It isn't true love until someone gets hurt.
Sam's a new man. Yes, he's still too tall, too skinny, too dorky, too gay, and has that unfortunate addiction to romance novels, but he's wised up. His One True Love is certainly still out there, but he knows now that real life is nothing like fiction. He's cultivated the necessary fortitude to say "no" to the next Mr. Wrong, no matter how hot, exciting, and/or erotic-novel-worthy he may be.
Until he meets Ian.
Ian's a new man. He's pain-free, has escaped the job he hated and the family who stifled him, and is now—possibly—ready to dip his toe into the sea of relationships. He's going to be cautious, though, maybe start with someone who knows the score and isn't looking for anything too complicated. Someone with experience and simple needs that largely revolve around the bedroom.
Until he meets Sam.
Sam's convinced that Ian is no one's Mr. Right. Ian's sure that Sam isn't his type. They can't both be wrong . . . can they?

About the Author
Enjoy this Book?
Ian Cully locked up his house—ex-house—one last time and contemplated throwing away the key.
Nah, quitting his job, selling his home, and moving the hell out of California was probably symbolic enough. Instead he just watched the brass glint in his hand. Then he stared at the deadbolt and the knob.
It isn't too late to go back to the department and drive a desk. That thought triggered a sudden and visceral flash of scraping his back on the asphalt and the sound of his skin sizzling.
Yeah, fuck it. He wanted the hell out of California. Wanted to live around family he liked. Put some distance between him and his dad.
That's it? his cousin Jurgen asked from behind him.
He should probably stop standing on his porch—former porch—staring at the locking hardware.
Uh, yeah.
C'mon then. I want to get moving before dark. Jurgen's feet scuffed on the wood as he turned, and then Ian felt the boards give as he thudded down the steps.
He stared some more. Jurgen didn't say anything else, even though he was probably waiting by Ian's truck, back crammed full of stuff, ready to take off after the moving van that had left a half hour ago. Leaving the porch had been to give Ian space, although he knew damn well Jurgen wanted to get home to his boyfriend.
Still, Jurgen'd probably wait half the day if Ian needed the time.
Ian turned around, shoving the key in his back pocket, and headed down the stairs. Yeah, it was time to leave. Get rid of the last of the old life, because he was sure the hell ready for a new one.
When he reached his truck, Jurgen didn't move to climb inside. Instead he reached out and gripped Ian's shoulder too hard, pinching a nerve, but Ian didn't let himself flinch.
Jurgen looked him straight in the eye.
You're doing the right thing.
Ian nodded, held there by Jurgen's hand.
I am, yeah.
Gets you the hell away from the chief.
Ian had to look away.
If Jurgen didn't stop the personal sharing shit, Ian might have to rethink the moving near him thing.
Oh, wait. He was supposed to practice expressing his emotions now. He shoved his hands in his pockets and cleared his throat.
Yeah, uh . . . It was stupid, you know? The accident. But I guess it kind of straightened out my priorities. He stepped back from Jurgen, until his hand fell off Ian's shoulder.
Jurgen tipped his chin at Ian and turned toward the passenger door of the truck. That must have been enough bonding time for Jurgen. And thank God, it hadn't even been that hard. He could do this; all of it. No more being a firefighter, no more telling his dad he sometimes dated women,
just to make sure.
Yeah, the previous thirty-odd years hadn't worked out so well, but now he was pretty much free of that old life. Next step was to figure out what the fuck it was he actually did want out of the world. How hard could it be?
Sam took a shortcut through a park located smack between the campus bookstore and his place, walking all over leaf-strewn grass he probably shouldn't have, clutching the book he'd hidden under his plaid shirt-jacket. He just needed to get to his apartment before he saw someone he knew.
If he ran into someone he knew, they'd expect him to stop and talk, because that's the kind of guy he was: the smiley, friendly, talky kind. Then, because he didn't have his backpack—mental note, bring backpack next time—they'd want to know what he was clutching away so furtively, guiltily, under his jacket. And—in spite of aspiring to an MFA in writing—he could never seem to come up with a plausible lie in truly dire situations.
At which point he'd have to make a break for it. Dammit, he was wearing those cool lumberjack boots he'd bought the last time he'd visited Nik in Whitetail Rock, and—newsflash—they sucked for running.
They looked good with plaid shirt-jackets, though.
A shouted
Hey! interrupted his riotous thoughts.
He knew, he just knew, they were shouting at him. And he had a romance novel hidden under his shirt. A romance novel with a lurid cover featuring a bare-chested, kilt-wearing man on horseback, clutching a saloon-girl-cum-fair-maiden to his brawny chest.
Hey! Get the hell off the field!
Crap. Sam ran, hunching to protect the book, stumbling in an ungainly sideways sort of run.
He looked back over his shoulder. A whole pack of brawny Highlanders was chasing him. Sure, they had jeans on, and only some of them were bare-chested, but they all had that meaner-than-hell-Scot look in their eyes. It wouldn't have surprised Sam in the least if their knobby-yet-manly knees had been flashing under yards of plaid.
The leader of the clan made Robert the Bruce look like a little nellie boy. He was tall, thickly muscled, and light haired, with scruff Sam could see from ten yards away while running and looking backward over his shoulder. He had one of those brows that bordered on hairy Neanderthal, but somehow looked macho and sexy. His mouth was open, screaming some kind of battle cry, and he was gaining on Sam. Reaching out to grab him.
Sam slowed, considering the merits of letting the sexy Highlander catch him. Then his self-preservation instinct kicked in. He faced forward, clutched the book tighter, and put on some speed.
That was when some projectile clocked him in the back of the head. It nearly sent him into a somersault. His legs couldn't keep up with the forward momentum of his upper body. His knees gave and he pitched forward, throwing out his hands to catch himself.
Which was, of course, when he lost his grip on the book and dropped it. Actually, it was more of a fling than a drop. Sam lay there, cheek on the cold, damp autumnal grass, front getting soaked with dew, stunned and blinking at his book a few feet in front of him. Verdant, his brain supplied. Your romance novel is lying in a verdant field of grass, longing for its reader. A weird-looking, snub-nosed white football wobbled its way into his field of vision and came to a rocking halt.
Knees dropped onto the grass next to his head, jolting him. Sam strained his eyeballs upward and saw the brawny, shirtless Highlander who'd been leading the pack panting and scowling down at him. His sexy faux-Highlander muscles were straining and his chest was rising and falling rapidly. He had a veritable forest of caramel chest hair.
