Henry here, signing in for a FFF test interview. The interview is on Mater Ratava's amazing fanon, Avatar:The First Skybender Main Story 1. Henry:The world ATFS is set in, centuries after Avatar Aang's death, is quite different from what we are used to. How could you describe this new setting to us? Master Ratava: The world of ATFS is a full Avatar Circle after Aang. So, it is to have already been born an Air Nomad Avatar. However, due to miscegenation, or (read it as if Bryke is going to have the brilliant idea of Avatars managing to parenting benders from a different ethnic origin than theirs and their mates) another Air Nomad Genocide. Summarizing: there is no Air Nomad that is capable of airbending alive. And as so the world believes in it. Atop of that a lost civilization that lives high up above the clouds, onto an archiurano (floating land archipelago), called themselves as the Sky Parliament, returns to claim their rightful place as rules of the living. Since they are the one kind of the original human benders. Descendants directly from one of the eight very first humans who learnt from the sacred animals (some of them even learned from spirits.) 2. H:Since ATFS is one of the most original ideas I have ever seen on the wiki, I'd love to hear about where you inspiration came from. Why don't you share with us that story? MR: I was wanting to register on a forum about Avatar in 2009, and then I created my username (Master Ratava), at that time I didn't imagine that I was going to get again into a fan fiction writing history. Then I met someone who was writing, and she was a very good drawer too. That made me want to write something. From the Ba Gua/Feng Shui, the trigram that I like the most is the Sky one, the three lines unbroken. Pure Yang energy. I just thought, and well, if bending isn't about genetics, if there will be not even one airbender to be born on the next circle, then there will be no Avatar anymore. Then I thought, if Avatars could have kids who could've bend other elements rather then it's parents original ones, and my head went on aching... I'm not a geneticist, not even a biology student... So, it was it. Something divine should have to intervene, or at least was that what I thought at that time... Poor me, lacking researching... 3. H:3. What is your fanon really about? It is hard to grasp the real plot from the three chapters you have with all different POVs. MR: My fanon is about becoming a Person. Not the kind of human being that you see every day, I don't want to write and leave nothing for my readers to think about after. I am not the preacher kind of guy, nor the holy divine spirit religious one, I also do not share much of my beliefs with many people, I'm kind of a loner. And I write for people to not fall on the same wrong footsteps I've made. Every line I wrote since the first one (and that isn't on ATFS) is a catharsis. I barely cannot avoid putting myself, and my life story into shattered pieces along the text. ATFS is about a new beginning. Discoveries, mysteries from the past being revealed, Intrigues, treason, trust, love, truth, loyalty, power, greed, pride. 4. H: How many chapters do you plan to have in your entire fanon series, not just per book? MR: If I plan at minimum, 8 books, and if each book shall have at least 20 chapters, then... 160? That's scary. That's reeeally scary! I may die first. 5. H: It seems as if you have many of the chapter names down. How much of the series have you already planned out? MR: I have already planned the entire series. But only the basics. From the beginning till the end. I know who is the Avatar, and if the readers discover it first then it appears, I have already a second and a third choices... xD So, the Avatar mystery is one of the most important. I like to keep this one character as a secret weapon. Chapter/Book 6. H: I noticed that chapter number two, Flying Cloud Odin, was published in March. When do you plan to have chapter three, Charm, come out? MR: I was planning to write more pages to complete the Charm chapter, and keep the recipe of "one narrator per chapter not skipping", but I shall not do this, I may divide what I already have written into two chapters, and publish the first one, and maybe the name shall be altered. I don't know. It's a big interrogation mark here. I would want to manage complete writing Charm for the 4th Fanon Awards. But I know myself, and I don't trust my instincts, maybe I cannot be able to get it done by the date. 7. H: Of your three beautifully written chapters, which do you think reflects most on your writing skills? MR: I think that the prologue is the most fluid written, however the first chapter is the most cartoonish one, which is something that I do appreciate a lot. On the other hand the second chapter was my challenge to make an informational chapter. But none of them beats what's Charm has been being to me about my writing skills. The unaired third chapter is my nemesis of trying to make a well-balanced chapter. 8. H: And, again, of your three chapters that have been released, which one is your favorite? MR: Of the released chapters, I don't have a full favorite one. I have favorite parts in each one of them. Like the packing part of the prologue. The betrothal necklace part in the first chapter. And, the finale of the second chapter. Sorry, but I still haven't decided which one is my favorite part of Charm yet. 9. H: How many books do you plan to have make up the series? MR: At minimum 8, like the 8 trigrams of the Ba Gua/Feng Shui. Characters 10. H: So, you have several characters already seen in the story. Out of the three narrators, which is your favorite? Who do you think reflects your personality the most(putting the fact that two of them are girls aside, of course :))? MR: I'm a guy, and I don't see any problem of narrating a story through a woman/girl perspective. I've been raised by 7 women, and my family is the most matriarchal as it can be... Poor me. From the already three narrators (already named but "nameless" girl from the prologue; Koori from the first chapter; and Odin's nameless sister) my favorite is Koori. He is an important one. But the narrator I cannot wait to try out is Ame, Koori's cousin.. 11. H: Where did you draw your inspiration for your characters, especially the ill girl, Koori Kumo, and Odin's sister? MR: The ill girl from the prologue is a lot like myself in the beginning of this year. Except the part of fashion and having many friends wherever she had already been. Koori was meant to be a crossover between Aang and Sokka. A sharp-minded guy with an extreme sense of honour and regret. Odin's sister was a surprise. Actually she emerged out of nowhere. Her character was to be someone else. Then I realised that I was writing another character, and I couldn't erase everything that I've already written. And so, the until now nameless, Odin's sister was born. 12. H: Ame Suiki, Koori's best friend, has been offered to the moon spirit. Why did you decide to have a character with that quality? MR: It wasn't Ame who was offered to the Moon Spirit. It was Koori. Ame has dark-brown hair, just like Katara's. Koori has white hair for stylish meanings, at first. then, when I decided this book's last four chapters names I've seen another purposed for his white hair. The Sky Parliament 13. H: That fifth nation, floating high on the clouds of the Southwest Storm, is rather difficult to grasp? How would you describe the Sky Parliament to you readers and fans? MR: The Sky Parliament is one of the governments that are set on one of the archiuranos, floating randomly above where eyes cannot see. Even on the same archiurano as the Sky Parliament, there are other government. The Sky Parliament is a Fallen Kingdom. Summarizing the whole concept idea. 14. H: What are the differences between those living in the Bell Jar Palace and outside of the safe, glass dome? MR: The ones from the Bell Jar Palace are from royal lineage. They are pure. (Or so they believe they are) The others, from the surrounding islands, are not-pure, however, they are purer than people from the four nations (five if URN is counted). Differences in their phenotype are barely seen. All are blond people, how much dark hair, less pure. But all are caucasian. 15. H: The question all your readers are begging to find out. . . .what is skybending? MR: Skybending is one of the eight original bending arts. The bendings known as water, earth, fire, and air bending in ATLA and LoK aren't the original Water, Earth, Fire, and Air bending. They are already a mixture. Airbending from ATLA/LoK is the mix of the original Airbending and Skybending itself. The bending in ATFS are to be seen as mutations. I'm working on a genetic theory about them. Not only to explain Skybending, but also all the others. And they don't stop at only five kinds of bendings. Locations 16. H: What are the present-day nations like today? MR: The three remained original nations from ATLA are quite different from the Canon Show, in LoK we already see a glimpse of development. Jumping in time, in ATFS the development is not only forward, there are regions that had been left lost in time, and others that almost turned back as they might've been even before ATLA. All depends on the rulers and their way to direct power. But the government structures of the three main nations are the same as seen in ATLA. But that is about to change during ATFS. Because the story is not only about the return of the Ancient People. 17. H: Could you share with us your most exciting new location in ATFS? MR: I plan on taking a very important role to a place that will be called The Cherryblossom Field. 18. H: If you were a character in ATFS, where would you live? And would you bend that element, or not? MR: Actually there will be an alter-ego character. Rather than the part where I said that every character has something of myself or someone important to me attached to them. I'm very inclinated in naming him Ratava, and of course, he shall be one of the enemies. As all this isn't decided yet, I am not sure if what I'm going to write here will become true, but, I'm a fire nation fan, so: fire. About The Author 19. H: Master Ratava, you are a brilliant writer, but how long has your love of literature been a part of you? MR: Thanks for the brilliant, xD... I don't love literature in general. I love certain kinds of books, it depends of their editions, covers, editors, etc. etc. I read by pleasure since Harry Potter burst into my life back in december 20th, 2000. Then J.K. left the fantasy door opened for Tolkien, Pullman, Hoffman, and so many others. 20. H: How long ago did you become interested in ATLA? MR: An affair of mine burned the three season in english without subtitles for me back in January 2009. So, love brought me ATLA. 21. H: When did you decide to write fan fiction? MR: In 2009 also, I don't recall the right date... But it was just the rough idea, that I left untouched until the beginning of this year. 22. H: Is ATFS your first Avatar fanon? When did you start to write it and why? MR: Yes, and I think it'll be my only one. The idea emerged in 2009, then I brought it back to life at this year's January. 23. H: What is your favorite piece of literature? It could be a poem, or a book, or a series, or a play. It doesn't matter which. MR: Novels. Basically series. I don't fall for novels that end in just one book. I'm a Harry Potter fan. But naming J.K.'s HP my first choice is unfair to Tolkien's Hobbit, and even more to my estimated Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. The Amber Spyglass (the third book of Pullman's HDM) was the first book that left me out crying in the middle of the night. Not even Tolkien's Two Towers has made me cry, so. Sorry J.K., Dumbledore's most excited adventure wiped less tears from me than His Dark Materials finale. H: Well, that's it. I hope you all enjoyed the interview. Come back next time! MR: I enjoyed veeery much, it was a stupendous interview, extremely clever questions. You left me wanting to be asked more. =D My Response 1. H: Sounds so much different from LoK! 3. H: Becoming a person is a very good morale and life lesson. Not many people can become a person after they have already been their own self. 4. H: Well I sure hope you don't die first! If you die first, than I won't be able to read those 160 chapters =p! 7. H: If you say Charm is going to be your best chapter yet, I can't wait! 12. H: I thought it said that Ame was offered to the moon spirit. . . I better go reread that chapter! 13. H: There are more governments near the Sky Parliament!? 15. H: Eight elements! Well, that just makes me thirst even more for the next chapter! 17. H: Cherryblossom Field. The very name just makes it sound like a recipe for bloodshed. (licks lips. . . jk :p) 22. H: You're going to do that to us? Only allow us one taste of your fanons? 23. H: Greetings, fellow Harry Potter fan. Speaking of crying at the end of a series, I sobbed at the end of the Inheritance Cycle. . . great book, great book. H: Phew, I hope I nailed that! It was a lot of fun and I hope that I will be able to do it again!

