For two years, we lived in a block of flats tucked into one of the busiest streets in our suburb. For a time there, it was nice living here. The flats all desperately needed work done to them, but the neighbours were nice people, and we all got along, helping each other out and spending time together after work.
The blissful bubble was short-lived, however, as rent went up, many of those people were forced out, and new people came in – people so desperate for a place to live that they paid the higher rent. Nobody else would approve their rental applications.
Soon driveway cricket summer became "pretend we're not home" winter, where you'd refuse to answer the door unless someone used the secret knock.
The junkies upstairs spent time with the junkies across the driveway, alternating between friends and enemies, depending on the drug supply. The shouts and cries of domestic disputes seeped through cracks in windows and holes punched through bedroom doors.
It got much worse after we left, with the SWAT team coming in and molotov cocktails being thrown through windows. Today though, there's just some confused bread laying in the driveway.
Clearly, there are no ducks here. Nothing lives here by choice and aint nobody gonna fuck with a duck if it wants to leave… no, the bread is just another example of the bogan attitude that is the way of life in the ghetto; once something lands on a communal area within the bogan realm, it must either decompose on its own, get blown against the fence by the wind, or be broken down by wild animals, otherwise it remains there for all eternity (or until the landlord sends the cleaning man around to remove the shopping trolleys, broken doors, couches and mattresses).
Coming back here to visit a friend has been great. Nowadays, the flats are filled with schizophrenics going through sexual identity crises and an incest brother-sister-couple. The police have done a couple of patrols (we just assume the flats have been added to their beat) but nobody has been hurt or had anything stolen, so all in all, it seems to have been a successful stay.

The good old days: 24 seconds
Apart from doing a "beer mile" I think my competitive racing days are over. I made one last season of it when I returned to the US from Egypt, in 2005. And recently came across this photo showing me making my goal of 15K under 1 hour - with a whole 24 seconds to spare! :-)

Jan 3, 2015
A dark political fable from Andrey Zvyagintzev, this bitterly funny, tragic movie could be interpreted as a modern day retelling of Job's story about a man besieged by fate, lost in the belly of a whale, except in this case, he is besieged by the corruption and impunity of a local functionary who has seized his property, refuses to pay a fair price for it, and intends to build some grand monument in its place in a backwater in the middle of nowhere, Russia.
Winner of best screenplay at Cannes, Leviathan is not only a chronicle of the destructive powers of unimpeded graft, but also a look into a culture which harbors a dangerous combination of powerlessness and recklessness. This may be the movie where individuals drink the most in the history of cinema. Their shots of vodka are downed in 4-ounce glasses filled to the hilt. They chug vodka by the bottle. But then again, there is nothing else to do in this nameless northern town, home to fish packing factories, boat and whale carcasses, and abusive local authorities.
Zvyagintzev takes his time introducing us to his characters: Kolya, a car mechanic and volatile heavy drinker, who is not a bad man, his younger, unhappy second wife Lilya, and Kolya's ornery teenage son, Roma. Dima, a friend from Kolya's army days, comes all the way from Moscow to help Kolya defend himself against Vadim, the corrupt official who has all institutions in town, including the arrogant patriarch of the local church, in his pocket.
Because these people are human, they do all kinds of fucking up on their own besides trying to fight Vadim, which helps him destroy them and makes it a far more interesting movie than if they were just in a righteous crusade for justice (that would be the American version). Kolya built his house on a hill overlooking the bay with his own hands, it has been his family's land for generations, but Vadim cares not for roots, history or people. He uses a combination of drunken threats, the misapplication of the law, and their own recklessness to get them out of the way.
Before it turns tragic and appallingly ironic (in the real world impunity always wins), much fun is to be had observing local custom. Policemen who drive and shoot target practice while drunk out of their gourds (with children running around, to boot), teenagers with nothing to do but drink inside the ruins of an old church, women that counsel others not too drink so much while pouring them another hefty glass, and the ridiculous theater of bureaucracy in the guise of endless laws, articles, codes and paragraphs completely perverted to serve power, a sham designed to trick people into thinking they live in a lawful country.
If this is not a parable about life under Putin, I don't know what is. Mystifyingly, the movie got made with governmental support, which means that either the censors are idiots, or Putin wants to show the world that there is some sort of freedom of expression in Russia.
Leviathan is a fantastic movie. Anybody who has ever lived under brazenly corrupt regimes will understand in their bones the combination of frustration, exhaustion, outrage and ultimate capitulation that these Russian folks experience. You laugh until it sobers you up.

There are steps you as a parent can take to lessen the damage while not starting World War 3 with your kids.
One of your dentist worse nightmares is almost upon us…Halloween! And not because of patients coming in dressed as ghoulish witches or scary little devils but because this is prime time for sticky lollipops, gooey chocolate bars and chewy sugary candies. But there are steps you as a parent can take to lessen the damage while not starting World War 3 with your kids.
- Believe it or not but chocolate is better for your child's teeth than even raisins. Raisins, like gum, gummy worms and caramels take longer to chew and can easily get stuck between teeth.
- Don't make Halloween treats a battle. Set a certain number of candy pieces allowed each day for a certain number of days, then toss or donate the rest. That way your child won't feel deprived.
- Now is also a good time to talk to your children about why large amounts of candy are harmful to their teeth as well as their general overall health.
- I know it's tough to get your child to brush their teeth the recommended two times a day, much less have them brush every time they enjoy a piece of Halloween candy. But at least try to get them to rinse their mouths out with warm water as this helps reduce the amount of sugar left on the teeth.
- As difficult as it maybe, don't be the house on the block who gives out toothbrushes or fruit or pencils instead of candy. Halloween is all about spooky fun along with great candy choices…but all in moderation.

Bella, daughter billionaire owner of Globacom, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr, appears to have staged a return to the social scene after a long absence. After her high-octane wedding a few years ago, she reduced her social outings to concentrate on her marriage to Jameel Disu, the man that means the whole world to her.
Known to be selective about the invitations she honours, Bella put up a rare appearance at popular fun spot, D'place by Papas Entertainment, Lekki, Lagos, penultimate Friday. It was her first visit since the lounge was opened, and she went with a retinue of mobile policemen as escorts in two pickup vans.
On her entourage were popular singer, Dr. Sid, and Glo ambassador, Chidinma, among others. With an air of charm and grace, Bella sauntered into the venue and was met with looks of admiration that showed how adept she is in the style department.

