Chapter 330 – I… am Wang Lin (2)
In Zhan Bai's eyes, the trip to the Celestial Realm was his disgrace. Ceng Niu was a nobody who dared to ignore him. If that Ceng Niu had helped him, they would have easily killed the person chasing him.
"I didn't think that Ceng Niu could take an arm from Red Butterfly. Now that person is famous throughout Suzaku. Hmph, that fame should have been mine. Just you wait, Ceng Niu, one day we will have our fight!"
Zhan Bai sneered but soon he frowned and muttered, "Ceng Niu's thunder toad is a natural enemy to my insects, so it will be a bit difficult." His eyes lit up and he made up his mind. This time, he had to go deeper into the Nine Ghost Desolate Valley and get the king insect. With the insect king, even the thunder toad will lose its effect.
"It is smarter if I don't anger Ceng Niu before that happens. If that person was able to take an arm off Red Butterfly, then his cultivation level must not really be early stage Soul Formation like he shows on the surface. However, Suzaku is very large. Even if I want to mess with him, it will be hard to locate him." Zhan Bai snorted. After just the blink of an eye, he arrived outside of the Cloud Sky Sect.
The Cloud Sky Sect was surrounded by white clouds. These clouds were not natural but a sect protection formation. Not only did this formation protect the sect, it also had the ability to hide spiritual energy fluctuations from within.
Zhan Bai floated in the sky and looked at the clouds for a bit. He let out a smile of contempt and shouted, "Juniors of the Cloud Sky Sect, listen well. Open up the sect protection formation, bring out all your pills, and your sect master is to come out to greet me personally."
The Cloud Sky Sect was completely silent. After a while, a weak and gentle voice came of the Cloud Sky Sect. However, the voice was filled with determination.
"Senior is a Soul Formation cultivator; why make it difficult on a small sect like our. If there is any need for pills, then please ask us. My Cloud Sky Sect will do its best to fulfill you needs."
Zhan Bai revealed a mocking expression and said, "Oh? I guess you are the Cloud Sky Sect's sect master."
"Junior is the Cloud Sky Sect's sect master. Senior, please don't make it difficult for a small sect like ours…" Li Muwan's voice continued. It was still as alluring as it was in the past and was filled with gentleness.
Zhan Bai snorted and said, "I have to see just what kind of beauty this sect master of the Cloud Sky Sect is." With that, he reached toward the white clouds and made a grabbing motion.
With a series of crackling sounds, the white clouds quickly collapsed. but they quickly formed again.
"What is this? This formation is mysterious. It wasn't placed by your Cloud Sky Sect?" Zhan Bai's eyes lit up.
Li Muwan let out a sigh and said, "Senior, this formation was placed by the Giant Demon Clan to protect my Cloud Sky Sect. Consider giving Giant Demon Clan some face and not make it difficult for us."
"Giant Demon Clan…" Zhan Bai pondered for a bit before waving his hand. All of the insects around him attacked the clouds.
A wave of munching sounds came from the white clouds. This sound eventually got so loud that it covered up the humming of the insects.
"What about the Giant Demon Clan? Even if Chi Hu himself comes, he won't get angry with me over a mere Cloud Sky Sect." Zhan Bai smiled and reached out again.
With a loud bang, the one of the white clouds collapsed, causing all of the other clouds to disappear as well. A shock wave spread out, and within the shockwave a ray of light disappeared.
As the white cloud disappeared, a series of buildings made of spirit stone appeared before Zhan Bai.
Looking at the endless rows of buildings made of spirit stone that didn't seem to end, Zhan Bai's eyes bulged out. He looked for a very long time before letting out a laugh and said, "This Cloud Sky Sect is simply too rich; it is made of spirit stones. Although this scale can't match the Celestial Realm, there aren't many places like this in Suzaku. Haha, from today onward, this place is mine!"
The sect protection formation was easily destroyed. The people inside the Cloud Sky Sect were filled with despair.
Zhan Bai took one step and entered the Cloud Sky Sect. He was surrounded by a 100-foot-thick wall of insects. Some of the female disciples with lower cultivation levels were so scared that they started crying.
Zhan Bai reached out. A few of the Cloud Sky Sect disciples were caught by an invisible force. A group of insects broke off from the horde and jumped onto the disciples. Miserable screams quickly echoed as the disciples were covered by the insects. The insect were crawling all over them, and some of them had even entered their bodies.
Shrill screams landed in the ears of the Cloud Sky Sect's disciples. These screams almost tore their hearts apart.
"Stop!!" Li Muwan jumped up into the air. Around her stood several people. They all stared at Zhan Bai with ugly expressions.
Zhan Bai let out a mischievous smile. He waved his hand and the shrill scream from the disciples became even louder. A few seconds later, the insects came out of their bodies. The disciples suddenly became very weak and fell from the sky.
Li Muwan's face went pale; she could only stare dumbfoundedly at the disciples. Blood leaked out from the corner of her mouth, her body trembled, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Zhan Bai.
With her personality, it was very rare for her to look at someone like that.
Zhan Bai's gaze landed on Li Muwan. He said, "Not bad. You really are a beauty. What is your name?"
Li Muwan remained silent.
"Oh? Not going to speak? That's too bad." Zhan Bai let out a smile and waved his hand. The insects around him spread out and covered the entire Cloud Sky Sect.
Zhan Bai only needed to wave his hand and the insects would jump on any living thing and devour it. Although these insects were only the size of a thumb, they were extremely bloodthirsty.
If one looked closely, they would see that Zhan Bai's eyes were almost exactly the same as these insects'.
"Stop… my name is Li Muwan…" A wave of shame filled Li Muwan. She had no choice; she couldn't just watch the disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect die.
A few days ago, she started sending disciples away, but there were still thousands that decided to stay. The reason these people stayed was because they saw the Cloud Sky Sect as their home. They were willing to fight for their home. Even if they died, they wouldn't regret it.
Even Liu Fei and Song Qing, the two late stage Nascent Soul head elders, decided to stay.
A white-haired old man took a step forward, blocking Li Muwan, and said to Zhan Bai, "Senior, if you have any request, please speak!"
Zhan Bai's eyes lit up. He stared at the old man and said, with contempt, "My demands? My demand is very simple. I'm going to kill all of you, take all the pills, and seal this place to be my personal palace… As for you, your name is Li Muwan? You are very pretty and have a certain grace to you. You can be my maid."
One of the Nascent Soul cultivators who was an old woman shouted, "You go too far!" She was able to reach the Nascent Soul stage because of Li Muwan. When Zhan Bai spoke those words, she lost herself in anger, forgetting the difference in cultivation levels, so she shouted out loud.
Zhan Bai's expression darkened. His eyes became bloodshot as he said, "It looks like I was too kind. Okay, I'll destroy the Cloud Sky Sect!" With that, he waved his right hand and the surrounding insects started to attack everyone.
As for the old woman, when Zhan Bai waved his hand, many insects attacked her. She let out miserable screams. Even her Nascent Soul was devoured.
This scene shook everyone's hearts.
Miserable screams filled the Cloud Sky Sect. Li Muwan let out a sad smile. She then coughed out a mouthful of blood and bit her lower lip.
Even the elders around her were attacked by countless insects. Each of them tried their best to resist, but even the two late stage Nascent soul elders were having a lot of trouble..
These insects were very strange. No treasures or spells seemed to have any effect on them.
At this moment, aside from Li Muwan, everyone in the Cloud Sky Sect was fighting with the insects.
Li Muwan bit her lower lip. Her eyes were filled with despair.
Zhan Bai looked at Li Muwan with interest. He rubbed his chin and said, "To be honest, I have wiped out many sects, and you are the fourth female sect master. Although your cultivation isn't very good, you would make a good host for my parasites."
With that, he pointed at her and a drop of blood suddenly flew out of his finger. The drop of blood turned into a vicious insect that jumped toward Li Muwan.
However, as soon as the insect leapt at her, a black mass appeared on her forehead. The black mass turned into the shape of the small creature which devoured the blood insect.
The blood insect was screaming miserably at first, but that sound slowly faded. The small creature floated around Li Muwan and stared viciously at Zhan Bai.
Zhan Bai was shocked. He looked at the small creature and whispered, "Soul beast?"
Li Muwan pondered. She looked toward the distance and whispered, "Big brother Wang, let us meet in the next life…"
"Big brother Wang? Hahah, could it be that Wang, what was it, Lin?" Zhan Bai let out a laugh. After arriving in Chu, he had heard the name Wang Lin from quite a few people. He even heard it from members of the other sects as they died.
"Your country of Chu is very strange. This Wang Lin seems to be very famous. Who exactly is he?" Zhan Bai let out a loud laugh. His laugh was filled with arrogance. His eyes lit up and he said, with contempt, "I'm now really curious about who this Wang Lin really is. I'm also curious about how you managed to make all of these Nascent Soul cultivators willing to die with you with your cultivation level."
"Because she is my woman. I… am Wang Lin!" a cold voice spoke from behind Zhan Bai.

