MedusaLocker Ransomware
MedusaLocker Ransomware has been active since September 2018, being distributed through phishing pages and attached directly to emails.
A SentinelOne report outlines some of the features of MedusaLocker. When executed, MedusaLocker will check that "EnableLinkedConnections" is set to 1, in order to allow it to encrypt mapped drives at will. It will change the setting and restart "LanmanWorkstation" to allow access to remote, mapped drives. MedusaLocker will attempt to terminate the processes of some security applications, as well as processes associated with malware analysis.
It will stop services such as Apache, MS SQL, and QuickBooks services, to make their data files available for encryption. As is common to ransomware, shadow copies and backups are deleted, and MedusaLocker also disables the system startup recovery options. Files are encrypted using AES 256 with the key encrypted using an RSA-2048 public key. After encrypting files, MedusaLocker will sleep for a short period of time and then search for any new files eligible for encrypting.
It will also configure a scheduled task to repeat the process at 15 or 30 minute intervals. A ransom note will be left in each directory which contains encrypted files that instructs the victim to contact the email addresses provided in the ransom note to obtain a decryption key.

Every year, thousands of people are diagnosed with pre-cancerous conditions, news that may induce fear and panic in those receiving it. While pre-cancer that goes unchecked may ultimately become cancerous, it's not a guarantee and, in many cases, not even likely.
High doses of ionizing radiation may damage organs and cause blood diseases or neurologic disorders. So how can something so potentially lethal be used to treat cancer?
Lumps are not the only symptom for breast cancer. Learn about the others.
For years, scientists have been studying the role telomeres play in measuring our biological age and how they influence the development of disease, including cancer.
But for some people, the risk of cancer poses a constant threat, because they have what's known as a hereditary cancer syndrome.
Certain lifestyle habits and hereditary traits are linked to a number of cancers. Screening for various cancer types based on these factors may help patients determine their level of risk.
The most prevalent form of ovarian cancer may have actually start in the fallopian tubes. Find out why that matters, and what it may mean for future patients.
When it comes to environmental factors that raise the risk of cancer, it may seem like avoiding exposure is as impossible as avoiding the air you breathe. In reality, though, you have more control than you think.
November's designation as National Lung Cancer Awareness Month offers a timely opportunity to continue a national conversation about the need for early detection and screening.

Manchester United's Europa League opponents St Etienne are set to be without goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier for the last 32 first leg at Old Trafford next Thursday [16 February] after the France international was ruled out for a ninth game in a row against Nice. The 30-year-old has not played in 2017 due to an abductor injury and is likely to be replaced by Jessy Moulin, the much travelled stopper who has deputised for the 30-year-old.
Ruffier, who was again absent for the 2-0 win over Lyon, will train this week in an effort to regain match fitness, but having not played since before the winter break in December he is unlikely to be risked for one of the biggest games in St Etienne's history. The pair have never previously played against one another in European competition meaning the matches will be a landmark moment as the Europa League reached the knock-out stage.
"Stephane did not return to the game in Nice," said manager Christophe Galtier, according to the club's official website. "He still needs training sessions to regain all his sensations and landmarks. We will set up sessions on Thursday and Friday adapted to his work." Full-back Kevin Malcuit is suspended for the trip to Nice but will be available to face United next week. The club have no further injury problems.
Victory over their arch rivals Lyon brought Et Etienne to within a point of the top four. A fourth or fifth place finish in Ligue 1 would guarantee St Etienne a place in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, with either Monaco or Paris Saint-Germain guarantee to open up an extra place with both teams contesting the Coupe de la Ligue final in April.
But despite the enormity of facing United, Galtier insists full focus is on his side's league campaign and that the two-legged tie with Jose Mourinho's side is the "least important" games of the month. "There can be no relaxation, I do not fear that, even if we have to think about it," he said according to The Mirror.
"The most important matches will obviously be next, Nice, and Lorient. And the two games with Manchester [United] will surely be the two least important matches of the month of February. Thanks to the team, thanks to the players, the investment and the work during the three weeks of training [during the winter break]. We went out of the Coupe de France but in the league, we have managed to score points, to score goals and we must rely on this to keep challenging where we are."

