Clive Berkman, Cooking with Clive
Clive's life is like a sumptuous multi-course meal. Along the way he has combined and blended experiences, lessons, disappointments, challenges, triumphs, and joy to create a feast for the senses and the soul. And now he invites you to join him at the table.
In his career as a world class chef and restaurateur, Clive has learned much more than how to prepare mouthwatering meals. He has discovered the power of food to bring people together and create memories that linger long after the table is cleared. Clive calls these "empty bottle moments" and knows that empty bottles tell the best stories. Full bottles speak of possibilities, but empty bottles remind us of the warm and wonderful times we have shared together.
Clive was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and from a very early age was fascinated with the tastes and aromas of his mother's kitchen. It's also where he began to discover his fondness for the best of flavors. As a six year old, he was hanging out in the kitchen one afternoon as his mom prepared for a dinner party. When she left the room for a moment, Clive discovered a jar of Beluga caviar, took a taste, and loved it so much he ate the whole thing! The rest is culinary history...
Clive now spends his time as a speaker, author, consultant, spice engineer and as a Creator of Empty Bottle Moments.

I had the biddable destiny to hear Branch Rickey answer and he was in his 80's. I listened on next to a lot of otherwise coaches and scouts. I listened to Branch Rickey conversation about, "What it Takes To Become a Major League Baseball Player."
He said, "A guy has got to be able to do iv things:
1) Throw.Post ads:

He has to be able to do two of these things extraordinarily recovered to cavort in the big association."
He went on and said, "If he can do all four and hit with power, he is going to be a super prima."
Well, you have listened to all of these debate about hitting, pitching and fielding, but we essential call to mind that Branch Rickey referred to one of the four as throwing.
I have had the goodish chance to drift all nigh on the rustic and timekeeper kids all the way from paid to Little League and one entity that I have observed is that throwing is existence ignored in a lot of areas. Because, you see, no one teaches a kid to heave. We swot up to heave big-hearted of the aforementioned way we academic to run. Remember how we bookish to run? We smarted off to the big guys, they hunted person us. We ran.
In throwing, we honourable picked up the orb and started throwing. No one told us how to put the hands, you know, cardinal o'clock, one o'clock, no one told us that. We only just took the globe and started throwing but it is deeply measurable that we heave accurately.
I concord next to Bear Bryant. He said, "All competition teams start on defending team." I judge that.
I suppose that throwing is a hugely strategic part of team.
If thing has to be taught, location is a power-driven lateral and a psychological sideways to throwing. It is something that has to be skilled and it is thing that I cognizance is individual ignored a half-size bit and can be reinforced.
So, I am active to defy all of you to add different drawing to the umteen charts you simply hold in that ditch.
I guess you should hang on to a atlas on how oodles modern world a let fly amount you a remains. You can create different trivial mark wherever it amount you two bases. Then at the end of ten games or 15 games or a season you can appraise those charts and past you can brand name the judgment as to whether you inevitability to manual labour a minor harder on guideline prim throwing natural philosophy.
You see, active final to Bear Bryant's demand that all championship teams instigate on defending team. The key to playing righteous defensive baseball as you all know, is to pass the time away from the big play.
You can't do that if the catcher throws insufficiently and allows the guy to finance. If an fielder throws the orb away at basic base, if an outfielder throws unsatisfactorily to the cutoff man or throws to the mistaken basal. So, throwing is a very of value subdivision of doing that one ordinary item of abidance the identical twin pirouette in command.

The bomber who carried out the attack on the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England had input and encouragement from a U.S.-based ISIS recruiter, Newsweek reported.
The attack, which targeted concert-goers as they left the arena, killed 22 people in August 2016.
Said Azzam Mohamad Rahim, a 40-year-old American national of Jordanian descent from Dallas, was part of an online chat with the bomber, Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old British national of Libyan descent, who was seeking authorization to carry out the bombing.
During the chat, which was held on the encrypted messaging app Zello, Abedi addressed a question to a sheikh in the group (later identified as Mouner el-Aoual, 28, an ISIS jihadi in Turin, Italy).
"Sheikh, I live in Manchester, in Great Britain. I live among non-Muslims. I have found work with them. Am I allowed to kill them? Is it permitted to kill them with a bomb?" Abedi asked.
Rahim responded, "To the boy from Manchester I say, OK, kill them! Show no mercy to civilians."
El-Aoual agreed, saying, Abedi should "fight the pagans all together."
Rahim was arrested in the U.S. last March for making false statements to federal officers about his alleged support of ISIS.
El-Aoual was later arrested by Italian police on suspicion of extremist activities.

LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) - The personal computer-dominated world is changing.
No longer will the PC be the only means of computing or accessing the Internet, but it will have to share the limelight with handheld devices, Internet appliances, cell and Web phones, among others.
The weakening of the PC's pre-eminence is underscored by the troubles lately of the dominant personal computer makers such as Compaq CPQ Gateway GTW Dell DELL, +0.91% and Apple AAPL, +0.64%
"The high-growth days are behind us."
While Dell and Compaq performed well on Tuesday, with the former helped by a kind word from Merrill Lynch analyst Steve Fortuna, the fundamentals of the industry itself point to slower growth.
Fortuna, who reiterated a "buy" rating on Dell, nevertheless called the PC industry a "no-demand environment."
CBS.MarketWatch.com spoke with Alan Davis, senior equity analyst at the Red Chip Review, about his outlook. Red Chip Review is an investment research firm specializing in small caps.
CBSMW: What's your outlook for personal computers?
DAVIS: Depending on whom you talk to, it would be the "PC plus" era or "extended PC plus" era, not the post-PC era. Personal computers will still play a role; it will be kind of a hub for the home or office. The PC will be an important part of that whole next transition over the next five to 10 years, but it won't be the only one.
Others would argue, at least from a corporate perspective, that you don't need the PC but just central servers and wireless LAN to connect, using broadband. Maybe we'll switch back to centralized computing. Certainly, that's what corporations are seeking.
But the industry has to deal with several issues. One is security - what happens if you lose a device. They also need to be able to administer these devices more easily. (Another factor is waiting for when) broadband wireless starts getting cost-effective enough.
There are those issues but they're getting worked through.
CBSMW: How would you assess PC industry growth?
DAVIS: I wouldn't say it's no growth. But I definitely think the high-growth days are behind us. That's fairly obvious. I think it's shifting down to low growth.
CBSMW: What caused the slowing growth?
DAVIS: It's a couple of different things. A, you've reached the saturation point, at least in the consumer sector.
The second is upgrades. With what people need to do with what's available, having a little bit faster microprocessor is not going to make much of difference. Whereas in the 1990's, the speed of the processor made a big difference. Now it doesn't. They have enough power as they need it.
CBSMW: Where are the growth opportunities in the PC plus era?
DAVIS: The growth opportunities will be in the software arena that's going to work in processing the data that comes through broadband. Broadband will start to proliferate more. On the hardware side, there are the handhelds, portable devices and Web appliances.
CBSMW: Internet appliances don't seem to be catching on.
DAVIS: (A company such as) Netpliance NPLI ..is selling pretty simple appliances with Web access. They charge $30 a month and all you have is Web access. That's fine. But they were trying to sell to people without PCs. That's a tough crowd to sell to. They haven't bought PCs for a reason. Those people who would buy it aren't the target market. Those kind of people want to do everything with technology.
Right now you're seeing tons of different (Net appliance) designs being thrown at consumers. But eventually, Web appliances will (work). For example, Web phones would be cheaper for long distance. It would have other functions such as limited Web access.
Web tablets also kind of make sense. They've got a bay station like a cordless phone. You can carry the tablet around the home, sit on your couch and surf the web.
The thing that will push (this sector) is broadband wireless. The standard is already being set with Bluetooth short distance wireless.
CBSMW: Where would the PC fit in?
DAVIS: In the home, will the TV become the real Internet device and will the PC be relegated just for running your regular Excel and Word and other applications? Probably a little bit of both.
TV could be pushed for entertainment. The PC itself is kind of leaning toward finances, research or homework.
CBSMW: In the other words, the PC won't be the only appliance for Web surfing?
DAVIS: Yes. There will be different ways to access the Internet. Depending on the time of day, you'll access it with different devices. But that's a few years off.
CBSMW: Who are your favorites in the sector?
DAVIS: Bsquare. BSQR, +1.42% They help the chip guys and device guys integrate their stuff with Microsoft's MSFT, -0.52% next generation operating system. Bsquare is by far the biggest kid on the block. The stock price (hit a high) over a year ago but has drizzled down since. The company gets money for engineering services and royalty revenue from design wins. We like them a lot.
Wind River WIND, +0.64% is one to keep your eye on. They will be a more significant player as we go forward. They're in embedded computing. They have just built up market share and mind share; they're the industry leader.
CBSMW: Which sector will see the most growth in the PC plus era?
DAVIS: Industrial automation (automating factories). It's not getting a lot of press but it's received a lot of design wins and it's a pretty big part of the industry...Data collection terminals is a subset of industrial automation. It's an area of high growth because of the cost savings and efficiency (it could provide manufacturers). It's not as sexy as the Web phone but it's got a lot of growth potential.

The State Indian Museum, opened in 1940, depicts three major themes of California Indian life: Nature, Spirit, and Family. Native peoples lived prosperously for thousands of years in what it now California. All of the exhibits and photographs on display in the museum are presented with respect for those who went before us on this land and continue to live in California communities today.
California Indian cultural items in the museum include traditional baskets, along with some of the smallest in the world, a redwood dugout canoe, ceremonial regalia, beadwork, and hunting & fishing tools—some of which are more than twenty-four hundred years old. There is also an exhibit depicting the life of Ishi, reputedly the last survivor of the Yahi tribe, illustrating how Native culture was powerfully impacted and forever changed when outsiders arrived.
Many Native people have donated photographs of family and friends for viewing in the museum. There is also a wall of photographs devoted to honoring California Elders, and a hands-on area where visitors have the opportunity to utilize Indian tools like the pump drill, used for making holes in shell beads, and the mortar & pestle, used for grinding acorns.

2701 L Street
Sacramento, CA 95816
(916) 445-4422
Sutter's Fort was built by Swiss immigrant John Sutter more than 150 years ago in Sacramento. with walls that were 2 1/2 feet thick and 15 to 18 feet high — and developed what he considered to be the real wealth of California — crops such as grapes and wheat, along with vast herds of cattle. Aligning himself with the Mexican authorities, at one point, with his various land grants, Sutter owned more than 150,000 acres of the Central Valley, and was a generous host to such colorful and historically important characters as John C. Fremont and Kit Carson.
Today, the Fort is furnished and reconstructed to reflect its 1846 appearance. Many activities and programs recreate the past thanks to the volunteers who give their time to share their love of California History.

The project involves the construction of City Campus (Phase 1), which consists of a 3-6 storey institutional block to accommodate 4,000 students that includes academic facilities such as labs, lecture halls, library and classrooms. Retail and F&B spaces are located in the commercial block on the promenade level; there is also a single level sub-basement car park.
The campus is situated on a greenfield site that stretches 250 meters around a bay overlooking the Putrajaya waterfront. Taking into account the site and its context, and with an aim towards reducing impact on the environment, the architects decided to adopt the strategy of 'peeling' the earth up and creating an earth berm where the campus settlement could appear as human-scale buildings plugged into the earth.
The site requires maximum plinth area of 60 percent and 40 percent minimum open space. The 'peeling of the earth' is a gestural feature reinforcing the concept of the green continuum. This results in a 200-metre long roof totaling up to 10,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 60 percent of the site area. The green roof acts as an insulator and helps to absorb solar radiation from the sun, which is an efficient way of reducing RTTV.
In all, the City Campus comprises up to 80 percent of open spaces, covered by a combination of hard landscape and planting. This helps to lower the heat island effect and enables the campus to integrate into the landscape and surrounding urban fabric.
The long waterfront facade faces north, which is the best orientation with respect to minimizing solar impact, optimizing diffused daylighting and maximizing exposure to the breeze coming from the lake. Vertical external louvres are used for maximum shading of the low-angled morning sun from May to August towards the north, and from November to March towards the south.
The building is designed in the form of smaller blocks with gaps in between them, which resemble 'fingers', to promote natural ventilation. These allow the frequent breeze from the lake to cross ventilate the building. Also, the gap between the building and roof is closed to force air movement through the building and basement car park which results in a heavy reliance on natural ventilation and improved thermal comfort.
Rainwater harvesting will be employed for landscape irrigation. Water-efficient fittings and a metering and leak detection system will also be installed.
The project aims to get a GBI rating.

ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This final rule amends the NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) to: include additional circumstances when NASA field installations are required to identify certain acquisitions through the Master Buy Plan (MBP) process; add NASA's policy regarding the use of the structured approach for developing profit or fee when contracting with non-profit organizations which was mistakenly removed; and make editorial corrections and miscellaneous changes dealing with NASA internal and administrative matters. EFFECTIVE DATE: July 21, 2000. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bruce King, NASA Headquarters Office of Procurement, Program Operations Division (Code HS), Washington, DC 20546, (202) 358-0461, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background Current Master Buy Plan (MBP) submission guidance does not address high value acquisitions from or through other government agencies and Chiles Act cooperative agreements, and any acquisition deemed to be of significant importance to the Agency regardless of its dollar value. This final rule provides that NASA field installations identify these acquisitions through the MBP process for possible Headquarters review and approval. The change to NASA's structured approach for developing a profit or fee objective (64 FR 51472-51476, September 23, 1999) mistakenly deleted NASA's policy [[Page 45306]] regarding the use of the structured approach for non-profit organizations and NASA's policy not to pay profit or fee on contracts with educational institutions. This final rule corrects this error by adding the previous language as section 1815.404-471-6. Additionally, editorial corrections and miscellaneous changes are made to correct the MBP format instructions, revise Internet reference citations, and correct the instructions for completing the Customs Form 7501, Entry Summary. B. Regulatory Flexibility Act NASA certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small business entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5U.S.C. 601 et seq.) because it does not impose any new requirements. C. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to the NFS do not impose any recordkeeping or information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. List of Subparts in 48 CFR Parts 1807, 1815, and 1825 Government procurement. Tom Luedtke, Associate Administrator for Procurement. Accordingly, 48 CFR Parts 1807, 1815 and 1825 are amended as follows: 1. The authority citation for 48 CFR Parts 1807, 1815 and 1825 continues to read as follows: Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(1) PART 1807--ACQUISITION PLANNING 2. In section 1807.103 revise paragraph (d)(iii)(E) to read as follows: 1807.103 Agency-head responsibilities. (d) * * * (iii) * * * (E) From or through other Government agencies except when the value of the acquisition meets the Master Buy Plan threshold (see 1807.7101(a)); * * * * * 3. Amend section 1807.7000 by removing ``(http://ec.msfc.nasa.gov/ hq/cci/first.html)'' and adding ``(http://procurement.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ CCI/first.cgi)'' in its place. 4. In section 1807.7101, revise paragraph (a) and add paragraphs (c)(3) and (c)(4) to read as follows: 1807.7101 Applicability. (a) The Master Buy Plan applies to each negotiated acquisition, including supplemental agreements and acquisitions through or from other Government agencies, where the dollar value, including the aggregate amount of options, follow-on acquisitions, or later phases of multi-phase acquisitions, is expected to equal or exceed $50,000,000. * * * * * (c) * * * (3) Any cooperative agreement notice where the total value (the Government's contribution plus the contribution of the recipient) of any resulting cooperative agreement is expected to equal or exceed $50,000,000. (4) Any acquisition designated by NASA Headquarters regardless of its value. * * * * * 5. In Table 1807-1, the second sentence of items (5)-(9) in the section titled ``Supplementary instructions by heading number'' is amended by removing the words ``column (8)'' and adding ``column (7)'' in its place. PART 1815--CONTRACTING BY NEGOTIATION 6. Add section 1815.404-471-6 to read as follows: 1815.404-471-6 Modification to structured profit/fee approach for nonprofit organizations. (a) The structured approach was designed for determining profit or fee objectives for commercial organizations. However, the structured approach must be used as a basis for arriving at profit/fee objectives for nonprofit organizations (FAR subpart 31.7), excluding educational institutions (FAR subpart 31.3), in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section. It is NASA policy not to pay profit or fee on contracts with educational institutions. (b) For contracts with nonprofit organizations under which profit or fee is involved, an adjustment of up to 3 percent of the costs in Block 13 of NASA Form 634 must be subtracted from the total profit/fee objective. In developing this adjustment, it is necessary to consider the following factors: (1) Tax position benefits; (2) Granting of financing through letters of credit; (3) Facility requirements of the nonprofit organization; and (4) Other pertinent factors that may work to either the advantage or disadvantage of the contractor in its position as a nonprofit organization. PART 1825--FOREIGN ACQUISITION 7. Revise section 1825.903 to read as follows: 1825.903 Exempted supplies. (a) Through delegation from the Associate Administrator for Procurement, procurement officers are authorized to certify duty free entry for articles imported into the United States, if those articles are procured by NASA or by other U.S. Government agencies, or by U.S. Government contractors or subcontractors when title to the articles is or will be vested in the U.S. Government in accordance with the terms of the contract or subcontract. Procurement officers shall complete the certification set forth in 14 CFR 1217.104(a) or 1217.104(c) (http:// www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-retrieve.html#page1). Upon arrival of foreign supplies at a port of entry, the consignee, generally the commercial carrier or its agent (import broker), will file Customs Form 7501, Entry Summary. This form is available from Service Ports (http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/location/ports/index.htm) or from NASA Headquarters' forms library (https://extranet.hq.nasa.gov/nef/user/ form_search.cfm). All duty-free certificates must be coordinated with the center Chief Counsel. Procurement officers must maintain a record of each certification and make this record available for periodic review by NASA Headquarters and the U.S. Customs Service.

Nen-ryū (念流) is a traditional (koryū) school of Japanese martial arts founded in 1368 CE by the samurai Sōma Shiro Yoshimoto (c.14th century) in modern-day Nagano Prefecture, where Yoshimoto is said to have taught only fourteen students until his death.
The school taught primarily the art of using the katana (kenjutsu), and it is a root art of many other koryū schools of swordsmanship, including Shinkage-ryū, Chujō-ryū, and Ittō-ryū. It has been known as Maniwa Nen-ryū since 1591, when it was named as such by Higuchi Matashichiro.[citation needed]
Later history and legacy[edit]
Yoshimoto eventually joined the Jufuku-ji, taking the Buddhist name Nen Ami (念阿弥), Jion (慈恩), before traveling to teach in Okinawa. Today, many traditional schools of karate, including Shotokan, practice a kata named "Jion" after him. Yoshimoto is also frequently credited with founding the martial art of Isshin-ryū kusarigamajutsu, but this may not be literally true. Some historians believe that Tan Isshin (c.17th century), who may have studied Maniwa Nen-ryū with Yui Shōsetsu (1605–1651), was the true founder of Isshin-ryū kusarigamajutsu. They believe that he was inspired by Yoshimoto's teachings and chose to credit him as the founder of the art to honor him.[citation needed]