Homegrown interactive computer games have been shown to successfully treat children with behavioural problems. Children who had been abused regained their confidence and became less aggressive.
Horace Ip Ho-shing, chair professor of the Department of Computer Science at City University, said it started to develop the three-dimensional, motion-tracking video games in 2005 with funding of HK$1 million from the Innovation and Technology Fund.
From 2006 to last year, nine children aged six to 12 recovering from abuse underwent 10 hours of therapy at the university's AIMtech Centre with help from the Hong Kong Association of Art Therapists.
Professor Ip said the participants who played all 10 games and completed the therapy became more confident and less aggressive.
'They have shown improvement in their psychological well-being and have better relationships with their family,' he said.
Participants stand in front of a large screen in a dark room equipped with a system to capture and translate their movements. They wear a pair of stereoscopic glasses to view three-dimensional virtual objects on the screen, which they can manipulate and interact with.
Therapists guide the participants and give them counselling during the games. They can also learn more about the children's fears and psychological problems when observing how they play.
For example, Professor Ip said, when they played the Ribbon Dancing game, they would be asked to dance with ribbons of the colour they liked.
'They can learn to be gentler when playing with ribbons ... And if they choose blue or green ribbons, it shows that they are probably quite calm. But if they pick red or black ribbons, they may have fears or may be unhappy,' he said.
The university and the association also launched a pilot study last November, and two mentally disabled children were now receiving the therapy at the centre's laboratory.
The study will be completed next month, when its effectiveness on mentally disabled children will be assessed.
Four of the games - Magic Bouncing Balls, Ribbon Dancing, Little Brick Out and Paint Splash - will be exhibited at the Science Museum until 2011.

