Michael Markieta, transportation planner at Arup has developed visualisations of flight paths across the world by using geographical information systems.
Data collected reaches around 58,000 flight paths- the busiest in the world being Atlanta, Georgia in the US and Frankfurt International in Europe. Other top airports include Beijing, Sydney and Cairo.
You can imagine it to be quite hard to display that many flight paths, especially with overlapping. Markieta used different shades of blue- lighter for the short haul flights and darker for the long haul flights. The busiest parts of the map lay over the biggest cities and the outlines of the flight path highlighted areas of the world- leaving no need to apply base layers to identify areas on the map.
Markieta's images used data from openflights.org.

|A Programmer's Editor
|Change Log
Added the long awaited Syntax Highlighting.
Changed the way e93 internally deals with fonts and colors.
Modified the way e93 internally deals with selections.
Added < and > to regular expression matcher to allow matches on word boundaries.
Changed regular expression matcher to allow empty groups (as this helps with the syntax highlighting rules).
Modified text drawing to allow fonts with characters which overhang their cell boundaries (such as serifed and italic fonts) to work without having the overhanging portions clipped.
More code formatting changes.
Bug fix: Reverting to a document which contained 0 bytes did not work correctly.
Bug fix: When doing a replace, the cursor did not always end up in the correct spot.
Modified task code to keep e93 from using pause() to give time back to the system when tasks have data for the editor. This resulted in a 30% speed increase when reading task data into buffers on fast machines.
Added "the Hand" function to the middle mouse button to allow easier text movement.
Changed .e93rc to show modified files in the "Choose window" dialog.
Changed .e93rc to remember the contents of some dialogs across invocations.
Changed the function of SHIFT-Arrow keys to work more as expected: previously, the selection was always expanded. Now, it expands and contracts in a more intuitive way.
Changed the columnar paste algorithm: OLD way: delete all selections in document, paste columnarly. NEW way: paste each selection of the clipboard over each selection in the document until we run out of selections in the clipboard or document. If there are no more selections in the document, then paste the remaining clipboard selections columnarly. If there are no more selections in the clipboard, delete the remaining selections in the document.
Changed behavior of the horizontal scroll bar so that it is possible to scroll the text beyond the right-most position dictated by the thumb. This makes it possible to see and edit the ends of very long lines, but does add a small bit of strangeness to the behavior of the scroll bar.
Changed the way the editor homes the view when text is being sent to a buffer from a task. Now, the editor will not scroll horizontally when it homes. This makes it much easier to see what is happening when tasks dump long lines into the view.
Allowed the escape key to be used to abort searches and scripts.
Code formatting changes.
Some problems with SIGALRM fixed under Linux and IRIX.
The fallback font list (fonts e93 looks for when it cannot locate the one it really wants) has been changed. This was done to make e93 behave better on machines that do not have b&h fonts.
Opening and closing of e93's menus has been made slightly more efficient. This was done to make it faster with some window managers (like fvwm) which tend to behave very slowly when e93 changes the size of its menu window.
The open and save dialogs have been changed slightly to make them more friendly.
The startup procedure which reads the .e93rc file has been improved to handle some error cases in a more friendly way.
4 new Tcl commands have been added:
These allow variables to be created which are local to any given buffer. This will make it much easier for Tcl scripts to hang information off of a buffer, and reference it later.
Finally, .e93rc has been changed in the following way:
Some minor cleanup to code calling Tcl.
Some bugs related to reporting errors at inopportune times were located and removed. These usually showed themselves during very low memory conditions.
Double click timer is now reset in the file dialog boxes. Clicking rapidly on the file list now works as expected.
The initial delay before repeated scrolling/paging with scroll bars has been lengthened slightly.
The allowable delay between consecutively typed characters in list boxes has been lengthened slightly.
A bug in the menu code was removed. The bug was caused by clicking multiple mouse buttons at the same time while tracking menu items.
The directory dialog has been modified to show only directories. Previously it also showed files.
Color handling has been altered so that named colors are now recognized. Previous to this, all colors had to be specified as 6 hex digits RRGGBB. Now, if a machine supports color names, e93 will also accept them.
.e93rc was modified:
Characters with diacritical marks such as umlauts and other special characters which are contained in the upper half of the character set will now be displayed properly by e93. Previously, any character above 0x7F would have been displayed as its hexidecimal equivalent. e93 will now use the character contained in the current font (as long as it is not of 0 width, in which case, it will display the hex equivalent as before).
Two new relative cursor movement modes have been defined: STARTPARAGRAPH and ENDPARAGRAPH which will move the cursor to the start or end of a paragraph. These modes can be used with the following commands:
.e93rc was modified:
All dialogs were modified to handle error conditions more consistently.
The Ok dialog was modified to wrap text instead of drawing it off the edge.
Open/save file dialogs were modified to handle more cases. Also a "/" was added after all items in the dialogs which point to directories.
A new Path selection dialog was written, and a Tcl command (pathdialog) was added.
Menus were modified so that you do not have to hold the mouse button down while making menu selections. You can now click on the various submenus one at a time to make a selection. This is more consistent with most window managers, and easier to use.
Text routines were sped up by adding a cache mechanism that allows e93 to locate positions in the text more quickly. The speed increase should be especially noticeable when editing large files (>1MB). Assuming you have enough virtual memory, e93 should now be able to edit very large (<2GB) files without a noticeable slow down.
When treating replacement text as a Tcl script, 10 new variables (in addition to $found) are available if the search string was a selection expression: $0 - $9 are now set to the \0 through \9 matches of the selection expression.
A bug that caused a rare memory leak related to search and replace was found and fixed.
A bug in realpath2 that caused extra '/' characters to appear in its output was fixed.
The clipboard interface with X windows has changed. Previously, e93 used the clipboard mechanism to import/export to the X windows environment. However, most X windows applications do not use the clipboard. Instead, they use the X selection mechanism. Users complained that they could not easily communicate with programs that used only the selection mechanism (most programs). So, e93 now does the following to support communication with other X applications: Whenever text is copied into e93's current clipboard, e93 takes ownership of the current selection. If another application does a "paste selection" (many use the middle mouse button for this) while e93 owns the selection, the application will get the text in e93's current clipboard. Conversely, If another application owns the current selection, attempts to paste from the current clipboard within e93 will cause it to copy the selected text from the current selection owner into the current clipboard before pasting. This all seems somewhat convoluted, but since e93 supports multiple selections simultaneously across multiple windows, and X does not, this is the best solution I can currently offer.
The editor startup scheme was modified so that it looks for the .e93rc file in your home directory first, but if it is not found, it will now also look through the path given by $PATH in its environment. As soon as it locates a .e93rc file that it can open, it will execute it and stop looking. A Tcl global variable SCRIPTPATH is set to the path of the script that is executed.
The font selection dialog was written. It is better than what it replaces (a dialog that made you type in the font you wanted) but it still could use some work.
The increment of the minor version number (1.0->1.1) indicates lots of changes.
.e93rc was modified:
README.e93 was written, as a first cut at a manual. Read it, if you have suggestions, let me know. There is a lot more to do in this arena, but I hate writing documentation, so this is it for a while.
A proper open/save file dialog was written. It is kind of different. Let me know how you like it.
There is also a new listdialog function which allows choices from a Tcl list. This dialog was used to implement the new "Windows..." menu function.
Dialog management has changed significantly.
Color handling was improved, so the editor should not just quit if it cannot get colors at startup. The new behavior is to just get either black, or white depending on which color is closer to the one asked for.
Tasks are now hung off of buffers, instead of windows as they were previously. This allows for tasks to be running in buffers which do not have associated windows.
EOF can now be sent to a task by closing the input pipe.
Task error handling has been improved.
A speed governor was installed on all scrolling items so you folks with screaming fast machines will not have things scrolling so fast as to be annoying. This should not slow down slow machines.
LOTS of minor source code changes.
.e93rc was modified:
The call to the library function "realpath" in xgui/misc.c was replaced by a call to a new internal routine "realpath2" which does the same thing. This was done for those machines that do not include "realpath" in their libraries.
xgui/includes.h was modified to include
Two bugs in keybind.c were found and corrected.
Error reporting at init time was enhanced so that users would know if e93 failed to start up because of a lack of available colors.
Startup script execution has been changed so that the editor will not startup if it cannot locate the startup script.
The default .e93rc was slightly modified to change the colors of some windows.
guidefs.h was modified to get rid of an array of 0 length that offended some compilers.
The makefile was altered to get rid of -L$(LIB) in the link line which was causing trouble.
killpg in xgui/tasks.c was modified to kill(-pid...) because some systems do not have killpg.
xgui/events.c was modified to make sigaction a little more portable.
The clipboard is now imported when the editor starts.
A new Tcl command called "version" was added to allow users to find out which version of the editor they are using.