Okay so far...
1159 words on Wildwolf Brother (new)
1154 Words on Aubreyan (complete rewrite from scratch --and going very well, I think.)
15 pages edited -- Blood of the Clan (and this went very well too!)
That leaves one more thing on my regular list of writing, and a bit of work on one other thing after that.
I do have another project, though, that I need to work in now, since it's a possible sale.

By John Updike
John Updike's first choice of verse in view that his Collected Poems, 1953-1993 brings jointly fifty-eight poems, 3 of them of substantial length.
The 4 sections take in, so as: the US, its towns and airplanes; the poet's existence, his adolescence, birthdays, and diseases; overseas shuttle, to Europe and the tropics; and, starting with the lengthy "Song of Myself," lifestyle, its furnishings and consolations.
There is little of the sunshine verse with which Mr. Updike all started his writing profession approximately fifty years in the past, yet a gentle contact should be felt in his nimble manipulation of the ghosts of metric order, in his caressing of the residing textures of items, and in his reluctance to wave so long to all of it.

All things were still. "6 "Boon" uses what Mary Louise Pratt calls the "monarch-of-allI-survey" moment7 to assert his domination of the scene, validated by his accomplishment in attaining the height, his aesthetic appreciation of the vista before him, and his ritual consumption of the game he has killed. A later description confirms his claim by depicting the newly settled "Kentucke, lately an howling wilderness," as "a fruitful field" (Colonel Daniel Boon, 27 william w. stowe p. 49) and the site of future cities "situated on the fertile banks of the great Ohio, rising from obscurity to shine with splendor, equal to any other of the stars of the American hemisphere" (p.
Some travelers pictorialize the passing scene as a way of dominating the world around them. John Filson's fictionalized "Daniel Boon" casts himself as an articulate and sensitive pioneer who sees the landscape as happily empty and claims to be its rightful inheritor.

Unaffected by the conventions of sublime and picturesque, untroubled by the need to associate his word-pictures with European models, McPhee gives us landscapes, whether in Wyoming or Maine, Alaska or New Jersey, as they look to an observant visitor and as they can be made to live through knowledge of their history, whether natural or human or both.

Difference Between Birth Control Methods
There are a lot of ways of controlling birth or planning a family as it is otherwise called which are generally chosen by the couples as per their requirements. Some of the most natural, simple but unreliable and less successful methods are coitus interruptus i.e. stopping the act and ejaculating the semen outside, safe cycle method – which means having sex during the unfertile period. There are other methods (long term and short term both) as well, which include ligating (binding or tying up) and severing both the fallopian tubes- a process called female sterilization and Vasectomy (a method called permanent male sterilization) where vas difference tube is ligated (bound or tied up)as a result of which semen is robbed of its sperm content. There are temporary methods of variable effectiveness as far as time limit is concerned like the pills of combined oral contraception which are used for a shorter (as well as a longer) period. There is a device called IUCD that is inserted into the uterus which is effective from 7 to 10 years. The hormonal implants which can have an effect for about 5 years can also be used.
DMPA- the extraditation injection which is administered every three month to stop ovulation is a good means that is safe to be used during the lactating period also. During the breast feeding period oestrogen is not used as contraceptive hormone as it will lead to the reduction of the quality and quantity of the breast milk. Mini Pills or the progesterone only pills or progesterone implants are the means that are sought to during the lactating times.
In case of an unplanned and unprotected sexual act, emergency pills that have progesterone can be used with in 72 hours. But their success rate is very poor and is not expected to be of any use after 72 hours from the sexual exposure. There are condoms available for both male and female. They act as contraception and prevents the sexual diseases as well.

Teaching Statement
Collaboration and coaching are an essential part of my current specialist position and the role of the teacher-librarian. I value my work with Antioch library students to identify learning goals for their own students and to find the intersections between instructional technology and subject-area content. Collaborating and co-teaching with teachers, librarians, and other instructional leaders to strengthen student learning is a passion of mine.
Technology provides many tools for improving learning and productivity, but educators can be seduced by shiny new apps that don't achieve their goals. I work with students and teachers to begin with the end in mind and to seek both conventional and innovative ways to get there. Through applications, learning management systems, and reimagining classroom projects, we can approach student achievement in literacy and research from various angles. Creative literacy, research and technology programming are central to my work. Thoughtful, balanced use of instructional technology should empower and amplify student voice.

