Mosquitoes just do not bite or make an unpleasant whirring noise. They are known health hazards and some of the worst forms of malaria, dengue, encephalitis and various other diseases are caused by mosquito bites. It would be therefore not a bad idea to have a look at a few quality natural repellants instead of settling for artificial ones.

- They Are Disease Carriers
They suck blood form human and animals and transmit a host of diseases from animals to human beings and from one human being to another. Millions of people suffer from various diseases transmitted by mosquitoes including malaria, zika, dengue, encephalitis and many more.
- Anti-Mosquito Chemicals Are Dangerous
Dousing your home or even yourself with anti-mosquito chemicals has its own share of problems and side effects.
Some Proven Natural Mosquito Repellents
We will learn more about a few plants which have excellent mosquito repellant properties. They are proven and time tested.
Citronella plant, also known as Citrosum plant is a good anti-mosquito option. It can be grown in your home and it has a unique citronella fragrance emanating from its foliage.
Crushed Citronella Leaves Can Help
The leaf when crushed and rubbed into the skin gives out a very pleasant aroma. At the same time it helps to naturally keep mosquitoes at bay. It is very safe and does not have any serious side effects associated with these repellants.
Lemon Balm Has Great Mosquito Repellent Properties
The green leaves from the lemon balm have the fantastic scent of lemon and they also come with a hint of mint attached to it.
- It Drives Mosquitoes And Has Other Healing Properties
This is because they belong to the mint family. It wards off mosquitoes quite effectively and also has quite a few other healing properties.
- Citronella Also Could Help In Pollination
It also attracts a number of pollinating agents like bees and butterflies.
- Very Easy To Use
All you have to do is to crush a few leaves of lemon balm leaves and rub the juice on the skin that is exposed. You can easily grow this plant and you can also buy it online if you wish.
Catnip is often considered to be one of the best naturally occurring insect repellents.
- Catnip Is Rich In Nepetalactone
It is rich in a natural chemical by the name nepetalactone which keeps insects away and also attracts felines.
- It Is Effective Than DEET
Many studies have proven that when compared to DEET, catnip is at least 10 times more effective.
- It Attracts Cats & Felines Too
However, if you are not a fan of cats, you may not like this plant but having feline company is much better than being bitten all over the place by deadly mosquitoes.

The Spirit of Indian Painting: Close Encounters with 101 Great Works, 1100-1900
Penguin Books, 2014 - Miniature painting, Indic - 570 pages
This magnificent, lavishly illustrated book by India's most eminent and perceptive art historian, B.N. Goswamy, will open readers' eyes to the wonders of Indian painting, and show them new ways of seeing and appreciating art. An illuminating introductory essay, 'A Layered World', explains the themes and emotions that inspired Indian painters, the values and influences that shaped their work, and the unique ways in which they depicted time and space. It describes, too, the characteristics of the different regional styles, the relationship between patrons and painters, the milieu in which they created their works, and the tools and techniques the painters used.
The second part of this book consists of 'Close Encounters with 101 Great Works'. Carefully selected by Prof. Goswamy and spanning nearly a thousand years, these works range from Jain manuscripts, and Rajasthani, Mughal, Pahari and Deccani miniatures, to Company School paintings. His description and analysis of these works unlock the treasures that lie within them and show us how to 'read' each painting, as he points out is finest features, explains is visual vocabulary and symbolism, and recounts the story, legend or event that inspired it.

This is the tray of plants I spoke about in my message earlier. I had put them in the tray to keep them watered as I wish to take them to my new home - wherever that might be!
But unknown to me, four frogs moved in too! I managed to decant two into my water feature where frogs are known to like it, one small one escaped, but this one was insisting on his ownership by having a sit in demonstration!

