Why is VAT charged on eBooks?
January 15, 2011 Leave a comment
If you own a Kindle or other e-reader you may have noticed that VAT is charged on eBooks whereas regular paper books seem to be exempt from this. It's now increasingly noticeable since the Chancellor; George Osborne increased the rate of VAT from 17.5% to 20% on the 4th of January, 2011.
At present, the items that are 'zero-rated', that is, exempt from VAT, are essential items such as groceries or fuel supplies whereas items that are seen as 'luxuries' are taxed the full amount.
Books have long been zero-rated but it seems the problem with the taxation of eBooks lies in HM Revenue & Customs' definition of a book, which is this:
These normally consist of text or illustrations, bound in a cover stiffer than their pages. They may be printed in any language or characters (including Braille or shorthand), photocopied, typed or hand-written, so long as they are found in book or booklet form.
It seems that HMRC's definition of a book is rather outdated, failing to take into account the technological advances that make eBooks a viable alternative to a paper book. However they then go on to say the following:
Supplies of any of the following are zero-rated:
literary works
reference books
directories and catalogues
antique books
collections of letters or documents permanently bound in covers
loose-leaf books, manuals or instructions, whether complete with their binder or not, and
amendments to zero-rated loose-leaf books, even if issued separately.
Now most of the items listed above can be read in electronic format, particularly 'literary works' and 'reference books' and I can think of no reason that a book should become a 'luxury' when displayed on an e-reader. I certainly agree that the e-reader itself should be charged the full amount of VAT but the book itself is the same regardless of whether it's printed on paper or viewed on a screen.
In fact, the more environmentally minded among you might argue that an eBook is 'greener' than its paper counterpart and that the government should be giving tax incentives for an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
If this is to change, the government needs to be told just how important this is to eBook purchasers. Write to your MP or HMRC, or both! And let them know just how unfair and inconsistent taxing eBooks is.

A paraître en juin - Midsummer Moons
John Zorn: Midsummer Moons [#8354]
For millennia the moon has been a subject of deep fascination—a symbol of love, lust, madness and dreams. More than a passive observer, it is a powerful force whose brilliant luminosity exerts an intoxicating effect upon the winds, the tides, our emotions and more. This dark and moody CD of music inspired by Shakespearian Lunar imagery features ten lyrical compositions evoking the magic of Sister Moon. Stunningly performed by two of the most fabulous new guitarists working today - Julian Lage and Gyan Riley, this is a beautiful and heartfelt program of music for late night contemplation on a romantic midsummer evening.

~ baby hats from Linda ~
Aren't they cute? Tiny little hats to keep tiny little baby heads warm. They were crocheted and donated by Linda of "Linda's Crafty Corner". When I opened the package and took each one out, I showed them to Vince and said "look how cute and little they are honey". He agreed with me. Then I said "awww - they're so adorable - let's have a baby". He did not agree with me on that one - just kind of looked at me sideways. (ya'll know I'm kidding on that anyway - I'm too old to have a baby)
Thank you so much Linda - you're an angel too. ♥

Defense minister Mircea Dusa, the Romanian Defense Minister, has officially signed a contract with Portugal for used F-16A/B fighter aircraft. The total contract is worth 600 million Euro of which the first installment of 100 million has been paid.
The aircraft itself are worth 186 million Euro while the rest will be spent on support infrastructure, training, spares, weapons and so on. Nine Romanian pilots and 69 maintenance technicians have begun their training.
The nine F-16A single-seat and three F-16B dual-seat aircraft will be upgraded and modernized before delivery will begin in 2015. A full squadron is expected to be ready to enter service by 2017 where they will replace the Russian MiG-21 Fishbed.
Nine of these will come from Portugal and the other three will be acquired from the United States through Portugal. Bulgaria had expressed their intent to purchase these nine aircraft from Portugal, but nothing was formally signed.
Romania may purchase additional F-16 aircraft, possibly from Portugal. They had earlier planned to purchase 24 refurbished F-16C/D Block 25 from the United States although this did not go through due to financial difficulties.

The Villagers at Pine Run are already among the most active retirees around, and soon they will enjoy a beautiful, new two-story Community Center, known as the "Hub" that is planned to be as dynamic as they are.
"While our Villagers enjoy an ever-expanding menu of activities and amenities, the new 'Hub' will offer a central location with versatile and unique spaces," explains Cathleen Stewart, executive director of Pine Run Retirement Community. "We are so excited to be able to provide this lively center to our residents and to give them even more choices to be active."
The new, centrally-located Hub will feature a welcoming front entrance, panoramic views and design elements consistent with Bucks County tradition, including stone and lots of natural light.
"Pine Run is known as a haven for the arts, and now will be a haven for the culinary arts," says Maria Santangelo, senior director of Villager Services. With two indoor dining galleries featuring water views, two outdoor dining venues overlooking the pond, and a café, Villagers will have more places to host family, friends and clubs. As another exciting feature, the new dining venues will also offer cuisine from around the world and guest chefs.
Pine Run's popular fitness center will be larger, with all new equipment, plenty of space for classes, an indoor pool and a locker room with a private changing area. Pine Run Villagers and the fitness center's experienced trainers are looking forward to having a beautiful, well-equipped fitness area in a central location on campus.
New classrooms will provide ample space for popular programs, such as Keep on Learning, which features guest experts who highlight topics including history, music, nature and health in interesting ways. The large auditorium will allow for expanded entertainment opportunities and a new location for old favorites such as Saturday evening movies.
There can be no doubt about what Villager Polly Wanner is most looking forward to enjoying in the new Community Center. "I'm a water girl," enthuses Polly. "I enjoy swimming because it exercises the entire body. It is healthy and refreshing, and each time I leave the pool my world feels a little brighter!"
"I am very excited about having a pool here at Pine Run! Experts encourage seniors to exercise, and I feel the pool will offer great opportunities for fitness and fun while also creating opportunities for new activities and camaraderie," says Polly, who is already thinking: "water tai chi to help with body control and balance, and water aerobics to help build muscles." She is also hoping to initiate water games, such as Newcomb, a game similar to volleyball. Polly feels that happenings at the pool will open doors for all Villagers, especially new members of the Pine Run community, to connect and make friends.
Pine Run has proven to be the perfect choice for Norm and Jean Leister, an active pair with many interests who have 10 children and their families to keep up with. "We're looking forward to the opportunities the new dining venues will offer for us to entertain and enjoy our large family," says Norm.
As both a participant and an instructor at the Center for Learning in Retirement at Delaware Valley University, Norm sees the new Community Center as an opportunity to initiate similar classes at Pine Run. "I teach all levels of Bridge, gardening and the art of conversation," says Norm, noting that Jean is also a Bridge player, and member of Pine Run's book club."