Lawd. These first weeks of 2018 have been exhausting, both in the physical way of doing all of the things to proceed with adoption on top of all of the things involved in keeping a family of ten running effectively, on top of all of the things that running a business requires, and in the emotional way of exposing our family in this way again. It's so vulnerable to say "yes," when at any time, the answer you receive to your yes can be "no."
Ironically, it feels a lot like that deep-in-your-bones exhaustion of pregnancy. Fitting.
It feels like this time, for us, the journey is happening in hurried spurts on the weekends. For many, that would be a positive, but I work all weekend, so it's challenging. Not a complaint, just something that makes me chuckle every time I hear "Is there ANY way you could complete this and send back to us by Sunday?"
Here are the steps we moved forward this week:
– paid for home study ($2500)
– FBI fieldprints ($100 and yay… we aren't criminals) *I think we were supposed to get Noah and we forgot, so we'll be making a return trip)
– submitted initial home study paperwork
– schedule passport appointments
– completed 1/2 of mandatory training
Here is what needs to be completed early next week:
– finish the remodel project in Owen's room that I began when we applied to adopt baby T in October
– re organize and re configure bedrooms
– deep clean
– complete passports and expedite
– gather documents (I think we have them mostly accessible from foster care)
In the midst of this adoption process, we are also working with DSS on permanency for our foster daughter, affectionately known as bonus kiddo. It's a lot of plates spinning, and again that isn't a complaint. It's such a privilege to walk this with her but it bring attention in such a deep way to the real situation. It's easy to get so caught up in the daily joy she brings to our family, that sometimes we forget that the system is full of beautiful, resilient, amazing kiddos just like her and we cannot be home for them all. Then I work on paperwork for Lucas and I remember that the world is full of adorable, darling, precious kiddos just like him and we cannot be home for them all. It feels so deeply, overwhelmingly heart breaking.

Did you ever know that pomegranate juice has as many as 100 phytochemicals? And that our ancestors had been using this juice since thousand of years for medicinal benefits? Well, there is no denying about that! Throughout history, people have been eating this fruit. Perhaps, this has made pomegranate a popular ingredient of the everyday health diet. There are many more interesting pieces of information about the fruit that you shouldn't miss out. Today I will be revealing to you the 18 fascinating pomegranate health benefits. So, if the fruit never excited you before, I bet now it surely will!
1. Pomegranate for antioxidants
Do you know what gives pomegranate seeds the prepossessing red hue? Polyphenol is the chemical that colours them so vibrantly. The chemical is also a storehouse of antioxidants. In fact, pomegranate has a higher number of antioxidants than most other fruits. These are really helpful in reducing inflammation and protecting the body cells from getting damaged.
2. Pomegranate for vitamin C
Next on my list of pomegranate benefits is the amount of vitamin C present in it. You will be really happy to know that the juice of 1 pomegranate can fulfil up to 40% of your everyday vitamin C requirement. But to get the most nutrient out of it, try to opt for fresh pomegranate juice made at home. This will help you in forming up more collagen in your body. Collagen is the structural protein that keeps your body cells together and maintains them.
3. Pomegranate for prevention of cancer
You will be amazed to know that, recently, pomegranate got itself to the spotlight as an effective food to prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells? Well, the chances are quite high that the juice can reduce the possibilities of this deadly disease. Though bigger studies are yet to be conducted, adding this fruit to your diet right away will be a great idea!
4. Pomegranate for prevention of Alzheimer's disease
Along with a good health, you need a fine memory too. But is there any one food that can help you with both at the same time? Happily, pomegranate, due to so many antioxidants in it can do wonders for you. In fact, the fruit is great not only in protecting your memory but also in preventing you from getting Alzheimer's disease.
5. Pomegranate for digestion
Pomegranate seeds have astonishing health benefits. If you often feel irritation in your gut, these can help you in reducing the inflammation there. At the same time, it will also help you in improving digestion. The seeds secrete the enzymes that improve the functioning of your digestive system. The fruit will be strongly recommended for people with severe diseases like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel symptoms as well.
6. Pomegranate for anti-inflammatory benefits
The fruit of pomegranate has a really high concentration of antioxidants. This is what makes it a powerful anti-inflammatory food. If you have inflammation in your body, you should definitely include this rich fruit in your everyday diet. As a bonus, pomegranate benefits also help you in healing and preventing oxidative stress as well as damage.
7. Pomegranate for prevention of arthritis
You may be struggling with what to eat and what not to eat when arthritis is affecting your body. Though the research is still going on, scientists are sure that pomegranate juice will cause you no further harm. Pomegranate juice has flavonols. Flavonol is the pigment that helps you in healing the symptoms as well as side effects of arthritis.
8. Pomegranate for prevention of heart diseases
This mesmerising fruit benefits your heart the most. If you want to improve blood flow to your heart then pomegranate will do the trick. And what is more fascinating? The seeds of pomegranate promote healthy sugar levels in your blood. These also help in keeping the arteries from getting thick or stiff in the long run. A heart that is healthy is devoid of plaque and has fewer chances of cholesterol building up in the arteries.
9. Pomegranate for blood pressure
If you are drinking pomegranate juice daily, you will notice no blood pressure issues at all. Blissfully, pomegranate juice is the best natural drink for people who have high blood pressure. As a matter of fact, drinking the juice even in small quantities can lower it quite considerably. That means, it is not always important to drink it in large quantities. What is more important is to start having it everyday.
10. Pomegranate for immunity
And here is the happy news for my beloved readers! Pomegranate is not only the fruit of life but it is also the immune-boosting superfood. With a lot of vitamin C, vitamin E, antibacterial and antiviral nutrients, the fruit prevents many kinds of illnesses and fights of infections too. So give your body the best of what nature has to offer you with the sweet and fruity flavour of pomegranate!
11. Pomegranate for vitamins
By now, you would be knowing that pomegranate is powerful enough to endow you with the abundance of vitamin C. So, here is another fact that will please you more. Along with the goodness of vitamin C, the luscious fruit also has vitamin E, vitamin K, folate and potassium. Though getting off the hard covering to dig into the sweet seeds is quite a task, surely 1 pomegranate is worth adding to your everyday diet.
12. Pomegranate for memory
Even though almonds are very popular for their memory-sharpening activities, recent research and studies reveal that drinking at least 8 ounces of pomegranate juice on a daily basis too can do wonders for your memory. I will definitely suggest this drink for school-going children. A delicious glass of this juice everyday can help them improve their learning abilities.
13. Pomegranate for good sports performance
Do pomegranate health benefits hold something for sport lovers too? Certainly, they do! For sport lovers, pomegranate is much more than a nutritious fruit with a taste so delightful. Soreness and reduced strength often limit people who do a lot of sport activities. This fruit can help them in reducing the soreness and recovering the strength. And as a bonus, it also heals the oxidative damage that may have been caused during the activities.
14. Pomegranate for diabetes
I do admit that pomegranate has a very sweet taste, but the sugar in it will never harm you. If truth be told, our forefathers had been using it since centuries as one of the best traditional home remedies for diabetes. It has a decreasing effect on insulin in your body as well as sugar in your blood. The diabetic-friendly fruit will help you in managing the symptoms better.
15. Pomegranate for treating diarrhoea
Pomegranate health benefits make it a powerful food for the treatment of diarrhoea. The fruit plays a very important role in the secretion of enzymes which in turn help in proper digestion. As a home remedy for diarrhoea, you can consider consuming 1 glass of freshly prepared pomegranate juice with 1 teaspoon of honey.
16. Pomegranate for prevention of anemia
Sadly, anemia has become a very common problem for us these days. But even more distressing is that women have become more vulnerable to it. Drinking pomegranate juice during anemia or for preventing it will stimulate the growth of red blood cells. An ample amount of red blood cells in body will help in combating the symptoms.
17. Pomegranate for skin care
Pomegranate is great for your skin too. One of the most interesting facts about pomegranate is that the fruit suits skins of all types. It can easily soothe a dry and itchy skin. At the same time, it can also benefit the oily skin by lessening the production of the oil and replacing it with more glow. The juice, when applied on the skin, penetrates deep within to moisturize and hydrate it. It also prevents the outbreak of pimples and acne.
18. Pomegranate for removing face scars
Here is the most useful of pomegranate health benefits for you. Pomegranate has properties which help in the regeneration of cells in the layers of the skin. In fact, the oil of pomegranate seeds has many skin friendly nutrients that shield the skin with a layer of protection. You can use the oil for protecting your skin from sunburns and damage due to pollution.
Healthy juices need not be full of spinach always to give you the results you want. So, make sure to rock and roll with your bowl of sweet and red pomegranate seeds everyday.

