Her Bright Bottom
Review by Christopher J. Jarmick
from RATTLE
by Harvey Goldner
Spankstra Press
110 Vine St #202
Seattle WA 98121
2007, 40 pp., $6.00
Harvey Goldner was an influential Seattle street poet known as the Bard of Belltown (Belltown being a downtown Seattle neighborhood). Once upon a time he had a family, wife, children, but alcoholism and falling in love with someone else derailed his 'normal' life. Eventually he got sober and then took an unofficial vow of poverty to devote his life to poetry. He drove a cab one day a week to raise a few dollars to pay the rent for his boarding house, bathroom down the hall flat, while devoting his time to writing, performing and trying to publish his poetry and mentoring other poets. He hated censorship of any kind, in any form, with a passion. He also had no patience for callous corporate types--young or old.
Harvey lived to shock, surprise, and entertain. He played harmless pranks on people, and he wanted a reaction positive or negative from everyone who heard him read. He also helped street poets get published--even publishing a very cheaply produced literary magazine called RoarShock that he edited in a completely unconventional way, sometimes re-writing some of the poems that were submitted to him and publishing them without showing his edits to the poets who wrote them. The poets would get credit, and sometimes the edits made the poems better, but many didn't like Harvey's methods.
He didn't care what others thought as he created and edited what he wanted, how he wanted and whenever he wanted.
It is not surprising that his poetry was sometimes crude and vulgar, often full of no-holds-barred humor, making fun of the elite and arrogant. What was surprising was how witty, creative, and innovative his poetry was. And sometimes there were surprisingly literary and academic references revealing that Harvey was a well-read and well-educated writer.
Chris Dusterhoff worked with Harvey to create a series of chapbooks containing some of Harvey's work. They are somewhat crudely produced, but artistic works published under the Spankstra Press name. Her Bright Bottom was the last of these chapbooks to be published before Harvey died of cancer on July 4th, 2007. One hundred and fifty total were printed. Twenty-six are signed and numbered by the author. Original price was $6.00. You can inquire about availability by emailing Chris at email@example.com.
Her Bright Bottom consists of two long Goldner poems: "Her Bright Bottom: 19 sonnets in a silver bowl" and "A Wild Rose Romance". They are both audacious, taboo breaking pieces, funny, sad, vulgar and frustrating. The energy the poems have is infectious.
"Her Bright Bottom" is somewhat grounded in reality as we meet free spirit Wanda, and get exposed to the various adventures of her life and the incarnations of herself she inhabits. I love lines like:
Wanda stars in Redmond bars, collecting business
partners with detachable hearts and capital
(#18 of "Her Bright Bottom")
...Speaking of old cows,
Walt Whitman grazes the pasture. Posing post-
modern, Walt doesn't give milk, he gives Pepsi
(#1 of "Her Bright Bottom")
Goldner's "A Wild Romance" is more a magic realism, male fantasy poem,
sprinkled with a go-for-broke outrageousness that feels only slightly manufactured.
Harvey dares you to knock the poetry off his shoulder, come on...he dares you:
..."she's insanse" the women whisper, sharpening their kitchen knives.
But the boys line up.
Moon-mad, she and Molly rub flesh and lick and suck
Lips and nipples. They smear cool mud all over each
Other's hot body. Now only their eveyes shine--moonstruck
And later:
......................At Benroya Hall,
her first concert (topless!) stunned the critics; "such heart!
"Such a weaving of traditions! Such exquisite tits! I call
Her a wonder!" wrote one dog.
Well if you don't yet get a sense of what these poems are like, here's #5 of "Her Bright Bottom". If you like it...go out and buy this chapbook. I think if Harvey Goldner winds up being your guilty pleasure that's a good thing. Enjoy.
Where Wanda's blood hits the grass, a small flame
flickers like a candle on a birthday cake or
the tongue of a snake. This light and a strobe of
lunar light copulate, and Lucy appears, not wan
and wispy like a Gothic ghost, but splendid and naked,
a scintillating hologram. She speaks: "you Rang?"
Wanda stutters: "What, what, what happened, Grandma?"
"After a sloppy gig in sleepy Santa Cruz we were
"in my bus (3 AM halfm oon) heading up the coast road.
Your granddaddy, Mud Dog, my drummer, sat at the
wheel, simultaneously blowing his harmonica, rolling
a join and constructing a baloney sandwich. Somehow
"he lost control, crossed the yellow line, and smashed
the guard rail. We fell forever. My Band--dead trashed"

