Much to her chagrin, Nyx remained bound for the remainder of their journey. The mood remained tense as the days passed. Nyx and Livia exchanged glares at every available opportunity. Cassandra, being the forgiving type, attempted to engage Nyx in friendly conversation however she maintained a certain wariness which hadn't been present prior to Nyx's attempt at murder. Nyx responded to her attempts at reconciliation with a series of half-hearted grunts not quite ready to forgive her sister for failing to take her side. Each time Cassandra appeared slightly more dejected but she kept trying none the less. Izzy was the only member of their party who did not appear at least somewhat agitated having reassumed her air of impassivity.
Izzy continued Cassandra's magic lessons every evening when they made camp. The muted yet increasingly frequent squeals of excitement which Cassandra emitted throughout the lessons indicated to Nyx she was finally mastering basic protection spells. However, the effects of said spells were not apparent to Nyx.
Livia had begun teaching Cassandra to use a sword insisting a hunted woman needed greater means to defend herself than just magic. The two were getting along sickeningly well which was proving highly detrimental to Nyx's plans to show Cassandra of how monstrous Livia truly was. Nyx watched Cassandra giggle in response to something Livia had said with a groan of disgust. Why did Livia have to be so nice to her? Not to say that Nyx wanted Livia to hurt her sister however one would think she could be at least be a little gruff with her, show her true colours on occasion, do something which would make Cassandra at least a little mistrustful of her. It was quite rude of her, really, to come between Cassandra and herself by being so… agreeable. It was difficult for anyone not to be kind to Cassandra though, Queen Cerise excluded of course. She was just so sweet, so naïve. She seemed to bring out almost everyone's protective instincts. Nyx continued watching her with a sigh. For the moment, as she spoke to Livia she looked happy. Nyx's refusal to engage with Cassandra was starting to take its toll. The expression which appeared on Cassandra's face with each rebuff resembled that of a kicked puppy. As angry as Nyx was at Cassandra's betrayal she was becoming increasingly angrier with herself.
It was late in the evening four days after the incident with the arrow when they finally reached the Dwarven Kingdom. Mountainous stone walls reaching towards the sky greeted them as they arrived at the gates. Nyx craned her neck to see the top of the walls. Sentries marched back and forth along the walls' summit maintaining vigilant watch over the forest beyond. The light of their torches shone down bathing the group in warm light.
"I wish to speak to King Horrik." Izzy shouted to the sentries nearest the gate. The group waited in silence as the sentries mumbled amongst themselves. At last a stout dwarf with a long orange beard peered down the wall at them.
"And who the bloody hell are you?" He barked his eyes squinted in suspicion.
"I am an old friend of your king." Izzy met his stare with a calm intensity. The dwarf took a step backwards and the mumbling recommenced.
Several minutes dragged by as the mumbling began more heated. Just as Nyx was beginning to suspect their journey had been for nothing the gate rumbled open. The orange bearded dwarf clambered down a set of stairs which were carved into the wall.
"I'm Malcolm" he held his hand out to Izzy who grasped it firmly.
"Isolyn" She indicated in response. Malcolm's eyes widened in recognition.
"I shall escort you to the king however if I find you have lied about the nature of your relationship with him I shall see you regret it. These walls are enchanted to suppress magic. Your sorcery will not help you here." Malcolm let go of Izzy's hand and started off down the cobbled path.
"Well, it's a good thing I'm telling you the truth then." Izzy headed after him and the rest of the group followed her lead.
They made their way through winding streets. Livia tugged Nyx along behind her by the rope which bound her wrists. Nyx took in her surroundings as they walked. The streets were lined with small stone houses. Lights flickered invitingly in the windows and Nyx shivered, the thought of a warm fire intensifying the chill of the crisp night air. They passed rows of shops and a tavern from which the sounds of lively music and boisterous chatter emanated. The streets were filled with the aroma of spiced meats wafting from the many food carts which lined their sides at random intervals. Many citizens paused to survey the unfamiliar travellers in a combination of confusion and curiosity.
Before long they reached the palace. The building was fashioned from exquisitely carved marble blocks. Gilded domes topped its many towers, sparkling in the light of sentry torches. Nyx momentarily contemplated her chances of getting away with climbing up and chipping some of it off. That was a lot of gold after all. She quickly dismissed the idea. The palace was crawling with sentries. Enormous doors swung open to greet them and Malcolm led then inside. It doors lead straight into the royal dining room. The walls were lined with roaring fires. Nyx sighed in contentment in response to the warmth. The room was filled with long tables. The tables were laden with meats, breads, and pitchers of ale. At each table sat twenty dwarves conversing cheerfully as they indulged in the offered food and drink. At the far end of the room was a table elevated upon a dais. At the head of that table sat a dark haired dwarf his head adorned with a golden crown. Izzy marched swiftly towards the dais. Malcolm matched her pace. She paused only once she stood before the king.
"King Horrik" Izzy bowed "you once told me you believed it would be to the benefit of your people were I to rule in place of my mother. My travel companions and I come to you today to request your assistance in achieving that end." Nyx stared at Izzy incredulously she had thought they were here to seek sanctuary. This was the first she had heard about an attempt to overthrow the queen. She groaned. All she had wanted was to rescue Cassandra. What had she got herself into?

Please note: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio will now be called "UT Health San Antonio."
Dr. Swati Banerjee uses the Drosophila model system to investigate the cellular and molecular bases of axonal ensheathment and synaptic development and function.
The cellular and molecular interactions between neurons and glial cells are vital for proper functioning of the nervous system across species. The ensheathment of axons, formation of axo-glial junctions, and maintenance of functional blood-brain and blood-nerve barriers are all centrally dependent on neuronal and glial cells. Using genetic, cell biological and biochemical approaches, Dr. Banerjee has identified proteins that are highly conserved in vertebrates and have fundamental roles in mediating neuron-glial interactions. Her studies on axonal ensheathment in Drosophila are relevant in elucidating the mechanisms that regulate vertebrate neuron-glial interactions and myelination.
Another area of her research involves understanding how trans-synaptic adhesion and signaling underlie synaptic growth and maintenance of proper synaptic cytoarchitecture, as these processes are critical for cognition and in shaping neural networks to process and refine information. Many neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders result from synaptic dysfunctions or abnormal neural connectivity. Dr. Banerjee's research aims at identifying the genes and genetic pathways that contribute toward the formation, stabilization, and maintenance of functional synapses that may provide insights into human neurological disorders resulting from synaptic dysfunction.

