This test checks to see whether an infection is caused by a bacterium or a virus. It can also tell which specific virus is causing your infection.
Viral infections can cause illnesses anywhere in the body. This includes the skin, digestive tract, urinary tract, brain, lungs, and eyes. These illnesses can range from minor problems to serious diseases.
Viral cultures are done in different ways, depending on your condition and the virus the healthcare provider thinks you may have. You may need to give a sample of blood, urine, or bodily fluids. In general, your test sample will be treated in the lab to keep the cells alive and allow them to grow. After a certain period of time, your culture sample will be checked to see if viruses are growing.
You may need this test if your healthcare provider needs to find out whether you have a medical problem caused by a virus. Viral infections include bronchitis, pneumonia, meningitis, and encephalitis.
Your healthcare provider may also order tests using bodily fluids or tissue samples to look for:
The genetic material of the virus
Antibodies that your body has made against a virus
Test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, the method used for the test, and other things. Your test results may not mean you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider what your test results mean for you.
Normal results are negative, meaning you don't have the virus in your body. Positive results mean that a virus grew in the culture and that you have a viral infection.
Depending on your illness and the type of virus that could be causing it, a healthcare provider may need a sample of:
Fluid from the back of your nose or throat
Fluid and cells from a skin rash
Cerebrospinal fluid
Amniotic fluid
Having a blood test with a needle carries some risks. These include bleeding, infection, bruising, and feeling lightheaded. When the needle pricks your arm or hand, you may feel a slight sting or pain. Afterward, the site may be sore.
Other tests need a sample of cerebrospinal fluid, which is taken through a lumbar puncture in your lower back. During this procedure, a healthcare provider puts a needle between the bones of your spine and draws out a sample of fluid. Risks from a lumbar puncture include discomfort while the needle is inserted, headache, infection, bleeding, and brain herniation, which is rare but life-threatening.
Providing a urine sample poses no risks.
Waiting too long after infection can affect your results. If you have a viral infection, a sample for the culture should be taken soon after you develop symptoms for the best chance of capturing viruses. The test may be less useful later in the illness.
You don't need to prepare for this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

We are all used to the summer flying by, and this year is no exception. That being the case, it's definitely not too early to start making Thanksgiving plans. When you rent a timeshare for a family Thanksgiving vacation you'll need to find a rental that is available over that week. We have three great suggestions, so start your planning here, and now!
- Orlando, Florida
There are loads of Thanksgiving/Christmas events planned at the various theme parks in Orlando, which would make an exciting Thanksgiving destination. The beautiful Marriott's Grande Vista resort in Orlando has several timeshare rentals available right now for Thanksgiving week. Some of these sleep up to 8 people giving you a wonderful opportunity to make this a real family experience.
This gorgeous resort is minutes away from Walt Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios (ready to see the brand-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter?!). And when you simply want to stay at the resort, there's plenty to keep everyone busy, including onsite world-class golf, four heated swimming pools, a video arcade game room, and even a BBQ and picnic area.
- Las Vegas, Nevada
Timeshare rentals are currently available at the fabulous Marriott's Grand Chateau for Thanksgiving week. Las Vegas is known the world over as the "Entertainment Capital of the World," and for good reason. There are many fun, family-oriented activities and events in Las Vegas, so don't be afraid to make this a real family celebration.
This beautiful resort's design evokes the casual elegance of the mansions of Southern France. Staying here puts you within a 5-minute walk of all the excitement and glitter of The Strip. Walk your turkey dinner off with a stroll to the free Bellagio Fountain Show, or the free Mirage Volcano Eruption, or take a quick shuttle to the free Laser Light Show on Freemont Street – all family-friendly.
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
How much more luxurious could you get than to make your family's Thanksgiving celebration a real beach vacation? At Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes you'll find yourself at a luxury beachfront resort that is reminiscent of both the style of a southern mansion and a Mediterranean villa. Located on the Grand Strand you're family will find plenty to do, and here in the fall the weather is fine and the water is warm and inviting.
Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand is home to an array of tourist attractions which include miles of beautiful beaches and many golf courses, as well as a number of amusement parks, an aquarium, and the very popular Myrtle Beach State Park.
And remember, even when on vacation, with a timeshare rental you can still prepare your family's traditional Thanksgiving feast in your own fully-equipped kitchen.

The St George's Cathedral Consort will join Brittish group I Fagiolini as part of the Perth International Arts Festival (PIAF) in 2012. Highlights include Spem in Alium by Tallis which will be sung with one person for each of the piece's forty polyphonic parts.
From the PIAF website:
Immerse your senses in a haunting, illuminating and mesmeric concert by polyphonic masters I Fagiolini, the only early music group ever awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society's Ensemble Prize.
Thought lost for 400 years, Alessandro Striggio's Mass in 40 Parts is believed to have inspired Thomas Tallis' seminal Spem in Alium. Involving five groups of voices and instruments, textures from 40 individual parts are woven into a stirring sonic matrix before rising spectacularly into 60 parts for a grand finale.
Fresh from their acclaimed Decca recording of Striggio and Tallis, I Fagiolini led by director Robert Hollingworth join with St George's Cathedral Consort Choir for this exceptional evening of 16th-century Renaissance music.
Striggio Mass in 40 Parts
Tallis Spem in Alium
Works by Willaert, Lassus, Palestrina, Gabrieli, Victoria and Gibbons