He made the best living, breathing (panting) romance novel cover Sam had ever seen. Macho and manly and stern and, oh man. Sam sighed. Guys like this were never gay. They were always the ones chasing the homos.
At that point it occurred to him to wonder why they'd been chasing him.
What are you doing? he gurgled. His sluggish brain suddenly started calling out the anxiety attack.
The guy panted a couple of breaths before growling,
Playing smear-the-queer. Waddaya think? We're playing rugby! He huffed derisively, then turned away. Sam saw him reach for the football, his hand hesitating over the book.
Oh, fuck my life. Sam scrunched his eyes shut. Other feet pounded up around him, and voices asked if he was all right and What the fuck? Sam held his breath, waiting for the shaming to begin.
When he felt something shoved roughly under his side, his eyes popped open, and he looked into the smiling, patronizing face of the Highlander. His fingers brushed against Sam's ribcage as he pulled his hand away.
Sam smiled tentatively. The Highlander shook his head in disgust, except he was smiling, just a little.
You all right? he asked.
Uh. Yeah. Sam stared dumbly. Was that a chorus of angels he heard? The sounds of the other players faded away as Sam met his Highlander's mossy green eyes. He felt a something lock into place inside his chest. Click.
Twue wuv.
It appeared to be a one-sided revelation.
His Highlander gazed back at him with some emotion in his eyes. It was . . . confusion. Confusion quickly becoming something more like condescension. He lifted his hand, still on his knees in the grass beside Sam, reaching for him as if in slow motion. Sam realized with horror that the Highlander was going to give him a conciliatory pat on the head and then stand up and walk away. Didn't he feel the click, too? How completely unfair that Sam should know instantly that this man was his destiny, but his stupid Highlander had no clue.
Poor, naïve hero. He wouldn't know what hit him when he finally fell in love. Sam almost felt sorry for him. Almost. It was hard to feel sorry for some bastard who was about to pat your head and dismiss you, soul mate or not.
Ian! One of his Highlander's clan, um, teammates was suddenly standing there, shaking the Highlander's shoulder.
Ian. His name is Ian. Sam sighed.
The Highlander—Ian—dropped his hand and looked away from Sam.
C'mon, man, you gonna play or what?
Ian looked back at Sam for a second.
Yeah. Just give me a minute. The guys on the team started to wander away while Ian reached again for Sam.
At first Sam thought he was going to get the head pat after all, but Ian held out his hand, palm up. As if he wanted Sam to take it.
Sam stared at the hand a second, then looked back up at Ian. He was an ideal romance novel hero, in Sam's humble (yet well-read) opinion. All those muscles and that curly hair on his chest. Sprinkles of gold above his nipples, thicker on his massive, blocky pectorals. Who knew blocky was so hot? Guh. The hair, though. Sublime. Thinner on the sides but growing in toward his center, a line of it defining his sternum, swirling around his navel, arrowing toward his groin. Happy trails to you . . .
Ian snorted out a laugh, and Sam jerked his head off the ground. Ian was laughing at him, one side of his mouth curled up.
Oops. Sam might have let the ogling get out of control.
You need help getting up, or what? C'mon, we wanna play. In a lower voice, he added,
Put your eyes back in your head.
Oh. Sam felt his face get hot as he reached out and took Ian's hand. The way this was going, it would be his only chance to touch his Highlander. Ian pulled him up so fast, he went from prone to standing with no stops in between.
Jeez, you're strong. And you, Sam, are a conversational reject.
Ian just snorted that laugh again and looked at him. Standing, they were about the same height. That was kind of unusual. It made Sam's insides clench.
You all right, kid?
Kid? Oh! A pet name.
Um, yeah, think so.
Let me see your eyes, he said, getting in Sam's face. Sam swallowed and held his breath while Ian scrutinized him carefully for something. Studying his eyes. They were his best feature, which wasn't saying much in his opinion. He'd never had someone pay quite this much attention to them, though.
Yeah, Ian muttered.
Same size.
Uh . . .?
Your pupils. That ball hit you pretty hard. You might want to go to urgent care and get your head checked out, but you look all right to me. Ian shrugged, then added,
Not that I'm a professional.
Oh. Sparkling small talk, there.
Um, my name's Sam.
Ian looked smirky, but held out a hand for him to shake.
Yeah, I caught that. Um, you know . . . The blood started pounding in Sam's ears. Was he really doing this? He pretty much had to; it was the job of any successful romance protagonist. Sam wanted to be a successful romance protagonist, especially in this particular plotline.
Why don't you let me buy you a cup of coffee or something? Kind of a thank you.
Saying thank you with coffee. All the best heroes did it.
Ian eyed Sam, suddenly cautious.
What makes you think I'd be into a date with a guy?
The click.
Oh, uh . . . Straight guys don't usually realize when I'm, you know, um . . . when I'm checking them out. Sam waved at Ian's naked, sculpted, hairy chest. Yum.
Or they get all, you know . . . Sam bared his teeth and faux-growled instead of continuing.
You are such a dork.
True that. Ian looked away from Sam, crossing his arms over his chest. Oooh, veiny forearms, and biceps like citrus fruits. Sam stared, and Ian finally said in a low voice,
Listen, kid, you're not really my type. Sorry, but . . . He shrugged.
Sam's stomach bottomed out. He couldn't quite meet Ian's eyes.
Oh, that's not—I mean, I didn't figure I was, just . . . I really wanted to say thank you. Jesus, getting shot down was excruciating. It had never happened to him before. Probably because he'd never asked anyone out before.
It was unlikely he would in the future, either, based on this experience.
There, you said it. You're welcome. Now go get checked out. And don't forget your book. Ian looked back down on the ground, where the impression of Sam was still fresh in the grass. His romance novel lay about where his heart had been.
Sam felt his face go redder. He bent over and snatched up the book, tucking it into his jacket.
Thanks, he mumbled, not looking at Ian. Shot down and humiliated. Twice.
Ian laughed shortly. It wasn't a mean laugh, exactly. Just a sardonic one.
You're welcome. Go on, Sam. My name, he said my name.
And stay off the field from now on, okay?
Sam watched him walk off. He only meant it to be a glance, but Ian's back was mesmerizing. Yeah, he was sexy, but his skin was a mass of shiny smooth splotches mixed in with swirling scar tissue below his shoulder blades, all the way down, disappearing into his jeans. Three or four different shades of pink and tan. Parallel to his spine just above the small of his back was an incision scar. Dark brown and graphic, maybe five inches long.