How To Get The Best Term Life Insurance Policy?
Security of your family is very important these days and it is thereby important to have a life insurance.Life insurances are of two types.They are namely: Whole life insurance and term life insurance.You need to pay the premium for your entire life in whole life insurance, whereas you need to pay the premium for a fixed term in term life insurance.You may choose the best life insurance for you, it is completely your choice.Many factors affect the life insurance policy.
The length of the term life insurance depends in the deciding factors such as the number of years left before your retirement and the age of your children.The insurance policy with the least premium may be the one which you may want to go for.But make sure that the insurance offers you proper coverage.Compare the various quotes available and choose the best life insurance policy for yourself.The current health of the person, his job conditions and smoking habits of the person also play an important role in deciding the premium to be paid.
You may be able to get some discount if you get your life insurance done by the company that has insured your house and car.Also, life insurance if taken during a young age has fewer premiums attached to it as compared to the life insurance taken at an old age.Obese people are loaded with more premiums because of the uncertainty of their health.Thus if you avoid some things and practice some good things from the above mentioned things, you can get the best advantages and benefits.
Before granting the insurance policy to a person, life insurance companies to take medical test of that person.This is logical as if a person is critical or medically unfit then the company is at the loss.Many people fear giving the medical test.For such people there is an option in the form of no medical exam term life insurance.Here the person can still apply for insurance without going under any medical test, this is a good option for such people.You need to mention the amount needed which you have calculated, your age, height, weight etc. in the form available on the internet and you need to fill in all the details.Cover up to a certain limit is only available in this case.
Thus the no medical exam term life insurance can prove helpful to many people who do not want to give the medical test.You just have to answer a questionnaire on the webpage or in hard copy, and then you are allowed to get the term insurance as per the requirement.

Photography by Tori Ray in San Juan, Puerto Rico
I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to write this one because this was one of my favorite moments of our trip. We made it to the beach, just in time for dusk. The storm left damp sand and a glow in the air. The sea swallowed the sky; almost the same shade of blue. The prettiest palms lined the beach. It was beautiful.

Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse
The liver is one of the most amazing organs in the body. In the Chinese medicine, liver is directly connected to the eyes. Liver and gallbladder congestion is very common; consider how many people have had their gallbladders removed. This buildup is the result of overeating, alcohol, tobacco, various chemicals, medications, pesticides, herbicides, and other substances the body has been exposed to, and is trying to eliminate. Liver filters toxins from the blood and moves them to the gallbladder where they are stored. This cleanse, by Hulda Clark author of 'The Cure for all Diseases' was designed to safely and easily move those stones out of the body. Although not really fun, it is the best method I have found to cleanse the liver and improve health and digestion.
You will need; 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts, ½ cup of high-quality organic olive oil, 2/3 to 3/4 cup fresh pink grapefruit juice, 4 to 8 tablets of ornithine (an amino acid), large plastics straw and two pint jars with lid.
Day 1 and 2; drink 4 to 8, 8 ounce glasses of apple juice for two days before this was soft and the stones and make elimination easier it mostly fruit and vegetables.( I dispense with this)
Day 3: eat a light breakfast of fruit or juice and vegetables, or nothing for lunch. Choose a day like Saturday so you can rest. Take no unnecessary pills or vitamins. This allows the bile to build up pressure in the liver. High pressure will push out more stones. Do not eat or drink after 2:00 PM. Mix 4 tablespoons of Epsom salts in 3 cups of of water in a jar. This makes four servings of three-quarter cup each.
6:00 PM: drink one 3/4 cup portion of Epsom salts solution. Rinse your mouth if you don't like the aftertaste.
8:00 PM: repeat drinking 3/4 cup portion of Epsom salts solution.
9:45 PM: pour ½ cup of olive oil in a pint jar. Squeeze grape by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with a fork. You should have about 3/4 cup of gapefruit juice. Add this to the olive oil. Close jar and shake hard until watery. Do not drink yet. Grapefruit juice is the only juice that will do this with oil. Now go on use the bathroom.
10:00 PM: Shake hard and drink the potion you have mixed. Take the ornithine with the first steps to make sure you will sleep through the night. Drinking through the straw helps it to go down easier. If you having a problem with the taste use a bit of a maple syrup to chase it down between the sips. Drink standing up and finish within 4 to 5 minutes at the most. ( I drik it all immidiately without a straw)
Lie down immediately. You will not get many stones out if you don't. Lay on your right side, relax and go to sleep. Next morning upon awakening, take your third dose of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking Epsom salts solution. Don't drink this prior to 6:00 AM, then go back to bed.
Two hours later, take the fourth dose of Epsom salts. Then go back to bed again, if you can. Another two hours later, you may eat but start with the fruit juice only. One hour later eat some fruit, one hour later you can eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered. I personally prefer to fast that day and I eat next morning.
Expect diarrhea in the morning and for the rest of the day. Green and brown stones are gallstones. They will float in the toilet. Cholesteryl crystals will appear as tan colored "chaff" floating on the water. Count them. Hulda Clark says you will need to eliminate hundreds to thousands to eliminate bursitis or allergies. You may repeat cleanses monthly until no more stones are passed.
According to Hulda now you will look forward to clearer eyes, skin, shiny hair, and lower cholesterol, plus the ability to digest fatty foods more easely.
Dandelion root, artichoke and other bitter green foods will cleanse the liver on a regular basis. Milk thisle extract is another herb that will improve bile flow and heal the liver.
*** Those who have problematic gallstones, intestinal obstructions or are pregnant should consult with a naturopathic physician before undertaking a liver cleanse.

