Hey! Nice picture of the blue bag @MissTilly! It's so exciting picking up the bag isn't it!!! and I hope you find the injections ok, they haven't been as bad as I was expecting. Give yourself some treats afterwards!
I went with the early evening for injections, just in case there were any early morning monitoring appts I had to rush to before work. I live close to where I work so I figured I can pop home and still go out after.
@tjuls I started orgalutran on Sunday, bought myself some ice cream snickers as a treat afterwards!! thanks @Billie2 for your advice on the orgalutran, it helped!
I've been stressing a bit about keeping the orgalutran at room temperature, as our apartment is ridiculously hot, but I've stuck it in our ground floor storage cupboard which seems to work and I have to go get a syringe each day so feel like a bit of a druggie!!
I had my first monitoring BT and ultrasound yesterday, and I have about 20 follicles each side apparently as I have pcos, so at risk of ohss, but apparently only 6 on either side are big which is good, apparently!
I didn't ask for any details of their size, when the nurse rang she was just explaining about reducing the puregon from 150 to 125. Orgalutran stays the same 250. Next monitoring appointment early Wednesday morning. Any predictions on when EPU will be for me?!
Got a bit of a sore throat which apparently is a side effect of puregon but otherwise ok. Bit worried about my protein intake as not very good at eating protein, but I'll try and fix that! And heard that eating salty stuff is good, but not sure if that's only after EPU. Any tips on that?!
@tjuls when do you think you might start? Hope you're doing well!!

@RainbowLorikeet - it sounds like its going really well and 20follicles on each side is ALOT! Hope most of them mature so u have a nice handful to bank. I have a friend who responded the same way and got her puregon reduced down to 125 and ended up with 11 fertilised embryos!
Let's hope u dont ohss otherwise u'll have to wait another cycle to do a transfer as I've heard they rather transfer when hormones are normal and body isn't stimulated
Lol@ druggie.. Everyone I know whose gone through ivf says the same thing.
I'm only guessing here but ur EPU could be on Fri or even mon if ur follicles continue to grow at this rate
Afm- af is due on Thurs (praying she comes on time) which means BT on Fri and injecting on sat..
Anyone else stimming soon? @Kookii dont u have an apptment sometime next wk?

Thanks @tjuls I'm going to definitely have to wait and do an FET as I have to have polyps removed in between, but the FS said it would have been an FET anyway because of pcos. I'm impatient, but it's such a little delay really and I don't mind as long as the FET works!!
Crossing my fingers for you on thurs and a smooth start!
Hope to hear lots of joyful BFPs from you all in the meantime! It's so wonderful to hear good news!

Any experiences with Primary Ivf?
Wow!! Go @RainbowLorikeet!!! You're totally nailing this stim business! Hopefully the time goes quickly for you between the egg collection and the FET! How exciting! Yeah, my blue bag is the perfect fashion accessory huh! Hehe! Will be handy for lunches and stuff though when I go back to work! : P
Feeling pretty proud of myself today, totally nailed the puregon pen this morning ~ hubby HATES needles and went pale while he watched me do it. I seem to get more confidence about myself when my husband struggles because I feel like I need to keep my sh*t together for both of us! Then went and had breaky in Surry Hills with my best friend. Perfect start to all this jazz I thought. So so far, so good. Wondering if I'll crash and burn within a matter of days though. Feeling pretty positive at the moment but completely get that there will probably be crappy days in amongst all this.
Sounds great @Billie2 ~ perfect distraction! Except this weather is starting to look a little rainy hey! Hope it passes quickly!!

Carnation (Rani) - Plant
The pack contains 4 seed packets as below
- Brinjal Seeds
- Coriander Seeds
- Chilli Seeds
- Squash Seeds
-High Quality 8 inch Plastic Pot with each plant.
-Offer Valid on orders with 3 or more Plants
Carnations instantly add colour to a garden. Whether you use them in a flowerbed, in a rock garden, in containers or as a border, the many available colour varieties will add ornamental value both indoors and out. Carnations have straight stems and can grow approximately 18 inches tall. These long-lasting plants have full, big blooms that give off a spicy fragrance that s hard to ignore. Begin by properly starting the seeds indoors. Start the seeds approximately six to eight weeks before the last frost date in your area.
Common name | Flower colours | Bloom time | Height | Difficulty |
Carnation, Chabaud Giant Model Mix Carnation | purple-pink flowers | in late spring and summer. | 3 to 5 feet | Easy |
Planting and care
Carnations are grown from seed. Carnation seeds can be directly seeded into your flower garden, or started indoors for transplanting later. If planting outdoors, sow them early in the spring. But, make sure the soil is not too wet.
When sowing seeds, cover lightly with 1/4 inches of fine soil. Space seeds or seedlings 12" apart.
If you are growing perennials, you can propagate them from cuttings or by division. Once your plants have been established, they can be propagated by separation in the fall.
Sunlight | Soil | Water | Temperature | Fertilizer |
Carnations need full sunlight, about 4-5 hours everyday. | Carnations thrive in fertile, well- drained, slightly alkaline (pH 6.75) soil. | Carnations do not require much water, except in the hot months.You must be careful not to make the soil too wet which can produce yellow foliage.You must spray water on the plants instead of splashing. | The optimum temperature for growing Carnations range from 50 - 59°F at daytime and 41- 46°F at night. | Add a general purpose fertilizer once or twice a month. |
- Insects and Diseases: Insect and disease problems are infrequent. If insect or disease problems occur, treat early with insecticides, repellents, or fungicide.Supporting Tall Carnations: You need to know ahead how tall each variety will grow in order to provide the right kind of support. The support should be set in place soon after planting, or as the plants emerge from the ground in the spring, so the stems will remain up.