Oh! My Highlander's been wounded. A scarred man, looking for the one person who can help his heart heal.
Sam caught himself before he clutched his chest from the angst of it all. He was a fool. A geeky, not-very-attractive fool. A too-tall twink of a fool who didn't get the time of day from hot muscle bears. If he were cute and small and blond (as opposed to towering, underweight, and bland), maybe Ian would want to tie him up and have his way. But Sam wasn't.
He looked down sadly at his book, then covered the heroine's face and most of her cleavage with his thumb and gazed at the Highlander beside her. He seemed so two-dimensional.
Just you and me, buddy. You're all the Highlander I'm gonna get.
Hey, kid! someone shouted.
Get the hell off the field!
Ian wasn't into pale, weak guys. Guys with no muscles and too-long, shaggy, wispy hair and blond eyelashes that disappeared unless they were in full sunlight. Long, coltish legs didn't do it for him, either. The fuck were coltish legs, anyway? Other than too damn skinny.
Ian liked muscular, barrel-chested, built-like-a-fireplug guys. With dark hair and a five o'clock shadow at 10 a.m.
Most importantly, he liked guys who were shorter than him.
Didn't he?
He shook his head at the memory of the kid making that awkward come-on. Maybe Ian had shot him down kind of hard, but you had to be cruel to be kind. And hell, he didn't have time to try to figure this out, he had too much other stuff to work on.
Tierney calling out to him brought his attention back to the present. He broke into a jog to get back into the game.
Weird how he could still feel the imprint of the kid's hand in his.
Sam didn't go to urgent care; he went to the cafeteria and got coffee. Then he sat down and stared off into various spaces, thinking.
Unrequited love. The bane of the romance novelist. Although it led to a hell of a lot of successful plots.
Actually, it wasn't so much the bane of the romance novelist as the bread and butter.
Not a plot one wanted to undergo in one's own life, though. It never seemed to work out quite the same way it did in books. Sam had a lifetime of experiences that told him that.
He was pretty sure he was supposed to want a guy like himself. An awkward, intellectual not-quite-twink who knew nothing about sports and everything about Proust. A guy who was skinny and washed out and maybe even soft-spoken (they couldn't be alike in every way, after all). The kind of guy who was versatile in bed and didn't have any domination or submission fantasies.
Okay, well, that part wouldn't be much like him. Sam had plenty of kink-laden fantasies.
He'd tried to love a guy like that—a guy someone like him was supposed to love—when he first came out. Bryce had been in the same dorm Sam's freshman year. He was tall and gangly (although not quite as much of either as Sam) and only mildly effeminate (making Bryce the butch one), with hair the same shade of bland as Sam's, that color somewhere between blond and wet sand. Bryce was a philosophy major to Sam's English. They'd been a matched set. Salt and pepper. Well, salt and salt, actually. Sea salt and iodized salt?
After about the third month, Sam realized he'd more or less forgotten Bryce's existence for the past week. So he went down to Bryce's room in a guilt-induced dither and knocked frantically on his door. Bryce took a while to answer, and when he finally did, the room was cloudy with pot smoke and there was a naked, stoned, African-American guy on Bryce's bed. Bryce had a sheet wrapped around his hips, and not another scrap of fabric on.
What a relief.
Later, Bryce admitted he hadn't set out to cheat on Sam. He'd just sort of forgotten he had a boyfriend. And that was before he'd smoked any of the other guy's pot.
Overall, Bryce hadn't been a bad experience, really. Not a good experience, either. Sort of just an experience. When Sam had lost his virginity to him, it was an awkward, slightly painful, but mostly boring ten minutes. Later he returned the favor.
Just the year before last, Sam had tried to love a guy who was the opposite of Bryce. Controlling and imposing. A little like Ian the Highlander, maybe—a little, teeny-tiny, infinitesimal bit.
Marley had dreads and was (gasp) shorter than Sam. He drank a couple six-packs a day, collected unemployment, and generally mooched off the world. He had the necessary domination fantasies, but he didn't particularly care if Sam got off or enjoyed himself.
Not so successful for Sam, in the end.
In the future, Sam planned on loving guys who deserved to be loved by him. Preferably just one guy at a time. One he deserved to be loved by. He stared out the window of the cafeteria. The Highlander would make a nice candidate. Not that his scarred Highlander was interested.
Sigh. Unrequited love. Hello, old friend.
Fortunately, before Sam could go mooning off on his personal Fabio (just an expression, because Fabio? Shudder. That man's hair looked like straw and his eyes were too close together), his cell rang. He looked down at it, and Nik's cheesy grin glowed up at him.
Sam didn't even think about not answering. He'd hardly seen Nik since last spring when Nik had graduated and moved to Whitetail Rock with Jurgen.
He really needed to talk to his best friend now.
Hey, he said.
Nik dispensed with greetings when he called Sam. He said it impeded his flow.
You remember when I told you about that Miller Harpe guy from town?
The guy with jungle fever?
"Oh, that's nice, Sam, very sensitive. He was just . . . sheltered. He's not the stupid, ignorant redneck I thought he was. Well, he is kind of ignorant, but I'm planning on fixing that. I guess he's still sort of a redneck, too, come to think of it. I'm not sure I can really do much about that, but I can help him with the gay thing."
He's gay?
Keep up, Sam. Yes, he's gay. The fact that he came around while I was in high school trying to get me to pop his cherry was my first clue.
There's no reason to be a bitch about it.
Sorry. Nik actually sounded it, too. He really had changed since he'd met Jurgen.
It's okay. You weren't, exactly. So you're calling me because of something to do with this guy, Miller?
How astute of you. Clearly, Nik still had a few rough edges Jurgen hadn't managed to smooth.
Yes, I have a plan.
A plan, Sam repeated slowly.
Nik sighed into the silence.
I'm going to introduce him to suitable gay men. It'll be sort of like a gay Big Brothers program. Shepherding him through the world of queerness until he can survive on his own. Until he can find someone else to shelter him.
For a few seconds, Sam was speechless.
What, like you want to help him catch a husband? How come Nik didn't feel the need to help him catch a husband?
No! Like I want to help him get a life. A gay life, maybe a little action. You know.
Sam's feathers unruffled. Ah. Nik had tried doing that for him. Not such a successful plan, all things considered.
Nik, do you remember when you introduced me to Marl—
Anyway, Nik said loudly. Sam had to hold the phone away from his ear for a second. "I'm not