Wow! Her Smile! Every woman desires her smile to be captivating and quite an attention grabbing one.
Smile can be defined as one of our most attractive features, the confidence comes from our bright smile carrying our personality and building our image.
You can even brighten others day and life by your radiant smile too! Dental care is what you need to do.
Firstly to owe a great smile you should have a proper set of teeth, most importantly good white sparkling teeth, with a good gum and jaw line. You might be either born with this or you may build up this in due course of time. Keeping your teeth clean and cavity and bad breath free is your responsibility. This is all done by a good proper dental care.
Your smile can also be managed by the cosmetic dentistry in a way by dramatically changing the smile and improve the way the whole mouth feels. In this way you have an increased self-confidence and greater quality of life.
Many dental clinics and centers are dedicated to the provision of high quality dentistry in a caring and gentle way, dental care. Techniques including root canal, tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns and bridgework are employed to achieve outstanding results.
A good smile costs nothing but showers a happy moment in one's life. In spite of advanced technologies arriving day to day very few people are aware of the trends in Orthodontics which can brighten up their looks with that million dollar smile which makes it possible for you to face life and the world with confidence.
Irrespective of your age and profession and gender, it is very important that each one of us have that million dollar smile. What say? Now let us look as to what can be done to get this SMILE. Dental care needed for you is discussed below:
1. Dental Visit is a must and should for maintaining good oral health.
Don't fear or neglect these dental visits, as these dental procedures are no more painful as they were in olden days. Your dentist will use anesthetic sprays and injections to suppress pain. Let the dentist know very clearly about your problem. Before undergoing any procedure ask the dentist for a thorough detail.
2. Proper Brushing Techniques are very useful for all. Please keep in mind that a large number of dental problems are due to improper brushing resulting in damages to the enamel coating, accumulation of plaque, tartar formation and gum diseases, not giving proper attention towards dental care. Guide your children in brushing their teeth properly to avoid any complications
3. General tips to be followed by one and all are eat balanced food, that have minerals and vitamins, use a good tooth paste and tooth brush, avoid eating sweets or sticky food between meals, brush your teeth after every meal, visit your dentist once in 6 months.
Many children get protruding or misaligned teeth, be very careful and attentive in this regard. Let your child undergo orthodontic treatment if this problem exists, at an early age say 9yrs for better results.
Even a minor pain or swelling or any other problem should be immediately reported to dentist at any known dental care center. Remember to acquire that perfect smile and measures to be followed from childhood.

First time involve in a cooking challenge and all I can say is NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
The nerves is already on before the competition day and you can imagine how nervous am I.
I love to experiment food and of course, I love to eat! So I was actually excited to know I get to join the challenge.
I feel honored to be one of the 10 bloggers finalist to the battle ground paired up with the fitness instructors from fitness first to cook our own refine dish.
Thanks to Philips Malaysia that we were able to cook with Philips products during the challenge. The main product that we had tested out is The Philips Airfryer. The Airfryer can make nearly anything – and fast. From fried chicken to french fries to breakfast muffins, with less fat and more nutrition. The airfryer's ability to fry, roast, bake or grill makes it almost unbelievable: that is, until you've tried.
So our theme is healthy cooking but in order to spice up the challenge, we will only know our main ingredient and also our cooking partner after we draw lots. What a surprise to get this. Should I be happy or cry for this? 60minutes to prepare a cake, will it be a piece of cake or disaster?
so I did not take down the process because we were busy running here and there to get our cake ingredients and struggle with the time to get our cake done. I feel like working in Gordon Ramsay's kitchen. Gosh, so stressful man!!!! and the emcee kept telling us we left how many minutes and I almost fainted!
Sidney, Chef Zam & Marina Mustafa are testing out and judging our creation.
My first trial on tiramisu but lucky my partner knows how to make tiramisu.
(will share the recipe soon)
Part of the dishes in the cooking challenge. All prepared by Philips Airfryer
Congrats to my blogger friends that won the first and second place for this challenge. Good job!
me, Chef Zam, and my lovely partner EfiWe got consolation for our tiramisu and we got ourselves each a Kitchen Machine worth RM1099.
choiyen and me
Just like the caption on my tees, Sweet Dreams.
too tired on the cooking battle! But I enjoyed so much. Thanks Sidney for the invite!
I get motivated to practice and brush up more on my skill for the next battle!
I get motivated to practice and brush up more on my skill for the next battle!

This appendix describes the C-like preprocessor statements that can be used in LISA+ source code. It has the following sections:
As in C, the preprocessor is applied to the source code before the underlying LISA+ parser is seeing the source code. The preprocessor statements are not part of the formal LISA+ language, but can be seen as a layer on top of the LISA+ language.
Unlike C, however, the LISA+ preprocessor interacts with the actual LISA+ language constructs. Some preprocessor features, such as macro replacement and includes, are deliberately disabled in certain contexts to ensure that tools that read, modify and write LISA+ code work correctly. There are, therefore, subtle restrictions to using preprocessor statement in LISA+ code. These restrictions are described in this appendix.