Our Family Promise Ministry Team coordinates our efforts to address the needs of homeless families as part of the Family Promise Metrowest (FPM) network.
We periodically shelter homeless families in upstairs classrooms for one week at a time. The classrooms are converted into bedrooms for our guests, usually with the help of children and youth who strive to make them as welcoming as possible. Volunteers help with set up and break down of our "bedrooms," shopping for breakfast foods and sundries, making and serving dinner or dessert, and providing on-site overnight coverage. While congregations like ours provide facilities and volunteers to house families, the FPM staff operates a day center which is "home base" for the families and provides supportive case management services to help parents reach their goal of obtaining permanent housing. FPM directs some of its resources to providing transitional housing, enabling parents to move their children into an apartment and complete longer-term educational and job readiness programs so that they can achieve financial stability. Our Metrowest network is one of over 190 that operate nation-wide.
As the result of our hosting experience, volunteers are able to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges confronting homeless families. Hosting weeks for the current church year will begin on 10/9/16, 2/26/17 and 5/7/17. If you have questions about volunteering, please contact our UU Wellesley FPM Coordinators HERE.
Family Promise Volunteer Training at UU Wellesley!
The bi-monthly Family Promise volunteer training will be held at UU Wellesley on Thursday, April 20 at 7:00 in the chapel. If you have volunteered when we have hosted the families or would like to volunteer, please consider attending the training. It's only 90 minutes, and most of it is videos. It's quite interesting and helpful, and you get a chance to ask any questions you may have. And it couldn't be more convenient than having it at our church! Please take advantage of this opportunity if you have never attended the training or would like a refresher. Please contact the church office HERE with any questions.

Valentine's Day gifts reportedly sold out a Harare woman who was cheating with three close friends. Linda Chigombo of Glen View is said to have been dating the trio of Clayton Muchidza, Elives Muzhandu and Easy Takudzwa Masawi despite them being close friends.
The illicit affair came to light when Clayton failed to buy Linda a present on Valentine's Dayafter the duo of Takudzwa and Elives had sent theirs.
The self-confessed love cheat confirmed the illicit affairs saying she had now settled for Takudzwa. The three friends, says Linda, are now aware that they have been dating the same woman with Elives threatening Linda by sending scary photographs, which prompted Linda's mother Rosemary Lise to intervene.
"Kana munhu arambwa ngaabvume kurambwa, Elives threatened my daughter by sending messages and later started to send scary photographs prompting me to phone him over the matter," said Rosemary.
"He apologised for threatening Linda and sending such photographs but he is not giving up and I am considering taking legal action," she added.
In another interview, Elives denied ever sending messages threatening Linda for dating Takudzwa.
"Clayton is my best friend but I have failed to buy a Valentine's gift for Linda and she informed me about it saying she had been mocked by her friends," said Elives.
"I bought her the Valentine's gift since Clayton was not around and we ended up falling in love and I composed a song over the matter.
"Truly speaking I was tempted to fall in love with her and we became lovers until Takudzwa snatched her from me after I was transferred to Mutare where I am living right now.
"Chibhebhi ndichirikuchi lover but Takudzwa adzika midzi and our friendship has turned sour following my separation with Linda." We used to call each other with nicknames, Takudzwa as 'E man' and he would call me 'Elo' while Clayton 'C Ryle' and Linda 'Lulu', said Elives.
Clayton said he had no problem with his friends dating Linda but accused her of being a woman of loose morals.
"She bitched me and I have no grudge with my friends since Linda is of loose morals and I have nothing to do with her as we speak, anoda mukomana aripo nguva iyoyo," said Clayton.
Takudzwa could not entertain H-Metro and his mobile went unanswered, presumably after learning from Linda that H-Metro wanted his comment.
Linda confirmed dating the three friends saying Elives wears earings and dresses like a girl.
"I could not date someone who looks like a girl, who wears ear rings zvakare anorukwa musoro handingaunzire mai vangu mukwasha akadaro," said Linda.
"I knew that he was Takudzwa's best friend but as a girl I have to choose the better man to marry me and Takudzwa is the lucky guy.
"Elives is still threatening me forgetting that he snatched me from his other friend Clayton.
Nhasi zvava kumurwadza, ndezvekake izvo, arambwa anhuhwa," said Linda requesting H-Metro to contact Takudzwa about the issue.