The One Thing You Can Do To Stay Body Positive This Holiday Season
The holidays are a trying time of year for many of us. From having to interact with extended relatives we'd very much rather not see to the "how to curb your Christmas tummy" ads we're likely to spot on every magazine stand, staying body positive during the holidays can begin to feel like an even more mythical concept than the damn Force. I mean, can you really remember a holiday dinner that didn't end in someone musing over how "bad" they were for eating both the ham and the turkey or talking about how their New Year's resolution would be to fit into pants two size smaller come the spring?
Yep: The holidays can bring out the best in us. You know, the part of ourselves that truly believes in the importance of giving; maybe even in exercising mindfulness over those who could use some help the most. But they can also bring out the worst in us. The part of ourselves that hears fat shaming and doesn't say anything, and maybe even takes it to heart. The part of ourselves that can become filled with self-loathing over something as benign as a calorie. The part of ourselves that is tempted to believe the words the Nutrisystem lady is spewing on TV, because everyone seems to agree with her.
But there's one little thing you can do to remain body positive despite all the holiday diet talk. When I find myself in situations that lend themselves to body shaming — which seems to be an especially common thing as soon as Thanksgiving turkeys are stocked at your local grocery store — I remind myself to ask why this type of shaming exists, rather than accepting it as normal.
No, it's not a perfect formula. It's not an app you can pull out of your iPhone. It's not an affirmation or meme or blogger to turn to or movie to watch. It's just a question. I've found that questions are sort of the foundation of most things. It's kind of like they say in Morrowind when you're being given advice on how to navigate and explore the universe: "Ask questions. You don't ask, you don't learn."
If you catch yourself feeling guilty, sad, or frustrated about the second serving of food you really want to eat, the holiday weight gain you're putting on, the fact that you are no longer the same size at 25 as you were at 15 when that one uncle last saw you, or that you never did grow to be as tall and leggy as the other aunt thought you would, just ask yourself why. Why do you feel guilty? What is it about eating — this thing we have to do to survive — that's making you feel terrible about yourself? What is it about having physically grown in the last 10 years that seems so wrong? Why do you actually need a second or third gym membership?
If we're going by social conventions, the answers may go a little something like this: Because you should only eat the bare minimum you need to survive, and anything excess means you're a horrible, greedy person. Because staying the same size your 15-year-old self was means you've succeeded! You've managed to hold onto your "best body." Because you might already work out, but you can always work out more. Because your No. 1 goal in life should be to stay slender.
There are a lot of problems with these society-friendly responses, though. For one, throwing out excess food or turning your nose up at the calories you're lucky to be consuming feels far more insulting to those in need than eating two helpings of Christmas ham. Additionally, as people age, they are supposed to grow: Physically, intellectually, etc. And no one in this world can tell you what your "best body" is, because no one else in this world lives in your body. So when you actually ask yourself why, and give yourself that moment to think up all the answers, doesn't it all just seem, well, absolutely absurd?
Chances are, if you're a person who is already familiar with the wacked-out idea that all bodies are worthy of acceptance, then you probably already know, at your core, that there's no reason to be feeling shitty. There's no logical reason to assign moral value to size or to the amount of peppermint cupcakes you stuff in your face. There's no logical reason to doubt that your body — as it is — is already fixed, because it was never broken. And there's certainly no logical reason to believe that anything you derive joy or excitement from (so long as it's not hurting anyone, I suppose) is problematic.
The "why" to all the questions and internalized body shaming that may be surfacing this time of year is, usually, about society. But society — whatever that even means — isn't always right. If we went off everything society has said, at some point in history, we would never evolve. We'd never fight for LGBTQ rights. We wouldn't have fought for integration. We would be banning people from entering whole countries based on their religion. We'd still be binding our feet to make them more "dainty" (despite the deformity this can cause) or consuming arsenic to make our complexions clearer (despite the death this can cause).
When you take a moment to ask yourself "why," what you'll often discover is that the worries you're having aren't actually yours. They're constructs, and products of a culture that's taught us — and especially women — that being fat is the worst thing that could ever happen to us, á la Daphne in Scooby Doo . So when you take that moment to ask the question, you'll likely realize there was never an actual answer. And then you'll be able to carry on participating in the things the holiday season is all about: Feeling joy, sharing in joy, and eating really frickin' delicious roasted potatoes.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know about myself….and others. I continue to learn.
I've reached an age where knowledge exceeds impetuosity, where wisdom allows freedom. An age where unreasonable demands without question become irreconcilable.
I give you this wisdom. As you go through the current demands of your life be sure this is your course.
If the course is not yours and is demanded of you, be sure you want to accept the regret. You will change the lives and times of others.
Are you ready? Unreasonable demands without question are irreconcilable. The atmosphere will be extremely stressful for you, if the course is not yours.