Saying something positive like "Thank you" or "Good dog" starts training the owner to think of barking as a positive thing, which helps the dog to calm down sooner. Remember the Dobermans in the non-burgled house?
I have heard about these "no-bark" collars before, and as before, I am shocked and appalled by the very idea that anyone would choose to do this to their beloved animals. If you are new to pet ownership and think this would be a good way to train your dog to not bark, do your research. Read books and training manuals, and talk to kennel owners, Humane Society volunteers, and professional trainers, and find out what people who are heavily involved and invested in the welfare of dogs really think about the no-bark collars. Because these collars are no good, and certainly anyone with any sense of how to treat a dog would ever seriously consider using one of these devices.
Keep greetings low key. Teach your dog to sit and stay when meeting people at the door so that he has something to do instead of barking. This will reduce his excitement level. First teach him to sit and stay when there aren't any people at the door so that he knows the behavior well before you ask him to do it with the distraction and excitement of real visitors arriving.
All content on this site is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not intended to be nor can it be considered actionable professional advice. It must not be used as an alternative to seeking professional advice from a veterinarian or other certified professional.
In situations such as when the postman or visitors come to the door or a phone rings and your dog becomes very vocal, teaching them to perform a behaviour that simply takes your dog's mind off barking should do the trick.
The solution in this case is really simple. All that you have to do is block the window view. This does not mean that you want to stop light from coming into your home. It just means that you have to find creative ways to stop the dog from seeing what is there. That will stop the triggers and he will no longer bark. It is normal for dogs to bark at other animals and what is naturally perceived as prey. Does your dog often look out the window? Does he randomly start barking and you have no idea why? It might be because he saw something that got him really excited.
If barking during the day is a problem because the dog is left outside, see if the neighbor will agree to install a dog house where the dog can take shelter during the day. Discuss a certain date by which the dog house will be installed.
Be consistent so you don't confuse your dog. Everyone in your family must apply the training methods every time your dog barks inappropriately. You can't let your dog get away with inappropriate barking some times and not others.
"Demand barking tends to be shorter—a single bark or a few in quick succession. There are more pauses in between, and the dog is usually looking at you or the thing they want. It's much more controlled," she says.
For immediate help, I recommend that you visit our website and plug in your zip code or city to see if there is a VSPDT local to you. If there isn't, there is always the option of doing a phone consultation with one of them.
If your dog barks a lot when left and you are unable to resolve this by following our tips, you are likely to need help from a qualified dog behaviourist to address the problem. You can find one by contacting your vet, or on the Animal Behaviour and Training Council website.
If your dog barks inappropriately, it is important to start by setting yourself a realistic goal. Planning for your dog to stop barking completely is not realistic – barking is a natural dog behaviour and dogs will bark – more or less, and largely depending on the breed – whether we want it or not. You can reduce the amount of barking, but stopping it will never be possible.
Dog's need both mental stimulation, often found in the form of training, and also physical exercise to tire them out. If these needs aren't met, they may entertain themselves by singing the song of their people… loudly.
The key concept is to keep control at all times. In other words DO NOT LOSE control of your dogs (think of a horse that has bolted from a stable)…a dog who is off leash and does not respond to a recall is by definition "out of control".
DO NOT let your dog bark constantly outside, regardless of the reason. You can hardly train her to stop barking by yelling at her across the yard. Plus, it is one of the fastest ways to turn neighbors into enemies and send an invitation to your local police.
Understandably, if your dog is barking because he is anxious, this will really add to his problems. Citronella collars require you to buy replacement cartridges frequently, so can be much more expensive than consulting a veterinary behaviorist.
It gives your dog the message that YOU are in charge, not them, and as explained above, it will help them stop worrying about you when you are not around. When you're ready, you can always call them over to you, on your terms, for love and cuddles.
There was the time I was engrossed in writing an article and our dogs were alarm-barking ferociously. Resisting the urge just to tell them to stop, I reluctantly got up to investigate. No, the house wasn't on fire, but I did find our horses running down the driveway toward the road.
Many dogs bark when they get excited or when they are frustrated by an inability to get at or do something. For example, the dog who runs through the backyard barking and whining when he hears his buddy out in the yard next door, or the dog who barks at the ball that rolled under the sofa a bit too far for him to get.
Of course with all dog training the more your dog takes notice of YOU the better! (Something I'll explain a bit more later on…) So if your dog is not taking a blind bit of notice then we need to go back a couple of steps and get their focus and attention first!
If you are consistent with your training and practice several times each day on the weekends and at least twice a day on weekdays (such as before work and in the evening), you may be able accomplish long-term comfort in under a month.[37] However, every dog is different, and your dog may need a longer training period or more training sessions each day.
Create distractions. With some dogs it does require an interrupter or distraction to take their mind off of the stimulus to bark. In other words, there has to be something that breaks the concentration on the barking. In some cases the intensity is too high for a verbal command to cut through the behavior. The interrupter in that case may be another noise, such as using a tool that emits a high frequency sound when the dog barks. This is not a pleasant sound to the dog and interrupts his barking. A beanbag, a piece of chain and even a can with pebbles or coins in it, can provide the interruption too. It works like this – the dog barks and this loud object lands on the floor in front of him. You act as though it came from "Heaven." Now he thinks every time he barks for no reason or if he continues unnecessarily, something falls from the sky.
Leash issues are a huge problem for the dog-owning public and a leading culprit for why so many otherwise healthy dogs are doomed to life (or usually more accurately, an early death) in animal shelters. Whether it's simple leash-pulling or more significant leash reactivity and leash aggression, the primary thing to keep in mind is that these issues are almost always preventable and manageable when using positive training methods.
It's a lose-lose situation no matter which side of the fence you're on. Whether it's your dog that's barking or your neighbor's pooch that won't stop flapping his jowls, nobody's happy … including the dog.
Busy toys: (helpful for attention seeking/demand barkers, boredom barkers and separation distress barkers) both boredom barkers and separation distress barkers benefit from having something to do when their people leave the house. Hard rubber toys that dispense treats are a great way to keep them occupied and happy when alone. They're also great for dogs that bark for attention. For example, if your dog barks at you every time you get on the phone, give him a busy toy to keep him occupied while you make calls.
Dogs engage in territorial barking to alert others to the presence of visitors or to scare off intruders or both. A dog might bark when he sees or hears people coming to the door, the mail carrier delivering the mail and the maintenance person reading the gas meter. He might also react to the sights and sounds of people and dogs passing by your house or apartment. Some dogs get especially riled up when they're in the car and see people or dogs pass by. You should be able to judge from your dog's body posture and behavior whether he's barking to say "Welcome, come on in!" or "Hey, you'd better hit the road. You're not welcome at my place!" If you're dealing with a dog in the first category, follow the treatment outlined in this article for greeting barking (below). If you're dealing with a dog in the latter category who isn't friendly to people, you'll be more successful if you limit your dog's ability to see or hear passersby and teach him to associate the presence of strangers with good things, such as food and attention.
If your dog isn't house-safe, use crates, exercise pens, a professional dog walker (or volunteer one – you'd be amazed at how many people would like to walk a dog, but not own one!), lots of exercise, even doggie daycare to keep him out of trouble, until he earns house privileges. You can also enrich the dog's environment, by giving him interactive toys such as food-stuffed Kong toys that keep his brain engaged and his mouth busy.
Because extinction undergoes some interesting processes, it is worth learning why the act of not getting up still causes your dog to bark or even causes it to increase in intensity and duration. This behavior can be explained as "extinction bursts". What happens in an "extinction burst" is the behavior increases temporarily, enough to have dog owners believe that the act of not getting up is not working.
The dog might still be able to sense your presence by hearing or smelling you, so if barking persists, it may be time to introduce yourself to the pup so it knows you're not a threat. Ask your neighbor if you can meet their dog and make friends. If the dog doesn't see you as an intruder anymore, it may not feel the need to bark when you're around.