♥Feed Love♥
Food, water and air are the essential things that our body needs for nourishment. We ensure that we are feeding ourselves with quality food, clean water and are living in a hygienic atmosphere. However, a wholesome nourishment is not complete without feeding quality thoughts i.e. feeding love to our mind. This becomes even more quintessential in the technosocial times that we are living in because even though we are more connected to our family and friends through technology and social media, than we were maybe two decades ago, we sometimes feel lonely and at some point, some of us feel that we are not genuinely loved by others. Therefore, it is just fitting that we love ourselves! Let's just feed our mind with thoughts that help us take care of ourselves and love ourselves.
We come across numerous things that provoke thoughts across our mind and there can be thoughts that make us feel stressed out or not-so-good. Doesn't matter good or bad, but whatever we let to sink in our mind, it does feed our body cells. There is a biochemical reaction to every thought that we feed to our mind. Then why not feed love and make ourselves healthy?
I believe that feeding good thoughts to our mind is equally important as feeding nutritious food to our body. Do we ever knowingly eat stale food or drink contaminated water? If we can say no to bad food then why do we hesitate to say no to bad thoughts? Perhaps, at times we don't realize that we are feeding bad thoughts to our mind and that's where mindfulness plays a part. If we can try to be mindful of the world around us then we can better evaluate what we are feeding to the world inside us. We need to be mindful of what we are letting into our mind, what we are surrounding ourselves with, who we are spending time with, what we are doing with our time, the kind of conversations we are having, the numerous things that we are pushing into our mind, and much more. If we can be mindful of such things that impact the quality of our thoughts, then we can take a step towards a healthier mind and thereby, love ourselves. Personal life tip: Absorb good vibes only. Seeing the good in everything is one simple way to pick just the good thoughts about anything that we come across. Pick good vibes only and just feed love to your mind.
Scars to Your Beautiful
🌸Makeup or no makeup, you always look beautiful🌸
🌸Got scars, uneven tone, breakouts or blemishes? These are part of your skin and you should not feel uncomfortable about anything that is a part of you🌸
🌸You do not need to hide your natural self🌸
🌸Genuine people look at your inside beauty and your skin type is just not even something that matters to them🌸
🌸Your skin type does not define you🌸
🌸It is the type of person that you are that defines you and your personality🌸
🌸You are what you do🌸
🌸Keep it natural🌸
🌸There is an elegance in being natural🌸
🌸Outshine in your natural confidence and not beauty complex🌸
Leaving you with one of my most favorite and uplifting song's lyrics:
"…You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful
we're stars and we're beautiful…" –

