To see Day 1 of our last-minute getaway, click here!
Good grief, can we get away from McDonald's anywhere in this country? Apparently not, and Mr. Woo had heard that all should try the saimin noodles. To me it was like cup noodles with the golden arches slapped on the huge styrofoam bowl, but to each his own. (The McDs over there had taro pie instead of apple pie!)
So after we got that out of the way, we began trekking further up to more of West Maui. My role was assistant pilot, aka navigator. Our condo owners were kind enough to leave a copy of Maui Revealed which we found to be a fantastic aid. With that plus the map from the car rental, we began our drive in the hot sun and humid breeze.
We stopped at a couple of outlooks along the way so that we could both enjoy the beautiful waters and picturesque scenery. The Hawaiian radio station provided the soundtrack needed for our tour of the island. Although after a while all the beats started sounding the same...
Then lunch was at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina. Mr. Woo was a wonderful gentleman and made sure that we sat next to a window overlooking the blue waters below. It also helped that a lovely older couple announced, "I'm not moving my butt until [the waitress] says yes," followed by "You better slide your butt over now [before it gets taken]," moments later. Note to self: Be one of those kinds of people when I'm older.
Our next adventure was more subdued. We went to find the Banyan Tree. It looks like twelve trees' work, but it's all one! After getting rocked by the waves, I decided to give Bossman a break and not climb the tree, except a tiny bit for one picture (in which you can see my growing belly). It was also here that we found the cheaply advertised activities to not being entirely honest - there's always a catch. Once you qualify for it, they have you sit and listen to a 2-hour presentation of whatever they're trying to sell. Mr. Woo was a great leader and declined so that we could utilize that precious time in a better manner, even if it means paying a little extra. Great idea, Husband!
While we were up there we trekked to Black Rock in Ka'anapali. I kid you not, people climb over and up to the top and jump into the water. My view from the beach was plenty fun for me, so I just paddled in the water after slathering on sunblock. Since the waves were tossing me to and fro anyway, Husband taught me how to bodysurf! It was a lot of fun but in the end, it was something like Waves: 13; Mrs. Woo: 8. I ended up pulling a muscle and had trouble walking the next day.
After working up an appetite, I dove into mango shave (not shaved) ice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream at one of the shops at Whalers' Village. Then we walked to Leilani's for happy hour sliders - kalua pork for Mr. Woo, crab cake for Mrs. Woo.
On our way home we stopped at what I thought was a lighthouse. It turned out to be a poser, but we took a few snaps anyway. Of course, we squeezed in another obligatory sunset session. Hawaii's colors are beautiful, and God is an incredible Artist.
For those who want a quick scan of our trip, visit Mr. Woo's Flickr for his set of Maui pictures! (Hasn't he improved so much since he first picked up the camera?)

Let's be clear on one thing from the start: quarterback is not the biggest of the Vikings' worries at this point. Not after a 35-10 beatdown at the hands of the lowly Panthers.
We shut down the TV at halftime and headed for Miss Saigon at the Ordway. We DVRed the rest of the debacle. When you allow Carolina to beat you by 25 at home, and you somehow have a sadder finish than Miss Saigon, you have too many problems to count.
Number one is the defense, and that starts with the secondary. If as much attention is parading two or three corners through Winter Park this Monday as was bringing in Josh Freeman last Monday, that would be a good thing.
Then again, that would suggest the Vikings still feel as though they have a chance this year. They can feel that way if they want, but this thing sure feels over.
As such, we are faced with this reality: Freeman might as well start the rest of the season at QB to see what he can do in purple. The season is not Christian Ponder's fault. It is not Matt Cassel's fault.
But they are not the kinds of QBs who can overcome the massive deficiencies on the rest of the roster. Maybe Freeman is. Maybe he can bring some respectability to this season and restore some hope in 2014.
That's about all there is left to see with 11 games left in 2013.

Hi my lovely readers!
While browsing through a store selling drugstore makeup in Oman (spent a weekend there with my sister), we came across the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner. We immediately picked one up after reading lots of reviews on beauty blogs, comparing it to the Bobbi Brown gel liners. I bought the brown one and my sister the black one.
What I immediately loved about this eyeliner is the fact that it comes with a brush. I usually use a Bobbi Brown angled brush or a Smashbox eyeliner brush to apply my gel liners. This Maybelline brush is more flat and applies thicker on the lids which is fine with me. I wore this eyeliner on my lids for 8 hours straight and without a primer underneath and there was no smudging or fading. It is creamy and applies like a dream. It is not as thick in consistency as the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliners so you need to keep dipping the brush into the pot in order to finish applying the eyeliner.
If you are looking for a perfect gel eyeliner that does not cost a bomb (like the Bobbi Brown ones), then these are perfect. They just cost around 50 Dhs and are available in Brown, Blackest Black, Charcoal and Eggplant.
Have you tried this eyeliner? What do you think?

from The Man Who Saw, an electronic edition
America Once More
THIS, this is the America that we knew!
Not she whose armour against Hell was reams
Of ratiocination ; who in streams
Of most invincible ink was lost to view ;
But she that once her golden clarion blew
At Gettysburg; she on whose forehead gleams
The unvanquished Morn; the America of our dreams--
Of those immortal dreams that yet are true.
O change not back to marble, mighty brow!
This human wrath is more majestic far,
Man needs thee, and our cause, being Man's, is thine.
Thy place is with the great who know not how
To falter, though their night be without star,
And their vast agony without anodyne.

