My neigbours' throats are very red at night, it's something I like to look at
From the street we would see them glitter like vipers;
Our prey is there behind the window, a gold leaf on the edge of the roof
Believe me there is nothing really worth dying for behind those veils
Someone went missing after dinner
My brothers made a pile of birds on the table;
We painted our fingertips with lipstick before going to bed
And dreamt we were licking a ball of blue light
Take that with you and go chase the sun he said
And poured mud in our ears;
Now we take the indian knife and slice the guinea pig until it shines like a rainbow
Or something like that
Our father is a raven, he has raven's memories
Under our nails the guinea pig's breath;
We would dance on the roof with red pearls in our mouths
Our veins were wrapped around versicolored ribbons
And ran on the walls like water spiders
Then again mother was baking a honeypie, singing
I want to sit here and watch the pile of birds
The pile of birds
(We did not hang ourselves to the beams of the sun)
It was a tuesday morning
Shirley sat at the end of the table where our father used to sit,
I don't believe in the solar system anymore
(He danced upon my face, he wasn't salomon at all)
It was at that moment one of us came to sit on top of the bird pile on the table;
I ran to the lake with my knees uselessly wet
People with torn eyes mostly walk around at night
Shirley spat rain under my skirt;
We could make a real ceremony, with empty glasses and golden knives
Shirley laughed and said he drank the lemonade blood
Our father hid himself behind the violet bushes;
Dancing on the roof with mud on our faces
We were scared of opening our palms
Scared of discovering what we were hiding in our hands
Then I let the guinea pig devour my face.
Licking blue flies wings on the road to Pomona
I remember the smiling indians surrounding us as we fell asleep
We will drink the milk that overflows your bones, the promice of a nascent bulb,
An eclipse of the moon can be seen by anyone;
We keep on collecting ashes on the way home, our bicyles are wet and we are in September
Hell said Helen is a word I often mispell;
Red silhouettes on the roof our mother took the drill,
We hem our eyelids with gum tree leaves
And tie frosty lightbugs in our hair
I have hit him, yes it's true
My hands dropped the tree
In my mouth the breath of the holy sheep;
Then drinking watercolours under the old locomotive,
The sun can be sperm sometimes
I saw shimmering foxes that looked like melancholic kids
And kneeled before them, and sung in the hands of God
With fox's teeth piercing a crown on my forehead;
A girl sat next to me on the grass and touched my arm with two blue fingers
She pinches my nose
And tells me we are two animals from the milky way
Hongrian mother beats her child to death with a jellyfish, in a dim light
She pinches my nose
And the noise in the sky reminds me of Joan of Arc;
Then rubbing her ginger skin with fresh tomatoes,
My brother watched me do so
Drinking sirup from an unknown fruit
He said this is the blood of all the galaxies we know
Who are you kids? we are all daughters of the King
They circled the names on the wall
They will wear the dresses
We couldn't tell if it was him following us or if we had been following him, the messenger
(We are all princesses of this village)
It was only a matter of days before they'd discover the grape was inside me;
"I've been told you grow grapefruit there, young boy"
The boy couldn't help but lick the old man's feet
Grapes were spread on his knees;
The wine had been hexed a flavor to please the princesses
(The grape was to be kept inside their bodies until the day of their weddings)
Ribbons were swallowed and defecated under the form of young virgins
We sucked the candles, our lips suddenly green;
"My boy could never have done that, look at him he is just a kid, and he is paralized"
(Paralysis was only one of his many symptoms)
Sometimes you would see the boy from the castle drink the milk down and right after
He would rip his own face off ;
(Back to the castle we would open the milk bottles and poor the princesses blood)
The fondlings were dressed like girls
And each of them were presented as the daughter of the King;
We saw you with those boys they were wearing dresses
And now all your siblings are cursed
"I won't wear the dead girl's dress" We showed him the milk. He put on the dress.
Is that my eye on the shelf? he closed the door;
I went there but the castle had moved away, and I sat and talked to God
(The mold was everywhere, it was growing on the forks, the knives, even on the face of the messenger)
A noble child opened his legs, I sprayed the field with his sperm
We didn't lose him, the fog took him away, then the blue blood,
Both of them blond, maybe that was a mistake
He spat the wine, the good wine;
They said they would tear all the maps and then the land would disappear
(Their sisters would drink vinegar from golden bottles, not to grow old)
There in the field he was struck by lightning, he slowly became the messenger;
(They told him the crust on his face was dusk mold)
The King's tissue was found there in the mud
"They shall call me by my father the King's name"
He would stick his fingers in my mouth and we would both have maiden names;
Tadpoles would grow in our pubic hairs, and we won't feel at home anywhere, that is what the doctor said
"That mirror was not covered up innocently, my good prince" the prince warned;
The castle that took fire, I think I was there
If that boy wasn't me then who am I? he cried, we don't know yet
"Why did you take off your necklace, you are no one now"
I didn't know, I swear
We won't give you back your tongue if you don't stay quiet, my prince
(They all knew what was buried in the mud)
The insects tried to warn them, but they turned their backs on them and left;
"It will probably hurt a little at times, but this way we will be together forever"
He poured the blue blood in his brother's mouth, the herbs were chewed by the messenger,
then placed in their orifices
But then you'll die, maybe I won't, he said
(They thought virgins' saliva was the antidote)
No one would come and get us in this wooden box, so well hidden;
We thought we would just walk and walk until we turned back into young boys, but something went wrong
We all stood up in a line, only one of us was dressed
(I kept the piece of skin they cut off the King's neck)
We should have never ate his heart, it was a mistake
Maybe they were never there, she said, "but I locked them up myself!"
Where are you going kids? Take this with you
We should have trusted him, we should have taken the lantern
It's okay, we must have gone the wrong way, he smiled to us, he put back the knife in his dress;
I think they know
We must have been tricked, the tree was there just a moment ago
One of us must have spoken in our sleep
On the knife was a name, can you tell us the name? We did not remember, the knife, the name
The King sighed, she was my daughter after all
You kids have blue blood right? Here, have some more wine
"Flowerery sheets, almost clean, no bugs in the bed," read the messenger (God wasn't there above him)
I don't know if I ever drank wine before
Something in the milk would give it its precious colour;
Are you the King's daughter? I don't know, answered the messenger
(Tadpoles were collected from all over the land)
Fondlings, I've seen them dragging around here, and don't turn away before you reach the castle
(They didn't know there was no such thing as blue grapefruits on this land)
And if I never visited this land, how come I came back alive?
When he woke up, the King had forgotten the messenger, the fondlings, his daughter;
What if she was my wife? Did I ever have a daughter?
And the milk would never turn sour, kids, do you know where I can find these miraculous cows?
