THE FLATS – The Georgia Tech women's basketball team (6-4) rolled to an 88-50 victory against Central Arkansas (4-5) on Sunday evening at McCamish Pavilion.
The Yellow Jackets are now 4-1 in home games this season and have averaged 84.8 points per game while playing on the Flats. Dating back to the 2012-13 season, Georgia Tech has won 15 of its 18 home nonconference games.
"Anytime you have 10 days off, you worry about how you are going to come out and if you are going to come out flat," head coach MaChelle Joseph said. "I knew we were hungry from that loss to Michigan State. We played four BCS level games in seven days and I feel like we learned a lot about ourselves. We got tougher in a lot of areas. We found out a lot more about ourselves. In that stretch of time, Zaire O'Neil became a go to player and a starter. "
Freshman Zaire O'Neil had a career day, recording her first double-double as a Yellow Jacket, leading the team with 24 points and 13 rebounds. O'Neil has scored in double figures in seven games this season and set new career highs in both points and rebounds, while shooting 80 percent (12-for-15) from the floor. O'Neil's 24 points against the Sugar Bears marks the eighth time a Jacket has scored at least 20 points this season.
Sophomore Kaela Davis stretched her double-figure scoring streak to 22 games, dropping 16 points against the Sugar Bears. Davis sank four 3-pointers against Central Arkansas, marking the fourth time this season Davis has made at least three 3-pointers in one game.
Senior Sydney Wallace is now 27 points away from becoming the 27th Yellow Jacket to hit 1,000 career points after scoring 15 against Central Arkansas. She has 973 career points. Wallace had three steals and two assists against the Sugar Bears.
The Yellow Jackets only committed seven fouls and sent the Sugar Bears to the foul line just once the entire game. The seven fouls by the Jackets is tied for third for the least amount of fouls committed in a game in Georgia Tech history. Tech commanded the boards, outrebounding the Sugar Bears, 38-27, and outscored their opponent, 54-12, in the paint.
The Yellow Jackets didn't let a 10 day break for final exams slow them down, for Tech came out fast, outscoring the Sugar Bears 19-2 in the opening minutes. Tech held Central Arkansas scoreless for 3:04 during a 15-0 run that featured three-straight 3-pointers from Davis, Wallace and freshman Antonia Peresson.
The Sugar Bears would climb within eight points of Tech's 27-19 lead thanks to an 8-2 run. The Jackets would counter and outscore the Sugar Bears 12-5 over the final five minutes of the half to take a 39-24 advantage into halftime. O'Neil almost matched her previous season-high of 14 points in the first half alone, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds.
The Yellow Jackets began to pull away with the lead after scoring 12 unanswered points to extend the score to 57-27 with 13:33 on the clock in the second half. Davis hit two 3-pooint shots during the game-changing run. The Jackets would shoot 8-of-10 from the field between 13:33 and 8:25 to go ahead 34 points, 72-38.
Three freshmen – Peresson, De'Ashia Jones and O'Neil – would combine for seven-straight points for the Jackets at the end of the game to secure Tech's 88-50 win.
The Yellow Jackets are back in action when they host Alabama State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at McCamish Pavilion.

How-to prevent Windows from turning off your Microphone, without your consent.
Episode #9-03 released on September 2, 2018

For a while now, Microsoft, combined with Windows 10 updates that we all love to hate, but love to have to keep our online lives secure, has been causing a lot of headaches. And, the sheer number of tweaks has been steadily complicating the experience of users online using such things as microphones.
But, why I am talking about microphones?
Well, if you have watched the last 5 or so episodes, you would definitely see my show go from using a Blue Snowball, to a webcam microphone and back again. The quality of the webcam microphone is horrible, it is actually worse than the episode sounds like, but because I do tweak my own audio, I fixed it as much as possible. But, it isn't the same kind of microphone. The issue had to do with recording with my Blue Snowball Microphone and Windows 10.
Now, what will happen if you search for a solution for a problem related to microphones and Windows 10?
Well, the majority of people automatically presume a privacy setting has been activated leading to your microphone not working. While, this is possible, it is doubtful that it is the only problem.
The other solutions are related to the way Windows treats devices by basically needing the microphone to be the default recording device, supposedly, and just to point out an issue there, it isn't something necessarily true if your application can, also, select which recording device you want to use.
The what is the issue? It is a power saver issue. Look up the control panel, go to hardware and sound, then power options, select change plan settings, then change advanced power settings, and finally, under USB settings, disable USB selective suspend setting. Disabling that will prevent Windows from disabling devices whenever it wants, like a significant other unplugging your game console in the middle of a multiplayer match.
Oh, and that setting is why my microphone wasn't work! Thank you, Microsoft, for yet another ridiculous setting that doesn't work properly. And for your information, this setting does periodically reset back to enabled, so keep an eye on it.