Writing this blog, I cannot believe our cohort have been in Bolivia for more than three and a half weeks, and that we are over one-third of the way through already. When we first landed in El Alto I was surprised at how flat it was, given that we were in the mountains, 4,000m above sea level; however, all of a sudden the roads steepened and La Paz was revealed, and I do not think I have walked on a flat path since – you are either going up or down a hill in La Paz, and are often out-of-breath!!
I was so happy to find out I was on the Urban Agriculture project – and now we are here, and working on the project, I am even more pleased that I am part of the team. We have a very long list of things to achieve over the ten weeks, from making a nutritional binder, producing video manuals of best greenhouse practices and finding new markets for the producers, but being so busy is great as time flies by every day. The general routine is that we spend two days in the office, and two days in El Alto, and then it's Action Friday, where we visit the other projects that International Service are involved in.
|Action Friday's - Helping on the ChildFund project at the Pampahasi Alto children's centre
The days out of the office are more practical, and these are definitely my favourite.
|Working in the Focapaci greenhouses.
One afternoon last week, we spent time at Doña Delfina's house, one of the producers in El Alto, with her two children, Carolina, 10, and Victor, 4.
She was teaching us to transplant lettuces from the pots they had germinated in, to the main area of the greenhouse. We also did a video interview with Doña Delfina, so that we can create profiles of the producers on the new and improved website (currently in progress!). Despite my lack of Spanish skills, there was a moment during filming where everyone was smiling, and I knew something lovely had been said. When we stepped outside, I asked Florence (one of the volunteers who speaks much better Spanish than me!) to translate. Doña Delfina had said 'prior to the project her children used to often be unwell, but since being part of the project, they eat a wider range of food, that is more nutritious and organic, and so they are healthier and are rarely unwell'. Hearing that confirmed what a great project we are part of it, and why it is so important that we aim to get more families involved.
|The Urban Agriculture team, Dona Delfina, her two children, Carolina and Victor, and their two dogs!
Outside of work a lot has also happened; we have travelled to Coroico and Lake Titicaca during our weekends off; two very different and beautiful parts of Bolivia.
|Enjoying the weekend off at Lake Titicaca with some of the other volunteers.
Becoming unwell also seems part of the adaptation process in the first few weeks! Unfortunately I became ill with salmonella typhoid about a week in, and am still suffering a little, but despite the illness, and the cravings for a cup of tea with some digestive biscuits at home on the sofa at times, there is nowhere else I would rather be right now. Wherever you are in the city, the views always amaze me, both day and night. The weather here is constantly changing, providing a different backdrop to the city each day, with some very impressive thunderstorms at least a few times a week. And travelling on the teleferico for just 30p as part of your daily commute is another highlight.
|The daily commute - taking the teleferico to the office.
As amazing as the city and the project are, it is definitely the people I am with who have made my time here so great. Being around so many people, from all over the world, with such a diverse range of life experiences has been both refreshing and fascinating.
Basically everyone involved in the program is lovely, Bolivia is an amazing country, and the project work is really enjoyable and rewarding. If you are already planning on applying for the ICS program, definitely do it. If you are not planning to, then consider it. And if you cannot apply, but know someone who could, then tell them about it!

Hello my fellow bookworms, it is time to round-up my reading for the What's in a Name 2017 challenge; hosted by Charlie at The Worm Hole. This was my second time taking part and the premise is very simple: read books with a title that fits the six categories provided. Here is what I read for this year's categories:
- A number in numbers – Class of '59 by John A. Heldt
- A building – The Shack by William Paul Young
- A 'X' somewhere in it – Richard Nixon: A Very Brief History by Mark Black
- A compass direction – North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
- An item/s of cutlery – The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman (re-read)
- Two words with the same first letter – Seven Stages by Geoffrey Trease
Woohoo! That's six out of six which is the challenge well and truly completed this year.
That's not all though folks! Now it is time to get ready for What's in a Name 2018, that is again being hosted by Charlie at The Worm Hole. Here are the new categories for next year, and in the brackets are the books I own which I could possibly read for each:
- The word 'the' used twice (The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory or The Virgin of the Wind Rose by Glen Craney or The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier)
- A fruit or vegetable (Peach Blossom Pavilion by Mingmei Yip)
- A shape (Heartstones by Kate Glanville or The Loyal Heart by Merry Farmer)
- A title that begins with Z – can be after 'The' or 'A' (Zombie edited by Christopher Golden)
- A nationality (Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier)
- A season (Summer by Edith Wharton or Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett)
For those new to this challenge it runs from January to December; the books read can be in any format (print, audio, e-book); books cannot overlap categories; and it's preferred that the books don't overlap with other challenges. Apart from that I can read what I want in what order I want.
Did you take part this year? Do you fancy taking part next year? Which book do you think I should read first?

Three Southern nursing students win national scholarships
Three Southern University College of Nursing and Allied Health students won scholarships in recent national competitions.
Terrelle Foster, a PhD candidate, won the National League for Nursing Jonas Scholars Program's $6,000 research grant. Foster is one of only seven nursing students from around the country to be selected.
Nursing students Darnell Caldwell and Porche Wilson each received scholarships from the National Black Nurses Association for the 2014 fall semester.
Dr. Cheryl Taylor primary mentor for the students and Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, said, "For national and internationally renowned organizations to select SUBR nursing students as future nurse leaders and scholars symbolizes another star in our school of nursing's crown of jewels, the best students faculty and staff make the difference."
Southern's School of Nursing has been recognized as Louisiana's Nursing School of Year twice in the past four years by Louisiana State Nurses Association and the Louisiana Nurses Foundation.
Foster, a New Orleans native, said the award "will definitely help me complete my research" which is in the area of how nursing mentoring and nursing educational organization.
She said that because she is among only seven selected for the award "is proof of the quality of the nursing program at Southern University."
Caldwell, a senior nursing student from New Orleans, was awarded the $5,000 United Health Foundation Scholarship (UHFS). This is the second time that Caldwell has won a scholarship. She received a scholarship for the fall 2013 semester.
The UHFS scholarship is awarded to a nursing student pursuing a B.S. degree or higher nursing degree
Wilson, a senior nursing student from Baton Rouge, received the Rita E. Miller Scholarship for $2,500.
Wilson said she was "humbled" by the award, adding that she appreciated the motivation she received from her professors to pursue the scholarship. "They got me to step out of my comfort zone and apply," she said. "I want to thank Southern University for motivating me and my professors for being so hard on me."
The Rita E. Miller award is offered by Barbara Julian, a member of the Council of Black Nurses, in Los Angeles, in memory of the late Rita E. Miller, Dean of Nursing emeritus of Dillard University, to a student nurse pursuing a B.S. degree in Nursing from an HBCU.
All of the winners had to submit essays concerning their fields of study and had to have at least an overall 3.0 grade point average, and had to have performed considerable hours of community service.