(Our good King had been sleeping a lot lately)
Then the castle slowly moved to where it was supposed to be —
We saw the sparkling lights, that's when we had the first dream
They said they will bake us pancakes
If we stopped putting blood everywhere;
The rose in his rectum was perfectly pink
Pink pink pink pink pink pink, and as vague as a human hand
or a human medusa,
Then the kids blinded us with handfuls of grey grass, we surrendered at the end;
Or mother spilled dough drops on the floor, one of us knelt and licked it,
And smiled
The body shape on the sand, I think I recognized It, I think it was mine
The lights of the Kings were vanishing so quickly, we would press the bleeding tissue on our horses' faces
And mystify the names of the children in front of their pretty mothers
We would accept the fever of Hercules in our bodies
We would shiver with relief and would paint our nails to honour our dead
I fear the lights on my fingertips, they don't resemble the sun beams at all
I lay down on my father in his sleep, I rub my ankles on his ankles twice
And the blank space between our knees, Nothing grows there;
Something innocent flew nearby, just near my ear
I guess I didn't give the King what he expected since the day he gave birth to me
O Lord, don't forget to pierce my ear with your virile sounds
The bell was tied to my brother's neck, my brother tied to the barn door
Under the sheets, the evil eye;
The limits of my lips mingled to the field's colours, my mother filled my mouth with grapes
The sweet taste of gasoline pleased her as she kissed my cheeks
And no one dropped dough on the floor, who am I? he asked
And then he died;
Some flies made their way to our beds, a violent wind undressed my father in my sleep
We thought nothing happened that night, there behind the King's back
And so we ran and the rain was the semen of our ancestors,
In our hands we're drowning animal's eyes
Then the ground opened but we weren't there;
Our mother died a virgin, my eyelids are still black after the rain
You shall now touch the seed with one finger, and you shall not speak, you shall not speak
They would elucidate the blood with a vinegar symmetry
My hand or his hand leading the dead dog to his bed of hail
And we would received silence from god's glands
And spread it on our faces;
I feed my brothers with my own gleaming body and myself with dusty semaphores
For you, my boys, for you I would sacrifice my last piece of bread
On a blue floor of agonizing virgins, our father gave up his name and twisted his finger
We counted to ten, someone behind us
He sanctified himself,
I don't fear the vanity of this chopped off head
North was going through us
We don't know if they use stars now, she said,
She was my sister slowly rotting on the stairs
She was my sister when I broke the vase
And wrote her name along her thigh with locks of painted hair;
So what breathes around our faces of pure terror, delicate mud, the arm of the child is a bracelet
Are you there singing boys that I violently embraced yesterday?
He took aspirin
Then dismembered his heirs;
My mother's sister is dead
Under the vines she took off her dress and waited for Venus, who wasn't there
We are just vaguely there,
Miniscule as the flour that covered up her face
He sat next to me and spat blue blood on my bike's seat,
What is behind me i can't even guess
That's when she burnt the dog's hairs and bit my night leg
Children licked my feet in a green reflection of hail:
A fly walks on my neck
We eclipse the moon and throw a knife at it,
Far from the devil's tongue
Dad, do you want to smell this rose in front of Helen?
We touch the wolf and his skin is pure light, somehow he looks exactly like in a book
And again the roses digested us, who said there was no wolf, we are back by the water
This tree, this tree is my whole family, she scratched her leg:
I want to smell what's inside your hands, the door of Hell is there
I really am a doll, God cried in despair;
We braided iron petals in our hair thinking the war was over
We are in the middle of nowhere,
We bite our nails, our father wandering between different layers of gold that we
Vomited in the stairs
Then crawling under the vines with Jesus on my back,
By the circle water we crushed our fingers. The blood is for the fishes
The dog was following me, nibbling the long, long hair
I'm outside my father now, I am lost in the garden.
I died in a dream last night, and it did not wake me up, said Shirley
We pass the little church, we used to spit glitters on this bench
Kids whistling like snakes at the corner of the street
A smelly paw gently lowers my eyelids, our tongues are winter peaches;
We all went out tiptoe that night
Our faces crossed by colour pencil stripes
The moon reversed twice,
Shirley sat next to me and said, eventually your cat will grow old, you'll see
They left me alone near the lake and I stayed there awhile, flickering
Thinking about the sharpened tooth secretly placed in a matchbox on my sister's dressing table
A girl sucked the tip of her ice cream cone
And slapped my two cheeks with her yellow voice;
The fire with a scent of the moon, we untie our shoelaces to offer our toes to Jupiter,
None of them moved when the rocks hit their necks
Maybe they're having a conversation on the stairs
I picked up the echo of their languid hair off my tongue
And folded their ankles like coloured almond dough
Their legs were wolves legs without a doubt;
Shirley poured blue light in Juan Carlos' ear
And sucked his eyes soaked with precocious summer
Whispering, we shall sacrifice ourselves to penetrate the bestiary
With thin, thin mulberry tree branches, they would intermingle their hair;
My father wakes us up in the middle of the night
He turns on the lamp and says
They rest in peace, they didn't suffer
The venitian slave was raised here
Lay down hold the lizard near your face, we are all watching you
(This very day they had made an important discovery about the colour green)
We're dragonflies, the children cried, and jumped out the pylon;
They would preach the green colour all across the cities
They would walk along with the shepherds sometimes sharing their beds
The tip of the noses, the fingertips of the newborns, were painted by the young men of faith
Green spots glittering on the surface of the lake at nightfall;
The weeks had nineteen days back then and each of them was named after a plant's name
And the citizen would cut the tail of their dogs on rudbeckia;
Why did you hide his birth? Speak
The citizen's kids were all taught how to speak backwards
They said they never heard about Venice my hometown before
And each of them would have to carry around his dog's tail to prove his identity
The gold coins were all destroyed and green was the money;
I came all the way down there from my home town Venice to know more about this discovery
"The young preachers they are on their way now"
He taught his slaves all he knew about plants, and they would teach it to their sons
And the son of their sons;
We saw this dog lick the green stain on the slave's corpse and now his tail is growing back
On the nineteenth day she sliced my fingertips
And they were shared among my brothers for them to eat
Our noses would be rubbed with fresh handfuls of primroses;
I am an old man now and I look forward to dying, the Venetian lord dictated
(Sometimes the young preachers would hypnotize the shepherds and inject the green colours in their irises)
"Maybe if we stop watching it will stop" she said. It is called Triplocoria
Hail was falling on the day of my birth the shepherds were praying to Jupiter;
What colour were your son's eyes, I don't remember
For ninety days and ninety nights they went hunting for salamanders, they barely slept
Hail was falling and the shepherds were scared, o they were terrified
She began to doubt the existence of her child. They gave her another green injection
(Somehow the green lights were slowly moving, and would almost reach the mountains)
One of the slave's son began to speak backward, too;
Sometimes he would make dreams where a green, green hail was gently covering his body on the ground
"Please spare him, take one of my others sons," the young preacher applied the colour;
On the surface of the lake i saw my nose my fingers vanish away
(Suddenly the slave's son was able to understand the language of the shepherds)
Lactuca, nelumbo, fragaria, gladiolus, tussilago, gypsophila, salix, medeola, callistephus, anthurium,
oxalis, lobelia, digitalis, echinops, lythrum, hesperis, wisteria, epictatis, rudbeckia
"Come to me, brothers of mine," the young preacher opened his arms, we sung;
We were scared of turning around, scared of discovering the salamanders had been following us,
we walked faster
Who gave you that dog tail?
