportionate use of force by the police. The government had framed all those on the streets as "terrorists."
These protests however increased awareness, especially among younger voters, and impressed upon them the need to stand up for their democracy. The demonstrations sparked a grassroots movement to monitor and ensure fair elections and accurate vote counts, championed by civilian initiatives such as Votes of Turkey (Turkiye'nin Oylari) and Votes of Ankara (Ankara'nin Oylari). These groups established a network of more than 100,000 volunteers in advance of the 2014, in which Turks voted for their local governments and their president for the first time. They served as observers to protect the sanctity of the voting process – and while their ambition stands as a testament to democracy, their work also uncovered fraud at the ballot box.
These citizen action groups demonstrate that even though Turkish democracy has always been far from perfect – the principles of democracy are at last permeating Turkish society. But the A.K.P.'s sustained approach exaggerating the exaggerated past problems aiming to show themselves as the victim at all times undermines such efforts and serves only to weaken the public's belief in elections. And President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is so full of it that he belittles democracy to mean the ballot box.
Election fraud has always existed here, but no one ever seriously believed that it impacted the results until the March 2014 local elections here. These civilian groups proved that the local election in Ankara was stolen and the justice system failed under political pressure to properly act. Now C.H.P. Ankara mayoral candidate Mansur Yavas has taken the case to the European Court of Human Rights to settle the score.
With this precedent at hand, people already expect an unprecedented level of fraud to take place at the June ballot box. Erdogan likes to talk about democracy, and rallies people to vote in record numbers for the A.K.P. to change the country's regime. He argues an elected public servant cannot turn to become a dictator. Yet history tells us this is simply an empty argument.
If he were to be sincere prioritizing people's representation in their governance, Erdogan should have changed the law for lowering the 10 percent threshold currently required for a party to be represented in Parliament. That rule was presented into law by the 1982 military coup constitution. Today, it stays effective as a prime example that once a party wins, the odds of sharing its power become slim to none. Concerned citizens of Turkey simply sends an early warning that the West will be best served by joining forces with civilian organizations and election observers to ensure fair elections that have the capacity to keep Turkey on the democratic track.

As many of you know, the LSC is limited in both staffing and space to adequately handle the high volume of exam requests during the academic year. We would like exam proctoring by the LSC to be considered as a secondary, not primary method of delivering accommodations. Unless there are special circumstances (such as the use of a computer), there is no established reason students must take their exams in the library. As a result we are asking for the cooperation of you and your instructors in the following:
If after speaking with your instructor, you determine the need to still take exams through the LSC, please complete the following procedure in this order:
Please Note:
• IT IS IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO KNOW our LSC Exam Proctoring Policy: if we receive less than the stated 5 day notice, we may not be able to arrange your exam in a timely manner to provide the requested accommodations.
• If the test/quiz is scheduled by your instructor with less than 5 days' notice, please contact the LSC office immediately so that we can work with you to make appropriate arrangements.
Occasionally a Student may find a specific course or science lab requires modifications, services or course specific accommodations. Often this will require meetings and coordination between the student, the course faculty member and the LSC staff. The faculty member's input regarding the course goals objectives and requirements will be pivotal in determining appropriate accommodations. Students should contact the LSC to begin the process of determining course specific accommodations.
In most cases, class attendance is critical to a student's mastery of the knowledge and skills that are taught in a specific course and students are expected to follow the attendance policy established by the instructor in each class. If a qualified student with a disability believes it may not be possible to abide by the attendance policy due to disability-related reasons, the student should contact the Learning Support Center at the beginning of the semester, or as soon as possible after the need for an exception arises, to discuss the matter of a possible accommodation. The LSC staff member and the student will meet with the faculty members to determine whether reasonable adjustments can be made which does not later the nature of the course or the essential educational experience.
Students are responsible for discussing the implementation of the accommodations with their faculty members. The majority of accommodations requested by students at Albion College are easily arranged and implemented. Faculty members are receptive and eager to assist students in being successful. They have experience in the best methods to implement these accommodations in their courses. They welcome the opportunity to provide equal access. However in some instance the requested accommodation may require instructor input to determine whether that the accommodation is appropriate for the class.
Note takers are peer volunteers from the student's class who are willing to share their notes. Volunteer note takers may provide notes using a variety of formats. Some note takers review and type their notes before passing them to the student. Others use a notebook containing numbered carbonless paper. The note taker gives the student the copy at the end of the class period. When more than one student in the class requires notes the note taker may be asked to use a smart pen which allows electronic sharing of notes and audio. Students should request note takers by completing the online Notetaker Form.
The LSC staff will make arrangements by contacting your faculty member who will ask for a peer volunteer (without providing your name or the reason for this request). Once a volunteer is located you will be sent the email address of the student volunteer and can make arrangements for obtaining the notes.