After seven years of holding and reinvesting, I sold 100% of our family's stake in Oracle
The trouble with bluster
He didn't say so specifically. Rather, Ellison announced a series of new initiatives for serving corporate clients interested in cloud computing. Trouble is, every one of them smacks of something we've already seen from someone else, notably salesforce.com
But hey, don't take my word for it. Oracle describes the new Public Cloud service as an "enterprise cloud for business" that supports different applications and services hosted by Oracle and available on a subscription basis. Sound like anyone else you know?
Wait, it gets better. The apps, apparently powered by the long-awaited Fusion architecture, include a blend of services that sound even more like what others offer:
- Fusion CRM in the Cloud, which Oracle describes as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for helping "sales professionals outsmart their competition" in part by "collaborating" smarter. Never heard that one before. Except from, you know, salesforce.com.
Fusion HCM and Talent Management, which Oracle describes as another SaaS platform but for unleashing the "power of your people" via human resources. What other companies do this? How about SuccessFactors
(Nasdaq: SFSF)and Taleo (Nasdaq: TLEO)?
- Oracle Social Network, which is exactly as it sounds -- a social network built into the Public Cloud for helping users collaborate in ways familiar to those who already use Twitter, Facebook, or the new Google+ network. Oh, and don't forget Yammer and Chatter, salesforce.com's own popular network for connecting users with customers and partners.
In short, I can't think of a single breakthrough Oracle is offering with Fusion Apps and the Public Cloud.
They can take our data, but they'll never take ... OUR FREEDOM!
Ellison, for his part, told a keynote audience that what sets Public Cloud apart is the ability to move data into and out of Fusion Apps at will. By contrast, salesforce.com encourages clients to develop using its own Apex language, reducing compatibility with outside systems. That's proved to be an opportunity for data-integration specialist Informatica
Compatibility is important. So is data portability. But to go on stage and finger-wag at salesforce.com for not being 100% compatible with other systems is just low, especially when Oracle has made millions (billions?) selling its own data-integration tools. "The roach motel of clouds," TechCrunch reports him as saying when describing how salesforce.com allows clients to check in but not check out.
Point that finger elsewhere, Mr. Ellison
Call it Oracle's "Wag the Dog" moment, with Ellison creating hubbub over data "lock-in" in order to avoid admitting there isn't much new in what he's proposing with Fusion Apps and the Public Cloud. He's co-opting salesforce.com's message in the hope of stealing back install-and-maintain application software sales lost to the rise of cloud computing.
I can't abide that. Why? Because in this Extreme Makeover, Larry Ellison ignores his time spent pooh-poohing cloud computing. Four years ago, during an earnings call, he flat-out called it a bust.
Ellison has since changed his mind. He sees the threat cloud computing creates for Oracle's business. And with a hefty stake in NetSuite

For Korean American activists, Monday's passage of a House resolution -- calling on Japan to formally apologize for its wartime coercion of women and girls into sexual slavery -- represents not only an important victory but a lesson in grass-roots politics.
"We now have confidence in talking to mainstream politicians," Koreatown attorney Daniel Lee, coordinator of the 121 Coalition, said at a news conference Tuesday. The group took its name from the resolution.
Lee and other activists had gone to Washington with former sex slave Yong-Soo Lee to witness the unanimous House approval of the measure, which had been the focus of a months-long campaign by human rights groups.
"We found out for ourselves that American politicians are sensitive to what their constituents say," said Lee, a Huntington Beach resident. Working with volunteers from churches, community groups and the PTA, his group gathered thousands of signatures and bombarded lawmakers with phone calls, letters and visits to get the measure enacted. They also experienced the satisfaction of joining forces with other ethnic groups, such as Chinese and Filipinos, as well as mainstream organizations, including Amnesty International and the Los Angeles branch of the National Organization for Women, he said.

Electricity consumers in Iraq can look forward to some respite from supply shortages from next month when the nation starts to import natural gas from Iran. At the recent World Energy Congress in Daegu, South Korea, Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, Dr. Hussein al-Shahristani, told Gastech News that – after some delay – construction of the pipeline that will carry the gas should be completed soon.
However, gas-consuming countries hoping to import gas from Iraq will need to temper expectations, the minister added, given how quickly demand within Iraq is expected to grow.
Iraq has been negotiating with the Iranians to import gas through two pipelines, the first of which will serve the central part of the country, including Baghdad, and the second of which will serve the south of the country around Basra.
Ready next month: "We have signed contracts with Iran to import gas for our power generation stations in the central part of the country," said al-Shahristani, "and we are about to sign another contract to import Iranian gas in the south of the country. These are short-term contracts just to give us time to run our new power stations on gas until our oil production is increased to a point where we have sufficient associated gas to be used for our own domestic needs.
"The pipeline that we have already signed the contract for is under construction. It should have been finished by July last. It wasn't. Now the Iranians tell us it will be ready next month."
The contract covering gas supply to the Baghdad area is for 850 MMcf/d over a period of ten years, said the minister. All the gas is destined for electricity generation. The initial capacity of the new pipeline will be 850 MMcf/d but this is to be increased. "The Iranians need compressor systems on their side to be able to boost the pressure and the quantity," added al-Shahristani.
"The contract that we are negotiating with the Iranians for the south – in the Basra area, again purely for power generation – is a bigger pipeline. The contract has not been signed, but the offer that we have received was that they would be able to lay it down in 6 months."
Iran the only possibility: While the Middle East region is blessed with large reserves of conventional natural gas, the bulk of these are in Iran and Qatar. Most other countries in the region are struggling to meet fast-rising demand for gas. So Iraq had little choice but to approach Iran for new gas supplies. "Qatar has already committed its gas in long-term contracts," said the minster, "and there isn't much Qatar gas available for the region. Iran is the only other possibility."
Until relatively recently there were hopes that post-war Iraq would become a big exporter of natural gas, perhaps to Europe and perhaps to some its neighbours in the Middle East.
20 GW of new power generation – all gas-fired: However, when Gastech News asked the minister what the current thinking was around future gas exports, he replied: "Iraq has a very large programme of building new power generation. So far we have signed contracts for 20 GW of new power generation and there will be more. All these power stations will be fired by gas.
"As we increase our own production and the associated gas is increased, we expect by 2017/2018 we'll be meeting all our gas needs for our domestic power plants. Beyond that date there will be surplus gas for export.
"All our neighbours, with the exception of Iran [and Qatar], have asked Iraq to supply them with gas. So has the European Union. However, that surplus Iraqi gas will be available for perhaps five to ten years. Beyond that, as our economy develops, as our local consumption increases, we'll have to see if we find new gas fields. If not, we'll be needing more gas domestically."