Because it is a thing of beauty to witness and because the results make such a huge difference in sonics, I'd like to take you through the process of mounting, aligning, and optimizing a moving-coil phono cartridge the way an expert does it. That expert is my friend and TAS colleague Andre Jennings.
Although I am capable of handling several of these set-up chores on my own, I generally leave the fine-tuning to Andre. He's had experience with just about every cartridge and tonearm currently on the market (as well as many that are no longer marketed), and has set up cartridges and tonearms for friends and colleagues throughout the Midwest and for manufacturers at trade shows. His expertise is, IMO, unrivaled.
The photos I've taken of Andre's work actually involve the setup of two different cartridges in two different tonearms—the Goldfinger Statement in the DaVinci Master Reference Virtu tonearm and the Ortofon MC Anna in the Kuzma 4Point tonearm.
Like old age, cartridge setup—done right—is not for sissies. It is an arduous, painstaking process that requires nerves of steel and infinite patience. If, like me, you tend towards clumsiness or near-panicky fits of pique when handling very small, very delicate items, you would be well-advised to leave cartridge setup to an expert like Andre—or to an analog maven of your acquaintance or a retailer with a good deal of experience in the field. The cartridges being installed here are anything but cheap—$8500 (Anna) to $15,000 (Statement)—and getting fed up and doing something careless or stupid while handling them can end up costing you a lot of money.
Andre begins, of course, by mounting the cartridge in the tonearm's headshell—here the Goldfinger Statement in the DaVinci Audio Lab Master Reference Virtu. Unlike the headshell of DaVinci's previous flagship Grandezza tonearm, the Virtu's is removable, which makes attaching a cartridge to it a bit easier (although it also adds a potentially resonant "joint" to the structure of the 'arm). Obviously the width of the mounting screws has to be compatible with both the slots in the headshell and the screwholes in the cartridge, and the length of the screws has to be sufficient to clear the added height of the headshell, while still fastening firmly into the cartridge body. (Nowadays, most cartridges have screwholes tapped into their bodies—a big improvement over the so-called Golden Age of Vinyl, when cartridges only came with molded plastic loops on either side of their plastic chassis and had to be attached to the headshell with screws, washers, and nuts, adding difficulty to the mounting process and resonant mass to the entire setup.)
Before alignment Andre snugs the screws down but doesn't fully tighten them, as the cartridge will need to be moved forward and back in the headshell and twisted slightly side-to-side to achieve proper alignment.
Step two is attaching the tonearm leads to the output pins at the back of the cartridge. Although I'm not showing you the process—just the result—this is (or, at least, can be) a tricky little step, depending on how handy you are. You have to use the right tool for this job, and fingers aren't it. You'll need tweezers or small needle-nose pliers to do it right—and you'll still have to be careful! The stylus of a cartridge, like the Goldfinger Statement here illustrated, is completely unprotected by the cartridge body—sticking out in front of it like a tiny invitation to disaster. If you seek to gain leverage while attaching the clamps of the color-coded tonearm leads to the (usually) color-coded cartridge pins by putting a finger on the front or side of the cartridge, you may very well bump that stylus with some force if your finger slips, and, folks, take it from someone who knows: You do not want to hit the stylus of a Goldfinger Statement (or any cartridge, for that matter) with your finger. Keeping the stylus guard on the cartridge when attaching the leads is the safest procedure, and what Andre has done here.

19 July 2005 – Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni
The official stance is that Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni were found guilty of raping a minor – an even younger child of just 13. But this may also be a cover story for the real reason – that the boys were gay.
Worryingly, some interpret Islamic (Shari'a) law as grounds for executing homosexuals, says Wikipedia, however there are laws protecting children from the death penalty.
Human Rights Watch has been vocal in its criticism of the hangings, not least because Iran is said to be one of five remaining countries which still allow juvenile hangings.
However, Iran refuted the criticism, branding the punishment just and in return for the boys' crimes, which are said to have been rape, alcohol consumption and public breach of the peace, according to the BBC. Indeed, Iranians apparently deem that 15-year-olds are adults by law.
Yet, some sources add further fuel to the controversy by saying the boys were just 14 and 16 at the time of their deaths.
The obvious mystery surrounding this case has led to harsh criticism from the gay and human rights camps, who continue to decry the general treatment of homosexuals in the Middle East.
Whatever their supposed 'crimes', the two boys were strung up today and the last few minutes of their short lives were poignantly captured for the world to see – there exists both photographic and video footage of the boys' dying minutes as they were hanged publicly on this day in 2005 in Mashhad.
The last word goes to HRW's Scott Long who says, 'If we want to challenge Iran's government, we need facts. There is enough proof of torture and repression that we can do without claims of 'pogroms''.

Very, very disturbing how Iran seems so eager to execute youths. Not only this, but the reports of virgin girls who are arrested, raped – so that they will go to Hell (i.e., not go to Paradise) and executed. If I did not know better, I would believe it was Devil Worship with Human Sacrifice. The big problem is, I don't really know better. And anyone who says they do is only "making excuses for the Nazis".
Iam a very strong believer in the death penalty, but what the do to kids by hanging them is barbaric more so because they are gay, are they still living in the past. The other thing is how they rape female kids and put them in prison to eventually be hanged, it's beyond pathetic it's f***ing barbaric, excuse my French but it makes my blood boil.
Please bear in mind that that most of these kids, especially the girls have done nothing at all worthy of prison sentences, let alone a death sentence. In this particular case, everyone who has closely investigated agrees that almost all of the charges, aside from being gay, were nothing but lies to deflect criticism and justify a killing that was completely unjust and done mostly to terrorize the people of Mashhad city and of Iran.

