Rajapalayam/Coimbatore: A case was registered against popular Tamil film lyricist and poet Vairamuthu for his alleged remarks against a Hindu Goddess recently.
A row had erupted after the national award-winning lyricist had reportedly made the comments against Andal, a Hindu Goddess, at a function in Rajapalayam.
Police said a case was registered against Vairamuthu, 64, based on a complaint from a Hindu Munnani functionary.
The complainant, Suri, stated that devotees of Goddess Andal were hurt by the poet's remarks.
In Coimbatore a group led by Sadagopa Ramanuja Jeeyar of Manavala Maamuni Mutt, staged a demonstration near a temple demanding that Vairamuthu tender an apology.
They threatened to go on an indefinite fast if he did not do so by January 16.
Investigation is underway, police said.

Hey - It's My Demo Reel
Below is my latest demo reel which shows a wide spectrum of work from corporate executive interviews, to sports marketing, to graphic intensive pieces. Please have a look and enjoy. Music is "American West" by Sun Airway.
"Leaderboard" Behind the Scenes
Filmed on location at the lovely Grand Del Mar hotel in San Diego, we had 4 KPMG Brand Ambassadors to be featured in this latest commercial. The energy on set was frenetic and at times chaotic, but the experience for all was memorable.
Ted Chubb - Jazz Trumpeter
I was lucky enough to get introduced to the talented Ted Chubb and was asked to help with his video bio. This is a piece that Ted can send to club promoters to help book gigs. Ted lives 6 months abroad in Switzerland, and six months stateside. For this piece, I produced, shot and edited. Here's a link to visit Ted's site.
Mariah Stackhouse - "Rock The Blue"
LPGA newcomer and Stanford grad, Mariah Stackhouse has joined the "Blue for Books" program at KPMG. When someone purchases a blue hat, three books are donated to a child in need. It's truly astounding to see that some kids have no books in their homes.
Commercial BTS Edit - "Glass Ceilings"
Another behind-the-scenes piece for the other commercial. Shot in San Diego in Decemober of 2014. Here's a link to the final commercial.
KPMG Alumni - Embrace the Legacy
A series of videos I produced to help strengthen the KPMG Alumni network. Filmed at a loft space in SOHO (NYC), and released via social media channels and shown at in-person events.
Mobile Opportunity - Emerging Technology
This is one of a series of videos about emerging technology in business. This example focuses on mobile devices and how they are and aren't used in business organizations.

Tips for making an application
There isn't a right or a wrong way to write your application, but there are a number of things that you should consider to make your application stand out from the crowd. Knowing what the assessors look for is the key to catching their eye.
How can I write a good application?
Selectors will take into account a number of different factors when assessing your application:
- Your academic profile (qualifications and predicted A-level grades)
- Your personal statement
- Your academic reference
You can help to make your academic reference relevant by making sure that the person who will be writing your reference knows why you want to study the subject you have chosen to apply for.
Warwick offers intensive, challenging and stimulating undergraduate degrees and our successful applicants will be those who can convince us that their qualifications, motivation and experience will suit them well for such degree courses. You should be able to demonstrate how your previous study and experiences have given you a keen interest in the subject to which you have applied. Additionally, a number of our courses require previous advanced-level study in a particular subject; any specific subject requirements for a particular course of study and listed by degree in the Degree A-Z as well as on the UCAS website.
You can also make your application stand out from the crowd by paying careful attention to what you put into and how you write your personal statement.
What should I include in my personal statement?
This could be your only chance to impress the selector. Before you write your statement you might want to consider the following:
- What is it that really interests you about this subject? Are there particular areas of the subject that really grab your attention and make you want to study it in more depth?
- Have you read widely outside your exam syllabus? Don't just list your wider reading; say what you thought about it, how it relates to other aspects of the subject, and how it has helped to develop your thinking.
- If you have applied for a joint or interdisciplinary degree, can you show that your are really committed to studying all the subjects that the degree entails, and have you made connections between the various areas of study?
- What do you hope following this course will do for you personally? What do you hope to get out of it?
- Do you have a particular career or area of work in mind which you hope the course will help you to enter?
- Assess your skills and abilities – what are your strengths and skills and how would you use and build on them in following this course?
Remember that the person reading your application form will want to know in what ways you 'connect' with your chosen subject. They will look for motivated students who can articulate their aims and have the potential to succeed on the course.
With this in mind, you might want to think about how any of your extra-curricular activities and/or work experience could illustrate your interest in your chosen subject or show evidence of skills which would be particularly useful to that field of study. Although we are keen to hear about your work experience and extra-curricular activities, they should not dominate your personal statement; remember that you are applying for an academic course of study, and the limited space available to you for your personal statement should predominantly focus on this.
You also need to think about the structure of your statement. A well-structured, thoughtfully written statement can convey your suitability for and commitment to the course. Take care with spelling and grammar, and make sure that your ideas are expressed clearly and intelligently.
Finally, make sure your statement reflects YOU and that you sound interested and interesting!
Important information to include
If you remember the following your application process will run more smoothly as we will be able to make a decision more quickly and we won't have to apply certain extra conditions to any offer of a place.
- Your application should contain a reference from a teacher at your most recent place of study.
- Your referee should state your predicted grades.
- If you are applying independently from a school or college ('Independent Apply') your referee should cite a school or college email address as a contact email, not a personal one.