Scott Beaumont sat on the start gate in Val Di Sole, Italy for his 25th World Championships.
It is an incredible history of racing and he was ready to go for gold again.
Here is the team's diary from the week.
Here is the qualifying film from the 2018 4X World Championships which were held in Val Di Sole, Italy.
Here is the teams diary from the week in Fort William at 4X ProTour round 3.
Celebrating Scott's 40th birthday on race day certainly created a lot of memories for the team.
Here is the raw diary:
The Malvern's Classic Mountain Bike Festival was one of my first mountain bike memories back in 1996. Transferring from BMX to MTB at that time, The Malvern's was perfect for me. Dual Slalom, Dual Descender and Quad Eliminator events were perfect for my BMX background. I ended up finishing on the podium in those events but moreover I remember the huge crowds. More people watching racing than I had ever seen. The atmosphere was electric and it was an awesome event. Unfortunately in the late 90's the event ended.
Fast forward 20 years and The Malvern's was back. Organised by former Downhill organiser Simon Paton, everything was thrown at this event to make it a success, and what a weekend it turned out to be.
I raced in the Dual Slalom and Downhill events on Friday and Sunday. Saturday was an interesting day for us as I gained a sister in law! Holly's sister organised her wedding on the Saturday and so we flew to Dublin, Ireland on Saturday morning and back on Sunday morning. It was a hectic weekend but one I won't forget!
We arrived on Thursday as Simon Paton had asked me to set up the dual slalom course. It was a true old school feel. A simple grass field and some gates. No jumps or berms. Just old school racing.
On Friday morning we had some practice as the crowds began to flood in to the venue. In the afternoon we had qualifying. It was not great for me as a slide and then hitting a pole lost me vital tenths of a second. I placed 9th but that didn't matter too much as I felt much quicker.
Onto the racing and slalom is a format where there are two riders racing head to head in the red and blue lanes. You do a run in each lane against your opponent and the combined times determine the winner.
In the first round I had a good couple of rides to transfer to round 2. This was a bit tougher as I was up against a fellow 4X rider who is really quick. I won the first round by 0.2 seconds. I knew in the second race I would have to really push it to win. I made a great start and pulled a good lead. Then the crowd let out a huge oooooooooo and the other rider had crashed. I was able to cruise to the finish and transfer.
In the third round I was up against former pro and mountain bike legend Dave Hemming. A cool moment for us both as we raced each other back in 1996. I was able to ride 2 good laps and continue my run.
Next up the quarter finals. I was against the fastest qualifier. I made a great start and took the lead. It was close all the way until I clipped a flag and it threw me completely off line. I lost a lot of time and ended the race 2 seconds behind him. In run two I had to throw everything I had at it to see where I would end up. Again I made a great start and pushed hard. I led the race from start to finish, but unfortunately, I could not pull back the difference. That was the end of my racing and 5th place for my efforts. It was a fun race and in front of a huge crowd it was a decent night.
As I then left for Dublin, my mechanic set up the team tent so that the crowds could look at my bikes during Saturday.
Flying back on Sunday morning it was straight back to the venue and time for some Downhill racing. I hadn't raced downhill in 10 years so was looking forward to a fun day.
After a few practice runs we moved onto seeding. With a good run I was very happy to place in 4th crossing the line. I then had enough time to check out the festival and catch up with a few of my sponsors who were in attendance. Then it was back up the hill for my race run. Carrying much more speed and getting more used to the lines, I rode a great lap and felt on it…..until the final corner. I drifted a little wide and had to tighten my line up which caused me to slide a little bit. I nearly crashed and lost a lot of speed. Crossing the line it was good enough for 4th – just 0.2 seconds off 2nd position. I would not have won but I am certain without this tiny mistake I would have finished 2nd. It didn't matter though. I had a great day and finished much better than I anticipated anyway.
The stand looked great all weekend and we spoke to a lot of fans about the products we are using for 2018.
Next up for the team is the 2018 4X World Championships in Val Di Sole, Italy on July 6th. We are training every day working towards our ultimate goal.
Last weekend, Scott had one of his most important races on the 2018 calendar. The 4X ProTour round in Fort William, Scotland. Held as part of the Fort William Downhill World Cup weekend, this event attracts thousands of fans who flock to the Scottish Highlands to watch 4X ProTour, Downhill World Cup and the impressive side events.
The race had a good entry, so when practice started the track had a constant flow of riders as everyone got to grips with it. The weather was wet, but in many ways, that helped the new track changes to bind together. The new changes were good as they added 2 extra turns to the track which would really help passing opportunities come race time.
Scott has had some great results here in the past and always rides his track well so we were confident heading into qualifying.
With most of the top riders injury free, this year's 4X ProTour looked set to be one of the best ever. With 10 of the elite men riders all more than capable of taking wins and the overall title, the strength in depth of 4X ProTour is now better than ever. Scott knows that consistency will be the key and was looking for a decent qualifying to set up his race night.
In his qualifying run, visually, Scott looked one of the quickest on course. He crossed the finish in 6th. Clearly gutted, Scott knew he was on a flier but he was a little cautious in the final turn and did not carry speed onto the last straight. It was time to forget it and to plan for the racing on Saturday night. After the run Scott said:
"I made a great start and rode all the lines well. I really messed up in the final turn and that cost me today but we will be back tomorrow".
Race Day:
Race day rolled around and the weather continued to stay dry, despite forecasts saying rain and storms. With huge crowds, Scott was ready. Winning his first round of racing Scott was looking good. In the second round he had a great battle and again moved through to the quarter finals. In his quarter final Scott made a great gate and led the race into turn 1. Ahead of Quentin Derbier, Scott looked comfortable until he nearly crashed in the 2nd turn. Losing all his speed Scott went back to 3rd and unfortunately could not make the ground back. He was out of the race and would end up with 9th overall for the night.
It wasn't Scott's best race in Fort William, but he was very happy with the way he raced on the night:
"I am pretty disappointed with 9th but at the same time happy with how I rode. Just a simple slip in the wrong place cost me dearly tonight. That was a race where anyone could have won but I gave it my all and 9th was the result. We have a few weeks now to prepare for the next round in Czech Republic".
The next round of 4X ProTour is on Saturday 14th July. However before then we have the Malvern's Festival, Round 4 of British 4X Series and the small matter of the 2018 4X World Championships in Val Di Sole, Italy. A huge month coming up. Stay tuned for all the news.
Here is the track preview for round 3 of the 2018 4X ProTour being held in Fort William, Scotland.
Scott Beaumont takes us for a lap of this iconic track:
Round 2 o the 2018 4X ProTour was held in the beautiful town of Szczawno Zdroj in Poland. A track that Scott loves and has had a lot of success at in the past.
Here is the team diary from the week.
Scott Beaumont
Qualifying – 5th
Race – 5th
Round 2 of the 2018 4X ProTour was held in a town called Szczawno Zdroj (pronounced Sch-av-no Stroy) in Poland.
The track in Szczawno Zdroj is in south west Poland is widely regarded as one of the finest 4X tracks in the world. In the heart of the city, it is the pride of the town, lined by hedgerows and trees. At around 40 seconds long, there is a mix of high and low speed, technical and huge jumps. There is something to suit all the riders and the racing is always amazing. Scott arrived on Wednesday as the team stayed out in Europe after round 1 in Winterberg the previous week. The immaculately prepared track looked perfect.
Scott did some light practice on Wednesday as the weather forecast predicted rain on Thursday. Immediately you could tell this was one of Scott's favourite tracks. He was flowing well and jumping all the big doubles immediately.
Saturday morning rolled around and the race day schedule began with practice. Knowing just how physical this track is, Scott worked to a plan and restricted his practice to just 40 minutes to save vital energy for the racing.
After practice there was a small break for the riders meeting and then it was time for qualifying. The most exciting but nerve wrecking time in 4X. Riders get just one lap of qualifying. Any mistakes and it is time to head home.
Scott was one of the last riders to qualify. His start was on point and he laid down a great run. Missing a gear change point he may have lost 0.1 or 0.2 seconds but aside from that it was a perfect run. Crossing the finish line it would place Scott 5th.
On to the racing. Scott won his early rounds and looked comfortable out on the track. In the quarter final he again made a great start and won the race start to finish.
In his semi final, Scott took gate 3, Tomas Slavik in 1, Mikulas Nevrka in 2 and Simon Waldburger in 4. and Scott made a great start and led the race on the first straight. Slavik got a good drive though into the first turn and took the lead back. Scott sat in 2nd all the way to the last corner and looked like he was on for a spot in the final but Nevrka got an amazing drive off the last turn and on the drag race Nevrka got the advantage. Annoyed at letting the final slip through his fingers, Scott headed back up the track to contest the small final and race for the final podium position.
The gate dropped and Scott got away well. It was tight but he dived inside on the first turn and grabbed the lead. He pulled away through the mid section of the track before making a small mistake on the penultimate straight allowing Waldburger to close in on him. It was another drag race down the last straight but Scott powered to the win and 5th place for the evening.
It was straight to the podium for the awards ceremony and then the long drive back home. It is now just 2 weeks until Scott's home race in Fort William. The team are focused and looking for a great result there.
See you all trackside.

