I need to check a pattern against some text (I have to check if my pattern is inside many texts).
This is my example
String pattern = "^[a-zA-Z ]*toto win(\\W)*[a-zA-Z ]*$";
if("toto win because of".matches(pattern))
System.out.println("we have a winner");
System.out.println("we DON'T have a winner");
For my test, the pattern must match but using my regexp does not match. Must match :
" toto win bla bla"
"toto win because of"
"toto win. bla bla"
"here. toto win. bla bla"
"here? toto win. bla bla"
"here %dfddfd . toto win. bla bla"
Must not match:
" -toto win bla bla"
" pretoto win bla bla"
I try to do it using my regexp but it does not work.
Can you point me what I'm doing wrong ?

text: Home > Lifestyle > Ageing well > Anti ageing Updated 27 January 2016 10 fascinating facts on ageing Here are ten fascinating facts about ageing and the human body. Check how many of them you knew. 0 Related The process of ageing Anti-ageing on a plate How your body will age Sign up for the newsletter » Quiz How long will you live? » Ask DietDoc » Ask CyberDoc » Doesn't the years just fly by?! It seems as if you were a youngster just the other day but you're celebrating another birthday and those wrinkles are settling in. You may want to brush up on what you know about your ageing body.Here are ten fascinating facts about ageing and the human body:At birth, we are generally born with 350 bones in our skeleton, as we grow and age, bones fuse together resulting in us only having 206 bones as adults.Babies only have about 250 mls or one cup of blood circulating through their bodies. An adult human has about four litres which the heart pumps to all the tissues and to and from the lungs in about one minute while beating 75 times.We shed on average 600,000 particles of skin every hour. As we age, that accumulates to to approximately 1.5 pounds each year. The average person will therefore have lost around 105 pounds of skin by 70 years of age.Interestingly, the brain and nerve cells are the only cells in the body that cannot regenerate. Once brain cells are damaged they are not replaced.Because of this fact, we are born with all our brain cells and the human head is one-quarter of our total length at birth but only one-eighth of our total length by the time we reach adulthood.As we age our breathing rate slows down and its interesting to note that children and women breathe faster than men do. A person at rest usually breathes between 12 and 15 times a minute. By 60 years of age, we start to have difficulty breathing and 60-percent of men and 40-percent of women will begin to snore when sleeping. Snores average around 60 decibels, the noise level of normal speech but often reach more than 80 decibels. Eighty decibels is as loud as the sound of a pneumatic drill breaking up concrete. Noise levels over 85 decibels can damage the human ear.As adults, we eat on average 500kg of food per year, and we produce 1.7 litres of saliva each day to help us process this food. Every day 11.5 litres of digested food, liquids and digestive juices flow through the digestive system, but only 100ml is lost in faeces.To digest all of that, the body produces a new stomach lining every three to four days to ensure that the strong acids used by the stomach to digest food, doesn't also digest the stomach. Adjust your eating plan as you ageWith increasing age, nutritional requirements tend to change as well.Diets designed for older people should contain more high quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients and dietary fibre per kilojoule of energy than ever before. There is no room for 'empty kilojoules' in your diet as you age.Each food that is included in the diet of older people must be rich in protective nutrients to ensure maximum nutrient intake.

Yah i know, but I mean I did even warn you in the text below the video. Unfortunaltely you cannot make up anything longer by just using those stereotypical scenes, so I had to think of some story which leads the animation. But for me as the author its more fun to do those scenes than having to follow a vertain story and that's why I'm stuck on short things like this.

We stayed at the Hotel Encanto as one of our friends was getting married in Las Cruces and had the reception at Encanto. The rooms were big, which was nice as we needed a rollaway bed. The showers were a bit small, I am only 5'6" and I hit my head on the shower head. My husband and son are over 6' so the shower was very short for them. We loved that Garduno's restaurant is in the lobby. Overall we had a great experience.

|"Eternals" #1 on sale now
Superheroes are not a recent phenomenon in the Marvel Universe. Created by the legendary Jack âKingâ Kirby, a race of super-powered beings called The Eternals have used their fantastic abilities to safeguard and protect humanity for many thousands of years. A new age begins for these heroes this week, as the first issue of the ongoing âEternalsâ series hits the stands courtesy of writers Daniel Knauf & Charles Knauf and artist Daniel Acuña. CBR News spoke with the Knaufs about the series.