Oh, Cambodia
Stuffed frog legs, rice wine and noodles good enough to knock pho right off the table — these are but a few delights of this Southeast Asian kingdom.
The lines in the cavernous ticket hall at Cambodia's Angkor Wat were already lengthy when we joined them at 5 a.m. Thankfully, the service was efficient, and we obtained our tickets in plenty of time to snag a prime space to see the sunrise over the main temple. As it rose, the sun's morning light revealed the building's immense beauty. And in the reflection ponds, its shimmering sister image gave us a once-in-a-lifetime photographic opportunity.
It was hard to imagine, as we looked at all the hundreds of people surrounding us, that in the 1990s, this site — the world's largest religious complex — was relatively unknown and only attracted a few thousand visitors every year. That's all changed now. In 2017, the 500-acre site attracted more than 2.5 million people. They come from all over Europe, Southeast Asia, Mainland China and other parts of the world. As well as seeing the sites, these visitors need places to stay, eat and drink.
In the same period, the population of Siem Reap, the town closest to Angkor Wat, has increased exponentially as well. From a small village situated on the edge of a jungle, it now hosts a population exceeding 1 million, which can double or triple depending on the tourist season.
This growth certainly has its economic benefits for the locals and those who have chosen to make the city their home in recent years. However, for travelers intending on seeking out more authentic food, the rapid growth presents considerable challenges— especially when you intend on finding the best things to eat and drink. ( This, in any case, is a priority for my wife and me.)
Eating well in Siem Reap definitely takes an amount of effort. While the restaurants that surround the raucous Pub Street — the epicenter for tourist activity — can provide a fun atmosphere to sip on a cold Cambodian beer, the food they offer is, on the whole, unexciting and an ersatz version of the delights of traditional Cambodian food.
There is great food on offer over in Siem Reap, nonetheless. Just leave the tourist-dense area and head across the narrow river, and the increase in the number of mopeds will give evidence that you have a better chance of finding restaurants with more appeal. Better still, rather than eating where the locals eat, why not use the locals, or at least someone who has made Siem Reap his home, to show you the best dining delights of the city?
On our journeys around the globe, we've found that taking a short, guided food tour can be a great way to meet people, eat well and explore the city, and also glean tips for the rest of the time in that location. After a bit of research, we booked a morning tour with Siem Reap Food Tours (siemreapfoodtours.com). The reviews for the tours were excellent, and the respect previous visitors declared the owners was evident to all the vendors they visited.
Cambodian food is a cuisine varied enough to deliver at a fine-dining level, but this tour was all about the street food. It began, as all mornings in Cambodia should, at a stall serving a breakfast favorite: bai sach chrouk, a perfect combination of thinly sliced pork marinated in a mixture of pungent fish sauce, coconut milk and palm sugar before being grilled over charcoal, and served with steamed rice and pickled vegetables. It was the perfect way to start the day, with the sugary char of the grilled meat working perfectly against the tang of the pickles to open up our palate for the rest of the tour.
Our guide took us to a small but bustling market called Psar Leu near the outskirts of the city. While we munched on nom ka chai — soft rice flour cakes stuffed with garlic chives — and drank iced tea, we strolled around the market and watched people collecting their supplies for the day: baskets of fresh herbs, glisteningly fresh fruits and vegetables, salted dried fish, aromatic rice, eels and fish flopping in tanks ready to be dispatched to order, and sides of pork ready to be butchered. A wise person once said that you can find anything you need to know about a country from its markets. And, from our short time at Psar Leu, it's clear that the Cambodians take their food very seriously, indeed.
The next stop really was all about the fact that Cambodians love grilling their food. Our tuk tuk — a three-wheeled motorcycle designed to carry passengers — drove through the villages located on the outskirts of the Angkor temple complex and pulled up at a small table on the side of the road. The surface of the table had been laid with banana leaves (pictured above), and on it were three styles of street food: fresh pickles of young papaya; prahok krisang, a slab of salted and fermented minced fish flavored with sour seeds; and one of the best bites from all of our stay in Cambodia, kang kae baok, a dish of meaty frogs about the size of a small Cornish game hen that have been cleaned and then stuffed with a mixture of minced pork, lemongrass, galangal, peanuts and turmeric. Cambodians spear the frogs on skewers and grill them over an open fire until the outside takes on a juicy golden char.
While the thought of stuffed frogs might make some people turn away, it's definitely worth persevering. The meat of the frogs tastes almost inevitably like chicken. However, once you break through the outer casing of meat, the stuffing lets out an aroma that is unlike anything I've ever tried before and long to try again.
The tour finished with two more equally enjoyable stops. The first was at a small farm where the family fermented and distilled rice to make wine. The elderly lady who had been making it most of her life assured us it was mainly used for medicinal purposes. I rather enjoyed the shot-glass serving she offered me. Although, I must note that travelers should be aware: The Cambodian government recently issued a warning against drinking rice wine when a number of people died after drinking adulterated versions.
Finally, on our way back into Siem Reap, we stopped at one more restaurant to sample a rice noodle dish that Cambodians have been making the same way for centuries: nom ban chok. The rice noodles are added to a broth seasoned with fermented fish, turmeric and galangal, and then laced with banana flowers and herbs. It results in a soup that could easily give global noodle souper-stars (See what I did there?) ramen and pho a run for their money.
It was a perfect way to finish off a terrific tour involving the many uses of rice and the Cambodians' love for grilling. It was also enough to convince me that, even in a town as dedicated to tourist delights such as Siem Reap, there is still great food to be found.

Match Report
Mid Ulster intermediate A
Dollingstown 2
Fivemiletown 0
2 second half goals by Dollingstown saw the home side crowned Champions on a bitterly disappointing day for Fivemiletown.
Fivemiletown, at kick off went into the game knowing that a win would keep their own title challenge alive. And it was the Valley men who started the brighter. Playing a 3-5-2 formation, a back 3 of Anderson, McNulty and Trotter looked solid in front of the man of the match Adam McDonald. Chris McDowell and Ivan Carson on the wings got plenty of the ball early as the away side got off to a solid start. A left wing cross by McDowell was met by Gillespie on 13 minutes. His improvised flick from 18 yards produced a magnificent save from Croft in goal. Nathan Sherry stung the hands of the home keeper a few minutes later before the home side started to edge their way into the game. McCordick, the Dollybirds talisman, was a constant threat for the Champions elect, with some clever balls in behind the back 3 which both of his wingers were unable to take advantage of.
0-0 at half time and it was the away team who felt unlucky not to be in front. However, 4 minutes into the second half, and with a strong wind at their back, the home team took the lead. A long ball over the top eluded the Fivemiletown rear-guard and a cross come shot found its way into the bottom corner. Fivemiletown responded with an excellent attack down the right, with Williamson and Carson linking up well. The latter delivered a fierce cross which was met by a fizzing volley by McDowell whose strike just missed the far post.
65 minutes saw the experienced Baron replace Trotter as the away side pushed. A clinical finish by McCordick on 76 minutes killed the game, however, when the striker dinked his finish over the advancing McDonald having been given far too much room in the box.
Fivemiletown continued to attack, and Lee McNulty saw a towering header cleared off the line as the home team sat back and defended their lead. The last action of the game was Ivan Carson receiving his marching orders for a silly reaction to an innocuous challenge.
Fivemiletown United players gracefully applauded as the home side lifted the trophy at the end of the game, and were appreciative of the kind remarks regarding their own excellent season.
"We missed key men today. Suspensions and unavailability didn't help us on the day. We were the better side, but, as has been the case, individual errors were made, and were punished" said manager Robinson.
The Valley men have 3 games remaining and are still fighting for 2nd place in the table, and play Moneyslane next Saturday. All support welcome. Details on the fixture can be found on the website, Facebook and in the local press.

to Kairos
Welcome to Kairos
… home to recovery
Hostel accommodation, treatment services and supported housing for people with drug and alcohol problems
… home to recovery
Hostel accommodation, treatment services and supported housing for people with drug and alcohol problems
All Kairos services are open
All Kairos services are open and are operating within government Covid-19 requirements and guidelines.
The Aftercare Programme has re-opened on site with new distancing measures. The Garden Day Programme has re-started and is operating online only, with a new timetable. The programme includes group therapy, Step workshops, meditation and individual counselling. All participants need to be referred and assessed before joining.
Kairos+ counselling for residents of our supported Move-on houses is also running online/ by phone for the time being.
Kairos will continue to take referrals and we will assess appropriately. See our News page for regular updates.
"The health of our residents, clients and staff across all our services is our absolute priority," says director Mossie Lyons.
At Kairos Community Trust, we are dedicated to helping homeless men and women with drug and alcohol problems. We do this through our abstinence-support hostel, our rehab programmes and our network of 29 supported Move-on houses, most of which are in south London.
Our core services provide: sober hostel accommodation, day programme rehab, residential rehab, supported housing and aftercare. Each service can be accessed separately or they can be combined to build individual pathways to recovery over a period of time. All our services are delivered by experienced teams of qualified therapists, support workers and administrators.
Addiction and homelessness are twin problems, and we believe that the journey to recovery from drugs and alcohol begins in a safe, secure environment.
How to apply – and plan your individual pathway to recovery: Overview
The Kairos pathways will lead you, post-detox, to rehab, then supported housing and on towards independent living.
Kairos Community Trust has 29 post-rehab, sober-living move-on houses with 182 beds in six London boroughs: Brent, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Southwark and Wandsworth. Residents have ongoing access to support workers and help in making planned moves to independent living.
'I arrived at Linden Grove after 15 years of skips, squatting and park benches. At first nothing was right but after a month my attitude completely changed. I was interested and I was learning. I wanted to get better and was willing to work for it. And the staff never gave up on me, no matter what!'
'At Kairos, I stayed off drink and drugs for more than a few weeks for the first time and I became open, honest and willing for the first time in my life. I haven't looked back since. Life in recovery isn't always easy but it's better than any bad day I had in addiction.'
'Do you know where I've been? The journey back has been long and humbling. Now, in my shared Kairos house, I've come to understand and appreciate the value of the 'little' things in life: health, shelter, security, food, my own room, and few good friends. I am a prince but I have no need of a castle.'
And why are we called Kairos? Kairos is one of the Greek words for time and we understand it as the right time for change.