Pushing the boundaries of conventional story-telling through VR and boosting a brand in the most emotional way.
Concept, VR-Production, Design, Content-Produktion, App Development, Technical Support
With more than 70.000 visitors from over 60 countries, iba is the world-leading trade fair for baked goods. In close cooperation with iba we developed an immersive omni-channel virtual reality experience that is specifically aimed at enhancing the iba brand experience. Achieving an average viewing time of 13 minutes and receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback, the project became a great success.
In order to continue to position the trade fair as a relevant medium in the future, we are working together closely with iba to create a comprehensive and coherent brand experience. Our goal: To anchor iba 2018 in the minds of visitors as an innovative platform for mutual exchange among global thought leaders of the industry.
Trade fairs connect people and thus empower unique international communities in an increasingly interconnected business world, making them more relevant than ever. That's what made us really passionate about using VR to elevate the experience to the next level.
We created custom imagery and videos for each of the 6 select locations, capturing the spirit and look of each city. The content was used for digital signage and during promotion.
What makes iba unique is its exceptional international reach. Every three years, people from all over the world travel to Munich, eager to see the newest innovations in baking. After numerous planning trips to thoroughly assess over 35 potential locations and facilities, we chose 6 locations that would best represent the iba network through their outstanding work.
To tell the stories of our showcase bakers, we visited six select bakeries in the USA, Greece, Iceland, Austria and Germany in close cooperation with the exhibition team. Within two months, more than 1000 hours of 360° video material in 3D were created. To support the storytelling approach, we furthermore produced detailed unscripted interviews and documentary content.
The content was eventually presented to the users using one of the first Oculus Go Apps on the market, creating an immersive experience that offers unique and direct user interaction features.
We set out to create an experience that was aimed at inspiring and exciting a supersaturated target group. Using VR, the visitors experienced the stories on a whole new emotional level, allowing for unparalleled authenticity.
The visitors create their own journey independently and can dive deeply into the stories of the respective bakers if desired. The result is an emotional experience in which visitors can actively explore and discover the stories for themselves. The industry's greatest talents come into direct contact with the viewers and are given space for their stories and ideas. Active storytelling allows deep insights into the context and everyday life of our six talents and involves the audience directly and emotionally at every point of the experience.
Using all of the channels available across the trade-fair, we conveyed our message in more than eight languages.
By allowing the users to decide which tours to watch, we achieved industry-leading watch times of more than ten minutes per viewer.
We managed to achieve on-boarding times of less than one minute by using proven UI patterns and skilled instructors.
More than 95% of users recommend the iba VBT experience on the spot to other visitors and spent more than 10 minutes on average exploring the Oculus Go headsets.
Within only a few hours the exhibition stand turned into a major attraction at the trade fair and was intensively discussed in social media. Due to the unforgettable VR experience, iba 2019's narrative focussing on innovation became the trade fair's emotional centerpiece that built sustainable and authentic buzz within the industry.
For us, the iba virtual bakery tours project has once more proven the immense potential of immersive storytelling and brand experiences. We're convinced there's no better way to emotionally engage and stun people than involving them directly with the story through the means of VR and AR technologies. Doing so allowed us to convey the iba message in a way that has never been seen before and felt much more personal than any other medium. We're excited to continue our deep dive and create more digital success stories. If our ideas got you thinking, be sure to hit us up.

Ironic Contradictions
I'm a long time reader - since way back when I was seven. That makes it over three quarters of my life that I will be a reader for. But it is worth it. When I'm not reading or wasting my time online on here or Goodreads I'll be off playing video games, studying teaching and messing around with friends and pop culture. Or reading some more.

I must confess that I rather enjoy the prose of one certain F.Scott Fitzgerald. Though many critics dislike the shallow nature of The Great Gatsby's characters there is such a poignant lyricism in the words of that novel. The very short novel The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is likewise extremely well written and very clever. Many people will have seen the film I'm sure though I myself was not interested.
What intrigued me so much about Fitzgerald's work here was the fact that he was able to portray in very few words - reading took me about five to ten minutes - how age affects the way various people and organisations view individuals. For instance despite his birth certificate claiming his age as eighteen Benjamin appeared to be fifty and was disallowed entry into Yale/
And that hidden depth is perhaps what I view as Fitzgerald's defining ability with his word manipulation. He writes like a poet while writing prose and at the same time creates novels laced with hidden meaning. His words serve to point out the way society treats other human beings and how self-indulgent individuals are. His observations portray people as they are and how they can be and allow the reader opportunity to reflect on how they personally view other humans. Powerful writing from a master writer.

My House Was Broken Into…What Now?
You come home from a long weekend on the lake to the horror that your home has been broken into and numerous valuables have been stolen. Naturally, your first call is to the police to report the crime. And while the likelihood of the police ever catching the thief that did this to your home may be slim, you're still going to have to eventually regroup and move on from the incident.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, up to 3.7 million home burglaries occur in the United States each year. Furthermore, it's estimated that in about one-third of these burglaries, there is evidence of forced entry into the home. Coming home to see that your home has been broken into can be a very troubling experience. You may feel like you're not in control of the situation or of your family's safety. It may cause mental instability, as you're now living in fear that it could happen again. But as we said in the opening, it's important to pick up the pieces and move on from the incident.
What are the Top 10 Most Burglarized Cities in Pennsylvania?
What to Do After Your House is Broken Into
With that being said, here's a look at what to do after your home has been broken into:
- Call the police and wait for them at a neighbor's house: It's best to always let the police secure the scene before you reenter the home upon discovering the break-in. You never know how recent the home invasion is and if burglars may still be lurking in the home, potentially armed with weapons. After the police have secured the scene, you'll be tasked with leading them through the home and identifying valuables that were taken. The police will document the information that you've given them in the police report they'll file about the incident. They'll likely also talk to neighbors and check any security cameras that may be positioned nearby to seek clues and leads as to who did it.
- File an insurance claim: After the police report has been filed, you can then file an insurance claim to seek reimbursement for all of the items that were stolen. For insurance reasons – and to receive reimbursement for everything that was taken – it's very important to accurately identify all items that were stolen, even the little things. Take your time putting together your list on what was stolen.
- Pick up the pieces: You can't move on if you don't get your home back in order to the way that it was. While this will likely be a difficult, emotional part of regrouping from the incident, it's a necessary one. Consider asking family and friends to help you with this part.
- Take measures to ensure it won't happen again: You'll never be able to 100 percent burglar-proof your home, no matter what you do. But you can learn from the incident and take measures to greatly minimize the chances of a home invasion ever occurring again on your property.
Check out these Security Products that Make it More Difficult for Burglars.
How to Prevent a Break-In
Here's a look at some things to keep in mind when determining ways to better protect your home:
Check the door and door frame for damage: If forced entry was the case in your incident, it's likely that the thieves came through the door. Be sure to check the doors and door frames for damage and have them replaced if need be.
Change the locks: After a home invasion, it's always best to call on a reliable, experienced locksmith to change out the locks on the house. Why? Because a locksmith will be better able to analyze your situation and ensure that your doors are equipped with the best type of locks for your situation – much more so than your local hardware store clerk would be able to. Locksmiths can also recommend additional safety and security measures that can enhance protection as well.
Consider a home security system: Home security systems have come a long way over the years and have also come down in price to be more affordable than ever before. Today's home security systems won't just monitor your home, but can also be programmed to turn lights on and off at set times, detect carbon monoxide and act as smoke detectors.
Keep landscaping neat and trim: Large, overgrown trees and bushes by your windows and entryways are somewhat of an open invitation for burglars to hide out in while they're plotting how to get into your home. Don't overlook your landscaping when you're analyzing your home security.
Motion lights: As the name implies, these are exterior lights that detect motion – and light up when they do. When positioned on front porches or garages, they can be enough of a deterrent if a crook gets caught in their crosshairs before they even have a chance to get to the door.
While a home invasion is never something that you want to think about – or ever something that you hope you have to deal with at some point – the reality that it could happen to you is there. In that case, it's best to be prepared to know what to do in the event of one. From contacting the police to creating an itemized list of stolen goods to contacting your local locksmith to analyze your security situation, these are all parts of putting the pieces back together.