The Knaufs began working for Marvel when they took over âIron Man: Agent of Shieldâ with 2005âs issue #7. When Marvel offered the father-son team a crack at the Eternals, they eagerly accepted. âThe narrative in âIron Manâ is kind of a straight line and the 'Eternals' is a little bit more of an organic narrative. Youâre moving from one situation and one set of characters to another,â Daniel Knauf told CBR News. âWe thought that was good because what we really wanted was a change up from âIron Man,â which is hard science and very rooted in political and geopolitical reality. So we thought this series will be nice; we can move over and do a completely different thing.â
âEternalsâ is an ensemble book that picks up many of the characters and concepts used in the recent Eternals graphic novel by writer Neil Gaiman and artist John Romita, Jr. At the end of Gaimanâs story, the character of Makkari had begun to communicate with the Dreaming Celestial. In the ongoing series, their relationship continues and has elevated Makkariâs status among his fellow Eternals. âHeâs kind of a reluctant religious figure,â Charles Knauf said. âAnd heâs kind of fallen into this power. Originally, he was more of this happy go lucky speedster and all of sudden heâs been given this role as savior and conduit between the Space Gods [a term often used to describe the Celestials] and the rest of planet Earth. Youâll see some interesting stuff with him.â
|"Eternals" #2 on sale in July
Daniel Knauf added, âItâs like a situation where they ask for volunteers and everybody takes ones step back and youâre left standing out there alone. I think he was chosen and really this relationship is between him and the Dreaming Celestial, whoâs rejected Ajak for reasons unknown.â
The Dreaming Celestialâs rejection of Ajak has had a profound psychological impact on the Eternal. âIn a lot of ways the story of Ajak and Makkari is a retelling of the story of Cain and Abel, in that Cain had been making all these sacrifices and just canât seem to please his god,â Daniel said.
âAjak spent his life learning to understand the complexities of the Celestial Mind. We explain that the Celestials just canât talk to anybody because the language alone would destroy the average brain. So Ajak has invested incredible amounts of time into learning the discipline of how to deal with the Celestials and all of a sudden they just shut up on him,â Charles stated. âIf you notice, Makkari is a little reluctant in his new role but itâs also like a drug. Youâre seeing these amazing things that no one has ever seen before and all of a sudden for Ajak thatâs gone.â
âEternalsâ isnât the only comic book in which Ajak is featured. In the recent âIncredible Herculesâ #117, which ties into Marvelâs âSecret Invasionâ event, Ajak joined Herculesâs âGod Squadâ and set out to take on the deities of the Skrulls. âThe writers have been keeping in touch with us and weâve loved what theyâre doing,â Daniel remarked. âThey told us what their through line is and we suggested things like, âThis might be out of character or voice for this character or you might want to give this bit to somebody else.â But you donât want to constrain their creativity and for the most part theyâre doing their own thing and just checking in with us to make sure everything makes sense as a unit. Itâs been a freaking love fest!â
|EXCLUSIVE: Pages from "Eternals" #2
Makkariâs relationship with the Dreaming Celestial is also a cause for concern for his lover, Sersi. âSersi is an interesting character because remember when Gaimanâs story left off, she was still almost in doubt about being an Eternal. Sheâs slowly realizing again that she is an Eternal and has these responsibilities,â Charles said. âBut she was with Makkari before she became an Eternal again. So there is a conflict there and sheâs very concerned about Makkariâs wellbeing.â
Daniel added, âGiven Sersiâs past interactions with the Avengers and humans in general, sheâs kind of gone native in a way and is more individuated than other Eternals. Sheâs not much of a team player and her feeling is that sheâs watching the slow destruction of the man she loves. Our emotional through line with Sersi is, imagine if somebody you were deeply committed to and in love with became a heroin addict. Youâre just watching that slow degeneration and fighting like hell to stop it from happening but to stop it from happening is to condemn humanity to oblivion. So she of all the characters she is probably the most conflicted.â
The Eternal Thenaâs major conflict springs from her dual roles as Eternal and mother to her human child. âWhen the rubber meets the road thereâs only one thing on the planet that supersedes her role as guardian of humanity and thatâs her son,â Daniel explained. âI donât think sheâs used to it and I donât think sheâs comfortable with it but sheâs a fiercely protective mother.â
|EXCLUSIVE: Pages from "Eternals" #2
Ikarisâs chief conflict stems from his position of power. As the Eternals chief warrior, he wants to solve the problems they face as quickly as possible, but his hatred of his fellow Eternal Druig, who in Neil Gaimanâs âEternalsâ chose to abandon his role as protector of humanity, often blinds Ikariâs ability to make decisions.