I'm not sure about you, but I'm done criticizing.
I'm through judging other people's work, critiquing every flaw. I'm finished sitting on the sidelines, pretending I can play. I'm done watching others produce, while I only consume. I'm over feeling important and powerful and authoritative – self-righteous - at the expense of others. I'm past pushing others down on my way up.
I'm bored with it all.
I'm not saying there isn't a place for critics. I'm only saying I'm leaving that group. And I'm heading out on my own to create something new.

Year : 1998 (Japan SHM-CD Remastered Edition 2013)

Kiss was formed in New York in '72 by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley (Stanley Eisen) and Gene Simmons (Gene Klein). The line-up was rounded out by drummer Peter Criss (Crisscoula), located through a Rolling Stone ad, and lead guitarist Ace Frehley (Paul Frehley), who answered an ad in the Village Voice. The band's cartoon image, kabuki makeup and 4th-of-July stageshow concept was in place from the start, and they began promoting their own hall shows in NYC. TV director Bill Aucoin saw them, became their manager, and secured a deal for them with Neil Bogart's Casablanca Records within two weeks. Three LPs were released in a year's time, but the live fourth LP, Alive! (1975) contained their first huge hit, "Rock And Roll All Nite." Until the early '80, Kiss was unstoppable, with two huge-selling Marvel Comics, a network TV movie and four simultaneously-released solo albums under their studded belts. In '80, Criss left for a solo career and since then, the drum and lead positions have been ever-changing. In '83, the band stripped away the makeup and celebrated renewed interest."You wanted the best, you got it! The hottest band in the land: KISS!" So went the rally cry at the beginning of a Kiss concert, an event of exploding pyrotechnics, vomited blood and louder-than-God hard rock. Their fan club--The Kiss Army--swelled to six-figures strong during the band's '70s heyday, and between 1974 and today they've sold in excess of 70 million albums.In '96, the original band reformed (made up?), and took their full costume-makeup-pyro 1976 show on the road--for a year-long stint--resulting in one of the most successful rock tours ever. Conjecture that the band wanted to quit on a high note has remained unproven; anything could happen in Kiss' future.
Psycho Circus is the eighteenth studio album by American rock band Kiss.The album features the original four members back together and in full make-up. Some pressings featured a lenticular cover that alternates between a black Kiss logo and the album title with pictures of a clown and the band members, while the Japan initial first pressing featured a pop-up cover which had three foam spring-loaded panels of a clown face and two others with band members faces that popped out when the doors were opened. "You Wanted the Best" is the only Kiss song in which lead vocals are shared by the entire lineup.Following the highly successful 1996–97 reunion tour, Psycho Circus was marketed as the first new studio album by the band's original lineup since 1979's Dynasty (as Peter Criss did not participate on 1980s Unmasked, although Criss' drum work is limited to only one of the nine songs on Dynasty). As with Dynasty and Unmasked, however, many of the songs were recorded by uncredited players. Ace Frehley and Criss were used sparingly, with Criss playing drums only on "Into the Void". Frehley played on two songs from the album (not including vocals). In 2011, in Frehley's book No Regrets, he says that he wrote a lot of songs for the album, one of those songs being titled "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Rock 'n' Roll". He mentions that the title and song were deemed very similar to the song "I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock 'n' Roll". Frehley would record the song under the title "Pursuit of Rock and Roll" for his 2018 solo album Spaceman. "Into the Void" was originally titled "Shakin' Sharp Shooter", but Simmons and Stanley were unhappy with the lyrics and title, so Frehley went up to a separate room and rewrote it. The song "Within" was originally written and demoed for Kiss's previous album Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions and contains the original backwards guitar intro from the demo by previous Kiss member Bruce Kulick. Psycho Circus debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200, selling 110,000 copies in its first week of release, and was certified gold by the RIAA on October 22, 1998.Rolling Stone said, "Psycho Circus is an album of platform-stomping rhythms, roller-coaster guitar riffs and sing-along choruses – is far more respectable than any of the awkward flops from the no-makeup years."Entertainment Weekly (9/25/98, p. 106) said, "This is rock with a capital R, captured in all its cheesy glory... This new effort proves that in the circus of hard-rock dinosaurs, Kiss remains its Barnum & Bailey." "Well up to the band's usual standards of corny hoopla," wrote Clark Collis in The Daily Telegraph. "Typical of the beast is 'I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll' – three and a half minutes of hilariously bombastic pomp-rock that simply crushes thoughts of all post-glam musical developments beneath a silver-painted stack-heel boot."The song "Dreamin'" bears a resemblance to Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" (1970): a month after the release of Psycho Circus Cooper's publisher filed a plagiarism suit, settled out of court in Cooper's favor.