text: By the way, this must be becoming a really useful list because I've seen it on a few other websites. That's fine with me, it's flattering that others think we've done such a good job that they want to share it with others they know. I've also seen credit given to the forum, that's good.

A suggested positive control is rat colon lysate.
PA5-21123 can be used with blocking peptide PEP-1237.
CD150 (SLAM, Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule) belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, and is involved in T cell stimulation. SLAM is constitutively expressed on peripheral blood memory T cells, T cell clones, immature thymocytes, and a proportion of B cells, and is rapidly induced on naive T cells after activation. Activated B cells express the membrane bound form, the soluble form and the cytoplasmic isoforms of SLAM. It is suggested that signalling through homophilic SLAM-SLAM binding during B to B and B to T cell interactions enhances the expansion and differentiation of activated B cells. Reports suggest that the extracellular domain of CD150 is the receptor for the measles virus and acts as a co-activator on T cells and B cells. Moreover, CD150 is thought to interact with SH2D1A and with PTPN11 via its cytoplasmic domain. Mutations CD150 gene may be associated with X-linked lympho-proliferative disease (XLP).

Over the last year, we've seen a bunch of anonymous (or anonymish) apps crop up on mobile phones, allowing users to share messages with people nearby or those in their social circles. To date, though, most of those apps have been focused on the consumer market.
A new app called Memo hopes to capture some of the enterprise market, enabling employees to share anonymously and privately with their coworkers.
Memo was created by a New York-based group called Collectively, which is looking for new ways to "help make work more human." The theory behind Memo, like that behind many other anonymous sharing apps, is that by removing a user's identity from a post they would be much more honest with the things they chose to post.
In order to ensure users work at a certain organization, Memo requires them to sign up with a company email address or verify their employment by connecting through LinkedIn. After that verification takes place, Memo provides users with a unique user ID but doesn't save any other identifiable information.
Once that's all done, users can share privately with other employees within their company's network. They can also share publicly to any other users, but they are identified only by the company they work for.
For CEO Ryan Janssen, Memo's goal is to open up more honest communication within an organization. All too often, he believes, senior management in many big companies is out of touch with the average worker.
"Companies are suffering because they aren't listening to their employees," Janssen told me in a phone interview. But he suggests employees are afraid to share what they really think about what's happening in their organizations.
"Managers have this bifurcated role… On the one hand they are supposed to facilitate communication throughout the company, but they also determine employees' futures. Those roles are in opposition to each other," Janssen said.
To test out this hypothesis, the company made Memo available to employees within organizations like HP, IBM, Amazon, and Citigroup last fall. The app was downloaded by thousands of employees and used as a private mobile message board in those companies, and now it's being opened up so that anyone can download it.
Memo doesn't have access to any of the conversations that happen within those private boards. The business model it hopes to employ is to roll out tools that management can use that could include analytics tools, sentiment analysis, and ways to respond to messages that employees share.
That said, some companies aren't happy about the things their employees have been sharing anonymously on Memo. Janssen says he's received two cease-and-desist orders from companies with employees on Memo and some "strongly worded" emails from a few other organizations.
In addition, he told me employees at three other companies "received a memo not to use Memo, which is a little ironic." Janssen says he hasn't actually seen those memos, just heard about them through the app's feedback form.
While some companies have tried to shut down use of Memo by blocking verification emails or email invites from hitting employee inboxes, Janssen thinks the backlash is actually a good thing. As a result of the emails he's received, Janssen has been able to set up meetings with a few companies to figure out how he can better work with them and which tools he could implement to help them respond to employee feedback in the app.
It's a good first step, but there's obviously a long road ahead before companies get comfortable with the idea of anonymous sharing in the enterprise.