OK, so it's been a while since I posted about 'the D word'... and honestly, I've been slack. I've not been consistent with watching my diet or with exercise.
And this might sound strange/contradictory, but it hurt when a friend said she was worried about me re: diet and exercise. I don't want people to lie to me and say I look good or whatever..., and being worried about implies caring..., but I wanted to yell "fuck you!!!".
I could've lied and said that I like the way I am and I am happy and... more lies...
I guess it hurt, because it's the truth - if anyone should be on a diet, it's me. I know this. I struggle with this.
At the same time I refuse to make myself miserable with yo-yo dieting and ridiculous restrictions that are impossible to keep up.
Annnnd I am sick of being the unhappy fat person that is uphappy about being fat but does nothing.
I was actually prompted to write today after reading this in stuff.co.nz:
I am on the journey of losing weight because if I don't I'll end up with diabetes - a place I don't want to be. So with shear guts, determination and setting goals that are achievable, I've started my journey.She has worked hard and achieved. Losing 20 kgs seems such an attainable goal to me - amazing effort!! Losing 5 kgs would be amazing... #inspired
I have a great GP who is encouraging and not judging. I visit monthly, weigh myself and he encourages me. I need to lose 40kg in total and I am half way there.
I have an amazing husband who calls out while I am on my cross trainer: "Way to go girl."
I started at five minutes and could do just a 1km with resistance zero. I thought that was the toughest thing.
Now, four months on I can do 7km in 30 minutes with resistance four. Six days a week I get out of bed have a cuppa, put on the trainers and off I go.
I have a food routine. I never used to have breakfast, but now I have a bowl of porridge with full cream milk. Yes, full cream. That's the dairy for the day. It tastes good and lasts the whole morning. No brown sugar.
When I first started, apples became my best friend and I would eat one when I needed something sweet and felt flat.
Lunch is two slices of wholegrain bread, a protein and salad sandwich, and some fruit with a cup of tea.
Dinner is a protein, low GI carb, mainly kumara, pumpkin, or wholegrain rice with unlimited vegetables. I choose the tasty colourful ones.
Food must look good and taste yum. Just because the meal has to be healthy doesn't mean it tastes yuck.
When I need a yummy snack, I have half a cup of nuts or a cracker with marmite because the crunch is what helps. But sometimes you just want the real sweet treat and that's what it is; a little, occasionally, is OK.
I managed Christmas without putting anything on.
I drink tea and coffee with no sugar. But if I want a slightly nicer drink I have diet lemon lime and bitters. And a wine every now and then.
I set myself short realistic goals in 5kg increments. The loss is a bit slower now, but I will keep going. It will take 12 months to get to my big goal, but at the moment I am focusing on the small losses, excited to think I can do this.
My five sons are encouraging me. My daughter-in-law cheers me on. The grandies love me.
I will achieve, but I also realise that it will never end: I am pre-disposed to easy weight gain. I need to keep this focus forever and that's the hard bit. The diabeties is in remission, but only while I maintain the discipline - that's the hard bit.
I have recognised my enemy, sugar, and it's everywhere. If the packet says low fat, the chance is it's loaded with sugar to make it taste good.
My friend is fresh vegetables and fruit. I eat in-season produce so the price stays low.
For those who struggle out there, go to your GP, be honest and work to set a path that, although hard, will get you there.

Insomniac Games' upcoming Spider-Man game for the PlayStation 4 is bringing two worlds together as it confirms the Avengers exist in this reality of New York City. Whether or not Thor will get to swing his hammer or Bruce Banner will appear as a mean, green, fighting machine, Spider-Senses are tingling about what could be on the horizon.
Adding to an already impressive roster of characters like Kingpin, Miles Morales, and Mary Jane Watson, the open-world structure of Spider-Man promises to be the biggest Spidey game to date , and it will introduce a whole host of famous Marvel faces. If Peter Parker's friends and foes from his comics weren't enough, there will be at least a tease of the Avengers when the game hits the PS4 later this year.
Related: Spider-Man PS4 Could Launch A Marvel Games Universe
Spider-Man got everyone talking thanks to its expansive E3 gameplay video and showcased new villains like Electro, Vulture, and Rhino, but there appears to be more heroes out there to help Web-Head's cause. Sony was keen to show off the size of Spider-Man's open world at E3, and YouTuber Caboose captured some gameplay showing off that scope, including a look at the Avengers tower in the game.
Skipping to the 53-second mark, a new-look Avengers Tower is clearly visible, but why doesn't it look like its big-screen counterpart? Considering Spider-Man is set outside Disney's MCU, players shouldn't expect Robert Downey Jr. to cameo as Tony Stark or to see an attack by James Spader's Ultron. Insomniac confirms that Spider-Man is set apart from the movies and could potentially be the first in a Marvel Games Universe, but for now, it's simply a standalone title.
If Spider-Man is a success, many are hoping that the title could be just the start of an MGU. Gamers will remember that Rocksteady broke the mold with its Arkham games but has yet to expand beyond the confines of a Batman-centric world. There is a gap in the market for a franchise of superhero games after rumors of a Rocksteady Superman game failed to materialize at E3. Considering Square Enix's untitled Avengers game still hasn't been revealed, now is the perfect time for Insomniac and Sony to cash in on the ever-expanding world of Marvel hype.
The Avengers themselves might not appear in Spider-Man, and although they presumably wouldn't be playable like MJ will be, it shows just how much thought has gone into Spider-Man as the start of something bigger. Only recently, promotional artwork for the game teased the Avengers mansion and Iron Man himself, along with the confirmation of Daredevil in the game. Spider-Man is already laying the foundation for whatever Marvel Games wants to do next. With Spider-Man coming on September 7, there isn't long to wait until Peter Parker will be swinging past the Avengers Tower on the PlayStation 4.