Hello everyone. I'm really excited to write this blog post to let you know that today we have officially released Exact Macola 10.2 – the latest update to our flagship product Exact Macola 10. This new update adds four key new features and over 300 smaller enhancements.
But before I dive into what's new with version 10.2, let's first spend a minute on a quick refresher of Exact Macola 10 – and what makes version 10 such a leap forward from our previous generation products, Exact Macola Progression and Exact Macola ES.
Exact Macola 10 is built on several foundational products that you may already be familiar with.
If you were, or maybe still are a user of Exact Macola Enterprise Suite (we usually call it ES) – then you are already familiar with one of the foundational pieces of Exact Macola 10. In version 10, we brought in nearly all of the core Exact Macola ES functionality, including nearly all of the modules, and included them out of the box. That includes the modules for accounting, distribution, and manufacturing.
Second, we included Exact Synergy Enterprise – which is a very valuable product even on its own merits. We use Exact Synergy Enterprise for three key pieces of functionality. Probably the most obvious is Customer Relationship Management – or CRM. This is the functionality that allows you to track information about your customers, your potential customers, and your employees. The second piece is document management, which allows you to save and archive documents into a searchable system. The third part of Synergy is workflows. With workflows, you have the ability to define a process and ensure that it is followed, sending an approval through the appropriate channels, and establishing an audit trail. For example, when inventory needs to be ordered, a workflow may specify that the order goes to the inventory manager for approval. If the order is over a certain dollar figure, you could also configure the workflow to require an approval from the CFO. You can establish a processes around handling orders, contacting customers, or whatever else you can dream up.
The third piece of Exact Macola 10 is the automation piece, which leverages Exact Event Manager. With this tool, you can define all sorts of automated triggers. When x happens, you want the system to automatically do y. A great example of this would be creating email alerts for low inventory, trigger database actions, or even launching a workflow.
The fourth, and perhaps the most unique piece of Exact Macola 10, are the Personalized Workspaces (which you may have previously heard referred to as "Navigator"). These workspaces wrap-up the information from the three pieces I mentioned above and display information in a way that is easily and quickly consumable and actionable to the end user. Workspaces give you a view of your data personalized to you, or your role. But more than just viewing information, you can take action directly from those workspaces. If you see that inventory is low – click and launch the process to order more. If you see that customers have placed new orders, you can click to generate pick tickets. The best thing about workspaces is how customizable they are. You can build whatever you want. They really are a game changer – and something unique to Exact Macola.
What's New in 10.2?
Now that we have a refresher on the pieces that make up Exact Macola 10, let's talk about what's new in version 10.2, which is available as of today.
There are four key pieces of new functionality that we worked on for this release – plus several other smaller enhancements. As you may notice – three of these four items either are web services or leverage web services. As we've been discussing with our customers for the last year or so, exposing key functionality as web services was and is core to our strategy for the long term vision of the product.
So let's take a minute to review the four big pieces we added.
- Probably our most significant addition in this version is order entry (OE) as a web service. With OE exposed as a web service, our customers can accept orders from any software that can submit that order in the form of a URL. That is also the key that allowed us to build out a web interface and a mobile interface for order entry. What benefit(s) does this offer the customer?
- Easy/fast/simple/cheap integration to nearly any e-commerce solution, commercial or homegrown
- Faster you can accept orders, the faster you can grow your business
- Automating the order entry process, we deduce the costly errors and mistakes as critical information is first brought into the Exact Macola system
- Our second important addition in version 10.2 is with accounts payable (AP) as a web service. Similar to order entry, we wanted to expose this as a web service to open up a world of possibilities. With AP exposed as a web service, not only did we build a web front end that allows us to do things we couldn't do in the original client, but with AP exposed as a web service, you can potentially automate what has traditionally been hours of manual entry.
- Third, we now have the ability to launch our web services – including OE and AP that we just talked about - from a workflow. So, for example, if one of your engineers creates specs for a new 3D printable item, you probably want to route through various departments for approval. Once everything is approved, instead of re-entering all of those specs into your master data, the workflow can automatically engage a web service to create that item for you. That's just an example – and the automation possibilities here are pretty exciting. Reduce the amount of manual entry and likewise reduce costly human errors, accelerate the order entry and account payable processes (and therefore be able to handle/process more) with automation
- The fourth and final of our major enhancements is our mobile app. Thanks to the advances we've been making with web services, we've also opened up a tremendous amount of new functionality that we can enable for mobile devices. For example, with this new app, you'll be able to enter an order from the field, find customers near you, open customer cards, check inventory availability, and open up any of your defined workspaces! This kind of functionality makes our mobile app infinitely more valuable for field employees, as well as those who just happen to be at home or out of the office. The mobile app for iOS has been submitted to the Apple app store and should show up any day now. The Android version will follow in the coming months.
Over 300 Enhancements
One of the things we want you to know is that we are responding to your requests and to the market. As such, in addition to the four large pieces outlined above, we've added over 300 smaller enhancements into version 10.2.
While there are obviously too many to mention here (you can check the release notes for the full list), here are a few examples.
- We've added the ability to purge the IM transaction history.
- We've added several forms of international support, such as support for Mexico Annex 24 and Malaysian GST tax requirements.
- We've continued to work on the phase out of ASImport.
- We are including integration with Kofax document scanning – so you can scan paper based documents and import the information directly into your Exact Macola system.
So that's Exact Macola 10.2 in a nutshell. As you can likely tell, we've had a busy first half of 2015. It's really exciting for us to be making so much progress from a product perspective – and I hope that you are excited as well around how Exact Macola 10.2 can make a positive impact on your business.

The Sunborn
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Gregory Benford
Narrated By: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle De Cuir, Richard Gilliland, Susan Hanfield
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Date: February 2015
Duration: 14 hours 42 minutes
The award-winning author of Timescape and Eater returns with a gripping new novel set in the same dynamic future as his wildly popular The Martian Race.
Their historic mission to Mars made Julia and Victor the most famous astronauts of all time. Now, decades later, they are ordered by the Consortium to Pluto, where they will rendezvous with another starship led by the brilliant, arrogant Captain Shanna Axelrod. Here, on the frozen ammonia shore of Pluto's methane sea, Shanna has discovered intelligent creatures thriving in the -300° degree temperatures. But even as their findings shift from the amazing to the inconceivable, the two crews must overcome their own intense rivalry to work together, for the most remote reaches of the solar system are filled with unimaginable wonders … and countless forces that will crush all human life.
"Benford is a scientist who writes with verve and insight not only about black holes and cosmic strings but about human desires and fears."—New York Times Book Review