Oh my gosh the first paragraph of this review of Franzen's latest novel pins him down in a way I have primordially conceived but couldn't really express:
Probably no one alive is a better novelist than Jonathan Franzen, and this is frustrating because his novels are awful, excellent but awful, books you read quickly and remember ponderously, books of exhaustive craft and yet a weird, spiraling cluelessness about the data they exhaustively collate. They analyze the wave frequency but don't hear the sound. They are full of people who talk and act exactly as you imagine such people would talk and act in real life…
(And for the record, as a human being, Franzen is a verified putz.)
Here is an incredibly helpful post in Dynamic Ecology for new parents and parents-to be, about pumping at work. (Dads, this is for you too, as presumably you're on bottle cleaning and management, and probably involved with Picov Andropov.)
If you've ever had the misfortune of going to or from Los Angeles through LAX, you probably noticed this historic airport was designed around the car, but not for contemporary quantities of cars. The design is particularly non-amenable to modernization. But here's a big design that can help make LAX work more like a regular international airport.
Oliver Sacks has died. The New York Times obituary is a good one. One thing I learned, that surprised me a bit, is that he was a super-duper workaholic. Spent all his time thinking about work.
If you have any black students, or any students who are women, or any learning disabled students. Or anybody who isn't a white male. Please do them, and yourself, a favor and read this explainer of stereotype threat if you don't think you're an expert on stereotype threat. It's amazing how massively student performance can be affected merely by how assessments are perceived.

On turning down the startup job:
The startup world, or at least the ones making the majority of the noise, have their heads up their own ass and don't realize it stinks. They're solving problems for the top 5% of the population. How can I get poor people to do my chores? How can I get people to drive me around without having to pay them health insurance? How can a drone deliver my toilet paper within 15 minutes while the person who fulfilled my order sits at her desk crying because she's working a 15-hour day and can't take time off to get that lump in her chest looked at. This is known as the service economy. Where entitled white boys figure out how to replicate their private school dorm experience for life.

Next time someone asks me what it's like being an Associate Editor, I'll point to this post, which has the lowdown.
"An organic chemist I know tells her doctors that she is a professor of Southern literature whenever she is in the hospital." Herein lies some interesting thoughts about the education of doctors.
This is not a surprise at all, the but data themselves are fascinating: That Ashley Madison site had no real women using the site. And they invented a bunch of women for men who paid more than a little money to fantasize that they could actually use this website to cheat on their spouses.