Genoa Township's police and fire levy committee is working to make a recommendation to the trustees on Dec. 3.
Genoa Township's police and fire levy committee is working to make a recommendation to the trustees on Dec. 3.
The recommendations will include millage amounts for police and fire levies that could go on the ballot in May.
As part of the process, committee chairman John Troy has asked the trustees about police and fire department needs before making that recommendation.
Troy asked the trustees if the township's general fund should include reserves for the police and fire departments.
The township's audit and finance committee is working to create a line item in the general fund for reserves. The current budget does not include any reserves, said administrator Paul Wise.
"There's carryover balances but nothing stated as a reserve fund," Wise said.
The township's general fund reserve line item would be for all non-levied services, which include administration, parks and zoning.
Township services that are funded by levies are the police and fire departments, as well as the maintenance department, which handles roads and bridges.
These departments also have no line item reserve, Wise said.
Trustee Gerry Cotter said at the Oct. 15 trustees meeting she did not want to include reserves for the levied services in the general fund. The other trustees agreed.
"I think the township has held off on a lot of projects for a long time and that's how the reserves built up in the general fund. But it's because we've been trying to survey and get a long-term plan in place," Cotter said.
"Personally, I think there should be some buffer in the departments themselves. I think that we have really good managers right now that try and save money wherever they can and not just spend down their entire budget each year," she said.
"I would like to continue going forward that way because I think that's been successful," she added. "If we have a levy failure, I would hate to be in the position of having to cut service because we don't have enough funds in reserve," she added.
Troy has said he would take the trustees' response back to the committee, which will continue to discuss the levies until its presentation to trustees in December.
In 2005, township residents passed two separate five-year, 3.3-mill levies for the police and fire departments. The township's three-year, 0.7-mill road and bridge also passed and was renewed in 2008, according to the Delaware County Board of Elections.
The township also has a roads levy committee. It is active only right before an election, assistant administrator Joe Clase said.
The next road and bridge levy to fund the maintenance department will not be on the ballot until 2011.

Barcelona, Spain, November 2013
This week´s Photo challenge topic is rule of thirds. I think I use this technique quite often, so I just had to dig into my archives and find a nice example. I took this picture in Barcelona when we were walking along the coast. The colour tones of the sky and the reflection on the building in the corner are the reasons why I like this picture.

Horrible and incredible story: A dog whose face ate worms incredible recovered! (WARNING)
A dog in India passed through hell, but the story of a dog named Kalu, who was found in a hole, half-eaten face, will touch.
Dog in the Indian state of Radžestan, found by volunteers of the humanitarian organization Animal Aid Unlimited. The dog crawled into the hole to die after wound on his muzzle retracted worms that have begun to eat his face. Note that the shot we made quite disturbing.
Kalu's face was almost completely eaten, all the way to the bone. On the dog's head you can literally see the skull, but volunteers still took the dog to the shelter in Udaipur, where he began to heal.
Although he suffered incredible pain and was on the verge of death – at one point veterinarians debating whether or not to put him asleep – Kalu and everyone around him did not give up and managed to remove worms. They washed his wounds thoroughly.
His wounds had bent and volunteers let him rest. The third day was the first time something he eat …
On the fifth day, the volunteers realized that his eye wasn't eaten, and on his destroyed face started to grow hair. A miracle happened, all thanks to the incredible spirit of a dog.

Stubborn Tenant Running for Mayor of Chicago
Well, he did it.
I'm referring to Rob Halpin, the renter who wouldn't give up Rahm Emanuel's Chicago home once Rahm returned from Washington to run for mayor of Chicago.
Halpin added insult to injury today when he threw his hat in the ring as a candidate to also run for mayor of our fare city.
Bet Emanuel never saw this coming when he okayed the lease on his Ravenswood home.
The deadline to file a petition to run for mayor of Chicago was November 22. Citizens and opponents have until November 30 to challenge candidacies.
Emanuel's residency will certainly be challenged, as mayoral candidates are required to have lived in Chicago for a year before election day. A year ago, Emanuel was in Washington working for President Obama as his White House chief of staff, while Halpin earned his residency by living in Rahm's Chicago house.
Approximately 18 candidates filed the necessary paperwork to run for the big office in Chicago, including Halpin and Emanuel, State Senator James Meeks, former Chicago Board of Education President Gery Chico, former U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun and outgoing U.S. Senator Roland Burris, who got his post from about-to-be-ousted governor Rod Blagojevich.
The election is Feb. 22, 2011. Anything we can do to convince you to stay, Mr. Daley?

The story
In the sprawling, privileged neighborhoods around L.A., bored teenagers with too much time and too much money string one hazy day into another, looking for the next thrill--doing suburban imitations of the thug life they idolize from rap music, video games and movies. When you're living without any consequences, anything can happen. And in the hot California summer six years ago, something did. Johnny Truelove controls the drugs on the well-manicured streets of his neighborhood. Where Johnny goes, the party, the girls and his loyal gang follow. When he's double-crossed over missing deal money by raging hothead Jake, Johnny and his gang impulsively kidnap Jake's little brother, Zack, holding him as a marker and heading to Palm Springs. With no parents in sight, they grow used to having the kid around, and Zack enjoys an illicit summer fantasy of drinking, girls and new experiences. Out in the desert, Johnny and his boys lose sight that the kid is a hostage who can't just be neatly returned. As the days tick by, the options of how to get themselves out of their situation start to disappear. Good times turn bad and bad turns worse as Johnny finds himself out of his league and with no idea how to fix it.