Pharmacy technicians help pharmacists with their responsibilities. When you're a pharmacy tech, you'll be expected to take on a variety of important duties. Not only are you part of the customer-facing retail team, but you are also the pharmacist's right-hand person.
What Does a Pharmacy Technician Do?
As a pharmacy tech, you will work directly under the supervision of the pharmacist doing the day-to-day operations. Here's some of the pharmacy tech's common daily tasks:
- Get the necessary information from the customer to allow the pharmacist to fill the prescription.
- Pack and label the prescriptions.
- Help organize the medicinal inventory, and let the pharmacist know when things are running low.
- Run the phones, taking customer/patient calls.
- Alert the pharmacist to when customers have questions about the medication, because you won't be permitted to answer them.
- Review the prescription before handing it off the customer.
- Operate the automated dispensing machines (in certain instances).
- Go to a patient's bedside delivering medication if you work in a hospital pharmacy; you may prepare IV meds, as well.
Where will you work as a pharmacy technician? There are quite a few different environments you may find yourself working, from a grocery store to a hospital, and anywhere else you find a pharmacy.
How to Become a Pharmacy Technician
Pharmacy technician programs range in length, from a 6-9 month certificate program through an associate degree. Some pharmacy technicians can find on-the-job training, while many go through a technical school or community college. Common steps:
- Get your high school diploma or GED.
- Complete your post-secondary education or formal on-the-job training. Any program should be accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP).
- You'll have a clinical portion, like on-the-job training, that you'll need to complete.
Some states mandate certification for their pharmacy technicians. Check with your state and if you need to, get certified. Keep in mind that most employers prefer pharmacy technicians to have a certification, whether it's required by the state or not.
Certifications are given through either the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) or the National Healthcare Association (NHA). Both boards require pharmacy techs to have a high school diploma. You may need to have your background checked.
To get certified through the PTCB, you'll have to pass an exam. Certification through the NHA requires one year of work experience, or completion of a training program. You can specialize as a general pharmacy tech, community pharmacy tech, or central pharmacy operations technician. To maintain your certification, you'll take a re-certification exam every two years after completing 20 hours of continuing education.
Soft skills that are helpful if you work as a pharmacy tech are excellent customer service, listening, and math skills. After all, you're kind of working in the retail world, dealing with customers and money! You'll also need to be detail-oriented: One wrong prescription could have disastrous ramifications.
Job Outlook and Salary of a Pharmacy Technician
As a pharmacy technician, you will earn a median annual salary of more than $30K. Entry level, you'll make $21K. Once you've gained a few years of work experience, your salary can raise to more than $45K. These numbers are an approximation and taken from BLS data. Depending on where you live, work, and your experience level, your salary could be very different.
The job outlook for pharmacy techs is looking pretty good. It's expected to grow at a pace above average: 12 percent. This is because more and more people are using prescription meds for many different reasons. Aging is a major factor in the increase in pharmaceutical consumption, as are chronic disease and mental illness.
As pharmacists become more patient oriented, giving immunizations such as flu shots, you'll start picking up more responsibilities. Caution: Starting a career as a pharmacy technician can be a gateway drug to sucking it up and going back to school to become a pharmacist.

Welcome, readers, to the year 2020, and a new series of Being a Better Writer! We're back at last, ready to tackle all new topics of writing every Monday. So kick back and get ready to talk writing!
If you're new, well you've probably figured it out by now, but Being a Better Writer is a weekly series here on Unusual Things, several years running now, that's all about writing in its various aspects. We've discussed everything from romance subplots to character motivations to common writing cliches.
So, what topic have I chosen to kick off the new year? One I'd imagine many people haven't thought a lot on. I myself, actually, hadn't consciously given it much thought until an incident about a month ago got me pondering on it. See, a little over a month ago now, as the holiday season was really winding up, I got talking with someone that had just finished one of my books, and they'd offered their thoughts and opinions. One thing that they pointed out was that the exposition offered by the characters felt, for lack of a better word, thicker than other books. It would cover plot, yes, and needed elements, but would do so in a way that was longer than other books by other authors.
But at the same time, while this threw them off, it wasn't bad, and they couldn't say why. For that matter, neither could I, and I puzzled over it for almost a week. Because they weren't the first reader to note this. More than once it's been pointed out to me that many readers feel my characters' moments of dialogue and exposition are larger than other comparable books … but don't feel drawn out. In other words, they make take twice as many words to say what another book would do in half the amount … but it doesn't feel like it unless one sits back and looks at the whole.
This puzzled me, as it wasn't the first time an observation in this vein has been made about my work. I say puzzling because for the majority of readers it wasn't bad. No one felt that there were "extra" or even unnecessary words or phrases in there, despite the overall length being larger by comparison. Put before a critical editor, they'd hem and haw … but in the end conclude that they didn't want to cut anything.
See? Puzzling. And so I spent a good week during the holidays pondering on this odd occurrence. What was I doing differently with my writing that made my dialogue and exposition longer … but not filler?
Then, I watched a Youtube video from content creator Tom Scott, and it clicked. I knew what it was that I was doing differently, and why people would note that the exposition was "thicker" but wouldn't want to cut anything.
It had to do with my characters. Or rather, how I developed and made them come alive to the audience through use of paralinguistics.

Josh Boone revealed to be at work on an Interview with the Vampire remake
Back in August of 2014, Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment acquired the rights to Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles" book series, with TheWrap reporting that Josh Boone (Stuck in Love, The Fault in Our Stars) was attached to write and direct a film combining the second and third books in Rice's series, "The Vampire Lestat" and "The Queen of the Damned." Now Boone has revealed on Instagram that he has, in fact, penned a screenplay for an Interview with the Vampire remake alongside Jill Killington, with whom he wrote Katie Holmes' recent directorial debut All We Had.
The first installment in the novels, Interview with the Vampire, was made into a film in 1994 that stars Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. A second film followed, Queen of the Damned, in 2002 with Aaliyah playing the eponymous bloodsucker and Stuart Townsend playing the vampire Lestat. There's no specific word yet on Universal's plans for the series, although a remake of Interview with the Vampire is the most obvious route for the studio to take. The most recent literary chapter in "The Vampire Chronicles," titled "Prince Lestat," hit bookstores in October of 2014, with another titled "Blood Paradise" forthcoming.
As reported two years ago, Brian Grazer will produce alongside Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, although the latter pair's involvement with the Universal Monster Connected Universe of films may lead some to wonder if the Rice adaptations will be its own autonomous series or somehow connected to The Mummy, Invisible Man, etc. With Cruise starring in The Mummy, the idea of crossing Lestat over seems a little preposterous. Back in 2009, Robert Downey Jr. was rumored to be in contention for Lestat, though Rice fans should keep an eye out for who Universal actually casts.
Boone is also hard at work on a New Mutants movie for 20th Century Fox, as well as several Stephen King adaptations.

During his long, prolific career as a theological writer, Justo L. Gonzalez gathered many thoughts and manuscripts that never quite fit into any of his many publishings. Retazos Teologicos (Theological Remnants) is a compilation of some of these remnants, published as they were originally written with the hope that readers will find them useful in their lives and ministry. Readers will follow Dr. Gonzalez through various episodes of his life, seeing theological perspectives in everyday situations through his eyes.' '
Justo L. González is the author of dozens of books on church history and Christian theology. His The Story of Christianity is a standard textbook in the Americas and around the world.

As you might have noticed I've been away from this space for a while. We were staying over by this guy: the beloved spiky dinosaursous!
While we had electricity and running water there was no internet; it was nice. The boys spent a lot of time looking at books, running around and building block cities:
We also had a great vantage point to watch the small airplanes take off, land, and tow up gliders. And, if you were up early enough, to see the process of filling up a hot air balloon and watching it take off. I'd say the boys had a lot of fun.
It was an odd in-between time but….Now we are HERE! And we're just getting started….