You need to go to options and select resume bot manager.
So if I'm running a custom bot I downloaded or made myself, it works fine until at one point it inevitably disconnects. When the bot auto re-logins for me though, it runs a built-in bot (the one I last used) instead of the custom bot I was just using before being disconnected. The point is, when I'm leaving a bot overnight, I want it to re-login and run the same bot each time after disconnecting, instead of reverting to an old built-in bot.
(Hope I was clear on that)

What they're saying
"You really are a miracle worker! We appreciate your intervention very much." — Sarah Stevens-Rayburn, Baltimore
"Thank you so much. You are the man!" — Ryan Duffy, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
Be heard now
I'm privileged to work with the best team of volunteer advocates in the world on our help forums.
The forums offer consumers virtual face time with subject matter experts. But they do more than advise you – they'll also research your problem and help you find a solution.
Oh, and it's a safe, snark-free environment. We're here to help, not hate. Can you think of any other forum that does that?
I'd do anything for you
Why else would I get dressed up in this costume for a TV ad?
By the way, the suit is made out of neoprene, not Spandex. Just in case you were wondering.
I have a reputation for lighting-fast responses to consumer questions. I'm known to answer in my sleep, although not always coherently. Thank goodness for espresso.
I'm the guy you call when things go wrong, and I love what I do.

Jagacida (Jag) - Beans and Rice from Cape Verde
Recipe by justcallmetoni
Although I'm posting this for the 2005 World Tour, this is for me a dish from childhood. My Cape Verdean mother made this often and served it with tuna fish cakes. I loved mine smothered in catsup. This makes a huge batch and we often served it reheated with more onions, linguica and fried eggs for breakfast the next day. Traditionally, it is made with kidney or lima beans but I remember Nana (my grandmother) making it with peas to accommodate my bean-hating aunt. Enjoy!
Top Review by Virgaux78
My godmother is Cape Verdian, but we've lost touch over the years and the recipe has been in limbo. Thanks so much for posting it. Tastes as good as I remember.

My hair grows out straight, like Jesse McCartney's.
I'm growing it out right now.
Do I just keep growing it or is there a certain hair cut I have to get?
Here's an example:
Most Helpful Girl
his hair looks razor cut, but the main reason his hair looks like that is that it has some pretty dramatic highlights put in it. take that photograph to your stylist/barber and ask them what should be done to achieve that look. if you're gonna go all the way and get the highlights done, I suggest finding a real colorist to do that job because sometimes stylists who aren't really experienced with dyes and coloring will botch it pretty badly.00|00|0

S'up all, so Misky's busy with University work, and Wrath's doing... whatever it is Wrath does when not wiki'ing. So, you poor buggers get to deal with my review of the new episode.
Until N decides to do a review himself Without further ado, let's get on with it:
To start the episode off we get a bit of filler regarding Warrod's aptitude, and Yuri's ineptitude with tying knots and how Mavis doesn't know a damn thing about ships. When last episode she was constantly pestering Yuri to change the angle of the sails because of what she'd read about ships on Tenrou Island... Hooray for consistency ( ._.)
Opening credits, good shit, good shit. Then Mavis goes investigating every last damn thing the port area has to offer. Have to say though, I like the subtle hints about Zera's true nature. Without wishing to spoil it for anime only viewers, that's all I'll say on that matter, but it was cool how they kinda had Zera avoiding social interaction.
Just gonna glaze over the bit that followed straight after and get to my main criticism of this episode, and that is; all the filler with regards to Precht, and the so called "bar fight". Ever since the new studio has been making episodes, they've been putting needless filler in, and Precht's social awkwardness was just that; awkward. The thing with the tree was just baffling, and I suspect unless you understand interactions between plants and insects when one is rotting, it makes no sense until much later. By which point you're still trying to get your head around it and miss the bits in between it happening and the actual explanation. So in my view that was poorly done. All the unimportant characters that Precht, want for a better word, interviewed, were so horrendously animated. Honestly I suspect my best friend, who's doing a media degree that's geared up to music production, could have done a better job.
Eventually we get given a cock and bull explanation that leads to Precht and Mavis going to the dodgy bar in the arse end of town. Again, poorly animated/drawn characters doing not much except chatting shit. Precht doing the generic question asking and Mavis being the brains of the operation by noticing the bar owners slip of the tongue. Aaaaaaaand then we get to my second critique; the fight.
The main criticism that pretty much everyone used to have with the old animation studio was that the fights were full of still shots and not much in the way of actual movement of the characters. This is now becoming a common trend with the current animation studio though too. Not even that, we're supposed to be in awe of Precht's capability with his chain blade. I can't be in awe of something that's supposed to be fluid when it's totally rigid and as flexible as a cinder block.
Moving on, animation studio derps and shows the barman's Blue Skull tattoo before he's even meant to show it off. Great quality control there guys, well done, enviable even. And we also get the cliche bad guy is too dumb to do a quality control of his own, and wasn't it just pretty bloody convenient that the trap he'd set just happened to be where Precht and Mavis were stood at that point? Anyway, we may as well move to the thing I found great about this ep:
That one image. That's kinda underwhelming to be honest... Not the actual image itself, but the fact it was the only decent shot. Oh well, and go on and ridicule the horrendous abomination that was the Zeref look-a-like but I suspect everyone's had enough of me slagging off the episode. Anyway, feel free to leave a comment about the episode, be it generic, supporting or antagonising.

Men living together are friends. To pretend that they are heterosexual couples is silly and it mocks marriage between a man and a woman.
Sexual union can only be achieved by same sex couples by means of sexual perversion that adds substantial risk to the physical and mental health of the participants, and maybe to the population at large. To ignore such risks is a serious abrogation of responsibility of the political officials who are supposed to protect the health and safety of the public.
Homosexuality is no less a deviance/perversion than pedophilia, bestialty, compulsive cross-dressing, serial rape, you name it.
It just happens to be one whose "consensual acceptance" has been forced down our throats, so to speak. Worse still than its "acceptance" is its glorification by nihilistic politicians and celebrities, the media, the left in general—the usual suspects in other words.