âIn a way, Druig and Ikaris are two sides of the same coin,â Daniel said. âDruig is tired of raking out the monkey cage. He feels like a zoo keeper. Itâs like, âThey keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Theyâre bent on destruction!â As an Eternal Druig is having a bit of an existential crisis but at the same time heâs saying, âLook thereâs something better for us. He is a visionary in a lot of ways,â
When âEternalsâ begins, most of the cast sees Druig as a villain, but thatâs not how he sees himself. âMy personal philosophy on writing villains is that when they look in the mirror they see a good guy,â Daniel explained. âCharlie feels the same way. So when we write Druig, his motives have to make sense from a heroic stand point. They might be subverted or twisted but there is a heroic sense to what he wants to do. I think he sees himself as a type of Moses leading the Eternals from Bondage.â
|"Eternals" #3
Thenaâs father, the Eternal Zuras, and her human son Joey are two important members of the supporting cast of âEternals.â âOnce upon a time Zuras was Ikaris. He was that hairy chested guy who threw lightning bolts,â Daniel remarked. âBut heâs reached a point where heâs gotten more and more into the life of the mind; studying, learning, reading and focusing on intellectual pursuits. Heâs leaving that other world behind. So in a lot of ways with Zuras, we have a guy who if there was a mandatory retirement age for Eternals, heâs past it. Heâs really kind of lost his zest for life. So really the story of him and Joey is finding that spark again through someone like your grandson. Suddenly you find yourself reengaged and seeing the world through their eyes and getting a vicarious sense of how wonderful things are.â
The enigmatic Dreaming Celestial is also a very important part of the supporting cast of âEternals.â âThe interesting thing about the Dreaming Celestial is that heâs sort of been out in the dark for so long and later on weâll reveal exactly what happened to him,â Charles said. âHeâs been in the dark for so long that heâs taking the time to get himself up to speed on whatâs been going on with the world. Thatâs why Makkari is so terribly important to him. Heâs a conduit. The Dreaming Celestial needs to talk to somebody on the ground.â
âThe Dreaming Celestial understands thereâs a quid to the pro quo,â Daniel added. âReally in a way itâs almost insidious. Itâs very manipulative in that heâs unveiling these cosmic secrets to Makkari and drawing him in and furthering his addiction.â
One of the cosmic secrets the Dreaming Celestial unveils is the threat of the Horde. âThe Horde serves a vital function in the cosmos. Theyâre the scrubbing bubbles,â Daniel explained. âWhereas the Celestials are the ones who get the ball rolling, the Horde ends things. The Celestials are planters and the Horde are reapers. Theyâre both on opposite, opposing sides and yet theyâre united in a very important way.â
|The Knaufs' and Acuña's "Eternals" series expands on characters and concepts featured in the "Eternals" collection by Neil Gaiman and John Romita, Jr.
The Horde and the Celestials are united in that they both serve the mysterious entity known as the Fulcrum. âYouâll get an explanation of the Fulcrum more in the second arc,â Charles said.
Daniel added, âAnd as far as the Fulcrumâs motives, everything that seems so pointless does have a point. It may not be the point anybody expects, likes or respects but there is a point.â
In Neil Gaimanâs âEternals,â it was established that the renegade Eternal known as Sprite altered reality and made all the earthbound Eternals forget their true identities. The opening arc of the Knaufâs series picks up with this plot thread and finds Druig and the Olympian Eternals racing around Earth trying to wake up more of the âsleepingâ Eternals.