Heading to Bali with your little one(s) soon? We'll be helping you to get ready for your days in the tropics! In our previous post 'Bali with Baby' you can read our tips for traveling to Bali with a baby. We'll be answering 10 most asked questions; where to stay with kids, tips for during the flight, how to keep your baby from getting sick in Bali, how to deal with dengue and more burning questions we received on Instagram after our first visit on the island with baby Manua.
I made this Bali Baby packing list for our first visit on the island last June when Manua was 5 months old.
Note: as I wrote earlier in our previous post with tips for traveling to Bali with a baby, the BEST thing about your holiday in Bali is: you can rent everything for your baby! From drivers to car seats, baby beds to baby baths, baby monitors or even a nanny. Pool fences can be delivered and installed at your Bali villa. And you can also hire a professional photographer to capture your first family holiday memories, how fun! Check our Bali Baby hire or Bali Baby.
Let me know in the comments if you're missing something on our list or if you have any questions for us!
Bali Baby packing list
We had a 17-hour flight with KLM, so we were allowed to bring for Manua:
1 x carry-on bag for baby (max. 12 kg, 55 x 35 x 25 cm)
1 x check-in luggage for baby (max. 10 kg, we stuffed it with diapers and wipes)
1 x Foldable Stroller (we brought this one all the way to the gate)
1 x Carseat (we sealed it and checked this one in with our luggage)
Don't forget to book the baby bassinet with your seats if your airline is providing these! More inflight tips here.
On the airport
For on the airport (and in Bali) we brought the Bugaboo Bee and this Ergobaby baby carrier. I guess you can also choose to just bring one of those. Manua was too little for a stroller (he can't sit up by himself yet) so we decided to bring the Bugaboo Bee. Easy to fold in and out, so we could bring this one all the way up to the gate. Bugaboo now as a new stroller especially for travel -The Bugaboo Ant- but it wasn't out yet but we'll definitely bring that one next time! We also brought our car seat that fits on the Bugaboo chassis (base), but we sealed it and checked that one in. I loved that we could throw our bags underneath the Bugaboo and had our hands free while walking around the airport. When he couldn't sleep I took him with me in the baby carrier as he falls asleep way easier that way. Walked with him into the plane with the baby carrier and waited to take him on my lap just minutes before we needed to buckle up for departure.
Read this post for tips about drinking during take-off and landing against pain in ears.
For the carry-on bag at the airport and in the plane
– Baby Passport
– Insurance pass
– Vaccination papers
– Blanket (airport and plane can be super cold)
– Diaper bag with changing mat, enough diapers, 2 sets of spare clothing/outfits (bring a warm vest or hoody), diaper creme, diaper bags, wipes (lots of them!)
– 2 big and 2 small muslin cloths/blankets
– 2 pacifiers
– your feeding gear (I brought my breast pump, formula sachets just in case and 2 bottles)
– Re-sealable bags (for wet clothes and stuff)
– Favorite toys
Baby travel gear
– Baby Carrier. We have the Ergobaby Omni 360 Mesh, and love it!
– Foldable Stroller + Stroller Musquitonet We brought the Bugaboo Bee. But as mentioned above you can also check the new Bugaboo Ant.
– Maxi Cosi car seat + car seat mosquito net and a Dooky sun shade.
You can also rent a car seat in Bali, but we wanted to make sure to have it when we arrived and got picked up by the driver – and with your own seat you'll just know it's good!
15 Bodies (long sleeves, short sleeves and sleeveless! Our faves are from Hema and Uniqlo)
5 T-shirts
4 Long pants
4 Shorts (skirts/dresses for the girlies)
2 Vests (1 hoody vest for on the plane)
5 pair of socks
1 pair of shoes if your baby is wearing them (I didn't have shoes for Manua jet)
2 swimming outfits
1 UV-outfit
2 Sun hats
6 bibs (if your baby is teething or eating)
2 Summer Sleeping bags (we have the ones from Lodger)
– Baby bed sheets (Manua slept with us in the big bed so we didn't need it after all)
4 Pacifiers (If your baby is using them, bring lots extra)
– Pacifier cord/clip
– Baby Monitor (or buy the app 'Baby Monitor' on your phone)
– Baby bed mosquito net
Baby Care
– Diaper bag
– Changing mat
– Sunscreen for baby SPF50 (we used NAIF)
– Baby wash & shampoo
– Baby oil/body cream
4 XL big Muslin blankets (to lay on in restaurants, airports, etc.)
6 Normal size Muslin blankets
4 Washcloths
1 Baby towel
– Swim nappies
– Diapers (how much depends on your length of stay!) you can also buy them in Bali but they'll be more expensive. So we brought as many as we could fit.
– Diaper bags
– Diaper creme
– Baby wipes (we always use Neutral wipes) You can buy wipes in Bali but are mostly highly perfumed and not natural.
– Handwash soap
– Re-sealable bags (for wet clothes and stuff)
– Baby hairbrush
– Baby nail scissors or file
– First aid kit: we brought baby ORS, paracetamol, nose spray capsules, Otrivin baby aspirator (nose cleaner), Alcohol, cotton pads, thermometer, tweezers
– Inflatable baby bathtub (optional, or just shower your baby with a pan of filtered water :) or hire through Bali
So this one totally depends on your baby's age and needs. Here's what I brought for Manua:
– Medela breast pump (I brought the Freestyle because I was also working, but if you only bring it just in case you can bring the Harmony hand pump)
– Medela milk storage bottles
– Formula (I only brought a few ready-made sachets of Nutrilon formula milk)
2 cooling elements
cooling bag
4 bottles
– sterilizer (I didn't bring one, just cooked out the bottles in a pan with filtered water)
– washing-up brush
– small thermos bottle
– Your baby's vitamins
– Baby spoon (we use it for the vitamins)
– If your baby's eating solid foods: lightweight feeding set with utensils and baby food
– I also brought my Lemej breastfeeding shawl. But in Bali you can just feed anywhere I think, especially on the beach. Easy! Or use a sarong.
– Favorite toys and stuffed animals
– Books
– Playmat (optional, or just use a big muslin cloth)
Other tips
– start to pack a week before departure. So if you miss something you can order it online or go to the store without stressing.
– Doing laundry in Bali is easy and cheap – so I wouldn't pack too much! If you bring your laundry away in Bali, you can ask for express service. Your laundry will be ready on the same day. We also asked not to use the perfume and don't iron the baby's clothing – just because we're not a fan of the chemicals in it.
– Bring your camera, you'll want to take lots of photos!
– Most parents feel comfortable knowing the best/nearest hospitals in Bali. We can recommend BIMC and SILOAM, but also check for local clinics to the area's where you'll be traveling to in Bali.
Have an amazing holiday to Bali!
Fijne vakantie!

Haggis Cup 2017 Ready To Rock
Saturday, April 08 2017 @ 07:47 am ACST
Contributed by: Wesley Hull
Views: 1,415
Teams from across England and Scotland have assembled ready for this year's Haggis Cup, this year being played at the West Of Scotland Rugby Club in Glasgow. Fifteen teams across men's and women's competitions have arrived ready for what promises to be a huge, exciting tournament.
The women's competition will see host city, Glasgow, represented by both local clubs – the Glasgow Sharks and the Greater Glasgow Giants – as well as two teams from the Wandsworth Demons and a single team from the Wimbledon Hawks representing AFL London. The Nottingham Scorpions women's team will be there flying the flag for the AFLCNE. The Wimbledon Hawks are on a high, having just been crowned women's champions at last weekend's AFL Europe Champions League tournament in Amsterdam.
In the men's draw, all Scottish teams – the Glasgow Sharks (two teams), Greater Glasgow Giants, Edinburgh Bloods and Kingdom Kangaroos – will be there along with AFL London club the Wandsworth Demons (two teams) and AFLCNE clubs, the Tyne Tees Tigers, Wolverhampton Wolverines and Huddersfield Rams.
The Haggis Cup has become a very important fixture on the European landscape, not only bringing a rivalry at club and national levels, but also as a major pre-season tournament as clubs prepare for the opening of their respective new seasons. Whilst 2017 sees teams from England and Scotland only, last year also saw teams from the Netherlands (Amstersdam Devils) and Ireland (Leeside Lions) competing
The format will see a draw of group matches to determine placing and semi-finalists. The women's final will be held at 4.00pm, followed by the Men's final at 4.30pm. All matches are two ten minute halves.
Last year it was the Wimbledon Hawks taking the title, downing the Greater Glasgow Giants in the final. In the women's final, the Saltires defeated the Wolves.
AFL Scotland will be posting updates from all matches on their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/AFLScotland/