You gave it to me
No I didn't
"Lizards, herbs, grasshoppers, dragonflies, salamanders, plants," he listed them,
he wrote their names on his chest
What else do you know, how did the green happen?
The needle was near her face now, SAY
(The son of the Venetian lord, he is the one who gave me the dog's tail)
"This is not how we spell this word," he thought his master had been tricking him;
The slave's sons would cover their ears with their hands,
but they would still hear the singing of the citizens' kids
We found her here, her pupils green, o so green
(Their tongues would progressively change colour)
"Your son is nowhere to be found my lord," the slave was a little taller than his master and had to bend his knees when they walked together
So remember children, if you find grass under your sheets, you shall go and tell the lord
On a green alley, they died, the dragonflies;
Do you know the name of this root?
(The slave's son was nowhere to be found)
"Give us back the dog," the Venetian kids laughed, they opened the scissors;
How would I recognize my son, now that he has no finger or nose
(The mothers would carve the names of their sons on the backs of the salamanders)
He spat green spit in his hands, "see"
And the slave's son would sometimes imitate their singing, and his mother would hide the dogs;
Hail was falling the day I was born and now they're looking for me, the shepherds
(Golden grass was secretly kept in the Venetian lord's chest)
None of my brothers recognized me when I came back from the lake, show us your dog's tail
(It didn't affected my sight at first,
but then I started to have visions where the shepherds would all have my face)
What is this plant doing in your belongings, young man, you know it isn't allowed by our lord
Someone must have put it in there
We've never heard about your home town Venice
We are here now
We stand by our beds with our fingers on our teeth
A clean mouth is a mouth that drank its own sins, says my brother;
I think we are here
Our lips are swampy, and ravens sometimes peck them;
I can't feel my hand, I feel my brother's breath on my upper lip but
The light really tastes like ivory, like the sadness of the elephants
Elephants are perched, somewhere near us
(We know we must crown everything that surrounds us at night)
We've been thinking about glycerine a lot lately
A sip of fog, we are clean
The good sailor sleeps under my bed,
His eyes are sometimes blue
He is clean, too
To always be clean, we also have to purify the mist
(We will purify the sea with a frost of geometry)
We sailed on our brother's waters in the barn that night, invisible
Put your hands on the map, kids, all of you
(The eldest child blew mist on the window, several times)
Stop saying he came bac, my brother covered his ears;
We would place the apple liquorice on the table, where he used to sit
One of us would sometimes say the name of the ship, or
What he thought was the name of the ship
(we dreamt our brother's hand was hanging from his bed, and we licked his palm in our sleep)
Who told you such a thing
It was written on the mist;
Mother placed a crown of strawberries on each of our foreheads, you shall not smile
And the path of icy heathers,
At the end of the icy path you may find a shield
We'll lay our brother down on the barn floor, and there we will crown him with hellebores;
Maybe we are the saliva of the sea
The reverberation of the slaps on the sailors cheeks
Maybe we were born to be tangled to the silence of the ships
And sail naked under our sheets for years and years
But we're here now, we're here
We came back to feel what is left for us to feel
And our barefeet are clean;
See mother, this is my body tied to the lavenders
Tied to the solemn eye of the deerhunter
(God feared the mist on our fingertips)
He stood there by the window, blowing the sourness of the apples
Our lips were closed when we kissed our brother;
Abel and Caïn danced together in the lake with fishes in their hands
The reflection on the bed
Who's there?
I gave the best fish to my smaller brother, he licked my eyelids and said
We must crown the sailor if he recognizes the sea.
The next day we slapped her harder
Don't paint me yellow! she cried
Don't cry yellow
She was thoroughly bleached her neck her face
And then they came, small animals
Small, small, small, small animals
(We do love bleach, too)
If we ever find our way out of the wood,
Then we'll die
Sperm is a colour, kids are perched
Don't die there in the woods
(He took the dog for a walk and now he is dead)
Pink paint would encircle my left wrist, all this blood
Emoc ot el eht elttil seon
I esimorp emoc tuo dna yalp
I t'now kool
I t'now kool
Sselnu ouy eid
These love bites, your family jewels, my son;
I remember you know his hair, his hair was sometimes grey
(We enjoy your face crushed against the wall)
There was another cage, this one is empty
"We lied to you my child, this bear isn't your father"
Then the walls moved to be near us, to be near us
We never said we knew the alphabet
"Us muslims, we never say the name of God," he said, saying it
Hung above the strawberry field before night break, maybe it was me, me, me
Ew reven dias ew wenk eht tebahpla
A discreet walk to the park...
It was closed on Monday, they said
Now this
They stole oranges from me, they stole oranges from me
Sometimes I urinate rain, even though I am not a catholic;
"When he devoted himself to the bleach..."
O Lord,
Give us back our pants, "pieces of my head enclosed in the good old baker's bread
Then he said, 'I beg your pardon, King Salomon' then he died.
(She smiled when they undug me)
The jar opened slightly, something RED
Something borrowed
Something DEAD
(We did not steal what they said, it was in the bread)
This apple pie is baked for GOD,
A jaw wrapped in plastic, the land was near and yet we couldn't speak,
Open your hands so I can see your pearls
"This is the bell you shall ring when you will be buried alive in a pet cemetery"
Insanely nice people offer me an apple
Before they slit my throat;
Are we alone? he asked, Did we lock the door?
"We won't let you go if you stay pretty"
I pity my brothers, I pity their ankles, always twisted
And if we were not there who would slap the sailors;
You see me now as i was in your garden twenty years ago, as long as it is pretty he said
(The end was near and yet we couldn't speak)
"Don't lie to me you don't recognize the sea"
She is always with you in heaven, your twin sister
(My sister is still DEAD)
Salt ends, dear friend
(I think they sucked up a fish)
You know, my boy, we don't need you to have toes,
ti swa a erem yadseut
"I see the limits of your body"
Watching those kids on a merry go round, to choose one
Careful my child, don't sneeze before you pass the river
I frowned to the melon, our redemption won't be golden at all;
They were rehearsing Christmas Eve, I choked with candy before they undressed me
Eyelids glued with pure light, BITE THE NURSE! BITE THE NURSE!
"I will not last forever." A rock
Glowing birds humping our lips, repeatedly.
You would hear this voice every time you dive
"Someone waiting for you by the bed"
The sun won't boil it, take it, I plucked it for you
The moon won't boil it
Take it, I boiled it for you
She pictured the blade in her hand, that's when she remembered,
'"The sky is not above anymore"
(He said he could never get hard with barbelö)
My hairs were hung above the lavenders at noon, it is my lady, o it is my worm
"Mingle the bottles. Now. Do it." Both of them blue;
(That's when they discovered my wife wasn't edible)
He opened the bedroom door
My tail was well hidden;
He unwrapped his Christmas presents
I was hard.