The description of videos are clearly longer then one line but all end abruptly at the end on the first line with no way to expand the video description. For curling matches you can only read the first team playing (literally "curling, mixed doubles, USA vs..."). I can only see who they are playing by watching the video.

Backup, despite the breathless hyperbole of many in the industry, is simply a form of insurance. What's important about your backup strategy is getting your systems and data protected in the most effective and affordable manner possible. Speaking plainly - you must be careful that you are in control of your backup strategy rather than your backup strategy (and vendor) being in control of you.
Ensuring that you focus on your company's profitability and success rather than your backup vendor's can be realized
through just a few key principles:
> Backup without recovery is worthless
> Operational expense drains focus and resource from your business
> Virtualization support can't just be an afterthought
> Heterogeneity isn't just hard to spell - it's even harder to support
Each of these will be explored in detail in the sections that follow.

In an interview, landscape photographer, Galen Rowell, said when the weather report promised a great day, he would stay home and sleep. But when the report warned all to stay inside because a storm was coming, he'd grab his camera and head outdoors. I love how photography has us up and out at odd hours; catching good light.
Here are some pictures I took recently, in the course:

Author: P. Samarasiri (former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank)
No. of Pages: 760
Price: Rs. 1,000
Distributor: Sarasavi Bookshop
This is the sixth book authored by P. Samarasiri covering economics and banking. He, having served in the Central Bank of Sri Lanka for nearly 35 years, presents this book to share some of his knowledge and views on central banking in the interest of macroeconomic management with public accountability.
Central Banks being the state arms for regulating the monetary systems, i.e., money and banking, influence activities of economies and public to an unusual degree. The major conduits of their influence are the money in circulation, credit, interest rates and exchange rates.
This book is a practical guide on how to innovate Central Banks to fix fundamental problems of money and banking to facilitate hygiene of macroeconomic performances of countries and the world. The book covers 16 chapters through three parts, macroeconomic management, Central Banks governance, monetary policy and bank regulation and supervision presented in reader-friendly language.
The book is useful for:
Central Bankers: To know how to drive money and banking prudently and innovatively for economies with accountability to the public
Students in Economics and Business: To know how economies are governed by money and banking
Bankers: To know how banking risks are managed, supervised and regulated
Policymakers: To know how macroeconomic management is innovated
In today's world of economic globalisation through trade and capital, decisions of Central Banks also affect trade-partner countries. Decisions of Central Banks of leading economies such as the USA, Japan and the EU whose currencies have become global reserve currencies cause global spillovers through financial markets.
The best example is the US monetary policy tightening in 2018 as witnessed from the fast increase in the US interest rates by 1% and reduction in money printing by US$ 400 bn which caused competitive interest rate hikes by many Central Banks to stop outflow of capital to the US.
Today, private currencies are evolving in the world posing immense threats to official/central bank currencies and financial stability. The present versions of Central Banks may disappear this century unless Central Banks are globally innovated to address multi-currency systems and macroeconomic risks of digital money and banking.

Are You Here To Survive Or Thrive?
Why do you exist? Is it to do what you're doing right now? Counting down the days till the weekend or your next vacation? Even if you don't buy that there's a real purpose to life, riding things out, playing it safe and waiting for "someday" to live your life is heartbreaking. You're here for a reason.
I grabbed coffee last night with a couple of former colleagues. It's the dead of winter in Canada. Windows have a permanent frost despite the warmth of indoors. It gives you the sense you're in a place of refuge, staring out to the unknown. Looking around, muffled conversations slip in and out. Slight glimpses into the world of strangers. My friend Sarah mentioned a conversation she had with a nurse at work. Even though she's still a good ten years from retirement, that nurse is already just going through the motions each day. There's that generous pension at the end of the road. My reaction: "How could someone squander their life like that?" I didn't expect an answer, it was more of a statement.
I knew the answer. Fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of disappointment Fear of not being good enough. Fear of being wrong. The scariest fear of all.
As a Canadian, winter can feel like a lifetime. We dream of the sun soaking into our skin. It feeds the hope that summer is just around the corner. We promise ourselves to live life to the fullest when our world thaws. What if the thaw never came? What if our promises were excuses to avoid doing what scares us?
Waiting for the perfect circumstances is a fool's errand. Manifesting your own dreams is the key to fulfillment and happiness in life. Adopting this mindset is all you need to start living a life of intention and meaning.
Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is an essential reading that explores this thought. His gripping account of living in concentration camps is sobering. Frankl felt that ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for. Never has there been a better time to be alive, despite a belief that we live in a turbulent world and circumstances are worse than ever. We've lost meaning.
From a man who had his identity stripped, saw his entire family murdered, come the words, "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstance to choose one's own way."
Frankl firmly believed choice is power and in our response to choice lies our growth and freedom. When we are unable to change a situation, we are left with one thing to do. Challenge to change ourselves.
What were you put on this earth for? Find your purpose and share it with the world. Fulfillment will follow. The choice is yours.

How do I hide Pinterest pins?
Some of our clients want to hide certain images on their posts, particularly for posts that have multiple Pinterest pins. Perhaps they want to have different images on Pinterest to attract attention to the post, but they don't want to actually display all of those images on their post.
If this is something you'd like to do, it's pretty straightforward:
- Find the image tag for the image you want to hide.
- Add this code before the opening img tag. <div style ="display:none;">
- Add this code after the closing tag. </div>
If you are having problems with this, it's often the case that the quotation marks are the wrong type of quotation mark! You can copy the code from here to check if this is the case, or just try replacing the quote marks in the article.

Uncle Tom's Cabin
- Letto da: Richard Allen
- Durata: 20 ore e 8 min
- Versione integrale Audiolibro
- Data di pubblicazione: 29/12/2008
- Lingua: Inglese
- Editore: Tantor Audio
Sintesi dell'editore
When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852, it became an international blockbuster, selling more than 300,000 copies in the United States alone in its first year. Progressive for her time, Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the earliest writers to offer a shockingly realistic depiction of slavery. Her stirring indictment and portrait of human dignity in the most inhumane circumstances enlightened hundreds of thousands of people by revealing the human costs of slavery, which had until then been cloaked and justified by the racist misperceptions of the time.