Send an intern/missionary to work with us
We are looking for interns and missionaries to work with us and/or attend courses at our training center in Scotland, or to serve in one of our global projects.
An update from Clark and Jennifer Jensen
Thank you for partnering with us in our mission to protect children and preserve families in at risk communities around the world since 1999. It has been quite a journey! We are excited to have launched in 8 countries working through churches and community organizations to find local and sustainable solutions to the issues of child trafficking and exploitation.
Here are some highlights from each country:
Through our church partner in Delhi, led by Pastor Vincent Paul, we have established several programs including a licensed shelter (25 beds) for young girls who have been trafficked, raped, and systematically abused. To date, this shelter has cared for over 500 young girls with a 95% success rate of family restoration. The governing body in Delhi declared our shelter as the model; any group wanting to open a similar effort must be trained and certified by our team. We established an education program in a railroad slum community that has now grown to include a majority of the children from the slum. Once children graduate, they are able to enroll in the formal government school. This is a tremendous success in a community where parents were initially very hesitant to send children to school as they needed them to earn daily wages. It has also allowed us to share His love with this community.
This is where the Daughter Project was 'born'. Thousands of young Nepali girls are trafficked across the border into India and beyond each year, many of these girls spend the remainder of their lives in brothel cities. A grassroots 'club' approach to bring awareness and prevention to this issue was launched in affected villages all across the country. An example of this approach is a student girls' club in Nuwakot that decided to take matters into their own hands at their school. A male teacher would bring female students to the front of the class and put his hand in the breast pocket of their uniform to shame them. The girls petitioned the school leadership to adopt new uniforms that did not include breast pockets, and they won! This empowered the girls to make other positive changes as well and work together to encourage one another. In Nepal, we also have a licensed shelter (10 beds) for children who have been rescued from traffickers and systematic abuse as well as a long term family home for 8 girls who were abandoned and orphaned. These girls have 'God-parents' through our partner church, a model that other churches are adopting.
This country has recently been downgraded by the US State Department with respect to its efforts to combat human trafficking (Trafficking in Persons Report 2018). We work in the capital city of Yangon as well as the states of Chin, Shan and Kachin as these areas have significant human trafficking activity. Many Burmese children are trafficked domestically for labor as well as into neighboring countries for child marriage, sexual enslavement, etc. Our coordinators work to form clubs and hold awareness campaigns to educate families about the risks of letting their children go away from home. They have also intercepted several trafficking rings and been able to restore children back home with their families. Current efforts in the capital city include restoring children who live in large 'child prisons'.
Global Family's work in Canada includes church-based clubs in various cities across the country and the beginning of the 'Just One' mentorship campaign. We have seen great strides in raising awareness and community mobilization against human trafficking. We are in the beginning stages of opening a center for CSEC youth in Ontario, a highly affected area with respect to child trafficking.
We have worked in the United States since 2016, starting girls' empowerment clubs and a level 12 group home for minor victims (ages 12-17) of commercial sexual exploitation (CSEC) in Bakersfield, CA. We have loved getting back to our roots here in California, partnering with our home church(es) and local organizations. Our most recent initiative, PRESEHT, aims to educate child care professionals and youth about how to identify and intervene in human trafficking. Beneficiaries of this training include educators, church youth and outreach teams, foster care, the transportation and service industry… just about anyone who comes into contact with minors on a regular basis. The youth version helps teens to be more aware of the issue, know what to do and how to recognize when their peers are affected.
The Daughter Project has been working in El Salvador for the last two years starting girls' empowerment clubs through rural churches. This is the first country in Latin America in which we have partnered, and we have seen extraordinary growth! This November, we will host a girls' club camp that will strengthen club communities and continue to teach girls about how to protect themselves from systematic abuse and help them dream for their futures. This represents an exciting step towards prevention of human trafficking in El Salvador.
We have just launched in Thailand in the northern area of Chiang Rai. Our focus is to work with tribal groups in this region (the golden triangle) to raise awareness and find local solutions to the issues of child exploitation and trafficking. Our girls' inner beauty curriculum has been translated into Thai (also in French, Spanish, Nepali and English) that builds self-worth and communities of support for at-risk girls. This curriculum includes stories that are based on women from the Bible.
We are in the process of registering in France as this country represents a model for Western Europe, a region highly affected by the issue of human trafficking due, in part, to the recent rise in issues with resettlement and reintegration of refugee communities. Our goal is to develop an evidence-based approach by establishing presence in at-risk communities, understanding the factors that increase abuse, and working with local partners.
Global Family's ultimate goal is to develop innovative best practice models that protect children and preserve families. Our comprehensive approach and curricula will be contextualized for the major cultural regions of the world and our model programs will be accessible on every continent where child exploitation is prevalent. In addition, our key program staff will be sought after as experts in the field. These program approaches include: (1) Locally imagined and managed solutions that bring awareness, empower girls, as well as strengthen families and communities. (2) Intervention shelters that preserve dignity, provide quality care, and prioritize restoration with families and returning victims to the highest level of independence possible. (3) After-care programs that are family based and volunteer caregiver dependent.
We couldn't do this without your support! Your partnership enables us to move forward, finding local churches in at risk areas of the world that are ready to protect children and preserve families.
God bless you!
Clark and Jennifer Jensen