Plan a safe journey in and around Western NSW these holidays
20 December 2017
Motorists are reminded to plan ahead, allow additional travel time and drive to the conditions through the Western region this holiday season.
With scores of motorists headed to their destination of choice these summer holidays, Roads and Maritime Services encourages all motorists to be courteous on the road and to be mindful heavy traffic is expected at certain pinckpoints across the state.
A Roads and Maritime spokesperson said all major road building work will be suspended from next Friday 22 December to Sunday 7 January inclusive as well as on Australia Day on Friday 26 January to reduce delays for road users.
High traffic volumes are expected from the start of the school holidays to the Australia Day weekend. Peak travel periods when many people choose to travel start from Boxing Day Tuesday 26 to Thursday 28 December and on Fridays and weekends," the spokesperson said.
Reduced speed limits will be in place:
- At Trewilga on the Newell Highway, 40 kilometres north of Parkes, an 80 km/h speed limit will be in place from Friday 22 December to Sunday 7 January inclusive
- At Guanna Hill on the Mitchell Highway, 21 kilometres north of Orange, speed limits of 60 km/h and 80 km/h will be in place from Friday 22 December to Sunday 7 January inclusive.
The spokesperson said no one likes being stuck in traffic and road users are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
"Motorists are also reminded to slow down in urban areas with a high number of pedestrians expected to be accessing shopping strips, malls and popular tourist destinations including beaches.
"High pedestrian activity is expected including at recreational areas along the coast and parks and motorists need to slow down and remain cautious.
"Double demerits will also be in place from Friday 22 December to Tuesday 2 January inclusive and road users need to drive to the conditions."
Motorists are encouraged to take a break at one of around 80 Driver Reviver Sites throughout NSW to reduce fatigue with locations to be made available in December on the Centre for Road Safety website.
Plan ahead, allow extra travel time and follow all signs. For live traffic information visit www.livetraffic.com or call 132 701.

Heat a pot over medium heat and toss in your coconut. Keep an eye on it and watch it get nice and toasty. When it's about 50% brown pour in the chicken broth and rice. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook on low for 45 mins or until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is soft and chewy.
While the rice is cooking start the fish:
|Pineapple-y yumminess.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 fillet of the fish of your choice
a pinch of each salt and pepper
the juice from a small can of diced pineapple
1/4 cup of canned diced pineapple
Heat the oil over medium heat then carefully lay the fish fillet into the pan. Season with the salt and pepper. Let the first side cook for about 3 minutes the flip and season the other side. Add in the juice and pineapple. As the juice cooks it'll thicken into a delicious glaze-y type sauce. Keep brushing it over the fish as it cooks - about 5 more minutes. Done! How easy is that?!
Serve with a veggie of some kind. We had roasted broccoli.
You know what? The first person to send me a picture of them eating this dish while wearing an adult onsie totally gets some sort of prize. Don't say I never gave you anything!

POSTED BY Nick Kapur ON 1:10 am, July 26, 2006 - POSTED IN News reel
Five days after I wrote this post pointing out the epidemic of oblique injuries this year in baseball, Bill Plaschke wrote the exact same thing in the Los Angeles Times, only he padded it out to the length of a full article with his usual dross and attempts to make "jokes."
Plaschke's answer to my open question of why there are so many oblique injuries this year? He claims that now that players have all come off steroids, they are pumping extra iron and increasing muscle mass too quickly, putting extra strain on their obliques.
As usual, Plaschke doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. If I recall correctly, increasing muscle mass too quickly is a problem you have when you go on steroids, not when you come off of them.

text: TV / VideoWhy CBS Is Slotting Stephen Colbert After Super Bowl 50Looks to put Colbert in front of Tonight Show viewersBy Tim Baysinger|November 11, 2015ShareBy Tim Baysinger|November 11, 2015Share CBS has invested a lot of promotional to its revamped late-night lineup this year, but next February, both Stephen Colbert and James Corden will get their biggest push yet. The network said today that it would air a live episode of Stephen Colbert's Late Show directly following its broadcast of Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7, 2016, the first time a late-night show will get the plum post-Super Bowl slot. Following Colbert and the local news, CBS will then air a special Super Bowl episode of James Corden's Late Late Show, as the network looks to take advantage of the massive audience that the Super Bowl provides. Last year, NBC ran a special live episode of The Tonight Show, which followed an episode of The Blacklist and local news. In 2003, ABC premiered Jimmy Kimmel Live following its coverage of Super Bowl XXXVII, but it didn't directly follow the big game. "It's been a very big year in late night at CBS," said Glenn Geller, president of CBS Entertainment. "We're extremely proud of our two new late-night franchises, and we're thrilled to give Stephen and James this big Super Bowl Sunday showcase." CBS likely has more to gain by slotting Colbert after the Super Bowl versus one of its prized scripted series such as Supergirl or a midseason launch. Despite the large audience that stays tuned in following the NFL championship game, shows that have aired in that slot typically haven't experienced a significant viewership bump for subsequent episodes. At least putting Colbert in front of viewers who ordinarily watch The Tonight Show—or even Jimmy Kimmel—gives the network a chance to convert them to a still a very new Late Show. While Colbert has improved Late Show's ratings from the same time last year—when David Letterman was in the midst of his swan song—by 20 percent among total viewers to about 3.3 million, he still sits behind Jimmy Fallon's 3.8 million viewer average. Not surprisingly, the younger and more social media-savvy Colbert has more than doubled Late Show's viewership among adults 18 to 34, and it has improved 60 percent among adults 18 to 49. Since Corden's debut in March, the British import has helped The Late Late Show gain 33 percent among adults 18 to 34. CBS will air Super Bowl 50 from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., and has already said it's commanding a record $5 million from advertisers for a 30-second spot.

Hi guys!
I hope you are having an awesome week, full of art and fun! This is my interpretation for Tim's July Tag. In addition to not having that specific blueprints stamp set, I am Brazilian and live in Trinidad, in the Caribbean. Here we don't celebrate the 4th of July... All is good! I gathered some other stamps and made a London theme tag for this month. After I finished this one, I had so many other ideas for more tags... Anyways, next time...
I started by cutting a number 8 tag out of cardboard with my Tag and bookplates die. Then, I covered with a patterned cardstock. On the side, I stamped 3 images on bristol paper: the English flag and the London word stamps came from the From Paris to London stamp set; and the crown came from Mini ornates stamp set. Then, I colored them with my Copic markers. I torn each image and inked the edges; glue them in this fashion and, using a black fine liner, I made faux stitches (my sewing machine is down... again!).
To finish my tag, I added a number plate and a token written CREATE. I had so much fun with this tag!
I hope you guys like it!
Art on!