A great listening experience
As with other classics, I first read this book as a teenager. Recently, I decided to purchase it in audiobook format for a "re-read." The story is still terrific and Richard Allen does an absolutely masterful job in the narration.

More on Richard Allen
This book is classic but I have to give the narrator his due. This guy really brought the story to life. He does women's voices and also sings. I felt like I was being read to by my father.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
I was hesitant to listen to this classic due to its duration, but I was sold by the excellent reviews Richard Allen, its narrator, obtained. Wow! This narrator is arguably the best I've heard, and I have listened to many books. The combination of Uncle Tom's plight, the inspiration that led to its writing, and Richard Allen's reading make this an excellent novel. You won't be disappointed.

Thought Provoking
This book took a little getting into but once in it gripped me and made me think not only of the cruelties of slavery but of man's different personalities and his constant ability to find something to differentiate himself from his neighbour.

Richard Allen is Incredible!
The book is engaging in itself, but Richard Allen does an unbelievably great job at narration. He excellently reads male, female, young, old, white, black, and he sings!! This has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I'm so glad I picked this version to listen to.

A Masterpiece
It took decades for me to finally tackle this book, because I always expected a sub-par literary experience. But it is a masterpiece -- written with wit and humanity, fully alive characters, and a gripping story. Yes, it is a melodrama (very popular in the 19th century), and the Christian theme is heavy-handed in parts, which is why it's considered more of a period piece than real literature. Richard Allen's reading is extraordinary and heightened the enjoyment of listening immeasurably. Now I know that Uncle Tom was not a pathetic bow-and-scrape type of man, but a saint-like and heroic character.

Why did I wait so long to read this book?
Probably for Richard Allen's narration.... When you finish Uncle Tom's Cabin, you'll understand why it's a classic. I hope our current generation will see its value and application to the petty, heartless discriminations of our society.

Not what I expected and glad of it
I had expected a story filled with the horrors of slavery. It had its share of heart breaking moments. However, I found it to be more of a Christian testimony of how the life of one faithful man could change so many. Amazing and spiritually uplifting.
I had tried to read this before but was unable to enjoy it due to the way the characters' spoken words were written. Mr. Allen did an amazing job bringing this book to life. I hated to turn it off. I highly recommend.

historic value
I always have heard this book refered to sometimes with scorn and some with hailed praises i can see that those who make fun of uncle tom or berate a person for being an uncle tom have not understood the convictions of the charater or do not know the story... it was heart warming and i can see how it caused great conviction to the humanity of its time excellent!

Fantastic narration
I have wanted to read this book since reading Sue Monk Kidd's 'The invention of wings' about two sisters who were abolitionists. The first version I bought of this audio book was diabolical. The narration was awful. The narrator on this one , Richard Allen, however was first class. He really brought the characters to life. This book has reply affected me and was great to listen to.One of those books where you find many excuses to take a longer route, drive slower, go for long walks or ignore conversations so you can continue listening. Would highly recommend to anyone who would like to hear more personal accounts of slavery based on real life experiences.

wow. just... wow
There are no words to explain the phenomenal book here. Read it. if there is only one book you will ever read or listen to then make it this one. the narration was perfect and you could really see the charecters when each was presented. I am quite a hardy person but even I succumbed to the emotion presented within the book and within the narration that was executed with perfecion by Richard Allen. 10 out of 10 in all aspects!

Great story
I really enjoyed this story that we all hear so much about. I find this book a thought provoking novel and reflecting on when it was written think it is an essential read when thinking about America's history. I would recommend this to everyone to read/ listen to - well worth the investment of time.

Wembley win Wood be wonderful!
Borehamwood Synagogue will hold a special kiddush and toast an extra 'L'chaim' if football club win promotion to League Two this weekend
A Borehamwood shul will hold a special celebration kiddush and offer an extra 'L'chaim' in honour of its local football club if they win promotion to League Two at Wembley this weekend.
The community has been in a football-festive mood all week, with many set to be at the national stadium to cheer on non-league Borehamwood as they bid to become a professional club for the first time.
Hinting at the 'distinct possibility' of there also being a few extra prayers said just hours before kick-off, Rabbi Alex Chapper, the Community Rabbi at Borehamwood & Elstree Synagogue, said: "There are many members of the community who are very excited by the prospect of Boreham Wood FC being promoted and I'm certain some will be offering an extra prayer in synagogue ahead of the game.
"We don't have any specific plans to compose a special prayer, but would certainly send them our best wishes for success. If they are promoted we may hold a special kiddush and have an extra 'L'chaim' to celebrate!"
Chapper, who lives on the doorstep of the club's Meadow Park ground, added: "I walk through the grounds on my way to synagogue on Shabbat morning. I always know when they've scored a goal as I can hear the crowd cheering."
Laurence Turner is a season ticket holder, as well as the barmitzvah co-ordinator at Radlett Reform Synagogue.
Saying how his phone has been red-hot since they booked their place at Wembley from people trying to find out how they can get hold of tickets, he is also one of a group of supporters from the congregation who passionately follows the club.
He said: "We have a number of members who are season ticket holders at Meadow Park and are passionate supporters. While the synagogue doesn't have anything special planned, I can assure you a lot of people here will be saying a little prayer hours before kick-off!".

Josephine Sillars headlines Carnivale to promote her new single.
Starting off the year with the release of her first video 'Hurricanes', it seems apt that November brings the launch of her debut single 'Hello'.
Josephine's music ranges from Sci-Fi referencing quirky pop to emotionally laden ballads. She has played various festivals including Belladrum, Jocktoberfest, the heavy metal festival formerly known as LesFest and this year traveled to Sweden to play SandvikFest 2014.
The summer also saw Josephine take the stage for a series of gigs at the Edinburgh Fringe and for the National Collective.
2014 has seen Josephine build up her reputation in Glasgow playing a whole host of venues in Central Scotland including Oran Mor, Nice'N'Sleazy's, Broadcast and Stereo.
The Carnivale event is on the Saturday the 1st of November and will have support from Hannah Finlayson and Esperi.