Ive only made one purse cake and it turned out a little less than perfect....I have seen the purse cake tutorials and plan on using one for my next one but a friend wants a Juicy Couture purse cake for her daughters sweet 16. I'm guessing the ones I have seen use an edible image on the side for the Juicy Couture part. Any ideas?
Check out this juicy couture purse, it isn't an edible image. You could do it like a transfer with royal icing, you would probably have to do it piece by piece/letter by letter I would secure them to the fondant with more icing. Just an idea...
I have no clue why I didn't think of the royal icing transfer! Do you know how hard it is to get it to stick to the fondant? I think I'll practice that tomorrow! Thanks for the advice. That is an awesome cake.

Russo-Japanese War
...A pretty much stupid war.(Feb. 8, 1904 - Sept. 5, 1905) For the school presentation.
Welcome to the Russo-Japanese War!
I welcome you to a pointless war over Korea and Manchuria. This was the war between the Russians and the Japanese that I will guide you through. Now please sit back and relax while I tell you the story between a flying-laser-eyes-bear drinking Vodka fighting with a super kawaii octopus fused with anime powers and stuff.
What is the Russo-Japanese War?
Known as the "first great war of the 20th century," a war broke out of rivalry and economic reasons over Korea and Manchuria (As said from above) between the Russians and the Japanese immediately after the Boxer Rebellion (The Eight-Nation United Britain, Russia, Japan, France, United States, Germany, Italy, and Austria Hungary waging war against China.)
Why did the war began?
There was various reasons on both sides. The Russian Empire wanted Port Arthur because it was operational all year unlike their other port, Vladivostok, that becomes inactive during winter. Not only they wanted the port, but as well the land around it.
Meanwhile the Japanese wanted to expand their empire into Korea and China since they were kind of getting overpopulated on their islands. While on this, they were extremely eager to test their military and navy.
Who won?
Japan won the war, surprisingly. The war ended after Theodore Roosevelt helped make a peace treaty between Russia and Japan, earning a Nobel Peace Prize. Russia was capable of sending more troops to fight, but because of embarrassing defeats at battles and the land Russia was controlling seemed pointless, the majority of civilians began to revolt. They gave up the land they had influence in and pass it over to Japan.
What are the consequences?
Japan earned their victory but at a price. The Japanese public became outraged at the terms of the peace treaty. Discontent spreading lead to several riots in major cities, along with the lacking of two requirements that they were expecting: Territorial gains and profit.
Russia, however, suffered much more. This defeat at war fueled the Russian Revolution of 1905, as well two other revolutions in 1917(This caused them to withdraw from World War I). Humiliation went around the world of stating that this is the first time an Asian country won a war against a white country. Sucks to be them, I guess.
What are the aftermath of this war?
As Japan's navy became considered as the 6th strongest navy in the world, Russia just went to a bar and sobbed on the table, drinking vodka rapidly. Russia lost two of its 3 fleets, while the Imperial Japanese Navy received a hair lock of Admiral Nelson by the British Royal Navy to commemorate one of their victorious battles (I don't now why, but because Nelson was so good). This led to arrogance that leads to dominating other Asians countries, supporting the idea of the Chinese historians that this was Japan's key development in militarism. This made Europe scared of Japan, as well the United States until we dropped a very fat man who ate too much hamburgers. And by fat man, we mean the atomic bomb named Fat Man. This war used trenches, barbed wire, and heavy artillery firepower. This results of having its ideas adopted into WWI.
So that's about it, as we will close this presentation right now. Now that you've gained knowledge of this war, I hope it made you a little smarter. Have a great day, and have a picture of Obama.

Photos: Top from wiki, second from basically Google Images(I may have broken a law here of not to use Google but who cares? :D), and bottom that has nothing to do with this presentation from Facebook I guess.

Steve Ross
New Rochelle, New York, USA. Ross was raised in Washington, DC, and heard a lot of music at home, some from his mother who played piano. In due course, he studied piano himself and by the time he had attended Georgetown University, spent a little time in a seminary, and served in the US Army, he had become an accomplished pianist, drawing his repertoire not from contemporary pop but from the Great American Songbook. In the early 70s he settled in New York City where he soon became well known on the citys cabaret scene. At first a background pianist, he was urged by club owners to sing and gradually began to do this, eventually training as a singer. As his personal style developed, so his reputation spread. Ted Hook, owner of Backstage, a piano bar in the midtown theatre district, hired him. The association was hugely successful and in 1979 Hook opened a new club, Onstage, especially to showcase Ross talents. In 1981, Ross was booked into the Oak Room at...

Sound off
Russian spyTrump has multi-million-dollar investments with Russia. Putin directed the Russian government efforts to help Trump win the election. Trump has repeatedly complimented Putin and has never criticized Russia for its aggression in other countries. The logical conclusion is Trump is a Russian spy who will soon be president. Congratulations, Comrade Trump.Hire Hyno