âDruig is gathering Eternals for his own purposes which we havenât really revealed and the Olympians are gathering their Eternals to fight the Horde. Druig is just doing it faster,â Daniel stated. âHe seems to have a really solid line on how to locate them. Thena has said, look weâre not going to just jolt these guys because it messes them up. We want them to have an element of free will. We want them at 100%. They canât be automatons. Whereas Druig is kind of like one those Japanese game shows where they bring a cannon into the bedroom! He blows these guys out of bed and just indoctrinates them so they really donât have any sense of who they are. They think, âIâve always been on this guyâs side and heâs always been my master and I do whatever he says.â Over the short term that will probably serve him because Druig is a short term planner. Heâs got his plan and he knows what he wants.â
In the first arc of âEternals,â older Eternals like The Forgotten One and Phastos are reintroduced and a brand new Eternal named Legba makes his debut as well. âLegba is so weird because we did all of our homework on the Eternals and for some reason we came up with Legba as an Eternal,â Daniel laughed. âWe ran him past editorial and they were like oh yeah heâs an Eternal. Than later on we weâre looking him up and we couldnât find him. Turns out there is a Legba but heâs a Voodoo God. So weâre like, âWell that counts as an Eternal!ââ
|Jack Kirby's original Eternals stories are available in this collected edition
The opening conflict in âEternalsâ is between Eternals themselves, but that doesnât mean the book will exist off in its own isolated corner of the Marvel Universe. âYouâll see a lot of heroes from the Marvel Universe because itâs one of our marching orders, and hell, weâd be doing it anyway. [We will] take every opportunity to try and tie it into the Marvel U,â Daniel said. âIn the first few issues, theyâre interacting with both Iron Man and The Order.â
The Knaufs have been blown away by the artwork Daniel Acuña has produced for âEternals.â âWhat I love about Dannyâs style is that it feels so familiar,â Charles said. âIt feels like Kirby especially in the way he draws the characters and their faces but itâs still his own style. Itâs an amazing style that serves the book well and Danny is great to work with.â
In terms of tone, the Knaufs wanted to achieve a couple of goals with ââEternals.â âWe really wanted to get that sense of breathless awe that Kirby brought to the party so well,â Daniel said. âWe also wanted some humor as well. We want this to be fun. It needs to be fun. If Kirby was one thing he was really fun. We picked up the âEternalsâ omnibus and read through the whole thing. It just knocked my eyeballs out. It was really my personal introduction to Kirby. I knew he was a legend but I really hadnât read him. He brought so much life and almost this sense of cackling, gleeful wonder to every page. Every single panel something is happening or something is just about to happen. You just get a sense as youâre reading it of hang on for the next page! We both totally dug that. In a lot of ways this whole thing has been about trying to channel Jack Kirby.
ââEternalsâ not a funny book but itâs a little bit lighter than I think Gaimanâs was. Gaimanâs was a little bit darker and more serious. Ours is a little more brightly colored and that was important to us because the Mandarin story [which the Knaufs wrapped up in âIron Man: Agent of Shieldâ #28] was so relentless. Story-wise, weâre working with the bones of Gaimanâs story and picking up where he left off, but tonally and spiritually if we weâre going to write a big thank you it would be to Kirby.â

The demand is there for locally grown food - Hawaii Editorials
There are 18 comments on the Honolulu Star-Bulletin story from Jan 3, 2010, titled The demand is there for locally grown food - Hawaii Editorials. In it, Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports that:The thought that Hawaii could produce enough food to feed its human inhabitants comes up from time to time.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
#1 Jan 3, 2010
Hawaii need to be independant on it self. Grow staples, raise staples and produce staples. This way, with locally grown and raised products will lower cost. Grociers won't have a reason to say, "because it comes over water." Hawaii government should take a look at other states that produce foods that feed the country and follow their example of how it's done. Then fund those that are into farming to get them started and not worry about putting it in their pockets. Maybe then, Hawaii will be independent on it self.
#2 Jan 3, 2010
the "Southern Californa" development model will take us near disaster
in common with so cal is the growing overload of people taking govt services and not contributing
and we have a tax and fee structure that will soon grow to so cal levels
but unlike so cal, we lack proximity to cheap agriculture and we have no diversity in our economy
there is a high risk that the path we are on, is one of deterioration of our quality of life --- agriculture is but one component of this
we would have to be a bunch of nutcases to turn west oahu into Orange County, without asking whether there is sufficient economic engine to sustain life under that model
of course, if you question the machine, they will start throwing the nutcase bombs at you --- but they should know that in 2010, we won't be crawling into any holes --- there is too much at stake to run from nutcase propaganda and hate
#3 Jan 3, 2010
Congratulations to Cynthia Oi on starting the new year with another of her wacky editorials. The claim that pre-Western contact Hawaii supported a population of one million has been around for awhile. It is a politically motivated theory designed to show that if there were many more Hawaiians to begin with then Europeans must therefore have caused the deaths of greater numbers of Hawaiians than previously thought. That makes Europeans look even more evil - which is the whole point of the "research." The other goal is to make Stone Age Hawaiians look like a superior culture. That's meant to keep you from considering other aspects of their culture like slavery, human sacrifice, gender discrimination, incest and polygamy.