Dr. Moncef Ladjimi, who received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France, served at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Paris, France, as Assistant Professor of Biochemistry (1988-1990) and Associate Professor of Biochemistry (1991-1996) before holding the academic rank of Professor of Biochemistry (1997-2010).
Before joining WCM-Q in August 2010, he was Research Director at the Laboratory of Enzymology of the CNRS at Gif sur Yvette, the laboratory of Biochemistry of the University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, and the Laboratory of Genetics and Cell Biology, University of Versailles. He has been Invited Professor of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at the University of Sfax, School of Engineering, Tunisia and Guest Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Guizhou, Department of Biochemistry, China.
Dr. Ladjimi has acted as reviewer and consultant to the Tunisian Ministry of Research and to various non-profit organizations in research and development (e.g., NATO, UNDP) and member of the Research Evaluation Committees of the CNRS.
Research in Dr. Ladjimi's laboratory has been focused on understanding how HSP70 molecular chaperones and their cochaperones help cells cope with stress in general, be it physical (temperature), chemical (environmental toxins) or physiological (neurodegenerative disease). Through the association of molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry, his work aimed at determining the structure of these proteins in solution and analyzing the relationship between structural aspects and functional aspects in resistance to stress and cell protection. Current research interests involve the modulation of aggregate formation by molecular chaperones in neurodegenerative disease and the molecular mechanisms of toxicity by environmental toxins as well as the research of biomarkers by proteomics.