text: Mobility Citrix offers free desktop virtualization tools Briony Smith @itworldca Published: May 4th, 2009LAS VEGAS—Citrix Systems Inc. made a play on Tuesday for the lead in the desktop virtualization race with its announcement of Citrix Receiver and Citrix Dazzle, two new—and free—products designed to take desktop virtualization more ubiquitous."We want to deliver on-demand, wherever you want to deliver it," said president Mark Templeton in a keynote speech to the firm's annual Synergy user conference. "You have to think of it differently, as desktop and apps as a service…Users will feel a lot better about IT, and will allow you to focus on things that are a lot more important."Receiver is a universal software client for IT service delivery that will run virtual applications and desktops from wherever, on-demand. (Templeton, for example, showed how the product worked on the One Laptop Per Child machine to audible "oooh!"s from the audience.)The local virtual desktop will be transparent to users and mobile workers, while allowing IT to manage it centrally and remotely. (Real-time monitoring, voice communications, and auto update functionality is also there, along with secure access control and password management.) Users can download it from the Web to whatever device or platform they choose, including PCs, laptops, and mobile devices.The free application runs on Citrix's XenApp and XenDesktop; the Windows version is available now, with a Mac version scheduled to hit later this year.This is a smart move, according to John Sloan, senior research analyst with Info-Tech Research Group. "What Citrix is moving to on the desktop side is to make it as cheap and easy as possible to deliver an application," he said. "And it will be the software that will make that process easier—to be able to manage centrally but also stream locally."Switching to Templeton's service delivery model could be an attractive option for cash-strapped, busy IT managers."IT has been seen as making acquisitions and deploying them, and that extends to the desktop. But we're moving toward a different way of doing things—the idea is to get IT out of the desktop asset management business," Sloan said. "They should instead be in the service delivery business, not worrying about what's on the desktop but just delivering the best service possible."One device users might want to access Receiver on is Apple Inc.'s iPhone, so Citrix is also releasing the free application Citrix Receiver for iPhone (which will also work with the iTouch iPod). Citrix Doc Finder will be part of the application, allowing for easier navigability. Windows Mobile and Symbian mobile devices will soon be supported as well, in addition to the Android platform through a partnership with Open Kernel Labs.Another Apple product—iTunes—was the inspiration for Dazzle, the new self-service "app store" for enterprise IT workers. "It's all about choice. Choice is the next era of computing," Templeton said. "We've seen that happen everywhere on the Web, and we want to bring that to enterprise computing."Different applications are grouped under task type (collaboration, management) and vertical (financial, health care), and a live help option gives users immediate support. It will run with XenApp as a free service. It is scheduled for release in the second half of 2009.As enterprise workers use more consumer technology in their own lives, making enterprise IT interfaces just as pleasant is becoming increasingly important. This applies to the virtualization space as well, according to Sloan, who said that, as cloud-based and virtualization-like applications become more popular at home, workers will feel more inclined to use them at work. "Those psychological barriers will come down more easily," he said.At this point, any differentiators are important: Citrix and virtualization giant VMWare Inc. are almost neck-and-neck right now when it comes to desktop virtualization market share, Sloan said, and ease of use is an important factor in making the product more popular—especially at such a critical stage.Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Mark Bowker thinks that even more is on the line. "Citrix is ahead in application virtualization, but behind in desktop and server virtualization. They need to really make people aware that they have a virtual desktop solution—a lot of existing and potential customers don't even know," he said. "They need to step outside their customer base more as they tend to promote within their customer base rather than externally."And there is business for the taking—enterprise implementations of desktop virtualization sit at around five per cent, according to Sloan, but about a third of enterprises are actively exploring desktop virtualization. "It is growing steadily through 2010. It's sort-of where server virtualization was three years ago," Sloan said.IT managers are looking at applications that reduce operational costs and increase operational efficiency, and these tie right into that trend—even if it will most likely take a while. "They way people are actually deploying desktops is very different than what they're saying," according to Bowker. "It's a giant step from where we are now to this self-service model. But they will take smaller steps." Mobility desktop virtualization