She was my only daughter and now she's dead
After the deer
Nothing appears
(When I asked his name, the boy fell dead)
Hongrians would swallow raw eggs the night of their weddings
"We won't scratch the green wall" the skull nodded;
Your sister. The wind took her away
(I thought I would blow the astronaut)
"You will be slapped to death if you don't glow in the dark"
(And now there is a cure against gravity)
They said I ate an orange, my beloved is there, under this rock;
"Can you spell your names, kids?" we didn't know what to answer
We thought we saw the moon, we closed the door;
Open your eyes, you're a young girl, now put on your dress
Old man put the candy in the sleeping child's mouth. "If you don't swallow it. you will be considered a traitor"
(Our beds on the stairs were no beds at all)
I didn't mean to drink it, they mingled the bottles, the colour was injected in my eyelids,
It itches;
Someone is beaten to death with a handful of honeysuckles
(And for some of us the island did not appear at all)
"No one made the drawing" the drawing was torn
This dog, this dog didn't die of natural death — silence.
When we saw the purple scarf for the second time, we knew we would be taken away
"You would be missed." he put the lid back on the pan
When he grew older
He died.
In a dream we were told we didn't need to breath
Our hands are on your eyes, we tied branches around our necks, we didn't sleep at all
(We were not afraid of the animals appearing beyond our eyelids)
I lay down in front of you, salty.
A quiet leaf wraps around your wrist, we exhale dim light, look under the rock
The virgin eye
Body fractaled on the surface of our lips,
(We bit through a jellyfish, our daughters appearing in the middle of the lake)
We saw our faces on a piece of soap and sliced it
And spread it
And remember, the valleys, they move so fast
He was my sister when he fell asleep I wrote his name in reverse on his back
"Your ship wrecked many years ago" he smiled and walked away;
They were hung here yesterday and now they're gone
(He told everyone the tree was his father)
Past the mountains, there they grew, the missing kids;
Our horse knew someday the night would come, he paused. Fingers were sucked
We were bleeding pure gold, we went on;
(The bride knew all the season's names)
The fishes were on me they were sometimes keeping me company
The sea, the silence, were not worth dying for;
You were my beautiful sister, we took a nap, a long nap, and woke up on a Tuesday
We celebrated our hair, our necks, the woods would envy us
"And if I don't die for my sister, I'll die for a lonely sailor"
We believed sleep was the dust of the sea
And when the rain stopped, we did not believe in God any longer
(A grasshopper in each hand, we drink the death of spring)
We caught the snails they threw from the cliffs
Then vomiting gold on the bench,
Someone or something dancing on the outskirts of the green planet;
I can't recall the colours of my mother, her eye, her thigh
Our ears are there, well kept
Then they found their way to my bed, the reptiles;
A leak on the roof, sperm drops
Squatted in the hollow trunk, I waited and waited but nothing appeared
(When we run in the woods, we are invisible to God)
KIDS, FUCKING — to be sanctified
When I touched him, he looked like a cat, only smaller
(With a hole in your head you'll be able to control the rotation of the sun)
There's nothing there, after the river
I see a yellow dog, and two vines
"Say anything that comes to your mind" said the TV,
My skin is peeling, the boy said
Oblivion was right there, in this very puddle, he lied;
The surface of the walls was the skin of my mother
The islands were infected by the pork;
Sooner or later, kids, you will embrace this octopus
"I love pudding" — me too, he cum;
Those noises are insects tickling the mold on your tits
Vinegar was injected in the cells, then a foxtrot;
We removed the heavy skull and cleaned the area with lemonade
A citrus would be placed in the dead part of the brain, sharpening our teeth on ivory drops
Then I promised not to bite the muscles;
A lonely nap tangles my father's hair, the red woman spat sun semens on our hands;
Are you sure that's what you want? You won't depend on gravity anymore
"He left his lipstick on the bench and now he's dead"
(My breath was somehow mingled with glass)
I spat the milk on his scar, the milk (jar was full of blue sunday)
"I trust the insects, they'll lead us the way to the cabin"
Our pockets filled with apricots, we take off our faces;
(We didn't know the cure was in the shell)
On a mouthful of plastic my sister choked to death
Black bird, black bird, they sung;
(They were drawing vines on our chests)
We pissed rays of light on the violet hay, the divine child spread himself all over my face
Shall we really trust the villagers?
It wasn't violent, so I went back to sleep
Suddenly the neighbours dissembled me;
This wasn't there when we locked up
Our fiancés are yellow dust under the blankets, we inhale
"Those kids got married in a pet cemetery,
They killed our dog and ate his eye"
(War is declared)

Agricultural microbials are produced from naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These microbials are usually applied to seeds or sprayed on crops to protect them from pests and diseases. Browse Full Report with TOC @ http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/agricultural-microbialsmarket.html Microbials also enhance productivity and fertility of the plant. Agricultural microbial products provide sustainable and cost effective solutions to increase plant yield, irrespective of geographies. Various types of fungi, bacteria, algae and viruses are the commonly used microbials in agriculture. Furthermore, these microbials play an important role in the production of grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, and poultry and livestock products. Soil is the most important component of agriculture. Microbes present in the soil therefore play a vital role in the management and regulation of nutrients available for crops. Agricultural microbials are thus used to enhance the crop yield. Companies operating in this market are striving to launch products containing different microbial ingredients to meet the expected yield. Agricultural microbials are beneficial in the production of food in the form of a long term sustainable base for agricultural activities that help to maintain and improve human health. Further, agricultural microbials preserve and protect the environment and are therefore beneficial for both farmers as well as consumers. Increasing demand for food is expected to drive the global agricultural microbials market in the next few years. This added factor is expected to boost the market for agricultural microbials in the coming years. Agricultural microbials supply nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus to plants. These microbials also protect plants from pests and diseases. Agricultural microbials enhance the nutrient transportation process, improve soil structure, maintain biological equilibrium and enhance plant growth which subsequently results in increased yield of the plant. Thus, agricultural microbials have become increasingly popular in food production across the globe. Favorable regulatory and financial policies of various governments regarding the usage of microbial products, increasing global population, rising demand for food, and environment-friendly farming practices are the major driving factors of the agricultural microbials market. Growth of the agricultural microbials market is primarily led by the high frequency of crop diseases and rising demand for food in developed as well as developing nations. Environmental protection laws in the U.S. and Europe are major drivers encouraging the use of agricultural microbials in these regions. This trend is likely to continue in the near future with growing importance of the agriculture industry. Furthermore, factors such as innovative production practices that do not harm crop yield would boost the usage of agricultural microbials globally. The market for agricultural microbials is expected to expand in Asia Pacific due to the economic growth coupled with increasing demand for food in the region. Developing countries such as China and India are likely to play a vital role in the agricultural microbials market in coming years due to the increased demand for food. North America, followed by Europe, is anticipated to be the largest market for agricultural antimicrobials due to stringent regulations requiring environmentfriendly means of agriculture and rising demand for organic food in the region. Companies operating in this market aim to generate innovative solutions in order to meet the changing need of the consumers and these companies also invest heavily on research and development of new microbial products with the anticipated bright prospects for this market. Therefore, the global agricultural microbials market is anticipated to expand significantly in the near future.

What it really means to be VAT registered
You probably hear the word VAT all the time if you are in business, but what does it really mean to be VAT registered?
VAT registration is an obligation if you are making taxable supplies and exceed the threshold of £85,000 (2018 – see current years here) but you can also volunteer to register for VAT at any point if you are making taxable supplies.