Possible spoilers if you haven't read the first book, "The Cage".
Wow!!! I think this was even better than the first book! After trying and failing to escape the Cage, Cora is betrayed by Cassian, Warden of the Kindred. Now, she's placed in a menagerie, called The Hunt, a safari-like simulated world where humans are held to take Kindred on hunts, as well as perform for them. It's really creepy!
Cassian wants Cora to participate in The Gauntlet to prove that humans are an intelligent species. After his stinging betrayal, she agrees-but on her terms. New characters are introduced and it's unclear who's trustworthy.
Complete with forbidden romance, twisted games, telekinetic powers, and a shocking ending, I really recommend "The Hunt!" I can't wait for book three, "The Gauntlet."

In everyone's memory, there hasn't been a slower start for a legislative session than this session. There are fewer bills filed than in recent memory, and fewer committee hearings and votes on bills. We've had almost no votes on Mondays and Tuesdays, and rarely votes on Thursdays. What few votes have occurred have been taken on Wednesdays. Why is this session different?
My guess is the nearly continuous session in 2018, including several weeks in December, simply delayed work preparing for the Long Session. Staff was working on bills in December for the never-ending Short Session. Returning legislators were still focused on finishing up their work in late 2018 and, like me, weren't able to turn their attention to the upcoming session.
It might seem that I bucked the trend with five bills already filed — one already having passed the House — but the numbers are deceptive. Several of my bills were reworked bills from previous sessions, and two of my bills were worked on by others—one of those coming from the research arm of the legislature, the Program Evaluation Division (PED).
Two of "my bills" are actually bills that I asked another legislator to introduce, with me as a "primary cosponsor" of each bill. In the House, there can be up to four primary cosponsors, with one of the legislators—the one whose name is first on the bill — as the lead sponsor. As a senior member of the House, I feel a responsibility to give more junior members the opportunity to run important bills.
Thus, I asked Rep. Destin Hall (R-Caldwell) to take the lead on House Bill 3 [Eminent Domain] and asked Rep. Robert Reives (D-Chatham) to take the lead on House Bill 69 [Nonpartisan Redistricting Commission]. In both cases, there were additional reasons for asking other members to carry the bills, but both of these bills were bills that came to me when I was a junior member of the House and, with the passage of years, became my responsibility.
Having been on an eminent domain bill since my freshman term, my feeling was that it might be best to let someone else try to pass the bill. If I couldn't get the bill moving in the Senate last year when six constitutional amendments were on the ballot, then someone else should be the face of that amendment. HB3 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit condemnation of private property except for a public purpose and to require the payment of just compensation for the property taken in and among to be determined by a jury trial. The amendment would appear on the primary ballot in the spring of 2020.
The legislation relates back to a U.S. Supreme Court case, Kelo v. City of New London. That case determined what was constitutional under the federal constitution but explicitly stated the states were able to set a higher bar for condemnations under their own constitutions. Additionally, most states have put the requirements for jury trials and just compensation in their constitutions, but North Carolina has not.
In past sessions, the eminent domain bill passed with significant bipartisan support, usually over 100 votes. Yesterday, the vote was 94 to 21. All Republicans who voted supported the constitutional amendment. Democrats supported the bill by a margin of 32 to 21. Some Democrats didn't want North Carolina to have a higher bar for condemnation and some didn't like the scheduling of the constitutional amendment during the 2020 primary, presumably wanting it on the ballot during the 2020 General Election.
HB69 was one of two nonpartisan redistricting bills I've filed. The other one was HB140 [The Fair Act]. The Fairness and Integrity in Redistricting (FAIR) Act is an effort to enact a nonpartisan redistricting bill through a constitutional amendment. H 69 doesn't involve a constitutional amendment; it is a statutory approach to nonpartisan redistricting. H 69 was put together with help from Common Cause and a coalition of organizations interested in redistricting reform. H 140 was put forward with the help of North Carolinians for Nonpartisan Redistricting (NC4RR), a nonprofit working on the redistricting issue. I worked closely with both organizations on these bills.
Rep. Reives is the lead sponsor on H 69, a bill similar to the bills I'd introduced in the past two sessions, and I was a primary cosponsor. I am the lead on H 140 with Rep. Reives as the next cosponsor. Rep. Jon Hardister (R-Guilford) is a primary cosponsor on both. The thought was to put forth two approaches to the same problem, making clear by having similar cosponsors that we were quite willing to take either approach.
H 69 is modeled after Iowa law that had a nonpartisan commission that draws up the congressional and legislative maps following the census. It is similar to the bill that passed the House in 2011, and similar to bills introduced in each session since then. Those bills didn't receive hearings, and that is part of what prompted the drafting of H 140. One advantage to H 69 is that it will only take a majority, no more than 61 votes, to pass. As a proposed constitutional amendment, H 140 would require 72 votes to pass—a 3/5's vote.
Under H 69, the maps would be drawn by an eleven-person commission. The commission would have members of both major parties as well as voters not affiliated with either major party. The commission would hire staff, hold public hearings both before and after the drawing of the maps, and create the maps in a transparent public process.
The commission would be tasked with drawing districts that would be compact, contiguous and abide by federal civil rights laws. No use could be made of political factors including voter registration and turnout, previous election results, or demographic information other than population headcounts.
When the maps drawn by the commission are sent to the legislature, the vote must be on the maps without altering them. If the maps aren't approved, the commission will again draw maps and again they would bring them back to the legislature for approval. If not approved, the commission gets one more shot. After that, the legislature is free to draw its own maps. In Iowa, the commission has never drawn the maps more than twice and usually just once. It seems when the process is transparent and is viewed as nonpartisan, that legislators are more likely to vote for nonpartisan maps — at least, that is the idea.
Under H 140, the constitutional amendment brings three main changes to North Carolina's redistricting process by establishing transparent methods, prohibiting the use of partisan data, and mandating that districts are drawn sensibly. Unlike under H 69, map drawing would be done by nonpartisan legislative staff, but similarly to H 69 the legislature couldn't amend the maps on the first, two votes. Only after two sets of maps drawn by staff without direction from legislators were disapproved would legislators be able to create their own maps. Again, the view is that legislators are not likely to get to the third stage given an open process that includes no political data.
Both H 69 and H 140 received significant bipartisan support. Between the two bills, over 70 House Members cosponsored one or both of the bills.
Of course, the question is why anyone should expect action on these bills this year. For proponents of nonpartisan redistricting there is a near perfect storm. First, with redistricting required after the next census in 2021, it isn't clear which party will be in charge. When Democrats were in charge, Republicans supported nonpartisan redistricting. Now that Republicans are in charge, Democrats support nonpartisan redistricting. If neither party is clearly going to be in charge of redistricting, the hope is that both parties will opt for nonpartisan redistricting.
Second, there is a real clear chance that redistricting will be done by a court if the legislature doesn't take action. Cases are moving forward in both federal and state courts, and either the U.S. Supreme Court or the North Carolina Supreme Court could find partisan redistricting to be unconstitutional. Legislators may be motivated to fix the problem before they lose control of the redistricting process.
My view and the view of others is that this session is our best opportunity to address the issue of nonpartisan redistricting. However, even with a majority of legislators supporting both of these bills, the decision as to whether the bills will get heard will be made by legislative leaders, like Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) and other Republican leaders.
Other bills I've introduced are HB14 [Reconstitute Various Boards and Commissions] and HB91 [ABC Modernization/PED Study]. The first is a bill to fix certain boards and commissions that were deemed to be unconstitutionally constituted by the North Carolina Supreme Court in Cooper v. Berger. The second is a bill put forward by the research arm of the legislature proposing to modernize our alcoholic beverage laws. More on these bills later.