Science Communication
The Delta Science Program recognizes that communication is essential to building the Delta science community and delivering pertinent information to scientists, decision-makers, the public, and other stakeholders. Effective science communication transforms information into knowledge, and knowledge into action. The Delta Science Program communicates science to a wide range of audiences through hosting events, supporting various publications, and generating outreach materials.
The Delta Science Program organizes and sponsors conferences, seminars, symposia, workshops, reviews, interagency forums, and other events. View our events calendar.
Bay-Delta Science Conference
A biennial forum for presenting science results relevant to the Bay-Delta. The next conference will occur in Sacramento in early 2021.
Brown Bag Seminars
Brown bag seminars are lunchtime talks that increase knowledge among Delta scientists and stakeholders. They are free and open to the public.
1-2 day long symposia increase knowledge among Delta stakeholders. They are often in partnership with UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute and are free to the public. Many produce synthesis documents.
Workshops unite scientists, managers, and other stakeholders towards unified goals. Workshops are also used to inform science synthesis efforts.
Reviews bring together independent scientific experts to ensure credible and legitimate science is available to decision-makers.
Interagency Forums
Interagency forums facilitate collaboration on science and management efforts. Examples include the Integrated Modeling Steering Committee and Interagency Adaptive Management Integration Team.
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science (SFEWS)
SFEWS is an open access, peer-reviewed, academic journal that publishes research about the science and resource management of San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and the upstream watersheds. The journal is funded by the Delta Stewardship Council, with support from the UC Davis John Muir Institute of the Environment and the eScholarship Publishing group.
Estuary News
The Delta Stewardship Council is a core funder of Estuary News. This quarterly publication has been in operation for over 25 years and reports on a wide range of Delta and San Francisco Estuary watershed news. It is available in print and online.

David Helfand / Columbia University
For few issues is the public debate conducted with so much misinformation and irrational exuberance. So now for something completely different: a dispassionate analysis of what we actually know and what we don't yet know about climate change. In this class, Professor David Helfand carefully distinguishes facts from fiction, and physics certainties from feedback uncertainties.
Every planet's temperature is controlled by a simple balance between the energy it receives and the energy it radiates back into space. We will examine each of the main factors affecting this balance. He will begin by exploring the astronomical phenomena that have driven climate change in the past: solar variability, changes in the Earth's orbit and other factors over which we have absolutely no control. He will then go on to show how the composition of the Earth's atmosphere has changed in the past and is changing today using measurements of prehistoric climate derived from tree rings and ice cores. Examining the current energy balance and what we can expect over the next few decades, we will conclude by exploding a few myths and providing a rational basis for decisions about our future.
David Helfand has been a Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University for 42 years where he served as chair of the Department for nearly half that time. He is also the former President of the American Astronomical Society and of Quest University Canada, and currently serves as Chair of the American Institute of Physics. He has received the Columbia Presidential Teaching Award and the Great Teacher Award from the Society of Columbia Graduates. He is the author of the new book, "A Survival Guide to the Misinformation Age."
Jessica Payne / University of Notre Dame
What's going on in your head while you sleep? The research of Notre Dame Professor Jessica Payne shows that the non-waking hours are incredibly valuable for your day-to-day life, especially for helping to commit information to memory and for problem solving. If you ever thought sleep was just downtime between one task and the next, think again. The fact is, your brain pulls an all-nighter when you hit the hay. Many regions of the brain – especially those involved in learning, processing information, and emotion – are actually more active during sleep than when you're awake. These regions are working together while you sleep, helping you process and sort information you've taken in during the course of the day. Professor Payne's research has focused on what types of information are submitted to memory, and has been instrumental in better understanding how the brain stores the information.
Sound interesting? It is. And useful too, as Professor Payne will outline all sorts of practical information on how to control your sleep habits to insure maximum productivity.
Jessica Payne is the Nancy O'Neill Collegiate Chair and Professor of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame, where she directs the Sleep, Stress, and Memory Lab. Her course, The Sleeping Brain, routinely sports a waitlist because of its immense popularity among Notre Dame students. In 2012, Professor Payne received the Frank O'Malley Undergraduate Teaching Award. She is also a two-time recipient of the Distinction in Teaching Award, and won the Award for Teaching Excellence at Harvard University's Derek Bok Center.
Stephen Kotkin / Princeton University
Think back to the 1970s: the end of the Vietnam War, inflation, America's rust-belt factories going bust, disco, a stagnant Soviet Union under Leonid Brezhnev, intense global poverty in populous places like Communist China. Now look around today, 40+ years later: the Soviet Union is long gone and Russia has a large middle class,led by strongman Vladimir Putin, a villain straight out of Hollywood central casting. Now China is the world's great economic dynamo. And here at home we have a new Commander-in-Chief with very different attitudes towards the rest of the world than the Presidents who came before him.
What happened? How should we understand these changes? How might things look another 40 years hence? Does this portend a decline in American power and influence? Is America's place in the world, in fact, changing? Should it change? Or, is this just a temporary phenomenon, overhyped, a marketing slogan? Might China instead crash? Is Russia set for further reversals, too? What are the real strengths and weaknesses of China, Russia and our own United States? More broadly, what lessons can we draw from these cases about global geopolitics and the world in which our children and grandchildren will inherit?
Stephen Kotkin is the John P. Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs at Princeton. Professor Kotkin established the department's Global History workshop. He serves on the core editorial committee of the journal, World Politics. He founded and edits a book series on Northeast Asia. From 2003 until 2007, he was a member and then chair of the editorial board at Princeton University Press, and is a regular book reviewer for the New York Times Sunday Business section.