I can think of a couple of reasons to doubt the study right off the top of my head. First, if pre-contact Hawaiians were really so well-fed and happy then why was there near constant warfare between different groups? Warfare is usually about competition for scarce resources so if there was plenty of food to go around then why all the fighting? Second, if local waters are now all fished out even though there are plenty of other things to eat then how did the Hawaiians support a population of one million when there weren't many other protein options besides fish? There were only so many fishponds and those weren't particularly big. Can the researchers show other places around the world where Stone Age agriculture supported a population density of the size they are claiming? If not then I doubt Hawaiians were magically able to achieve something nobody else could.
As for growing all our own food now, Cynthia hasn't really thought this one out. Native Hawaiians had a very limited diet compared to what modern Americans are used to. There's no way Cynthia or most other people would settle for eating the same thing every day. In order to produce locally the variety of food we now eat, a lot of supplies and equipment would have to be imported from the mainland. That's a very expensive undertaking. Who is going to work growing all those crops? Farming is not easy work - many of Hawaii's current agricultural workers are brought in from elsewhere. How does Cynthia plan to create the workforce necessary to grow all our own food? Yes, I agree it would be nice to grow more food locally. But I think Cynthia is smoking too much of Hawaii's leading agricultural product if she thinks Hawaii can produce all the food we need.
#4 Jan 3, 2010
She doesn't. The left always dreams pleasant thoughts but never has any concrete answers and never is willing to risk their own wealth to create what they are dreaming and sometimes demanding that the tax payers fund.
The Plantation Asian state government has UN-zoned agriculture lands in Hawaii for the past 50 years. They continue to do so.
#5 Jan 3, 2010
Supporting large numbers of people with food will take more water than is available now. In Kona, Kahala, Kihei, Lahaina, on Lanai, Molokai, Kaho'olawe, Oahu and Kauai there are dry stream beds with 'river rocks'. The weather patterns combined with trees/plants provided a lot more water in the past. Cutting down all the sandalwood trees and forests has made it very difficult, if not impossible (without desalination plants) to provide food as they could in the past.
#6 Jan 3, 2010
but there is no shortage of water for golf courses and new homes --- explain that
#7 Jan 3, 2010
The plantation Asian Democrats have always got more money via development than from farmers.
Upzoning ag land equals campaign contributions not to mention profits from land huis.
Read Land and Power in Hawaii.
#8 Jan 3, 2010
Hawaii can start by using existing AG land to grow food Hawaii can eat. Not GMO seeds grown in Waialua, Kunia and Ewa the GMO scientist do not even eat. These Chemical Corporations are using Hawaii AG land as a testing ground for the extended use of thier chemicals in the earths Human Food supply.
#9 Jan 3, 2010
Hey cynthia why do they hire you to write these stupid editorial with no basis.
do you just read some letters from people who write to you and say there were more food produced 500 years ago in Hawaii than today?
were there any documentations of the channels of distribution, if there isn't any evidence then there were no food source grown for a population of 1 million people
We had a good alternative to expanding our island ag resources and what did the enviornmental wackos do to the super ferry that was a viable source for our neighbor island ag business? these s t u p i d wackos stopped it.
I can't believe cynthia Oi keep writing these false editorial with no actual facts and expect people to read it and believe this garbage
be a sheep
vote demo C R A P
#10 Jan 3, 2010
Thanks, Cynthia, another thoughtful column. Reading the mostly ignorant responses, I can see that the limited intelligence and the greed for more profit over sustainability is why this hasn't occured. Go into any supermarket and observe that most of the food is unhealthy processed products. Why any parent buys pop or can juices for their family instead of making their own juice or encouraging the eating of fresh fruits, is something I hope that people will consider.
#11 Jan 3, 2010
It's the ignorant "no can" crowd that keeps good ideas from going forward.
Cynthia isn't the one who came up with the notion that Hawaii has the ability to sustain a population of one million. Experts who know their stuff do.
The people making rude comments know next to nothing and are merely voicing assumptions based purely on personal or political bias.
#12 Jan 3, 2010
Not everyone claims that all Hawaiians were happy. Lots of them weren't but there wasn't much choice. It was comply or die.
Warfare was about taking control some of the most productive lands available: That included Oahu and Kauai.
Local waters are heavily fished because there isn't a strict kapu system like there was before. Break a kapu, and you get taken out.
Much of the pelagics are now being exported. It wasn't that way a couple centuries ago. If it weren't for exporting fish (tons of it every day) there would be more than enough to go around for Hawaii residents.