Once you are registered, in basic terms, you become a collector on HMRC's behalf and must charge 20% VAT on all your taxable sales unless a special rate applies to your services or products.
This then needs to be paid over to them, but before you do, you can take away the VAT you have paid on anything you have bought for use in the business that you have incurred VAT on, providing you have copies of the VAT receipt.
Therefore, you only pay over the VAT of all the VAT you have collected (output VAT) less the VAT you have incurred (input VAT).
You must complete a VAT return that then needs to be submitted to HMRC one month and 7 days after the end of your quarter. Keeping your bookkeeping up to date can really benefit you when needing to complete your VAT returns, as it keeps the workload down.
When invoicing your customers, you will need to include VAT at the applicable rate and show a breakdown of this, along with your VAT number which you will get given when you register.
Many business owners find VAT return a very stressful, complex task and therefore choose to outsource it to a bookkeeper or accountant.
We are here to help and if you would like to find out more, please book in a discovery call.

A friend of mine inherited a very large yarn stash from a friend who moved into a retirement home. This friend must have been collecting yarn for a very long time - apparently there was an attic full. So Roni has been sharing - and look what she dropped off at my house this morning! It was just as I was leaving for work - and I couldn't wait to get home to go through it!
Most of it is 100% wool. Some of it has no label, so I'll have to test to see if it's wool or not- especially if I'm going to felt it.
I'm so excited I feel like it's Christmas and my birthday!
The yarn for my 'Hemi' is in there someplace, and some great irish knit scarves and hats, some shawls and felted bags, ......I really need to retire!

Pinocchio has five reels with three rows and up to fifteen paylines all set in inside Geppetto's carpentry workshop where the craftsman produces his creation – Pinocchio, who located on either side of the reels.
There are two principal characters featured in the Pinocchio game with the man of the title Pinocchio himself and his impoverished woodcutter father, Mister Geppetto. Both appear in various guises as icons on the reels, whilst other slots icons include a variety of Geppeto's creations including a sledge and a clock.
How to play Pinocchio
Before joining the most recognised wooden boy in the storytelling world on his adventures, players should adjust their settings.
To determine the number of active paylines, players should click "Select Lines."
"Choose Coin" revises the coin value ranges.
"Bet Per Line" adds more coins to the payline.
"Max Bet" spins the reels at the highest possible bet.
"Spin" begins the game and gets the reels spinning.
"Autoplay" automatically spins the reels without interruption for a limited period.
Should players wish to boost their winnings, they can click on the "Double Up" button after each win. Players need to correctly guess whether the coin is going to land on tails or heads. Guessing correctly will double the amount the player had staked. Guessing incorrectly will forfeit, and the round is over.
Symbols in Pinocchio
The high-value icons are a wood plane, a cuckoo clock, a caged creature, a poster for The Great Stromboli and two versions of Pinocchio, one being the wooden version, and the other the real boy. Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace make up the lower-value symbols.
Special symbols in Pinocchio are the carpenter Geppetto, a traditional caravan, a pile of books and of course Pinocchio himself.
Bonus features of Pinocchio
Real Boy Mode
Some Pinocchio icons contain a smaller symbol in the corner; collecting five of those will allow players to complete the Real Boy/Wood Boy mode overhead the reels. This is where Pinocchio becomes real, and each of those icons turns wild during this bonus round, continuing until players have collected five small Pinocchio symbols and return to the Wood Boy mode.
Fairy Awesome Respins
If players have a possibility of a five icon combination but they are missing a symbol on the first, second or third reel there is a possibility that the fairy will arrive and offer players a free respin to help make that winning combination.
Different Worlds
When players start the game they are in Geppetto's workshop; however, once they have collected enough of the scatter symbols, players are taken to several alternative worlds where they can obtain some more free spins.
Primary World: Geppetto's Workshop – is the primary game, and if they can land Geppetto himself on the third reel he will become wild; where he will move to the left with every free spin until he drops off the left-hand side.
Secondary World: The Classroom – landing the book scatter icon on the second, third and fourth reels and collecting ten to fill the meter located at the top right-hand corner will give players eight free spins. However, these will only decrease on non-winning spins. A book that falls the first, third and fifth reels will act as a wild feature.
Secondary World: The Stage – when the caravan scatter falls, this will collect ten and fill up the metre located in the top left-hand corner. Players then head to this area for eight free spins. Landing the caravan on the first, third and fifth reels creates a wild that remains in place for five respins.
Pinocchio is a beautiful slot experience that almost punches above its weight with the alternative world scenarios. Don't be put off by the childish nature of the game's theme - once the meters begin to be filled the prizes start to roll in making Pinocchio a game every punter should play.

In energy modeling, we often utilize spline variables to capture the non-linear relationship between consumption and temperature. These variables typically take the form of Heating Degree Days (HDD) and Cooling Degree Days (CDD). In the simplest case, a CDD variable evaluates to a positive value when temperatures exceed a critical breakpoint, while it returns a 0 otherwise. Similarly, an HDD variable evaluates to a positive value when temperatures are less than a critical breakpoint, while it returns a 0 otherwise.
AvgDB = Average Drybulb Temperature
d = date
In this example, the critical break point is 65: temperatures above 65 return positive CDD values, while temperatures below 65 return positive HDD values. Of course, 65 degrees is not necessarily the point above which cooling starts and below which heating starts—this is for illustrative purposes and these points may differ based on geography and other factors.
To extend this idea, we create multiple CDD and HDD variables, each of which have different critical breakpoints. This allows the model to capture a different weather response at different temperatures. For example:
These are 'open-ended' or 'non-capped' degree days. CDD65 returns a positive value for all temperatures above 65. CDD75 returns a positive value for all temperatures above 75. Both CDD65 and CDD75 return positive values at temperatures above 75. The following table evaluates the two CDD variables at three different temperatures: below 65 degrees, between 65 and 75, and above 75.
By way of contrast, we can create 'capped' degree days, which include a ceiling on their value. The following two equations are alternate yet mathematically equivalent specifications:
These two equations evaluate as follows:
- At temperatures below 65, the equations return 0.
- At temperatures between 65 and 75, the equations return a value between 0 and 10.
- At temperatures above 75, the equations return 10.
To capture the effect of temperatures above 75, we will need another variable. The highest CDD variable must remain 'open ended' to capture all possible temperatures above the breakpoint. In other words, this variable is specified identically to the uncapped version.
The following table evaluates the two CDD variables at three different temperatures: below 65 degrees, between 65 and 75, and above 75.
In this simple example, the only difference between the values in Table 1and Table 2 is the value for the first CDD at 76 degrees. In the uncapped version, CDD65 evaluates to 11 and it evaluates to 10 in the uncapped version.
This raises the following question: does it matter if I use capped or non-capped degree days in my model?
To answer this question, we can evaluate two daily energy models. The models include a constant term, a trend, two CDD variables and two HDD variables:
The following figure presents the coefficients from each of the two models, with the non-capped degree days on the left and the capped degree days on the right. The first thing to observe is that the coefficients are the same for the constant term, the trend variable, CDD65 and HDD60. However, the action happens in the extreme degree-day variables.