White papers
Produced from the inaugural Society 4.0 Forum, held in Melbourne in November 2018, focused on Shaping the Digital Economy for Good.
Produced from the inaugural Society 4.0 Forum, held in Melbourne in November 2018, focused on Shaping the Digital Economy for Good.
Launched in 2018, our Society 4.0 initiative includes a yearly event – the Society 4.0 Forum – and a program of research and development with partners to vision a future for society.
We've created seven digital white papers, listed below, scroll down to view the videos or transcripts.
Nick Davis (World Economic Forum) spoke about the need for humanity to be the core focus of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Ed Santow (Australian Human Rights Commission) spoke about the risks and threats of big social change, especially regarding the trend for trusting machines to make important decisions for us, rather than trusting other human beings and their decision making abilities.
Vyki Englert's (BrightHive) discussion centered around practical advice for practitioners. Based on the presumption that the technology the government needs isn't hard, instead change is hard, and a belief that technology could solve society services problems faster.
Tris Lumley (Think New Philanthropy Capital) focused on what happens when user voice, collaboration and technology collide, with a particular focus on the non-profit sectors, and the role the non-profit sector plays for social good and social impact.
Beth Webster (Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research Impact and Policy, Swinburne University of Technology) views industry 4.0 as automation + data exchange + digital technologies. Beth discussed the major transformations in the workplace and the implications for workers.
Bronwyn Fox (Manufacturing Futures Research Institute, Swinburne) discusses the mindful approach to digitalisation needed to ensure a positive impact on society, enabling us to solve big problems around energy, communications and transport.
Andrew Dettmer (Australian Manufacturers Workers Union) discussed Australia's decline in union membership, and how unions work for the aspirations of workers.

I'm being scolded by the author of one of the world's most famous travel books because I don't know much about sing-sing.
Patricia Schultz, the travel journalist and Trafalgar ambassador who wrote The New York Times bestseller 1000 Places To See Before You Die, is telling me Papua New Guinea is one of those places.
Schultz went there a few years ago for sing-sing which, she explained, was an annual event that saw tribes gather from across the islands to share their cultures and compete in dance, song and costume.
She couldn't believe I'd never heard of this wonderful tradition in a neighbouring country, just three flying hours from Brisbane. She couldn't believe so few Australians knew much about Papua New Guinea at all, much less visited more.
"It was one of my most interesting trips ever," the New York-based writer told news.com.au.
"I was so proud. I was telling my Australian friend, 'I'm going to Papua New Guinea,' and nobody had been. Nobody was even interested. But it really is a place you should consider.
"They have the most phenomenal headdresses in birds of paradise because they have the most birds of paradise species of any place on Earth, and all have the pierced nose and grass skirts … it's a National Geographic cover from another century.
"There weren't many white people there. There were so many of them and so few of us, but they make you feel so welcome. They're so thrilled that you think what they're doing is of interest enough to get you there."
Schultz was in Australia this month to promote Trafalgar tours, which offers 302 trips across seven continents.
And while many of us have not been to PNG, she finds us to be a very well-travelled lot.
Australians travel and we travel far. It's something we have over Americans, Schultz said.
"We were doing the Baltic cruise and we met a lovely couple from Sydney and they were staying away for six weeks and I thought, that is not anything for an American to ever dream of doing," she said.
"Because for us to take our two weeks (of annual leave time) together is an exceptional thing, and then you worry whether your desk is going to be there when you get back. It's usually a week here and a week there because the world is going to end if you take them together.
"Do you know how many Australians own a passport?" she asked. (The latest figure from the Australian Passport Office is 57 per cent.) "With Americans, I am always very embarrassed to say, it's 35 per cent.
"In the same breath we have a fantastic, massive country that's absolutely chocka-block with possibilities. It's not like we have 90 per cent of an interior outback. You can drive from (US) coast to coast in either five days, or five years if you stop in every place along the way that takes your interest."
"So you're far more travelled, seemingly, than the average American. But we've probably seen more of our country than you have (of Australia)."
But, she said, the important thing was that people made travel a priority.
"Time is very precious and we have so very little of it," she said.
"I put so many trips on my credit card when I had no idea how I was going to pay for them. You never, ever regret the trip you take; you regret the ones you don't take. Nobody ever said, 'Oh, I travelled too much' at the end of their life."
Schultz is probably responsible for a few maxed-out credit cards out there. While she didn't write 1000 Places To See Before You Die as a challenge, she's met plenty of diehard fans who have made it their life's mission.
She herself had visited about 60 per cent of those 1000 places when the book was published; now, she said, she's up to about 80 per cent.
But of all the places she has been, there is one country in Schultz's book she admitted she'd never visited.
"I have not been to New Zealand," she said.
"Every time I come here (to Australia) with New Zealand in your backyard I never have enough time.
"And it takes you, like, a year to get there from New York! I really need a chuck of time."
While in Australia, she explained some of her current favourite places to go, all of which are covered by Trafalgar tours.
Egypt and Turkey
"They were a little on the sideline because of the political situations but you're hearing a lot about them again," Schultz said.
"They've been longtime perennial favourites for a long time because both of them are so rich in history.
"And the Egyptian and Turkish people are some of the nicest people. I think a lot of it is the Arab hospitality because that's one of the tenants of their culture, that you are a guest, therefore you are a god in their country.
"They treat you like royalty and I so love travelling to that part of the world, which most people hesitate to travel alone to, especially as a novice traveller or a first-timer. That's why I think these organised escorted holidays come into play.
"I've been to those places in all throughout the Middle East and you can come home with the experience of a lifetime but you miss out on so much of that history thousands of thousands of years and crossroads of civilisation over time.
"But I've really come to appreciate what Trafalgar offers because I've been many times but often those organised experiences topped them."
"I think Europe will always be the go-to place for Australia and America — it's where we share the most of our immigrant heritage — but Scandinavia is emerging.
"Norway I loved the most, because it's visually the most stunning with the mountains that go right down into these glacier-caved fjords and there's hundreds of them.
"If you go in the warm months, May through to September, you have the midnight sun and if you go during the winter months, it's the northern lights. So I would get on a plane to Scandinavia to see the northern lights alone. And the whole heritage of Vikings is great for families and kids."
Northern Ireland
"Ireland has long been a favourite destination but Northern Ireland is this recent, tacked-on extension because the Troubles, which people think are still happening, in fact have been over for years," Schultz said.
"But there are still things happening. They still have the gates that close at night that separate the Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods in Belfast. And with Outlander and Game of Thrones and all these shows that are shot there, there's a lot of interest.
"It's also a great place for kids because of leprechauns and castles, and the whiskey trail — although maybe not for kids — and it's easy to do independently because we kinda do speak the same language, and they're such lovely people."
African safari
"I never like answering the question, 'What is your top three favourites?' but Africa to me, I will tell you, should be one of my top three, because of the safari experience and everything that comes with it — it's not about the animals at all," she said.
"But the countryside is so untrammelled and pristine and beautiful and very varied from one country or region to the next. And the people are so nice. The African people — it's like … you come for the elephants and you leave with new-found friendships.
"I think it's one of the most exciting destinations (Trafalgar) offers. It's more accessible and more easily bookable, which is good as it's kind of overwhelming when there are 50 countries in Africa."