what's up guys how you all doing hey welcome to another maker Monday today sorry it was gonna be so late but today we're gonna be checking out a little bit further in the how to produce videos we will be looking at different video editing software's today so we're gonna be checking out a couple of them two of my favorites is on here one beginner so we'll go ahead and get started again I apologize for this being late I know it's gonna be late when this comes out he's made for a minute got something my eye but it's gonna be a little bit late for this one but that's okay cuz at least it got out so um this Wednesday I'll be releasing another DIY with mi that I think you guys are gonna like but anyway let's go ahead without any further ado and let's get started on this so now continuing on last week we talked about different video cameras and things to use that we'll be using for making pretty good videos like right now I'm using a Logitech camera mm to capture me here it's a USB camera I'll go through some other stuff about a capturing video and maybe a later segment if you like this make sure and fretts that thumbs up button let me know in the comments if you like these videos I'll keep doing I'm gonna keep going and I'll tell you how to do video capture here on the computer alright so anyway enough of that so let's look at the software is one very simple and free software that we're gonna look at here I'm gonna make myself a little bit smaller here there we go that's better so what we're gonna do is we're looking at Microsoft movie maker now those of you that don't know what this is is free from Microsoft moviemaking movie editing software now what I do is I think you have to download the Microsoft essentials pack which is free but I you may have to do that I can't remember if I've done that or not but I think Windows 10 may just come with it so depending what you do here is you get a little preview pane and you get you basically your spot to place your videos so you can hit add videos and photos as basically you do now I've got something already set up we're gonna go to a YouTube channel over in the chair and you select your videos that you're wanting to do you plop those in it slams them in and any old method and you can basically move them cut them split them move them around so like we can do a preview here let's see I think I got my desktop audio on when I turn off my fly so I don't get feedback here but there it is Oh seems like it's not wanting to play the desktop audio give me just a second I'll see if I can fix that okay sorry about that got my audio fixed so now there we go whoo there's the normal intro and then there's all the other pieces so what you can do is you can right-click and choose different things you can split it you can set set points I don't know like this one I need to rotate it so you come up here you say I want to rotate it to the right a couple of times there we go we've rotated it around and then this one's same do rotate it rotating it around so there we go so there's our deal that has different transitions and different things you can have beginnings you can add interesting basically intros and stuff of course I've got my own intro but you can also do transitions I believe that that's in here as well there's different transits I don't know to tell you the truth I haven't used this in years but this is a good way to get started what you do once you've got your video where it is you come up here to file you're gonna say save movie and usually I do for high-definition display or recommended for this project a lot of times will get you very good or you can create I think a custom one so you can do custom settings and put in you know your own settings your height through with your frame rate all that stuff even has some presets here for Android Apple Windows Phone and things like that and it works pretty good you can get do some pretty good stuff with this dig into it and you can find some pretty cool things to do so now my next one that I highly recommend that's on the freeware version is gonna be Kayden live now this one this one right here is a linux-based version you can find it I'll put the link down in the description let me grab the web page right here all right so you can get it from source boards the source forage this one is Caden live on Windows what this is it's a VirtualBox image so those of you don't know about VirtualBox virtual box it's from Oracle it's actually basically like VMware but it's free totally free you download it and it works fine now me I have VMware so I'm running mine in a VMware Workstation but be and so you basically if you're gonna do go that route you have to convert this which there's a converter that you can download that converts it from VirtualBox to the VMware sorry I have to think for a minute I lost my train of thought I saw that I saw that like kids picture and it blew my mind I was like what what is that little girl doing anyway um so once you get it installed basically there's just a deal looks like a film strip right here it's called kdenlive okay and it pops up in here now with VirtualBox you can do this can Trevor how to do it with VirtualBox but with VMware you can link a folder and tell VMware that you want to share a certain folder that's on your PC with the VM and that's what I've done I called it the virtual share but you select your videos that you want to put in you hit open that comes up here in this little kind of project tree space and then you just drag them down here onto the timeline you can preview each one in the preview pane but then if you go up here and move it down you can move it down to your space so let's say we got two of these let's put this one here that one on the end let's say now if you hold down the control key you can zoom in you can zoom in and out and get more detail in less detail thing I like about this software is it shows the audio track like the actual spectrum of the audio track and you can see right here that's my intro that's me turning on the camera and getting things set up or whatever well I don't want all that space all that time so if I can show you this you watch so I don't want all that intro time so what you can do is you can cut that down so I can cut that down real quick and then plug it in and there'll be a nice transition between and then we start okay so and I would do the same thing if I take and shrink this down again I'm holding down the control key and it zooms relative to the time cursor so wherever the time cursor is that's where it's gonna zoom so I would do the same thing with this one I'll take like the tail end of this I'll cut this down and then I'll take this one cut this one down and then put them together okay and so that's kind of how I go about editing now let's say that that audio is way too loud let's say let's come over here this audio on this on this beginning cuz a lot of times it is this is really really loud so if that's way too loud you can right-click on it and choose split audio now it breaks the audio out from the video so you can edit that audio differently you could take and you know choose this audio track configure tracks I believe that you can that's how you can mute it you probably add an effect there we go effect audio correction it's been a while choose game and then you can take the game down you can take it down you know let's take it down to 25% then it'll be real quiet or at least it's quieter so you can play around with the audio and stuff splitting it out and whatnot you can like I said we this one needs to be rotated because it's upside-down the way my camera is all you do is right-click on it well if I can get it to right-click go to add effects I believe then you go to crop and transform and then you just go to rotate rotate now the rotate is kind of weird on this it has an extra 0 like we need to go 180 degrees but if you do 180 degrees and hit go it just kind of puts it caddywhompus there so you have to add another 0 don't ask me why but you do and that flips it all the way over and so you can do that for both of these clips so like this one you would do the same thing effects proper transform and rotate and then 180 1800 and Bob's your uncle so this one is very nice the nice thing about it is when you go to render it in this rendering it actually renders it in the format for you can go let's see by an h.264 which is the preferred render format for YouTube videos so it already has it it's already ready to go I got children coming down so highly okay you're gonna make snow cones all right so what we're gonna do here is once we set that basically everything else is set you're gonna name it you'll name your file whatever and then you'll just hit render to file and this will go ahead and render out your video pretty darn slick and it's free and this does all kinds of stuff you can have the picture and picture if you do the transition you can do a composite where you can basically make what I'm what you're seeing right now you can make two different videos overlay them over the top you can do regions you can do subtract light and hue it'll even do green screen stuff like you can do all kinds of cool stuff professional quality editing with kdenlive so I highly recommend yet okay now last on our list is gonna be the professional great software which is this is what the one that I used for my videos anymore now this is gonna cost you this is the paid stuff it's subscription-based which is kind of a pain but it's obviously Adobe Premiere Pro Premiere Pro will let you do literally anything I mean it's just crazy it comes with all kinds of canned transitions and intros and things like that it does a lot of really cool stuff so what you do to get started on this is again just drag it down to the timeline it imports it and it'll scale and set up the video for whatever you have imported you just bring this stuff down now it always keeps the audio and the video sort of semi separated I guess you could say so same rules here except you hold down the alt button to zoom in and out but it will zoom relative to your cursor okay so wherever your cursor is is where this one zooms okay it doesn't matter about this time deal it's based on the cursor now the cool thing about it is I don't know if you heard that but it actually will play the audio as you drag the cursor around so that's kind of cool let's end same deal you get this little cursor popping up on if you can see that but I can now drag and cut this down I can also change to the cutting tool this little tool looks like a razor blade over that will cut wherever you click you can also shortcut to it I'm pressing the C button if I press C it'll change the cut tool if I press B change this back to my cursor tool and if you need help with that hover over you'll see the tooltip V for the cursor and see for the razor tool or the cut tool so I can do it one of two ways I can cut it and choose it press the Delete key and it's gone and then move them together if I want to so now like this one needs to be rotated so all I have to do in this one is go to my effects and go up here to motion expand that out rotation and this one actually is in degrees under than 80 and there it is there that's rotated now if I want different audio levels this is a cool thing about Premiere Pro if I wanted a different audio level on this versus this one I can move this one down to another audio track to a 2 and then come over here to my audio settings and it's basically just like a stereo mixer I can take a 2 and C like right now the sounds about like that I can crank that way down to quiet and now it's a whole lot quieter and I can just and I can actually play with it live while it's going so I can hit play and I can play with that and make it louder I can make it soft I can you know I can play around with it do whatever I want so that's kind of cool about it you know what I mean so that's pretty spiffy editing and splicing it you have so much stuff to do effects with and whatnot this is a really powerful software I probably only scratched the surface of what it's capable of it also integrates seamlessly with their Creative Cloud which allows you to put together stuff like After Effects so you can do like my intros that's what I've been using for my intros anymore is Adobe After Effects and things like that and putting stuff together and you can create special effects and all kinds of stuff it integrates seamlessly with Premiere Pro because obviously it's all Adobe products kinda like Microsoft Office so guys anyway I hope that that helps you guys hopefully that gives you some insight on some software I hope that you enjoyed this little video and definitely let me know if you like to continue to see this kind of stuff on the channel if you would like some in-depth tutorials on how to use the software or how to use the video cameras and things like that if you want to you want that kind of stuff I don't care this is an electronics channel we cover all electronics that's totally fine with me so if you want to want me to do that I'd say I can do it but let me know in the comments the best way to get the content that you want is to let me know in those comments man because I will give you exactly what you asked for so any case let me know in the comments guys thank you very much for watching the videos check out Wednesday and because that's coming up a DIY with mi it's a new one we haven't had one in a while so I got that coming out as well as Maker Faire is getting closer I'm doing some cool stuff with overclocking and whatnot at one of our museums so I'm a film some of that and throw it up here just because it's fun to see so anyway so we'll do a bunch stuff flat so make sure and like subscribe and share because that really helps the channel when you subscribe make sure and ring that little bell icons that way you don't miss the updates and stuff that I put out I think I sent an update earlier today telling you that this video is gonna be late I like that mechanism that Google has