text: Share: Comments Print December 31, 2011 at 6:17 PM Oregon live game thread Posted by Percy Allen IT'S OVER — UW 76-60. HEADING HOME — Some fans are leaving. UW 76-57, 1:36. SMART PLAY — With the shot clock winding down, Gaddy pumped faked Carlos Emory and got him in the air. Then he jumped in to draw a foul. He made one of three free throws. UW 71-57, 4:05. HOCKEY LINE CHANGE — Altman substituted four players. He's looking for a spark. Oregon is pressing in the back court. It's not working. UW 67-51, 6:49. WILCOX TAKES OVER — Just when things looked grim, Wilcox drained consecutive three-pointers for the Huskies. He has five three-pointers and 15 points. UW 54-46, 11:27. SHIFT IN MOMENTUM — Washington led 47-36 at the time of the altercation. Three minutes later, UW is ahead 48-44 with 13:02 left. Romar called a timeout to halt Oregon's momentum. A WORD ON GANT — Got to say I liked how Gant ran to the aid of Wroten while he was beefing with Wroten. That's what a captain does. It was the best leadership I've seen from him this season. UW 48-40, 13:50. SO WHAT HAPPENED? — According to ESPN2, officials issued technicals because they couldn't determine from the video if the contact was intentional. They did however, hear what was said between Gant and Oshaolu. UW 47-38, 15:14. DAGGER — Gaddy drained an open three-pointer. UW 64-49, 7:59. TECHNICALS — Ashaolu and Gant were given technical fouls. Weird. That's Gant's second foul. Ashaolu also has two fouls. ROMAR NOT PLEASED — Officials are talking to both coaches. Romar doesn't like it. RIVALRY — Wroten and Ashaolu got tangled and hooked elbows. Wroten fell during the altercation and got up very heated. Both players exchanged harsh words and Gant jumped in the middle of the fray. Replays reveal Wroten elbowed Ashaolu and the refs are looking at the play. Looks like incidental contact to me. UW 47-36, 15:50. N'DIAYE DOMINATING — N'Diaye only has six points and five rebounds, but he's controlling the middle. It's not so much how many stats he has, his presence keeps the Ducks out of the middle. When there's a loose ball inside, he's swallowing it up. UW 45-36, 16:52. CIRCUS — Ross converted a wild, throw-it-at-the rim shot. UW 43-33, 17:54. FOUL TROUBLE — Ross picked up his third foul. UW 41-30, 19:14. SECOND HALF — Wilcox is starting for Gaddy, who has three fouls. Same starters for Oregon. HALFTIME OBSERVATIONS — Washington is killing Oregon on points off of turnovers (12-2) and fast break points (9-0). The Ducks are staying in the game because they've outscored the Huskies 10-2 on second-chance points. And Singler has helped their cause. He has a game-high 13 points. Wroten leads Washington with 11. It's been a relatively quiet game for him. Still he has three assists, two steals and two turnovers. Wilcox (nine points) and N'Diaye (six points and three rebounds) have been the other stars for UW. The Huskies are controlling the game with their defense. They've held the Ducks to 32.4 percent shooting and 2-14 shooting on three-pointers. That's outstanding. Gaddy and Wroten are denying penetration and Oregon's best offense is throwing it on the glass and scoring on the putback. Singler has gotten free a few times, but Simmons isn't letting him go anymore. HALFTIME STATS — Click here. HALFTIME — UW 41-30. FIFTH SUB — Hikeem Stewart is in. Both teams are on a mini-drought. Ross hit a three-pointer for the only points in the last two minutes. UW 39-28, 1:37. FRUSTRATED — Altman is pushing buttons, but he's unable to solve the Huskies' suffocating defense. Washington is making life miserable for the Ducks who are shooting 33.3 percent. Washington has forced nine turnovers for 12 points. UW 36-26, 3:42. MOMENTUM CHANGING — Simmons stole the ball and gave it to Wilcox for a three-pointer. On the next possession, the Huskies forced another turnover and Wroten blew by Joseph with a cross-over dribble for a fast break layup. UW 36-24, 4:16. BLOCK PARTY — N'Diaye blocked two shots on the same defensive possession. When the Huskies got the ball, Wroten connected with Gaddy with a no-look pass for a layup. Oregon coach Dana Altman called timeout. UW 28-22, 6:06. SINGLER HEATING UP — Singler is finding the range. He's scored the last two baskets for the Ducks. On the last shot, he didn't hesitate to nail a three-pointer. He has a game-high 11 points. No other Oregon player has more than 5. UW 24-22, 7:32. UW GOES ZONE — The Huskies switched to a zone and Singler drained a long jumper. UW 24-22, 8:24. PICKING UP THE PACE — Both teams are going back and forth now. Not a lot of defense being played. Not sure what Joseph was thinking when he tried to press Wroten by himself in the back court. Wroten blew past him and raced in for a layup. UW 21-15, 10:03. NICE HANDS — Wilcox poked the ball away from Ashaolu and dove on the floor for a loose ball. Really good play. UW 17-11, 11:56. BULL DOZER — Wroten ran over Singler who tried to set a pick. Singler fell, which forced a turnover and Wroten scored on a fast break dunk. UW 14-9, 13:24. STRUGGLING AGAINST ZONE — The Huskies are having a difficult time deciphering Oregon's zone. They managed just one basket – a Gaddy three-pointer – in four possessions. UW 7-7, 15:35. KINGMA GOES IN — Brett Kingma, the younger brother of UW player Kristi, is in the game for Oregon. UW 7-7, 15:50. FIRST SUBS — C.J. Wilcox and Desmond Simmons are in for Ross and Gant. UW 7-7, 16:34. TWO ON ROSS — Ross picked up his second foul. Not good. UW 4-4, 17:46. NICE START — N'Diaye has scored the only points. UW 4-0, , 18:20. BODY LANGUAGE — A few courtside observers didn't like the Huskies' body language during warmups. We'll see if that means anything. STARTING LINEUPS — No changes for UW: Abdul Gaddy, Tony Wroten Jr., Terrence Ross, Darnell Gant and Aziz N'Diaye. Oregon has one change. Center Tony Woods is replaced by F Olu Ashaolu. The other starters include: G Garrett Sim, G Jonathan Loyd, G Devoe Joseph and F E.J. Singler. EARLY ARRIVALS — Leave it to Oregon to bring out the UW fans. We're about 18 minutes away from the star and Hec Ed is about half full. I've gotten used to the late-arriving crowds. I think UW gets its first sellout tonight. DUBS??? — Maybe I'm clueless, but I think that's Dubs the UW mascot on the floor and mingling with court side fans. Not sure I've seen him at basketball games before. and not sure if his name is Dubs. For some reason that name is in my head. ON TV — You can find the game on ESPN2. David Fleming and Sean Farnham have the call. Not sure about online options. Check ESPN3.com. HAPPY NEW YEAR'S — Who schedules a 7 p.m. game on New Year's Eve? Seriously. That's just ridiculous. I understand an afternoon game, but 7 p.m.? Ridiculous. Anyway I'm here. You're here. Let's have some fun. Comments | Topics: Abdul Gaddy, C.J. Wilcox