Event: Volleyball - Ferrum at Hollins (Roanoke, VA)
The lead: After defeating Ferrum College earlier this season, Hollins played host to the Panthers in the finale of a Saturday tri-match. Hollins defeated Ferrum 3-1 in Salem and looked to take the second of three matchups this season.
The result: Ferrum 3-2 (26-24, 21-25, 25-19, 22-25, 15-10)
How it happened: The Panthers took the first set with a late surge that erased a 21-24 deficit. Ferrum won five straight points to steal the first frame. The match would be played close throughout, with the two Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) foes alternating wins for the first four sets. Hollins would need to buck that trend to take their second match of the season against the Panthers. The Green and Gold took a lead, 7-5, with just one point remaining before the teams would switch sides of the court. However, Ferrum would score three straight to lead, 8-7, at the change. Hollins would quickly tie, but Ferrum scored three unanswered to pull away and take the finale, 15-10, and a hard fought 3-2 victory.
Hollins notes:
- Hollins was out-hit at the net 74-52
- Deja Hadden (18) and Kiki Speights (11) each recorded double-digit kills
- Brie Faircloth added eight kills, 13 digs, an assist, and a pair of blocks
- With 39 assists, Casey Mahan led all setters
- Hollins and Ferrum will hook up one more time this season in Hollins home finale, October 23rd
Ferrum notes:
- Ferrum had four attackers with double-digit kills, led by Kaelyn Daniel's 24
- 33 Ferrum attack errors kept Hollins in the match
- Cheyenne Strickland and Arielle Tritt combined to assist on 55 of the Panther's 74 kills
What's next: Hollins will play host to Mid-Atlantic Christian on Tuesday night. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm.

I enjoy posting excerpts for projects I'm working on. It's lots of fun and people really seem to like it. I particularly like the feedback from readers. I know I'm naive, but it never occurred to me that anyone would take one of my excerpts and pass it off as his own. Apparently, this is exactly what has happened. I write for pleasure, but I also write for money, and certainly can't risk this happening again. So, I can't post any more excerpts. I'm sorry.

Four inspirational Braidhurst High pupils received a Diana Award in memory of Princess Diana in the year that marks the 20th anniversary of her untimely passing.
Robbie Caldwell (15) is a young carer for his 12-year-old brother Ben, who has Downs Syndrome.
Providing practical and emotional support for his brother and mum, he has shown maturity beyond his years whilst balancing all of his responsibilities.
Keen to share his own experience, Robbie is always on hand to support other young carers through Action For Children's North Lanarkshire Young Carers Project.
Christopher Duncan (17) is a passionate advocate for autism awareness. Christopher is devoted to volunteering for The National Autistic Society.
Through day visits and weekend trips he helps provide respite for parents, whilst helping young people develop invaluable life skills and self-confidence, and giving them the opportunity to socialise with others.
His natural ability to care, lead and manage has made a significant impact on the lives of the young people he supports.
Emma Ewart (14) selflessly dedicates her time to volunteer every week as a leader for the 14th Motherwell Guide Unit, and her commitment has seen her go on to lead residential visits and large events such as the Tartan Gig.
She is also an active fundraiser, completing a 6km run and climbing Ben Nevis to raise money for Macmillan and St Andrews Hospice.
A positive role model within her school, Emma is an invaluable support to her peers.
Melissa Rodger (15) is passionate about bringing gender diversity into the world of engineering, actively taking a lead role in encouraging her female peers to take an interest in the subject.
Through her love of science, Melissa has devoted her lunchtimes and evenings to lead a robotics club for younger, more vulnerable pupils within her school, creating a fun and welcoming learning environment.
Her physics sessions are now so popular that there is a waiting list of pupils who want to join.
Head teacher Carolyn Rooney said: "As a school community we are both delighted and proud of the four winners of the Diana Award.
"They are great ambassadors for Briadhurst High and it is excellent to see their dedication and hard work both out with and in the school being recognised.
"Well done!"

The ocean predators can be taught to recognise shapes, and optical illusions, and remember them for at least a year
Despite old wives' tales to the contrary, goldfish actually possess excellent memories. Goldfish can be trained to nudge a lever for food, and even after the lever is removed, they can remember this trick for up to three months.
But goldfish now have some serious competition: sharks.
Dr Vera Schluessel at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University in Bonn, Germany has been researching the intelligence of the grey bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium griseum), a carpet shark that dwells in the Indo-West Pacific and reaches lengths of just over 2 ft (0.6 m).
Last year, Schluessel's PhD student Theodora Fuss subjected juvenile sharks to three different cognition experiments, one at a time, and then tested to see how long the sharks could remember their training. The results are published in the journal Animal Cognition.
Seeing shapes
First, Theodora showed that she could train sharks to recognise and remember shapes. She placed the sharks in a special holding tank, and projected an image onto one of its walls. Four sharks were taught to always choose a triangle, and received a small piece of food for pressing their nose on the triangle. The other four sharks were taught to always recognise a square, and were similarly rewarded.
Theodora then tested whether the sharks could transfer their ability to recognise the appropriate shape. The sharks were shown Kanizsa figures, a type of illusory diagram used to trick humans into "seeing" a certain shape. By aligning Pacmen-shaped figures in the right orientation, humans get the impression of a shape, "seeing" the edges of a shape when there aren't actually any edges (see image above).
Just like most humans, the sharks took the bait. Significantly more often than not, the sharks correctly chose the images with Pacmen properly aligned over figures with randomly rotated Pacmen.
Sharks now join the ranks of several other animals that can perceive optical illusions, including cats, monkeys, owls, chickens, and goldfish.
In sharks, the ability to fill in information from incomplete visual cues most likely translates to abilities that increase their chances of survival in the wild. These abilities might include recognising prey hiding in sand, or quickly finding a shelter to escape from a larger predator.
Not easily fooled
After the first set of experiments were complete, Theodora tested whether the sharks could learn to choose a hollow-square shape from a background of diagonal lines, and distinguish the square from a rhomboid on a similar background. The sharks learned that trick easily, requiring less training time than in the previous experiment.
The third experiment was perhaps the most impressive.
First, Theodora presented the sharks with lines of different lengths, and taught the sharks to always choose the longer line. Once the sharks had mastered that, Theodora tested whether the sharks could transfer that skill to another type of optical illusion, called a Müller-Lyer illusion.
The illusion consists of a series of arrow-like figures (see image above). By placing 'fins' on the ends of 'shafts' of equal length, humans are easily tricked into thinking a line is longer than it really is when the 'fins' face away from the end of the shaft.
The sharks were not fooled in the slightest. They were almost always able to tell the lines were the same length, despite the misleading 'fins' on the arrows.
By the time the third experiment was done, many weeks had passed. Theodora tested the sharks to see if they still remembered their training from the first experiment. Up to 50 weeks later, almost all the sharks still remembered which shape to select.
Even greater mental feats
A year is a lot longer than many other animals' ability to remember training. It's a long time not only for fish, but places gray bamboo sharks in fierce competition with birds such as crows, and even primates, such as humans.
Not all the individual sharks could remember their training a year later, however. During the training sessions, some sharks were faster to learn their tricks than others, too. Just like with traits such as size, shape, or colour, individuals vary in their ability to learn and retain memories.
Some of the sharks might have remembered their lessons for even longer than 50 weeks, but Theodora ended the study, to begin investigating which part of the shark brain is responsible for such feats of memory.
Unlike with mammals, it is currently completely unknown how and where in the brain sharks process, store, and retrieve memories.
The grey bamboo shark is a benthic feeder, swimming along the ocean floor, scooping up sand with its mouth and hoping to catch small fish, worms, shrimps, mollusks and crabs. This shark species was a much better visual learner than expected, but species that are visual hunters rely much more heavily on their sight than benthic feeders.
That means visual hunters such the Great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) might be capable of even greater mental feats.
'Jaws', it seems, might also have brains.