A lot of the fisheries have been damaged by dredging and runoff. Ala Moana Beach had a coral reef that was completely wiped out by dredging. Magic Island didn't exist. The Reef Runway and the area around Honolulu Harbor (and buildup of Sand Island) also covered more reef. The construction of Hawaii Loa Ridge, the creation of the lagoons at Ko Olina, and other projects dumped tons of silt into littoral waters that killed off huge swaths of reef. No reef means no fish.
And as for fishponds, you have no idea how extensive they were. Hawaii Kai was a huge fishpond system. It's now covered by houses. The entire coastline had fishponds of varying sizes. Wailupe Circle: that was a fishpond. Pearl Harbor was a huge wetland. Most of Kaneohe Bay's fishponds are gone.
And Hawaiians did have other protein sources: domesticated animals including pigs and dogs.
Again, you're making statements with no real knowledge of what it was like. You're looking at a transformed modern Hawaii. Much of what was is now gone. Even scholars are only now discovering remnants of old agricultural lands. It was much more extensive than anyone thought.
It's possible to provide a lot more locally grown food and avoid having to ship a lot of it in from more than 2,500 miles away. Just have to put creative minds to work on finding solutions.
Sitting around whining "it can't be done" will get us nowhere.

This editorial is schzophrenic in that the writer says there is no chance of changing the socio/economic system here in Hawaii, and then waxes on about all the great food grown here.
The editorial fails to consider that the Federal government is approaching bankruptcy and money from Washington will disappear when the Chinese and Saudi Arabians decide that they no longer will accept U.S. IOU's.
In the future, I believe that growing your own food will not be debated by Utopian tree hugger dreamers and perpetual-economic-growth at any environmental costs warriors - home grown food, in the future, will be a necessity.

I think you are right about: "Just have to put creative minds to work on finding solutions."
I was responding to Cythia's implication that if a million Hawaiians could support themselves, a million people here today should be able to- like they did.
It would probably be a good goal to work toward self sufficiency here.
Jojo could end up right too, about not having a choice some day (no fuel for ships or planes would do it).

Can anyone who supports Cynthia Oi name another place where "experts" claim that a Stone Age agricultural society could produce enough food to support modern population levels? Were other Pacific islands supporting population densities comparable to the one million people supposedly living in Hawaii before Europeans arrived? I haven't heard this claim made anywhere else. For example, the native population of North America before Europeans arrived was much smaller than it is now. Why should we think Hawaiians were any more successful in producing food without modern technology?
Based on Oi's history of nutty assertions - she once claimed that the neighbor islands have all the major military bases - readers would be well-advised to exercise a little skepticism when she says things that sound dubious. Maybe she'd like to share with us the study she's relying on for her information. Then we'd have a chance to judge for ourselves whether it makes any sense. Too many of you simply accept what Oi has to say without question.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, there wasn't one million people concentrated anywhere -- even New York, Tokyo, London.
Supporting a large population requires advance technology -- to remove waste, for one thing -- which modern day Hawaii still hasn't figured out.
The major rationale for everybody to raise their own vegetable patch -- including turning their yards into gardens is that people in Hawaii have lost touch with reality and thus make the most absurd BS statements thinking they'll never be called to account -- that there was this marvelous mythical Hawaii culture thriving in the Pacific -- that has left no traces of any enduring infrastructure -- like the aqueducts of Rome, pyramids of the Aztecs, etc.
The soil in Hawaii is barren in most of the Islands because people don't know how to compost and nurture anything -- and the people think the only thing they can do is sign wave their legislators for more money -- as the only thing they can do -- which is to manipulate other people's thinking.
Thus, they need the actual experience of producing something tangible instead of BS -- which when they are caught at it, humiliates them in the company of thoughtful people.
I doubt that most people will be able to produce their own food -- but they reconnect with basics, of caring and nurturing something -- instead of relying on their congresspeople to "Give them more money."
Hawaii has no industry or productivity -- which has even become a bad word to the many bureaucrats and union people who insist that there is no such thing as productivity and merit -- and all that their is is the ass-kissing and overconsumption without consequences.
It's a tribal, pre-industrial mentality -- that can't support a large population without breeding rats faster than people and homelessness? What do you do with the problems of crowding? Today there are high rises, which is something different from a million in grass shacks -- with no sewer system.
A productive society is what an education system should be producing -- instead of countless drones who think they should demand something for nothing, and are totally reliant on the productivity elsewhere.
People living in urban areas have also bone back to vegetable gardening as a first step to reconnecting with the basics of life. And that's the most important thing to get out of that cultivation -- that relationship with cause and effect, industry and productivity -- and not just simply, who can eat the most plate lunches and get away with the greatest BS.