Conor Benn recorded a second career victory over Cedric Peynaud, this time in much more convincing fashion as he boxed to a unanimous ten round decision to win the WBA Continental Welterweight strap.
Peynaud came out swinging from the get go, just like he did last December, and had plenty of success early doors. He was pressuring Benn, who was trying to slip and dodge, and scored a heavy left hand at the end of the first stanza to show that he was here to prove he was the better fighter.
In the second both men met head on and began to swing the heavy artillery, defying Benn's pre-fight prediction that he would box, and they swapped hard shots. Benn scored a big left in close and then a trade-off led to Peynaud falling to the deck. The referee, wrongly, ruled it a knockdown but Peynaud wasn't hurt in the slightest and ended the round on the front foot once more. Peynaud's decision to box southpaw seemed to throw any Benn gameplan out of the window, he looked almost torn between the idea of brawling or boxing.
Benn was too easy to hit and ate three successive right hooks in the third round as Peynaud continued to up the ante. It looked as though the Englishman hadn't learn his lesson from the first fight and was watching rounds slip away from him as his French opponent was able to score shots almost at will, Benn standing in range for far too long. But Benn started to find his own range in the fourth, hitting the body well, and it was becoming obvious that Peynaud's tank was a lot more emptier than it had been early on, the frenetic pace taking its toll.
Benn's timing was increasing and he landed a crisp right lead uppercut in the fifth before they re-engaged in a war centre-ring in the sixth. Both men had their success and Benn's defense was looking lax once more but he roared into life at the start of the seventh and a straight right to the body dropped Peynaud for an eight count. Benn was now in the driving seat and looked dominant fighting from range, his jab becoming a more prominent feature, as he pulled away from Peynaud down the stretch.
The Frenchmen senses the bout slipping away and marched forward to swing the fight in his favour, only to walk onto a peach of a right hand in the ninth that dropped him to one knee for another standing eight count. Benn was looking more relaxed and assured in his capabilities and although Peynaud fought valiantly until the final bell there was only one clear winner when all was said and done.
Benn was perhaps gifted a decision in December but he earned this one here tonight. He and his team will have to tighten up his defense, he cannot afford to take that many punches at a higher level, but at 21 years old and after only 13 pro fights (13-0 with 9 KO's) he still has plenty of time to develop into a true 147lbs contender. The two fights with Peynaud will have taught him so much about the pro game.
Scorecards read: 98-91, 98-90, 97-90
Joshua Buatsi wasted no time in ripping through Andrejs Pokumeiko, stopping the Latvian in the very first round of a scheduled eight to capture the vacant WBA International Championship.
Pokumeiko elected to stand in the centre of the ring and trade with Buatsi from the outset, perhaps bravely or foolishly, and was quickly undone. Buatsi hit a right hand to the body and then scored a left hook as Pokumeiko tried to duck out of range. Pokumeiko was buzzed and strated throwing shots in reaction, only to be dumped on the canvass by a right hand/left hook combo.
The Latvian rose and quickly went back into battle mode but was soon on the receiving end of a second and more sinister left hook from Buatsi, prompting the referee to spare Pokumeiko any more punishment.
Buatsi (now 7-0 with 5 KO's) has captured the first title of his professional career here but he is now ready for serious tests. He has proven his credentials, as an amateur and now professional, so promoter Eddie Hearn has to be directing him toward domestic level opponents at the very least.
Dave Allen knocked Nick Webb out in the fourth round of their British Heavyweight Championship eliminator, the biggest win of Allen's career by far.
Webb had dominated the fight up until the finish but in the Heavyweight division one punch truly can change everything and that was never more true than here this evening. This fight was made at short notice and there were those who questioned Allen's fitness, very few predicted him to win, but he silenced his doubters in the most shocking way possible, landing the picture perfect punch to reinvigorate his profession.
Webb, entering the bout undefeated, started well and was working excellently off his jab whilst Allen seemed happy to tuck up and absorb what was coming his way. Webb was looking to land heavy right hands to the head and body but nothing that seemed to be bother Allen, his granite chin on display once more.
Webb was starting to put combinations together, the straight right uppercut through the guard paying dividends, but Allen continued to press forward and force Webb to throw punches. The fight was following the same pattern through the third, Allen's occasional output looking telegraphed whilst Webb was able to keep him off using the jab.
But the fight turned in the fourth as Allen started to hit the body and then scored a big overhand right that finally caught Webb's attention. Webb continued to try and keep control but then another left hand to the body forced him to drop his hands and Allen swung a hail mary of right hand that sent Nick Webb crashing across the middle ropes. The referee should have waved it off immediately, Webb was done, but he gave the fighter the chance to recover only for Webb to stagger upwards on jelly legs before crashing to the deck.
Allen, who had talked about retirement before the fight, is one of the sport's most popular fighters and this victory will mean the world to him. Hopefully it inspires him to get into the gym and work hard ahead of what should now be a tilt at the Lonsdale belt.
Anthony Fowler scored a knockout of the year contender on Craig O'Brien in the sixth round of a scheduled eight at Super Welterweight. Fowler, an amateur standout, was facing the toughest test of his professional career so far but dominated the contest from start to finish before detonating a brutal left hook finish.
O'Brien was looking to frustrate Fowler with movement and occasional raiding shots but Fowler stalked cerebrally and attacked the body with precision at every opportunity. Fowler's key punches were the jab and then straight hand to the midsection and after the first couple of rounds the impact on O'Brien was already starting to tell, his arms dropping lower to protect his vulnerability. A left hook to the jaw in round three had O'Brien holding on and was a precursor to what was to come. A straight right in the fourth had O'Brien showing signs of discomfort and then another left hook as they traded punches in the fifth had the Irishman backing off. The bell sounded to start round six and Fowler moved quickly, dipping low and feinting, and then launched a ferocious hook that left O'Brien slumped on the bottom rope, prompting the referee to wave it off immediately.
Fowler's body punching was brutal, he barely threw toward the head in the first six months, and he showed patience to wear his opponent down. There were moments when Fowler looked a little ponderous however it was an overall impressive display and extends his unbeaten run to 7-0 (5 KO's). Championship bouts should now be on the horizon for former Team GB fighter.
Frank Buglioni returned to action, following his devastating first round loss to Callum Johnson in March, and got back to winning ways by forcing Emmanuel Feuzeu to retire at the end of the sixth round. Buglioni is looking to rebuild and push himself back into domestic contention so expect tougher tests for him next time out, this was more of a confidence booster. He did show a good range of punches in this bout, however, and his power was on point as per usual.
Charlie Duffield made it two wins for two from hometown fighters as he dispatched Reinis Porozovs inside the distance. Duffield, a southpaw Light Havyweight, is now 6-1 and has knocked out every opponent he has beaten thus far.
London's Richard Riakporhe took a six round decision over the seasoned Elvis Dube, in the opening bout, to extend his unbeaten record to 7-0 (5 KO's) in the Cruiserweight ranks.