The puck drops on the 2016-17 Canucks season tonight in Vancouver, and we'll just chalk it up to coincidence that there's a storm raging outside.
It does seem somewhat fitting, though. Most pundits are predicting a tempestuous year in Vancouver — they're the overwhelming favourites to finish a hot last — and here we are, on opening night, watching the clouds roll through and listening to the wind rattle the windows. But, again I say: don't read too much into it. Things could still go very well.
And heck, even a losing season could be kind of fun, although I'll be the first to admit it took me some time to come to terms with the possibility:
But listen: while there's doom and gloom outside Rogers Arena, there remains reason to believe that's where it'll stay, at least for the evening. For one thing, Ben Hutton said so:
Risque tweet by the Canucks. A swear word! And it did not go unnoticed by the easily-offended:
Our heart goes out to poor Rangers Report, who has managed to live in New York without having ever heard a swear word until now.
The Canucks are easing into this year's marathon by cutting their teeth on the Calgary Flames, another team believed by many to be less than good, and Calgary has done little in their first two games to repudiate the notion: they're 0-2 coming into this one, and they'll be playing their third game in four nights. They'll be tired. The Canucks, meanwhile, are playing on six months rest, as they smartly skipped the playoffs last spring to ensure they were fresh for tonight.
Of course, there's always the threat of rust, but the good news is that Vancouver's most important players up front, the Sedin twins and the newly-acquired Loui Eriksson, worked through that at the World Cup of Hockey. That's vital, because the Canucks need that line to click right away if they hope to get off to a good start.
Some people don't think the Sedins have it in them. They are 36 years old, after all. In the hockey world, that may as well be knitting-a-scarf-in-a-rocking-chair age. But Jason Botchford sees it differently, especially since the Sedins are fit as twin fiddles:
Annually, they blow up the team's fitness testing. They are the players everyone in Vancouver measures themselves against, and it's been that way for the better part of a decade. Plus, whatever they're missing in youth, they make up for in 16 years of experience. In a league with so an increasing number of star teenagers, that has to be worth something.
Let's hope it's worth at least 80 points, both for the team and for each Sedin individually.
But it's more than just fitness. As Daniel Sedin explained, they want it.
"If you don't want it, there's no way you're going to get it. But if you do want it, you might get it."
Words of wisdom. Someone pair it with a poster of a kitten hanging from a branch so I can hang it in my office. This is Canucks Live.
6:26 – We've got a scout in the house.
Here to see Luca Sbisa, no doubt. I'd say the Canucks should make sure Kisio gets a good look at him, but that would mean playing him a lot, and I don't recommend that.
6:31 – We talked about the Sedins in the intro, but they aren't the Canucks' only beloved tandem. The pair of Sven Baertschi and Bo Horvat has captured hearts as well. Unfortunately, they won't be playing together, as Horvat starts the year on a fourth line with Alex Burrows and Derek Dorsett.
You might disagree with calling that the fourth line, but let me remind you of the simple principle: if Derek Dorsett is on it, that's what it is.
It does seem like a waste of Horvat's skillset, not to mention his chemistry with Baertschi, but coach Willie seems to think Horvat is better suited to a defensive role. We'll see if he still feels that way if the team needs to score some goals. A lot of these early-season line combinations don't survive the first week.
6:35 – Milestone alert!
It might also be worth keeping an eye on Jannik Hansen, who is one goal away from 100.
6:40 – The Canucks are on the ice!
Wow. I know the Sedins were slow, but I didn't know they were that slow.
6:45 – Here's your opening-night lineup, by the way:
These combinations raise a few questions: How come Gaunce is in Granlund's spot, and Granlund is in Horvat's spot, and Horvat is in Gaunce's spot? I don't know. I just work here.
6:49 – Fun fact about Brendan Gaunce, who starts for the Canucks on the second line: his last name is pronounced "Gah-oontz".
No it's not. But tell your friends it is and then laugh quietly behind their backs when they say it that way to someone else.
6:57 – Who are you calling for the first Canucks goal of the season? My pick is Loui Eriksson. Second pick: Ryan Miller on a delayed Vancouver penalty, after he makes a save and kicks the puck all the way down the ice and into the empty net. It could happen, you guys, and won't I look like a genius if it does. This could make my career.
6:59 – My heart goes out to this pizza guy:
Although, considering how salty tears are, it could make the pizza more delicious. Frankly, they should put this on the menu. They could call it the Scott Tenorman.
7:04 – In addition to catching the Flames on their third game in four nights, the Canucks have caught another break: Dennis Wideman won't be in the lineup tonight for Calgary.
Although Kulak's no slouch. Last year, he was the top defensive player for the Stockton Heat.
7:11 – Mark Donnelly with the anthem, which gives me an excuse to remind you of that time he fell down:
LOL he fell down. Okay, now let's drop the puck.
7:15 – The game started! Everyone shut up.
7:16 – Two things. The first good scoring chance of the season goes to Erik Gudbranson.
Also, Dave Randorf is pronouncing Luca Sbisa's last name "Sa-beez-a". Fun.
7:23 – Speaking of Sbisa, let's be nice to him for once. This was a beautiful hit on Michael Frolik:
If Sbisa did that to someone every shift, he would be my favourite player.
7:28 – Not only did Erik Gudbranson have the first decent Canucks chance, but he broke up the Flames' first good chance, diving out to negate a breakaway before the shot.
We're midway through the first and he's already done two good things. Two!
7:30 – GOAL. It's 1-0 Flames. Remember when I said Loui Eriksson would score the first Canucks goal? He totally did. Unfortunately, it was into his own goal on a delayed penalty, pretty much the exact way I joked Ryan Miller would score it.
Good. Lord. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2016-17 Vancouver Canucks. Buckle up.