Microsoft IE Vulnerability to be patched September 21, 2012!
Be sure to do your Windows Update, Java update, and security software updates over the next few days. Then be sure to do a through security scan of your system(s).
Tom's Hardware > News > Solutions > Software > Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Patch For IE Vulnerability
Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Patch For IE Vulnerability
Microsoft has reacted quickly to a recently emerged zero-day exploit that affects IE 6, 7, 8, and 9. The patch will be made available to IE users on Friday and users are advised to update their IE right away.
Released as a MSI package, the patch is described as a workaround that leverages the Windows application compatibility toolkit to make a small change to MSHTML.DLL in memory every time the DLL is loaded by Internet Explorer. Microsoft previously recommended IE users to take this step manually, while the patch automates the task. Microsoft provides an installation guide for the workaround as well as information to uninstall the patch again.
Microsoft stressed that the workaround is only effective if all recent security updates for IE have been installed as well.
The company confirmed existing attacks that exploit the vulnerability. However, Microsoft said that "only 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer" are targeted and attacks "rely on third-party browser plugins to either perform efficient heap-spray in memory and/or to bypass the built-in mitigations of Windows Vista and 7 such as DEP and ASLR." However, users can further reduce the risk of a successful attack by updating theirJava version from Java 6 to 7.

Bill Introduced to Close Corporate Loopholes and Raise $924 Million for IL
On March 10th, International Women's Day, Representative Will Guzzardi introduced HB4004 to raise $924 million by closing nine corporate tax loopholes. Illinois' backlog of unpaid bills has grown to $11 billion and the general fund's deficit is now $9.5 billion. Budget cuts have a disproportionate impact on women — denying them opportunity to go to college, failing to support female caregivers, robbing female seniors of independence and dignity, endangering women's safety, and increasing poverty and homelessness among women.
"It's a moral failure that we're letting the neediest among us suffer while huge corporations game the system to boost their profits," said Rep. Guzzardi. "The nearly $1 billion dollars of loopholes we can close will take taxpayer money back from the corporate special interests and invest it where it belongs: in the people of Illinois, in our schools and roads and neighborhoods."
The bill proposes:
- Taxing profits hidden in offshore tax havens.
- Updating the vendor discount to match Kentucky's model. Illinois loses the most of any state in the country on this antiquated law that compensates corporations for calculating the sales tax they owe the state. Walmart alone saves $8 million/year from this loophole. The proposed model would protect small business by capping the discount.
- Taxing profits from offshore oil drilling.
- Decoupling from the Federal Domestic Productions Deduction. This is a federal deduction that rewards corporations for expanding their production anywhere in the United States. It does nothing to encourage investment in Illinois specifically.
- The remaining loopholes can be found here.

Desperate Dems no match for Arnie
Via The Professor.
Steyn not only manages to be accurate and informative, but witty as well. Unlike Maureen Dowd, he's not just another "Don Rickles with an exceptionally high language quotient".
You gotta admire the way the media stayed on the Democrats' sinking California ship right to the very end. On the CNN Web site, even after Gray Davis had conceded, they were sticking to the loser's talking-points:
"Schwarzenegger, who, like Hitler, is a native of Austria . . ."
CNN? Oh, that's that network with Larry King, who, like the Son of Sam, is a native of Brooklyn. Used to be owned by Ted Turner, who, like the Cincinnati Strangler, is a native of Cincinnati. Now part of Time Warner, founded by the Warner Brothers, the oldest of whom, Harry Warner, like many Auschwitz guards, was a native of Poland.
Anyway, the good news is that residents of the Golden Reich still have the right to recall their new fuhrer from his bunker in Sacramento, and he probably won't make Jews wear yellow stars and gays wear pink triangles because the fabric costs for Hollywood and San Francisco alone would double the deficit.
Classic use of absurdity to make a point.

This restaurant is a favourite of mine because its owned and run by Aussies. The highlight for me has to be the rooftop bar – a true West Hollywood hot spot perfect for an afternoon cocktail (or two!).
The first level is E.P (music slang for 'extended play') this is where you will find South-east Asia inspired dishes. The creative duo behind this restaurant have also created a medallion program for local Australian's, who receive 50% off food and drink on Monday nights! My recommendations would have to be the kakoda, a fijian style ceviche- this dish is creamy but with a citrus tanginess to it! The crispy skin chicken is the best chicken I've ever had! I don't know what spices they have on the skin but it so salty and crisp with succulent chicken underneath! And my other suggestion would be the hanger steak- this is crave worthy goodness, it quite literally falls apart in your mouth people!!! I am not usually a sweet's person and never order dessert but I had the opportunity to try a selection of the desserts and honestly these are the best desserts Ive ever eaten. We ordered the mango crepe, peanut butter and jelly squares, fruit loop ice cream and deep fried coconut ice-cream. For me the stand out here was the deep fried ice cream. It has a layer of sponge cake that encompasses the ice-cream and then on the outside is some sort of crunchy coconut layer, it is then sitting in a butterscotch sauce. My god this is the stuff dreams are made of ha! I don't think Ive ever had anything quite like this godly ball- Do yourself a favour and give it a try, I guarantee you wont be disappointed!
The interior is almost club like with dark finishes and copper accents. The macaroni wallpaper lining the stairwell as you enter the restaurant really sets the tone for the young and vibrant atmosphere of the space. With built in bench seating running the length of the wall they are able to centre a few larger round tables for bigger groups whilst keeping the small couples lined up along the wall in speed dating like fashion! Ive learnt living here that at some stage throughout your meal someones butt will most definitely knock something on your table as they squeeze past! Its L.A space is limited so expect to feel like you are listening in on the all the 'boy drama' from the two girls next to you! Towards the back of the room is the kitchen- this has been designed as an open kitchen where you can sit and watch the chefs make magic happen! They have really nailed the combination of music, food and design to create an inviting yet exclusive atmosphere perfect for a night out in L.A.
Once you have finished dinner you head upstairs to L.P rooftop, In music terms 'long play', but also a place where you can take this term literally and spend your whole night sipping on cocktails and enjoying the warm summer night. This has been designed to be a spacious open deck that oozes cool with its overhead fairy lights and neon installations. It is an open yet intimate space that really makes you sit back and relax, it seems to attract a lot of Aussies if you are like me and feel soothed by our exotic accents ha! If you are looking for somewhere to take a break from the hustle and bustle of L.A then this is the place for you!!