Hi mandolin world!
Just thought I would post a video of me and my friends playing one of my original songs. Can't think of many times I've heard an octave mandolin and Irish bouzouki together in a folk trio, but we had a lot of fun recording in my living room! My octave is a beautiful Old Wave guitar bodied octave. Mr. Bussman makes amazing instruments and I can't praise my OM enough...I absolutely adore it. My friend Yaniv plays a Joe Foley bouzouki that is lovely too!
Thanks for listening and happy picking!!

Yesterday I hit the 3rd trimester. This has been the fastest pregnancy ever. I keep begging the universe for more time. An elephants gestation period or something. But the universe just seems to be laughing at my requests.
I've been rather sick and on temporary disability from work. Feeling like a big ol loser at the moment. But I know a lot of that is hormones, and that this too shall pass.
I haven't done any modeling, etc. due to being ill. But I will be taking some maternity pictures soon. I have zero interest in little chalkboards or making a heart with my hands in front of my belly. No desire to hold tiny sneakers next to my bump or use alphabet blocks that spell out his name. And I'm definitely not feeling those awkward pics where the expecting couple embraces each other while topless and making googly eyes at her belly.
I'm really wanting to do some post-apocalyptic boudoir/maternity type of pictures. Though folks give me a weird side-eye when I tell them that lol.
So because people are nosy and have been asking. Yes, I am pregnant (again). This will be baby number 6. Yep, another (adorable) biracial baby. And no, I haven't done any scenes or anything else like that.

Answering the Call of Grace with Tim Welsh
This time of year especially, thoughts turn to the role of faith in our lives. "Keeping the Faith" — faith of any kind: in a religion, in our society and in our future –might be a battle. But it's a battle worth waging and winning. Moving stories like this one from an amazing man and community leader help a great deal. Watch Tim's incredible story of his birth. Watch it here

Grown with the sun, from seeds that we save. Our cannabis is Sun & Earth Certified and Pure Certified on a multigenerational farm that focuses on the triple bottom line.
Multigenerational Family Farm
Our off the grid solar powered farm is a micro-scale, multigenerational operation consisting of three gardens that total about an acre in production, most of which are vegetables. We run a small CSA and participate in two farmers markets during the growing season. We intercrop medical cannabis and vegetables in the same row and practice no-till methods with a focus on low soil disruption and water conservation.
Sun + Earth Certfication
In addition to regenerative farming practices, Sun + Earth Certification also addresses
the rights of farm workers, who as a social group within agriculture have long been exploited and
marginalized. Current organic standards don't deal with worker rights, but if a farmer wants to describe
their farm as regenerative, shouldn't farm workers also be treated fairly? Regenerative farming is
intended to renew the ecosystem and people—this means caring for farm workers.
Pure Certificate redefines what the Cannabis industry sees as pure, clean medicine. Pure certification involves education and the highest of beyond organic gardening standards with nature as a guide.
This certification is an agreement, a mutual understanding of true health and commitment to safe guard the integrity of this master plant's reputation. It recognizes the highest growing practices for healthy, clean medicine.
Emerald Cup Regenerative Cannabis Farm Award
The Regenerative Cannabis Award is designed to be a catalyst of positive competition filled with information sharing, land stewardship, ethical marketing, watershed consciousness and love of nature, living soil and biodiversity. The goal of the award is to educate people about what regenerative cultivation techniques are and how they can be adopted to help us grow the highest quality, pure medicine that truly expresses the terroir of farm.
The Triple Bottom Line
We strive to value on equal footings our community, the ecology of our farm, and the economic factors that make it viable. We believe in a regenerative agriculture that increases bounty over time; we strive to build soil and water-holding capacity, and to enrich habitat for wildlife. We raise chickens, rabbits, and occasionally pigs for our own consumption, and for the added fertility that animals help produce.
Fruity or Fuely?
Every strain has it's own flavor and scent characteristics. Some people prefer fuely tones, while others might be looking for a strain with some fruity flavor. Most of what we grow falls into what we called the "fruitoleum" category but we also grow specific trains that are defined in every direction. Our strains are award winning, DEM PURE certified medicine, and we hope that you will sample our selection when you get the opportunity. You can find our medicine by clicking the button below.