A/N: There are several direct quotes of dialogue from DH Chapter 30, "The Sacking of Severus Snape". JKR owns the entire HP universe--I'm just playing in it. ;)
Part 25
Percy arrived in the Hogshead with a small pop. He was surprised that the place was empty except for Aberforth behind the bar, idly wiping a glass with a dirty rag. Percy had to wonder if he ever had changed that rag.
"You're one of the Weasleys, aren't you? What do you want?"
"Yes, Sir. I'm Percy Weasley." Percy continued to look around in a distracted manner.
"What are you looking for, boy?"
"I'm just surprised at how empty your pub is. I've never seen it without anyone here."
"It's that damnable curfew. Bloody well could put me out of business," Aberforth grumbled.
Percy took a deep breath and decided he better quit wasting time and state the reason he had come. "Augusta Longbottom told me I should stop by."
"She did, did she?"
"Yes, Sir. She told me I should ask you about the Phirewhiskey. The kind with a "ph" not an "f"" . . . Percy trailed off as he knew he was babbling.
"Well, why didn't you say so? Come on, lad. Follow me." Aberforth's abrupt change of demeanor rather startled Percy, but he hastened to follow. As Aberforth climbed the stairs, he continued talking, "They're making a go of it at Hogwarts. Harry Potter has come back, and they are preparing to fight the Death Eaters. I'm sure they'll need all the help they can get." Aberforth opened a door and ushered Percy through. He pointed to the fireplace and said, "Up you go."
"Up I go, where?"
"Climb on the mantle, and go through the secret passage behind the portrait of my sister. It leads to the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts. I've been smuggling food in to Longbottom and some other kids through there for weeks." Aberforth glared at Percy. "Well! What are you waiting for, lad?"
Percy nodded, and did as he was told. He had never heard of any Room of Requirement, but was glad Aberforth was taking care of Neville. Neville's still being alive was definitely good news.
Percy hurried through the tunnel, surprised that such a thing existed at Hogwarts. He reached the end and was climbing out when he lost his balance and fell with a great thump. He used a convenient chair to pull himself off the floor, and as he straightened his glasses and clothing, he said, "Am I too late? Has it started? I only just found out so I—I— . . ."
Percy's voice trailed off. As he looked around, he saw his whole family except for Charlie. He assumed the blond woman standing next to Bill was his new sister-in-law, Fleur. When Percy just stared, and didn't say anything, Fleur began speaking to Remus Lupin just to break the silence. Percy was trying desperately to gather his thoughts and say something, but his brain had completely abandoned him. Finally, Percy decided he couldn't just stand there and would spit out everything he had been thinking for months.
"I was a fool! I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a—a— . . ." He couldn't really think of words bad enough to even describe the way he had treated his family.
"Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron," Fred supplied helpfully.
Yes, I was!" Percy wondered if he still had some of the Veritaserum in his system. Oh, well. It was about time he was honest with his family.
"Well, you can't say fairer than that." Fred came over to Percy and shook his hand. Percy was so overcome with emotion he couldn't speak. He found it hard to believe that he would be forgiven so easily, especially by Fred. His Mum burst into tears, ran towards him, pushed Fred out of the way, and almost tackled Percy in one of her signature hugs. Being in his mother's arms made Percy realize just how much he had truly missed his family.
With his eyes tearing up, he looked over his Mum's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Dad." His Dad hurried over to hug him, too.
"What made you see sense, Perce?" George asked.
Percy cleaned off his tear-stained glasses on the edge of his shield cloak while he answered George, "It's been coming on for awhile, but I had to find a way out and it's not so easy at the Ministry, they're imprisoning traitors all the time. I managed to make contact with Aberforth and he tipped me off ten minutes ago that Hogwarts was going to make a fight of it, so here I am."
"Well, we do look to our prefects to take a lead at times such as these." Percy snorted at George's rather spot on imitation of his most pompous voice. "Now let's get upstairs and fight, or all the good Death Eaters'll be taken." Percy laughed again and nodded. He, Fleur, Bill, and Fred followed George as he started up the stairs.
"So, you're my new sister-in-law now?" Percy asked Fleur. She nodded and shook hands with him.
Percy heard his Mum yelling at Ginny, but decided to continue on up the stairs. He wasn't going to get in the middle of any argument involving his Mum when he had just been welcomed back into the family. He knew he'd have time to ask Ginny to forgive him later.
Lee Jordan ran over to join their group. Punching Fred in the arm, he said, "Hey. Percy's here! We can finally settle our bet."
"That's right!" Fred replied. George rolled his eyes. Bill and Fleur looked confused, as Percy asked, "What bet?"
"Last July, did you come into our shop?"
Percy glanced at Bill whose eyebrows had risen drastically. Fred was eagerly awaiting his answer. Percy could feel himself blushing as he looked back at Fred, and stated simply, "Yes".
Fred whooped and jumped so high Percy was surprised he didn't fall down the stairs. "I knew it! That's 20 galleons you owe me, Twin!"
"Me, too!" Piped up Lee. Bill had starting laughing.
Before Percy could say anything, Fred said, "And were you snogging Audrey Mitchell in the middle of Diagon Alley?" Now Bill guffawed, and Percy could feel his blush deepening. He again answered simply, "Yes".
George snorted, "Snogging? They were practically shagging in the middle of the street!"
Percy retorted, "I was NOT practically shagging her in Diagon Alley!"
Arthur suddenly piped up from behind Percy at the bottom of the stairs, "Really? Who was it you were not shagging in Diagon Alley, Son?" Percy blushed even more furiously if that were possible.
Fred added, "So where were you shagging her, then?" Percy heard a chuckle from his dad, and his Mum's exasperated, "Fred!" only made Arthur chuckle more.
Molly hissed, "Don't encourage him, Arthur!" But Percy could see the twinkle in his Mum's eye and knew she was trying hard not to laugh herself. Percy couldn't believe he was thinking it, but he had even missed the twin's teasing.