Batatyacha Rassa - Potato Gravy
This is going to be my first entry for
Maharashtrian Cuisine
Here is the recipe for Batatyacha Rassa
Serves 4
Preparation time - 10 mins
Cooking time - 10 mins
For Rassa
Potatoes - 4 medium
Tomatoes - 2
Green chilies - 4
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Water - as required
For Seasoning
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Asafetida - a pinch
salt to taste.
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Coriander leaves
Method to prepare
Wash and boil the potatoes in a cooker. Peal off the skin.
Chop the tomatoes to fine pieces. Slit the green chilies in the middle. Keep aside. Finely chop the coriander leaves.
Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafetida and turmeric powder. Once it starts spluttering, add chopped tomatoes. Sim for 5 mins.
Add mashed potatoes and required quantity of water. Mix it well and bring it to a boil.
Since I didn't have Black maharashtrian masala, I added the regular garam masala that I had, then salt and half of the coriander leaves.
The dish is ready within 5 mins.
Garnish with the remaining coriander leaves.
I served this with hot puris and it was really good. My daughter and athamma wanted this to be included in our regulars. This is a variation for us, as we never make potato gravy without onions.
Thanks to Lakshmi of
Veggie Cuisine
for starting such a great event and
for hosting this month's event.

2 Schools in Milwaukee Choice Program Close
Two of the private schools in Milwaukee's closely watched school-choice program have closed their doors after a state audit showed they had misrepresented their enrollment figures.
The voucher program, which began in 1990, allows about 1,400 low-income students in Milwaukee to attend nonreligious private schools at the state's expense. The state provides $3,600 in tuition money for each student enrolled in the program.
The two schools, Exito Education Center and the Milwaukee Preparatory School, ceased operating earlier this month after an audit by the state education department of all 17 schools in the program, said Greg Doyle, a department spokesman.
The closings affected 356 students, many of whom have re-entered the Milwaukee public schools, although exact numbers were not available last week, a district spokeswoman said.
According to the audit, the two schools had collected almost $600,000 in payments from the Wisconsin taxpayers since the beginning of the school year. It was unclear how much of that money the schools may not have been entitled to, officials said.
Poor Planning
Milwaukee Preparatory reported it had 175 students who were entitled to vouchers, when it may have had as few as 20, the department reported. Exito Education Center reported 174 students enrolled in the voucher program, but the state audit counted only 124.
Rep. Annette "Polly" Williams, the state legislator who sponsored the original bill in 1990 that created the voucher program, defended the two schools. She said the differences stemmed not from deception, but from poor planning and high expectations on the part of administrators at those schools.
The state law that created the program allows for 65 percent of the students at a school to be in the voucher program.
Ms. Williams said that many of the schools in the voucher program, in planning for the current school year, counted on an expansion of the program that was passed by the legislature last year and signed by Gov. Tommy Thompson.
That legislation would allow a school's entire enrollment to be made up of students from the voucher program.
Legal Challenge
The expansion, which also would have allowed religious schools to participate, has been tied up in the courts.
A lawsuit filed in August by the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association is currently before the state supreme court (See Education Week, Sept. 6, 1995). A hearing is scheduled for Feb. 27, said Richard Perry, a lawyer for the union.
Ms. Williams said that because the expanded program did not take effect, some schools did not get as much state money at the beginning of the school year as they had expected.
"These schools, just like any other business, have got to have their own start-up money," Ms. Williams said.

Angola has long been known as having a significant number of residue landmines as a result of the 27 year-long civil war. United Nations estimates in 2008 listed the number of Angolan landmines range between 10 and 20 million, which equates to at least 1 to 2 land mines for every person in the country. The U.N. estimates put the number of Angolan amputees resulting from the silent killers at over 100,000. Land mines have a devastating effect upon the environment by restricting the movement of people, deterring farming, disrupting economies, and killing and mutilating many innocent men, women, and children .
Active landmine clearance is continuing and in 2010 a total of 5,512 landmines, 4989 of which were anti-personnel and 523 anti-tank mines, were cleared and destroyed in Angola's 17 provinces.
In conjunction with the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, Monday, April 4th, The HALO Trust, the world's oldest and largest humanitarian landmine clearance organization, has released the results of a study it conducted on how previously mined land is used after HALO has cleared it. The study verified the tremendous impact that mine clearance has on food security in rural communities in Angola: 100% of HALO-demined land was put back into productive use: the vast majority for agriculture (72%) followed by animal grazing (16%). The release of former minefields to some of the world's most vulnerable people enables communities to become food self-sufficient and less reliant on aid .
Other key findings include the fact that cleared land is normally put into productive use in about three months as well as the fact that 32% of beneficiaries interviewed reported selling crops (most commonly beans, maize and potatoes) they have grown on cleared land.
In addition to making arable land safe for cultivation, HALO's mine clearance has opened over 3,250 miles of roads in Angola. This has enabled aid and development projects to occur in previously inaccessible areas and has helped farmers get their goods to market.
HALO's demining efforts have saved lives and benefited agricultural development in post-conflict countries for over two decades. The impact of mine clearance on food security has also been quantified in Nagorno Karabakh, where with the support of USAID, HALO estimates it is helping unlock $5 million in annual agriculture productivity in an area with a population of approximately 120,000. In Nagorno Karabakh, Angola and in other mined countries, HALO believes the economic and food security opportunities are much greater.(HALO Trust Press Release)