Validation in human trials may lead to a point-of-care diagnostic test
FRIDAY, Oct. 24, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Two protein markers may serve as biomarkers for chronic rhinosinusitis, according to a proof-of-principle study published in The Laryngoscope.
Subinoy Das, M.D., from The Ohio State University in Columbus, and colleagues conducted proteomic-based analysis of cultures of nontypeable Haemophilus influenza(NTHI) using in vitro and in vivo studies and a novel, experimental chinchilla polymicrobial sinusitis model. Nano-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry was performed and compared to a reference standard real-time, quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based assay.
The researchers found that outer membrane proteins P2 (OMP-P2) and P5 (OMP-P5) were identified as promising candidates for the detection of NTHI biofilms. These markers were positively detected in nasopharyngeal secretions of chinchillas experimentally infected with NTHI. For the presence of NTHI biofilms, an RT-PCR-based test demonstrated 100 percent sensitivity and 100 percent specificity when tested against eight unique strains commonly found in human bacterial rhinosinusitis.
"Collectively, these data support the use of OMP-P2 and OMP-P5 as biomarkers for a human clinical trial to develop a point-of-care medical diagnostic test to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of CRS," the authors write.

Ten Women Have Now Accused Russell Simmons Of Sexual Assault Or Harassment/
Ten Women Have Now Accused Russell Simmons Of Sexual Assault Or Harassment
Four more women have come forward to accuse music producer Russell Simmons of sexual assault. In what are becoming excruciating reads in the New York Times, former Def Jam Records employee Drew Dixon, former music journalist Tonie Sallie and performer Tina Baker allege that Russell Simmons raped them in encounters that span a period from 1988 to 2014.In a separate report published Wednesday in The LA Times, performer Sherri Hines alleged that Simmons raped her around 1983.
Simmons has responded: "I have re-dedicated myself to spiritual learning, healing and working on behalf of the communities to which I have devoted my life. I have accepted that I can and should get dirt on my sleeves if it means witnessing the birth of a new consciousness about women," Simmons said in a statement to the New York Times on Wednesday. "What I will not accept is responsibility for what I have not done. I have conducted my life with a message of peace and love. Although I have been candid about how I have lived in books and interviews detailing my flaws, I will relentlessly fight against any untruthful character assassination that paints me as a man of violence."
Because the Salma Hayek/Harvey Weinstein op-ed is waiting to be posted, and I just read that PBS has suspended Tavis Smiley after conducting a private investigation, I have nothing more to say about Russell Simmons behaving badly. Oh, and I must update Trump's attack on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Tracking all these guys is a full-time job these days.

Politics & Government
Rep. Yoder expects vote on farm bill in September
A farm bill is within reach, likely coming to a vote in September, said U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder.
Yoder represents suburban Kansas City but was visiting Sedgwick County as well as central and western Kansas on Friday in his role on the agriculture subcommittee of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee.
He stopped by the McCurry Brothers Angus farm west of Bentley to visit with members of the local Farm Bureau to hear specific concerns about farm policy and federal regulation of farming.
The first topic: the farm bill.
The Senate is expected to vote on its version of a farm bill on Monday, Yoder said, and he expects the House to vote on its version sometime this month.
The biggest difference between the two bills is the size of the cuts being made to the food stamp program, which provides assistance to low-income people.
Funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program has been a point of contention as Congress has tried – and failed – to pass a farm bill.
The Senate bill would cut about $400 million a year from the SNAP program, or about 0.5 percent. The House bill would cut SNAP spending by about $2 billion a year, about 3 percent, and partially eliminate the practice of automatically awarding food stamps when people sign up for certain other welfare programs.
Yoder said he expects the two bills to be sent to a conference committee to determine a single version before the August recess.
"That's where the hard work comes," he said. "If they add a lot of the SNAP money back in, you'll lose Republicans in the House. And if they take more out, they will lose Democrats in the Senate. Finding a bill that can be supported by the most liberal members of the Senate and the most conservative members of the House is very difficult … but I think we'll get it done before the end of September."
The last farm bill expired last year after the U.S. House couldn't pass a bill. The Senate approved a bill.
As the new farm bill is negotiated, Yoder said it's pretty clear that the direct payments to farmers are history, but that crop insurance programs will remain or grow stronger.
That's something farmer Kent Winter argued for vehemently Friday. There have been efforts by some liberals in Congress to trim crop insurance programs.
Only one year has Winter had to draw out more than he paid in, he said, but having that backdrop is absolutely crucial. Farmers have huge expenses, and a drought or hailstorm would otherwise end the business.
"I can't emphasis how important that program is," Winter said. "We are more than family-owned businesses out there. We are making food. A lot of the folks raised on the pavement take the food supply for granted."