text: It's finally here... after a long wait, counting days, hours & minutes... it's finally here. For four days, I simply couldn't contain myself, was bursting with excitement, day dreaming, imagining, planning, re-planning and planning again... new dreams, the exhilaration, it was palpable! And now, that the day has dawned... am still excited, but not quite as much... It's true... the fun lies in the waiting, the love dawns in the longing... Anyway, let's put-off the gyaan for another day... right now, I am on the verge of doing shoulder-stands and cartwheels... the surprises are in store for the evening... I can't wait to see his response/reaction to all that is lined up! All of that and more when we are back next week... with lots of pictures! ;)

For bartenders, the generosity of bar goers in the form of tips makes a huge difference. But how exactly do bartenders make us pay a tip? What subtle tricks do they use to leave you feeling happy, therefore leaving the spare change in your pocket?
Encouraging Us To Start a Tab
For some of us, starting a tab isn't top of the agenda when it comes to buying drinks; it only means you will inevitably spend much more. But bartenders often use subtle cues and suggestion to make us choose that option.
At the end of ordering, you will most likely hear 'Would you like to start a tab', which then plants the idea in your head to do so. Another, much more subtle way which the majority of us won't even notice is the body language. If the question is asked 'Do you want to pay now, or open a tab?', bartenders will slightly shake their head at the former, and nod while saying the latter. It's clever, it's subtle, and we will most probably part with our cash.
'Inventing' Cocktails
The more indecisive of us usually turn to the bartender to create something special, to which they agree to invent something just for us. They may even name it after the customer to make it extra- personal.
But it's very, very rare that bartenders will make something up on the spot. It's more often than not something from an old menu, or an obscure classic cocktail. We feel special, but it's just a clever trick to enhance our bar experience, hence more tips for the bar staff!
Personalised Bill
The optional in 'optional 10%' is always appealing, but most bartenders will write a small message, or a simple thank you on your cheques. This trick makes us associate the friendliness of the bartender with the tip, making us want to lay down our cash.
The clever psychological move is not one we would notice, so is used in most bars and restaurants!