President George Bush maintained his collision course with the Democrats in Congress over the use of torture when he wielded a rare presidential veto on Saturday to block legislation that would have banned the CIA from applying force when interrogating terror suspects.
The president threw out a bill initiated by the Democrats that would have limited the CIA to a range of methods set out by the army.
The legislation would have outlawed coercive techniques including waterboarding, the process of simulating drowning that has been a source of prolonged hostility between the White House and Congress over the past year.
Bush said that any attempt to restrict CIA interrogators would weaken them in the fight against al-Qaida. He claimed the CIA had used its own secret methods to foil several attacks, including plans to attack Heathrow, to fly a plane into the US Bank Tower in Los Angeles and to hit the US consulate in Karachi.
"This is no time for Congress to abandon practices that have a proven track record of keeping America safe," he said. But Democrats accused him of failing to put the torture debate to rest.
"Torture is a black mark against the United States," said Dianne Feinstein, the California senator who is a member of the Senate intelligence committee.
The legislation would have limited CIA interrogators to using the same 19 techniques that the military set out in its army field manual in the wake of the Abu Ghraib scandal. The manual forbids the use of force and specifically rules out waterboarding, hooding, use of dogs, forced nudity or sexual acts.
Next week the Democrats will attempt to overturn the veto, although the mathematics are not promising. It would take a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress to revive the bill, and the Democrats commanded only a narrow majority when they passed the legislation.
The interrogation controversy has led to deep tensions between branches of government, with the White House and CIA on one side and the Pentagon, state and justice departments on the other.
The director of the CIA, Mike Hayden, was swift to praise the Bush veto, arguing that the field manual was inappropriate as a guide for the CIA as the two institutions "have different missions, different capabilities and therefore difference procedures".
Hayden has come under intense pressure over the issue of torture in recent months. In February he revealed to a congressional committee that he had banned waterboarding from CIA interrogations in 2006, confirming that it had been used on only three al-Qaida suspects in 2002/3. He said he could not be sure of its legality under today's laws.
However, it remains on the CIA's list of tools, and could still be used if approved by the president and attorney general.
The subject may become a factor in the November presidential elections. The Republican nominee, John McCain, who was himself tortured, in Vietnam, has been a vocal opponent of waterboarding, but he approved the Bush veto on the grounds that the CIA should not be bound by a public army manual.

Spinning gold Chiara Vigo is the last producer of Sea silk, byssus, the finest fabric spun from the filament of Pinna Nobilis, the largest Mediterranean bivalve. Trawling destroyed the habitat of the Pinna Nobilis, which led to it's virtual extinction.and caused the demise of this ancient craft. Taught by her grandmother Chiara collects the solidified saliva of the pen clam in the spring, leaving the clam unharmed.
"Weaving the sea silk is what my family has been doing for centuries. The most important thread, for my family, was the thread of their history, their tradition."Chiara does not do this as a commercial enterprise it is too painstaking and the raw material too rare. This craft is a spiritual one, a creation for luck and fortune as Chiara say's;
"It would be like commercialising the flight of an eagle."
"You have to be respectful to the place you live in. You are just passing by, these places are here to stay. And the sea has its own soul and you have to ask for permission to get a piece of it." Chiara Vigo

Sangria or Pinot Noir, white or red, dry or sweet, wine is an exceptional drink. Do you want more information? Keep reading to find out all about wine.
Make sure you attend several wine tastings. These events can help you get out of your wine comfort zones. Turn it into a social gathering. Take along friends that enjoy wine as well. You will have fun with your guests while learning new things about wine.
Preserve the flavor of your wine by storing it properly. Temperatures that are extremely hot or extremely cold can damage the taste of any wine. Store your wine at a temperature of 50 to 55 to get the best taste. You can use a special wine refrigerator or simply store them in a cool basement.
Drink wine less often during your week if you're having a headache after drinking it when you eat. Wine contains sulfites, which is an ingredient that can cause headaches in people. Drinking in moderation can help eliminate the issue.
Do not let the sulfite warnings on the labels scare you. While any wine contains sulfites, only those bottled in America must make note of this on the label. In rare instances, sulfites may cause an allergic reaction to certain individuals.
Try different things when you are going out to buy wine. Trying a new wine is an excellent way to learn about new countries and wines. Read the shelf cards, try a wine from a different country or ask for a recommendation from the shop owner. Your new favorite kind of wine could be in the least likely places.
Between getting the best wine for your tastes and finding which wines go with which foods, being educated on wine enhances your experience with it. You will have the confidence you need to leave an impression on guests. Remember what you have learned here next time you are selecting a wine.

Lap dancers provide evidence for human estrus | Dr Shock MD PhD
Ten Unusual Experiments in the Name of Science – The Ovulating Lap Dancer | UA Magazine
The results: Normally cycling strippers (not on birth control) earned about US$ 335 per 5-hour shift during estrus, US$260 per shift during the lower fertility phase, and US$185 per shift during menstruation. Why exactly? The psychologists are not sure. It could be related to smell, or sound maybe, but this should be investigated in further research.
Lap-Dance Science - New York Times
"Studies like this," Miller says, "can tell us about the nature of human sexuality and attraction and answer important questions scientists have been debating for decades." For example: Conventional scientific wisdom says that almost all mammals except humans go into estrus (a k a "heat"). Cats yowl and raise their hind ends in the air; female primates get visibly engorged in relevant areas. But humans, scientists have long believed, do no such things. Miller and Jordan's research indicates otherwise. "It's highly controversial because it's science blurring the line between humans and other primates," Miller says, "but our results give clear economic evidence that human estrus actually does exist."
Next they hope to uncover how women signal that they're in estrus: Do they smell different? Sound different? Their research could have practical applications as well. "The findings that estrus impacts earnings could have implications for women selling cars or giving big presentations as C.E.O.'s,'' Miller says. ''Should women schedule big job interviews during certain weeks of the month? We don't know. But maybe."