Black-Eyed 'Ulu Patties
Patties are among the easiest and tastiest ways to serve 'ulu. They can be made with 'ulu at any maturity stage and incorporate virtually any other ingredient. Try adding 'ulu to your next homemade burger or corned beef hash to reduce red meat consumption, or make the vegetarian recipe below and feel free to substitute other herbs, vegetables, and protein with what you have readily available.
¾ lb mature breadfruit
¼ lb ripe breadfruit
1 cup black-eyed peas or other legumes, cooked
1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
Olive oil, for frying
Steam 'ulu until soft. Place in a bowl with egg and mix together with a fork thoroughly. Add other ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Using damp hands, form disc-shaped patties and set aside. Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium high. Once hot, place patties on pan to ensure they don't touch each other. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve on its own, atop a green salad, or in a bun.

This tool will allow you to pull information from your clock in machine directly into employees' planners in the form of a timesheet. You can do this as often as you prefer - daily, weekly etc.
It is vital that all requirements stated below are met and understood before choosing to go forward with this integration:
- The clock-in machine you have is an Anviz or ZKTeco
- You have IT support or a member of staff who has knowledge on networking, firewalls and internet servers to set this up.
- You have a fixed IP address - or use a DDNS service that provides you with a static host name which acts as a fixed IP.
- The clock-in machine has a fixed internal IP address
- You are happy to port forward (port map) your rooter to the clock in machine
--Matching Clock IDs to Employee IDs--
When you register an employee on your Anviz clock and record their biometric information (i.e. fingerprint), the clock provides you with an ID. These IDs are all numeric. For example, the first person you register will get ID '1' and the 2nd ID '2', etc.
Within the People system we need to match the ID on the clock with the relevant employee.
On People®, in the Employment tab of an employee record there is a field called "Time & Attendance ID". Once you have an employee's ID that was generated by the Anvis clock, you'll need to add this ID into the 'Time & Attendance ID' field within their individual record.
--Setting up--
1. Create and copy an API key that includes the endpoints 'Employee' and 'Timesheet'. On how to create an API key, please see: http://help.peoplehr.com/integrations/creating-an-api-key
2. Once you have created the API key, click on the 'Plugins' tab:
3. Select the tab 'New Requests'
4. Select 'Time Attendance Sync'
You will be presented with this screen:
5. Enter API Key - Paste the API key in this field
6. Fill out the relevant information based on your specific clock-in machine, IP address and Port. You can do this for up to 5 clock-in devices.
Please note: The 'Comm Key' field will only need to be populated if you select ZKTeco under the 'Maker' field.
7. At the bottom you will see the 'Report Mode' tick box. If ticked, this process will not transfer clock-in data to employee's record, this will simply create a report to download. If unticked, this will transfer the data as well as creating a report to download.
8. Click 'Submit' to submit your request.
You will then find this in the 'Requests' tab - the most recent request will be at the top. It can take up to 2 minutes to be accepted.
If successful, you will be able to select the 'Download' button to download this report. If failed, select the red icon to view an error report - you can send this file over to our team at email@example.com to review and assist.
Please note: If you get 'Failed' status, this may not mean it has failed for all - it may not have run for one or more employees for a specific reason. You can view this in the master log.
--Schedule to repeat automatically--
Once you have made a plugin request, you can schedule this Plugin to run automatically. By clicking the 'Schedule' button on the 'Requests' page, you'll be directed to this screen:
- Description - will be the name of the schedule, so you can see what it is set to at a quick look.
- Start date - When you wish for the scheduling to start.
- End date - You can leave this blank if you wish for this to be continuous.
- Repeat every - Select when you wish for this schedule to repeat.
- Status - You can set this as inactive at any time.
- Select the days you wish to run this on - you may not wish for notifications to push through on weekends for example.
- Click 'Save'.
You can view all your schedules plugins in the 'Schedule' tab.
--Install Locally without Plugin--
We also have another tool that provides the same result, but you can use this externally from PeopleHR - without the Plugin. It works on the same basis as above - you will need to specify the IP address and port of the clocking device.
Our latest version can be found at the below link:
Once opening, you will be presented with this screen:
The difference between this and the Time & Attendance sync found under our Plugins is that you will need to specify an output setting. This setting is to specify the location where any log files generated by the tool will stored on your PC.
The other new option can be found under the schedule configuration section, this interval setting, this allows you to set an interval in minutes that the Time & Attendance sync will try to sync your clocking data to People HR.
Once the setup is completed you will be able to save the configuration for later this is also picked up when the tool is run automatically.
When you installed the sync tool it also creates a service, this allow the time data to be sync automatically to People, this can be found under services on your machine and be found under the name 'PHR TimeAttendanceSync'.
Once located you will need to right click on the service and select the start option.