Why Change is Hard and Exhausting
It is interesting to know that exerting willpower over and over can have a depleting effect that drains the mind under situations of repeated self-control. If there is a task that you know will be hard, Do It First. There are tasks and responsibilities that are most challenging, and potentially draining in a day. If you perform a number of easy, or less demanding, tasks throughout the day, and save a more demanding task at the end of the day, chances are you will feel exhausted. Your stores of self-control can be depleted.
A Little Bit at a Time
When a there is a desired change that you are trying to make, try doing a little at a time. Health changes are a good example. Making a big leap in your diet by changing the number of calories you eat in a day, not snacking on your favorite sweet, or making better decisions in the shopping market, are big changes that if attempted all at once can lead to exhausted efforts toward change, or failure. This is the reason that most diets do not work. Try making a small change, or establish one habit at a time. How about making a short checklist of healthy and nutritious foods that you will eat during the day. Write this checklist on a piece of paper, or add it to your smartphone. Refer to this checklist at the beginning of the day. The checklist will make your decisions less exhausting. Start making a list of these healthy food choices so that it is a handy reference when you go shopping. Making a checklist is a great way to establish habits, and make change less exhausting.
"He who controls others may be powerful,
but he who has mastered himself is mightier still."
― Lao Tzu
5 Tips to Manage Your Self-Control
- Set one specific goal: I will choose to make a checklist of healthy foods that I will eat during the day.
- I will track my progress: I will check-off the healthy food during the day to that I will visualize the positive choices I am making.
- Make small changes: I know that changing habits is hard, and I need to go slowly.
- Start with small pieces: I will take the big picture and make it into small, manageable change, with the mantra, " A little at a time".
- Make a Big Picture: I will have a picture of what I am pursuing. The choices I make will be in alignment with this Big Picture – Healthy and Happy.
See on Scoop.it – Mind-Body-Shift
You hear something a lot about change: People won't change because they're too lazy. Well, I'm here to stick up for the lazy people. In fact, I want to argue that what looks like laziness is actually exhaustion. The proof comes from a psychology study that is absolutely fascinating.

TIP No.3 "MAKE A GAME OF IT, WITH ADDED INCREMENTS
(#Exercise, "Staying At IT" ..continued. Be sure you read previous posts on this subject)
In an effort to set yourself up for success, not failure, establish long term (two months or more), medium term (one month), and short term (weekly) goals.
Let's say you went to the gym and fell in love with the elliptical trainer. This machine is low impact, it's aerobic, and it will even add some muscle strength to your body – overall, not a bad machine. You've worked on it two, three or four times and you want to continue but even now you realize it's starting to get boring, especially in the long term. You clearly see the benefits but can't envision doing this exercise day in and day out for weeks, yet alone months. So here's what you need to do – make a game of it. If you're currently on the machine for 25 minutes a day set your short term goal to 30 minutes, or 29 minutes, or 28 minutes (- it really doesn't matter) but set a "realistic" a short term goal with progressive added increments in time and intensity.For example, tell yourself, "At the end of the week I want to train on the elliptical for 28 minutes a day. That is my short term goal". Sure you could probably do a lot more but why burn yourself out? You have time. It probably took you many months, or even years to be as out of shape as you are – why do you need to get back in shape in a very short time – remember fitness is a life style.
Over-exercising is a sure fire way to give yourself a reason to quit your program because soon you will be saying, "I'm tired all the time, I just can't do it anymore." But if our stated short tem goal is reasonable, it won't wear you out. In fact, you just need to add increments of 60 or 120 seconds or so a day to each workout.
Now that you've decided on your short term goal, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it in plain sight – this will serve to motivate you each day, because you have "made a game of it" and not a chore.
The next step is making a medium term goal and achieving it. When you have accomplished your short term goal and your medium term goal, continue adding increments and continue making a game of it, and set your long term goal – and keep staying at it.
Pretty soon your long term goal will have become your short term goal and will continue adding increments to develop new medium term goals and new long tem goals. Eventually this will become a life-long lifestyle!

Save the Cat by Blake Snyder, a #1 bestseller for 15 years, is a worldwide must-read for screenwriters, but I recommend it for all types of storytellers. The more exposure writers have to the best storytelling teachers, the better writers we become.
The producer of several hits including The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Hope Springs, The Pursuit of Happyness, Antwone Fisher, and the Weather Man, Blake Snyder considers Save the Cat: "One of the most comprehensive and insightful how-to's out there. Save the Cat! is a must-read for both the novice and the professional screenwriter."
"Want to know how to be a successful writer in Hollywood? The answers are here. Blake Snyder has written an insider's book that's informative ― and funny, too." – David Hoberman, Producer, Muppets Most Wanted (2014), The Muppets, The Shaggy Dog , Raising Helen, Walking Tall, Monk (TV)
Save the Cat is a "fast, funny and candid" peek into the movie business. The book shows enough storytelling secrets to benefit screenwriters, novelists, those who write short story fiction, and nonfiction writers.
"You'd have to look far and wide to find a better book to help you achieve your goals," said Screentalk Magazine. "Quite simply one of the most practical guides to writing mainstream spec scripts on the market"
Save the Cat by Blake Snyder earns a spot among the 12 writing books every author should master.
Do yourself a favor and add this book to your writer's toolbox!

Let's get the party started
Avid readers will no doubt know that NVIDIA, in its infinite wisdom, decided to differentiate its nForce2 logic into single and dual-channel chipsets; both of which are now ratified to run 200FSB XP CPUs. The dominating factor in this segregation has to be cost. It's abundantly clear that that producing a dual-channel-capable memory controller is inherently more expensive than the single-channel approach. We've demonstrated that the present dual-channel Ultra 400 usually ekes out no more than a 5% performance advantage over running the same chipset in single-channel mode. It's with this information that NVIDIA, most likely, has decided to produce a cheaper, slightly lower performance variant.
The Ultra 400, though, still remains the jewel in NVIDIA's chipset crown. We've seen a number of classy Ultra 400s pass through the labs here and have generally been impressed with each and every one. That's mainly due to the maturity and performance of the chipset and the expertise and execution skill of well-respected manufacturers such as ASUS, EPoX and Leadtek.
DFI (Diamond Flower International) impressed us with its feature-filled Canterwood board that sits in the new LANParty range. We were also impressed by DFI's KT400A LANParty model, one that featured highly in our recent multi-board roundup. It's of no real surprise, then, that DFI has an nForce2 Ultra 400 board with the requisite LANParty packaging and presentation. If recently history is a good predictor of present performance, the DFI LANParty NFII ULTRA should be a welcome addition to family. It's time to wrestle with the huge box and get to the bottom of what makes this package tick.