I'm a bit surprised that openshot wasn't mentioned. It's free and it has a native Windows version now.
Aye I really don't know much about video editing my pc isn't that good so I can't really do much with editing videos but thanks for the heads up once I get something good if I ever need to edit. PS I still laugh that Microsoft calls it Windows "Movie" Maker it's such a basic program 😂

Entrapment (1999)
1 factual error
Directed by: Jon Amiel
Starring: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sean Connery, Ving Rhames, Will Patton
Factual error: The two main characters attempt to cross the bridge of the Petronas Towers hanging from wires holding lights. The view that this shows is wrong. KL Tower is shown in the background, but the bridge cannot be seen from KL Tower. Looking between the Petronas towers from any angle, apart from really high up, above the bridge height, you cannot see KL Tower. (01:30:10)tompicton
Continuity mistake: When she goes through the lasers it takes 2 minutes to get to the mask, but it only takes 30 seconds to get back.
Mac: Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. But practice makes perfect.
Trivia: The street that Sean Connery is parked in waiting for Zeta-Jones to leave the antiques shop, is the same one that Hagrid and Harry walked down in the Philosopher's Stone when they are heading for the Leaky Cauldron.

Two cars A and B are at $100\,\text{m}$ and $200\,\text{m}$ distance from the origin $O$ at time $t = 0$.
They start simultaneously with velocities $10\,\text{m/s}$ and $5\,\text{m/s}$ respectively. A will overtake B at a distance of $x$ from $O$.
The answer given: $300\,\text{m}$.
What I have tried so far: I tried to calculate the relative velocity of car A and then to find out the time and the distance but I got stuck. And each time I try, I go with a different approach, so, really, I haven't a clue even on how to proceed to solve this problem.

Environs = Point 6760 + East Peak + Platinum Peak + Bullion Peak + Crown Point
We've had a good run of gorgeous weather in the last two weekends. Today the plan was to go through a handful of old trips. But instead, I found myself start packing for another outing. Due to the amount of snow I hadn't been able to access many service roads this month. Though yesterday we were lucky enough to find a place with a shorter approach close to Highway 2.
The Lowdown on Bullion Basin
Access: Bullion Basin Trailhead
Round Trip: 7 miles
Elevation Range: 4320′-6760′
Gear: snowshoes
GPS Track: available
The Approach to the Ridge
Our late departure from home ended up taking longer to get to Crystal Mountain Resort. I parked in Lot C, away from the main parking area and in a direct approach to East Peak. I put on snowshoes at the trailhead and then followed a set of old ski tracks into the forest. Without making good use of the ski tracks, the approach on soft snow would not have been as enjoyable.
Skiers tend to make long, drawn-out switchbacks. At times it would have made more sense to go straight uphill on moderate terrain. Today I was happy to stick to the ski tracks as we were at the mercy of the snow conditions. We Skiers avoided avalanche terrain by weaving through the forest most of the time. Mount Rainier was visible once we got above the trees.
Although the tracks were getting farther away from East Peak, I wasn't too terribly concerned. I knew once we got up on the ridge we would move much faster. Eventually, ski tracks brought us onto the north ridge of the unnamed high point (6760) south of Scout Pass. Not sure why this high point didn't have a name since it's higher than East Peak by 100′!
See more trip photos here.
Ridge Traverse to Platinum Peak
I thought we were on East Peak the whole time, but the map had indicated otherwise. After spending an hour soaking in the views including Norse Peak, we began making our way south. The nice thing about this ridge traverse was not having to gain (or lose) much elevation in between high points. We made a brief pause on the actual East Peak before continuing.
Just as I had suspected, there were a ton of ski activities in the two nearby basins to the east. The various ski track patterns strewing the slopes were mesmerizing. Before long, we were on top of Platinum Peak and looking down into the forested Bullion Basin. Perhaps the coolest thing we encountered on this trip was the cross marking this summit. We didn't stay long on this summit before moving on.
See more trip photos here.
Ridge Traverse to Bullion Peak
I had read about Bullion Basin in my snowshoe book years ago but never got around to hiking in it. Back then I thought this area was only accessible during the ski season. Up until now, the rolling ridge traverse accompanied by gorgeous views were quite pleasant. Because of this, the descent onto the saddle between Platinum Peak and Bullion Peak all of a sudden felt steep!
Oddly enough. With all the ski activities in the area, the connecting ridge between the two peaks remained untouched. The 300′ ascent from the saddle up to Bullion Peak on soft snow felt like the longest. Surprisingly it only took us half an hour from peak to peak. Judging by the number of ski and snowshoe tracks on the summit, Bullion Peak was the happening place today!
See more trip photos here.
Quick Travese to Crown Point
After another quick stay on this summit, we began moving toward our last and final destination of the day–Crown Point. The ridge traverse was less than half a mile and it went by in the blink of an eye. Here we got a better look toward Mount Adams and the Goat Rocks Wilderness area. Crystal Mountain and Mount Rainier both looked much closer.
The Outro
On the way back, we reversed the ridge traverse and bypassed Bullion Peak from the west on a packed trail. From the northwest ridge, we made a direct descent into Bullion Basin that looked to have gotten many visitors today. We followed one of the several snowshoe paths down to 5000′, and then left the trail by the switchback. Soon we picked up our up track back in the forest and meandered out the way we came.

2019 BMW X5 M50d Is a 400 HP Diesel Powerhouse
Posted in Auto News
BMW ready a complete fleet of powertrains for the media launch of this all-new X5. We predict the M50d is essentially the most attention-grabbing, partly as a result of it is not provided within the States, as a result of it has as many turbos as wheels.

The collection showcases bold prints and nature-influenced textures that give it the well-deserved title "The Life Within." From its leaf-inspired wallpapers to woven baskets and light fixtures, you'll find yourself basking (no pun intended) in organic glory.