Writing prompts, like most things in life, come in a variety of packages. Basically, there are three types: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Rather than tell you about these different styles of prompts, the following is written as an experiment to show you how well each works.
To take those three types of prompts in reverse, I'll start with…
The Ugly
Most of us do not consider all the previous topics I have posted on this blog when we begin to write our family stories and childhood memories. Frankly, knowing about Getting Started, Timelines, Writer's Block, Organizing Your Stories, Revising, Point of View, etc. is not necessary for you to write a wonderful selection of stories for your descendants. You only need to begin with any memory that your recall.
SO…let's begin with that memory….
Well? Have you written on that memory? Could you think of a memory or are you still deciding upon which one to write? Was that ugly or what? Imagine doing that for all your childhood stories. How quickly would you get discouraged?
The Bad
Ok, now, let's try this experiment. For the remainder of this article, do each step as you read it. Do not look ahead as you will only cheat yourself. Try this little test, and allow me show you the differences between writing prompts and how they affect your stories.
First, take a couple sheets of paper, your favorite writing tool, and a clock or timer.
Next, set your timer for two minutes or watch a clock, if possible, while you write.
Write any and everything that comes to mind for the next two minutes on the prompt below. Write down whatever you are thinking, even if it is not on-topic. You may have to write that you cannot think of anything.
PROMPT: Write about a time when you were a child in your neighborhood.
Stop when you reach two minutes.
Were you able to choose a story quickly or did you spend much of the time thinking? How much did you write?
The Good
Read the following prompt and do the suggested drawing. Then proceed to write your story. After you have written, answer the questions below the prompt.
"Memoing" My Memories Topic 8: The Neighborhood
It is time to focus on your neighborhood as a child and the activities and the events surrounding it. No doubt this could result in countless stories, so we will start with a great brainstorming technique to give you the bases for future writings, as well.
If you lived in more than one home, pick one for now, but try this with all of them, if you can. A neighborhood could just be the block on which you lived or the few houses surrounding your rural home.
First, think back to what your neighborhood was like. Was it rural, urban, or suburban? Did you live in a large or small town, in the middle of the city or on the perimeter?
Who were the neighbors? Can you remember their names? Which houses were theirs?
Was there a unique member of your neighborhood...a kind person who asked you to do errands and tipped you enough for a candy bar or ice cream...a grouchy person whose yard often harbored your baseball or balsa wood airplane...the person whom no one knew well…? Was there a bully on the block? (Even if it was YOU!)
What games did you play in the street or yards with neighbor kids? What games differed from the summer through the winter? Where did you play—a vacant lot, the end of the street, a particular yard? Did everyone get along?
After thinking about these things, draw a map of your childhood street. Add some features unique to each house and the names of the people in the houses. Now choose an event centered on this area and write. Be certain to jot down other ideas on which to write later. There is no doubt many great stories to tell….

1. For the last exercise were you able to start writing within two minutes of completing your neighborhood map?
2. Which prompt produced the most ideas for writing?
3. By drawing the map of your neighborhood did you recall more events than with the first prompt?
4. Was it more difficult to write a story with the second prompt as you may have had many ideas?
5. Which method do you feel would be more beneficial to you in writing your childhood stories for your descendants?
The ugly business of trying to write your memories as they pop into your head is quite difficult given the busy lives we conduct. Perhaps memories might be triggered by events in our daily activities, but by the time we sit down to write, they may be gone. Often, by waiting until story ideas occur to us, we are apt to tend to other needs in life.
There are many, many bad prompts in books and on the internet. Many of us have received books from our children or grandchildren with these types of prompts and a lined page on which to write. Few people start these books and even fewer complete them. This type of one-line prompt can be useful, but lacks enough stimuli to assist people in writing quickly. You waste precious time "thinking" about a prompt when you could be writing.
The good prompts are those which do not waste your time, which provide suggestions to stimulate your memory, and which give you more than one idea for a story. This often cannot be done with one-sentence prompts.
The above prompt, The Neighborhood, is from my booklet "Memoing" My Memories which is available for sale. This booklet has 130 prompts using this detailed style to assist you in recalling your family stories and childhood memories. Although there are only 130 prompts, they are written to provide you with many more story ideas for each topic. The booklet also contains organizational tips, information on how to write a timeline when you do not have time to write longer stories, ideas for improving verbs and sentence structure, and some general writing tips. The booklet is spiral bound with a heavy cardstock cover and 70 pound Vellum pages.