In the uncapped model, the effect of the extreme degree days also incorporates the effects of the less extreme values. In this example, temperatures above 75 are incorporated in both the CDD65 and CDD75 variable, wherein the coefficient on CDD75 represents the marginal effect of those observations. That means the net effect of a temperature above 75 is the sum of the coefficient for CDD65 and CDD75. Similarly, the effects of the HDD50 also incorporates the effects of the HDD60.
In the uncapped model, the sum of the coefficients on CDD65 and CDD75 is 25,571.0, which is exactly equivalent to the coefficient on the CDD75 in the capped model. Similarly, the sum of the coefficients on the HDD60 and HD50 variables is 7,817.7, which is exactly equivalent to the coefficient on the HDD50 in the capped model.
There are a few observations:
- The remainder of the coefficients are identical.
- The model statistics are identical in the two specifications.
- These results occur in monthly models as well.
There are times, particularly with monthly models, where the uncapped degree days—primarily the extreme values—will be statistically insignificant. This occurs because there is collinearity between the degree-day variables. If there is concern about the optics of including insignificant variables in the model (e.g. from management or regulatory oversight), the capped degree days provide a solution, as they will typically be highly significant. Rest assured however, the results will be identical.
The takeaway is that you can use whichever approach you prefer – with impunity.

Nato Attack On Pakistani Army Border
These are the first pictures of the lethal devastation wrought on remote Pakistani army border posts by a strike by Nato helicopters gunships and warplanes last weekend. The pictures, released by the Pakistani military yesterday, come as anger mounts in the country over the attacks, which killed 24 soldiers. A senior Pakistani army officer has accused Nato of a deliberate, blatant act of aggression, hardening Pakistan's stance on an incident that could hurt efforts to stabilise Afghanistan.
This handout photograph taken on November 26, 2011 and released by the Pakistani military yesterday shows the Pakistani border post struck by a cross-border Nato air strike in the Mohmand tribal district
Already furious politicians in Islamabad have responded by pulling their country out of an international conference in Germany next week on Afghanistan's future. They have also cut vital supply lines through Pakistan to Nato troops fighting in Afghanistan, and ordered U.S. forces out of a base that had been used to launch drone attacks.Continuing that angry tone, Major General Ishfaq Nadeem, director general of military operations, said Nato forces were alerted they were attacking Pakistani posts but helicopters kept firing.
His comments were carried in local newspapers on Wednesday that characterized the attack as blatant aggression.
'Detailed information of the posts was already with ISAF (International Security Assistance Force), including map references, and it was impossible that they did not know these to be our posts,' The News quoted Nadeem as saying at an editors' briefing held at army headquarters on Tuesday.
Another view of the still-smouldering border posts, where 24 Pakistani servicemen lost their lives
Nato helicopters and fighter jets bombarded the two military border posts in north-west Pakistan on Saturday in the worst incident of its kind since the beginning of the Afghanistan war. The helicopters appeared near the post around 15 to 20 minutes past midnight, opened fire, then left about 45 minutes later, Major General Nadeem was quoted as saying. They reappeared at 0115 local time and attacked again for another hour, he said. Major General Nadeem said that, minutes before the first attack, a U.S. sergeant on duty at a communications centre in Afghanistan told a Pakistani major that Nato special forces were receiving indirect fire from a location 15km (9 miles) from the posts. The Pakistanis said they needed time to check and asked for coordinates. Nadeem said the unidentified sergeant called back to say 'your ... post has been hit.'
Nadeem concluded that meant Nato knew the locations of the Pakistani posts before attacking, said The News
Salute: Pakistani soldiers march among the rows of coffins during a funeral for the 24 servicemen killed in the attacks
The army released a video to the media showing what it said were the Pakistani border posts -- rough constructions of large stones, corrugated metal and canvas in isolated positions. Filmed from a helicopter, it also showed foxholes and what appeared to be a mortar emplacement surrounded by rocks. Foreign policy analysts say the Pakistani military is likely to take advantage of widespread outrage over the attacks to press its interests in any future peace talks on Afghanistan.
Student protesters shout anti-American slogans during a protest in Peshawar. There is widespread anger across Pakistan following the air-strikes
The army is well aware that many Pakistanis believe the war on militancy their country joined has only served U.S. interests while thousands of Pakistani soldiers have died fighting. More than 1,000 Pakistani religious students protested in Lahore city, yelling 'Death to NATO' and 'Death to America.' 'If NATO and America do something like this again, we are going to turn Pakistan into their graveyard,' said 23-year-old university student Zahoor Ahmad. In the financial hub Karachi, women and children were among about 2,000 protesters. 'The government should end all relations with the United States,' said Khadija Subzwari, a mother of four. In Multan, protesters burned an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama and an American flag. In the town of Dera Ismail Khan, social worker Umar Mehsud, 28, echoed the thoughts of many furious Pakistanis.'Our leaders are asleep, oblivious to the problems of the people. It is sad and worrying that we are being bombed by a country which calls us a major ally,' he said.While officials on either side of the border disagree on the circumstances of the incident, it is possible that a retaliatory attack by NATO troops took a tragic, mistaken turn in harsh terrain where differentiating friend from foe can be difficult.But Mjor General Nadeem was adamant Nato had been told it was attacking Pakistani positions. 'They continued regardless, with impunity,' The News quoted him as saying.

Just make it harder to get into college. Most people just want to know if you went to college. Using a college curriculum vitae template, you can avoid the typical bugs found in most resumes. The curriculum is designed for college students with or without experience to get a job. It's not easy to do a resume, especially after graduating from college because you still don't have the right experiences for a specific job.
Sometimes, college tutors even offer guidance to write documents or give directions on how best to improve the current work in a better qualification. They are encouraged to show their previous experience in teaching and the explanation of the matter as simple as possible.
Collaboration The University Tutor is only one of the many specialists involved in the success of a student.
Avoid, if you can, common curriculum templates. By doing this, you will instantly get the template and automatically become a member of Chapter 12! If you are using a template, most of the time will be designed centered. Some people today use templates simply to get a rough idea of what all things should be included in a résumé. You will then need to make sure that you are offered fully customizable templates.
Regardless of the curriculum format you are using from the three we will talk about, never forget that it is an item that can solve a problem. The hardest step here is to choose which curriculum format is right for you. Each curriculum format was produced to improve your odds of finding the job in 2018.
At the start of several application processes, curricula are the means of communication involving you and a recruiter. They are not single-size products. They are naturally narcissistic, but they are an important part of their application and can be their path to the technology industry. Using a CV builder to create a complete and engaging resume is a great way to attract a prospective employer. The excellent resumes seem to be full and occupy a whole page. They look complete and occupy a whole page.
When you are at work, proving that you have integrity and that you value a solid work ethic is something you can demonstrate by acting as an expert and addressing others honestly and directly. You must get a job of your own that agrees with the course you took at the university. Part-time jobs can also be included.