British Open Golf : Now with the 2019 Open Championship field taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. One huge shocker the model is calling for: Jordan Spieth, a three-time major champion who won the Open in 2017, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 20 at Royal Portrush.
British Open Golf – Live
Spieth was perhaps the most dominant player on tour from 2015 to 2017, but he's struggled to keep that form over the past two years. And while he's shown a few glimpses of promise this year like his third-place finish at the PGA Championship, followed by top-10 runs at the Charles Schwab Classic and the Memorial Tournament, he doesn't come into the Open Championship 2019 with much momentum.
British Open 2019 streaming: How to watch the 2019 Open Championship online.This is, in my opinion, one of the Open's best qualities. There is nothing like watching a major with the smell of bacon wafting in the air and a cup of hot coffee steaming in your face. You could always fry up bacon as the leaders come down the back nine at Augusta, but that's savage behavior, and it's not the same.
With all that said, it's tough to navigate your viewing schedule and get enough sleep to not be dead by Sunday. Do you stay up all night and power through? Do you set your alarm for 4 a.m. and miss some early featured groups? Do you keep your normal schedule and risk missing an early-morning 64 from Phil Mickelson? It's overwhelming. We came up with a step-by-step guide to watching first-round coverage that will help you catch all the best action and get an adequate amount of sleep. For the full television schedule, click here.
The final major of 2019 begins Thursday morning well before the sun rises on the East Coast of the United States.
The British Open returns to Northern Ireland and a designed Royal Portrush Dunluce links course for the first time since 1951. Northern Ireland native and 2011 Champion Golfer of the Year Darren Clarke hits the opening tee shot, weather permitting, at 1:35 a.m. ET (6:35 a.m. local time) from No. 1.
Among the very big names to watch: Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, three-time Open champion Tiger Woods, two-time defending PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka, a leaner-but-never-meaner Phil Mickelson and 2018 Champion Golfer of the Year Francesco Molinari.

The Australian Football League (AFL) has done a great job of launching and promoting its AFL Women's competition, so I was intrigued to read about a former rider who made the move from professional cyclist to AFL player. I actually met Emma Mackie a few years ago when she worked for Specialized and I was on a training course. We rode side-by-side and I asked her about her professional riding career. Since that time, it has all changed for her so this time I asked her about her new sporting career as an AFL player. Q: You reached the highest levelRead more

Help – Will cycling make my thighs bigger?
This seems to be one of those recurring questions that I get asked – Will cycling make my thighs bigger? You'll be pleased to know that the answer is an emphatic no. In my own case I've slimmed down in my thigh and bottom area since I took up cycling, even though I actually weigh more than I previously did. Here's a few reasons why your legs are not going to expand: Muscle is leaner than fat Muscle weighs a lot more than fat. Cycling will change the shape of your legs, but unless you're doing a lot of squats,Read more
Celebrate International Women's Day by reflecting on the plight of girls in developing nations
Happy International Women's Day everyone. Today is a day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. And while I'm walking around my comfortable house singing "I am woman, hear me roar", I think it's important to reflect on the lives of women and girls around the world, who have so many challenges for even their basic needs. Last week I met up with the fabulous Dagmar who is charged with the responsibility of starting the work of the amazing charity World Bicycle Relief in Australia. And this is where the International Women's Day tie-in comes. WorldRead more
Women gain equal prize money for Women's Tour Down Under
Congratulations to the South Australian Government on its inspired decision to offer equal prize money for the Women's Tour Down Under pro cycling race. As the men's edition of the race was wrapping up on the weekend, the Sports Minister announced that his Government would add extra cash to the prize pool. I believe this is a first for women's professional road cycling, where the women usually earn way less in prize money even for similar races. In last year's Tour of Flanders race, the women's prize money was reportedly 1,100 euros, compared to about 20,000 euros for the men.Read more
The Cyclists' Alliance is a huge leap forward for women's professional cycling
I almost missed the news that slipped out just before Christmas that a fantastic new initiative for women's professional cycling, The Cyclists' Alliance was here. Formed and backed by some of women's cycling's biggest names, the new international cycling union aims to be a resource and a cohesive voice for professional cyclists in order to promote and protect athlete safety and enhance professionalism within the sport. "We will work as a partner with the UCI and the UCI-registered women's teams to help them form the first women's teams association in global cycling," says founder Iris Slappendel. "The Alliance is here toRead more
Amazing persistence and focus pays off for Aussie Pro Cyclist Rachel Neylan
Two months ago, I attended a women's cycling event at a local bike shop and was thrilled to meet Aussie pro cyclist Rachel Neylan. I was really impressed when I heard Rachel recount her story of determination to reach the top echelons of Australian women's cycling. I was also impressed to find out that she was the driving force behind the event I was attending, and she was leaving Australia the very next day to begin her European season. On the night Rachel agreed to an interview and here's the result….. Q: How did you get into cycling? I wasRead more
Get behind the Aussie riders in the Giro Rosa 2017
Each year I promote the women's pro cycling race, Italy's Giro Rosa 2017, and each time I also lament the fact that it's held at the same time as the very high profile Tour de France. As a consequence it passes by almost unnoticed by most sports fans. Up until a few years ago it was considered the biggest stage race on the women's calendar, but I'd argue that the much newer stage races – the Women's Tour of Britain and the Women's Tour of California – have now got a higher profile. Nonetheless I'd like to play my partRead more
Get out and support the 2017 Women's Tour cycle race
I love to see women's pro cycling develop, and one race that's growing nicely is the 2017 Women's Tour cycle race, previously known as the Women's Tour of Britain which starts in England tomorrow. It's a five stage race covering the areas of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire Derbyshire, and a final criterium race in London on 11 June 2017. This year is the fourth edition of the race, and the first time the race has finished in the capital, using the same six-kilometre circuit around central London as the men's Tour of Britain. Speaking at the launch of the route, race directorRead more
Meet Aussie Pro Cyclist Amanda Spratt who started 2017 in style
This week we hear from European-based Aussie pro cyclist Amanda Spratt, who hails from my home state of NSW. Amanda, or Spratty as I believe she's known, has had a solid start to 2017 with a few great results. She was the overall winner of the Women's Tour Down Under series and second in the Australian National Road Race, a title which she won in 2012 and 2016. Q: You started this year well with a win in the Women's Tour Down Under series on home soil, how has the year continued for you? My first goal for 2017 wasRead more