STM32WB series of Wireless MCUs
The STM32WB dual-core MCUs with wireless support are based on an Arm® Cortex®‐M4 core running at 64 MHz (application processor) and an Arm® Cortex®‐M0+ core at 32 MHz (network processor). With two totally independent cores, this innovative architecture is optimized for real‑time execution (radio‑related software processing), resource use flexibility, power management, and BOM cost, to bring better user experience.
The STM32WB platform is an evolution of the well‐known market-leading STM32L4 ultra‑low‑power series of MCUs. It provides the same digital and analog peripherals suitable for applications requiring extended battery life and complex functionalities.
STM32WB proposes a variety of communication assets, a practical crystal-less USB2.0 FS interface, audio support, an LCD driver, up to 72 GPIOs, an integrated SMPS for power consumption optimization, and multiple low-power modes to maximize battery life.
On top of wireless and ultra‐low‐power aspects, a particular focus was placed on embedding security hardware functions such as a 256‐bit AES, PCROP, JTAG Fuse, PKA (elliptic curve encryption engine), and Root Secure Services (RSS). The RSS allows authenticating OTA communications, regardless of the radio stack or application.
The STM32WB55 Bluetooth 5 -certified device offers Mesh 1.0 software support, multiple profiles and flexibility to integrate proprietary BLE stacks.
OpenThread-certified software stack is available. The radio can also run BLE/OpenThread protocols concurrently. The embedded generic MAC allows the usage of other IEEE 802.15.4 proprietary stacks like ZigBee®, or proprietary protocols, giving even more options for connecting devices to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Having by happenstance seen the classic 1951 film, "The African Queen," the other night, I began immediately to read a book on one of the living room shelves, "The Making of 'The African Queen,' by the actress Katharine Hepburn.
The subtitle, "How I Went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind," is not completely accurate. The eccentric Hepburn is in command throughout this book of about 130 pages. And although the book appeared 36 years after the film's release, Hepburn's eye for detail at age 75 is astonishing.
". . . there are some happenings you can't forget," she wrote in circa 1987, or 16 years before she died. "This happened to me with "The African Queen." I remember it in minute detail — I can see every second of its making and of me at the time. . . . "
Once I became accustomed to Hepburn's unique writing style — jumping suddenly from past to present and back again along with the unusual punctuation — I began to enjoy the book. Her eye for the odd behavior of the director John Huston and the daily goings-on of the male lead Humphrey Bogart aka Bogie and Bogart's wife Betty, who is better known as the actress Lauren Bacall.
For example, she writes about Bogart:
"Bogie was funny. A generous actor. And a no-bunk person. He just did it. He was an actor who enjoyed acting. Knew he was good. Knew his lines. Always was on time. Hated anything false. Hated his hairpiece as he began to need one . . . ."
But much of this book is about Hepburn's impressions of her first visit to the Dark Continent and how she dealt with the language barriers, the weather, the food and bad water and the bug. bilharzia, which almost brought the film to a halt.
The Riuku River, a tributary of the Congo, served as the primary film location. In a later location in Uganda, the proper Ms. Hepburn startles the film crew by going on an elephant hunt with Huston. Bacall wanted her to stay and help the crew prepare food, but, no.
"Live dangerously," Hepburn wrote about the incident. "There's a lot to be said for sinning."
The film won an Oscar for Bogart and nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress (Hepburn) and Best Director, (Huston).
As for the boat itself, The African Queen, it was discovered in Cairo in the 1970s, purchased, refitted and now is docked at Key Largo, Florida. Shortly after Hepburn wrote her book, the boat was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hi Ladies,
Today I will review my newest favorite lipstick, it is the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine #8 Pink in Confidence. Here are some pictures,
|Wihout Flash
|With Flash
Originally I wanted to buy the regular YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick, but when I swatched them on the store, they seems really...pigmented. Not a bad thing of course, but because this is my very first time buying the expensive YSL lipstick, I must be able to wear it everyday :)
The color I have is #8 Pink in Confidence, a medium pale pink lipstick with warm brownish undertone and slight shimmer in it. Boring but very pretty. It doesn't wash out my NC25 skin. I love it. With one swipe, It gives me a sheer finish, layer it several times and I get more opaque color.
The texture is wonderful, creamy and glides on easily. Just like the name, it shiny, and stay shiny. Moisturizing and very comfortable on my lips. Longevity is average, but it is not a problem for me, I like to touch up my lipstick. When I was a little, I saw my mother and my aunt re-apply their lipstick throughout the day, so I always think about it as a very womanly thing to do :D
Price: S $ 45 in YSL store, Ior Orchard
See my other haul here:http://vixenlady.blogspot.com/2013/03/singapore-beauty-haul-chanel-dior-ysl.html?showComment=1363450069321#c530673018349136362
And I don't mind doing the touch up with this lipstick in front of my friends! just look at the packaging! very glamorous gold tube with YSL logo on it, very pretty, it reminds me with lipstick packaging that 50's women had in their purse.
Overall I'm in love with this lipstick, this is officially my new addiction. Hopefully soon I have the money to buy more of this lipstick, and of course I will try the regular YSL Rouge Volupte formula. I can't wait for it.

Motherhood is
One of the best decisions we made with Jarvis was to teach sign language.
Now he's talking even more, but those basic signs are still used daily!
My favorite is 'help,'
so much nicer to see that and not hear a screaming child!
(SOOC- straight out of camera, no editing)
Here he is signing help. And I think 'please' is my second favorite!
He still fusses and scream and shrieks when he wants attention. But he *usually* attempts to communicate with signs before he gets too upset. That was my goal. Because and inability to communicate frustrates toddlers and mamas alike. We were able to teach him that he could ask for what he wanted before he could even talk. I'm not sure how much more sign language we will teach him. I love it, but I don't know very much. But I am grateful we did the signs we taught him, they helped bridge the time between knowing what he wants and being able to use language to ask for it.
What signs did you teach? We taught: more, help, please, milk, and all done. We've also been working on signing the alphabet, and he can now sign o, and m.

All of us come from a parachuting background initially, we were born into families of parachutists, and started learning at an early age: 17 for Fred (1996) and 15 for Vince (2000). At that time, the end of the 90s, Freeflying was a new sport that was taking the world by storm. Right from the start, we were drawn to this new sport.Our desire for precise and high-performance flights led us to compete. Between 2002 and 2009, both of us were members of the French national team (Babylon). We remained unbeaten between 2004 and 2009. Freeflying offers unlimited flight possibilities in all dimensions of space. Its only limits are those of the human mind's imagination : vertical and angle flights, in smaller or bigger groups, and more often than not, at high speeds. Swooping is also one of our sports. This sport is part of Skydiving. The idea of this sport is to get the most out of acceleration under the wing to land with enough energy to fly as close to the ground as possible, for as long as possible. We've been doing this at the end of each jump for years. This enabled us to get into competitions as well as into mountain swooping. Vince is a specialist of freestyle landings and also includes "figures" into his landings.