Robin Keijzer
I'm Robin and I am currently working as an international freelance artist. Nice to meet you!
As you might have noticed, I make art for games, comics and illustrate for various other products. But this portfolio here is just a limited overview of my work. More recent updates can be found on my blog @ robinkeijzer.com.
// My background
After finishing both law school & art school, I started working in the games industry. The first 5 years I worked for a medium sized game company as concept artist and art director and managed over 30 artists. Here I've made artwork for various console games and have developed several game-concepts myself, like for example Fairytale Fights (ps3/xbox360) & PomPom Party (ps2). During this time I got very familiar with the production process of games, the needs of an art team and the expectations of 3rd parties like a publisher, outsource companies, press and the game's audience.
Shortly after finishing Fairytale Fights, I left the studio and started to develop my own projects. By now I have released various comics and I am currently working on 2 games.
Meanwhile I enjoy doing creative freelance work. If you like to work with me, feel free to contact me!

Two similar treatments of relaxing face and body massage using a blend of grape seed and essential oils. A combination of neuro-muscular massage, acupressure and essential oils helps to re-balance the nervous system and induce a sense of well-being to mind, body and emotions. Most of this treatment involves massage to the head, neck, shoulders and back to re-balance the nervous system and to the face to ensure maximum effect of the essential oils as they are inhaled more readily. Massage to the arms and legs with reflexology to the feet completes the experience.
Colour Aromatherapy
With colour aromatherapy, a more detailed consultation will be carried out to reveal your personal therapeutic blend of essential oils with their unique colour vibration. Aromatherapy may help muscular tension, headaches, insomnia and other many stress-related conditions.

Massage Acupressure & Essential Oils
The term "aromatherapy" usually refers to an holistic treatment which includes massage in the form of neuro-muscular techniques, acupressure and essential oils. This helps to rebalance the nervous system and induce a sense of well-being to mind, body and emotions.
Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular massage is a more precise massage of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue helping to release tight areas of tension. It may include the craniosacral system, joints and internal organs. Acupressure is the gentle pressure of the thumb or fingertip to specific points on the face and body. This encourages the natural flow of Chi or vital energy through invisible channels known as Meridians. Chi is also affected by our lifestyle, especially sleep, stress levels, relaxation, diet, hydration and exercise.
Essential Oils
Essential oils are the "essence" of the flower, herb, resin or fruit and can have an instant effect upon our mood when inhaled. The molecules of an essential oil travel via the nose to the olfactory bulb and limbic system of the brain. The limbic system is involved with our sense of smell, memory, appetite and behaviour. Therefore essential oils can have quite profound effects on the body, mind and emotions as the limbic system is directly related to those areas of the brain controlling stress levels, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and hormonal balance.
The term "aromatherapy" usually refers to an holistic treatment which includes massage in the form of neuro-muscular techniques, acupressure and essential oils. This helps to rebalance the nervous system and induce a sense of well-being to mind, body and emotions.
The Inner State of The Body
The skin reflects the inner state of the body and is affected by diet, exercise, sleep, stress, medication, emotions and health in general. All essential oils are antiseptic and help to protect the skin from bacteria and pollution. They are readily absorbed and have cell-regenerating properties, encouraging healthy and youthful skin. They have proven effects of uplifting, calming and balancing the mind and emotions. Each essential oil has specific effects depending upon its natural chemical components.
The vast range of essential oils are naturally made up of an array of vibrant colours. Colour and aroma are both forms of energetic healing and clearly indicate their properties. When knowledge of their properties is combined with awareness of colour, an even more accurate and effective blend is created.
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) uplifts the spirits due to its linalol (alcohol) content, acting as a tonic through its high percentage of limonene. It is useful during convalescence due to its restorative effects upon the nervous system. It can help with mood swings, especially when linked to the menstrual cycle or menopause as well as anxiety and depression. Bergamot has a green vibration connecting it to the heart chakra and is often used for grief and bereavement.
Rose (Rosa centifolia) is high in the alcohols geraniol and nerol and like bergamot, geranium and jasmine it reduces stress by strengthening the parasympathetic nervous system. It increases vitality and promotes a sense of well-being. The deep pink vibration of rose opens the heart to feel compassion and is often used as an anti-depressant and to enhance femininity for infertility.
Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) is high in refreshing esters and the monoterpene limonene. It is very beneficial in the treatment of insomnia, nervous tension and stress due to its calming and soothing effect. Mandarin has an orange/blue vibration and has a releasing affect on areas that feel stuck, being useful for the digestive and lymphatic systems.