Does creativity have a taste? And, if it does, is it salty or sweet?
January Magazine's "Authors on Snacks" is not meant to be a judgment. Rather it's a personal peek at what some of our most beloved authors nibble on while pushing forward on their latest work.
This time out we chat with Andrea MacPherson, whose latest novel, What We Once Believed, was released last spring.
What do you snack on while writing?
Macadamia nuts.
Do you consider your snacking to be mostly under control or mostly out of control?
Under control! I rarely snack while writing.
Latest book:
What We Once Believed (March, Caitlin Press)
Tell us about the book:
What We Once Believed is a novel about mothers and daughters, and secrets and lies.
Summer, 1971. While women demand equality, protests erupt over the Vietnam War, and peace activists march, adolescent Maybe Collins' life in quiet Oak Bay is upended by the appearance of her mother, who disappeared nine years earlier.
And with her return comes another surprise: she's written a bestselling memoir called The Other Mother, about motherhood and Women's Liberation, which gives only passing reference to Maybe's existence. Camille, now an acclaimed author, is distant and confounding, and Maybe tries to piece together her mother's life–why she left, the truth behind her famous memoir, and the future of their fractured relationship.
As Maybe searches for her place, so do the other women in her life: her independent and unchangeable grandmother, Gigi; her best friend's mother, Robin, who struggles with her roles as wife and stay-at-home mother; and Mary Quinn, a successful artist new to Lear Street, who seems to live only by her own rules. Their stories and struggles define how Maybe sees her choices as a woman, and how she'll navigate a world that is dramatically shifting every day.
But when Maybe discovers that her mother is writing another book — a book about her return — the betrayal is fierce and painful, and Maybe resolves to teach Camille a lesson that will change them all forever. ◊

So a good blogging friend Elaine and I had decided that we were finally going to do an art and I was supposed to be done by last week but I am never one to do things on time so I am done with it this week. We were supposed to do them on a canvas but I just didn't like how it was coming out on the canvas and I really wasn't feeling it so I did it in this book instead! Please do go check out her art too (she used canvases)!
I wanted to do a charcoal painting of a girl but since I am kind of a stranger to using charcoal for art I started out with the basics and just did the features first.
Once I was sure I was used to using charcoal and I knew how to draw the features I drew the actual thing:
I'm not very good at it yet compared to what I've seen other people do but it was really fun to do!
I hope you guys liked this post and for similar posts click here.

With over 10 years experience in surf charters, Dreamweaver offers quality, affordable surfing charters & tours, from Bali to Nusa Lembongan, Lombok, & Sumbawa. Dreamweaver is an Australian owned, 80ft traditional Indonesian Jukung and was designed specifically for surf charters. Dreamweaver has undergone major renovations and improvements to make her one of the best value surf charter boats currently operating out of Bali.
At the moment, Dreamweaver is the only boat out of Bali capable of getting you to all those uncrowded waves along the South coast of Lombok, taking this route saves around 36 hrs of travelling time per trip and means that you will surf every day of the trip and you will save time as compared to steaming around the north side of Lombok. It also means you will surf more breaks with fewer crowds.
You will surf Nusa Lembongan, Cenigan's, Desert Point, Scar Reef, Super Sucks, YoYo's, Ekas Bay, Mawi, Grupuk, Air Guling and a few choice secret spots.
Dreamweaver sleeps up to 15 guests comfortably, although they prefer to keep the number of guests down to 12, to save overcrowding in the surf. There is ample storage space for packs and surfboards, a large, covered, open-air dining/ chill out area, and an air-conditioned lounge. There is a DVD player and 32 inches Flat Screen LCD TV with a huge range of movies. For those who want to keep in touch with friends and family, they also have free WIFI internet throughout the boat. She has split system air conditioning, a western style flushing toilet, and bathroom with fresh water shower. The fully equipped galley is separate from the living area. They have 240-volt power with international adaptors for charging video cameras and appliances and full safety equipment including life jackets, a comprehensive first aid kit, 20 man life raft, and EPIRB Emergency Beacon. They also have a stereo with iPod connection on the top deck under the huge covered roof area.
Dreamweaver is powered by a 250hp diesel engine, this enables her to be faster (less travel time between waves), safer (no large amounts of flammable fuel, as on outboard powered boats), and more reliable. They also have a 4-metre aluminium tender powered by a 25hp outboard to get you from the boat to the waves and back. There is also a ski rope so you can go wakeboarding.