Oyster Max® is a high potency oyster extract powder. Each 43 gram bottle of capsules contains the concentrated extract of 13.2 pounds of oysters. It contains:
OysterMax® has been proven beneficial in the treatment of many conditions. This high potency extract can help increase energy levels and offset the symptoms of fatigue. OysterMax® also boosts the immune system and helps maintain collagen and keratin production for faster wound and injury healing and healthier skin, hair and nails.
The oysters in OysterMax® are specifically targeted for harvesting to provide the maximum amount of trace elements available. Oysters are the highest natural source of zinc, 10 times higher in fact than the next source, which is red meat. However, it also has important zinc balancing co-factors such as manganese, copper and selenium. Taking synthetic zinc on its own can be dangerous as too much is as bad as too little and other elements like copper can become depleted if zinc is taken on its own. That's why studies show that taking Zinc losenges is, in most cases, worse than doing nothing!
The trace elements in OysterMax® are balanced with each other as nature intended, because they come from an animal source, not from a chemical factory. Together these elements along with many of the other micronutrients in OysterMax® provide the building blocks for over 300 enzymes in the body. These are involved in reactions that control everything from the way we look and feel to strong immunity and healthy libido.
Prostate problems affect a large percentage of the male population over 50 years of age. These problems manifest as hyperplasia or swelling of the prostate, impotence, extra trips to the bathroom and worst of all, cancer. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Every man should be familiar with one very important aspect to prostate health regarding which they have complete control and this is the area of Zinc nutrition.
The prostate gland contains the highest concentration of Zinc of any organ in the human body. Scientists also know that cancerous prostate glands have less zinc than healthy ones. Scientists also know that Zinc is more of a preventative measure than curative since Zinc supplementation had little effect on already cancerous prostate cells.
Research conducted at the Linus Pauling institute in Oregon State University has shown that prostate swelling usually precedes prostate cancer. This swelling or hyperplasia has been shown to be associated with Zinc deficiency. While they did not conclude that this swelling was a precursor to prostate cancer, it is almost always seen prior to the onset of the cancer. They also showed in the course of these investigations (in vitro) that this prostate swelling could be reduced by adequate Zinc intake. In fact the prostate cells that were beginning to swell underwent programmed cell death or apoptosis when Zinc deficiency was corrected.
In other words, it appears that maintaining an adequate amount of Zinc in the body would be a good policy for helping to prevent the onset of prostate problems. In this regard, OysterMax® is a best choice, as it is balanced by nature with all the synergistic elements that are also needed. It not only contains Zinc, but all of the 59 trace elements the body needs.
What are the Benefits?
Clinical trials on human volunteers have shown that the bioactive compounds in OysterMax® have a direct effect on the antioxidant capacity of blood serum. This effect was seen very quickly. Free radicals in the blood were reduced by 90 within 8 days of starting the treatment.This effect was due partly to the direct anti-oxidant effect of certain bio actives in OysterMax® and also in part due to the discovery that OysterMax® increased the production of Glutathione in the body. Glutathione is a major anti oxidant in the body and it protects all cells from oxidative damage.
Oxidative damage, especially in the mitochondria of the cells, causes the cells to produce less energy. As a result all chemical reactions in the body suffer from reduced efficiency. Symptoms include fatigue, compromised immunity, premature aging and reduced libido.

OysterMax® can be taken however one wishes, as long as four capsules are consumed daily, i.e. take them all at once for breakfast, or one for breakfast, lunch and dinner, two for breakfast, one for lunch, etc.

It can be all too easy to forget about Instagram in the mixture when formulating your online marketing strategy. Compared with Facebook, Instagram has comparatively few users and it's not as clear how it can be monetized.
There's no content in individuals and an image don't need images in their Instagram web feed telling them sign up to their mailing list… or to ' buy now' With all that in mind, why would you invest lots of time or cash into the platform?

Out now! Grauglanz – 'at the end of all paths'
'at the end of all paths' a new release by Grauglanz on Turmoil Music!
Influenced by Berlin School and other early electronic and progressive music, Grauglanz started making music more than 30 years ago, but first released an album in 2012.
His new album 'at the end of all paths' is inspired by the general feeling, that every bad news is only the precursor for much worse events to come.
But according to Grauglanz, that´s just the way of life. "Everything must end, our personal time, our being as mankind… and one day our lovely earth will die too. Our life, our civilization, all of this is really just a short moment in eternity. So in all honesty, what is really important? We all have only this day to share…"
So simply smell the wind, feel the sun and enjoy. One morning it will all be over. Either way…
In spite of all gloomy tunes, 'at the end of all paths' does not want to be a typical dark album about the last days of doom. Although the theme includes that the end of things could be near, the true perspective is change, growth, and evolution…