On the Sixteenth Night the Clock Tick
"Milady, here's your evening tea. I'll put it here as usual, okay?"
"T-then I'll return to the gate for now."
"Please...enjoy your tea."
15 years ago, Gensokyo—
"Aaah, what a peaceful day..."
I yawned and stretched my stiff muscle, closing the gate behind me. Another quiet day had passed, one among the countless I had since the big relocation. Cleaning the mansion, making meals for the mistresses, guarding the gate against the invading youkai; I wondered if this dull daily life would continue forever. No, bad Meiling! It's good if it's peaceful! But still...
I sighed and rest my head at the red wall I'd known for centuries, watching the dark night sky and the hidden moon. Tonight is the sixteenth night; the night of Izayoizuki, the 'hesitating moon'. Did its timid glow affect my mood, I wonder? Another sigh escaped my lip and I switched my gaze away from the sky to the huge clock perching on the mansion's highest tower.
The clock stared back at me in silence; its seconds hand had stopped, its two main hands showed no sign of moving. I had noticed the broken mechanism since years ago and I'd also tried fixing it many times before, but whatever I did, the clock kept stuck at 12 o'clock sharp. It was as if our time froze ever since that fated day. And I think, it really did.
The moment we arrived at Gensokyo, everything changed. I didn't know what happened since I was out cold longer than everyone else, but the moment I realised everything, it was all too late. Milady was tricked into signing a hideous pact and forced to locked her sister down in the basement like prisoner. The young mistress was beyond shocked, her endless love transformed into deep hatred that slowly pulling her into madness. Patchouli-sama too, believing the whole incident happened because of her miscalculation, decided to devote herself in maintaining the seal and shut herself in the library.
Even though I was their servant, even though I said I would take share of their burdens, in the end I was powerless. Now their world had crumbled, and the only thing I could do was smile and cheered them from the sidelines, waiting for a miracle. I clenched my fist, feeling ashamed of myself.
"Just what can I do to help them? What can I do to make you move again?"
The silent clock didn't answer. I sighed and hung my head. Of course, it wouldn't answer me.
"Maybe it just need a little kick?"
A kick? Yeah, I can try that—wait. W-what the hell? I quickly raised my head, searching for the voice. Did the clock really answer me? Really? No, wait. It came from a different direction. I twirled around as fast as I raised my face, meeting the owner of that voice; a little girl blanketed in black, floating right in front of me. Judging from the black blob of darkness she emerged from she can't be human; I narrowed my eyes dangerously and put on my battle stance.
"Leave. This place is off-limit."
She tilted her head. Hm, she didn't look dangerous. I lowered my guard a bit, feeling a bit embarrassed for acting like that.
"Uh, sorry about that, little miss. Do you need something?"
"Ummm...no? Nothing in particular? Rumia just fly wherever she want whenever she want~"
Just as she said that she stretched her both arms to her side, a huge toothy grin formed on her face. A wild and carefree one, huh? Good thing she wasn't hostile like the most I found lurking around, blurting foolish things like taking over this mansion, so I didn't need to drive her away. Then again, it's getting more and more peaceful lately. Maybe the lesser youkai started to behave themselves? Oh well, whatever the case, I could really use a company; it's been a while since I really talk to anyone.
Just when I about to relax, I sensed something strange. There was someone else beside us, a human to be precise. But where? I looked around, but I found nothing. Strange. It felt so near. I closed my eyes and tried to pinpoint the location. That way, huh? I followed flow of their chi slowly, reaching for its owner.
"What are you trying to do with my darkness?"
I opened my eyes in an instant, only to find a pair of red orbs lingering a few inches away from my face; Rumia was pouting, floating up-side down between me and a strange blob of darkness. I see. The human is in there.
"A ha ha, I'm just curious. Say, what's in there, Rumia-chan?"
She closed her eyes tightly, as if in deep thought, before opening them again with a huge smile.
"My dinner!"
"Dinner? Is it a human from the village?"
"Rumia-chan, you know you can't eat them, right?"
"Eh? Is that so?"
Just as I expected, she was clueless. I put on a playful smile and raised my index finger.
"Yep, it's the second rule of Gensokyo; Humans living in Gensokyo are not a source of food. If you break that rule a scary gap youkai will come to punish you!"
I put on my scariest face to put on emphasis, and she back away in fear, shivering.
"I-is that so..."
"Yes, that is so."
"But-but... I guess every human left on the nameless hill is an okay to eat..."
The nameless hill? What is that? As if reading my mind, the little youkai continued.
"It's a place where lots and lots of little humans are left by the bigger ones to die in lilies's poison. Many of us eat the leftover corpses, but I like them more fresh. So I take this one alive."
What the heck is that hideous place? I tried to ignore the matter and focused on the current one.
"Uh, well, no. You can't eat them."
"Is that so... T-then, I will get punished?"
Bingo! Here's my chance!
"No, no, that's why Meiling is here to help! Just leave the human here and I'll take care of everything."
"O-okay. Thanks, Meiling!"
With that she floated away and disappeared into the dark wood; the blob of darkness dissipated as she left, revealing a still body of a human child lying on the ground. I inspected the body closer.
It was a small little girl, probably no older than five, her silver hair adorned her pale skin perfectly; for a moment I doubted she was even human, but the faint scars all over her frail body dismissed my suspicion. There was no sign of poisoning so maybe she was only unconscious from shock. Then again, she was tied up with ropes. Maybe they knocked her out before leaving her on the hill and tied her so she couldn't run? I spat in disgust before releasing her bound, letting her head rest on my lap to make her more comfortable.
Wait a minute.
Why did I save her!? Didn't I simply want to have a chat with Rumia? But I drove her away instead. Argh! I held my head in frustration. Maybe I'll use her for milady's dinner. I turned my attention back to the sleeping face on my lap, and quickly dismissed my previous idea. I couldn't, she looked so innocent! Maybe I should return her to the village. But wouldn't they try get rid of her again later? Wait, it didn't even have anything to do with me. But somehow, I just couldn't leave her alone. I hung my head again.
"Boo-hoo... I'm too soft for this, milady..."
As I sniveled to myself, I felt the little girl moved, and slowly, her eyes fluttered open; the calm blue orbs blinked for a few times, before jolting open in shock. I tried to calm her down, but before I could even say anything, she vanished into thin air.
What just happened? I jumped to my feet in an instant, trying to find her; there she was, a good distance away from me, running. I instinctively chased after her.
"Wait, don't run! I won't hurt you!"
She didn't stop and simply looked back at me in horror; at that time I realized a strange disturbance in her chi, and somehow I knew, if I didn't caught her quickly this time, she would vanish again. I gathered my own energy on my feet and kicked off the ground, catching her. I let out the breath I had been holding, feeling the tension dissipated. The little girl grew quiet; I expected her to thrash around, but no. She just stared at me in horror, or rather, at something just beyond me. I blinked and followed her gaze, and once again, my breath was caught in my throat.
"Wha...what is this?"
The wind stopped. The leaves that supposed to fall was floating in mid-air. Nothing was flowing; nothing was moving. Everything but me and her had stopped. The time had stopped. It was a strange sensation, this stagnant feeling, but as soon as I started to adapt to it, everything reverted back. The cry of the nocturne instantly flooded the previous silence and I switched my gaze back to the girl on my grasp; she casted her eyes away, shivering like a child having caught for doing pranks.
I get it now, why she was outcasted, why they were afraid her, and why I couldn't leave her alone. Because she was just like me. Driven out of her home out of fear, I bet she had been called monster for countless times. That's right! Maybe she could stay at the mansion just like me! I should tell the mistress and—
I blinked back to reality, fixing my eyes on the whimpering girl; it seemed like I grabbed her wrist too hard. I quickly release my grip, letting out a small apology, staring at the red mark I left on her wrist. I sighed. No. She's different from me. She's a human; she can't live with us. I approached her slowly and crouched, a small smile on my face.
"Shush, don't be afraid."
I offered my hand, waiting patiently for her to take it. She didn't show any sign of moving, so I changed my tactics.
"Say, that power just now was so cool."
She flinched a bit as she heard that, and I could see her expression changed.
"...really? You're not afraid of me? You won't hit me?"
I nodded and patted her head.
"You should show me again sometimes, but now, let's get you home, okay?"
Finally the girl let out a small 'okay' and took my hand, letting me escort her to the human village.
"Hey, isn't that 'the cursed child'?"
"What, that brat's still alive?"
"My, how scary. Just pretend you didn't see."
"I knew it, she's not human."
"A monster."
"I-I don't know her! Just leave, I'm busy!"
"Oh, okay. But could you at least—"
Another door was slammed shut right in front my face, just like all the others I had knocked before. I sighed for the countless times tonight, glancing at the girl beside me; she looked like she's about to cry, so I tightened my grip on her hand in assurance.
"Don't worry. I'm sure someone will come to get you."
She nodded, holding back her tear. Really, what's wrong with those humans? Just as I was lost in my thought a voice approached me from behind.
"Excuse me, have you seen...ah! Haku-chan!"
Who? I turned around to meet a woman clad in blue, staring at us, or at the little girl to be precise, in shock.
The little girl muttered quietly under her breath, but I could see the joy in her eyes; she quickly released my hand and tackled the newly arrived figure, burying her face on her long dress, crying. The woman patted her head gently in return. After a few moments of comfort, the young woman turned her attention to me, smiling.
"Thank you. I've been looking for her everywhere."
"No, it's fine. I'm glad I could help."
"Ah, by the way, I've never seen you around the village."
I gulped.
"A ha ha, that's... well actually..."
I took a deep breath.
"I'm a youkai."
As I thought, as soon as she heard that the look on her eyes changed, but to my surprise it wasn't hostility, only a simple shock, and right after she darted her eyes around, she took my hand.
"Quick. Follow me."
What a strange human, but I followed her anyway. Soon enough we reached an old temple school, and I took the liberty to sit around the nearby table as she closed all the windows and doors. After a while, she sighed and sat on the opposite of me. The girl was sitting a good distance away from us, so we decided to have a talk; about the little girl, about how the other humans mistreated her, and about her strange power.
"You see, Haku wasn't born in Gensokyo; she was spirited away from the outside world only a few months ago, but she didn't remember anything from her time outside. I gave her a name and a place to live since then. I thought it will be best for her to be here rather than outside, with her unique power and all, but even then I guess it's hard for her to fit in."
"I see. But Keine-san, aren't you...afraid of her too?"
She stared at me for a while before letting out a chuckle.
"No, you see, I'm not normal too. I'm a were-hakutaku, a hanyou. So I guess I can tolerate with her."
Hanyou? She's a half youkai? So that's why I sensed the strange aura around her.
"But unlike me, Haku is a human, and for a human to have such tremendous power is too much of a burden. It was as if her body was born human, but her soul is that of a youkai. Unlike a hanyou like me who can fit in both sides, she is rejected by both."
I felt a painful pang on my chest, and I turned my eyes to the girl on the other end of the room.
"I thought everything will pass, that it's nothing but a simple period of adaption, but lately the villagers' attitude toward her have worsened. I only took my eyes away from her for a moment and horrible things happened. I don't know what to do anymore..."
The half youkai hung her head; I could hear her voice wavered, as if holding the tears of her own. This is wrong. There must be something I can do.
"I'll take care of her."
Wait? What am I saying? I felt like banging my head to the nearby wall for my sudden and foolish outburst. But there's no turning back now, so I gave her a confident smile instead.
"Yes, just leave it to me!"
She clasped my hand on hers, muttering words of gratitude over and over. Keine let go of my hand after a while, calling the little girl over.
"Haku-chan, listen closely. This kind lady here will take care of you from now on, isn't that great?"
The little girl turned her eyes to me and blinked. I gave her an awkward smile.
"Uh, it's okay if you don't want to."
"...no, it's okay."
She snuggled to me and Keine smiled, before excusing herself out of the room. We stayed like that for a while, thinking of the new future that awaited us.
"Well, are you ready, Haku-chan?"
"Let's get going then! First, I will introduce you to the mistress, the proud owner of this Scarlet Devil Mansion. She may looks scary sometimes but she is actually very kind. I'm sure she will be happy to see you."
"Of course she'll be happy! She'll eat her!"
I shouted loudly in my head, standing in front of the door leading to the mistress' room. What is it with me and my running mouth? Once again, if only I didn't bring a tray of food on my hand, I would've banged my head to the wall. I had told Haku to wait in my room just in case, but this is bad. How should I explain the situation to the mistress? Let's see, I'll just tell her 'milady, I just pick up a human child. Please don't eat her, tee-hee~' Right? No. I slapped my face. There's no way it would work! Aaah, maybe I should just raise her in secret? Well, milady wouldn't come out of her room anymore anyway. Yeah, maybe that's better. I took a deep breath, calming myself, and after I was ready, I knocked the door in front of me.
"Milady, I brought you your dinner."
No response. I opened the door to find my one and only employer in the same position as I just left her earlier, curled up on her bed, her tea that I brought her before had turned cold and left untouched. Seeing her like that was enough to make me forget my previous outburst; I approached her and put the tray away on the end table, opening it to reveal her dinner of potatoes mashed with some meat and blood. I helped her up to a sitting position.
"Okay, now open wide."
I took the spoon and scooped a little bit of her food, putting it in her mouth, and she swallowed it slowly. Ever since she signed that pact, Lady Remilia wouldn't respond to anything anymore, let alone leaving her room. It was as if she had died back then, leaving nothing but a hollow shell; her bright scarlet eyes that used to hold so many wonders had now grown dull. Yet, I put on a smile to her, continuing my playful charade.
"Today was peaceful just like yesterday, nobody tried to invade the mansion. It's getting a little boring though. Oh and please drink your tea later, I've put your favorite blood type inside."
And that's how it went every day; I would tell her of the daily occurrences while feeding her, hoping that some day she would laugh again like she used too. Oh well, I guess I failed again today. Just as I thought of that, the only door on the room creaked open, showing the figure I had almost forgotten.
"...Meiling-san...toilet...where is it?"
"Wah, Haku!?"
The little human girl stood there on the door, an innocent look on her face. I could swear my heart felt just like leaping out of my mouth when I saw her; I quickly turned my face to the mistress, my hands flailing all over to distract her.
"No, no, milady! She's—there's an explanation to this! You see, I—"
It's no use, she had seen the girl. I could only stare as her red eyes turned into slit, showing her vampiric heritage, but instead of sinking her fangs on her supposed prey, I heard a voice escaped from her mouth for the first time in this 85 years.
"So you've returned."
Her voice echoed around the small room, as mesmerizing as I had always remembered, and it rendered me frozen; I saw Haku did the same from the corner of my eyes. I watched silently as she climbed down the bed, walking slowly toward the speechless girl on the door, stopping only a few feet away from her.
"Welcome back, Sakuya."
Sakuya? What is she talking about? But before I could ask her, she suddenly collapsed; I quickly rushed on my feet and caught her before she hit the ground, still hardly believing the miracle in front of me. The mistress, she's back. She's really back! I couldn't help but laughed softly.
"Why are you laughing, gate guard? Ugh, I don't feel well..."
"That's because you haven't been moving and eating well this past 85 years, milady."
"85 years?"
She look dumbfounded, switching her gaze from me back to the little girl, before sighing.
"I see. That much time has passed."
The mistress snapped her fingers and I brought her back to her bed, standing guard beside her; I noticed her eyes was still fixed on the one and only human in the room, watching her intently. Did she just sleep talk when she spoke to the girl before? I concluded that way and decided to introduce the little girl properly.
"Milady, let me introduce the newest maid in the house, Haku—"
Eh? I turned to the source of the voice that was Haku, and she repeated it in a much clear voice.
"My name...is Sakuya."
The mistress laughed as soon as she heard that, and I stared, mouth agape.
"Perfect. And Meiling, stop putting that silly face. What night is it tonight?"
I clamped my mouth back shut.
"Umm, the sixteenth night?"
"Very well."
My diabolic master raised her finger, a mischievous smile on her face, pointing at the little girl proudly.
"From now on, your name is Izayoi Sakuya. Treasure that name well, human, and wear it proudly, because from now on you will be my servant."
'Sakuya' replied her in a perfect pace, bowing in grace.
"Understood, milady."
"Wonderful. Now make me a new tea. And Meiling, get back to the gate."
Suddenly I felt like I was the only one at a loss, watching the two figures talking in perfect coordination as if they had known each other for long; I left the room still in confusion, tailing after the little girl and closing the door behind me. I took the moment to talk to her.
"Haku—I mean, Sakuya-chan. You've known the mistress?"
"...n-no. My body just moved by its own. I've never met her before, and yet something tell me...that I'm finally home..."
I stared at her in silence, and out of the blue, tears fell down her eyes.
"Huh? I? Why am I crying?"
I smiled and ruffled her hair, cheering her up.
"Maybe because you're happy?"
Then, she smiled.
So many things happened at the same times that I could hardly register everything, but at least I knew that the mistress was well now, and Sakuya would be living with us from now on. I bet she would become a great maid. I chuckled to myself and took the girl's hand.
"Come on, I'll show you the kitchen. Milady just told you to make her tea, right? Just to let you know, she doesn't like waiting, so we better be hurry!"
"O-okay! I'll do my best!"
I grinned, and as we ran down the mansion corridor in zeal, hand in hand, I heard the clock started to tick back alive.