Your seven-day, seven-night adventure begins at approximately 7 am on the first day, the luxury air-conditioned vehicles will pick you up at the door of your hotel and take you to Serangan Beach where you will board Dreamweaver. From there, a leisurely boat trip across the Badung Strait to beautiful Nusa Lembongan. Where you will be straight into the surf at Shipwrecks, Lacerations, Razors and Playground you can also go ashore here to check out the local villages if you wish.
Very early the next morning, while you are still asleep, the crew will up anchor and head for the island of Lombok, where your adventure really begins at one of the longest, and best, left-hand tubes in the world, Desert Point. From here on, it is up to you and the other guests along with the Captain and his knowledge and experience as to where you go for the next six days. You will arrive back to Serangan Beach in Bali on the morning of the 8th day, one day longer than any other boat, Transport will then be arranged back to your hotel, again in air-conditioned vehicles, not bemos as some of the other boats do.
The Islands of Lombok & Sumbawa are to the South East of Bali and are home to some incredible set ups with Desert Point being rated by some as the best lefthander in the world.
SHIPWRECKS: The most famous and most surfed of all the waves on Nusa Lembongan, this right produces a good wall for manoeuvres and, depending on the tide, good tubes. Best at medium tide with a 4 to 6-foot swell, but can get bigger on a good day.
LACERATIONS: A powerful and very hollow right-hander that can produce some of the best barrels around if the swell direction is right. Best at medium tide with a swell of 3 to 8 feet.
PLAYGROUNDS: A right and a left with a soft coral bottom, that are very easy and fun to surf, being the favourites of inexperienced surfers. Best with medium swell (4 to 6 foot) and medium or high tide.
DESERT POINT: A long walled and incredibly hollow left-hander that on its day can break up to 300 meters, growing in size from takeoff to end. Has been called the best-left hander in the world, if you get it when it does on you will never forget it! Best between 3-8 ft.
BELONGS BAY: This is a fairly typical Indo reef break. Nice and consistent with powerful long rides when the swell picks up. Sensitive to winds. It's better during the raining season with NE winds.
Two main peaks:
The right: good peaky right on the west side. Can be powerful.
The left: at the east side of the bay. Doesn't always work, but very good when it's on.
AIR GULING: 2 breaks – a hollow shifty left, best at mid to high tide. A nice right with a fast inside section, best at low to mid tide has reasonable protection from the wind.
GERUPUK: This is a huge bay about 7 km east of Kuta, and on a big day it offers a few different breaks around the bay. It can handle any winds as it's protected and surrounded by hills Inside Gerupuk or Bumbang Bay, a right-hander, a fun wave suitable for all levels of ability breaking over a flat reef or sand bottom. The big days of southwest swell can be a great time to surf it. This break is surf-able at any time of year, best on the incoming tide Gerupuk Outside or Gili Golong, a right-hander, good at mid to high tide. A huge wave and big take off at the point, then a long ride when you get to the inside section, which can be fast and hollow. Up to a maximum of 10 foot. Don-Don, A right and left-hand peak suitable for all abilities, can be a really fun break, especially on a bigger swell, best on an outgoing tide. Pelawangan, another right-hander for beginners, only on big days, it can get very hollow on the right tide.
EKAS BAY: Is located on the east side of Kuta. A reef break, it has two spots. Outside Ekas, a good left-hander close to the entrance of the channel that can break for up to 200 meters on the right day. Inside Ekas, it's a fun peaky wave, a left and right-hander, works with a bigger swell, the left from mid to high tide and the right from mid to low tide, hollow and barreling on inside section. Can get very good when the winds are light, maximum 8 foot.
SCAR REEF: A long walled left peak where you drive into several backdoor sections all offering tube rides to write home about. Best between 2-10ft. There is also a smaller right hander on the inside reef on the bigger days.
SUPER SUCKS: Has been called the longest most intense tube ever ridden. Breaking over a live coral reef, this wave reels faultlessly for 150 meters. Get pitted from takeoff to exit. No top turns here when it's on! Best between 3-6 ft.
YO-YOs: Catches any swell. It consists of two rights, one a wedge peak breaking off a cliff face, the other along walled right reef in the middle of the bay, usually surfed when everywhere else is small. Best between 2-6 ft but has been surfed at up to 12 ft and bigger.
It is advised that you take out full travel and medical insurance. No responsibility will be taken, but every step will be taken to ensure you have a safe surfing holiday. Booties, some light rubber and helmets are highly recommended as many spots break over the reef. Also bring plenty of sun protection, spare wax, leg ropes, etc.
Bring along your favourite tunes on CD or an iPod, our stereo system can handle them both.