Different Turn Of Events: Part 2
Fiction, Interracial, Male/Female
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Wed 19th of June 2013
In shock and disbelief I stood there, half topless and somewhat shivering but none of the mattered as the girl of my dreams, and who I wanted to see dead before my eyes was right in front of me.
"Hey Caleb…" She greeted me with a lovely but distraught tone.
"Hiii… What are you doing here?" Trying to sound mean and tough but it probably didn't sound like that.
"I heard you were in the neighborhood and I decided to stop by."
Well she was dressed casually and it was a pretty hot night. So she showed off a little more than you would in the fall or even spring time. She was dressed in a pink tank top, with her bra strap being just visible if you looked at a certain angle. It was covered by one of those big ass button - down shirts. And she was dressed in some jorts (jean shorts, yea that's a fashion) that may have rode a little too high up her leg. That's OK though it really accented her legs, even though she was still the size of a Hobbit… maybe a little taller. Either way she was showing a lot of skin which is fine by me. She still had that cute face from middle and high school. (I will thank pictures posted to Facebook for that.) But now it looked more womanly and mature. She had some dark mascara applied and some pink lip gloss which was shimmering under the bright lamplight. She still had her blond hair curly and falling down the sides of her face and some big blue eyes which made her even cuter. She still had some of her cute freckles in tact and some nice dimples. She had a very nice build too: she was developed in the places that mattered and not in places that didn't. I would say she held some DD's and an ass to die for. Not overly huge but not as flat as a cutting board either. Just the perfect size where you can cup that into your manly, black hands and hold it there… forever. She had a flat stomach and pretty decent arms if that matters.
"You haven't talked to me in 9 years, why the change of heart all of a sudden?"
"I – I… uh…" Rachel stammered
"Uhhh, uhhh" I mocked. "Just spit it out already!!!"
"Ok, ok… but can I come inside first?"
"Sure, where are my manners?" She may have been a discriminatory blonde bitch, but that is still no excuse for inhospitality. "Come in" I politely gestured.
She walked into my house and started observing the place. "Pretty nice house you have there." She started to look around in a 360 degree motion with facial expressions of approval.
"Thanks" I said with a mutual tone. "So, care to answer my question?"
"Uhhh, sure" As she finished the last word her face turned completely red… I felt compelled to snicker at this phenomenon.
"I came to you because I need you to help me." She said rather quickly.
"And why do you need my help?"
She then told me her story. After middle school when we went our separate ways, she was still seeing Lee. The piece of shit that I told you about and apparently she broke up with him because they we going to different high schools. And in high school, life got worse for her or so she says: she tried to get into relationships, but they always ended badly. Either the guy got too clingy or he was abusive. And since… like I said she acted like a bitch she did not really have any friends no one would really back her up. And the ones that were still her "friends" couldn't do nothing about it and eventually left her because that was affecting them and they didn't want to be a part of that
And to be honest as I was hearing all of this I was really pleased because the bitch got what she deserved. I was smiling most of the time until things got really tragic.
She met her last boyfriend and it started off good at first, but then of course, he was hiding something. And it was the one thing she was praying the he wasn't: you guessed it… abusive. And I mean VERY abusive. Everyday it would be the same thing: he comes home, yells at her, she tries to reason with him, and he beats her. She would usually go to be crying or at least whimpering with bruises on her body. Thankfully it never escalated to anything sexual, because she knew the he was fucking some other bitch behind her back. So he was usually done by the time he came home.
After hearing all of this shit, why does she not leave you ask? Well of course she is trapped: mind you that this is taking place in college and she is in debt after asking for money from the government… a problem most adolescents are facing. After her school debts, and the shitty job she is in where will she live? And that's where he comes in. So if you can put two and two together then you can see the rock and the hard place she is in.
This is currently her situation she is in and has been for 3 years now unfortunately.
After taking this all in, I really couldn't help feeling sad for her. As she was reciting the story, she started to brake down in tears and to be honest, there is nothing more depressing than seeing someone, especially a pretty girl cry.
"Oh, well that sucks… but how did you find me?" I interjected.
She was still sobbing at her tragic story. So I waited until she calmed down from her tears of despair to then ask her again. I did console her while she was crying. And while I did, I was telling her things like "don't worry" and "it's gonna be ok…" although I really did mean it. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment. I then noticed her healing bruises on her arms and her legs and I really did feel sorry for her.
And I did cop a feel of her ass while this was going on. It was by accident though: my arms were around her back and I bent down because my legs were actually falling asleep. So I did and my arms went down with me. I kind of held my breath after realizing what they were. I wasn't really sure if she noticed, but I had a feeling she did and I wasn't about to dwell on that. They were pretty nice and round though so it was probably worth it accident or not.
After she calmed down she started stuttering with her words and it became inaudible after the first five seconds.
"… and a-and t-the w-worst p-p-p-p part i-i-is" she stammered intensely.
"Hold on girl, calm down just take a breather for a second." I pleaded.
"S-s-sorry" She wiped her tears away and now I can ask my question.
"So, how did you find me after all these years?" I asked again.
"Actually was walking away from the fucker wondering contemplating suicide" she chuckled, but it didn't seem funny. "… and I actually thought I saw you driving from the fitness facility. I didn't see you at first, but I followed you. I wasn't sure how to talk to you."
"Ok…" Now that I was informed of her dilemma, there was only one more question to ask.
"So now what do you want from me?" I knew this was coming so I decided to take the first step.
"I…was…wondering if you can give me $500 for rent." She said or at try to say in the kindest voice available but I could smell the desperation behind that.