Behind the Partnerships: Eric Haggard of Merix
Photos and Story by James Hill
By James HillEric Haggard is the human resources manager of organizational development and training for Merix Corp., a circuit board manufacturer in Forest Grove, and a partner in the PCC Entry-Level High-Tech Skills Training program. The program welcomes students who may not have considered college, have limited English proficiency, outdated skills, or minimum-wage job experience.Students are screened by PCC's Capital Career Center in Washington County and then interviewed by a panel made up of future employers. If accepted, students enter a six-week, 140-hour, self-paced training that focuses on basic skills. Students also tour companies in the consortium and can elect a preference for a certain company. So far, Merix and PCC have recruited Matsushita Electronic Materials, Viasystems Group, Inc., and Cascade Microtech, Inc. to participate in the consortium.The two-year funding comes from several sources, including Merix, county strategic investment funds, in-kind funds from PCC and Worksystems, Inc., and state economic development funds. After that, it will become self-sustaining through the participating employers. Twenty-one students have completed the training so far this year. Haggard is a Cincinnati, Ohio native and a former basketball player for Western Nebraska University. He earned a bachelor's degree from Concordia College and a master's from Marylhurst University. His hobbies include chess, dominoes and most board games. He also spends his free time writing plays and crafting book ideas. He is married with two children. Q: How have you liked the move from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest?A: I have loved the transition. The weather is better, the people are friendlier and relationship oriented. The farther East you go the more competitive by nature people are. I kind of have that in me, very performance driven. But I've grown in the relationship area.Q: How did Merix and PCC get together for this endeavor?A: In February of 2002, Merix approached PCC about creating a pre-employment program. This was emulating a program that was developed for Harley-Davidson in 1997. It's designed to provide skills to individuals through a structured training program that includes business-directed curriculum. The employee can then come into our company and hit the ground running or learn at a faster rate than if they hadn't been trained at all.Q: How does this make these students viable for employment at Merix?A: Without the training, some of them might not have strong enough skills to stand out in a group of job candidates. To complete the training speaks to their commitment, integrity and diligence, all aspects that make them very attractive to us as future employees.Q: What kind of jobs do the students get to apply for once they've completed training?A: They come to the facility in an entry-level position and it's a smooth fit and a seamless transition. We train people on the technical aspects of the job. When they come here, they are the complete package. They would work various types of quality assembly type positions.Q: How has PCC been in this partnership?A: Really, PCC has been absolutely tremendous in their effort to coordinate all of this work on limited funding. It's been an awesome grass roots effort of getting people into the classrooms and coordinating what needs to be done. The curriculum development and content was a collaborative effort. In the development, PCC met with employers on content and the level of skill we were seeking.Q: What is the most important aspect of this consortium for Merix?A: The major component for Merix is the long-term viability. We have a significant number of baby-boomer employees and as they approach retirement, they will create a void that will be difficult for Merix to fill. We are at a disadvantage because we are at the edge of western Washington County and have a limited number of people to draw upon.Q: How will the program continue funding-wise?A: The program is designed to be self-sustained. The companies pay a fee each time they select a recruit and the payments help to add more future classes. It costs three times more to train from within than through PCC. The savings to the company is dramatic. It's a win-win situation because it's a self-sustaining program that will help lots of people.