I've never seen that siding used before and it looks like a new transload customer. Inside the warehouse it looked like stacks of 40lb bags. I couldn't get a closer look without trespassing.
On the south side of the same area, a new siding was put in about 2 years ago and is regularly used for boxcars.
So it seems there is growing business in the RV line near Manville. I don't think there's much beyond "Fisher Scientific" in Branchburg to the West, or much to the East, but if anyone knows, please post it here.
On Youtube, there are some videos of the MA-20 local serving this area through Bound Brook late at night.
ccutler wrote:A little update with a photo. Now the new warehouse siding on the south side and the old warehouse siding on the north side are both receiving box cars. It is hard to tell on the photo---just an android picture from the Finderne Ave bridge--but there are 2 boxcars on each side, along with the battalion of covered hoppers that warehouse plastic feedstock.
I wish the rest of the RV line were so busy with freight.
ccutler wrote:South side is the left on the photo, and yes, looking toward that water tower. The aerial view you see is the preparation for installing the siding. I don't think there was a siding there before, but I'm not 100% sure.
Jtgshu wrote:In the timetable its listed at Damiano Trucking (I think I spelled it wrong) but they are a transload facility. There is almost always a tractor trailer there unloading some product out of the Covered Hoppers. The Covered Hoppers parked in Bound Brook are also for there, stored as overflow out there. They get drilled just about nightly.

It's now May which means that I need to update this series. It really is hard to believe we are in sunshine days with spring storms popping up all over verses winter darker months. I'm happy for the sunshine no doubt! Total mood enhancer! 🙂
There have been some changes since January, I started a new job in the industry I used to work for many years in. So that means adjustments to workout times, eating and some mental stress.
When April rolled around I found the 11,000 steps was putting more mental stress on me than I expected. The feeling of failure was outweighing the motivation mindset, so I made a decision. I decided to reduce my daily goal to 10,500 steps. It has been quite helpful and there are several days in the month I have more like 11,000 plus or even 12,000 steps. I am considering changing to a weekly total verses a daily goal. I think this might be beneficial to me, but I will need to keep that rolling total in front of me. That is where my Garmin app will come in quite handy! 🙂
Since January I have lost 3.6 pounds with no real change in inches. I am under 200 which is what I really wanted to get to and remain away from it. Although I am not far from that number I still feel proud of the loss in weight I have had. As of today I have lost a total of 16 pounds since January 2017.
I started strong in January with workouts and logging my food, that is where I lost most of that weight loss. Even though I may not have eaten the best or stayed in my carb range, it was still beneficial to me. I can see that now that I have strayed from that routine. I also learned that drinking lots of water, especially before I get my coffee in the morning is a huge benefit!
Most of that blog post was written before May 6, 2018. At which point I found myself with an injured foot that kept me from walking my normal routine and some depression setting in. I am seeking care for my foot and my hip. I have rested the foot for a week or more. It is better but still not good enough to walk the way I was. Honestly my eating sucked during this period, but I am trying now to rectify that. My blood sugar numbers are still pretty good and my app says my AC1 should be in the range of 5.9. I still struggle with the number I have after my evening meal. There are other exercises I could be doing (strength training and bike riding) but I did not because the depression won out. I am taking it one day at a time.
I want to be sure to be honest here so I wanted to be sure to share that last paragraph. Sometimes the bad wins out. It's whether we allow ourselves to stay there that is the real problem. I'm working my way out on my terms. But know that I am a strong woman and can get back on track! I have very good reasons to. A 10 year old daughter at home, adult children that still need me, and some pretty super grandkids to name a few!
As of today, my foot has improved even more which makes me happy! Come June 1st I hope to be back at my working out as I like to be! I did jump on my bike a couple times this week! (May 21st)
Until next time!