I love love love Italian flavours. Always have done. I had gnocchi for the first time a couple of years ago (I know, I can't believe it either) and it was the most delicious food I'd ever had. In a light garlic basil oil with sundried tomatoes, it tasted like heaven. Then and there I decided that I would somehow recreate it for myself. Unfortunately I had no idea how it was made or what I had to do to make it gluten-free. It was a task that seemed daunting.
Therefore, I'm really pleased with this recipe for Yam Gnocchi with Basil Pesto & Mushrooms, not least because it is both gluten-free and vegan (hooray), but because it's a delicious flavour pairing. I intended to serve the gnocchi with pesto alone and was making the balsamic mushrooms for another dish, then accidentally tried them in the same mouthful. I think you'll agree the combination is perfect. The balsamic sweetness offsets the savoury pesto delicately and creates a beautifully rounded flavour.
Due to its gluten-free and vegan nature, this Yam Gnocchi with Basil Pesto is a little more delicate than the usual variety. When it cooks it may not look at though it has held together like regular gnocchi. Allow the pieces to drain and cool for a moment and this will help them firm up. Results can be a little unpredictable with this recipe but I'd recommend persevering and getting familiar with it. Once you get used to working with gluten-free gnocchi you'll find you get the hang of it. (And once you cover them in pesto you really won't care whether they look perfect or not!)
Yam Gnocchi with Basil Pesto & Mushrooms (vegan + gluten-free)
- 1 large bunch of basil, thick stalks removed
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- 3 tbsp cashew pieces
- Salt and pepper
Balsamic Mushrooms
- 1½ cups small brown mushrooms, diced
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced (into 1½cm cubes)
- 1 medium yam, peeled and diced (into 1½cm cubes)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¾ cup brown rice flour
- Salt and pepper
To Serve
- 2 cups mixed baby greens
- 3 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- Prepare all ingredients as instructed above.
For the pesto
- Pulse all ingredients except half the olive oil in a blender to form a loose mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Scoop the pesto out into a glass jar and gently stir in the rest of the oil until almost combined. Set aside.
For the mushrooms
- Heat the mushrooms with the vinegar, adding salt and pepper to taste in a small frying pan until bubbling gently.
- Cook the mixture on low for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the vinegar no longer tastes acidic. Set aside.
For the gnocchi
- Place the potato and yam cubes into a saucepan of hot water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until both vegetables are soft.
- Drain and place the yam and potato back in the saucepan.
- Using a potato ricer, mash until smooth, adding the garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the flour, kneading the mixture into a dough. (It's tempting to add less flour as the mixture can look a little dry – don't do it!)
- Using your hands, roll the dough into two sausages about 3cm wide and press down on them to slightly flatten them into oblong shapes.
- Cut each into 1.5cm slices.
- Gently press a fork into one surface of each piece for texture.
- To cook, add all the gnocchi to a large pan of boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface.
- Remove from the heat and gently drain in a sieve (the gnocchi can be delicate at this stage).
To serve
- Serve the gnocchi over a bed of baby leaves.
- Add the balsamic mushrooms and drizzle pesto over the plate.
- Finally, sprinkle the toasted pine nuts on top and enjoy.

Egypt passes constitutional amendmentsJune 18th, 2012 - 12:43 pm ICT by IANS
Cairo, June 18 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Egypt's ruling military council has passed a few amendments to the constitution that will outline the future president's powers and responsibilities, state television reported.
The text of the declaration of amendments will be officially announced Monday at a press conference by Gen. Mamduh Shahin, spokesman for the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
On Sunday, Egyptians went to the polls in the second round of presidential elections, the first since Hosni Mubarak was forced to step down after an uprising in February last year.
The election results are expected to be announced June 21.
According to Egypt's Al-Ahram daily, the new amendments will give the president a broad spectrum of powers.
In particular, the new leader will have the right to appoint a prime minister, other ministers and their deputies as well as to represent Egypt on the international arena.
He will also be able to appoint Egyptian ambassadors to other countries.
The president will also have the right to call for elections to the parliament and approve the state budget, according to the daily.
Sunday's presidential runoff saw Mohammed Mursi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, competing against Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister in the Mubarak regime.
The run-up to the election was marred in controversy after the Supreme Constitutional Court dissolved parliament last week.

A car repair can be a major hassle as most people need their cars for daily life. It's very hard to get around when your car is not working. You don't always need to pay huge amounts of money for repairs. You can handle many auto repairs by yourself.
Ask all the questions you have at the shop. Find out what caused the issues, and ask what you can do so this does not happen again. One of the best ways to reduce costs is by preventative maintenance.
You do not have to contact a mechanic every time your car has problems. You can easily learn to perform small repairs yourself. You can take your chances by going on the Internet to find some information to see if you can locate the problem. It isn't all that hard, and you can really save lots of money by repairing your car yourself.
You must wash your car to keep the rust away. All cars are going to rust, so make sure that you wash your vehicle at least once a month. Wax the paint job to protect it.
Always keep a record of any maintenance done to your car. If you experience future problems with your vehicle, this past record will help the mechanic in diagnosing the problems. Without records, you might have to pay higher costs due to taking longer to find the problem.
Ask your mechanic to use OEM parts. OEM parts are parts that are made by the manufacturer. Generic parts may be cheaper, but the quality may not be the same as OEM parts. You may save in the short term, but additional failures could end up costing you big time.
Always try to figure out the problem with your car before you bring it in for repairs. This will save you a ton of money, and it can prevent you from becoming a fraud victim. If you bring your car to a shop, you are sure to pay a hefty fee.
A spare tire and a jack are valuable items to have in case of an emergency. They are included with most new vehicles. You don't need to be stuck somewhere you don't know and need to pay a lot for towing. It will be quicker and less costly when you do it yourself.
Quality Tools
Put together a small tool kit for your car and keep it in your trunk. Your car came with equipment needed for changing a tire. If you don't have a jack and lug wrench, get one. In addition, include a few different screwdrivers and wrenches. Don't buy low-quality tools. Get high quality tools that will be able to withstand the test of time.
In conclusion, you do not need to spend a fortune to have your car repaired if it breaks down. You just need to know when to DIY or get professional help. This article shows you what to do in future.