Dendoncker has played just five times since his summer move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Leander Dendoncker has wasted little time impressing the Wolverhampton Wanderers fanbase.
The highly-rated Belgian arrived at Molineux on loan from Anderlecht at the start of the season, with a £12 million permanent deal reportedly in the pipeline this summer.
But Dendoncker's new manager wasn't so easily bowled over, using him on just four occasions prior to Monday's FA Cup win against Liverpool - and only once as a Premier League starter.
It was reported this month that the 23-year-old may even move again in January (Voetbal International), although many of a Wolves persuasion will be hoping that is not the case now.
This is what they're saying on Twitter...
A lot of credit to Leander Dendoncker. Thought he was magnificent tonight - composed in possession, energetic without and linked the play well.— Charlie (@CharIieGreg) 7 January 2019
His last three Wolves appearances:
2-1 v Chelsea
3-1 v Spurs
2-1 v Liverpool
Not a bad start in #wwfc colours.
Unreal performance by Dendoncker, he dominated the midfield on his own against a high pressing Liverpool. I've rarely seen a display like this in football.— lol (@Hazpillian) 7 January 2019
Dendoncker becoming my favourite player. #wwfc— Stuart Polak (@stu_polak82) 7 January 2019
Liked what I saw from Dendoncker. Nothing special but did the simple/basic things well. Allows Neves to play. Just needs more game time— AL. (@_ahxle) 8 January 2019
12m for dendoncker is a steal— Ryan ley (@ryanwwfc91) 7 January 2019
Dendoncker is some player #WWFC— Bobby (@BobbyVenables) 7 January 2019
One last point of tonight. Thought Dendoncker had a superb game. He really does look a class act. He strolled around that pitch like a Rolls Royce of a player. And hes only 21. Defo needs to be starting more #WWFC #WOL #Wolves #wolvesaywe— MATTyG (@GallimoreMatt) 7 January 2019
Dendoncker superb tonight, should be seeing more of him second half of the season. #WWFC— Nick (@nwall89) 7 January 2019
Someone tell me what more dendoncker has to do to become a regular starter he was class— (@Calwolves91) 7 January 2019
I have to question Nuno as to why he hasn't fancied Dendoncker throughout this season? Thought he did well against Spurs and looked good again tonight.— Unofficial Wolves (@Wolfman_1877) 7 January 2019
If we get rid of Dendoncker, or don't sign him, I'm going to kill my self @Nuno x— sam (@SMillward98) 8 January 2019
Dendoncker played the full 90 minutes as Wolves shocked the Premier League leaders, Liverpool, at Molineux.
Raul Jimenez gave the hosts a half-time lead, before Ruben Neves sealed his side's progression to the FA Cup fourth round shortly after Divock Origi's equaliser.
Wolves' reward is a short trip to either Stoke City or Shrewsbury Town in less than three weeks' time.
Could Dendoncker leave Molineux this month?
Have something to tell us about this article?