Advanced Design and Manufacturing
We managed—with a team of engineers, architects, designers, technicians and qualified woodworkers—to design and make a modern vehicle that competes on the international level against the large RV brands. Instead of imposing one vision on the market, we gathered the finest ingredients from the RV market in Europe, Asia and North America and blended them into a unique northern concept.
More Light, more LEDs
With the largest windows in the industry and abundant light in the Panoramic, we have also added a large skylight on the ceiling. Located over the table of the dinning room, it provides an amazing luminosity and efficient aeration.
Three sets of ambient LED lights work in combination to showcase the best moments inside the Panoramic.
Above the sliding door, a continuous LED light also serves as gutter to keep running water off the door and out of the vehicle.
A Flexible Environment
Swivel driver and passenger seats allow full use of the cab area, transforming the grand dinner area into a comfortable Cinema room.
The sliding dinner table with its rotating extension allows seating up to four people when you want to invite guests over for a meal. The table can also be transformed into a third bed at night.
A Restroom to Make You Feel at Home
The Panoramic offers more space and greater ease of use. Thanks to a lot of ingenuity, we created a shower room that offers unparalleled comfort and luxury with a porcelain toilet, a molded fiberglass shower base, a shower curtain, a mirror, storage space and concealed LED lighting. We also reinvented the space with sliding drum doors to offer maximum privacy while not obstructing the vehicle's walking space.
A Bedroom Worthy of the Name
A flexible, permanent 57″ X 76″ flip-up bed with a wooden slat base and a superior-quality mattress that provides unequalled comfort. A secondary flat screen TV and reading lights will entertain everyone before bedtime, and a retractable step will allow easier access to the bed.
All controls—whether they are for adjusting lighting or the heating and air conditioning—are at the head of the bed. You will no longer need to get up for an adjustment during the night.
Lots of Space to Store All Your Dreams!
Tall and wide food galley with 5 trays to store small jars and big cereals boxes.
A rather big wardrobe for coats, suits and dresses for special occasions.
A large (200US gal/750L) cargo area under the foldable bed, allow large items such as bikes, golf bags, kayaks, BBQ, camping chairs, etc.
Special space for wine enthusiasts to store 5 wine bottles
We found some storage space where others did not think of looking.
Perfect Temperature
Thanks to superior insulation, the Panoramic can be used in cold and hot weather. The vehicle will maintain the desired temperature with ease whether you are using the air conditioning down south or fighting the Arctic breeze up north. The Advanced Truma system for heating that also serves as a water heater is so impressively silent that you won't notice it is in operation while you sleep. With a 90% efficiency, the Truma offers the latest technology and the lowest energy consumption possible. An optimal airflow distribution is created using five vents distributed throughout the vehicle. The easy monitoring panel also allow you to adapt to the various energies available and all the functions can be scheduled with the integrated timer at various periods of the day. For hot days, the air conditioner will keep it cool inside and outside with its futuristic, aerodynamic lines.
Electric Entry Step
An aluminum electric step will facilitate entering and exiting the vehicle but will also retract automatically when the ignition is turned ON.
Mosquito and Bug Protection
The Panoramic comes with one mosquito net for the sliding door and one for the back doors to avoid letting any intruders in. The skylight is also equipped with its own mosquito net.
Insulated Wheel Wells
The wheel wells are insulated to absorb road noises.

Quill Gordon Spinners - Part 2
In the event you are lucky enough to be fishing the Quill Gordon hatch during the
time the spinners fall, I wanted to provide a few more tips that I think would help.
Repeating some of what I wrote yesterday - if you happen to be fishing when the
skies are heavily overcast, the spinner fall may occur during legal fishing hours. I
mentioned this because I received about six email's yesterday asking about the
legal fishing hours. It is legal to fish in the park on a year-round basis as long as it is
from 30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset. Often, the
spinner fall takes place after legal fishing hours. If there's a clear sky, you will most
likely not see it before 30 minutes after official sunset. I'm not suggesting anyone is
going to lock you up and give you 30 days in th electric chair for fishing after that
time, but I'm also not going to advise anyone to ignore the park rules.
If you are fishing on a day a hatch occurs, most likely there will be a spinner fall that
same day. If you continue to fish late in the day and continue to keep looking twenty
or thirty feet above the stream for spinners, you would probably notice them. You
probably wouldn't unless you were looking for it. The males will dance up and down
to attract the females when they first congregate. In just a few minutes, the females
will join them and mating will take place in mid air. The males will fall wherever they
happen to hit, on the water or on the banks, depending on wind. You probably will
not be able to see the mayflies on the surface of the water. Shortly thereafter, the
females will start depositing their eggs on the surface of the water. They usually dip
down and touch the water to knock the eggs off. When they have done that, they
will also fall dead on the surface in a spent position.
It takes almost a perfect lighting situation and they don't fall when the skies are clear
during the day. They fall when there's low light conditions. Again, if it's cloudy this
could be earlier than the hours listed above or if not, it most likely will be almost dark
when it occurs. Also, the later in the season or I should say, the warmer the air and
water, the later they will fall.
By the end of March, if there's still any hatches going on in the mid to higher
elevations, this situation will not occur during legal fishing hours unless it is very
cloudy during the afternoon.
The best way to present the spinner imitation is to cast up and across at the
of riffles and runs.
The naturals will fall on the fast water, but the trout will be
farther downstream looking for them where they collect in the seams of the current.
That is where you want to place your fly. It's sometimes difficult to notice a take. You
have to pay close attention to the end of your fly line and leader. It will be difficult to
see the fly or the takes most of the time. In fact, you will sometimes pick up the line
to cast and discover there's a fish on.
This is our
Perfect Fly imitation
of a Quill Gordon spinner. It is made of goose or
turkey biots with wrappings that show the very obvious segmentation of a Quill
Gordon's abdomen. The wings are hen feathers which will appear to loose their
white color when wet and look more like the transparent wings of the natural. The
tails are very long. Quill Gordon spinners have amazingly long tails. The thorax is
dubbed and capped with molted turkey quill.
Down and Dirty (some are clean) Tips and Recommendations for Fly
Fishing Destinations - Part 27
ust keep in mind that it is strictly one opinion that happens to be mine. The intent is to hopefully
give those interested a general idea of what to expect. Most likely every guide, affiliated business
entity and local angler will have a different opinion. These streams also have full coverage on our
Perfect Fly Stream Section.
Green River Wyoming
This is the Green River you hear little about. It's the same Green River that is highly
promoted which flows into Utah and creates a fine tailwater at Flaming Gorge. One
reason it isn't that well known is its close proximity to many other good trout streams.
It flows though the little town of Pinedale on a route many anglers take to Jackson
Hole. That's about the only point a major highway crosses its...get
one-hundred and forty mile length
There's several areas you can fish the Green River. I won't repeat what's in the
Perfect Fly stream section
but I will note the upper headwaters, a few places in the
general area of Pinedale and the tailwater below Fontenelle Reservoir are the
better areas of this very long river. It has trout throughout its length but much of it
flows through private property.
The tailwater section is a sleeper.
It's so far from
anything it is rarely promoted but I will assure you, it's an excellent tailwater with
some huge trout. The river has cutthroats, brown and rainbow trout.