On a cool autumn Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn, jazz vocalist Tulivu "Donna" Cumberbatch warmed the hearts and conjured up loving memories of days gone by at the historical Siloam Presbyterian Church's annual Women's Day celebration.
For this last day of September, one of the songs sung by Tulivu was a very appropriate "Autumn Leaves", accompanied by guitarist Eddie Bourjolly, whom we'll surely hear more from in the future.
Little doubt was left as to Tulivu's versatility when she sung "Useless Landscape" in Portuguese. It was very well received, even though most of the audience didn't know what the lyrics were saying. Tuliva could make a dog's bark sound great.
Giving a nod to our past in the church which was once a stop on the Underground Railroad, Tuliva sung the mournful spiritual, "I Want Jesus to Walk With Me."
During the intermission before the next group (the Salisbury Brothers) took the stage, we had an opportunity to talk with Tulivu about her musical family and performers who influenced her.
First, she was asked if she had a favorite ensemble. Tulivu thought for a few minutes, and said, "big band arrangements with the horns and trumpets screaming at you…I mean really playing such beautiful music…but the trio is much more intimate. I like the smaller settings because it's more intimate and you get a chance to express yourself and "stretch out" a little more as the musicians say. You get a chance to interact with the audience as versus the orchestra with so many pieces."
Tulivu's parents had a great impact on her musical career. She said, "Even though my father was the professional musician, my mother influenced me just as much. As a matter of fact, she wanted to be a professional, but my grandmother wouldn't allow it at that time. My mother sung to me all the Sarah Vaughn and Billie Holiday songs when I was 3 or 4 years old. She also sung in the church and still sings in the Siloam choir. So between my mother and father, they both influenced me."
Both parents loved jazz and her mother's favorite artist was Billie Holiday.
She continued reminiscing about her dad. "My father played baritone saxophone. He started out as an alto and switched to baritone. He played with Lionel Hampton and the Count Basie band…he freelanced with a lot of musicians. He traveled all over the U.S."
As mentioned earlier, Tulivu's favorite artists were Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday and Carman McCrae. She spoke about Carman at length and gave an example of her great
versatility when she performed her improvised version of Elvin Presley's "Love Me Tender." In one of her shows, they did a tribute to Carman McCrae.
Currently Tulivu is promoting her last CD with strings. And, she added, "I've been working with the Jazz Foundation for the past few months and they give us at least one or two gigs a month working with children. The Jazz Foundation sponsors us. We've been doing schools all over the five boroughs. That's a plus because our kids need to know this music." Contact Will Glass of the Jazz Foundation if you'd like Tulivu to visit your school.
Catch this truly great jazz songbird in concert – it's an experience you'll long remember.