I busticated my dinner plates
by Khrys August 25, 2005
Is the breaking of an object, which leads to it not being able to be repaired or of any use any longer.
I busticated my glass, now there is no use for it. I may as well throw it away.
by BUSTED-OH NO February 08, 2011
Hmm, that board with the melted plastic all over it is likely busticated. Probably shouldn't have opened that bag of iron filings.

When we are born, it's all about us; our needs, our comfort, our sleep. Human babies have needs and they usually have their needs met by screaming their heads off, when they're not met. Most people know this and I have mentioned it in past posts.
As we grow, one of the various roles of our parents is to teach us empathy. Empathy is defined as the feeling that you understand and share another person's experiences and emotions. I have taken the time to include the definition because many people behave as if they have no idea what this word is, what it means or how it is shown…. But I digress.
As we get older, we should learn that our own individual wants and needs are not all that matters in the world. We are not the center of the universe and all does not revolve around us. This is how you can learn to show love for you parents and family, and feel sadness for their ills and misfortunes. This, in turn, leads you to be able to comfort those around you. These emotions can then extend to people outside your social and familial circle, allowing you to feel the pain of strangers in your own city, your own country and even abroad.
These feelings of empathy can lead one to charity work, wanting to help the disabled, the less fortunate, the sick and the destitute. It could lead to participation in professions that aid others; doctors, nurses, teachers.
Empathy can lead other to give money out of their pocket, or food out of their kitchen, because sometimes money and food can run out just days before the next pay day. And rather than let another go hungry, people will give of themselves. Empathy allows you to identify with the misfortune of others, whether physical, mental, emotional or financial, because you understand that just a single flip of the cosmic coin and you might find yourself in the same position.
Unfortunately, empathy in our society is on the decline, a sharp and fast decline. It is rapidly being replaced by entitlement. Entitlement has a couple of definitions, but the one that I am focusing on is, the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. There is a growing number of people in our society, who identifies with this definition. It is deeply associated with instant gratification. As children, we have no real sense of time. A child asks for a treat and mom says, in 20 minutes. Two minutes pass, and the child asks for it again. The child is reminded that 20 minutes hasn't passed and they need to wait. Five more minutes pass and the child asks again. Having no sense of time, they don't understand having to wait. The patience of waiting comes over time with proper instruction.
The problem is that teenagers and adults that are well past this stage of development, exhibit the same behavior. Not because they have no sense of time, but because they want what they want, when they want it and feel that they should not have to wait for anything, just because they're them. They think that they are better or special. They think that their plights, problems and desires come ahead of everyone else's. This sense of entitlement leads to a complete and total lack of empathy. They don't know what it's like to be sick without insurance, so the idea of needing public assistance for medical care is ludicrous. It's costing them. They have never been disabled or associated with anyone with disabilities, so they don't care for programs to help them. They've never been persecuted because of their race, sex or age, so they go so far as to believe that these things never happen, just because it has never happened to them.
Apathy is the bedfellow of entitlement and it is eating away at the conscience of society. It is a bigger problem than racism, classism, sexism, terrorism and money in the political system. It is a bigger problem, because if people don't give a damn about other people, they are liable to do anything to them without remorse. We see it all the time. A kid gets drunk, gets in a car and runs over people on the side of the road, killing them. He gets house arrest and even after a light sentence, he breaks his probation and tries to flee the country. His life is more important than the lives he took. A police officer pepper sprays peaceful protesters and ends up suing for emotional trauma. The supposed Democratic Party sabotages the campaign of one of their own; one who cared for the rights of all people, rich, working and poor, in favor of someone who has the interests of those who already have enough over those who barely have anything.
Empathy has always been a rather ethereal, wispy concept, sometimes slipping right through the fingers, but from time to time in the history of our country, we, as a society, have been able to grip it firmly and lift each other up; but it was never easy. It took hard work and sacrifice, pain and death. But now, empathy can't even be seen floating on the winds. More often than not, we are every man for themselves and to hell with the rest.
What can we do?
Well, we could just be better, but that takes effort that the apathetic and entitled don't want to exert. So, it's up to us who give a damn, to be mindful and vigilant and take every opportunity to inspire a change in our world; one conversation, one phone call, one post; one vote at a time. Taking these strides may change things from the smallest interaction between you and a co-worker to the world stage which governs our society. Close your eyes and for once, picture yourself in someone else's shoes. Train yourself, as we should train our children; like we used to train our children, to be patient, understanding and kind. Bullying children turn into bullying adults; but adults can choose to be better, they just have to want it be better.

350 grams of pasta (such as penne, fusilli, or bowties)
4 or 5 medium-large round tomatoes
1 or 2 garlic cloves
1 small fresh red chili pepper
1 large buffalo mozzarella (about 300 grams/10-11 ounces)
fresh basil
dried oregano
olive oil
Make the salad while the pasta water boils. Chop the tomato into cubes and place the pieces in a colander (one with fairly large holes, not the fine mesh type). Dust the tomato pieces generously with salt, gently toss to get all the pieces covered, and let rest for 15 minutes (on a plate or over the sink, since liquid will be draining out from the tomato). Meanwhile, mince the garlic and chili pepper and cut the mozzarella into chunks roughly the size of the tomato cubes. Roughly chop 4 or 5 basil leaves.
Shake the tomatoes over the sink (while still in the colander) so that all the liquid expressed from the salting and most of the seeds drain through. Place the tomato, mozzarella, garlic, pepper, and basil in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and stir well. Cook the pasta al dente and when drained and slightly cooled add to the bowl of salad. Toss well and serve with a sprinkling of dried oregano and (optional) grated Parmesan cheese. Can also be served chilled, like a pasta salad.