7:33 – The season's less than an hour old and we already have a definitive low point. Here's Loui Eriksson scoring on his own team to start the season:
This is real life.
The funniest part of it — if there is a funny part — is that the Flames did this in the opener two years ago.
It's basically an annual tradition.
Even weirder: Dennis Wideman scored that goal. He missed tonight's game, and Brett Kulak drew in. Then Kulak got credit for Vancouver's own goal. What the heck is going on here? If it hadn't happened in real life, I'd say it was too contrived.
7:40 – On the bright side, a goal like that makes for great comedy. Here's the misplay, synched up with audio from one of this year's ads:
…it makes us hard to play against.
7:45 – Not much going on since that flurry of activity. The Canucks started strong, but ever since the goal, they've looked shaky. Ed Willes has a point:
If that turns out to be the turning point in the 2016-17 campaign, never forget how promising Vancouver looked for the first 10 minutes of the season.
7:49 – The first period is over. The Canucks outshot the Flames 9-7 and scored the only goal, but alas, they trail by one. On the bright side, the jokes are coming fast and furious:
The goal has been changed, by the way:
I agree with Elliotte. That's lame, especially since it ruins the weird coincidence of Kulak getting credit in Wideman's stead. So it goes. Although I think Elliotte is mostly booing because Kulak just had his first NHL goal taken away.
He should throw it back.
8:14 – We're back for the second, and all is not lost for the Canucks, who are only down by one. And all is not lost for Ryan Miller, who could still get credited with a shutout, despite trailing by one right now:
I'm cheering for this.
8:16 – The Canucks are going back to the powerplay, and this time, they were fortunate enough to have the whistle blow before they could pull the goalie. Things are looking up for the home team.
8:21 – Nothing doing for the Canucks with the man advantage, but I liked the look of the powerplay, especially Philip Larsen walking the line and looking for shooting lanes. Regardless of whether or not the team is better overall, I do think the powerplay is going to be more effective this year.
8:23 – Um. Luca Sbisa looks really good so far tonight. People are taking notice:
I'm not sure what to make of this. What do I do? What do I say? I did not arrive prepared for Sbisa to play well. Half of my jokes are unusable now.
8:28 – Chris Tanev takes a penalty for hooking after trying to slow down Johnny Gaudreau alone in front of Miller, and the Canucks kill it off. It's still just 1-0 Calgary, and much of that is thanks to Ryan Miller, who is pitching a shutout despite Calgary's lead. What a strange opening night.
8:37 – More fun with Dave Randorf's pronunciation: he's still calling Sbisa "sa-beez-a", and he just pronounced "Haida Gwaii" like this:
So close.
8:40 – The second period ends the same way as the first, with the Canucks trailing by one on a goal they scored by themselves. They had one good chance in the second, with Jake Virtanen being handed a gift right in front of the Calgary goal but, as sometimes happens, he shot it wide. People are upset:
On the bright side, the Flames are finishing up their third game in four nights, so there's a good chance the Canucks can capitalize on some tired legs in the third period and tie this game up. Plus the quality of the jokes remains high:
On to the third.
8:58 – The puck drops on the third. Vancouver will probably take a contribution from anyone at this point, but they could really use something from the Sedins in the final frame:
The line of Henrik, Daniel and Loui has one shot between them, not counting the one that went into the wrong net.
Bo Horvat could probably do more too.
Though it might help if he was allowed to.
9:02 – Chris Tanev takes his second penalty of the night, which is about as rare as an own-goal around these parts:
Nothing is going right today.
9:06 – Unsurprisingly, with the Canucks in need of a goal, Horvat has been reunited with Sven Baertschi and Jake Virtanen.
You knew it was going to happen eventually. Why it didn't happen immediately is beyond me.
9:17 – Just gonna leave this here.
Canucks to the powerplay. The stakes couldn't be higher.
9:27 – Seems like a decent time to mention that the Canucks are on the verge of making franchise history here.
Great. I'm also wondering: if this score holds, will Ryan Miller be the first NHL goalie to post a shutout and somehow lose in regulation?
9:31 – GOAL. Remember how we said the Sedins needed to get going? They got going. Their best shift of the night sees the twins, Eriksson, Tanev and Edler control possession for well over a minute (1:34!), generating several shots and exhausting the Flames defenders before finally getting one past Chad Johnson. It's 1-1 on a goal from Daniel Sedin.
Sure was. On analog speakers.
No kidding. Look at this pass. It's damn cruel.
Meanwhile, that was Daniel Sedin's 84th career point versus Calgary. No active NHLer has more.
9:38 – We're headed to overtime in this one, thanks to the late game-tying goal from Daniel Sedin. Let's take another look at that, because it's sexy:
I want to marry this goal. I would raise children with this goal.
Vancouver hockey is back.
9:46 – The Canucks are dominating the extra frame, and now Jannik Hansen has drawn a penalty with a burst of speed up the middle that necessitated a hook to slow him up.
9:49 – Nothing doing for the Canucks on the late 4-on-3 powerplay, although they definitely had some chances. Now we go to the shootout, where Ryan Miller could still lose this game 2-1 despite recording a shutout in it. Hockey, you crazy.
9:56 – GOAL. Brandon Sutter scores the lone goal in the shootout in the fifth round, giving the Canucks the 2-1 victory.
Sutter kept it simple, coming in quick, then beating Chad Johnson with a low wrister to the fivehole. Fitting, since the Canucks spent much of last year telling us Sutter would have made all the difference. Plus he's Scott Oake's guest tonight on after hours. It's like the whole thing was scripted for ratings.
Some Sedinery. A Ryan Miller shutout. A comeback win. Two points. And the Canucks only need 64 more to start proving the doubters wrong. Things are looking up in Vancouver. That's gonna do it for tonight's edition of Canucks Live. Stay tuned for The Best Thing, and of course, The Provies.