Whenever I have time and feel energetic, I would go downstairs and swim at the swimming pool in my building. However, I would always choose the time carefully to avoid having to swim in a crowded pool or with a lot of children (children swim sideways, so it's annoying to be in a pool that has children). For instance, I would never go down at 1:00 PM during weekends because at that time there are usually many families down there.
So a few days ago, I went down to the swimming pool at 10:30, a time at which most children would be at sleep. Indeed, there was no child at the pool that night . However, as soon as I got out of the change room, I heard a woman greeting me, and upon squinting my eyes— I had to because I was near-sighted—I realized that she was the pastor's wife!
As I greeted her, she told me that her mother was also there, at the hot tub which was at some distance from the doors of the change rooms. Anyway, we entered a casual conversation, and naturally we started to talk about the kinds of strokes that we were able to swim. I said that I could swim free-style, and that I kind of self-learned breaststroke by just imitating the animated GIF found on Wikipedia.
Hearing this, she told me that her mother was on the swim team when she was in high school, and that she might be able to teach me better breast stroke techniques. She then called for her mother, who quickly came to where we were standing. We introduced ourselves and talked a little bit more, then the mother of the pastor's wife told me to swim a lap for her to see.
It was a very frightening moment for me, because I have always been very self-conscious, especially when I had to do physical activities with observers present. Still, there was no way that I could avoid the situation, and I knew doing so would be for my best interest too. So I just tried my best to swim as I normally would.
After I swam to the other end of the swimming pool and back, I heard what I dreaded the most— that I was swimming improperly. Of course, the pastor's mother-in-law said it in a very nice way, but it still hurt to know that all the time I had been swimming with extremely bad technique. Anyway, she then showed and explained to me the correct procedure of swimming breaststroke— arms reach, legs kick, arms back, and repeat. She also emphasized to me the importance of the feet coming together at the end of of the kick.
Of course, I didn't do very well during the first few times when I tried to apply what I learned to my technique. However, the pastor's mother-in-law still commended me for doing things right (at least I wasn't moving my arms and legs at the same time). Then she told me to keep practicing and went off to the hot tub.
As I swam more and more, I started to feel the improvements myself. I no longer had to do everything deliberately, and breathing was becoming a lot smoother. And soon after I felt as if I was finally swimming the stroke properly! That night I went back to the changing room pretty late— perhaps because I did save more energy with better technique.
Although I wouldn't want to meet the pastor's wife or her mother at the pool anymore— I would still feel awkward— I really am thankful to them for giving me a free swimming lesson. Also, this incident goes on to demonstrate the importance of being social— the benefits that one can gain from just interacting with others.

Little Baby Ingram's Baby Shower Concept
Deciding on our Baby Shower Theme was our second Baby Design Challenge my husband and I faced. Like everything else we most likely over did it; over thought; over planned; over designed but honestly that is just who we are.
A theme or concept for a baby shower helps to align all parts of the design of the shower. Whatever the theme is; twinkle twinkle little star or in our case "Lucky" it is critical to have all parts relate back to one direction. Everything we we ultimately design and selected was centered on this theme (more to come this month- with the entire recap!)
How to create your own Baby Shower Concept or Theme.
1. Look for inspiration.
Create a mood board that supports your theme or concept. What do you like about the inspiration pieces? What do you not like?
For our Baby Shower Theme it began with brain storming and visualization boards of things we liked. And since we do not know the gender of our baby the theme became even more important to help string all faucets together. We liked the idea of having a simplistic approach on all of the elements.
2. Select your venue.
Your venue weather it be a home, restaurant or banquet hall should tell a unique story. Our venue actually ended up being the thread that carried our theme together. We selected a modern Chinese restaurant in Detroit that had significant meaning to us. I love Chinese food it is one of my favorites, JR took me to the Peterbro for my 30th birthday, the address of the restaurant is 420 my birthday, the cross streets are Cass and Peterbro, and the artwork in the restaurant features a tiger which is my Chinese Birth animal. I mean talk about aligning the stars. Needless to say we decided on the venue and our concept became very clear; Lucky Baby Ingram
3. Generate your guest list.
We knew we wanted to keep it to around 50-60, but our invite number was over 70. We had ultimately three columns to help guess the actual number of attendees. Positive Yes, Maybe's and Out of Towner's. This helped us proximate how many people we would be hosting.
4. Decide on activities and overall event flow.
We knew we did not want your typical shower games but we did want things for our guests to do when they arrived. We decided on a guessing game, and a leave behind message for the baby. Once established we meet with the venue to dicuss the flow of guests and establish locations for gifts etc.
5. Design or find your Baby Shower Invites
Based on the concept of the Baby Shower, select invites that will hint to your guests what they will expect at your event. Try to select a visual item that could be carried through on your entrance sign and any other printed items that you might need at the event including signs for the gift table, etc. Our invites took on a natural feel that fell inline with our theme of lucky. Also being modernists we wanted bold font also to play within the design.
6. Establish your budget.
My husband designed and planned the event but it was funded mostly by the grandfather's of Little Baby Ingram. We had a rough idea of how much the venue was going to cost based on our guess of the guest list and budgeted for favors and other miscellaneous items that we needed. The grandmothers also helped budgetary by taking on the guessing game and giveaways, as well as the cost of the cake. We were able to do things on a budget by doing all of the work and design work ourselves as well as utilize items we had in the house.

Today I begin a journal based on my creative thinking whilst I am kayaking and attempting to create art. The journal's content is philosophical and technical, reflecting on my creative struggle in the moment in a constantly changing and moving environment.
In the first instance, I am trying to learn what the best camera is for the shots I want to take. I am not a camera technician. I have no real interest in the technical functionality of a camera. I am only interested in the content of the images as they appear to me whilst I am kayaking and what the best instruments are available to capture that content. I did some basic research on types of cameras after several years of struggle with an iPhone 5 only to discover the jpeg photo files on an iPhone are not big enough to blow up to 1 meter size proportions. Research revealed high end compact cameras, small enough to handle easily and quickly on a kayak offer good options. Reviews revealed Canon G7X and Sony RX100 Mark111 were best in class for my application and I acquired one of each. Now I am learning how I can get the best image with the limitations these tools have.
When you are taking shots of the water surface - several things to consider. How fast the tide and the kayak are travelling, how close can I get to the image I see with my eye and what will the camera do to get that image for me. There are three ways of looking at photography says professional photographer Anthony McKee. 1) Staged technically - camera, lens, lighting etc fully prepared and constructed for the shot. 2) A frame and shoot approach where the camera can be adjusted manually. But the scene itself is fixed and constant. 3) Serendipity - point, shoot and see what comes out. This is my mode.
So what do I need for serendipity to occur.
This is what I am exploring this month in the journal.