Molecular Mechanisms for the Evolution of DNA Specificity in a Transcription Factor Family

McKeown, Alesia
Transcription factors (TFs) bind to specific DNA sequences near target genes to precisely coordinate their regulation. Despite the central role of transcription factors in development and homeostasis, the mechanisms by which TFs have evolved to bind and regulate distinct DNA sequences are poorly understood. This dissertation details the highly collaborative work to determine the genetic, biochemical and biophysical mechanisms by which distinct DNA-binding specificities evolved in the steroid receptor (SR) family of transcription factors. Using ancestral protein reconstruction, we resurrected and functionally characterized the historical transition in DNA-binding specificity between ancient SR proteins. We found that DNA-binding specificity evolved by changes in the energetic components of binding; interactions at the protein-DNA interface were weakened while inter-protein cooperativity was greatly improved. We identified a group of fourteen historical substitutions that were sufficient to recapitulate the derived protein's binding function. Three of these substitutions, which we defined as function-switching, were sufficient to change DNA specificity; however, their introduction greatly decreased binding affinity and was deleterious for protein function. A group of eleven permissive substitutions, which had no effect on DNA specificity, allowed for the protein to tolerate the deleterious effects of the function-switching substitutions. They non-specifically increased binding affinity by improving interactions at the protein-DNA interface and increasing inter-protein cooperativity. We then dissected the functional role of individual substitutions in both the function-switching and permissive groups. We first determined the binding affinity of all possible combinations of function-switching substitutions for a library of DNA sequences. This allowed for us to functionally characterize the sequence space that separated the ancestral and derived DNA-binding specificities as well as identify the genetic determinants for DNA specificity. Lastly, we dissected the effects of the permissive substitutions on the energetics of DNA binding to determine the mechanisms by which they exerted their permissive effect. Together, this work provides insight into the molecular determinants of DNA specificity and identifies the molecular mechanisms by which these interactions changed during the evolution of novel specificity in an important transcription factor family. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

Comfort and comfort mixed. Produces on the spot heat when needed. Select a heater with ventilation fan and/or mild with evening light.
Technically, most mirrors are hung on the wall. However, suspending the mirror from a visible rope or wire is a inventive means so as to add an element of interest. You can select from a wide range of supplies to hold the mirror, reminiscent of thick rope to provide a nautical theme or wire for a more fashionable, industrial vibe — simply make certain it is secure. Or, stack bins to use up each inch of your cabinet's height '" and save space for organizers hanging on the backs of the doors.

I like the little effect too added by the pumpkin ghost face beside the door. For toilet cabinet ideas, look no additional than this elegant design. Opt for tall cabinets to separate up a Jack and Jill sink.
Some greatest lavatory exhaust fans have an choice for a lower-wattage evening gentle setting. This will illuminate the toilet dimly at evening, preventing you from strolling right into a darkish bathroom and serving to you to search out your means, whereas at the same time using minimal vitality. Or, install shelves with inverted brackets for a candy look that also helps wrangle free items, like a pile of towels.
The furnishings and color mixture of this rest room is likewise an necessary facet to contemplate while putting in a vanity mirror. In specific, the colour of the toilet plays an important part right here and subsequently, we want to commit numerous consideration whilst selecting the right colour scheme. A motif lavatory is also a improbable idea. Judicious use of distance and deciding upon the appropriate kind of bathroom vanities are a few ways of making the easiest of every part you've got. While selecting a mirror, you could all the time consider the restroom layout first. By doing this, one can choose on any beautiful mirror of his pick, and supply the restroom a charming, too, as spacious look.

App Inventor Limitations
Sep 2010
App Inventor is a new product from Google that allows anyone to build their own Android apps with minimal effort, and almost no programming knowledge. It's fantastically quick and easy to get up and running and you can have your own apps built into APKs and running in no time. There are loads of impressive controls that let you access many of your Android phone's functions. But this page is a brief discussion of the limitations of App Inventor when it comes to building apps that can actually be used and deployed.
Is it viable to use App Inventor for building your own apps?
Not really, no. Currently, App Inventor is in beta and is rather buggy, and the tools you have to work with are so limiting it's barely possible to build an app of any use at all. Add to this the fact that you can't currently deploy your apps in the Android Market, and App Inventor seems nothing more than a learning tool. But that's all it claims to be. At first you notice how impressive the IDE looks, with all its useful looking controls, but as soon as you start to try to actually use them you will find that with its current limitations, App Inventor is all but useless for actually building any apps that can be used.
- No local variables. All variables are global and unique. If you're a programmer, you'll know what a disaster this is
- The Blocks Editor (where you do the "programming") is pretty buggy in its current form, but I'd expect this to improve before long
- APK packages when built come out huge. 3+ Mb for a "Hello World" app shows you how bloated the APKs are
- Programs of any complexity execute very slowly
- You cannot change the app's icon. (Not without manually editing the APK and re-signing it)
- Currently your apps can only have one "screen". You can get around this by showing and hiding screen layout controls, but this makes the problem of all variables being global even worse.
- Big arrangements of blocks (routines) can quickly become larger than the Blocks Editor's visible area so you have to keep un-snapping blocks to be able to see the bottom of them
- Once you app has more than a few blocks it just become a confusing mess and they start to overlap each other. If you "Organize All Blocks" everything is tidied up but then you then can't find anything
- There is currently no way of accessing files on the SD card or elsewhere in Android's file system
- Bigger projects cause the blocks editor to become very slow
These are just a few of the major limitations I've come across when trying out App Inventor for myself. It's a shame. While the visual way that App Inventor works is so simple and elegant, it doesn't lend itself to building anything more than educational apps. For now, it's absolutely no substitute for the proper Android SDK when it comes to building or deploying usable apps. I hope it progresses soon so that it can be used to build usable apps.

From LURKMORE wikiJump to navigationJump to search
Anime series about an 18-year-old (or so) young man named Kippei who has to take care of his abandoned young female cousin, Yuzuyu. There are several memes from this show. The first shows Yuzuyu eating corn and saying I like corm (not to be confused with the actual vegetable called sometimes called a corm). The other is Yuzuyu holding up her fists with her cheeks puffed out. Yuzu in the act of slapping someone is also featured on a famous NIGGA PLEASE macro, her angry face making her look as if she's waving dismissively.
Perhaps due to her realistic personality, Yuzu inexplicably inspired strong protective tendencies on 4chan to the point suggestive humor about her (even on the old /lolicon/ board) was severely frowned upon.