Little Gesture--Huge Impact
Lately I haven't had anything to say. Even now I find it hard to write these words. Maybe I'm content, maybe I am tired, or maybe I'm just uninspired. I trust, however, that my need to express myself will return, sooner rather than later. But there is one thing that I feel the need to tell. It is about an act of kindness performed by my husband.
I go to bed early to read and watch TV, while my husband does his reading in another room. I always have a caffeine-free diet coke on my nightstand. And I usually fall asleep too early, only to wake up later wanting a drink of my diet coke.
Last night was no different except when I picked up the can of coke it was empty. So I sat it back down. When I did, it made that "empty soda can" sound. Well, don't you know, that my husband heard that sound from the other room and brought me a fresh diet coke from the frige.
I'll remember that the next time I'm inclined to get peeved at him.

We have flights booked to Bangkok but have took a real interest into Cambodia and Vietnam aswell, however we have no idea of how get transport to both countries. I have heard that flying is easiest, but we are looking for the cheapest way to get around as we have a tight budget.

Thankyou, avena x

Will's word
The slighter sense is shown by the adjectives when Capulet talks of "a trifling foolish banquet" (Romeo and Juliet, I.v.122) or Timon talks of "an idle banquet" (Timon of Athens, I.ii.152). The concept of a huge feast would make no sense when Sly is said to have "a most delicious banquet by his bed" (The Taming of the Shrew, Induction 1.37). A banquet, moreover, can be prepared in a rush: Enobarbus tells the servants to "bring in the banquet quickly" (Antony and Cleopatra, I.ii.12). And the sense of a light meal taken hurriedly is captured in Henry VIII, where there are two references (I.iv.12, V.iv.64) to a "running banquet".

Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden
The Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden is vast and stunning with an array of flora and fauna, a waterfall, educational walks and even a black eagle which nests atop the waterfall kraans. It is open weekdays and weekends and will sometimes have a show or celebration happening. They also have a mini-train that operates on weekends – great fun for the kids (and possibly the only operational mini-train in Gauteng).
Tip: Make sure you call before you go as I'm sure you don't want to take your significant other on a romantic picnic to find that Robbie Wessels is throwing it down over the loud speakers all day.
Venue: End of Malcolm Road, Poortview, Roodepoort.
This one's for the dog lovers out there. Walkhaven started in 2006 with the strict purpose of being a safe environment to exercise your pooches. Walkhaven has a restaurant, a kennel and a function venue with hordes of families making the trek to spend the day with their family and man's best friend. It's situated in quaint Muldersdrift on a 22 hectare plot of rolling grassland featuring a little dam for your dogs' enjoyment.
Tip: Visit their website for info on getting an annual pass, which also entitles you to other perks.
Venue: Plot 77, Zwartkop, Johannesburg.
Gillooly's Farm
Another great picnic venue, Gillooly's is a staple on the more eastern side of town. This big piece of grassland features everything from braai areas (very rare in parks these days) to conference venues. They even have a restaurant on the property. It's beautiful, safe and is perfect for picnicking with friends as you can braai and play sport or suntan on the lovely flat and soft grass.
Tip: Saturdays tend to be a little busy and sometimes, there can be a bit of ruckus (they don't only allow braaing but also alcohol, which is fun for some… not so fun for all).
Venue: Boeing Road West, Germiston, Johannesburg.
Emmarentia Botanical Gardens
The central Joburg contingent, Emmarentia Dam and Botanical Gardens, is the perfect venue for a picnic. You don't pay entrance and are exposed to a world of beauty and a view of the city which intrinsically forms the ambience of the park. It's known for the dam on the property and more recently for the big live music shows hosted there. They also offer paddle boat hire and benches skirting the dam. This is the most popular park in central Johannesburg and is a must for people who haven't yet visited and even those that have.
Fact: The Emmarentia Botanical Gardens is in fact not one of the eight National Botanic Gardens, it's run by the Joburg Parks Department. Walter Sisulu on the other hand is a National Botanic Garden and is therefore run by the South African National Biodiversity Institute.
Venue: Olifants Road, Emmarentia, Johannesburg.
Van Gaalen Kaasmakerij
A personal favourite of mine, Van Gaalen is a cheese factory, although using the word factory when referring to this little slice of tranquillity would be blasphemy. They do Gouda and only Gouda and they do it well. From aged cheeses to young, softer ones their Gouda is immaculate but enough about their cheeses before I start drooling on my keyboard. The property boasts a restaurant, a small quiet river and, of course, the cheese 'factory'. They provide tours of the cheese making process and allow patrons to use their property for picnics.
Tip: If you phone a day ahead they will make you a picnic basket on the banks of the Skeerpoort river. Another tip would be to book ahead for their restaurant if you ever plan on heading out there because it can get busy.
Venue: Skeerpoort off the R512 (turn off towards Magaliesburg). Call or visit their website for more info.
That's my top 5 but as I said before, there are lots more to choose from. Below are a few places to get your picnic planning going:
- Zoo Lake
- Ethel and James Grey Park and Bird Sanctuary
- Riversands Farm, just off William Nicol
- Rietvlei Nature Reserve
- Your very own back garden

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Hi there
Thank you for writing to us
Actually such swelling does take four to six weeks in routine to settle.
So this is a routine healing process that is going on.
This is not something to worry about and should settle in due course of time
To create compression using a condom is also a good thing to do. There is no harm in that and you can continue using that.
Are you following me?
the condom also dose not stay in place. i am looking for a product that will hold it's shape and not wad up
Actually there is no such product. You would have to repeatedly apply the compressing tapes and hope that they stick.
The swelling or fluid would go down in another week or two time
It can take up to six weeks in total for the swelling to subside and this is normal after penile implant surgery.
the swelling had already gone down, fluid came in after.
Oh okay
Thats good
If the swelling has settled and the fluid is a clear fluid, i.e. not infectious, then this should dry up soon as the healing process is complete
This should be another week or two
So the most important thing is to give it more time
i cannot see the fluid as it floats around between the implant and subderma? .
Yes, its beneath the skin
Which should dry up in due course of time
If this fluid does not dry up in another week or two or keeps getting worse then you should contact your doctor who carried out the surgery fur further evaluation