You may find other interviews in which "Gotham" star Ben McKenzie discusses the decision to go from a critically admired cop drama ("Southland") to playing a very different sort of officer-of-the-law in FOX's "Gotham."
McKenzie has previously talked about the differences between playing a beat cop and a detective, though I think he does it extremely well in our video interview from last week.
You may find other interviews in which McKenzie discusses the difficulties finding resources on Jim Gordon's backstory and how that allowed him freedom.
I believe McKenzie has talked about his conversations with DC's Geoff Johns and the fact that Gordon won't be getting his trademark mustache any time soon, though he's very amusing in discussing it in this interview. ["At the end of the day, we all know a mustache on me would look ridiculous. It's only a look you can pull off later in your life," he explains.]
But I'm prepared to guarantee you with near absolute certainty that this is the only Ben McKenzie interview you'll watch in which the "Gotham" star promises that his new FOX drama won't follow in the footsteps of his previous FOX drama and dedicate an entire episode to singing the praises of L.A. rockers Rooney.
"If there"s a Rooney episode of 'Gotham," we"ve gone horribly, horribly astray," McKenzie told me with a laugh.
It's entirely organic. I promise.
Check out the full interview above and get McKenzie's thoughts on the workload of "Gotham," which focuses on his Gordon, as well as a nascent rogue's gallery of future "Batman" villains, plus a young Bruce Wayne. He also discusses the film noir touchstones for his interpretation of Gordon.
I think it's a really fun and interesting interview with an actor who is clearly committed to the project he's working on.
"Gotham" premieres on Monday, September 22 at 8 p.m. on FOX.

How do you feel about the gift buying season? Do you feel a conflict between a wish to shower your child with presents and your desire to be spiritual? Does that necessarily mean eschewing an abundant holiday? Can you find a balance between the two? Many of us enjoy shopping for our children; and while we are inundated with ads and sales enticing us to spend without limit we may start to question where buying presents, heaped upon presents, fits in with The New Spirituality.
As someone who relishes giving gifts, this is a question I have thought about at length. So, while I don't have the answer for you, God just might. Conversations with God makes clear that money, creature comforts and, yes, even material objects, are meant to be enjoyed, not feared or avoided. In the Old Cultural Story we were convinced that "virtuous" living meant going without. There was great honor bestowed for doing what you loved and expecting little pay in return; why else would the helping professions require higher levels of education yet pay lower wages than, say, the sports or entertainment industry? It is only because we have tolerated it being that way.
CwG disagrees. No" virtue" is gained by denying yourself valuable pay for doing important work about which you feel passionate. Similarly, you don't have to deny your children abundance in order to curry favor with God; so the conflict, in the opening questions, is an illusion. The goal, then, becomes keeping those gifts and possessions in perspective – not allowing them to consume or define you (or your children) – and finding your value, inside of you, based on Who You Really Are, rather than by your material possessions.
A simple way to keep holiday gifts in perspective, within yourself, is to be conscious of the reasons you have for the amount of shopping you do. For instance, if you are living a life of love, it may not be most beneficial to give gifts intended to show others your wealth; instead it might be more beneficial to look at gifts as an opportunity to show the recipient love, while realizing that this is not the only possible way to show that love. Similarly, giving someone gifts because you are trying to get their love and affection might not be as beneficial to your growth as giving gifts because you wish to show your love to them. If you look at gift giving as an opportunity to compete, or to do more than others, rather than doing more for others than you have before, you might not be achieving the highest version of the grandest vision you hold about yourself. If you spend outside of your means, or what is comfortable, you may be causing yourself more stress. Whereas carefully picking meaningful gifts, which you can afford, might allow you to give with pure love rather than having fear, which accompanies spending "too much," attached to the gift. Being aware of your gift-giving intentions will allow you to demonstrate pure love to your child.
You can also, directly, help your child keep the holidays in perspective. One way is to remind him that he is a complete, worthwhile being; and that, in concert with the CwG concept, There is Enough, he is Enough just by his existence. Guide your child to an understanding and feeling of gratitude by encouraging her to write thoughtful thank you notes for gifts she receives. Encourage her to share with others by facilitating her in making small gifts for other family members. All of these can help the child understand that the material things are just that, things which we have…not things which we are…and that being Who We Really Are is actually the best gift we can give the world.
o really, as with all of The New Spirituality, there are no wrong actions, nothing you can do which offends God or makes you a "bad" person. There is only you and your opportunity to embrace gift giving as one way (not the only way, and not even the most important way) to share your abundance, to express Who You Really Are, Who You Are in relationship to another, and your love for another; as well as, a chance to acknowledge your gratitude for the gifts (both physical and not) you have received. In this way, you can feel free to spend as much or as little as you choose, be liberated from the trappings of "keeping up with (or doing more than) the Joneses," and make educated decisions to spend what is comfortable for your family (whether that means zero or 100 presents) without guilt or fear of judgment, competition, or punishment. All the while, keeping in mind that your presence may be just the present your child desires!