If you're in the market to buy a grill, yet you've only grilled with propane or charcoal in the past, wood pellet grills may have piqued your curiosity. These grills use a very different cooking method than the direct flame of propane, resulting in more even heating and more precise temperature control. A wood pellet grill is more like a smoker than an open flame grill, as it's difficult to sear meat with a wood pellet grill. Purchasing and using a wood pellet grill is going to be more expensive than propane and charcoal grills.
Pellet grills come in many different sizes with a variety of features. To take the top spot among pellet grills, the Camp Chef SmokePro DLX Grill offers the best combination of grilling space, heat control, and easy-to-achieve flavors that will create tasty meats time and time again. The grill makes cooking with pellets quick, easy, and enjoyable no matter how much skill you have on the grate.

We studied the time interval between starting tuberculosis treatment and commencing antiretroviral treatment (ART) in HIV-infected patients (n=1433; median CD4 count 71 cells/?L, IQR,32-132) attending three South African township ART services between 2002-2008. The overall median delay was 2.66 months (IQR,1.58-4.17). In adjusted analyses, delays varied between treatment sites but were shorter for patients with lower CD4 counts and those treated in more recent calendar years. During the most recent period (2007-2008), 4.7%, 19.7% and 51.1% of patients started ART within 2, 4 and 8 weeks of TB treatment, respectively. Operational barriers must be tackled to permit further acceleration of ART initiation as recommended by 2010 WHO ART guidelines.

Bloomberg cites info in Crypto Fund Research that suggests that 125 brand new crypto venture capital -- that typically offer funding in exchange for an equity stake -- established in 2018, when compared with 115 fresh investment-oriented crypto hedge funds.
In 2017, compared, brand new hedge funds interrupting venture capital by 47: 136 hedge funds compared to 85 venture capital.
Bloomberg interviewed several business statistics who blamed the change to the weakness at the first coin supplying (ICO) marketplace -- that was struck a year by both miserable cryptocurrency prices along with also a regulatory crackdown whose greatest consequences stay to be viewed.
"There is likely to be a good deal of opportunity in desperate buying as well as activist investing. Frequently you may purchase below the money value of the business."
Kyle Samani, managing partner at Multicoin Capital Management at Austin, Texas -- that has chased both a partnership plan in Addition to making nominal investments -- noticed that:
"Funds have quietly shifted from hedge funds into enterprise capital because their liquid portfolios whined in value, making a quite large proportion of AUM [funds under control ] illiquid."
Another component of this changing tide is that the allegedly increasing prevalence of SAFTs (Straightforward Agreements for Future Tokens), that allow capital to purchase yet-to-be-issued tokens at lower prices of around 80 percent.
Pantera Capital Management's Paul Veradittakit told Bloomberg the Pantera's very own ICO investment finance"is becoming far more like partnership," and SAFTs in especially are a"de-risk[ing plan which is] very very beneficial."
Bloomberg cites data in the Eurekahedge Crypto-Currency Hedge Fund Index, which quotes crypto hedge funds' declines annually to have been around 70 percent normally.
Last autumn, a report by each crypto news outlet Diar disclosed that conventional venture capital investment from blockchain along with crypto companies had nearly tripled from the first few quarters of 2018.

This morning we all completed our first writing sample for 2013. I have posted it just as I wrote it in the 40 minutes that we were given, so that throughout this year I will be able to look back and reflect back on the progress that I have made in my Writing. I will post my learning goals from this soon
"Yeppy, were going to granny's house today!" little Amy said as mum was trying to get her ready. Amy always loved going to visit granny especially on special occasions because granny gives her yummy treats! But Amy's older sister Sophie didn't like to visit granny's house because the animals were too noisy and see could sleep!
"Come on girls, lets go!" mum said as she was heading out the door. Amy rushed down the stairs and into the car while on the other hand, Sophie was still getting ready and 20 minutes later she came down and hopped in the car with a frown on her face! A little while later they arrived at grans house and settled into their rooms.
Amy ran to see granny and gave her a big hug and a sloppy kiss, "I am so glad to see you granny!" she said while she was sitting in granny lap. Granny was as glad as she was and the sun was shining beautiful so they both went out to play and spend more time with each other. Sophie stayed up in her room and listened to music on her laptop.
As the sun was starting to fade away ,granny had to go and check on her animals down on the farm and as she counted all of her cows, 2 of them were missing! So she thought that they would come back the next day. The next morning, she went to go and check on the cows again, and now 4 of her cows were missing! They weren't only running away, they were disappearing!
They went to town and put fliers all over and asked people if they have seen they but even ones answer was "NO!". This was very bad but then she remembered her neighbor Dalice, was very jealous of her because she had won more trophies than she did in the farmers comp. It all started when granny won her first farmer comp and Dalice had never lost in that comp until granny came and took all the glory away from her.
So granny went over Dalice's house and asked if she had seen her 4 missing cow and she answered with a big fat NO! Then granny could hear some cows out on her field and went to go and check. She counted all of Dalice's cows and she had 4 more that she had before! "Dalice, I know you're angry at me and I don't blame you for it but did you steal my 4 missing cows?"
Dalice started to bust out in tears and said "I miss win that competition because thats when everybody knew me and now nobody knows me and when they see you, they know exactly who you are!". But granny said " Well, there is one person who knows you very well, ME!" So granny got her 4 cows back and granny and Dalice are very close friends now!