Here's a consequential convergence of gay rights, sports, and intercultural understanding (or the lack thereof): It was only in 2013 that the US saw the first openly gay athlete playing in a major league team sport. The pioneer was Robbie Rogers, who starts at left back for the LA Galaxy (whose stadium happens to be on my university campus, which has its perks). That was a big signing for the team, but a more recent big signing has inadvertently introduced an ethnically charged anti-gay element into the fan base of the Galaxy. In perhaps the biggest leap ever in Major League Soccer, the Galaxy just brought on board the Mexican international star Giovani Dos Santos. Who seems to be a perfectly nice guy. This is a huge coup for the league, and also for the Galaxy which has caught the eye of many Mexican soccer fans in LA who up until now looked to the south and to Europe to follow the game. And they're coming to the stadium to cheer on Gio and the Galaxy. But, there's this thing that Mexican fans do when they're at a soccer game. When the opposing keeper takes a goal kick, the crowd shouts "puto." Which, no matter how you slice it, is an anti-gay slur. (I haven't been to a game since Gio was signed, and now, well, I'm not so thrilled about the idea.) I'm sure a lot of the people who do this, don't think consider it to be the horrible anti-gay insult that it is. The Galaxy doesn't want to alienate the Mexican fans they just paid several million dollars to attract, but they also don't want the league to take a step back after having made some substantial progress towards equity and inclusion — the work environment for gay and ethnic minority athletes in the US is much, much better than in Europe. It's critical for the Galaxy and the league to shut the lid on this practice of hurling an anti-gay slur at the opposing team. How do you get fans to stop doing something they've been doing for so long, that some think is a part of their culture? In Europe, teams and their supporters have been punished for racial abuse by being forced to play future home games to an empty stadium. I hope Major League Soccer heads in this direction if a kinder, gentler educational approach doesn't work.
Do you list job talks on your CV as invited talks? I used to, then pulled them, but it seems at least in biology that people tend to? Here's the start of a discussion on the topic, click through to see the extended and interesting conversation that follows:

Aleix Herraiz, was born in Barcelona, but he is resident in Sabadell (Vallès Oriental). His entrance to the Orquestra was 2019, covering the places of Trombon and Fiscorn (a tipical catalan instrument). He is the youngest member of all of us!!!
Just graduated from Liceu Aleix brings to the Orquestra a high musical level and a lot of dynamism. Altough he is very influenced by classicals trombonists as Joseph Alessi or Michael Becquet, he doesn´t put limts to his referents and part of his preferent list of musicians are Wycliffe Gordon or Glen Miller.
His hobbies are several but he enjoys going to see Musicals and also dancing Lindy Hop!.
He is a person that loves to use an English expression that makes him unmistakable… Just before a performance and ready to jump to the stage, says to his companions;"Hey, are you ready?"….He is always ready….are you ready to see him in action?

From being issued an M16 rifle that jammed to being baptized in a blaze of fire on the front lines, he reveals what he learned about fighting the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Regular Army troops in the rice paddies and jungles from DaNang to the DMZ.
At nineteen years old, Goddard was a corporal leading squad sized patrols. Due to a twist of fate Goddard was at the very center of a bayonet assault by Golf Company on the NVA bunker complex during the battle at Phu Oc, near Con Thien, on September 21, 1967 where 31 Marines and Sailors were killed and 118 wounded in the action.
From boot camp and reconnaissance training to the killing fields of Vietnam, this is a detailed account of the hell that is war.

Becoming a DJ now is easier in some regards. To purchase music, one can sit at home and buy songs from iTunes or Amazon. Storing music is a lot easier as well. Keeping music on a external or internal hard drives is far more portable compared to lugging around CD cases like these:
The only way you could play CDs was through a duel rack-mountable CD player or a CDJ, which is like a turntable except for CDs. Now there are various ways to play music. You can use a iPod, CD player, or computer but there are also media players as well. These can read music from memory cards, jump drives, and external hard-drives. I use a player called the Cortex HDC 1000 which reads USB devices. The downfall to these players is their small screen. It can be hard to scroll through hundreds of songs looking for a particular one. This is the reason why many DJs are moving to computers.
I know some mobile DJs who use desktop computers while others use laptops. Using a desktop has several advantages. first off, they are typically cheaper then laptops. Desktops also have the ability to be customizable. You can pick out a keyboard, a monitor, and a wireless mouse of various brands. for example a DJ may want a glow in the dark keyboard, a 22 inch monitor and a touch pad instead of a wireless mouse. You couldn't have this with a laptop. The ability to replace broken components is also a major advantage. it is far cheaper to replace monitor compared to fixing a laptop screen.
Laptops have their own advantages as well. The biggest advantage is their portability and quick set up. It's a lot easier to bring a laptop to a club or wedding compared to a desktop. Prices for laptops have dropped drastically as well. You can pick up a decent laptop for a relatively cheap. Here is a picture of my system. I just started running a two laptop system. I use one as a back up if anything were to fail.
As you can see, technology has made a DJ's job easier. It has provided many more options and methods of playing music. Now it is up to each DJ to pick their preference.