College Students Remain Hopeful at RTNDA Despite Dim Job Prospects
NAB 2009: Complete Coverage from Broadcasting & Cable
Kayla Smith, a junior at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, has envisioned a career in TV news since she was a little kid. She'd watch Today with her father, and dad and daughter alike would daydream about Kayla someday making like Katie.
"He'd say, you should be just like Katie Couric—then I'll be able to see you every day," says Smith, taking a break from walking the floor at the RTNDA show in Las Vegas last week.
Job prospects are certainly dimmer than when many of this group of journalistic hopefuls declared their majors. Station groups have laid off lots of workers, and the past year has been especially cruel to on-air talent. And while attendance was relatively light in Vegas last week (the NAB confab was down about 20%), scores of college students still turned up at RTNDA to pick up reporting skills, chat with news directors and hang their resumes on the overflowing corkboard.
The students know full well that they'll have to catch a serious break to land a job, a fact of life they say their professors remind them of almost daily. While most seem to project optimism about their career prospects (ah, to be 20 again), Smith, who paid around $750 for airfare, registration and hotel, is taking a realistic view. She's lightened her class load a bit to put off graduation until, she hopes, the economy improves. She's also minoring in business—and may even boost it up to a double major. "That's my safety net," says Smith, dressed in a neat blue suit as she monitors activity at the resume board.
Many remain confident that their ability to shoot, edit and file for the Web suits them well in a local TV world where a high-priced anchor is frequently dumped in favor of a cadre of cheaper multimedia journalists. "It's a scary time, but the industry is changing, and college students are armed with a lot of knowledge that a lot of [news veterans] may not have," says Cal Poly senior Courtney Meznarich, who works at the university's CPTV station. "I can shoot and edit my own stuff. I think that makes us valuable to a potential employer."
Indeed, while resumes in years past might simply state "reporter," this year's batch played up the aspirant's ability to multitask—frequently showing a hyphen linking two or more job titles. Students are active bloggers, Web producers and Facebookers. "We grew up in the Internet," says Samantha Grillo, 21, as she walks the floor with Meznarich. "We've been using it since we were kids."
How 'tweet' it is
Multimedia tidbits were there for the taking at RTNDA. One that stood out for Emerson College senior Chris Hurst was stations using GPS technology to hyper-target users' mobile devices with geographically relevant breaking news.
While Twitter is certainly the new-media program of the moment, most students at RTNDA did not seem to be actively using it. But after the Twitter 101 session at the Hilton, many say they realized the platform has far greater potential than simply a user telling the cyber-world that he is, in fact, considering a BLT on rye for lunch.
KOMU Columbia, Mo., New Media Director Jen Reeves likened Twitter to a police scanner for its ability to spark news tips. She and co-presenter Kelly Hicks of KCTV Kansas City showed attendees how to effectively search Twitter for timelier news than Google might offer, and passed along a list of do's and don'ts that should end up taped on numerous newsroom walls.
The high-energy session seemed to win over converts among the students, who made up the bulk of the attendees at Twitter 101. "I'll probably sign up as soon as I go home," Smith says.
Reeves says the young RTNDA attendees seemed to comprehend that they need to master every trick in the newsgathering book to land a position. "With stations' revenue down, they need to be self-sufficient as reporters," she says. "Students realize it's not just TV—they need to think differently about reaching an audience than broadcast journalists used to."
As much as the students were consuming tips on newfangled newsgathering, they also soaked up timeless advice from the sage news vets walking the floor. Hurst was somewhat heartened to hear that the notion of a graduating class facing dim job prospects was as old as television itself.
"A couple of news directors I spoke to said it was tough for them when they got out of college, too," he says. "It's always going to be tough."

cuban panini
I can't say that I'm now a pickle fanatic... but I did buy the first jar of pickles I've ever bought last week, to make this sandwich.
I know this isn't a super traditional Cuban sandwich made with real Cuban bread. But you can get that same crusty, hard exterior by grilling the bread and making a panini.
Roasted pork tenderloin is the star of this sandwich. I just used a Smithfield pre-marinated 1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin to make my life easy. You could also season your own pork tenderloin and roast it that way.
Slicing the pork in thin slices keeps it from being too tough and chewy. You want it to be moist and tender for this sandwich.
The roasted pork is layered with sliced deli ham, cheese, pickles and a mustard/mayo mixture. I pressed it on my panini grill to get that melty, crunchy goodness. Hello, lovely.
The roasted pork is so flavorful, and mixed with smoked ham and the crunchy pickle... it's such a great combination of textures and flavors.
Cuban sandwiches are a favorite of mine, so this panini is a big winner in my book. It saved me from a week-long chicken extravaganza. Embrace your inner pork and make this sandwich.
Cuban Panini
Makes 4 sandwiches
1 1/2 pound pre-marinated Peppercorn Garlic pork tenderloin (I used Smithfield)
1/2 pound sliced smoked ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 "stackers" style pickles (I used Vlasic)
4 tablespoons honey mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
8 slices sourdough bread
Cooking Spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an uncovered, shallow pan (I used a 13x9) with cooking spray. Place tenderloin in pan and bake for 20 minutes per pound or until meat thermometer reads 145-150 degrees internal temperature. Let rest for 10 minutes before making small, 1/4 inch slices.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together mustard and mayonnaise to make the sauce. Set aside.
To assemble the sandwiches, layer even amounts of pork, ham, cheese and pickles on 4 slices of the bread. You may not use all the pork, so just put the extra slices in a container and refrigerate for another time. On the other 4 slices, spread your mustard/mayo sauce. Place the sandwiches on a panini press coated with cooking spray, or grill them in a frying pan on the stovetop. Be sure to press down a bit so everything melts together. Serve immediately.

Could I use lettuce as a replacement for the bread?ReplyDelete

Hemp stocks are on investors' radars in 2019. The passing of the new US Farm Bill has legalized hemp entirely across America by removing its status as a Schedule 1 controlled substance and making it an agricultural commodity.
Now, the hemp industry is estimated to grow significantly in size; in 2018 it was valued at approximately $800 million USD, but by 2022, that number is expected to become over $20 billion USD. Not surprisingly, hemp stocks have reacted exceptionally well to this news.
With this in mind, we are looking at Hempco Food and Fiber today; arguably one of the most traded small-cap hemp stocks at present. Hempco is tapping into an emerging industry on the verge of exploding.
Hemp Stock: Hempco Food and Fiber (TSXV:HEMP)
To give you perspective, Hempco has added over 70% to its market cap since the Farm Bill passed. Now, it is worth $74.6 million CAD at press time.
Approximately 919,000 shares traded hands on Tuesday this week, indicating the stock's current popularity. This was an increase of 172% from its average daily trading volume.
Today, however, shares are down almost 10%, and currently selling for $1.22 CAD. Looking at this hemp stock though, this is simply a fluctuating period as investors figure out what way to move on this popular stock. HEMP stock is swapping hands at a fast pace.
About Hempco Food and Fiber
Based in Vancouver, Hempco produces and distributes hemp food products for human and animal consumption. It counts the US, Canada, Europe, and Mexico as its markets. Obviously, the US market will now be substantially bigger for the company in 2019, and this is driving investor excitement as of late.
>> HEXO Stock: Pros and Cons to Consider for Cannabis Beverage Market
It also helps that the company is owned by one of cannabis's biggest brands, Aurora Cannabis (TSX:ACB) (NYSE:ACB). In fact, it really helps. Because this means we could be looking at more than just a hemp stock. Are we looking at Aurora mark 2? And if so, there's every chance that Hempco will mimic Aurora's success. It is an advantageous fact the company has over its peers.
With a hemp stock like this, investors have the opportunity of getting in at the earliest stages of the updated US hemp industry, with a company that could easily follow in Aurora's successful cannabis industry footsteps.
You can see the appeal.