Highland Pharms CBD Oil Review
It is worth noting that there are plenty of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant but CBD is now the 2nd most popular cannabinoid in the world mainly because it is beneficial to human health.
The company not only uses cannabinoids like CBD in their products but also includes Moringa that is labeled as one of Nature's Superfood.
The Highland Pharms Difference
High-grade hemp plants are the source of Highland Pharms CBD oil. They make use of the supercritical CO2 process that does not require solvents in the manufacturing process. The final batch of products is also tested by the company and by third parties prior to selling it to the public. They don't only include CBD as part of their ingredients but you'll also find traces of CBDA, CBG, CBD, and Terpenes among others.
CBD Products
- CBD Drops – Tincture
Highland Pharms CBD Drops – Tincture is manufactured using the supercritical CO2 extraction method using high-quality hemp loaded with CBD to ensure it is pure and contains as much CBD as possible for the consumer's benefit. It is available in different dosages and priced anywhere from $39.95 to $349.95 per bottle.
- CBD Capsules
Unarguably the most convenient way of taking medicines or supplementations, capsules are preferred by most users since you just pop it and swallow and you are all good. No more special preparations needed.
The CBD capsule line sold by Highland Pharms come in 5 dosages:
- 15 mg.
- 25 mg.
- 50 mg.
- 75 mg.
- 100 mg.
They all come as powdered-hemp extract capsules. You can also choose from regular capsules to soft gels. The latter works a little quicker since it takes a while for the regular capsule to act on the body because it breaks down longer. From $49.95 to $169.95, you'll definitely find an oral CBD preparation from Highland Pharms that meets your needs.
- CBD Gummies
A better way to take oral preparations of CBD is in the gummy form. You'll feel as if you're not taking added supplementation like kids because they look rather cute.

INTERNET TEXT is a meditation on the philosophy, psychology, political economy, and psychoanalytics of Internet (computer) communication. It focuses on virtual subjectivity, sexuality, community, and all aspects of computer interfacing. Please consult the Index for the list of topics.
The text consists of hundreds of sections written over a period of over two years, a continuous meditation on cyberspace, emphasizing issues of interiority, subjectivity, body, and language. The extended range of topics includes Net applications, as well as occasional reference to the underlying architecture and protocols of telecommunications; this is the materialist "gristle" that can't be discarded in analysis.
All of the sections have been presented on the Fiction-of-Philosophy and Cybermind email-lists, which I co-moderate.
The subject matter is in the form of "short-waves, long-waves." The former are the individual sections, written in a variety of styles, and referencing a number of writers ranging from Jabes and Blanchot to Acker and Lingis, with Penrose, Kristeva, and Karl Kraus somewhere in the middle. These texts are completely interrelated; on occasion "characters" appear – these are _actants_ possessing philosophical or psychological import. They also create and problematize narrative sub-structures within the work as a whole. (Such are Clara Hielo Internet, Tiffany, Alan, Travis, Honey, and others.)
The long-waves are fuzzy topoi of such issues as death, love, virtual embodiment, the "granularity of the real," and physical reality, which criss-cross the texts. The resulting fragments and coagulations owe something to romanticism, deconstruction, linguistics, prehistory, the philosophy of science, and so forth – but more to the function of sites or nodes on the Net itself.
The writing encompasses, past and present, but wagers the future as well; hence, the emphasis on extended virtuality.
Reading: I advise at least skimming the first Net1.txt, and then consulting the Index – or follow your own path through the maze / theoretical substance.

I have this habit where I try to squeeze as many links into my reading diet as possible, by bookmarking and saving for later and favoriting and subscribing to digest newsletters and on and on. As you might have guessed, I don't get to all of them, and a lot of those links and stories stay stored in my favorites or bookmarks or emails for a long time, gathering digital dust, until I do a seasonal cleaning and trash a lot of stuff. It's a very familiar pattern, but none of this is tangible.
I sometimes wonder how much time we spend managing intangible things that we'll end up trashing.

Kingdoms (Lodi · Suri
Pashtunwali (Pashto: پښتونوالی) or Pakhtunwali refers to the traditional lifestyle of the Pashtun people[1], which is also regarded as an ancient honor code or a non-written law for its people.[2][3] Though Pashtunwali is believed to date back to pre-Islamic period, its usage or practice does not contravene basic Islamic principles.[4]
Paradise in Islam is acquired though [doing] Pashtu… the countless graces of Paradise come though [doing] Pashtu to the Pashtuns.[5]
Pashtunwali is practiced by Pashtuns in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including by members of the Pashtun diaspora around the world.[6]
Pashtunwali is an ancient "code of honor" that is practiced by the native Pashtuns of Afghanistan in Pakistan, including the Pashtun communities around the world. It is a set of rules guiding both individual and communal conduct. Pashtunwali is socially practiced by the majority.
Pashtuns embrace an ancient traditional, spiritual, and communal identity tied to a set of moral codes and rules of behavior, as well as to a linear record of history spanning over five thousand years. Pashtunwali promotes self-respect, independence, justice, hospitality, love, forgiveness, revenge and tolerance toward all (especially to strangers or guests).[4] It is considered a personal responsibility of every Pashtun to discover and rediscover Pashtunwali's essence and meaning.
Pashtunwali is an unwritten law and ideology of the Pashtun society inherited from their forefathers. It is a dominant force of Pashtun culture and identity. Pashtunwali is conservative, oligarchic, centuries old but still a young phenomenon in the Pashtun culture and socio-economic structure.
It has been able to maintain a powerful dialectical balance of the Pashtun society. Pashtunwali, a complement of the Pashtun society, has undergone various legal, political, economic and cultural changes for its reform. It has developed into an accepted constitution.
Pashtunwali consists of qualifications such as Khpelwaki (self authority), Sialy (Equality), Jirga (Assembly), Mishertob (Elders), Ezaat (Respect of all people), Roogha (reconciliation or compromise), Badal (revenge), Barabari (equivalence), Teega/Nerkh (Law), Aziz/Azizwale (clan, clanship), Terbor/Terborwali (cousin and tribal rivalries), Nang (Honour), Ghairat (Pride), Oogha Warkawel ( to give a lift to persons in need), Nanawati Warkawel ( to offer asylum), Ashar (shared co-operative work), Zhamena (commitment), Melayter (patrons), Chegha (call for action), Soolah (truce), Nanawati (protection) and others.
Pashtunwali is an oligarchic structure emphasizing of Jirga, Sialy and Barabary. It is a defensive system in terms of Jirga, Chegha and Arbakai (system of village militias). It is a legal system in terms of Jirga, Teega/Nerkh, Pannah and Roogha. This system has managed all social and internal affairs of the Pashtun/Pakhtun society before and after Islam. It has created small and large local governments in Central and South Asia.
Pashtunwali embodies all the principles of a self-sufficient social group. Its two principles of Siali (Competition) and Mailmastia (Hospitality) embody two social principles that ensure a society's progress through competition; and survival through co-operation. The elements of conflict and co-operation are evenly balanced in the make-up of Pashtunwali. Concepts like Nang (honour), Siali (competition) and Badal (retribution) are open to interpretation, as the social needs and the collective perception of the group change with time.