3. Re-create your world, or your ancestors' world, so readers can visualize places, styles, attitudes and such. This requires some research, but it is a fun part of the process, says Thurston. You can look at old newspapers, go online, look at scrapbooks. "Try to create everyday life in that time. Look at what was going on in the world. Find things that were a cause for specific actions."
4. Write at the gut level, revealing how your experiences affected you, and infusing your story with warmth and humanity. "Sometimes we are afraid to do that. We're told not to air our dirty laundry. Some people also think that admitting weaknesses may give their children permission to do the same," she says. "But if you appear human, you will touch your readers more."
Talk about how you felt when things happened, how events shaped you, she says. Talk about lessons you learned.
"One of my students taught engineering at a university, and he said it well: 'My children only know me after I reached success. What I want them to know is how hard it was to get there.' "
5. Keep your readers turning pages by applying the techniques used by suspense writers. If you are talking about a crisis, don't reveal what happened right away, says Thurston. "Let your readers experience it with you. Most books try to end chapters on an exciting note, so you will keep reading."
6. Begin with a bang, with an opening that makes readers think, "This is going to be a great story!"
People often start with the backstory, she said. "It's better to start with a big event than with everything leading up to it. You can add that later. When Sheri Dew wrote the biography of President Hinckley, she didn't start with when he was born. She started with the press conference announcing he would be the next church president."
Family history has become a very popular pastime in recent years, says Thurston. She has been teaching for 15 years, "and I'm amazed at how much interest there is in doing it. But it is such a satisfying thing to do."
Most people want to write for their descendents, so those people will come to know them better. "But if you write a dull, lifeless story that no one wants to read," says Thurston, "that kind of defeats the purpose."

Product Description
If the legendary singer Amália Rodrigues is the queen of fado, the national song genre of Portugal, this debut by Mariza announces her coronation as its crown princess of the 21st century. This twentysomething, Mozambique-born beauty of Portuguese, Spanish, German, African, and Indian descent rapidly rose from the Mouraria district of Lisbon to become fado's newest and brightest star. The 12 selections on this recording are arranged in chamber-style ensembles consisting of bass, piano, classical guitar, and its 12-stringed, Portuguese cousin, the Portuguese viola. Songs like "O Gente Da Minha Terra" and the traditional "Por Ti" ring with a haunting feeling of saudade well beyond Mariza's years. "Maria Lisboa," "Ha Fest Na Mouraria" (with cellist Davide Zaccaria), and "Barco Negro" are peppered with Iberian and African-flavored percussion. Mariza sings these songs of love, God, and country with a youthful vitality that proves that fado is alive and well. --Eugene Holley Jr.

I don't understand the exact words she's saying, but her emotions and passion are loud and clear. "O Gente da Minha Terra" sounds very mournful and pleading, while not by any means melodramatic. The guitars and instrumentation on this album is masterful and adds to Mariza's beautiful voice many more layers of emotion. It sounds traditional (no "new-age" Yanni synthesizer crap) without being hokey. The bass (I assume it is a bass) in the beginning of "Por Ti!" sounds very American Jazzy. Whatever that means. What I'm trying to say is it doesn't sound too "old-World-y," like the only people who would listen to it are your mother or grandfather. Dude, it's really good. Don't deny yourself.
"Terra d'Agua"
I have trouble describing the layers of emotion I hear in this song. It's just freaking beautiful.
"Oica La O Senhor Vinho"
The beat of this song is awesome. It totally makes me think of going to Rhode Island for a weekend family reunion - I know, you're like "family reunions suck, Rhode Island sucks-" but dude, I'm talking about Portuguese-American cuisine here! Hell yeah! This whole album makes me feel so good. It makes me want to learn Portuguese.Read more ›
This album is extraordinary for the consistantly high quality of every cut. To hear Mariza sing the old favorites (like Barco Negro, Ha Festa da Mouraria and Maria Lisboa) was like hearing them afresh and for the first time. Her rendition of O Gente da minha Terra brings me near to tears every time I hear it, and the alternate cut with piano accompaniment (its not listed) was a revelation of how Fado can be both old and new at the same time.
Mariza brings a modern and respectful sensibility to an old genre that was looked on as music only "Old" people --such as myself-- listen to. A voice like Mariza's attracts both young and old listeners, as well as some of the best musicians in Portugal. This is a must have album whether you are a fan of Fado or not. Mariza is one of the great voices of the 21st century.