Eye height
To be able to see what your toddler sees when he walks through the supermarket, you should move through the supermarket at eye-level of your child. In other words, crawling. What you see is a variety of sweets, cakes and drinks. In all kinds of variations, decorated with pictures of famous figures like Dora, Piet Piraat and SpongeBob (just say 'no' to that!).
The bottom shelves are full of appealing products, which unfortunately are almost always unhealthy and full of 'empty calories'. In other words, they contain few nutrients or too many of the wrong substances (e-numbers).
Good example makes you follow it well
Remarkably enough, it is only recently that parents and educators have been seen as an important factor in promoting a healthy lifestyle in children, and are also being approached as such in national campaigns and health projects. Education (and that is also saying no!) plays a crucial role in this.
In order to educate your child in the field of nutrition, you also need knowledge about the importance of healthy nutrition and exercise and the effects of unhealthy nutrition.
Only if you, as an educator, know what you eat and what healthy alternatives there are for the choices you make (often out of habit), can you as a family work on a healthier lifestyle.
Guided tours of the supermarket (crawling or not)
Guided tours of the supermarket are on the rise. During a guided tour you will be informed about the meaning of ingredient declarations and the meaning of food labels. But also marketing techniques of food producers are discussed. Recently there was even a study that proved that by reading food labels, healthier choices are made.
Crawling through the supermarket; it would be a fun way to draw attention to the importance and usefulness of guided tours of the supermarket. After all, you experience what your child experiences. And you will experience better what temptations your child is being served.
Do you prefer not to crawl through the supermarket, but do you want to experience daily reality through your child's eyes? Then take a look at the video from the Nutrition Centre about the amount of food and drink a 3-year-old child is confronted with on an ordinary day. Watch the video or crawl along the shelves yourself, give me your reaction and opinion.
"I use vitamin C 3x daily, vitamin E, vitamin B12, vitamin D, B-complex, a multivitamin, fish oil capsules, melatonin, chlorella, coenzyme Q10, Floradix, garlic extract and of course a probiotic.
The client in front of me shook it out of her sleeve without any effort. '
Right. "Ma'am, can you repeat that?
The whole song followed quickly again and this time it was supplemented with macaque powder, goji berries and Echinae in case of a cold.
Well, that's quite a list. Do you use it on someone's advice?
The woman gave a negative answer. No, she had found out all by herself. Yes, a few were on the advice of a friend, and perhaps a few on the advice of her osteopath. Oh yes, and the Q10 on the advice of the drugstore.
Good. And can you explain how you got there…?'.
Via, via, via, we're taking more and more pills. Why?
Is this lady the rule or the exception at my surgery? Certainly not the latter, that is not the first thing I would like to say. However, in my opinion – and this is also reflected in the sales figures – people are starting to use more and more food supplements. Sometimes on the advice of a counsellor and regularly on the advice of a saleswoman or under the influence of advertising. Many times more often on the advice of an acquaintance of an acquaintance and a vague friend of whom it had helped so much to get rid of her low back pain and at the same time her fear of heights.
Why do we prefer to listen to a vague acquaintance and not to a doctor?
The question is whether the use of dietary supplements is good or bad. And you will agree with me that there is no 'yes' or 'no' to that. Whether something is good for someone depends on many, many factors. Does anyone work out above average? Has anyone been ill or has anyone been ill? Does someone have a reduced resistance? Does someone have specific complaints? Does someone have a certain shortage of something? In many cases the first step is to consult a doctor instead of a girlfriend or drugstore, but that is by the way.
Food supplements, isn't the drug worse than the ailment?
Personally, I have strong doubts about the extent to which – sometimes extremely high doses – of food supplements are used and the ease with which they can be sold. Isn't it true that the body itself is capable of much more than we think? Do we have to fight every bacterium, every sniff, every cough and every muscle ache? Would that make us live longer? Are we less likely to become ill? Or should we look straight in the mirror and seriously ask ourselves whether the remedy is not worse than the ailment? After all, certain triggers and stimuli make our body stronger. And now we are going to fight all these stimuli artificially. Yes, because we really can't use a cold.
Enriching nutrition
I agree to some extent with those who claim that our food no longer contains the nutrients it contained 50 years ago, and that therefore we may need to supplement certain nutrients in the form of supplements. At the same time, I believe that good seasonal and well-sourced products still contain a lot of nutrients. It is not for nothing that food is available, and the usefulness and safety of many of the food supplements that are sold with little or no justification can therefore be questioned.
Wanting to be too (easily) healthy is counterproductive.
Recent studies show that, for example, large amounts of antioxidants (such as vitamins C, E and other substances) administered in artificial form harm rather than benefit the immune system function. The form in which these nutrients should actually come to us (vegetables, fruit, etc) does not have that effect. In my opinion it is a) wiser and b) much cheaper to first go back to basics and eat good food, good products and then consult a real expert when it comes to supplement use. Wanting to be too healthy is probably counterproductive.

Highland real estate guide & listings for sale
The character of Highland is exemplified by its relaxed environment. It is easy to get to green spaces in the neighbourhood since there are approximately 10 of them close by for residents to explore. This part of London is also reasonably quiet, as there are generally low levels of noise from traffic.
Highland will attract physically active people since it is conducive to those who travel by foot; many daily errands can be run without needing to use a car. This neighbourhood is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, residents have access to a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is typically very close. On the other hand, this area is a fairly convenient part of London for getting around by car. It is easy to come across a parking spot.
In Highland, around 45% of dwellings are single detached homes, and the rest of the properties are mainly large apartment buildings and townhouses. This part of the city offers mainly two bedroom and three bedroom homes. About 60% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home while the rest are renters. This part of London did not experience a single construction boom; the construction of new dwellings in Highland was spread throughout multiple decades in the twentieth and twenty-first century.
Primary schools are easy to reach on foot from most homes for sale in Highland. However, this area does not contain any high schools. When it comes to eating, the nearest grocery store in this area is usually only a rather short walk away. Additionally, a restaurant is commonly just around the corner, and a small number of cafes can be found as well.