Brad Daines
Chief Resident, Orthopaedic Surgery
University of Vermont
Brad received his MD from the University of Washington, and his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Utah. He is currently the Chief Resident in Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Vermont and is pursuing a fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery. As Chief Resident he enjoys teaching medical students and junior residents, operating- specifically joint replacement surgery. His research interests have grown and he looks forward to contributing to the field throughout his career.
How has your participation in the Bioscience Program had an impact on your career?
The Bioscience Undergraduate Research Program helped cement the importance of the scientific method in my thinking. Every question should be approached with precision, a dose of skepticism and reason. This has served me very well in my education.
What advice would you give current students who aspire to follow a similar career path?
Work hard and don't give up. Success in the medical field comes from persistence and steadiness as much as intelligence. Try to broaden your interests both academically and personally. If you choose medicine, remember that it is a vast commitment and that it asks much from you and your family but it rewards richly. Remember to enjoy the moment even as you plan for the future!
What accomplishments are you most proud of (professionally and/or personally)?
I am most proud professionally of matching in orthopaedic surgery. I come from a family of surgeons (my grandfather, father and two brothers are orthopaedists) and it means a lot to be able to follow in their footsteps. My personal life has been going well too; I recently married Maji Chien and we are enjoying life in Vermont.
What do you enjoy doing with your free time? Family? Hobbies? Interests?
I love to fly fish and golf. Maji and I enjoy hikes and walks with our dog and trips to NYC to watch the opera. We love restaurants (Maji has even owned one!) and good food. I love Boise State and Utah football. Maji, sadly, cheers for the University of Georgia.

Incense - A Sonnet
The Poem
Bereaved, forsaken, lonely, dying luck
Another figure passing undeterred
Embarrassed, fluttered, never looking back
Damp incense doesn't burn, the man inferred
Red hair, freckles on his chin, he still smiles
Another sun goes down, closing the day
Returns with a penny or two with him
Damp incense set aside for thanks and pray
A foggy morrow will bring no more hopes
Yet he sets foot on the cold winter snow
Until the moonset he gazes and waits
Feet numb from wind like a venom arrow
Red cheeks turn white, a passerby returns
Miles from his cold shroud, a damp incense burns
This is the first time I tried my hands on a sonnet. The inspiration for this poem comes from two different sources. One is a story that I had read in childhood named "The Little Match Girl", and two is the child I watched the other day standing in the cold trying to sell incense sticks to complete strangers.
A word about sonnet: A sonnet is a form of poetry that consists of 14 lines. Each line has 10 syllables, and the pattern is that each non-stressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable. The lines can rhyme in any order but the last two lines must form a couplet.
© 2012 Rinita Sen
Rinita I love this too, not just the sonnet itself but the inspiration behind it. I remember the story "The Little Match Girl" but the girl selling incense sticks must have really added to it.
Oh, so beautiful Rinita! I love it! The pathos is carried in every line, wafting in the sweet scent of incense. I'm happy to see you've posted this today. Sonnet on Poet...
That poem is nice.
Well worth a second read Senoritaa. I love how you explain your poetry. That really helps me understand it better.
..not too sure how poetry works - I just write it with no worries as to form or tradition - but I always know what I like - and me likey this - very much so and I will burn my last incense stick for you as they send my still body over the calm lake - and I wake up and yell - hey wait a minute there's lots more SENOIRITAA to read so buzz off and let me be to say OLE I will see you another day from lake erie time ontario canada 9:18am
Beautiful imagery! It does have a bit of the little match girl feel about it. Lovely work!
You certainly do breathe life into your words.
Awesome and an up up and away without a doubt.
Take care and enjoy your day.
Up, awesome, beautiful, and interesting votes. This was a great poem Senoritaa. Perfect title. You can take the most simple of things and turn them into gold. Your are the definition of poetry.
Very beautiful. I really like it.
Lovely,Loved the story behind the sonnet..Awesome..

This fits your. Japanese: The Game, the breakaway hit with linguists and Otaku alike, flips the script on traditional language education. Playing the Language teaches you the grammar BEFORE the vocab, giving you a structure on which to hang new words. In addition to providing the same kinds of benefits as total-immersion language learning, we've gamified the process. The more you play, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more complicated your sentences can become, which means more points for you! Plus, the game grows with you; every expansion adds topical vocab as well as rules for new kinds of play. Just as a deck of playing cards contains an endless variety of games (solitaire, hearts, poker) so too does Japanese: The Game. UM is proud to unveil the upgraded Japanese: The Game V2. While maintaining the spirit of the original gameplay, V2 features larger decks, better rules, and JLPT: N5 alignment. Core Decks now contain 108 cards (instead of 72) and Expansions now include 54 cards (instead of 36). We've also redesigned the cards to make them easier to read and drive players towards a holistic-concept approach instead of a one-to-one word exchange. V2 cards will always be backwards compatible with previous decks, but now include additional rule sets to accommodate both beginners as well as more advanced learners. We've also developed rules for single players, and even larger groups. The Japanese Language Proficiency Test is THE standard, and UM has reoriented the vocabulary and cultural selections in V2 to best prepare players for the kinds of questions they'll encounter on the N5 (the easiest level of certification). To prepare for the READING sections, the cards present words and expressions as whole concepts in English without a direct one-to-one translation, as well as the word and example sentences in hiragana, katakana, and kanjii. To prepare for the LISTENING sections, the cards contain QR codes tied directly to the pronunciation of that card.