- Book: Not dead enough
- Author: Peter James
- Publisher: Pan Macmillan
- Page count: 610. (625 including a chapter of the next book in the series 'Dead man's footstep'.)
Not Dead Enough is the third book by Peter James in the series with main character detective superintendent Roy Grace. There have been a total of 14 books so far (book 'Dead if you don't' has been released in May 2018) in this series.
Peter James starts the book 'Not Dead Enough' with the murder of Katie Bishop, who is found dead in a disturbing manner at her home in Brighton, which she shares with her husband.
Katie Bishop is wife to the wealthy and prestigious businessman Brian Bishop, who owns a house in London and does most of his business from there.
Brian Bishop is playing golf tournament following the morning of Katie's murder when the officers bring him the news of his wife's murder.
Brian Bishop claims to be having dinner in the restaurant in London on the night of Katie's murder.
Detective Superintendent Grace suspects that Brian Bishop might have killed his wife and investigates with Brian as the prime suspect, in the investigation few things come out which make him more suspicious about Brian.
Brian Bishop is having an extramarital affair with Sophie Harrington who is a film production assistant.
There are few side plots which make things more interesting and make the reader unable to put down the book.
Some of them are, the relationship of Roy Grace with Mortuary assistant Cleo, Roy Grace getting a call from his friend about seeing Roy's wife (who had left him nine years ago) in a restaurant in Munich.
Another subplot includes a local thug Skunk, who steals cars as per order. Skunk is later in the book to be used by police, in an attempt to catch a dealer.
I personally enjoyed Glenn Branson and his marital problem. This is the first book I came across which showed how police investigation really works.
Unlike other detective novels in which the main character is presented as a superhero who does all his work, Peter James keeps things realistic, there are meetings with all his team, work is assigned to different team members.
Another thing that I loved about this book is Peter James has also added police and media's relation, their conflicts. This book is really nice and I recommend it to all the readers.
Peter James is an amazing writer and has written once again an amazing novel with an amazing story…… It is un-put-downable (If such word exists.).

This week's reflection will focus a little more on family morality and the daunting tasks of being parents. Taking parents to task within this first week of Lent is imperative since they form the bedrock upon which childhood and human developments anchor. There's certainly no way we could shy away from parental responsibility and still expect society to produce quality leaders. Parents not only take the blame for non-performance but also praise for productive training of kids. So, the role of parents in upbringing of children cannot be overemphasized. According to Pope Francis, "Parents always influence the moral development of their children, for better or for worse. It follows that they should take up this essential role and carry it out consciously, enthusiastically, reasonably and appropriately" (Amoris Laetitia, 259). So our work here is more of encouragement, inspiration and motivation for parents taking cognizance of the craze in today's society.
When we speak of family morality, we mean good ethical and moral standards; morality based on principles of love, justice and goodness. In this case, it's not necessarily about the church one takes his/her kids to attend. One thing is clear though; the presence of God has great and indispensable influence in forming one's morality. However, because of our religious and spiritual upbringing, our morality is mostly informed by, and connected to our religious background. For instance, when I write, it's mostly from my Christian, then catholic viewpoints. I'm guided by Christian morality which is the basis of my faith. A Muslim thinks and acts from her faith background, so also a Hindu or a Jew. But beyond these differences of faith, there is also an objective morality that guides every person as creatures of God within the same society. "Thou shall not kill", for instance, falls within this category of morality.
In his encyclical Veritatis Splendor, Pope John Paul 11 states, "The Church knows that the issue of morality is one which deeply touches every person; it involves all people, even those who do not know Christ and his Gospel or God himself. She knows that it is precisely on the path of the moral life that the way of salvation is open to all. The Second Vatican Council clearly recalled this when it stated that "those who without any fault do not know anything about Christ or his Church, yet who search for God with a sincere heart and under the influence of grace, try to put into effect the will of God as known to them through the dictate of conscience... can obtain eternal salvation". The Council added: "Nor does divine Providence deny the helps that are necessary for salvation to those who, through no fault of their own, have not yet attained to the express recognition of God, yet who strive, not without divine grace, to lead an upright life. For whatever goodness and truth is found in them is considered by the Church as a preparation for the Gospel and bestowed by him who enlightens everyone that they may in the end have life" (Veritatis Splendor, 3; cf. Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium, 16).
Here, we need to accentuate the dictates of conscience. Conscience is the subjective moral judge in every human being which enables the individual to know and to choose what is good and to avoid what is evil. Consciences are formed by different moral authorities- parents or guardians, teachers, church leaders and other superiors. The laws also help to inform our consciences. The moral authorities help us mostly to make moral decisions as we grow up from infancy to adulthood. At each point in our human development, there is always someone who guides and directs the person on the course of right action, who assists to develop one's certain conscience. Once formed, a certain conscience passes judgement without fear of error. Parents are pivotal in the formation of conscience. They teach the child to talk, walk, eat, sleep, wake, pray, sing, and even greet. If we take our reference from Pope John Paul 11's statement above, that the issue of morality is one which deeply touches every person, then we see family morality as the responsibility of parents irrespective of religious affiliations. Every other moral authority comes after parents.
Family morality therefore, calls to question the roles and responsibilities of parents in proper upbringing of children, and what challenges they face. The old Scriptural passage maintains, "Train a child in the way he/she should go; when he/she grows old, he/she will never depart from it" (Prov.22:6). Family morality is about making your children responsible, reasonable and conscientious in order to insert productively into the public morality. This week, we'll reflect on few aspects of what family morality is all about. What can parents do to be more parents? What does it mean for parents to be supportive of their children? Can parents be firm and loving at the same time? Does giving enough time to kids matter? Does getting them to church make any difference? Sometimes you do your best, yet your children do what they like. Do you simply give up?