I gave her a puzzled look that lasted quite a while which was returned with a smile that still had desperation written all over it. And the smeared mascara and somewhat fading lipstick on parts of her lips was really not helping her cause. But I did have a couple of funds here and there and I thought I'd be generous.
"Hold on" I ordered and I went to my room and took a while to find 5 $100 bills. Meanwhile I completely forgot to close the porn tab I had before I greeted her at the door. So with her curiosity she looked at what I was on and it kinda shocked her that I was about to watch porn and the new tab I popped up and the minimization of the program did not help at all.
I had it tuned to interracial porn. Let's face it: who doesn't love to see a tight, young, white girl or MILF get her tight pussy pounded by a monster black cock? I know I was about to stroke my 8.5 inches to pure heaven. When I came downstairs I saw her eyes glued to the screen when she saw that big black dick pounding that white pussy and I could hear the moaning from the walk downstairs. I wasn't really sure what she was thinking, but the way her legs were moving I knew she was turned on by what was happening. Maybe she was wondering how big mine was…. I don't know.
"Enjoying yourself?" I asked.
She spun around quickly trying to minimize the tab with the porn site on it. And her frantic clicking at the mouse wasn't really helping. "Shit" she muttered under her breath.
I started chuckling at her state of surprise and embarrassment. "Don't worry your secret is safe with me."
"Ha ha very funny, I should say the same thing about yourself."
"Oh please, everybody knows that guys watch porn… at least more than females." I interjected.
"Uh uh," She retorted. "I know ALOT of girls who watch that shit. Some even showed me their dildo collection." She said with such confidence…
"Interesting… so do you watch porn?"
"Oh me? Well…well…pssshhh…" The redness that just left her face from prior embarrassment returned with a whole new shade…. and then some.
"C'mon, you can tell me, I won't judge."
"Yes" She said almost quietly as if she didn't want me to hear her answer. But that didn't work.
"Well, I am pretty sure the amount of dick you get from your 'boyfriend' must not be a lot."
"Actually I am still a virgin."
"No that is bullshit, you are not a virgin. I can imagine you having fucked like 10 different guys… or at least one serious boyfriend."
"Do I look like a slut to you?" She asked in such disbelief. I then made my facial expression as if to say 'DUH'. "You know what? Don't answer that."
"What about you? I am pretty sure you have fucked some girls."
"Nope, not even one. I have actually become kind of antisocial ever since grade 8."
"Not in high school?"
I shook my head.
"Wow, you must have been a fucking loser! And I thought I had it bad." She then started to laugh a little. I actually frowned and prepared to let her know where she stands before making such rude statements about me.
"Oh really?" "This is coming from the girl who is up to her nipples in debt and living in an abusive motherfucker's apartment." "Need I remind you of who's giving you some monitorial compensation for your rent?"
Now that abruptly shut her up. And she then started looking down at the floor in shame and sadness. "I'm sorry. I guess I really shouldn't have said that."
"Ya think? Besides even if I did have a partner, do you really think I would be jacking off and what was to be 10:00 in the night?"
"I guess not…"
"Anyway, we've both had a long night, so we should probably get going." I said. And I was pretty tired. But it was mostly just for her to exit my house so I can jack off in privacy.
"I guess you're right. Can I have your number first?"
"Why? So you can call me when you need some rent money?" I asked mockingly.
"No, no just to get in contact with you." She said deceptively, but I knew that was all fucking bullshit.
"Sure" I said with sarcasm. I gave her my number anyway. And I put hers into my iPhone 5.
"Thanks…" She said and exited my house before walking down the street to her little buggy.
"Hey Rachel!!" I called out. She turned around.
"Forgetting something?" I bellowed as I was shaking the $500 of rent money that she needed. She ran back and took the wad of cash I held out in front of her.
"I knew I was forgetting something." She then turned around and started jogging towards her car.
I shook my head and retreated back into my house and then finally realized that I was alone. The thought of this just put a smile on my face from ear to ear. I then walked to my computer and brought back the porn tab and went to WORK!!: I squirted some jack off helper juice into my hand. I restarted the video from the beginning and skipped the first few parts until the blonde bimbo was sucking the black man's 8 inch member. They were both on the floor and the bitch was on her knees taking that python into her mouth. I started stroking my dick slowly until it reached the fucking scene. They were now on the bed and the black monster was lying down while tonguing the chick's red and swollen clitty and he was going to work. I could hear the lustful moans coming from the girl and the guy was sucking that slick pussy all the way to an orgasm. He abruptly stopped his oral assault on her love hole and ascended to kneel on the bed and placed the head of his cock at the entrance of her now soaking pussy which was smeared with saliva. He was talking real dirty to the blonde bitch to get her worked up. And was it working.
She then started talking filthy back to him saying things like how she wanted it bad and fill her pussy with black meat. He then entered her tight cunt and was slowly going in and out for the first strokes. After five or six he started to pound that pussy like a fucking jackhammer. They switched to different positions: doggy style, 69, some ass rimming, he even lifted her up and was cupping her ass while shoving his cock in her pussy and inserting his index finger into her asshole every so often. It was getting close to the ending of the porn scene and I was getting close to sputtering jizz all over my computer screen. I then stroked furiously for the last minute and then shot my first few spurts of cum on my computer area as it then proceeded to shower my whole 8.5 inches of black meat in jizz as the dude was squirting his man juice all over the blonde slut's face.
Felling relieved and happy I cleaned up all the scattered sperm as thoroughly as I could as I did shoot a lot of it. I turned off the computer and proceeded to walk upstairs to bed. Now I'm lying in bed at 12:00 am thinking how nice it would be if I did have a girlfriend or a companion. I didn't dwell on it too much and I decided to sleep. Tomorrow would be my day off from work and I didn't know what I would do during that time. I hadn't thought much about Rachel after her surprise visit that night but little did I know I was about to see her a lot more tomorrow and in the future.
(Hope you guys liked it so far!! I will be sure to incorporate longer erotic events into the next installment.)