Assuming you have previously occupied some work, you will most likely have a selection of skills and experience that a new employer would discover valuable. If you can discover a job that will allow you to be, for example, an assistant to a CEO, TAKE IT. For that reason, it is important to understand how to adapt your resume to every job you request. A job-specific resume is extremely important as long as you apply for technical profiles. As a guide, for each individual work application to which you apply, you will need to personalize your resume for that particular job you are requesting. You must have a convincing resume to get an excellent job, but no excellent employee will consider it without having some wonderful skills and experiences to your credit.

At the point where the body and the rock meet, where the corporeal and the lithic intertwine, this thin space is where it can be found. in the midst of her elemental composition* is an evening exploring interconnections between the human and the lithic, with a focus on the artist's own body and its geological heritage in the Western Isles. Considering the thin space between these bodies and the points at which they meet, AJ Stockwell's research concentrates on how this relationship can be articulated and in what tongue. Drawing upon a text written and translated from Michel Serres as a starting point, this new body of research is presented through sculpture, performance and audio. Water is central to connecting the corporeal with the lithic and as part of the performance the audience are invited to drink together from water collected in North Uist by the artist, which has filtered through the ancient rock body of this land. As the sun sets the performance progresses into a deep listening environment, where the audio piece is presented.

|Travel Medical Advice for Belgium
Preparing for Your Trip to Belgium
Before visiting Belgium, you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination: (Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.)
To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect.
Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, medications, and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.
If your travel plans will take you to more than one country during a single trip, be sure to let your health-care provider know so that you can receive the appropriate vaccinations and information for all of your destinations. Long-term travelers, such as those who plan to work or study abroad, may also need additional vaccinations as required by their employer or school.
Be sure your routine vaccinations are up-to-date. Check the links below to see which vaccinations adults and children should get.
Routine vaccines, as they are often called, such as for influenza, chickenpox (or varicella), polio, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), and diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) are given at all stages of life; see the childhood and adolescent immunization schedule and routine adult immunization schedule.
Routine vaccines are recommended even if you do not travel. Although childhood diseases, such as measles, rarely occur in the United States, they are still common in many parts of the world. A traveler who is not vaccinated would be at risk for infection.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Vaccine recommendations are based on the best available risk information. Please note that the level of risk for vaccine-preventable diseases can change at any time.
Vaccination or Disease Recommendations or Requirements for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Rabies vaccination is only recommended for travelers involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with bats. These travelers include wildlife professionals, researchers, veterinarians, or adventure travelers visiting areas where bats are commonly found.
Items to Bring With You
Medicines you may need:
The prescription medicines you take every day. Make sure you have enough to last during your trip. Keep them in their original prescription bottles and always in your carry-on luggage. Be sure to follow security guidelines, if the medicines are liquids.
Note: Some drugs available by prescription in the US are illegal in other countries. Check the US Department of State Consular Information Sheets for the country(s) you intend to visit or the embassy or consulate for that country(s). If your medication is not allowed in the country you will be visiting, ask your health-care provider to write a letter on office stationery stating the medication has been prescribed for you.
Other items you may need:
Note: Check the Air Travel section of the Transportation Security Administration website for the latest information about airport screening procedures and prohibited items.
Other Diseases Found in Western Europe
Risk can vary between countries within this region and also within a country; the quality of in-country surveillance also varies.
The following are disease risks that might affect travelers; this is not a complete list of diseases that can be present. Environmental conditions may also change, and up to date information about risk by regions within a country may also not always be available.
Tickborne encephalitis (TBE) occurs in warmer months of the southern part of the nontropcial forested regions of Europe.
Leishmaniasis (cutaneous and visceral) is found, especially in countries bordering the Mediterranean, with the highest number of cases from Spain, where it is an important opportunistic infection in HIV-infected persons.
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob cases have been reported primarily from the United Kingdom, although a few cases have been reported from other countries in Western Europe. Large outbreaks of trichinosis have occurred; outbreaks in France have been linked to horse meat.
Measles outbreaks occurred in several European countries in 2006.
Risk of hepatitis A is low, although sporadic outbreaks have occurred in developed countries.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 has been documented in wild birds or other avian species in several of the countries in Europe. For a current list of countries reporting outbreaks of H5N1 among poultry and/or wild birds, view updates from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
For more information, see the Geographic Distribution of Potential Health Hazards to Travelers and Goals and Limitations in determining actual disease risks by destination.
After You Return Home
If you are not feeling well, you should see your doctor and mention that you have recently traveled. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.
Important Note: This document is not a complete medical guide for travelers to this region. Consult with your doctor for specific information related to your needs and your medical history; recommendations may differ for pregnant women, young children, and persons who have chronic medical conditions.

Lennart Rieper, Florian Goecke und Paul Dudda, the founders of the Hamburg-based Towell+ came out on top Tuesday (September 6th) during VOX TV's "The Lion's Den". However, the envisaged investment of EUR 250,000 negotiated with the "lions" Jochen Schweizer und Ralf Dümmel in return for a 20 per cent share of the company did not come about in that way, the private initiative Hamburg Startups reported. The trio instead reached a co-operation agreement under which Schweizer will sell Towell+ on his web page, co-founder Dudda confirmed to Hamburg News.
"Pitching like crazy"
Rieper and Goecke are both product designers and together with their co-founder Dudda they pitched their "Towell+" – a sports towel that beats rival products. Their towel comes with a double-layer of material, zippable bag sown in, clear front and reverse and with an adhesive magnet to make life easier for athletes – and astonished the jury.
But their success was by no means coincidental. The convincing pitch, which Frank Thelen praised profusely calling it an "almost perfect product pitch", had been prepared meticulously. Prior to the show, Dudda told Hamburg News: "We wanted to do everything perfectly and so we researched all the 'lions' including their interests and expertise, even their daily routines – right down to every detail. In reference to the judges who had appeared in the earlier seasons of the show, we analysed precisely all the questions and their reactions to the individual pitches. Just before the show, we had a stand at the FIBO (a global fitness trade fair) in Cologne. We pitched like crazy from morning to night there, and are going to DSDL with this tailwind behind us."
New products in the pipeline
Following their coup, the trio now wish to take off with their Stryve start-up that they contracted out from their Thinks design agency in August 2015. "The demand for Towell+ has swelled like a flood in the wake of the show", Dudda said. But the trio do not intend resting on their laurels. And they have already surpassed a crowdfunding target of EUR 10,000 on the Kickstarter platform for their latest product – a sports watch called Intwo. Research into patents for another sports product is also underway, Dudda disclosed.