Industrial Oils
Regal R&O ISO 150
Regal® R&O oils are turbine oils designed to give
outstanding performance in steam and hydroelectric
Regal R&O ISO 150
Regal R&O oils provide rust protection, oxidation inhibition, and foam suppression.
They pass the Fresh Water Corrosion Test (ASTM D665, Procedure A), and the severe Synthetic Sea Water Rust Test (ASTM D665, Procedure B).
The thermal and oxidation stability of these lubricants, due to their high level of refinement, has been further enhanced by their unique ashless, zinc-free formulation. The high thermal and oxidation stability help protect against oxidation deposit formation or the generation of acidic material.
Regal R&O oils have very good demulsibility characteristics allowing quick release of moisture.
Regal R&O oils minimize entrained air which otherwise could result in low lubricant film strength between moving parts and pump cavitation.
Regal R&O oils ISO 32 through ISO 150 are recommended for use in most electric motor bearings, air compressors, gears, hydroelectric turbines, steam turbines, marine turbines, and non-heavy duty hydraulic systems where OEM recommends R&O type oils (for heavy duty hydraulic systems, customers should consider Rando HD oils).
These products can also be used as a general purpose machine oil for shop use when R&O type oil is needed or is recommended. The multifunctional characteristics of Regal R&O type oils may allow them to replace other special application lubricants, which can result in reduced inventory and operating cost.

6 Luxury Cars That Get 30 (or 40)+ MPG
Luxury doesn't have to lack fuel economy. Whether you are looking to save some money on gas or want to be more conscious of your carbon footprint, these luxury models are both stunning and efficient.
Cadillac ATS
Pros: The Cadillac ATS is a luxury car that handles like a sports sedan. Fun to drive and EPA rated, the car's 2.5-liter base level gets up to 33 mpg on the highway.
The sportier 272-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine gets a solid 22/31 mpg. It's got a beautiful interior and is full of luxury features, including a Bose sound system, an in-car WiFi hotspot, dual-zone automatic climate control, predictive navigation, and customizable, cloud-based driver profiles. The ATS starts around $36,000.
Cons: The car is the smallest model offered by Cadillac. The backseat is small for passengers, and the car handles more like a sports car than a luxury cruiser. If MPG is your main concern, you could also do better than 31 highway with some other cars in this list.
Mercedes-Benz CLA 250
Pros: This car takes gas mileage a step above your standard luxury sedan. The 4-door sedan option of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 has a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission.
In the city, this car gets an estimated 24 mpg, paired with an impressive 37 mpg on the highway. This beautiful Mercedes has several sought-after luxury features, including automatic emergency braking, Apple CarPlay, and an extensive options package.
Cons: As with many high gas mileage cars, this car trades space for efficiency, and the interior cabin is tight on space.
Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Premiere
Pros: This beautiful car is well-loved by buyers who want to feel luxurious while reducing environmental impact. The standard Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Premiere has a 2.0-liter, 188hp hybrid gas engine, as well as a 2-speed CVT transmission with overdrive.
All combined, this one gets an estimated 38 mpg on the highway and 41 around the city. Loaded with technology and safety-focused features and airbags, this car does well with people looking for both safety and fuel economy.
Cons: Acceleration isn't as strong as some of this car's competitors. If you're willing to sacrifice some fuel economy for performance, you could try the supercharged V6.
Lexus ES 300h Base
Pros: This hybrid rival to the Lincoln MKZ gets 39 mpg on the highway, and it is faster in a straight line than its competitor. The standard features include a 2.5-liter 200hp hybrid gas engine, 2-speed CVT transmission with overdrive. The major selling points of this car include its top-notch fuel economy, spacious cabin, and beautiful interior.
Cons: The brakes on this car are touchy, which negatively affects the driving experience. Also, the system's infotainment technology is finicky, unlike cars with AppleCar Play or Andriod Auto.
BMW 328d RWD Sedan
Pros: A fun-to-drive diesel engine with impressive fuel economy, this BMW's base includes a 2.0-liter 180hp intercooled turbo engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. At 48 mpg on the highway, this car is great on fuel economy.
This car is one of the few diesel sedans still out there. It's hard to beat BMW's ride handling, performance, and balance — which is a major pro of this car and others in the 3 series.
Cons: Especially with options, this car can get expensive fast. Also, the standard features leave something to be desired, and the tech is lagging.
Jaguar XE 20d Premium RWD
Pros: This diesel engine gets up to 42 mpg on the highway, making it a great luxury choice for the fuel-minded consumer. The standard features of the Jaguar XE 20d Premium include Ingenium 2.0-liter engine 4-cylinder diesel, 180hp intercooled turbo engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
This car also comes with 17″ aluminum wheels, cruise control, ABS and driveline traction control, and electronic stability. The transmission drives smoothly, and the acceleration is decent considering its fuel economy. The infotainment tech is also well done, a big pro in 2019.
Cons: The lack of cabin space makes this car uncomfortable for tall drivers and passengers. Also, this car is known to have poor road noise intrusion and can get loud on the highway.

Most folks use PuTTY for terminal emulation and SSH tunneling, but there's a much more capable tool out there - Xshell. In a... nutshell, XShell gives the power of SecureCRT at zero price:
- free for personal use - just like PuTTY
- Tabbed sessions - extremely useful when connecting to many servers
- ZMODEM transfer support. This means you can use the handy
szcommands to quickly transfer a file to/from the remote host without having to fire up a SCP or SFTP client. Just run
sz myfile.txtand XShell will receive the request and offer to save the remote file
myfile.txtlocally. PuTTY doesn't really want to implement ZMODEM support.
- find text in buffer - a very simple and useful feature that PuTTY doesn't have
- public key authentication (includes key generator)
- connection via SOCKS proxy
- mouse input support (try running Midnight Commander - you can use the mouse in its interface) and automatic copying to clipboard when the mouse button is released - I loved these about PuTTY
- URL hyperlinking - not in PuTTY
- SFTP support
- send screen/all buffer to Notepad (this is much more handy than you imagine)
- instant color scheme switch - very useful because white text on black screens is NOT the most readable color scheme
- transparency, full screen mode, minimize to system tray
- can define custom series of commands and assign them to toolbar buttons
- tree-based session storage (PuTTY has a single crammed list)
- active support forum
- drawbacks:
- not open sourced
- 11Mb installer leaving only 3Mb in the installation directory. What is the rest of the junk about?
- sessions are saved to files but you can't configure the directory; thus, configuration files end up scattered in several on your disk(s)
- can't remap the keyboard. By comparison, ZOC can remap it almost completely. For example, you can assign Ctrl+Left/Right arrows to send Alt+B/Alt+F.
- slower display refresh than PuTTY