Bellringer – India Review 1.What are the two major rivers of India? Where are they located? 2.What were the two largest cities in the Indus River valley? What technological features do they display? 3.What are the four geographical regions of India? 4.What is the primary feature of India's climate? 5.What is Sanskrit? (pg 35)
China Overview China has one of the world's oldest cultures, dating back more than 6,000 years. Largest population of any country in the world 1.35 billion people More than 50 different ethnic groups, several different languages, many dialects. China covers about 9,596,960 square kilometers. China is the fourth largest country in the world (after Russia, Canada, and the USA).
The Impact of Geography GUIDING QUESTION How did China's physical geography influence the location of its early civilizations?
Global Position
Locate the following: 1.Huang He River 2.Yangtze River 3.Beijing 4. Mongolia7. East China Sea 5. Hong Kong 8. South China Sea 6. Shanghai
Chinese Population
Huang He and Yangtze The Huang He (Yellow River) stretches more than 2,900 miles from Mongolia to the Pacific Ocean. The Yangtze River flows 3,400 miles across central China, emptying into the Yellow Sea. Valleys along the two rivers were among the greatest food-producing areas of the ancient world.
Geographical isolation Mountains and deserts isolated the Chinese people from peoples in other parts of Asia. The northern frontier became an area of conflict as Chinese armies tried to protect their land from other peoples. Only 10 percent of the total land is suitable for farming (compared to 19 percent of United States) The rest of China consists of mountains and deserts on its northern and western frontiers.
Tibetan Plateau Taklamakan Desert Gobi Desert
Varied climate Climate variations in China are based on elevation and monsoons. Dry and wet seasons create significant temperature differences in winter and summer.
Discussion Question: Why were the early Chinese isolated from other peoples? Most of the people settled around the river valleys, with mountains and deserts cutting them off from neighboring peoples.
Chinese Dynasties
Dynasty Definition Dynasty: A family of rulers whose right to rule is passed on within the family.
Dynastic cycles Throughout Chinese history, dynasties followed a predictable cycle: A rise to power, then years of successful rule, and finally a decline in power, leading to rebellions or invasions.
The Dynastic Cycle A new dynasty comes to power. Lives of common people improved; taxes reduced; farming encouraged. Problems begin (extensive wars, invasions, etc.) Taxes increase; men forced to work for army. Farming neglected. Govt. increases spending; corruption. Droughts, floods, famines occur. Poor lose respect for govt. They join rebels & attack landlords. Rebel bands find strong leader who unites them. Attack the emperor. Emperor is defeated !! The emperor reforms the govt. & makes it more efficient. Start here
Shang and Zhou Dynasties - Geography
The Shang Dynasty (1766 - 1121 BC) GUIDING QUESTION: What characterized China under the Shang dynasty?
Aristocracy Under the Shang dynasty, China was largely agricultural. China was ruled by an aristocracy (the chief landowners) whose major concern was war. Aristocracy: an upper class whose wealth is land- based and who passes power from one generation to the next. Impressive cities were built.
Political and social structures: The realm was divided into territories governed by military leaders called warlords, appointed by the king.
The king controlled large armies, which often fought on the fringes of the kingdom. Below the royalty and the aristocracy in the social hierarchy were the mass of peasants and a small number of merchants and artisans. Political and social structures
Religion and Culture: The Chinese believed in supernatural forces that helped the rulers, as well as in life after death. They communicated with the gods through oracle bones. The Shang were masters of bronze casting. Many of their works have been recovered from tombs (like the one we're about to see).
Oracle Bones Oracle bones are pieces of bone, normally from shoulder blades of an ox or turtle, which were used for fortune telling during the late Shang dynasty. People would submit questions to their gods regarding future weather, crop planting, the fortunes of members of the royal family, military endeavors, and other similar topics. These questions were carved onto the bone using a sharp tool. Intense heat was then applied with a metal rod until the bone or shell cracked. The pattern of cracks would be interpreted, and the interpretation would be written upon the piece, as well.
Ruins of Yin Archaeological work at the Ruins of Yin (near modern day Anyang), which has been identified as the last Shang capital, uncovered eleven major Yin royal tombs and the foundations of palaces and ritual sites, containing weapons of war and remains from both animal and human sacrifices. Tens of thousands of bronze, jade, stone, bone, and ceramic artifacts have been obtained. The workmanship on the bronzes attests to a high level of civilization.
Location of the Ruins
Burial Pit of Tomb of Fu Hao Lady Hao was a military leader and the wife of Shang King Wu Ding. The tomb was discovered in 1976 and has been dated to BCE 1250. It was completely undisturbed, and in addition to the remains of the Queen the tomb was discovered to contain 6 dog skeletons, 16 human slave skeletons, and numerous grave goods of huge archaeological value. The tomb was thoroughly excavated and extensively restored and is now open to the public.
Shang Art and Bronze Work Scholars have called the bronzes of the Shang dynasty the pinnacle of creative art in ancient China. Bronze objects created during the early part of the dynasty were primitive, but later Shang artisans created elegant ceremonial bronzes as well as a variety of cooking and serving dishes as well as ornaments. Serving bowls were often stemmed, and pouring vessels had long spouts; these and numerous other vessels were often richly decorated. Bronze weapons helped the Shang army become a formidable power; these weapons included spears and battleaxes. Some warriors wore bronze helmets and armor.