Back in September when options implied volatilities were falling, we talked about buying low and selling high.
The basic premise was that in a low volatility environment, strategies that involved selling options – especially covered calls – involved more risk and produced less potential income than average.
I also encouraged investors who wanted to protect their long equity position to consider buying out-of-the-money puts during a period of low volatility as those insurance contracts are relatively inexpensive.
That's a sensible strategy for playing defense and follows the age-old trading logic, "buy when you can, not when you have to."
But, what if you want to play offense?
In the past two months, option implied volatilities have remained at very low levels and the CBOE Volatility Index fell very close to 12% at the end of last week. Currently it's trading around 13%.
As stocks continue to hit all-time highs, the number of short bets on CBOE VIX futures and options is also at new highs. When there's a lot of money piled up in a particular trade, it can be a great opportunity to be a contrarian.
Notably, even as impeachment inquiry gets underway in the House of Representatives, the markets don't appear to be pricing in much chance of any earth-shattering developments. Everyone seems to assume that the House will adopt articles of impeachment, the Senate will fail to convict the President and the whole thing will disappear from public view.
The VIX is a measure of the average implied volatilities in a basket of near term options on the S&P 500, but because of arbitrage opportunities in simultaneously buying index options and selling options in the individual stocks (or vice versa), when the VIX is low, the vols of individual big-cap stocks tend to fall as well.
The first options trades most traders make is simply buying a call or a put to reflect their respective bullish or bearish opinion on a given stock. Most of the time, I would suggest that as their trading ideas get a little bit more sophisticated, they should consider trading a spread instead in which they both buy and sell options. That way the strategy makes or loses money based mostly on directional movement in the underlying rather than changes in implied volatilities or the passage of time.
When implied vols are low however, simply purchasing options without an offsetting sale can be a wise choice. If you have a strong idea about the likely direction of an individual stock, now is a good time to simply purchase calls or puts that will appreciate if your intuition is correct and the shares move.
Options on electric automaker Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) are a good example. Since issuing a surprisingly positive earnings report in October, Tesla shares are up 36%.
Implied volatility in Tesla options that expire in December are around 38%. That's a lot higher than vols in index options, but it would seem to be on the low side for a stock that sometimes moves that much over the span of just a few days or weeks.
There are a wide range of opinions about the prospects for Tesla's fortunes going forward. The bulls feel that the company is poised to take advantage of huge first-mover positioning in the electric auto market, potentially becoming the world's largest automaker.
The bears - who are licking some considerable wounds lately after losing over a billion dollars in short trades – feel that the current valuation overestimates Tesla's chances for global success and undervalues the chances of more experienced and deep-pocketed competition, especially from General Motors (GM - Free Report) , Ford (F - Free Report) and Germany's Volkswagen AG.
Analyst price targets for Tesla vary widely, from under $200/share to $500/share and higher.
Whichever side of the argument you agree with, now would seem to be a good time to take a position in long options. If the shares take another leg higher or retreat to previous levels and you're correct about the direction, you'll be rewarded handsomely, both because of the move itself (delta) and also if implied volatilities rise (vega.)
Professional traders design their positions based on the current level of implied volatilities and so should you.

Verdict: Rajkummar gives a terrific performance, yet again.
Rakhi brother – a relationship devised for brotherless girls and sisterless brothers. It is a very sweet thing because it lets people experience the bond that they could not experience naturally. It is probably stronger than what siblings share. This film, however, takes into consideration how this relationship has been exploited in a mohalla of Lucknow, as they have tagged every guy and girl from the society as brothers and sisters.
Shiv Nautiyal aka Gattu (Rajkummar Rao) has a childhood crush on his neighbor, Binni Arora (Shruti Hassan), who has no idea about it. His father, Mr. Nautiyal (Darshan Jariwala), believes that the neighborhood is family and all girls are either mothers or sisters. He often repeats the statement – "Mohalle ki ladkiya maa–behen hoti hai". Gattu somehow manages to ask Binni out and after a few attempts, they start dating. Everything was going fine until Mr. Nautiyal sees Binni and Bhura (Herri Tangri), Gattu's best friend, together and assumes they are having an affair. One misunderstanding leads to another and the whole neighborhood knows about this affair. Because of this, Binni's brother (Ninad Kamat) finds a perfect groom for her and gets her engaged with Rahul (Gautam Gulati). Now Binni has two perspective grooms – Rahul and Bhura whereas Gattu is considered her muh bola bhai. What follows is a hilarious and confusing tale.
Rajkummar Rao is a treat to watch in this one as well. He never ceases to entertain his audience and he is all that his character required him to be – funny, sad, drunk, worried and stupid. Shruti Hassan looks perfect as the small town high headed girl but average when it comes to acting. Ranjeet and Gulshan Grover have a short and sweet part as gangsters who are cuter than scary. Herri Tangri, who plays Gattu's best friend is a surprise package. His character has added the much-needed humor to the movie and he has pulled it off hilariously. Darshan Jariwala, Ninad Kamat and other characters gave what the script asked for. You cannot rate down the film basis the actors, it was the execution that probably scores average.
The storyline has the potential to turn into a super fun movie but the script did not do justice to it. The characters were good but weren't detailed enough, except Gattu's of course. The high headed Binni who is called the firecracker turns out to be the submissive one. Some stereotypes have been exaggerated and repeated unnecessarily. The film however, is a decent attempt and has its share of fun, comedy, and cliches.
The plot of Behen Hogi Teri is not new to Indian audience but it still has a huge scope in the romantic comedy market. However, the script doesn't live up to the expectations that were built by the trailer and Rajkummar. There are moments where you'll laugh out loud and scenes that will get you cracking but the film stretches a lot initially and winds up pretty fast. The first half keeps you interested but the subplots overlap each other in the second half and a few things are left incomplete or finished in a hurry. Behen Hogi Teri has its share of fun and laughter so you would not get bored.
There are a few numbers in the movie that you'll hum especially the Sherawaali version of Kaala Chashma called Jai Maa. The album has all kinds of songs – the romantic number by Arijit Singh, Tera Hoke Rahoon, the peppy remake of Jaanu and the sad number Tenu na bol Pawaan.
Why You Should Watch This Movie:
Watch because, well, Rajkummar Rao. He is too good. One-sided lovers who have lost their love because they tied you a rakhi can also watch the movie to feel good about themselves and find the courage. Watch the movie to have a fun time at the theatres this weekend.

text: The video is done in the style of a television channel. It starts with the service off air. Then The Good Captain's Fish logo appears with the message "Paid For By The Good Captains Fish". Then a list of all the shows appears - Mouse Tails at 6:00, The Good Captain's Kid Show at 6:10. The Good captain's kid show starts up, zooming in to the a clown version of The Good Captain's head - a red nose, rainbow wig etc. The Good Captain then gives his slogan - "Remember, kids, eat your fish!" a few times before his head shrinks into the distance and bounces from each corner of the screen in a similar way to the ball on Pong. Then it is announced that at 6:30 there will be the Good Captains News And Weather, and that concludes the children's programming. Then Lisa reads the Book of Snospis to the children, before the show goes off air.