I am a Hazara, and the homeland of my people is Afghanistan. Like hundreds of thousands of other Hazara kids, I was born in exile. The ongoing persecution and operation against the Hazaras forced my parents to leave Afghanistan.
This persecution has had a long history going back to the late 1800s, and the rule of King Abdur Rahman. He killed 63 percent of the Hazara population. He built minarets with their heads. Many Hazaras were sold into slavery, and many others fled the country for neighboring Iran and Pakistan. My parents also fled to Pakistan, and settled in Quetta, where I was born.
After the September 11 attack on the Twin Towers, I got a chance to go to Afghanistan for the first time, with foreign journalists. I was only 18, and I got a job working as an interpreter. After four years, I felt it was safe enough to move to Afghanistan permanently, and I was working there as a documentary photographer, and I worked on many stories.
One of the most important stories that I did was the dancing boys of Afghanistan. It is a tragic story about an appalling tradition. It involves young kids dancing for warlords and powerful men in the society. These boys are often abducted or bought from their poor parents, and they are put to work as sex slaves. This is Shukur. He was kidnapped from Kabul by a warlord. He was taken to another province, where he was forced to work as a sex slave for the warlord and his friends.
When this story was published in the Washington Post, I started receiving death threats, and I was forced to leave Afghanistan, as my parents were. Along with my family, I returned back to Quetta. The situation in Quetta had changed dramatically since I left in 2005. Once a peaceful haven for the Hazaras, it had now turned into the most dangerous city in Pakistan. Hazaras are confined into two small areas, and they are marginalized socially, educationally, and financially. This is Nadir. I had known him since my childhood. He was injured when his van was ambushed by terrorists in Quetta. He later died of his injuries. Around 1,600 Hazara members had been killed in various attacks, and around 3,000 of them were injured, and many of them permanently disabled. The attacks on the Hazara community would only get worse, so it was not surprising that many wanted to flee.
After Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Australia is home to the fourth largest population of Hazaras in the world. When it came time to leave Pakistan, Australia seemed the obvious choice. Financially, only one of us could leave, and it was decided that I would go, in the hope that if I arrived at my destination safely, I could work to get the rest of my family to join me later.
We all knew about the risks, and how terrifying the journey is, and I met many people who lost loved ones at sea. It was a desperate decision to take, to leave everything behind, and no one makes this decision easily. If I had been able to simply fly to Australia, it would have taken me less than 24 hours. But getting a visa was impossible. My journey was much longer, much more complicated, and certainly more dangerous, traveling to Thailand by air, and then by road and boat to Malaysia and into Indonesia, paying people and smugglers all the way and spending a lot of time hiding and a lot of time in fear of being caught.
In Indonesia, I joined a group of seven asylum seekers. We all shared a bedroom in a town outside of Jakarta called Bogor. After spending a week in Bogor, three of my roommates left for the perilous journey, and we got the news two days later that a distressed boat sank in the sea en route to Christmas Island. We found out that our three roommates — Nawroz, Jaffar and Shabbir — were also among those. Only Jaffar was rescued. Shabbir and Nawroz were never seen again. It made me think, am I doing the right thing? I concluded I really had no other choice but to go on.
A few weeks later, we got the call from the people smuggler to alert us that the boat is ready for us to commence our sea journey. Taken in the night towards the main vessel on a motorboat, we boarded an old fishing boat that was already overloaded. There were 93 of us, and we were all below deck. No one was allowed up on the top. We all paid 6,000 dollars each for this part of the trip. The first night and day went smoothly, but by the second night, the weather turned.
Waves tossed the boat around, and the timbers groaned. People below deck were crying, praying, recalling their loved ones. They were screaming. It was a terrible moment. It was like a scene from doomsday, or maybe like one of those scenes from those Hollywood movies that shows that everything is breaking apart and the world is just ending. It was happening to us for real. We didn't have any hope. Our boat was floating like a matchbox on the water without any control. The waves were much higher than our boat, and the water poured in faster than the motor pumps could take it out. We all lost hope. We thought, this is the end. We were watching our deaths, and I was documenting it.
The captain told us that we are not going to make it, we have to turn back the boat. We went on the deck and turned our torches on and off to attract the attention of any passing boat. We kept trying to attract their attention by waving our life jackets and whistling.
Eventually, we made it to a small island. Our boat crashing onto the rocks, I slipped into the water and destroyed my camera, whatever I had documented. But luckily, the memory card survived.
It was a thick forest. We all split up into many groups as we argued over what to do next. We were all scared and confused. Then, after spending the night on the beach, we found a jetty and coconuts. We hailed a boat from a nearby resort, and then were quickly handed over to Indonesian water police.
At Serang Detention Center, an immigration officer came and furtively strip-searched us. He took our mobile, my $300 cash, our shoes that we should not be able to escape, but we kept watching the guards, checking their movements, and around 4 a.m. when they sat around a fire, we removed two glass layers from an outside facing window and slipped through. We climbed a tree next to an outer wall that was topped with the shards of glass. We put the pillow on that and wrapped our forearms with bedsheets and climbed the wall, and we ran away with bare feet.
I was free, with an uncertain future, no money. The only thing I had was the memory card with the pictures and footage. When my documentary was aired on SBS Dateline, many of my friends came to know about my situation, and they tried to help me. They did not allow me to take any other boat to risk my life. I also decided to stay in Indonesia and process my case through UNHCR, but I was really afraid that I would end up in Indonesia for many years doing nothing and unable to work, like every other asylum seeker.
But it had happened to be a little bit different with me. I was lucky. My contacts worked to expedite my case through UNHCR, and I got resettled in Australia in May 2013.
Not every asylum seeker is lucky like me. It is really difficult to live a life with an uncertain fate, in limbo.
The issue of asylum seekers in Australia has been so extremely politicized that it has lost its human face. The asylum seekers have been demonized and then presented to the people. I hope my story and the story of other Hazaras could shed some light to show the people how these people are suffering in their countries of origin, and how they suffer, why they risk their lives to seek asylum.
Thank you.

Your theme is essentially your audience's window into your blog's soul.