Omerta actor Rajkummar Rao, who is garnering praises for the recently released trailer of his film, cleared the airs about him walking out of a Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer film. He clarified that he has never been approached for any such film. Sushant Singh Rajput and Rajkummar Rao shared the screen space in the former's debut film Kai Po Che. Talking about his co-star, Rao said, "Kai Po Che is a really special film for all of us, and I keep getting messages on social media handles that we all should collaborate again. I'm sure that both Sushant and I will collaborate on something exciting very soon," he said.
Rumours had it that the 'Newton' actor refused a film helmed by Nitesh Tiwari as he was not ready to play the second lead, while SSR was on the main lead role. Both the actors, who worked together in 'Kai Po Che', marking a major milestone in their respective careers, have been friends ever since.
Talking about Nitesh Tiwari, Rajkummar said, "As a fan, I can't wait to watch his films and I am sure this one will be wonderful as well. I can't wait to collaborate with him on something soon."
On the work front, Sushant Singh Rajput will be appearing in Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath, which was supposed to be Sara Ali Khan's debut film. He has also been signed up for the Faults In Our Stars Hindi remake, in which he'll be romancing newbie actress Sanjana Sanghi.
Rajkummar Rao on the other hand, will be seen in Hansal Mehta's Omerta. Omerta is based on the life of infamous Omar Saeed Shaikh. He will also feature in Ekta Kapoor's Mental Hai Kya, in which he'll be romancing his Queen co-star Kangana Ranaut once again.

As debate rages at the national level over a proposed anti-Islamophobia motion, the Ontario legislature has passed its own motion condemning "all forms of Islamophobia" and rebuking "the notable growing tide of anti-Muslim rhetoric and sentiments" in the Canadian province.
Riding the wave of pro-Muslim sentiment following the attack on a Quebec mosque in late January, the Ontario legislature passed the motion unanimously, by a vote of 81-0.
While undoubtedly motivated by good will, the unfortunately worded motion raises a series of concerns that are currently roiling discussions taking place in the Canadian Parliament over a similar measure.
In an open letter to Ontario's MPPs on Feb. 23, the leader of Ontario's Freedom Party, Paul McKeever, praised the "laudable sentiments" behind the measure while also pointing out a number of glaring flaws.
The letter notes that the motion brought forward by Liberal MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers condemns "all forms of Islamophobia" while never defining the term. Although properly speaking a phobia is an irrational fear of something completely disproportionate to its real danger, failure to define the word opens the door to its abuse, whether willful or unintentional.
The term Islamophobia "probably will be used by Des Rosiers and her ilk to refer to any form of fear, dislike, or condemnation of Islam or those who practice it to one extent or another; or to anything that might cause people to fear or dislike Islam or its adherents," McKeever contends. Such abuse already regularly occurs with the term "homophobia," used as a weapon to silence opponents of gay marriage or Christians who adhere to biblical morality.
A second problem with the motion, the Freedom Party notes, is its conflation of religion and race, by alleging that those who raise issues against Islam are guilty of racism. "In truth," the letter states, "Islam is a religion practiced, around the globe, by people of all genetic make-ups, and all phenotypical appearances: every skin shade from dark to light, every facial shape, every eye colour, every hair colour, et cetera."
McKeever's letter also raises the pertinent question of freedom of speech, and more generally freedom of thought.
The real danger exists, the letter argues, that the motion, if passed, "will tend to silence all MPPs who might believe that some aspect of Islam is in need of condemnation; who might in any way state or imply that Islamic dogma is anti-democratic or anti-freedom; who might in any way suggest that Islamic radicals exist; who might in any way remind legislators that there exist Islamic radicals—even in Ontario—who are prepared to take political or violent steps to replace Man-made law with Sharia."
Along with these substantive arguments, McKeever's letter also highlights the motion's tendentious rhetoric regarding "diversity" as well as "hatred."
McKeever decries "the praise of a deliberately ambiguous 'diversity'" as a platitude, since it suggests that all forms of diversity are equally beneficial. Wrong notes, after all, add diversity to an orchestra's rendition of a Bach sonata, yet add nothing to its beauty. Thieves add diversity to a community of honest citizens, but do nothing to make that community a better place to live.
In a similar way, McKeever takes issue with the motion's careless condemnation of "all forms of hatred… and intolerance" by noting the serious problems underlying this language.
"Hatred is sometimes appropriate," McKeever declares, such as "hatred of murderers, liars, and thieves." One wonders whether Des Rosiers "would deny hating, say, Adolf Hitler, or those who flew planes into the New York trade towers," he says. Regarding intolerance, he questions how the motion could condemn all forms of intolerance, while simultaneously calling for the "intolerance of what she ambiguously names 'Islamophobia.'"
The full text of the Ontario motion follows:
That, in the opinion of this House, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario should reaffirm that diversity has always played an important part in Ontario's culture and heritage; recognize the significant contributions Muslims have made, and continue to make, to Ontario's cultural and social fabric and prosperity; stand against all forms of hatred, hostility, prejudice, racism and intolerance; rebuke the notable growing tide of anti-Muslim rhetoric and sentiments; denounce hate-attacks, threats of violence and hate crimes against people of the Muslim faith; condemn all forms of Islamophobia and reaffirm its support for government's efforts, through the Anti-Racism Directorate, to address and prevent systemic racism across government policy, programs and services, and increase anti-racism education and awareness, including Islamophobia, in all parts of the province.