If you are going to buy just one foreign language recording this year, make it this one. I absolutely guarantee that you will enjoy and appreciate it as much after the fiftieth plyaing as you did after the first. I certainly have.

Rumors swirling that Mariners and Reds could be discussing trade that would send Jay Bruce and Zach Cozart to Seattle for Ketel Marte and Tyler O'Neill but for now it's just a rumor nothing more
Rumors swirling that Mariners and Reds could be discussing trade that would send Jay Bruce and Zach Cozart to Seattle for Ketel Marte and Tyler O'Neill but for now it's just a rumor nothing more
Rain has stopped and the tarp is coming off the infield. Cubs-Mariners game will resume at approximately 5:10pm. CST at Wrigley Field.
Athletics have only three choices with Rich Hill now not able to pitch on Sunday because of his blister: 1. Sell low (not happening with Beane in charge) 2. Trade for prospect and player to be named later with level of prospect based on how many starts he makes for assignee club or 3. Make 16.7m qualifying offer in off-season and hope he rejects it and get first round pick or if he accepts it ...hope he stays healthy enough to trade him at next year's trade deadline.
Rich Hill 18 GS '15-'16: 105 IP, 69 hits, 126Ks, 2.06 ERA, 201 ERA+. So yes, a legit candidate for $16.7m qualifying offer if not traded.
With the Cubs ahead 11-0, this just came up as an area of research in the pressbox: What is the minimum delay time before an umpire can call a game that has been delayed? According to Rule 4.03e, it's 30 minutes.
Although Zack Wheeler had tentatively been expected to face batters this week for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, that did not occur. Manager Terry Collins said there has been no setback with Wheeler. Regardless, it looks like Wheeler will be back no earlier than September -- if then. Once Wheeler throws batting practice for the first time, he still is about 10 days away from a minor-league rehab assignment that could last for as long as a month. Logan Verrett has capably stepped into the rotation spot formerly occupied by Matt Harvey as the Mets bide time for Wheeler to return.
Delay alert: They're unrolling the tarp at Wrigley Field with a steady drizzle falling. Cubs lead Seattle 11-0 headed into the bottom of the seventh.
From ESPN Stats & Info: The Cubs have their eighth game of the season with at least 10 runs. They scored 10 runs or more a total of eight times in 2014 and 2015 combined.
In promoting the lefty-hitting Brandon Nimmo, the Mets concluded they did not have an attractive righty-hitting option who could play center field. They considered promoting 27-year-old Travis Taijeron, who is hitting .297 with 15 homers and 73 RBIs in 347 at-bats with Las Vegas. But they were dissuaded because Taijeron has 122 strikeouts -- the third-highest total in the Pacific Coast League -- and might have difficulty making contact at the major league level.
No surprise with a righthander (Jake Odorizzi) starting for the Tampa Bay Rays tonight, but Alex Rodriguez is not in the lineup for the sixth straight game. Here's who is: Gardner 7, Ellsbury 8, Beltran DH, McCann 2, Teixeira 3, Gregorius 6, Castro 4, Headley 5, Refsnyder 9, Nova P
If Athletics can't find a suitable deal for Rich Hill over next 34 days, it could make sense for them to give him $16.7m qualifying offer.
Juan Lagares has been placed on the disabled list and will undergo surgery to repair the partially torn ligament in his left thumb. Terry Collins estimated a six-week absence.

The Mariners have inquired about Reds SS Zack Cozart. Not a perfect fit with Ketel Marte due back sooner than expected. But the M's are on both Cozart & Jay Bruce
ESPN's David Schoenfield says the Red Sox could just slug their way to a pennant.
Newly promoted Brandon Nimmo relays the story of how Wally Backman informed him of his second call-up to the majors and discusses what he learned during his initial stint in the majors.
Best No. 34: David Ortiz, Nolan Ryan with Astros/Rangers, Kirby Puckett, Rollie Fingers, Felix Hernandez and others. #ozzie2orel
Jason Heyward hit just his 5th home run of the season on Friday against the Mariners and first since June 11. His manager has wanted him to elevate the ball more which he did in the third inning homering to right field.
Best uni No. 33 & 34 in MLB history: 33: Eddie Murray, Larry Walker, Jose Canseco and many other good players. #ozzie2orel
Wilmer Flores reflects on the one-year anniversary of his near-trade to the Brewers, which unraveled after the Mets disapproved of Carlos Gomez's medical information.