I stated that Choosing a theme is similar to falling in love, that is completely true!
There Are tons of factors that influence falling in love: attractiveness, desirability, similarity, need fulfillment…such as the ability to put down a hardwood floor, possibly?
A woman can Dream, can not she?
(Let us just State I did not marry my husband due to his handiness round the house. )p–>
Anyway, my point is when people come to your blog, you want them to fall A little bit in love with you.
If they do, There's a great chance they will come back again.
Then again.
And hopefully Again and again, till you are such good buddies that you share inside jokes together in the comment section. (I need US to be friends like this.)
Studies show You merely have 7 minutes to make a first impression…and do not you want a reader's first impression of you to be BRILLIANT? (FYI, if it isn't you risk them clicking off and rebounding and never to return)
So how do you Capture their attention with your blog theme? In fact, it's really simple!
You Need a theme that's:

With a free theme, you might not even know who designed it, let alone have a way to contact them.
Important note: you Will Need the Genesis Framework in order to utilize a R316 motif. The R316 topics are built upon the Genesis Framework, much like a home is built upon a foundation. The Genesis theme is that the"parent" theme along with the R316 motif is the"child" theme.

2. Refined
3. Anchored
4. Market

This is their New number three motif that's fast climbing to the top of the rankings, Anchored.
*Note: if I'd ONE complaint regarding my Delightful Pro theme, it would be that it doesn't have a tacky announcement bar with a button link on top. I NOW know that these types of pubs with buttons directly convert more email subscriptions. (FYI, don't get hung up on the pub a lot of…there are plugins that can do this, or you could even have one custom .)
Should you take a Glance around my blog, you'll find that everything is quite harmonious.
In the Social networking buttons at the top, right down to the color of my links, what's consistent.
Here are a Few of the words that my readers have used to explain what They enjoy about my site:

It doesn't Matter if it is Joe Schmoe riding the train while reading on his iPhone or even Grandma Lois peering at it on her desktop, surrounded by cats.
Your theme Will fit itself to every screen , be it desktop computer, tabletcomputer, or mobile.
I had a girl Complaining to me Facebook another day that she spent three hours on her blog — just to realize that she had bought a non-mobile responsive motif and had to begin from scratch!
Don't be that girl. Cute Designs

I made my Logo myself in PicMonkey and customized the colors to my new (cherry, mint, green, red, and yellow).
(My motif, Beautiful Guru, is actually one of their LEAST popular themes, Believe it or not (more on that in a moment ).

A new method of producing extremely lightweight materials with unlikely properties could herald the advent of architectural engineering on the micro-scale.
Many ultra-low density materials have already been produced based on carbon nanotubes, metallic foams and the like. But these have random structures, notes materials scientist Tobias Schaedler of HRL Laboratories in Malibu.
His team's new material, described this week in Science, consists of a regular arrangement of metallic tubes intersecting at nodes and is made by plating nickel-phosphorous onto a carefully produced polymer micro-lattice.
Schaedler compares this approach to macro-scale objects such as the Eiffel Tower, which has an impressive size and rigidity despite its relative lack of mass, due to its careful and non-random design.
"The long term vision is to bring architecture that's responsible for modern buildings like the Eiffel Tower to the materials level," he says.
His team made various versions of the metal micro-lattice described in their new paper, one of which came in at an amazingly low density of 0.9 milligrams per cubic centimetre (measured, as is convention, excluding the air in the pores).
Unlike the rather brittle properties of nickel-phosphorous in bulk, the new material is surprisingly springy and can completely recover from being compressed, as shown in the video below. It also has very good energy absorption properties.
Schaedler says versions of it could eventually find use in everything from insulation materials to the aerospace industry. Perhaps more ambitiously, he hopes this could usher in a new approach to materials, where careful control of the structure can produce materials with properties wildly different from the original elements.
"There are only so many elements in the periodic table. If we introduce structure architecture we can make new materials with new properties," says Schaedler.

The EC's GCCA helps poor developing countries to increase their capabilities to adapt to the effects of climate change and to have their voice better heard in the international climate change negotiations. The LTS led consortium provides expertise in climate change to the ACP Secretariat to support its implementation of the Intra-ACP GCCA programme.
Countries across Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific have been able to come together to better articulate and present their positions in international climate negotiations.
Climate change is of major concern to the ACP group of states. The joint ACP/EC declaration on climate change was agreed at the May 2009 Joint ACP-EU Council, agreeing assistance to ACP countries in addressing climate change. A Climate Support Facility (CSF) was established to channel GCCA funding support to ACP countries, guided by the ACP Secretariat. However, the ACP Secretariat itself has insufficient personnel to ensure adequate in-house capability in climate change to supervise the CSF and related climate support to ACP states.
In response, this contract has placed TA within the ACP Secretariat in Brussels, supporting its implementation of the GCCA programme and the CSF.
LTS provides a full-time climate change expert, and administrative and additional technical assistance. The team provides support to the ACP Secretariat and the wider GCCA, including:
Dr. Pendo Maro, the LTS climate change expert based in the ACP Secretariat, speaks about the services that the Intra-ACP GCCA programme offers here. Additional information can also be found on the capacity4dev.eu website.
Value and benefits
The LTS team helps to ensure the ACP Secretariat remains well informed about climate issues so that it can support ACP countries and institutions. The TA support ensures that the programme offers demand driven and coordinated support to countries facing pressures to adapt to climate change and to better articulate their positions in international negotiations.