'The Bachelorette' Review: "Week Five"
This week on 'The Bachelorette,' Emily threatens to "rip off" a certain suitor's limbs "and beat him with them," all while taking in the romance and history of London. So pour yourself a spot of tea and prepare for a downpour of drama across the pond, ya'll!
As she spends some quality time with her daughter, Ricki, Emily informs us that she'll be meeting up with 10 guys in London. Out of context that sounds pretty sleazy. Heck, even in context...
This week, Em will go on a group date and two one-on-ones. First up is a date with Sean who is "stoked" to have some alone time with the woman of the (two, ugh) hours.
After a tour of London in a private double-decker bus, the couple takes as many pictures of themselves as possible. In a voice that doesn't sound much older than her 6-year-old daughter's, Emily announces all the tourist traps they're hitting along the way. Sean doesn't recognize Big Ben at first, but he's not looking for a 150-year-old clock, he's looking for true love.
Back at the hotel, Kalon says any date with Emily is a group date because of her daughter, though Jef-with-one-F looks appalled. Meanwhile, Emily and Sean happen upon London's "Speaker's Corner" in Hyde Park. When invited to get up on the soapbox, Sean delivers a monologue about love that makes Emily swoon. She rewards him by taking him to a prison for dinner. How romantic.
The two head to the Tower of London, where King Henry VIII once lived. (And we know how well his relationships worked out.) Emily makes jokes about beheading Sean if he doesn't live up to her expectations. Later on, we see just how serious Em is about making heads roll.
At dinner, Emily tells Sean she wants to have lots of kids, which is fine with him though one or two is more his speed. But Emily is thinking in the Octomom range, giving Sean the nervous giggles.
Back at the hotel, Ryan reads aloud the group date invite. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" it says and the boys piece together that it has something to do with Shakespeare. (Oh no...) Chris, Arie, Ryan, Doug, Alejandro, Travis, John and Kalon are tapped to go on the group date. Kalon is bummed and thinks the whole thing smells more like "sh*t." Why won't Emily spend more alone time with him, he wonders. As for us, we're not wondering.
As their date comes to a close, Emily gives Sean a rose and makes out with him a bit. The next day, everyone heads to Stratford Upon Avon to butcher "Romeo and Juliet" in front of a group of horrified Londoners. Unfortunately, Emily has come down with a cold after swapping saliva with 10 plus guys within two days.
Emily just wants the guys to have fun but a few of them are taking this Shakespeare thing way too seriously. Namely, Kalon, who feels he was born to play Romeo. His scene opposite Emily as Juliette is like a bad summer stock audition and she's not feeling it. On the other hand, Travis and Ryan have fun with their roles and even uptight Arie loosens up a bit, playing a woman. And as it happens, Emily is much more attracted to Arie in drag.
Afterwards, Emily and the boys head to a pub for some brews and the kind of drama that would make Shakespeare roll over in his grave. Everyone vies for some private time with Em and Arie is especially anxious. He gets Emily alone outside by the water and makes out with her, as a nearby swan ducks its head in disgust. Inside the pub, Ryan tries to woo Emily with a necklace he pulls out of his pocket. Though, we really keeps unpackaged jewelry in pockets?
Meanwhile, Kalon continues to bitch about having to wait to spend time with "an exhausted, sick mother who has a child waiting on her." Obviously, Kalon feels like he was sold a bill of goods. Who would sign on for a show with that title? Doug would. He gets pissed and decides to tell Emily what Kalon's really all about because she'll never find out on her own, since she refuses to spend time with him.
Clearly shaken, Emily tells Doug she wants to handle the matter in a "ladylike" fashion but really all she wants to do is go "West Virginia backwoods hood rat on his a**." Yes, please! This show would be so much better for it. Let's see the real Emily shine through.
But no. Instead, Emily confronts Kalon in front of the guys and he makes a feeble, half-hearted attempt to clarify why he referred to her child as "baggage." Emily isn't buying it and Kalon doesn't care enough to try harder so she tells him to "get the f*ck out." Afterwards, Doug smells blood in the water and tries to go in for the kill but Emily wants to be alone with her thoughts about why she signed up for this circus to begin with.
When she returns to the pub, Emily tells the guys she's upset that no one called Kalon out sooner. The boys scramble to do damage control. Arie says he admires Em's intuition in the matter. (Um, if she had that, wouldn't Kalon have been gone weeks ago?) Emily says she needs time to process and therefore, will not be handing out a rose that night.
Emily tells us she's beginning to wonder if these guys are who they say they are. Can she really trust them? Who's got her back? Are any of these clowns really willing to ride or die for Emily? C'mon ya'll!
The next day, Jef-with-one-F is tasked with cheering Emily up on their one-on-one. They start out their date with high tea and an etiquette lesson. Not exactly what Jef-with-one-F had hoped for. Emily isn't feeling it either and they decide to dine and ditch. The two head to a bar for beers, and fish and chips. Jef tells Emily he was there when Kalon called her kid baggage and somehow she lets him off the hook for not running to her immediately. Jef than says that if Ricki were baggage, she'd be "a Chloe handbag he'd want to have forever."
Hold the line. How the hell does Jef-with-one-F know what a Chloe hangbag is? Remember that intuition of Emily's Arie said was so keen? On top of that, Emily questions if Jef is really attracted to her.
The couple heads to the London Eye for desert where Jef tries to convince Emily he'd embrace living with her and Ricki. In fact, he says when Em comes home from work she'd find Jef and her daughter dancing and singing into hairbrushes. I have no doubt about that.
Emily is dying for Jef to kiss her and he finally works up the nerve. The two engage in a lengthy makeout sesh as their evening comes to a close. Needless to say, Jef-with-one-F gets a rose.
Time for the Rose Ceremony and a couple of interrogation sessions just short of waterboarding. Emily puts the remaining seven dudes on the spot, asking who has her back and who would lay the smackdown on anyone who talked trash about her and Ricki. Ryan decides to give Emily another surprise: more bad acting with their scene from Romeo and Juliet. She eats it up.
Most of the guys skate by but Arie feels he bombed during his alone with Emily. She proves him right, saving the last rose for him. Doug, Ryan, Chris, John, Travis and Arie get roses in that order. Alejandro is out but that's not surprising since he and Emily barely exchanged names.
Next week, it's off to the "romantic and medieval" Croatia where Emily will probably mack with everyone, everywhere insuring her cold won't go away, anytime soon.