Shang Urn
Shang Bronzes
Ritual Wine Vessel – bronze, 13c BCE
The Zhou Dynasty (1121 – 255 BC) Pronounced "Joe" GUIDING QUESTION What contributed to the success and longevity of Zhou rule?
Shang and Zhou Dynasties - Geography
Political system: The Zhou dynasty The longest-lasting dynasty in Chinese history. Continued the political system used by the Shang, with territories governed by aristocratic officials under the king's authority.
Mandate of Heaven The Zhou claimed to rule by virtue of a mandate of Heaven, with the king serving as a link between Heaven and Earth. The mandate became the basic principle of Chinese government and lasted into the twentieth century.
Mandate of Heaven The nobles were tired of war between the Shang and the Zhou. Most of the nobles would have the same life under Shang or Chou rule, and they knew it. As for the peasants, it did not matter to them which family ruled. The Mandate of Heaven is based on four principles: 1.The right to rule is granted by Heaven. 2.There is only one Heaven therefore there can be only one ruler. 3.The right to rule is based on the virtue of the ruler. 4.The right to rule is not limited to one dynasty.
Mandate of Heaven Here are some of the ways these principles converted into action and justification: 1.It gives the ruler prestige and religious importance. 2.It gives the ruler supreme power. 3.It allows a new ruler to gain power quickly if the people believe he has the 'Mandate of Heaven'. 4.A ruler's power must be kept in check by virtue. 5.The Mandate of Heaven justifies rebellion as long as the rebellion is successful. Simply because it was successful, obviously then, the new ruler had to have had a Mandate from Heaven.
Military technology By the end of the Zhou period, iron weapons had replaced bronze weapons, and soldiers on horseback carried powerful crossbows.
Society under the Zhou Social structure During the Zhou dynasty, as in the Shang, peasants worked on land owned by their lords. Town-dwelling artisans and merchants were also under the control of local lords. A class of slaves also existed.
Importance of the family The family served as the basic Chinese economic and social unit and symbolized the social order. Filial piety was expected, with family members subordinating their needs and desires to those of the male head of the family. Filial piety: respect for parents.
Traditional Chinese Family
Zhou accomplishments: Significant technological and economic growth took place, including the use of irrigation and iron plows, which increased the available cropland. The production of more food allowed the population to grow. Trade and manufacturing also grew, and a writing system based on pictographs and ideographs was developed.
Evolution of Chinese Writing
Why is the family considered a symbol of the entire Chinese social order? It reflects male supremacy and a system in which people subordinate their personal needs to the wishes of the head of the family or state. Why do you think the Chinese felt the need for a written language? As the population and the economy grew, they had a greater need to communicate with people at a distance, to keep track of business transactions, and to preserve religious traditions and cultural history.