Fr Richard
I have felt at home here since my very first visit about ten years ago when I was a seminarian and I came to visit my friend, John McKenna, who was spending his pastoral year here and who was later ordained priest here at Our Lady of Fatima in 2006. I was immediately struck, as so many people are, by how welcoming and warm the community is here. It reminds me so much of the parish where I lived for 10 years in Poland and where I was received into the Church at the grand old age of 28. I was born in Edinburgh and then moved down to England with my loving family, but as I grew up I was never involved in any faith community. It was only when I went to Poland in 1989, just when everything was changing after the fall of Communism, that I had my first contact with the Catholic Church. I taught English in schools, offices, colleges and people's homes and came to understand very quickly how much their faith meant to people. It gave their lives a meaning and a centre which I knew I didn't have. God led me to a friendly and vibrant local parish community, much like our Lady of Fatima, where everyone helped me, step by step, to come to know and love God and his Church. There is that wonderful African saying that it takes a whole village to raise a child - well, it took a whole parish to bring me to faith! Pope (now Saint) John Paul II visited his homeland every couple of years and inspired me with his extraordinary faith and courage.
Those ten years in Poland changed the whole direction of my life and led me back to England in 2001 to join Allen Hall seminary to train for the priesthood – something I could never have imagined myself doing when I was younger! I loved my time at seminary and was able to experience being a Catholic in my own country for the first time. I had never imagined myself living in London when I was younger – it all seemed too big and fast for me – but I came to understand that London is made up of many smaller communities and that these are full of people many of whom, like myself, don't come from here but who have now made London their home. I think I can now say wholeheartedly that I love London!
I was ordained in 2007 and was sent to the wonderful parish of Our Lady and St Joseph in Hanwell, where I was blessed to serve as part of a great parish team under the leadership of Fr Bernard Scholes. I love parish life with all of the extraordinary things of ordinary daily life. As in Poland, I was blessed with a wonderful parish community who helped me to grow and to grow with them. In 2009 I was asked by Cardinal Vincent to become the Vocations Director for Westminster diocese, which is a huge honour. Although this meant that I had to leave Hanwell to be able to concentrate on this new role, I had a very strong sense that this was what God was calling me to do. Just as so many different people have helped me to grow in my faith and discover God's plan for my life, so now I am given this very humbling honour to help others on their journey of seeking how to become deeper disciples of Jesus Christ. I journey with men and women, one to one, in prayer groups and retreat days, helping them to hear God's voice in their lives and then to respond to His calling. I have a particular responsibility to guide those men in our diocese who sense that God may be calling them to the priesthood.
In April 2013, I was asked if I could come to help out at Our Lady of Fatima for a few weeks after Fr Keith Stoakes, who had been parish priest here for 12 years, was moved to Poplar in the East End (the parish where he himself was baptised, confirmed and eventually ordained as priest!). I think I knew after the first weekend that I wanted to stay! And so it was a huge joy when Cardinal Vincent officially asked me to become the parish priest at Our Lady of Fatima. I almost kissed him!
I give thanks to God every day for this opportunity to serve in this great parish. I am humbled by the faith, kindness and great love of the Lord of our parishioners. We are also blessed with a truly wonderful primary school – Pope John School – which brings so much life to our parish community. Together we really are at the heart of the White City.
2015 is our Parish Jubilee Year – 60 years of the parish and 50 years of the current church building. It is an opportunity to celebrate the journey travelled, and also to look forward to new chapters in the life of the parish. The community around is changing is so many ways, just like so many areas in London, and we need to be open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to see how we are to continue to be vibrant and faithful witnesses to Christ to the world of White City and beyond. I look forward to walking this path together as we seek to grow in our relationship with each other and with God , so that we may "know Him more clearly, love Him more dearly and follow Him more nearly."
Fr Ephrem was born in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to a family originally from Eritrea. In Ethiopia only about one percent of the population are Catholic, the predominant religions being the Orthodox church and Islam. Raised in a Catholic family he was particularly influenced by his mothers devotion and faith. The children were always expected to go to mass, they were able to decide which of the services they would attend but it was expected that they would definitely go!
During his teenage years Fr Ephrem always attended church, but any boyhood ideas of the priesthood had disappeared as he felt unable to face all the challenges. One of the most formative times of his life was when he was at university studying accountancy. At the cathedral there was a Youth Group which proved not only to have a powerful influence on his own life but on five other young men, who all who all went on to join the priesthood. In fact the practice of the Youth association became the pattern for all parishes in the diocese. The association held many beautiful celebrations and special youth masses. Father Ephrem belonged to the choir which frequently practised together not only singing but praying and studying scripture.
Gradually Fr Ephrem found that he was spending more and more time working for the church. He used to ensure that all of his studying was completed on a Friday evening so that he was free during the weekend. Saturday was spent with the choir, not only practising the music, but spending time sharing faith together, reading the bible and praying. Saturday evening was reserved for the Sacrament of Reconciliation which was celebrated on a weekly basis. On Sunday morning the youth would gather early before the mass started at ten o'clock. As many people would not have eaten for some time before mass afterwards it was back to the hall for tea and bread and the Youth meeting, sometimes with guest speakers. The different committees would speak about what they had achieved during the week. Afterwards if there was anyone in the community in need of help they would be visited.
It was a very powerful ministry, touching and transforming people's lives, all of the youth looked forward to spending this very beautiful time together. Fr Ephrem feels that it was that involvement that prepared him for the priesthood. From his group of fourteen close friends came four priests. In total there are six men from the youth group who became priests and one religious sister who has taken her final vows.
It was during a retreat organised by the group that Fr Ephrem really a major conversion of heart, a calling to a life more deeply devoted to prayer. The retreat was in the form of a Life in the Spirit seminar and the group returned transformed by their experience. Suddenly they were not satisfied with anything they were doing. The group felt a particular devotion to spending time together in prayer and reading the Gospel. Upon his return Fr Ephrem slowly resumed his way of life.
Sometime after this, whilst playing football Fr Ephrem fell and fractured his leg very severely. This entailed a months stay in hospital and a further five months at home. He really missed the services and hid life, but also realised that he had spent a great deal of time rushing everywhere, to university, to the youth group and to the church. He was forced now to be still. There was little to do except read, and he did so with an open heart. He read two books that particularly touched him; 'Youth with a Mission', a book about people who were missionaries and one about St Francis of Assisi. Both of these books faced him with a direct challenge, 'What am I doing here?' He decided at that time that the priesthood was for him. He had not yet graduated but decided that when he had and was well and free of the crutches that he would join a religious community.