This paper presents a dual-cycle CBR model in the domain of recipe generation. The model combines the strengths of deep learning and similarity-based retrieval to generate recipes that are novel and valuable (i.e. they are creative). The first cycle generates abstract descriptions which we call "design concepts" by synthesizing expectations from the entire case base, while the second cycle uses those concepts to retrieve and adapt objects. We define these conceptual object representations as an abstraction over complete cases on which expectations can be formed, allowing objects to be evaluated for surprisingness (the peak level of unexpectedness in the object, given the case base) and plausibility (the overall similarity of the object to those in the case base). The paper presents a prototype implementation of the model, and demonstrates its ability to generate objects that are simultaneously plausible and surprising, in addition to fitting a user query. This prototype is then compared to a traditional single-cycle CBR system.

When I tried to get into the right hand lane right after I exited the freeway, I couldn't. And that is when the tears really came. Today I cried, for the first time, in a really really long time.
I didn't cry because I couldn't get in the right hand lane. I cried, because it hurt to look over my shoulder to be aggressive enough to get in the right line.
Three days ago I woke up and my neck hurt. Not just a kink in the neck hurt, but REALLY hurt. My neck pain has gotten progressively worse and is now affecting the pain in my shoulders as well. I can't look in my blind spot anymore when I want to switch lanes. My time in the car, is sometimes the best part of my day, and the only thing that I feel in the car is pain. Today, when I got to class, all I could think about was how much pain I was in...I looked across the room and saw a girl who was moving her neck back and forth and tilting it to the left as she listened to the teacher, and I envied her! I wanted my neck to be able to move back and forth.
I am on all kinds of good meds right now, that put me to asleep and woke me up with minimal pain, but I still know the pain is there. Now, all I can think about it, is the fact that most the pain is gone, and I fear for when it will come back again.
My pain is not only ruining my life right now, but running it.
I take advantage of my mobility.
My neck is restraining me from enjoyment, and it is driving me crazy.
In worship, I saw a girl in the choir singing with her dog next to her. She is blind. I thought to myself, "I can't believe she can't even see the person standing next to her, or the dog that takes her from place to place, or the bread that is being broken for communion." I just stared at her, knowing she couldn't stare back.
I take advantage of my ability to see and enjoy the art that God has painted before me.
I might be in pain today and the next day. But today, I can see and walk.
Today, I can be thankful for my abilities that I do not deserve.

There is simply too much to fit into one blog, and since it's National Encourage a Young Writer Day, I challenge you youngsters and young-at-heart to write your own experiences of The Baldpate Inn, with all its unique attributes (and I'm sure I've missed a few!) and share them with us. Here's a few prompts. Haven't had a chance to visit us yet? Check out our video tour.
World famous Key Collection and curiosities
Fresh and healthy Soup and Salad Buffet, enjoyed on beautiful handmade stoneware
Rustic lodging (My favorite description comes from an early brochure, "All rooms in the Inn are equipped with hot and cold water. We believe in "roughing it" with a degree of comfort. The relative enjoyment of a bath is not necessarily a matter of geography.")
Three-course breakfast! (Do the cinnamon rolls need their own composition? Probably!) And if you're not a Bed & Breakfast guest, don't despair! Just make reservations for a special celebration of Breakfast at Baldpate!
Evening snacks and Peachy-Keen (Are you noticing a food theme? It is a Love Language, right?)
Views from the front deck and the porch swing
Library and movie time
Sun deck parties
Aspen autumn glory
Photo and art collections (Stay tuned for more on our photo collection!)
Hand hewn log furniture
Fireplaces: the warmth, sight, smell, and sounds of wood crackling ablaze
Hummingbirds, wildlife and bears
Your own memories!
While The Baldpate Inn means something different to each guest who visits, at the heart of it all is a desire to serve all with excellent hospitality. Your experience is certain to be a memory you will cherish especially if you write it down.

Articles tagged with: Motivation
Like a child, we always seek refuge and hope in the very place that we could be ourselves. When the world turns her back on you and no one seems to understand, there is a place you can always go to where hope grows and confidence takes place.
Never blame the path for how you feel, rather take control of your strides and enjoy the walk. It's your chosen walk.
It was their seeds of disbelieve and doubts that push me further to want to prove them wrong; that indeed with determination to succeed, we can all achieve the very dream which we have once believed in when we were still a child.
Decide on what you want in life. Don't let others distract you from reaching your goals and dreams. You are not created to live their dreams and expectations; you are created to live a life of your own.
The strength of a person cannot be determined by his/her appearance. The surface always seems calmer and stronger than what's within. It's okay to cry when the world collapses on you. Just remember to rise up again on your feet to embrace the challenges ahead.