When we first heard about Viva Aviv opening its "naval themed and pirate inspired bar" on the concrete banks of the Chao Phraya river we instantly conjured up visions of swashbuckling pirates, rum bottles, fist fights over treasure and a chronic case of scurvy. Pirates are the coolest. Alas, Viva Aviv is nothing more than a fashionable and slightly quirky bar and bistro with a prime location at the River City Shopping complex. Looks like KohSpot is going to have to open a real pirate bar with real pirates (Somalians?). In the meantime, we will review Viva Aviv.
Viva Aviv is Hyde & Seek on a river. Oh, it's the same owners? Got it. We arrive at Viva Aviv with the thirst and hunger one can only acquire after hours of flying around on a water powered jet pack. "It's happy hourrrr" the cute yet slightly duckish looking waitress informs us. "Great, we'll take ten". Consumption is our duty as citizens of a capitalism. Viva Aviv follows a similar cocktail path as Hyde & Seek, offering coffees by the popular Doi Chaang, a robust wine list and creative cocktail creations. We sample the drink of the week, which is nothing more than your basic rum and coke for 199B. Dissapointing. Yet, there are other options that are backed with a more imaginative twists such as the Sailor's Grog 300B (Appleton white and special rum, tropical fruit and spices).
Food at Viva Aviv is well executed yet predictable. Snacks like the corquet balls 180B (creamy mushroom risotto deep-fried and served with an understated yogurt sauce are delightful, but the Wine Companion 280B (various cheeses, cold cuts and olives) is dilapidated in rations and vagrant in presentation. The real winner is the Caliente + Perro at 225B (chorizo, rum braised onions and paprika-aioli on a soft bun). Our Taste buds approve.
Viva Aviv is gaining traction as the go-to spot for Sunday partying. With a lively atmosphere, sunset gazing and an attractive crowd we can see why. The party is called Kolour.
Sorry, we are still thinking of pirates.
Viva Aviv
Location: River City – Unit 118, 23 Trok Rongnamkhaeng, Yota Road, Talad Noi, Sampantawong, Bangkok 10100, Thailand.

Hi Lovelies,
It's another wonderful sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesdays. I am loving that I am slowly building up my cards again all by making two cards from each sketch. I find that having a sketch cuts down on the amount of time that I waste. So here is this week's sketch & my take on it.
This card was suppose to be a kids birthday card! Funny how some cards have other ideas & I must admit I am pleased with the way this card turned out. I had so much fun using up more scraps & I must admit I did cut into one piece of 12 x 12" pp for the background. I stamped the butterfly three times. Once onto the background square & then twice onto the yellow dot pp. You can't really see it from this photo but I have layered the wings & used pop dots on the outer edge of the top wing & glue dots at the body just to make it more life like I guess. I then added some Stickles to the wing tips just for added fun.
This next card is just an example of what can be achieved with these sketches. There is no stamping at all on this particular card. I used pp & Stickers to create this one. I had forgotten that I had these gorgeous stickers & was trying to find something else for the card when I stumbled onto these & as they say I had an "Aha!" moment & put this card together really quickly. Had I planned this card I would have probably used a background stamp like this one & a soft Distress Ink like Bundled Sage or even Antique Linen.
Please Note: That to be eligable to enter the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Contest that you must include stamping on your project.

There will be a new face on 30 Rock when it returns from its strike-induced hiatus on April 10: Mayor Bloomberg. It was just me and him, said Dean Winters, who'll be reprising his role as the Beeper King, Liz Lemon's sleazy ex, at a screening for Sleepwalking on March 11. He was fun, he was cool. And he's a naturalI think you have to be to be mayor of New York. The episode is called Subway Hero, and Bloomberg plays himself in a scene shot in City Hall. 30 Rock is a Made in NY' show, says City Hall spokesman Matthew Kelly, and is part of an industry that generates $5 billion in economic activity and supports 100,000 jobs, so the mayor was happy to make a cameo. Bloomberga card-carrying SAG member, Kelly noteshas previously appeared twice on Law & Order, and he'll also be in the Sex and the City movie.

Virgin Atlantic is a leading British airline, operating long-haul flights between London and North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. In 2001, the company launched a television ad campaign promoting the airlines' "Upper Class" service, a series of 30 second spots in which celebrities praised a particular feature.
Miss Piggy (puppeteered by Nigel Plaskitt and voiced by Eric Jacobson) appeared in one spot, praising the luxurious complimentary limo service, and telling the viewer that if their airline doesn't offer that, "Well, vous picked the wrong airline, buster! Kissy kissy."
Other stars appearing in the campaign included Lady Victoria Hervey, Iggy Pop, and Stephen Fry.

The American Physical Society was founded on May 20, 1899, when 36 physicists gathered at Columbia University for that purpose. They proclaimed the mission of the new Society to be "to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics", and in one way or another the APS has been at that task ever since. In the early years, virtually the sole activity of the APS was to hold scientific meetings, initially four per year.

Apple Rolls Out iOS 6 to iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch
Apple today released the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 6.
The free update is available for the iPhone 3GS and above, the iPad 2 and up, and fourth-generation iPod touch and beyond. The new iPhone 5 will come pre-loaded with iOS 6.
Users should be able to start downloading the update by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update on their iOS device (or by plugging their gadget into a PC/Mac). Once iOS 6 hits the device, there will be a "Download and Install" button (see below), provided you have enough space on your iDevice for the 597MB download.
The download process, however, will likely be very slow today with all the Apple fans eager to upgrade. If you can wait, it'll likely be a faster experience in the coming days.
Apple unveiled iOS 6 at its Worldwide Developer Conference in June, and announced at last week's iPhone 5 event that it would start rolling out Sept. 19. Among the more than 200 new features are a revamped Maps app, Siri on the iPad, as well as Facebook integration, and FaceTime video chat over cellular.
AT&T customers must have a shared data plan to access FaceTime over cellular; Verizon will allow access to the feature on all data plans.
There's also Passbook, which allows users to collect all passes - movie tickets, airline boarding passes, coupons from Target, store cards from Starbucks - in one place. The revamped OS will also support voice commands for apps; tell the iPhone to "launch Yelp," for example. The same goes for Facebook and Siri; users can post Facebook statuses from Siri by voice.
The updated mobile operating system will be missing two well-known features: the pre-loaded Google Maps and YouTube apps. Instead, Apple will replace Google Maps with its own in-house 3D mapping solution, while the YouTube app will be available in the App Store, not pre-loaded on the iOS home screen.
For more, see PCMag's full review of iOS 6 and the slideshow below, as well as How to Get Apple iOS 6.