I'm sure you've heard the term PASSIVE DESIGN & PASSIVE HOUSE? – Well here's what it's all about.
Let's start with three common questions that may help you understand their differences.
What's the difference between the two terms?
What is the best option?
How do I know which to choose?
A brief overview of their differences.
Passive Design, in a nut shell, is a set of design principles. These include, orientation, shading, insulation, glazing, thermal mass, passive heating and passive cooling. When consideration is made to best adopt these principles to your home design you will see significant improvement in year round comfort and efficiency.
Passive House, on the other hand, is a building standard. Your home will be designed and constructed to reach the highest standard of comfort and air quality in the world. The use of building science and complex mathematics precisely calculates the efficiency performance of your new home. We have more information on this in our upcoming E Books soon to be available on our website.
What is the best option?
Let's get straight to the point……..The answer is Passive House! That being said Passive House uses Passive Design principles (along with many other criteria and construction details) to help reach its vigorous criteria to achieve Passive House Standard. Where Passive house out performs Passive Design is in the detail. Air tightness and thermal bridging is accurately calculated and absolutely minimised. Air quality is managed using mechanical ventilation to achieve the highest standard. Products used such as specialized windows, draft sealing, insulation, and more, are independently tested by the Passive House Institute to ensure they meet the exact performance that's required.
Which should I choose?
Firstly, Passive House is in its infancy in Australia. This is great news for the future improvement of building standards. Around the world we have seen the introduction of Passive House having a progressive influence on established building standards. The down side has been the cost, and initial complexities that early adopters can face.
At Passive Builders we are introducing Passive House details that work best with Australia's traditional building techniques. Simple changes in the way we design wall junctions and an understanding of thermal bridging, and how to minimise, can be easily adopted. Alongside Passive Design principle's we are creating a new standard in quality and comfort assurance.
Our goal is a 'high performance' home. A home that has evolved from traditional building methods for absolute comfort, efficiency and quality.

Summer/winter load peak management
The French Alps sky resort "La Clusaz" is fed by a single 150-kV line. In the winter season, load increases very strongly, while it is very low in summer.
To manage this load increase in winter, the grid operator faces a large investment for only a few months use.
Ampacimon solution:
Installing the Ampacimon solution on this line granted a 40% increase in capacity of the existing line, and allows smooth operation during winter load peaks.
• ADR View
• ADR Sense
• ADR Operate
• ADR Trend
• ADR Horizon
« Data supplied by the Ampacimon system are constantly taken into account by our dispatchers, not only during normal operational but even more during tense situations. Our grid's true real time limitations are therefore properly monitored at all times. Thanks to this very efficient investment, Elia can regularly avoid or defer the use of very costly grid actions. »

By Khine Kyaw
The Nation
Japan ranks as just the 10th biggest investor in the country, accounting for only 1 per cent of the aggregate foreign direct investment inflows.
That is set to change after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) and Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Myanmar (JCCM) on Wednesday night.
"Now our dream has come true. This MoU clearly states that we are eager to cooperate with Myanmar businesses for mutual benefits. We will discuss further details about our cooperation with UMFCCI in the near future," said Katsuji Nakagawa, president of JCCM.
Nakagawa said the recent international reports on conflicts in Rakhine State could not fade away Japanese businesses' attitude towards Myanmar.
"Our interest will go on, and we will continue investing here. We will ensure every possible effort to help Japanese businesses do business here," he said.
Nakagawa considers electricity and infrastructure projects as the priority areas of Japanese firms eyeing to invest in the nation. He believes the agreement will lead to a business environment for both parties, as it will help foster Japanese investments and technical transfer.
At the event, Japanese ambassador Tateshi Higuchi hailed the agreement as a "tangible illustration of Japan's full engagement".
He said the Japanese private sector has been fostering engagement with Myanmar businesses in the past few years. He stressed the importance of Myanmar-Japan joint initiative and the implementation of Myanmar-Japan Centre for strengthening bilateral ties.
The envoy said Japan would contribute 800 billion yens to help improve urban development in Yangon as well as transportation and electricity infrastructure development across the nation.
Higuchi expects to see the Japanese government's high-ranking official visit to Myanmar in the weeks to come. He said the two countries could closely cooperate in various projects on public-private partnership scheme.
"I strongly believe the year 2018 tends to be the light of dawn for Myanmar," he said.
Zaw Min Win, president of UMFCCI, said bilateral relations became much stronger during the current government's term.
"After signing this MoU, we believe we will see significant development in bilateral trade and investment, particularly in infrastructure projects such as electricity supply and transport as well as agriculture, industry, services sectors. We expect more Japanese investments in the near future," he said.
According to the chamber's head, bilateral trade has increased two-fold, driven by government-to-government and business-to-business cooperation. To him, Thilawa special economic zone sets a good example for foreign investors.
"From 1995 to 2017, we have signed 15 MoUs of cooperation with various Japanese chambers and specialised regional business organisations. This signing ceremony today will be another important milestone for cooperation between Myanmar and Japanese business communities," he said.
Maung Maung Lay, vice president of UMFCCI, said the chamber would create a lot of rooms for improvement in a bid to foster cooperation in all sectors.
"Myanmar is still a critical hub for foreign businesses. Our country is like a virgin who has been surrounded by a large number of men who love to propose her," he said.
Aung Kyi Soe, general secretary of UMFCCI, said the new deal could benefit Myanmar's automobile industry, and improve capacity building and human resources development.
Phyo Min Thein, prime minister of the Yangon region government, said the MoU signing would be the first step to foster bilateral relations, particularly in Yangon where most of the bilateral activities are held.

Isle of Man TT 2020
Book for TT 2020 with the Isle of Man's official travel provider. TT 2020 dates: Saturday 30th May to Friday 12th June 2020 (Senior Race day). Book your ferry, flight and accommodation with VisitIOM.co.uk , a secure local website run by an official TT travel agency on the Isle of Man. Your TT holiday package booking is financially protected by ABTA and ATOL.
The TT Races (which stands for Tourist Trophy Races) began in 1907 and is a world renowned motorbike race on the Isle of Man, with all the thrills that can only truly be appreciated in person. Bikes fly by spectators with such jaw-dropping speed that it will leave you lost for words. The fastest speed recorded on the TT is 206 mph in 2015 by Kawasaki rider James Hillier on his Ninja H2R. In 2018 Peter Hickman recorded the fastest ever lap on the Mountain course with a speed of 135.452 mph on Smiths BMW.
Running over 2 weeks, with the last week in May for practice and the first week in June for racing, the Tourist Trophy Races form the major part of the Isle of Man TT Festival. Held on the Snaefell Mountain course, a closed road circuit, riders have competed to complete a number of the 37.73 mile laps since 1907 ranging from sea level to over 1300 feet.
The TT week includes 9 races covering vehicles from traditional race bikes through to sidecars and, since 2010, has included the "TT Zero" race which replaced the TTXGP race. These have the goal of racing without using carbon fuels and to have zero toxic/noxious emissions.
The highlight of the TT Races is the Senior TT which runs, weather permitting, on the Friday of race week for the Maruis de Mouzilly St.Mars trophy. Running for 6 laps the race record is a staggering 1 hour 45 minutes and 20.394 seconds for the 236.38 mile race distance.
With average lap speeds of just under 132 mph this is not a spectator sport for the faint hearted and, with huge numbers visiting for the TT Festival each year, booking well in advance is highly recommended.
TT race schedule 2020
Qualifying takes place from Saturday 30th May to Friday 5th June 2020 between 6:20 pm – 8:50 pm.
Race dates will be as followed
Saturday 6th June 2020
Monday 8th June 2020
Wednesday 10th June 2020
Friday 12th June 2020
Please note this schedule is subject to change by the event organisers or through inclement weather.