Special Provisions: The Fine Print
Yesterday, the Senate passed a state budget that deserves careful examination, not only to the funding changes but the policy changes that are quietly tucked in as well. What we generally call "the budget" always contains two documents—1) the money report and 2) the special provisions.
The money report is what you would consider to be the budget—the listing of funding levels for various programs and services by line item. The special provisions are the accompanying document that theoretically clarifies the money decisions. It offers policy guidance to administrative agencies that are charged with implementing the funding changes, and it offers guidance to how federal dollars should be spent.
While the special provisions are technically supposed to be just about the numbers in the state budget, more often than not a bunch of policy that should go through the regular bill process pops up in the special provisions. It's not unheard of for massive programmatic changes to happen in the special provisions. Unless you're a full-time lobbyist over at the legislature, it's hard to find out what they contain.
Here are some of the special provisions that merit further attention and debate:
- Changes to Funding Education Formulas
- Changes to the Education Lottery Fund allocation
- Allows for increased class sizes
- Adopts provisions of the Excellent Public Schools Act of 2013
- Establishes an expanded contract with Teach for America
- Requires drug testing for Work First assistance
- Increases agency discretion to raise fees
- Develops a system to track state spending and performance known as NC GEAR
- Shifts pregnant women who earn at least 133 percent of the federal poverty level from Medicaid to the private health insurance marketplace being set up under the Affordable Care Act.
- Creation of the Rural Economic Development Division

More Information
Dark Angel by Brian John, Greencroft Books 2003.
A5 paperback, 432 pp, £8.50.
Published 1st November 2003. Reprinted 2005.
Total copies sold (all editions): 7,300.
New cover
We have dumped the old cover and replaced it with this one, designed by Martin. It's dark and enigmatic, but keeps the house style with the ornamented letter A. Is the raven the angel, or the figure on the skyline? The theme of the book is Martha's sense of paranoia and her weariness at the pressures of motherhood......
This is a dark and dramatic tale with romance at its heart, set in the early years of the nineteenth century.
Martha Morgan, a young widow, has finally found love again, after weathering many storms of the heart. She agrees to marry Owain and all the members of her family are delighted. But just as she starts to believe that she can have a quiet, calm life, Martha is terrified by a ghostly apparition, which the servants start to call The Nightwalker. Further troubles await her - an orphan is abandoned on the front doorstep, a ship is wrecked on the rocky coastline nearby, and one of the local squires tries to intimidate and undermine her. Finally, Owain, her anchor, disappears.
For the first time since becoming its Mistress, the Plas Ingli estate is in serious trouble. It is up to Martha to lead the family out of dark times - even if the journey will test her to her limits...
For many female readers, this is the favourite book of the Saga. Maybe that is because it is really about motherhood and the need for security, love and warmth -- but there is a lot of disturbing material in the story, dealing with depression, paranoia and violence, among other things. But Martha is a survivor, and ultimately this book, like all of the others, takes an optimistic and positive view of the human condition.
Using a Female Voice
Question: Wasn't it risky for you, as a man approaching retirement, to presume to speak as a pregnant, suicidal young woman from another age?
Answer: Very risky indeed. But I had to do it, since that's the way the story came to me. So I swallowed hard and had to get on with it, for better or worse. Luckily I seem to have got away with it, and many female readers have complimented me on the accuracy with which I have portrayed female moods and instincts. Maybe that's the female side of me coming out, or maybe it's down to accurate observation of women over a long period of time! But here I have to thank my wife Inger, who has been my chief critic and consultant on the female psyche. She reads everything as soon as it is written, and does not hesitate to put me right on misjudgements large and small, and indeed on all things feminine. I have to admit to some difficulties in writing the most intimate and erotic scenes in the five books, and also in describing a miscarriage as experienced by Martha herself. No man can really understand the emotional turmoil and physical anguish involved.