DISABLED people targeted by criminals and yobs can now report them at special centres.
In a pioneering move Kirklees Council is thought to be the first in the country to set up such a scheme.
Based in community rooms, housing offices and advice centres, reporting centres are seen as more convenient and less intimidating than police stations and are staffed by trained workers.
Disabled people will be able to report hate incidents, which include being attacked, threatened or insulted with the aggressor motivated by the victim's disabilities.
Clr Khizar Iqbal, chairman of Kirklees Safer Communities Partnership, said: "Hate crime is often under-reported. It is crucial that victims speak out rather than keep it hidden so action can be taken to support them and help create safer communities."
Twenty staff at two centres in Huddersfield and one in both Dewsbury and Batley have been trained to record disability hate incidents.
It follows the introduction of new legislation under the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
Judges can now increase sentencing if a crime is aggravated by hostility towards someone because they are mentally or physically disabled. Similar legislation already exists for racism and homophobia.
Last year, eight hate incident reporting centres specifically for the gay and lesbian community were set up.
Javier Santana-Acosta, strategic diversity officer for Kirklees Safer Communities Partnership, said: "Hate incidents and crime committed against people because of their disability is not acceptable.
"Our message to anyone affected is don't suffer in silence. Report it and get support. You will be taken seriously.
"The development of these disability-specific centres in Kirklees reflects the national agenda that also recognises racist and homophobic hate crime.
"Incidents are under-reported because victims fear repercussions."
The public can give information about an incident against themselves or someone else either on the record or anonymously.
They will be offered help from other agencies - including the police - if they want to take further action.
The disability-specific reporting centres are based in Gateway To Care, 2 Market Street, Huddersfield, 01484 223000; The University of Huddersfield, Queensgate, Huddersfield, 01484 422288; The Walsh Building, Town Hall Way, Dewsbury, 01924 325070; and Batley Resource Centre, 90 Commercial Street, Batley, 01924 326331.
To report racist and homophobic incidents telephone the Stop Hate Line for Yorkshire and the Humber on 0800 1381625.

Over the last few years, Google and the other search engines have begun placing more and more focus on local search. The logic of this is pretty sound: if a person is looking for a product or service, they're typically looking for a local provider. If Google wants to continue to be successful, they want to provide relevant search results for searches and, in this case, it means showing local businesses related to the search term.
This means that when you go to Google and type in "lawyer," it's going to give you a listing of local lawyers, including a map showing attorneys in your area with reviews.
The first step to getting your law firm on Google Maps is to get signed up with Google My Business, their new center for business listings. With that site, you'll add your law firm, verify the listing, and can then optimize your business listing with more information about your practice. If you don't have your office configured with Google, you're going to have a tough time ranking in the Local Search results.
The next step is to build citations. Citations are directory listings on the web for business. There are hundreds of these listings, and it can be time-consuming to add your law firm to those. (This is part of our service with our VIP Marketing program.) Here are some of the large directories:
- local.yahoo.com
- YouTube.com
- bing.com
- mapquest.com
- yelp.com
- Foursquare.com
- FindLaw.com
- AmericanBar.org
- yellowpages.com
- yellowbook.com
- Merchantcircle.com
- city-data.com
- Manta.com
Again, there are hundreds of these, and you'll want to get your firm listed with as many as possible. Why? Because Google uses these directories to validate your NAP (name, address, and phone). If you have 100 directory listings for your firm pointing to your legal website, Google is going to give your website and Local listing more weight in the search rankings.
The third step to building your Google Local ranking is to integrate your Google+ listing with your website. This is another way for Google to verify your legitimacy.
Finally, you'll need to build reviews on Google+ from satisfied clients. If you have a healthy set of Google+ reviews from real clients, that gives even more credibility, as Google wants to send people to reputable law firms. We'll discuss review building in another article.
Marketing your law firm involves a lot of steps, and we're here to help. You can get free advice with our Complete Guide to Legal Marketing, or you can check out our VIP Legal Marketing Service. If you have any questions, give us a call or contact us here for more information.

Every 51 minutes, other person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of all fatalities.
You can locate more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the twist of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns performance to educate American drivers very nearly drunk driving? This article will have enough money a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private captivation groups, advocating for widespread tribute of something called buzzed driving. as a result what is it?
Buzzed driving is a certainly easy concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed gruffly by the bloodstream and common tests, in imitation of a breathalyzer, can acquit yourself the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving like a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or well along is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers in the region of invariably experience sedation and slower confession times. In extra words, its comprehensibly dangerous to steer subsequently that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is usefully having a BAC degrade than 0.08% but innovative than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont fine-tune The habit I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One description from UC San Diego that evaluated crash reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than self-disciplined drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far away more risky than driving sober.
The genuine trouble is that American be active and public policy tend to look upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that extraction and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a crash increases steadily and adroitly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no sharp transition afterward comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the solution analysis.
The tab from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal disrespect Prevention. You can retrieve a summary here.
The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a legal limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances real limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia every have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized afterward severe fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds isolated regions to use 0.08% BAC as its legitimate limit.
Has The advocate Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public utility announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving vigilance campaign. on their website, they version that their ads reached nearly one half of all American adults more than the age of 21. And that there was a significant lump in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned just about the issue of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And though public attentiveness is unquestionably important, Americas legislators have still to reply to our extra bargain of buzzed driving. In fact, subsequently most permit governments attend to to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers below 21 or try helpfully that they wont tolerate any driver gone a BAC over 0.08%.
Only period will tell whether or not welcome governments follow through on the current research. back up in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas real limit to 0.05%, but no disclose has still to concentrate on this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another recognition has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of different tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol exploitation and abuse. The underlying premise to this protest is that some drunk drivers put-on vehicles though impaired because (in consequently many words) they cant help it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might say yes some impaired drivers off the road in the thesame gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In pedigree in the same way as recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more report than contrast amid alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This line of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a scrutiny released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested definite for drugs after that had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the pain is mixed. And the solution might be, too.

I published my first two blog posts in a while earlier this week and will be sharing things learned and discovered during my absence. Below is one of my favorite reoccurring posts on the blog. It's called Monthly Mash Up and serves as a collection of quotes, books, articles and audio impacting me each month.
I do this the last week of each month. It's my way of peeling back the layers and sharing the things that have the greatest impact on me each month. I hope these resources are helpful and brighten your day. If you enjoy it, pass it along to family, friends and the occasional stranger.
Quote I'm Chewing On
"There is no growth without change, there is no change without loss, and there is no loss without pain. If you are going to grow, you will have to change, and change means you let go of some old things and grab hold of some new things." -Rick Warren, You Can't Change by Accident