JOY COURT, the librarian behind the Coventry Book Awards, has already been over-whelmed with support for her latest literary idea.
Joy's Book Swap Stop boxes have been placed in 15 different city locations where shoppers can pause and, if they're lucky, pick up a free copy of bestsellers like Zadie Smith's On Beauty or a classic like Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad.
The Coventry Telegraph's main office in Corporation Street is one of the locations.
In return, browsers are asked to give another book from the nearest charity shop or their shelf at home.
It's all part of national book week which is being supported by the Coventry Telegraph.
Joy, aged 53, knows there are millions of people who will never cross the threshold of a lending library. In some cases because they're worried about forgetting to return a book and attracting a fine.
She said: "This should be a good way of just getting books out there for adults and their children to pick up as they do their shopping.
"Those who are already readers will have dozens of books they've read and don't want to keep because, after all, you can only store so many.
"Hopefully this scheme will mean those who don't read much at the moment will be encouraged to try a few different books. And it will be lovely for children to swap favourite stories."
Among the first to leave two of her own books was adult education tutor Sandra Brownbridge who visited the Ikea restaurant on Tuesday and left The Rich Are Different by Susan Howatch, as well as Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad.
Sandra, aged 60, from Cheylesmore, said: "Encouraging more people to read is an excellent idea and will be lovely to see children swapping books."

Time for a quick lesson in social media. We're all aware of it but I thought I'd share my most recent reminder about just how much privacy there really is once you hang yourself out on the interweebs. SOCIAL MEDIA: noun, … Continue reading →

This is a quick and dirty blend of two jpeg images, one for the sunset sky, and one for the rest. Once I'm home, I'll re-work this, probably using most, if not all five raw files, but this gets me at least 90% of the way to the final image.
I gotta say, this was one of the tougher hikes home in the dark. A half an inch of rain had obliterated most the footprints on this lightly traveled trail, and it seemed like the cairns were just out of headlight range – the lack of a moon didn't help. But, being able to spend a wonderful evening at this beautiful arch, with out another person within miles made it completely worth it for us!

The Last Train to Zona Verde – My Ultimate African Safari by Paul Theroux. The first time Paul Theroux ever visited Africa he was a 22-year old in the Peace Corps. Now after 50 years he once again set out to renew his pleasure in the wild continent. Things were much different now. His plan was to begin in South Africa staying along the west coast to Namibia, then Angola and with luck on to the Congo. He had no itinerary and could stay as long as he liked in each country. In South Africa he found much poverty along with wealth. He rode a bus into Namibia. He found that UNESCO had planned a one-day discussion on "Preserving a Cultural Heritage." It was to be held in a little town near the border of Botswana which was 454 miles east of Windhoek. The only way to arrive in Tsumkwe was by land transportation. The roads starting out as paved roads ended up going over barren land. It was the settlement of hunter-gatherers who had lived in the area for over 40,000 years. After the meeting he had to return to Windhoek to resume his trip, but before that he made a trip to a very exclusive camp called Abu Camp. The camp was placed on the edge of a landlocked river delta and was a watery mirage and home to elephants. The camp had only six tents but they were more like canvas bungalows on big platforms with showers, tubs and double beds with mosquito nets. The cap was a friend of Paul's and had invited him to ride an elephant. It was a great experience. Afterwards, Theroux returned to the trip following the ocean north. There were many areas of poverty and even worse areas in Angola. Both countries are very wealthy with oil and diamond exports but the money is kept in a very few hands and most people are ignored. Few schools have been built and the hunger is tremendous. The poor were everywhere. Angola is owned by the Portuguese and has been used as a prison colony. Paul found that his credit card had been stolen in Namibia and the duplicate had charged over 100 transactions totaling $48,000. He was short of money and decided he would have to cut his traveling short. He had planned to take the train to Zona Verde and he didn't want to miss this trip. You'll have to read the book to find out if he did make the trip. This book is well worth your time to read, particularly if you are planning an African trip.
Duel With the Devil – the Story of How Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Teamed Up to Take on America's First Sensational Murder Mystery by Paul Collins. Hamilton and Burr were both top lawyers in the early days in New York City. Waging a fierce battle for control of the country in 1800, Hamilton was allied with John Adams, the second president of the young republic called the Federalists. Burr was the leader of a party called the Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson. The first chapters were an interesting time in the early life of the city. Burr had been working to bring water to the city from a well in Lispenard's Meadow, using hollowed out logs to send the water into the city. There were many boarding houses and one was owned and run by a Quaker family named Ring. A young boarder named Elma Sands lived in the Ring's house and was found dead in the Manhattan well. Another boarder, a carpenter, also lived in the Ring's house and was accused of killing her. The two attorneys facing each other were Hamilton and Burr. You will have to read the book to find out how the trial ended. You probably also remember how Hamilton died.
Moonlight Sonata at the Mayo Clinic by Nora Gallagher. This is a memoir written in detail of the author's battle to fight a disease of the eye. The optic nerve was inflamed and if not treated Nora could have lost her sight. After about a year of seeking help from numerous doctors, with the situation worsening, Nora made the decision to go to the Mayo Clinic if they would accept her as a patient. By this time in her life she called her seeking OZ. At long last, the doctors at Mayo Clinic found an answer and a way to treat it. If you've had a disease that seems to not respond to treatment, you will enjoy this book.

Supplements to promote weight control
Supplements to promote muscle mass
Supplements for those who perform physical activity
The muscle loss due to aging , calculated to be about 1 to 2% per year after age 50 , can be solved through better nutrition .
A cup of tea and some cookies as an afternoon snack are definitely a nice break , but it may not provide adequate nutrition for people more advanced in years .
A recent study from Tufts suggests that a glass of milk or a boiled egg supply nutrients to the person best suited to cope with the loss of muscle mass.
"It is estimated that 20 % of people between the ages of 51 and 70 have an inadequate protein intake ," said Paul Jacques , director of the nutrition program at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging.
Jacques and his colleagues reported in the British Journal of Nutrition that physical activity ( working out with weights or aerobic exercise), plus the assumption of sufficient protein can stop and even reverse the muscle loss normally associated with aging.
Another research conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture shows that consumption of 90 grams of high quality protein per day helps to strengthen the muscles at any age . And this becomes increasingly important when the body begins the phase of decline due to aging. Experts say that it is better to stimulate the consumption of protein throughout the day , so that your muscles have a constant supply of amino acids from which to draw.