Essentially all of Latin America has a reputation for street crime, gang warfare, and political instability. Of course it's not accurate, and the citizens of these countries will be the first to tell you that. However, it was different with Venezuela. In preparation for my trip to the country, rather than dispel the rumours, Venezuelans confirmed the horror stories, didn't insist on coming and actually, quite sternly, advised against it. Why was this? What had happened?
To begin, much like Canada, Venezuela has a natural resource economy heavily reliant on the production of oil. According to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), they have the largest proven oil reserve in the world. In addition, due to the country's fierce socialism since 1999, this industry (amongst many others in the country) is nationalized which means the country acquires a high (80+) percentage of the profits they earn. They weren't doing too badly for a country that outright rejected neoliberal political influences, mainly from the United States. However, after their beloved leader Hugo Chavez died in 2013 and oil prices plummeted in 2015, their economy, political stability and quality of life followed suit.
Adriana Pérez of the capital of Caracas said "everything has increased in price, the most affected being the cost of food. And if it's not the price, it's the lack of availability." Venezuelans have had to wait in line for hours just to get the essentials, such as toilet paper, while others have resorted to heading west for the border of Colombia.
Chavez's replacement and current president, Nicolas Maduro, has not found a solution to his country's downfall. Due to insufficient energy production, earlier in the year Maduro installed a temporary three day weekend for government workers, which fairly quickly became a five day weekend, shortening the school week and government services in the process. In addition, just this month he raised the minimum wage for the third time in 2016 to just over 22,000 bolivar per month (about 23 american dollars) in an effort to help those who need it the most. Desperate times indeed.
The currency situation is a very interesting and stressful part of planning a trip to Venezuela. There are four different rates of exchange in the country. The two most important ones are the government rate of one American dollar for 250 bolivar (you don't want this one), and the other being the black market rate of around 900 – 1100 bolivar per american dollar (you want this one). The black market rate is illegal but is commonly used by Venezuelans. This rate is also essential to tourists, the problem is finding a trusting person to change it for you. Meeting someone, anyone in the country that might help you with changing money should be a priority before coming to this country since the bank machines and ATMs use the official government rate and can only dispense 6,000 bolivar (6 dollars) per day, regardless of whether you're a Venezuelan or tourist (there are people in the airport who will change your money at a lower, yet preferential rate over the official one).
This means that foreigners coming to the country bring with them enough American dollars to last them the duration of their stay in Venezuela. The American dollars are then traded at an agreed rate (anything over 750 bolivar per dollar is fair). Currency exchange is further complicated by the fact that there is over 500% inflation of the bolivar. So prepare yourself to get handed a stack of bills, even if you're only exchanging $20. The highest denomination that currently exists in the country is the 100 bolivar bill (worth about 10 cents American), the lowest being the 2 (if the bills were more absorbent, Venezuelans would be better off using the 2 bolivar bill in the bathroom rather than actual toilet paper). To put things into context, buying a juice at a restaurant costs around $2,000 bolivar, which requires you to count out 20 bills, at the least.
Low wages, high prices, and a corrupt, insufficient police force has led to significant increase of violence over the years, especially in Caracas. The capital has the highest homicide rate in the world for any city outside of war zone at 119 murders per 100,000 people. Assaults, robberies, and kidnappings are also up (do you want to travel here yet?). This isn't just a low income problem. Middle class men have been also been known to resort to crime in order to keep food on the table. The currency issue makes it more dangerous to tourists because criminals (and other desperate people) are aware of the complications regarding the bolivar. They most likely know that you are avoiding using your credit card and therefore, have lots of cash on you, which makes you a bigger and more tempting target for crime.
Corruption on a political and policing level is also widespread. Police road stops are very common and officers are known to check the bags of travellers for cash. If you have more cash than you're supposed to have (remember the legal limit of 6,000 bolivar per day) that could warrant an arrest or, more likely, a request from the officer to pay him for avoiding a charge. I was told to create a backstory as to why I had 40,000 bolivar with me despite just entering the country (my reason was that a Venezuelan, who I had met in Nicaragua, was leaving the country and no longer needed his bolivars and, thus, gave them all to me).
In most Latin American countries, they have the faces of religious figures plastered everywhere. In Venezuela it's the face of their deceased former president Hugo Chavez (equally as creepy in my opinion). It's as if he's still alive. His socialist ideology called 'Chavismo' is, in fact, living. It is still utilized in the country and has also heavily influenced other left-leaning governments in Latin America (such as Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua). After a while you feel as if you're in China or North Korea, other countries that continue to immortalize deceased former leaders. Perhaps even an Orwellian world where thought-police monitor your continued support of the government regardless of the situation they've put the country in. In any manner, it was difficult to separate genuine public support from the ubiquitous state propaganda (I assume a majority was the latter).
To say the least, Venezuela is not really set up for tourism at the moment. The amount of research and preparation needed to visit this county is unrivalled by its Latin neighbours, along with the potential danger associated with day-to-day life. A tour guide in Canaima National Park, in the southeast of the country, told me that five years ago over 100 people would reach the base of Angel Falls, while now he would be lucky to have 15. This decrease in tourism has made it more expensive to backpack here. Despite gas costing a fraction of a cent, transportation is still pricey and, unless you've come with a group of people, you'll likely have to hire a private car to yourself in order to bring yourself to many of Venezuela's beautiful sites.
In the end, I had no issues during my trip to the country. I did however, take the advice of friends (the same ones who told me not to come in the first place) and stuck to the more rural areas of the country, far from the chaos of Caracas. Venezuela is an extremely attractive place with some of the best beaches on the continent, thick Amazon rainforest, the tallest waterfall in the world, the amazing tepui plateaus of Roraima National Park, along with culturally rich indigenous communities along the Rio Orinoco. To a lover of politics, it is also the most interesting country on the continent to visit. 2017 may bring a referendum on the country's leadership; however any chance of stability will take years to arrive, regardless of what happens in the elections. So if the urge to visit is irresistible (as it was for me), simply prepare yourself and possibly look into organized tours that will further ensure your safety in one of South America's most beautiful countries. And remember, cheap gas!
P.S. I don't encourage breaking the law in Venezuela by trading foreign currency illegally. I was simply stating the reality of what happens there.

High summer heat-haze, syrupy air laden with insect and birdsong and occasional horse nickering, knowledge that there will be two weeks of no-work… Knots in my shoulders began unknotting. The tension of too many problems and being the one with workable solutions began to dissolve. My breathing was slowing and deepening. I could feel the beating pulse of my heart finding a new rhythm.
6 thoughts on "The Holiday – Part 13"
I take comfort in knowing that you're writing after the fact. Sounds like this vacation nearly killed you.
I almost feel guilty being so entertained by your various plights.
Oh dear. I really shouldn't be smiling never mind laughing. But I am. I hope you had lots of calamine lotion. If you had stood still and barked at them would they have gone around you I wonder. Nettles or death by trampling? Good choice.
Strangely – it was one of the best holidays I have had! Now, either that reveals a huge amount about the quality of my previous holidays – or I am a masochist…
Have read all 13 parts of The Holiday in one go and this is terrific stuff la mujer libre.
Please give us more installments.
SO funny.
And maybe get it published as a short story.
Hey Chloe…I am deeply flattered! And I will do my best to write more…
Truth is – my life can be a bit of a yarn at times (maybe cos of the kids – maybe cos I am often very daft) so there is a lot of raw material.
I was going to submit it to the Creative Writing dept at my old alma mater (I did an english lit degree and then a law degree at Glasgow). Tidied up a bit of course. Cos they are requesting submissions just now. I will let you know how that goes. But thanks for the encouragement.