WQTE (95.3 FM, "Q-95 Country") is a radio station in Adrian, Michigan, broadcasting a country music format. The station is live and local during the day on weekdays, and airs a satellite format from ABC Radio called "Country Coast-to-Coast" (known on air as "Today's Best Country") the remainder of the time.
The station originally signed on as WABJ-FM c. 1975, becoming WQTE later in the 1970s. The station's original format was beautiful music, changing to country sometime in the early 1980s. The station remains co-owned with WABJ-AM 1490 and Hudson-based WBZV-FM 102.5. For several years, WQTE has referred to itself as "Q95 Country," presumably to avoid confusion with adjacent-channel WKQI 95.5 FM in Detroit, which called itself "Q95" for many years and serves the northeastern part of WQTE's listening area.
The WQTE calls were originally used by what is now WRDT AM 560 in Monroe, Michigan (later WHND and WLLZ-AM) from 1959 to 1974.

It's just the usual speculation. How would they possibly know how much we are planing on bidding? As if the club lets anyone know beforehand. Also it says we've been after him for 12 months. We've had two new mangers since then!!

According to HITC who originally broke news of the club's interest.../.
Seems the offer might be tempting as the report also says Aberdeen are looking at possible replacements
It's just the usual speculation. How would they possibly know how much we are planing on bidding? As if the club lets anyone know beforehand. Also it says we've been after him for 12 months. We've had two new mangers since then!!
Is he any good? I ain't heard of him to be honest
We must be absolutely mad ....... One million pound for that guy is crazy money
Lifelong fan of CCFC, only manage a few games a year since emigrating to Spain. Nowadays I share my support alongside Spanish minor-league side, CD Dénia, the mighty Blue and Yellows!
The guy is 29 and previously struggled in the lower leagues so yeah £1m does seem OTT
Oldie, loves my footy and the horses I do
My first instinct was that we shouldn't be looking to spend what is a lot of money by our recent standards on a player who will be 30 in July, but it's encouraging to read how highly the Aberdeen fans rate him. He may not be in the Tony Book class (former Man City captain, and City Assistant Manager I believe, who signed for his first Football League club - Plymouth - at thirty and retired at the age of forty having made over three hundred and twenty appearances), but some players are late developers, perhaps the best of Hayes' career is still to come?
Oldie, loves my footy and the horses I do
Bid made by Cardiff last night - and rejected by Aberdeen:
there are fascists pretending to be humanitarians like cannibals on a healthkick eating only vegetarians (Roger McGough)
So we put in a low bid, who knows how much it was, you do not put in a bid for what you actually want to pay.
Think footballers who look after themselves can mature and play on into the age of 35 at most levels now , this lad may see this a good chance to earn a good buck and secure his future financially , and perhaps force himself into the Irish team who may yet qualify from their group ??
There is a strange irony here i grant you. When i was complaining in the summer and then aug about our lack of ambition in the transfer market i was slapped down with the old chesnut of the fair play rules? Now its different. We can pay this kind of money for a player who at 29 has participated in just 24 english league games and 200 in the scottish leagues ?? Surely those of you with a good grasp of the game must think there is better use of our scant resources and in any case ma ny feel kadeem harris deserves a chanceim not one of them btw. We continue to dilute our squad with players who are poorer than the ones we release. This guy probably as good as noone but dare i sy we might sell noone for more money in jan?
£1m for a guy with no proof of talent at this level, no resale value at the end of the contract and a position that's not in the most need of replacement.
Honestly, I don't get it.
If you speak to Aberdeen fans they wax lyrically about him, he's one of the best players in the SPL in their minds, and probably cheapish wages. In a world where Scott Hogan is worth £15m we've got to shop in the bargain basement. Maybe NW feels that at £1m ish he's a very good player and good value. I must admit I'm not overly excited about him but we're now in a crazy league. £15m for a guy with 2 serious knee injuries already in his career who's not had a full season in the Championship, we have to look elsewhere to compete.
You make a coupla good points , 1m for a 29 year old seems a lot,BUT, if we drop down another league this club becomes worth Jack Shit, therefore a 1M gamble doesn't look so crazy, is he up to the task ? Looking at the reaction from Aberdeen supporters, probably, he has been a late developer.
Kadeem has been getting chances, he is OK, some weeks looks fine , other weeks looks worse than average, would love the lad to be a smash hit, we have been waiting for him to crack it for long enough.
Noone plays well one week, poorly for two, not nearly consistent enough but a step up from Kadeem.
The squad will be far weaker after this transfer window.

The Obama administration announced a ban on the sale of some military-style equipment to local law enforcement agencies earlier this week. Additionally, the administration is looking to implement "softer uniforms" for police.
Local police departments are now prohibited from purchasing tracked armored vehicles, bayonets, grenade launchers, and large caliber weapons and ammunition. They will also face limits on other federal equipment, including explosives, riot equipment, and wheeled armored or tactical vehicles.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the largest law enforcement union in the United States, lambasted the administration for the move.
"The FOP was very disappointed that the 'controlled' equipment list identified protective gear like anti-ballistic shields and helmets as well as armored vehicles, as this will make these defensive purchases much more difficult to obtain," an FOP statement said. "Similarly, some less than lethal technologies have also been put on the 'controlled' equipment list."
All of us know that this issue is not really about equipment. We ought not to be distracted by thinking the problem is with the types of equipment or how the equipment is procured.Instead, we need to focus on better command decision-making at the local and State level with respect to how and when the equipment is deployed in the field. This, and of course appropriate training for the officers who are directed to use the equipment, is critical.
Speaking on The Kelly File Thursday, Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade pointed out the administration also wants "softer uniforms" for police officers.
"They're concerned about the helmet. They're concerned about the shield. It's sending the wrong message," Kilmeade said. "I used to think from the civilian point of view that that would be a reason not to riot, because the police were ready and ready to act."
Kilmeade also told Kelly that if he were a police officer today, he would not show up to the next riot.