No doubt the technological revolution that has swept the golf industry over the past several decades has produced numerous benefits for the average golfer. When I started playing golf in the late 1960s, my bag contained state-of-the art weapons like persimmon woods and forged blades. Then came metal "woods" (I object to the term "fairway metal" – they're still "woods" in my mind), oversized titanium drivers, cavity-back/perimeter weighted irons (an enormous aid to medium to high handicappers), hybrids (initially called "rescue clubs"), hybrid irons, and of course all sorts of crazy putters that look like they were engineered at NASA.
Not to mention changes in the golf ball. In my early days, the biggest hazard to my balls was not losing them (I didn't hit them far enough for that) but cutting the soft, balata cover with frequent bladed shots. The ugly curved gash, revealing the wound rubber core of the ball, was the tell-tale sign of a bad swing. I haven't inflicted such damage on a ball in well over 30 years, but it's not because my game has improved. The modern ball is simply uncuttable, except by mowers that occasionally bisect balls abandoned in the rough. The worst I can do is scuff them up on cart paths, which is worth it if the path adds another 50 yards to my tee shot.
The latest technology craze is the adjustable driver. The first phase of this phenomenon allowed you to rearrange weights to achieve a draw or fade. I bought a TaylorMade R-7 a number of years ago that supposedly was adjusted to produce a draw. I continued to fade the ball. It's possible that the club was improperly adjusted, but more likely I needed a swing adjustment.
Now you can make all sorts of adjustments to drivers: weighting, clubface alignment (maybe that would have cured my problem), and launch angle. Not sure whether a 9.5 degree or 10.5 degree is right for you? The TaylorMade R1 can be adjusted to any loft. Maybe one day we'll all carry only one club that can be adjusted to hit every shot in golf, and walk the course without a bag and just a few balls and tees in our pocket. But this would sharply curtail the profits of the equipment industry.
Technology – in the form of computerized monitors — can also tell us more than we might want to know about the physics of our golf swing. I bought a driver last summer after the technician at Golf Town watched me hit dozens of shots with different clubs and analyzed the data from the monitor. This job must require a lot of diplomacy. After evaluating my data (club head speed, spin, launch angle, distance, blood pressure at impact) a brutally honest technician might have said "have you thought about tennis or bowling?" But his job is to sell clubs, so he put a positive spin on things and convinced me that the Rocketballz driver was the ticket to the improvement of my game. It wasn't. But I'm sure the new R1 would take me to new heights.
Now you can monitor yourself. Some company is advertising a device that attaches to your shaft and gauges your swing speed. This sounds helpful on the surface, but as I pondered this I questioned whether I really want to know my swing speed. I know it's slow, and I'd really prefer not to know if my swing speed puts me in the bottom ten percentile of golfers my age who do not suffer from a severe physical disability.
The more I think about it, I have about as much desire to know my swing speed as my blood pressure, my cholesterol count, and my glucose level. In fact, my swing speed would be even more depressing than poor health indices, since that latter might be susceptible of improvement with a better diet and exercise. I'm fairly certain there is little I could do to improve my swing speed, at least if I still wanted to make contact with the ball. However, given that slow play is a huge problem in golf, I try to do other things on the course faster to compensate for my slow swing. I have an efficient pre-shot routine, spend minimal time looking for errant shots, and can drive a golf cart with the best of them.
So, while golf technology has produced many benefits, there are limits. Until the day comes – as is happening with self-driving automobiles — when we will simply program robots to play for us, our human frailties – mental and physical – continue to be the biggest factor in success or failure on the links. You can adjust that R1 driver to the max, but the ball is only going to go so far with my anemic swing speed. I'm at peace with this, for now, but bowling is always an option.WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?

I am Nicola Soseilos,
professional masseur since 2010
after I studied various massage
techniques in India and Thailand.
The Oriental practice
of massage techniques
approach the individual as whole,
formed by the muscular dimension
and the emotional one
and the goal is to re-establish
both physical welfare
and mental balance.
Therefore I have created 3
massage sessions where in each one
I combine different techniques,
I use diversified pressure and rhythm,
according to the individual's needs
and the desired result to achieve:
physical welfare,
mental relaxation or both.
Deep Tissue
Anti Stress
60 minutes session – 30 €
75 minutes session – 40 €
90 minutes session – 50 €
*120 minutes session – 60 €
*only for 2 persons:
2 sessions of 60 minutes each
(One after the other)
Deep Tissue
In this session,
the body is worked with intense
pressure by using strong tools as
thumbs, forearms, elbows in order
to reach into the deep muscle tissues
and resolve problems like knots,
blockages and stiffness.
The movement of the massage
is fast and regenerating, re-establishing
in this way muscle elasticity and good blood
circulation, relaxing muscle spasms,
cramps and rigid joints.
Emphasis is given on every part
of the body that is in need to be unblocked,
legs back / front, gluteus, lower and
upper back, shoulders, neck, arms
meaning all areas that are permanently
under pressure causing tightness and pain.
This session is recommended for persons
that want their body, every muscle,
to be work up well and to get unblocked,
for persons that have intense physical
work activity, before or after exercise,
for warm up and cooling down respectively.
Anti Stress
In this session,
the body is worked with less pressure
by making slow and soft massage
movements only on the surface
muscle tissues.
Attention is given to the mental
relaxation and at the re-establishment
of the internal balance,
calm and tranquility
instead of muscle restoration.
Emphasis is given on the head, skull,
hair, neck, shoulders and face with
relaxing techniques that affect in a very
beneficial way in eliminating headaches,
migraines, insomnia.
Special care is given also on the feet,
toes, sole, hands and fingers.
Beneficial force for relaxation,
have also from their very nature,
the combination of the essential oils
that I use, that promote the improvement
of mental serenity.
This massage session is ideal against
anxiety, stress, psychological pressure
and fatigue, offers rejuvenation,
relaxation and the feeling of deep rest.
This version can be planed and adjusted
on request of the receiver's personal needs,
giving emphasis on specific parts
of the body and others to be worked
less or in a different way.
For example, it may be requested
to be given emphasis and to work
with pressure by using "Deep tissue"
techniques only the waist, back, neck
and shoulders and at the rest
of the body to be done a more
relaxing session
Or to be given emphasis
at the legs and to be given less time
on the rest of the body etc
The combinations are infinite
as many are the different individual
needs and this session's target
is to cover them in an absolute way,
so that the receiver afterwards
will have the bodily and mentally
benefits in the grade that it was needed.
I use Aromatherapy as a base,
meaning that I do the massage
with oil enriched
with essential fragrances.
The oil I use is the almond oil
that is the best for massage,
rich in vitamin E, in which
I add essential oil of bergamot
that is unique for stimulation
and natural detoxification
of the skin and lavender
that promote mental well being.
Before I use the oil on the skin
I worm it up for immediate
easing of tensed muscles.
For the same reason
and for the maximum
comfort of the receiver,
the massage table is heated.
There is possibility to bath
before and after the session.
There are towers, slippers
and all products that are
needed for bathing and after bath.
The place where the sessions are made
is designed with simplicity and positive
Color and smell are joined
with the warmth of the candles
and the calming music.
The air is filtered through
an air cleaning ionizer system.
The temperature is controlled
throughout the year.