Greece-ification: Is California the Next Greece?
You've heard it already and you'll hear it again: California is the next Greece. Everyone loves the catchiness and simplicity of the analogy, but is there a real connection? A simple Google search yields countless articles with "California is the next Greece…" in the title. There are just too many such articles to pick one to dissect and link to. Why is this an important question? The answer lies in the consequences and remedies of a potential policy response.
When one asserts that two ailments are the same, those two ailments should be treated with the same remedy. Shaping the discourse around California's troubles being the same as those in Greece allows for problem solvers to view potential solutions under a very narrow and confined lens. Rather than discuss the particular assertions of any one article, I went about my own analysis in search of whether Greece and California (and to some extent New York and Illinois) are really all that analogous.
In conducting this analysis, I wanted to know if there really is some sort of common theme or thread between the two–California and Greece–other than a solvency crisis and sure enough, the more I looked, the more I learned, the more it became clear that the two are very different situations altogether, requiring rather different remedies. Let's take a closer look to prepare for what will certainly be the next hot-button topic in this ongoing economic crisis saga.
The Similarities:
Both California and Greece are facing significant short-falls in their 2010 budgets and both need to figure out a way to close that gap in the future. California's right now sits at about $26.3 billion, while Greece is at a $17 billion following their recent austerity measures. California and Greece both also have short term debt that will require rolling over into longer-term maturities. This leaves them vulnerable to credit market risk tolerance.
To an extent, California and Greece are both federations within a larger monetary union. California is part of the United States and the US Federal Reserve System, while Greece is part of the European Union and the Economic Central Bank zone. Neither locality controls their own monetary policy, and neither has the power to print their way out of their respective debt crises. As a result, they both are subject to the monetary policy actions and decisions of their respective monetary federations/unions.
The Differences:
There are several crucial distinctions between California and Greece in the economic sphere that are critical to any analysis.
Economic Might:
Greece has a GDP of $356 billion, while the Eurozone on the whole has a $13.6 trillion GDP. Contrast that to California, which has a Gross State Product (GSP) of about $1.85 trillion, in a US economy with a $14.1 trillion GDP and it's hard to equate the significance of Greece to California. On the whole, California accounts for 13.1% of all productivity in the United States, while Greece accounts for a mere 2.6% of the Eurozone economy.
Whether looking at the gross numbers or the relative numbers, it is clear that California's economic might dwarfs that of Greece. California is a much larger economy and counts for a significantly larger share of its federation's (the US) economy than does Greece. In this context, size does matter. Greece is largely inconsequential to the Eurozone in terms of its GDP output. They do matter in terms of the sovereign contagion risk, but a significant deflation in Greece will have little impact on the Eurozone GDP. Pain in California, on the other hand, would have a major negative effect on the United States economy on the whole at a time when the US could least afford it.
Political Structure:
While Greece is a sovereign, California is a region within a larger sovereignty. As a result, Californians must pay federal taxes to the US government, while Greek citizens pay no such equivalent tax. Additionally, the US government spends money in California, while no such body does the same for Greece. Greece as a country spent well past their means. One can assert that in light of the fact that California's budget faces a shortfall, so too did California, but we need to look at one additional element to assess just how true this really is.
Between 1981 and 2005, Californians paid a total of approximately $4.08 trillion in federal taxes. Meanwhile, the federal government spent a total of roughly $3.59 trillion in and on the state of California. Altogether, Californians contributed a net total of $495 billion to the federal system. While Californians paid more than they received from the federal government, other states received far more than they spent (all data on the tax flow to individual states comes from the Tax Foundation's Federal Taxes Paid vs. Federal Spending Received by State report from 2007).
This problem is not unique to California. Two other big states (in terms of population and economy), New York and Illinois also had net federal outflows of over $400 billion. Combined, California, Illinois and New York were net contributors to the federal system in the amount of $1.31 trillion between 1981 and 2005. While these states were net contributors, many states were net recipients. Between 1981 and 2005, the US federal government accrued a $3.88 trillion federal deficit. Were it not for the contributions of these Big Three States, the budget short fall would have been 33% greater.
While California has had huge outflows of funds to the federal system, Greece has had no similar economic drain.
What to do with California (and also New York and Illinois):
Yes California and Greece have superficial similarities, but in no way is "California the next Greece" other than in terms of the likelihood for a default without some form of bailout or aid. The differences are so strikingly huge, that the powers that be should take note and attempt to anticipate a California default rather than react to one should eventually happen. One thing we learned when it comes to Greece is that the longer one waits for a solution, the more contagious the risks become and the more expensive the solution.
Without a healthy California, it is nearly impossible for a healthy US economy. Additionally, should California's economic troubles persist, this would bode increasingly more difficult for net recipient states (those states who pay in less to the federal system than they receive) to continue on their present paths. Pain in the big states in the US equates to pain in the entirety of the US.
Not only are the consequences far larger when it comes to California, so too is the economic and moral obligation greater. It is in the interest of just about every party involved for the federal government to use its cheaper cost of capital in aiding the troubling state governments in California, New York and Illinois in realigning their respective state budgets and cleaning the slate for a solid foundation for the future. Without helping these Big Three States, the US federal budget would look increasingly more troubling. Sometimes you have to spend a little to save a lot.

QCF: Submerged
f there's one thing that any action video game needs, it's a sense of stimulus, something that engages a reaction, and response to whatever's happening on screen, and more often than not, the very first go to for the violent route—good old fashioned combat.
So imagine if you will, a title that endorses action and peril, but no combat, or violence of any kind to threaten you? It's a game that completely relies on the agency of exploration and world building in a story that's centers around the human condition during a time of tragedy, and hopelessness.
This is Submerged from Uppercut Games, an apocalyptic setting with veiled premise that attributes global warming to be the culprit behind the tragic setting, where a woman and her injured little one find what little refuge they can within a dilapidated building that's floating alongside the remains of buildings for miles, upon miles in view.

c. Elektro and Net-IT
ElNet is a collaboration of the two study programmes Electrical Engineering and Network technology & IT. We were constituted as one council in fall 2016 for the first time but we have been playing and having meetings together for longer than anyone can remember and we were called ElKo (because Net/IT in 2014 was called Communication Engineering). We are a part of the institutes Electrical Engineering and Photonics Engineering.
Here's a bit more about what we are doing. Normally we have a meeting once per month before each common council meeting so that we can discuss our opinions for the agenda of PF. Furthermore the approximately 25 active members talk about how we can make it more attractive to study one for the two study programmes. We host a lot of events both socially and academically, an example is our HHH (Gentle Nice Cabin trip (it sounds better in Danish)) it's a social event with a lot of traditions, that takes place around pi-day. Of academic events we do schema dating where older students talk about what courses they took why they took it and give inspiration.
ElNet have a matter that is very close to our heart called solvognen (The Sunwagen) which is an abstract idea of a moving bar. It is a regular point to every meeting and has been for many years. If you want to know more find an ElNet'er yout vector or come to one of our meetings then we will gladly tell you.
If it sound interesting everyone is welcome to join one of our meetings, and have a lot of fun.