Love is All About Biology
Love makes us all feel funny. That sense of giddy disorientation, unsinkable euphoria and total fixation with a brand-new love can be so overwhelming, that it's tough to envision it's all about feeling. While the results hardly make love less strange, they do start to shed light on why it can make individuals feel so amusing.
Helen Fisher, a research study professor of sociology at Rutgers University, is amongst numerous scientists who think the flush of a new love is improved by natural stimulants in the brain, norepinphrine and dopamine . "These are basic qualities frequently associated with romantic love and with these natural stimulants," she states.
Further studies reveal that gushy romantic experiences may be similar to the highs druggie feel when they're under the influence. Nora Volkow; the associate director for life sciences at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, has actually analysed the behaviours of drug addicts and individuals in love and found striking parallels. "When a person is passionately in love, it is very amazing and provocative , and if the enjoyed one is not there, stressful," states Volkow. "When I see my drug addicted clients, it just clicks with me how comparable the dependency is. "The truth that drug dependency and enthusiastic love may activate the exact same actions, signals to Volkow that drug dependency is particularly dangerous given that it take advantage of a natural experience.
She mentions that recent research studies reveal the very same areas of the brain consisting of the frontal cortex which is triggered when a addict is high when someone in love is looking at a image of a loved one. Scientists at University College in London recently recorded changes in the brains of individuals who explained themselves as "truly and madly" in love. The researchers, Andreas Bartels and Semir Zeki used a practical magnetic resonance imager to scan the brains of 17 lovehappy volunteers. When the team Website showed volunteers images of their fans, the outcomes were significant. 4 small areas of the brain lit up instantly the same locations that have actually been shown to react to euphoria-inducing drugs.
Old buddies, obviously, do not rather trigger the exact same stir. Fisher is conducting similar research studies and is scanning the brain activity of individuals newly in love.
As a lot of understand; however, the rush individuals feel from new love usually doesn't last forever. And Fisher is also interested in comprehending the biological stimulants and anthropological descriptions for top article all phases of love.
She argues that there are 3 main stages to a love relationship: lust, romantic love and accessory. The first, she says, is " to obtain you searching for anything at all" and is driven by hormones like testosterone.
The romantic love stage, which creates the brain chain reaction explained by the London additional resources researchers, serves to " require you to focus your mating energy on someone at a time."
And the fmal, less steamy stage of accessory is to guarantee that any children produced by a love match has parents a minimum of through its early years.
Research study reveals there may also be chemicals related to sensations of attachment. The animals instantly formed accessories when researchers injected a natural chemical called oxytocin into the mice. When they injected chemicals that block the impact of oxytocin, Fisher says; the mice "avoided their partners and acted like cads."
Recent research studies have zeroed in on the chemistry of love, exposing exactly what sort of chemical and neurological activities happen at different stages of animal and human relationships.
Love is boosted by natural stimulants to the dopamine, brain and noreinphrine .
Gushy romantic feelings much like the high of drug addiction.
Areas of the brain stirred when thinking of the liked one.
The phases of lust, attachment and love are affected by body

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has set the return on equity (RoE) for renewable energy projects at 14%.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has set the return on equity (RoE) for renewable energy projects at 14%. The post-tax rate, which will be valid for the period of FY18 to FY20, is two percentage points below the RoE set in the 2012 tariff regulations. The value base of the equity will be determined on 30% of the capital cost. The rate was calculated taking into account a market premium of 700 basis points over the prevailing six-month average government security rates. These tariffs would be applicable to projects in which tariffs were not determined by competitive bidding. Though various solar and wind projects have started taking the competitive bidding route, the process is not feasible for many smaller projects, mainly those belonging to the bio-mass and the small hydropower categories, owing to their lower generation volumes.
As on February, installed capacity of non-solar and non-wind renewable power was more than 14 GW. Overall renewable energy capacity stood at 52.8 GW. Solar and wind tariffs have recently touched new lows after taking the competitive bidding route. In the first ever tariff based reverse auction conducted in February, wind tariffs fell to Rs 3.46/unit. According to ICRA, feed-in tariffs for wind vary around Rs 4.16/unit to Rs 5.76/unit for wind power projects in states with high wind power generation potential.
Also Watch:
Final levelised tariff of Rs 3.15 per unit was discovered earlier this month for a 250 MW solar project in Andhra Pradesh. Companies such as Inox Renewables, ReNew Power Ventures, Hero Future Energies and NTPC had argued that lowering of RoE in renewable projects might discourage investments in the sector. Industry sources told FE that RoE for older wind and solar projects, with PPAs signed at higher tariffs, hover around 15% and 13% respectively.
The lowering of the renewable RoE has triggered speculations in the power industry that it might become the precursor to a potential fall of regulated returns for conventional utilities as well. The tariff structure for such projects are due in March 2019. Conventional power projects are currently mired in a lower electricity demand scenario, running at plant load factors which make it hard to service debts. Arun Kumar, an industry veteran who is now the CEO of Mittal Group, said in the CII renewable energy summit on Friday that the average RoE in the power sector stands at around 10%.