Mathilde Wendt (1855-1932)*
Mathilde Wendt was the daughter of the classical philologist and school headmaster Gustav Wendt in Karlsruhe. She first listened to Clara Schumann in a concert with Joseph Joachim at the Berlin singing academy. But Clara had to reject Wendt's desire to take lessons with her, since she did not wanted to give lessons during her concert tours. She recommended Mathilde Wendt, to come to Baden-Baden in the spring. However, Mathilde was bound to Berlin and could not take any classes until 1873, when Clara moved to Berlin. The training that lasted until Clara and her daughters moved to Frankfurt in 1878 resulted in a lifelong friendship. Mathilde Wendt also assisted Clara with the transcription of manuscripts for the edition of Robert Schumann's early letters. She knew Brahms and many other artists from the circle of Clara Schumann and published memoirs on Clara Schumann in 1919.
* According to recent results in research from a descendant of Gustav Wendt and his wife Anna née Dohrn, Mathilde Wendt may not have been the above-described student of Clara Schumann. The eldest daughter of Gustav Wendt, born 1855, lived continuously with her parents and married at the age of 18 in 1873 a certain Otto Grumbacher in Karlsruhe. She remained in Karlsruhe and died here in 1932. Concerning the piano student of Clara Schumann, it is apparently the sister of Gustav Wendt, who was also named Matilda.
(Information of a great-great-grandchild of Gustav Wendt; 13 October 2009, after research at the urban archives in Karlsruhe).

This is the third and final part in a series of posts I've written on depression and anxiety. Part 1 from last week is here and Part 2 was published earlier in the week and can be found here. I'd love to have your input either in the comments or via email.
I don't know everything. Not even close. I just want to talk about my experiences. The only things I really know about depression and anxiety I've had to figure out on my own. Since no one really talks about this like it's ordinary mental health, it's hard to share it with people without feeling like you're begging for attention or without feeling judged.
I first recognized I had some anxiety and depression issues outside of normalcy when I had a 4 month old baby. I had a really, really hard time adjusting to being at home all day putting someone else's needs above my own literally 24 hours a day (86,400 seconds).
My sister was in graduate school and lived with us during that time. My husband, mom and sister were a terrific support system for me with a newborn baby. They knew I was depressed before I knew. They cried with me, listened and talked with me.
As a first time mom with breastfeeding issues weighing me down, I was going crazy from the sleep deprivation, alienation from my ordinary life, and adjustment to all of the demands of caring for a child. I cried daily. I counted the hours until Jonathan came home from work. I hardly took care of myself.
After Julianna was about 5 or 6 months old things finally started getting better. I would say I was back to my normal self by the time she was 9 months.
I struggled for a little bit with trying to find a balance between being a mom and working or staying at home. I decided staying at home wasn't right for me and began looking for a teaching job again. I went through a sad time when I couldn't find the right job.
When we began planning on having another baby I became really anxious about dealing with PPD again. I was proactive enough to talk with my doctor and get on antidepressants when I became pregnant. When Josh was born I had a much, much, much easier time. Second baby, sure, but the meds helped too. I felt ready to get off of them before he reached six months.
I got a full time teaching job before Josh was a year old. I've dealt with parenting and working full-time over the last five years pretty well I would say. I've managed most of my emotions and stress with running. I haven't been on antidepressants at all. I've definitely had the usual roller-coaster periods but never been as sad as I was the past couple of weeks.
All of this being said, I would like to share the few things that have helped me.
Here are my tips for dealing with depression and anxiety for what they're worth:
1. Let your closest friends and family know that you're feeling down.
2. Make sure to get outside, sunshine or not, every day.
3. Make yourself run or do whatever other kind of exercise you typically like to participate in even though you don't feel like it.

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Othman Ayed Hamdan, who was acquitted of terrorism-related charges for posts he made on social media last year, is suing both the provincial and federal governments for when he argues is a violation of his charter rights.
According to the Canadian Press, Hamdan was arrested in Fort St. John in the summer of 2015 and charged with four terror-related offences for 85 Facebook posts in which he supported some actions of Islamic State militants and celebrated "lone wolf" terrorists. A B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled last year that Hamdan's comments might have been offensive, but they didn't constitute inciting terrorism.
The 35-year-old Jordanian national remains incarcerated pending an immigration review. In his notice of civil claim, Hamdan argues that the only reason he is incarcerated is to stop him from accessing a computer and voicing his opinions, which he argues is a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
He says both the provincial and federal governments prosecuted him despite evidence supporting his guilt, chose to ignore evidence that supported his innocence, and caused him the loss of his liberty and reputation.
Neither government has filed a statement of defence, and none of the allegations have been proven in Court.

Network Promo: Coming Friday November 5
Some of these articles are easy to write. Some, not so much. And occasionally, there's one that seems impossible at first. That's the case this week, but the solution has been found. See what it is this Friday.
Five quotes:
Whether is was to simply amuse himself, or just to spar with the numerous suspects verbally…
…behind those televised charms and smart plots was a difficult and tumultuous journey.
"It's the same thing as dropping a baby off a 40-story building as far as they're concerned."
…leaving money on the table is something Hollywood simply can't understand…
"So basically I do what I think is the right thing, and let them think what they please."
Slight violation of the rules here, as this series technically ran two seasons (and could have run three or more, except for the actions of its star), and yet, it was shorter than some of the other shows that have been featured here so far. Don't worry, it just looks impossible. All will be revealed, this Friday @ 8/7 Central!