Learn about our editorial process Jamie Berke Updated on April 15, 2019 More in Hearing Loss/Deafness Support Causes & Prevention Sign Language Culture Hearing Aids & Technology Despite the commonly acknowledged difficulty deaf children have learning English, there is no shortage of resources for helping them do so. Literacy Teaching Methods Some classes use a tool called Manipulative Visual Language (MVL). This technique helps deaf children visualize the sounds they can not hear. The Fall 2003 issue of Odyssey, a publication of the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center at Gallaudet University, has an informative article on the use of MVL. Literacy Products The Clerc Center product catalog includes an entire section on literacy. Products available include a book on using dialogue journals, posters, and a writer's handbook for deaf students. Several companies develop literacy products or resources for deaf children, too, including: The Institute for Disabilities Research and Training, which has computer software with signed stories and games, plus companion books that feature Paws the Dog and the Con-SIGN-tration memory game series.Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) came up with "Cornerstones," a program that uses video stories to teach literacy to young deaf and hard of hearing children.BoysTownPress.org produces the "Read With Me" video series of ASL translations of well-known young children's literature. Deaf Literacy Websites DeafEd.net allows registered users to search for literacy material in the documents docsearch. Literacy is one of the "topical focus" choices in the search engine. Among the documents available for download are teacher problem/solution documents. One that I downloaded myself for my own use was titled "Encouraging Reading for Enjoyment." One of my deaf children was particularly resistant to reading, even resisting reading for pleasure, although he saw me enjoying my comic books and newspapers all the time. Books on Deaf Literacy Several books have been published that address literacy in deaf people: Language and Literacy Development in Children Who Are Deaf (2nd Edition)Literacy and Deaf People: Cultural and Contextual PerspectivesLiteracy and Your Deaf Child: What Every Parent Should KnowLiteracy Learning for Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of HearingThe Words They Need: Welcoming Children Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing to Literacy Literacy Articles There are numerous articles addressing literacy. Over a hundred can be found through the Eric.Ed.Gov website, a database of educational materials. Some articles can be downloaded free. The National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness has a section on Literacy, with articles, e-book resource lists, and much more. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

I've decided to use Fridays as a platform to speak about whatever I damn well please because fuck it. Welcome to 'Fuck It/You Fridays'. Inspired by my day so far is the title above. Say what you damn mean. For real. Ask for what you want in explicitly clear terms so there can be no confusion to be had whatsoever. This goes for all aspects of your life. No playing games. No bullshit. No wasting anybody's time.
Say. What. You. Damn. Mean.
Yours truly had an interview today. I was excited at the prospect because it looked like one of those cute, hipstery start-ups where people can take their dogs to work and drink craft beer as a team on Friday. The position was for data entry and while it isn't the most thrilling job in the world, the environment is and if people like you enough, you know there's the opportunity to move about.
So I arrive at this interview looking cute as hell. The girl interviewing me is also dressed cute as hell. I'm excited. She's friendly. We actually started dead ass at the time I was scheduled for. So far, so good!
She asks me what I know about their company, and after spending five minutes on their website, I decide to go the route of how impressed I am that they have a London office.
Her: Well, it's not so much a London office so much as we have a guy.
Red flag number one. Though, in their defense, saying 'We have a guy' sounds shady as hell. Still, maybe you don't want to mention on your company website about having an office in London when you, you know, don't.
Having 'a guy' is not an office. That guy could just be chilling in his apartment in his underwear. I don't know that guy's life. But I sure as hell know that if someone came knocking on my door looking for an office…
…I mean, I guess they technically aren't wrong, but I don't want to disappoint anyone. Especially considering my 'office' consists of a modest table filled with crumbs and questionable stains from the ghosts of snacks past.
Still, I'm willing to give these people the benefit of the doubt because I'm painfully, densely optimistic.
Then I'm hit with:
Her: We're actually not hiring for data entry right now.
Me: (Thinking, smiling outwardly) This might be the chance to really utilize my skills. Their blog is lacking. I blog. Maybe they need someone to update. Hell yes, Kira! High five!
Her: But we are looking for someone in sales instead.
Me: (Internally screaming, still outwardly smiling, but with murder eyes)
If it's sales you're looking for, why the hell would you post for data entry? Nowhere in my resume does it even HINT that I'm good with sales.
I've had a couple sales related positions in the past and I hated them with a burning passion. I hate when people try to 'sell me' on shit I don't need. I hate trying to push things people don't need off on them. Leave me alone. I don't want to be that person, I don't want to be involved with those people. I'm good, my guy.
I asked if there was literally anything else and she said it was all they had, so I politely declined.
The girl interviewing me expressed disappointment that I didn't want to do the position I that I had no intention of signing up for. Shocker, I know. She even commented, "But you're so good at selling yourself!"
Of course I'm good at selling myself. I have to be good at selling myself. Not to mention, I'm pretty fucking awesome so it's not hard.
Still, this could have saved me time and gas if she had just said what she damn meant the first time.
Thanks for clarifying in the email before I got there, sis. But at least in preparation for this, I did my hair and now it looks on point.

A jump-up shot of participants and facilitators of the Confirmation Retreat
SANDAKAN: Hoo haa! That's the response given to the facilitators by the 29 participants who attended a 4-day Confirmation Retreat at the Fr. Mulder's Catechetical Centre, the first ever conducted at the St. Mary's Cathedral, Sandakan. The retreat was held on 10 – 13 October 2013 and animated by Bishop Cornelius Sim and his Confirmation team of 8 facilitators from the Vicariate of Brunei.
On the first evening, the participants (who actually consist of two classes) were treated with two fun icebreakers. They quickly warmed up to the facilitators, and they also gelled with one another from either class. After the icebreakers, Bishop Cornelius gave the first session "The Beloved of God." The participants then returned home after they have completed their journal writing.
On the second evening, the participants checked in to the Catechetical Centre for their two-night stay. Bishop Cornelius gave the second session "Who is the Holy Spirit?" After the talk, the Brunei facilitators organized a Taizé prayer service. A light supper was served before the participants retired for the night. In order to acquaint themselves better with them, the facilitators opted to bunk with them for the duration of the retreat.
The third day was filled with many activities. They were divided into 5 groups, each guided by two or three facilitators. Firstly, participants were introduced to the Lectio Divina method of reading the Bible. Then they continued listening attentively to Bishop Cornelius' next talk entitled "What does the Holy Spirit do?" After the talk, participants broke into groups again and each group was given specific items to make. They could only use materials provided by the facilitators and items found in the nature to come up with their items.
After lunch, there was a brief fun game before the participants proceeded to Bishop Cornelius' talk on "How to be filled with the Holy Spirit." In preparation for Mass later in the early evening, the facilitators guided them in their Examination of Conscience for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Father Philip Muji of St. Mary's Cathedral assisted Bishop Cornelius in hearing the confessions of the participants.
At night, there was a healing and pray-over session. Before this retreat began, the parents or guardians of the participants were asked to write a letter of affirmation to their child, indicating their hope for them as confirmed Catholics. These letters were given to them to open and read just prior to the healing session. Many shed tears after they have read them. Every participant, including Sunday School teachers from Sandakan, went for the healing session.
After morning Mass and breakfast on the final day, the participants listened to Bishop Cornelius' final talk on "The Rest of My Life." At this juncture, the groups presented and explained the items they made the day before. For the remainder of the morning the groups were asked to come up with a presentation of what they thought and felt about the retreat. The presentation took place in the afternoon at the Conference Auditorium of the Diocesan Pastoral and Worship Centre. There were songs, skits and a native piece that invited everyone to dance the "Sumazau."
Facilitators from both Brunei (front row) and Sandakan teams
As the retreat drew to a close, many participants asked for another one next year! The facilitators were given Sabah/Sarawak souvenir T-shirts as mementos of their visit here. Participants took pictures and exchanged contact details with Bishop Cornelius and the facilitators.