Byron Glacier Trail is a 3.3 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Girdwood, Alaska that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from April until October.
kid friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
Trail offers an easy walk for all ages. It allows a close-up view of a glacier with rugged, mountains in all directions. A good family outing with a variety of things to do for the whole family. The alder/cottonwood forest is lush with ferns for a serene beginning to the hike. Byron Creek is a cascading, whitewater, glacial creek. The many stones along its bank offer many imaginative activities for children and adults (rock skipping, fort building). Snowfields left from the previous winter's avalanches supply many snowballs for those inclined to a friendly contest. The trail branches in many directions as it nears the snowfields below Byron Glacier. Bouldering on the rocks of the side and terminal moraines can be a challenge. Portage Lake and Valley can be seen looking north from the trail.
Beautiful hike but VERY crowded, only a small trail so passing was difficult. lots of people and dogs. Spent a lot of time standing in knee deep snow to let others pass. Not as pleasant as I had hoped for. Maybe going during the week would be better.
Awesome hike. We did it in October during the first major snow of the season. Got to the ice caves, we were the only ones on the trail that day. Great easy day hike to get up and close with a glacier
Great easy trail
This is a well-trafficked, easy trail. If you are in the area, it is well worth a quick hike to see this glacier. The trail is well-defined, with moderate inclines. Watch it at the top, if you decide to go playing about on the glacier and the surrounding boulder fields! I helped a man with broken ribs down to the trail head. It's a mean play ground!
Mostly flat, easy walking trail with a rewarding finish at the glacier. Beautiful views!
Super easy hike that takes you to the toe of a glacier. The glacier is at a higher elevation than the hikes end, so you're looking up at it, but it's still rewarding.
Great little hike. We rock scrambled off trail a bit. It was raining so we had to cross the river to get to the ice. Amazing views
Beautiful trail and surround views. Seasoned toddlers can easily accomplish this, also accessible with a double stroller (side by side). I have done this trail multiple times and it never disappoints.
walked on trail beside Creek ending at a glacier lots of salmon berries on the trail. busy trail

Macroeconomic Stimulus: Theory Vs Practise
There are many schools of macroeconomic thought. Most people agree that some form of stimulus is needed during a recession but what should this stimulus look like? Is monetary stimulus sufficient or do we need fiscal stimulus as well? What should this monetary stimulus look like? Do we need quantitative easing? Or is effective monetary stimulus largely about conditional forward guidance as Michael Woodford and Mark Carney seem to think?
Macroeconomic stimulus in practise is however a one-trick pony that has almost no relation to the theoretical debate. In the developed world since the Great Moderation, macroeconomic policy can be boiled down to one simple rule – prop up asset prices. In the Anglo-Saxon world, the rule is even simpler – prop up house prices. Mark Carney may grab all the headlines regarding UK economic policy but the only policies that matters to the UK economy are George Osborne's attempts to boost the housing market.
There is nothing novel about this. Alan Greenspan was always quite frank about his approach to monetary policy. For all the talk about Taylor rules and how central banking and monetary policy became a rule-based science in the 1980s, the reality of Greenspan-era monetary policy was much simpler and followed only one rule – do not allow asset prices to fall. Abenomics is simply the logical end-stage of Greenspan's monetary policy doctrine. Greenspan only needed to cut rates when stock markets tanked but the Bank of Japan needs to literally buy equity ETFs and real estate investment trusts(REITs) every week to prop up the markets. The Bank of Japan would love to provide more support to the housing market but unfortunately its purchases are already too large for the REIT market. Maybe the BOJ could buy up the housing stock of the country and rent it back to the people of Japan? Maybe eventually all assets in capitalist "free-market" economies will be owned by the central bank? What could possibly be objectionable about such an economic system?

"Maybe eventually all assets in capitalist "free-market" economies will be owned by the central bank?"
I can't imagine what such a world would look like (in a thought exercise). What happens as we move towards this state, which seems all but inevitable? Just theoretically, lets say 100% of the assets were on the balance sheet. Assuming that it is technically possible, what then?
They could deliberately do buy-ins to public Japanese companies to float their stock prices higher. Not that I'm totally serious about it, but it's there.
Maybe eventually all assets in capitalist "free-market" economies will be owned by the central bank? What could possibly be objectionable about such an economic system?
It would make cutting taxes easier. You could replace them with sneaky tack-on licensing fees for using the assets!
vickm – I hope that we don't get there and change course to something more sensible for macro-stimulus like helicopter drops.
Brett – I would not at all be surprised if they move onto buying equities directly.
As a thought exercise, I suggested at Scott Sumner's blog that instead of a NGDP level target, the central bank target Nominal Net Worth (also a growth path and level target).
My thought was that inflation was the growth rate of price level and price level targeting is considered better than inflation targeting. There is a perspective that GDP can be considered the growth rate of wealth, hence nominal net worth level targeting might work better than NGDP targeting.
This thought is not backed by a model, but the policy will be very sensitive to asset bubbles.
Coming to the post, I'm surprised that they are buying so many private assets. Have they completely run out of government bonds to buy? Is all of japanese gov debt held by the central bank?
Prakash – no they are buying JGBs as well. But in the BoJ's own words:
"With a view to lowering risk premia of asset prices, the Bank will purchase ETFs and Japan real estate investment trusts (J-REITs)"
of course "lowering risk premia" = prop up private sector asset prices.

Actually, the 'one-trick pony' is correct insofar as this bankers-school money system breaks down at the point of the saturation of debt-based money within the real macro-economy.
Google up 'when debt-money goes broke'.The only solutions out there are Adair Turner's Overt Money Finance as in this paper from the Group of 30,
http://www.group30.org/images/PDF/ReportPDFs/OP%2087.pdfor a complete reform that migrates away from the debt-based bankers-school of the money system and towards the debt-free money of the currency school.