I´ve had enough "I'll do it later"
I´ve had enough "I´m too young…too old"
I´ve had enough "When the time is right"
I´ve had enough "but first I need this and that"
I´ve had enough with fear and self-doubt,
I know I can do this, God Knows I deserve it,
and I effing OWN it to myself,
my time is NOW.

I have to admit, every time I've heard or read about "self-love" I've rolled my eyes and thought that the subject itself was kind of lame, like for "losers" or people with low self-esteem. But the more I read about it and the more I practice it (in a conscious way), the more I realize that self-love is the KEY to success.
Yes, the secret ingredient of my grandma's favorite dish, "mole." Just think about it: when you truly love yourself in a conscious way, it goes beyond just thinking of yourself as a good-looking, attractive and intelligent human being (how I've felt almost my entire life). It is the kind of self-love where you close your eyes and you see and FEEL yourself as LOVE.You close your eyes and you can feel in your gut that you deserve whatever the heck you are trying to achieve, just because you are love and you can, period. It reminds me of Frida Kahlo's famous quote: "Feet? Why would I want them if I've got wings that let me fly?"
That self-love that I'm talking about is the one where you recognize not only yourself as that feeling of love, but you also recognize it in others. This goes beyond your ego, and believe me, it is POWERFUL. Much more powerful than you think. Have you ever wondered why someone you might think is not qualified enough for a job position suddenly gets the promotion? What if that person has it by the simple, yet powerful feeling of deservingness. Because when you feel this love I'm talking about, you also feel you deserve anything, and I know you do. But do you? What if what is holding you back is that, behind the excuses of "I don't have time," and "I need to learn this before I try it" or "practice more," there is actually a lack of self-love?
There is a theory that claims an entire mental hospital in Hawaii was cured just by transmitting love through a prayer called holo opono pono. Okay, maybe that is a little too crazy, too new age. But isn't it kind of logical that if you love yourself in a very deep sense it would be normal to receive all sorts of good fortune? As in, you don't need to do this, or be like this or that to deserve that job position or the kind of life you aspire to. And because of that attitude, you actually get the job and go get the life you aspire to. But please don't take my word for it. Practice self-love. It is not lame, it is POWERFUL.

Morning walk with the X100F
We spent our Saturday morning exploring our new surroundings since moving to a new apartment a few weeks back. I have basically grown up around these paths and it feels honestly really good to have so close to the forest and nature again. Our new place is perfectly located with just a few minutes to the central parts of Gothenburg and equally close to nature, truly the best of two worlds (and we are so happy and thankful!).
Anyway, we have been doing these morning walks (or any time during the day really) and most often I bring the X100F with me. Such a nice little piece of machine. Quiet too, perfectly blends in the quiet forests.

It's no secret that Bassnectar is against religion and most politics in general, but it's less often that we get a multi-day diatribe from him on the subjects.
Beginning with a tweet this past Saturday captioned "jesus hates republicans," Bassnectar began to expound his views on religion and politics, generally centering around the idea that religion is evil and only serves to brainwash people who'd rather not think critically for themselves.
He's careful to point out that he doesn't deny the existence outright of some "higher power," but rather decries the state of organized religion and its subsequent indoctrination of followers.
Bassnectar speaks specifically of Christianity in his tirade, not making mention of more generally peaceful religions like Buddhism or Hinduism. Doing so angered many of his Christian fans, one of whom responded, "To insult my religion just because some people don't have the same views as you? I thought oh we're about love an acceptance? That's a shame. I have a basscenter ticket for sale."
Bassnectar responded to this fan, "I have zero respect for religion. It's nothing but monkey tribalism and cave man hocus pocus. Religion is anti love and anti peace. Sell the ticket man! Jesus is whispering in my ear that you're basic."
You can read his full criticism below.

Willy Wilcox first PGA player to officially sign contract with DraftKings
February 24, 2017 8:57 AM
by Robert Mann
Professional golfer Willy Wilcox is now the first PGA player to officially sign a contract with a fantasy sports site by inking a deal this week with DraftKings, the fantasy sports gambling website. The deal requires Wilcox to appear at some private functions including golf outings.
Players are not allowed to wear gaming company logos, appear in commercials for gaming companies or have endorsement deals with them by order of the PGA.
Wilcox's agent says he won't have a DraftKings logo on his bag or apparel, and is in no way "endorsing" the company, reports Golf Digest magazine.
Golf Digest notes that it's possible the PGA Tour will soon re-examine its rules because all four major sports leagues – the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL – already have agreements with either daily fantasy website DraftKings or Fan Duel.
Wilcox, 30, is a Birmingham, Alabama native. He played college golf at University of Alabama at Birmingham and Clayton State University He was a three-time All-American, but has yet to win on the PGA Tour. He has been victorious on the Canadian Tour.