Profit First: Intro
A Simple System To Transform Any Business From A Cash-Eating Monster To A Money-Making Machine
The author poses the following questions:
What if, rather than you serving your business, your business served you?
What if you could turn a profit from your very next deposit?
And what if you had the power to guarantee that profitability?
Mike Michalowicz details the cash management system that will ensure any business – of any size, in any industry, no matter how much debt it carries or how many years it has been operating—will become permanently profitable.
Michalowicz reveals why the traditional accounting formula of Sales – Expenses = Profit is not just counter-intuitive to human behavior, but a myth that locks you into a never-ending cycle of selling more yet profiting less.
In Profit First, Michalowicz explains how this age-old accounting formula turns great businesses into cash-eating monsters, trapping you in a day-to-day, check-to-check struggle to survive. He reveals how to flip that "Frankenstein Formula" and take profit first without compromising your business, and why the Profit First Formula of Sales – Profit = Expenses actually forces innovation, supports sustained growth and skyrockets profits. You are about to discover the step-by-step Profit First system that shows you how to radically change the financial health of your business…from your very next deposit.

Flag carrier Air China has cut its fuel costs by almost $2m in less than six months using a new flight management system.
The carrier is trialling a software system that enables pilots to be constantly updated with weather information.
The Wind Uplink system has been developed by air transport IT company SITA and enables the crew to adjust an aircraft's flight path in-flight according to changing wind and weather conditions.
Air China's senior manager of operation technology Lu Yun-Guo, confirmed: "We started trailing Wind Uplink in early 2013 and we have already significantly lowered our fuel bills. In just six months, we have saved close to $2m, and that was with implementation across only part of our fleet."

For the organization of the HVTT15, four public organizations joined forces: Rijkswaterstaat, the Han University of Applied Sciences, the RDW and the Municipality of Rotterdam.
Loes Aarts General Chair of the Organizing Committee, vice-president Europe for the IFRTT and senior advisor of Rijkswaterstaat. She is jointly responsible for the Rijkswaterstaat strategic agenda on transport and logistics. Engaged in the field of infrastructure and road freight transport, weights and dimensions of commercial vehicles and tests with automated and cooperative vehicles. She chairs the OECD Working Group Policies to extend the Life of Road Assets. In the past Loes has been project manager for research projects on trials with high capacity vehicles in The Netherlands.
Rijkswaterstaat is responsible for the design, construction, management and maintenance of the main infrastructure facilities in the Netherlands. This includes the main road network, the main waterway network and water systems.
'The design of trucks is a constant debate between the laws of nature and economic and social needs; the friction between trucks and the environment in which they operate a frequent subject for discussion. The HVTT15 offers a platform for all stakeholders involved and beyond to share views, unexpected, maybe disturbing. Cause these are exiting times in which everything seems to move. To keep the debate anchored: the truck is the starting point, but the whole transport system is the scope. We invite you! Feel welcome.'
HAN University of Applied Sciences
Joop Pauwelussen Scientific chair of the Organizing Committee and IFRTT Board Member. After 11 years of research as full-time professor in Mobility Technology, he was appointed in 2014 as director of the Automotive Institute of the HAN University of Applied Sciences. From September 2017, he returns to research, joining the HAN Automotive Research team as an associated professor, specialized in vehicle dynamics and control, heavy vehicle technology and vehicle-driver interaction.
HAN Automotive Institute is part of the HAN Faculty of Engineering and offers degree courses and programs for professionals at both Bachelors and Masters levels. HAN Automotive Research carries out applied research on smart and clean vehicles.
'Multidisciplinary knowledge exchange and understanding each other language is essential to realize sustainable, efficient and safe heavy goods transport. That means bringing enthusiastic people together, to share their passion, and that is exactly what the HVTT15 symposium from 2 – 5 October 2018 in Rotterdam will do. Don't' miss it.'
Bert de Rooij is Manager Exemptions Exceptional Transport at RDW. Together with his RDW colleagues he contributes to road safety, traffic flow, sustainable infrastructure and economic benefits of exceptional transport. Yearly 30.000 exemptions are submitted in the Netherlands. An important part of all exceptional transports goes from Rotterdam to other European countries. In close cooperation with road owners we offer a network for heavy transports for indivisible loads. By using state of the art technologies we adapt to a fast moving environment and contribute to a positive exceptional image.
RDW is the Netherlands Vehicle Authority in the mobility chain. RDW has developed extensive expertise through its years of experience in executing its statutory and assigned tasks. Tasks in the area of the licensing of vehicles and vehicle parts, supervision and enforcement, registration, information provision and issuing documents.
'Exceptional vehicles and cargo are the basis of our worldwide economy. Large and heavy transports are often not noticed in daily traffic. I see this as a compliment for us all and my modest contribution for supplying routes for exceptional transports. The interaction between the vehicle, the roads, infrastructure, and the environment is exciting and developing very fast. I am very eager to learn from your experiences and visions of the future and to share mine We are going to ensure that the HVTT15 is going to be an exceptional experience for you, put it in your agenda!'
Richard van der Wulp is Urban planner at the Municipality of Rotterdam. He coordinates the policy of urban transportation of goods, and also on international traffic related subjects. He works on the policy and actions for Rotterdam to become the best innovative port of the world, and have the cleanest urban city logistics. Rotterdam is at the moment one of the leading cities in zero emission city logistics. At the Erasmus university of Rotterdam Richard has graduated with a Master of Science degree in Economics.
Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands, in South Holland within the Rhine–Meuse–Schelde river delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270 when a dam was constructed in the river Rotte by people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland. A major logistic and economic centre, Rotterdam is Europe's largest port and has a population of 633,471 (2017), the second-largest in the Netherlands, just behind Amsterdam. Rotterdam is enclosed region, with about 1.2 million inhabitants.
'The HVVT15 is not just your average conference about goods transportation. It has that extra touch of discussing our involvement in the social problems in an highly interactive setting. People from all kinds of organizations and all around the world will be there. See you too in Rotterdam!'