text: Message from the President With three Fs: Fair play, Friendship, and Fighting spirit, Mizuno will operate sustainability-oriented business honestly and responsibly, to contribute to sustainable growth. Under our corporate philosophy of "contributing to society through the advancement of sporting goods and the promotion of sports," Mizuno has been providing quality sporting goods and promoting sports for over a hundred years, aiming to deliver the joy and happiness sports can bring to people. Sports not only maintain and improve our physical strength and ability, it has the power to make us feel positive, promote communication between people and bring out potential capacity of individuals and groups, helping us respect differences. In a world that is changing at an unprecedented speed, I strongly feel that such power of sports is in greater need than ever to create a rich and sustainable society where people can be themselves. Developing and offering unique sports programs, Mizuno has been working to improve children's physical ability and extend the healthy life span of senior citizens. Going forward we will continue our endeavor to resolve social issues and contribute to sustainable growth, leveraging sports' potential to the maximum degree. The basis of all of Mizuno's activities including contributions through sports is fair play, which is to adhere to the rules. This includes respecting the law and the international code of behavior and behaving accordingly. Needless to say, companies cannot exist without trust from society. When we take a broader view instead of looking at short-sighted short-term profits, fair play is the most logical behavior for a company. This view is consistent with Mizuno's core motto put forth by founder Rihachi Mizuno, who said "Rieki no Ri yori Dori no Ri," which suggests that it is vital to make profits without breaching moral principles. I believe responsible corporate behavior that complies with international rules includes identifying first and foremost CSR and sustainability issues (materiality), bearing in mind society's expectations and concerns, and the impact that our business brings upon the environment and society. It also includes carrying out specific actions on a global level and reporting what we have and have not succeeded in, in a transparent manner. In 2016 we identified our materiality, after which we worked on the issues we saw as being the most significant, including improving our suppliers' response to their environmental and social impact, improving children's physical strength and ability, extending the healthy life span of senior citizens and diversity. Also, based on the understanding that our employees' health is the basis of our management, we are making special efforts toward promoting our employees' health as part of our healthy management. In doing so, we are not just pursuing numbers, but are focusing on creating fundamental values and nurturing trust. Please read our report, which describes our engagements in detail, including the issues we have defined as being most significant. Society's expectations and concerns change over time. Listening to feedback from our stakeholders, we will operate sustainability-oriented business honestly and responsibly and continue to build on the power of sports toward achieving sustainable growth globally.

How to put in writing true marketing content material?
To write successful advertisement content material is to capture the eye of the consumer at the beginning sight as they flicker even though the brochures and fliers like they turn through a mag and not how they'll study books with attention. It want now not be essential that the patron reads each and every line of the advertisement; therefore, each line ought to be effective and ought to bypass out a message. So it's no longer handiest important to jot down logical matter, however it need to also be creative sufficient.
Firstly, best applicable and particular be counted ought to be written within the ad. Some content material writers fear lacking out data and write as lots as they can. This will most effective disinterest the customers more and area will be wasted. The writing style must be related to the type of flier or brochure this is to be written. Its ordinary for the reader to study skipping strains in among and there is a possibility that they may examine it from bottom to pinnacle. It usually allows to apply words that promote. But nevertheless, the content material need to be properly organized with the heading at the top, body in the middle and end on the cease. The major factors may be written as sub-headings, in bold font. The frame following the sub-heading should talk the sub-heading and if it is associated with any other sub-heading, even those factors should be mentioned. If the product is to be mentioned from the technical point, it should now not be so technical that it appears like a foreign language to a commonplace man.

Chucking is any other method that may be used. Chucking is writing small tales with end on the end. They can both have or not have connection between themselves. Its better in the event that they aren't connected, as it gained't require the reader to move returned to a preceding chunk on the way to understand the present chew he's reading. This works quite nicely while there are pictures within the advertisement and the bite illustrates the photograph. The two-dimensional picture is speechless except a few well-selected words talks about it and motivates the customers. Obviously, whilst chucking, sub-headings may be used to let loose critical data. Another point to be taken into consideration is the product or organisation about which the content material is based totally on. Suppose if the brochure is related to a company, the style of writing ought to be formal.
Spelling errors ought to be averted to the most volume. They replicate terrible excellent and bring horrific recognition to the client. The layout need to speak truely and loudly approximately the organisation being discussed. Unclear, cluttered and illogical records creates an illusion that the agency additionally has the same traits. Catalogues are the most effective source of commercial for some businesses, due to low investments. Such sort of commercial enterprise catalogues won't require much writing, simply product description will do. Instead it is easy to work at the font sizes, colors, etc.
The subsequent step ought to be writing statistics about contacts so as to shop for the product; distinct paperwork are massive turn-off. Contact records, postal deal with and website URL ought to be definitely exact. Also consist of whether the enterprise accepts cash, take a look at or credit score card. Another element to be sorted is the contact facts, that's generally written at the forms, which should be mailed. It is higher to write them at the advertisement also in order that the customers can keep it for future reference.

After the very last content material is written, it's the time for organizing it. Depending on the demand of the products, arrange them in hierarchy, specially while designing a catalogue because each of the products have to get the consideration and attention they deserve.
It is a good dependancy to write down tactics, that have been implemented to each kind of advertisements written. And also keep the information like what clients were focused with what kind of commercials, to use to the same sort of common sense the following time to comparable clients. This facilitates to create a blueprint for a future process.

I hope it's okay that I post here, and that I don't come across as insensitive or something, but I just had to respond.
What was your understanding before you got married? Were you both agreed to have children or to not have them? If you agreed not to, is it fair to change the rules now? If you agreed to, then your DH must be afraid of something. Can you get at the root of his fear and try to come up with answers? For example if he is concerned about money, you can come up with a budget together, etc.
Second, if your DH really does not want a child, is it fair to bring a child into this? The child will be set up for a lifetime of pain and rejection by his/her father. Is that really fair? Perhaps you will need to put your maternal energies somewhere else. Is he open to foster care? Can you become a mentor for a child, tutor, volunteer at a children's hospital?
I hope I don't come across the wrong way. I am just concerned for any child brought into this type of situation.
Best wishes.