WWE veteran Matt Hardy took to Twitter on Sunday night to thank the fans at the live event in Rochester, NY for the emotional sendoff he received.
For those that are unaware, Hardy has been dealing with a number of lingering issues with his lower back fusing into his pelvis and his in-ring career looks to be over or certainly limited to special appearances.
Hardy recently started as a backstage producer at SummerSlam and there are plans for this to become his full-time role with the company.
Thank you for a WONDERFUL & HEARTWARMING send off tonight, #WWERochester. I appreciate you. https://t.co/atr7w3TCWa— Matthew Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) August 27, 2018

Sorry man but you stopped in time. i have a crappy notebook from 2009 and i use windows 10 with no problem. It's your fault, not ankama's
Okay, so to let you know, I played wakfu for past 2 years. A fun game with nice graphics. wakfu and other games received a new launcher. And here's the problem: wakfu works for XP and Vista (in which I'm an user of Vista), but the new launcher doesn't work on these operation system.
Sure, I can buy a new pc or update my current to WIndows 7, but what if can't upgrade my pc? Or buy new pc?
It's like buying an old car, and at some date, it just stops working: it doesn't start, it doesn't play radio and etc. And you must buy a new car or change the engine and stuff. If something works on the system, it should work! like Starcraft II on XP, but by the new Battle.net, it doesn't works
The problem comes from Java's new forced requirements, I'm in your same boat with both graphic card and operative system. Basically, the launcher requires all that stuff, but the game itself can keep running with the same specs (at least if having Vista, no matter what the launcher says). You just have to use our alternative way:
· You get each updated and hotfixed versions from here. You save the ZIP file to disk, so be sure that you have around 2GB for storing it. Remember to delete the older ZIPs or they will end up eating a crapload of GBs in your hard disk.
· You manually unzip it in your current Wakfu directory, overwriting all older files from previous versions/hotfixes. This will prevent having to re-config it all if you used to uninstall and install from the scratch.
· You load Wakfu with the .BAT file located at your Wakfu directory inside in \bin\en (if you use the English language, if not, choose your desired language). In my case it's with win32.bat.
Basically, we have to rely on this method whenever there is an update and/or hotfix. Just let's hope that Wakfu itself doesn't require better specs in the future and leaves us out of business. For now, we can say "screw the launcher" and keep loading it the old way.
I have some questions:
- How to overwrite these files?
- Can I use the alternative way on steam ?
We live in an age where both hardware and software is more "backwards" compatible than it ever was. That being said, I think you're long overdue for an OS update.
You don't have to be stuck on Xp or Vista. I'm not sure what critical software is there that is preventing you from upgrading to 10, Almost all popular browsers have now decided to drop support for these said operating systems sooner or later. There is no point in staying on these outdates softwares any more.
You can upgrade your xp system to win10 without any issues, I have an old dual core laptop with win10 on it and it works fine. Considerably lighter than windows 7, win10 is.
There is also the option to just format and install Ubuntu or Linux Mint Operating systems on these machines and get wakfu with steam or the new launcher run on it just fine or even better.
What is it that is still preventing you from upgrading your operating system now, can also help you with the process if you need assistance, which i think you won't really since things are just click and continue now.
Youtube can also help in finding some videos with full instructions on how to install windows or linux on a device.
I mean, I could upgrade to windows 10 or 7, but I can't: I'm using my parents' pc, and it haves a lot of photos ( 45GB )
And they don't want to make the format and install new windows
Since it is about photos that you are worried about, then you can upload them to google photos. It gives unlimited storage for photos, Give it a try, I don't think you are devoid of a gmail account as well . If you have a slow network speeds like me, you can put it overnight to upload for a few days and proceed once the upload and backup is done to do a clean install of win10/os of your choice.
iNTiMiD4T0R|2020-01-16 16:00:51Since it is about photos that you are worried about, then you can upload them to google photos. It gives unlimited storage for photos, Give it a try, I don't think you are devoid of a gmail account as well .
Why would you want to give away 45GB of your photos to Google? You can buy a 1TB external USB drive for less than $70 USD and back up all your photos onto it.
Then reformat the computer drive and make two partitions, one for system (win, office, and any other work related apps) about 60-100GB in size, and reminder of the drive secondary partition where you put your "My Documents", photos, videos, games, etc. That way you can reinstall windows at any time (or restore from a backup) without losing your personal stuff.
Upgrading from Win7 to Win10 is a bad idea, as usually you have more trouble than it's worth. Clean install is the best option in the long run.
Win XP and win7 no longer have updates and support, making the computers highly unsafe.
Anyway, thanks TheRogueCat for the alternative way on how to play Wakfu on older systems
Thank you very much
That is the motive to not format the pc? Photos? buy a 64gb pendrive for godsake.
Btw keep all photos in one place is a recipe for disaster.
Mhmmm, I understand your problem. Just keep in mind Wakfu is a recent game so you need a "recent" pc/laptop.
The world is evolving and so the games. If you want to play a game of our time you can't use an old pc that old.
You said you can't buy a new pc so maybe you can't affrod it but you should at least search a really cheap one that can do it for you. You can even maybe sell yours or get a discount for the new pc you buy if you trade-in.
Good luck.