Coming to university can be a terrifying experience. New people, new surroundings, new smells… so to help you settle in and plan your time here, we've come up with our top 10 Do's and Don'ts for Brunel Freshers, so listen up!
- Listen to Radio Brunel forever and ever and ever. Stick it on in your kitchen, listen to it on your way to lectures… and if you fancy it, you could even get involved next term and host your very own radio show.
- Eat sushi at the Load of Hay. It's sushi in a pub. Do I need to say anymore? #ActuallyNotAnAlcoholic
- Join all of the societies, all of the time. They're full of vaguely entertaining, like-minded people who will weasel their way into your lives and before you know it you're an officer and having a whale of a time!
- Go to your 9am lecture with a stinking hangover (or, even better, still drunk). Trust me, I'm speaking from experience here. It's the best thing ever, as long as you don't need to run the length of the lecture centre halfway through your boring accounting lecture to find a toilet in which to take a tactical chunder.
- Take a picture with the Brunel Statue before you graduate. Just make sure you know that the statue is of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and not Abraham Lincoln…
- Have that one-night stand. There's absolutely no chance in the known universe that anything could possibly backfire…
- Make sure you have enough change to put in the washing machines. Now that Mum's not doing your laundry for you, this is probably the single-most important bit of advice we ancient third years can give you. Just make sure you actually do your washing regularly!
- Expect to pull an all-nighter. You say to yourself now that you will do all of your coursework well before your deadlines and you won't ever have to work tirelessly through the night before to get it in on time. That's not gonna happen. Trust me, life gets in the way of this ambitious, unrealistic plan, and suddenly everything is due at once and you've done NOTHING. (Of course, some all-nighters may not necessarily be course-related, but this reporter can neither confirm nor deny these claims.)
- Make sure you budget. Don't be the guy who blows his entire student loan during fresher's week and then indefinitely borrows money. That guy's a dick.
- Go to Subway at 2am after a 12-hour stint at the pub when you should have actually been working on that really important assignment. Because first year doesn't actually count towards your degree… right? (And Subway is really tasty).
- get on the U2. Ever. It says it goes to Uxbridge, but it doesn't tell you it's going to take you via Timbuk-f*cking-tu to get you there. Take the U5, the U3 or the 222 instead!
- go in the pond. I am 1000000% convinced that not even fish can survive in there.
- travel on the Piccadilly line. Unless you live on the Piccadilly Line (you poor soul). It's like the U2, but in train form – slow, smelly, goes the long way round – so just avoid it, even if you want to giggle like a little kid every time the smooth, disembodied voice of the robot woman says "Cockfosters".
- expect to be able to hold a conversation in Locos. The music is so loud you'll be deaf before you've actually ordered your drink. I recommend earplugs.
- mistake the Brunel Statue for Lincoln. Quick history lesson: one was a Victorian-age engineer responsible for putting strips of iron on the ground and running trains on them, and the other was Abraham Lincoln. They're very different people. Don't be the one who embarrasses themselves getting it wrong.
- get your weekly shopping from Costcutter. Because they don't actually cut costs.
- put your food on your shelf in the fridge and expect it to still be there in a week's time. Even though you'll think your flatmates are cool, they're also as poor as you, and will eat any food they see. I suggest you lace half of your food with laxatives as punishment for whoever attempts to steal your food. Just be prepared for all-out war if you do. expect a decent night's sleep during fresher's week. Or ever, come to think of it. Your fire alarm loves to sing you the song of its people, ALL OF THE TIME, especially if you're unlucky enough to live in Mill Hall. Plus you'll always get that one group who keep their Fresher's Week antics going throughout the year. Earplugs will become your best friend.
- expect the library coffee machines to work when you need them to. To avoid disappointment, I suggest you simply take a camp bed, a kettle and enough instant coffee to supply a small army with you to your inevitable all-nighter and just set up camp on the second floor.
- Buy a new computer: You will waste your three years at Brunel building sims who do better at university than you.

ANSI has highlighted three standards relevant to national blood donor month and the American Red Cross's emergency call for blood and platelet donations due to a severe winter blood shortage.
Citing the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, an ANSI-accredited standards-developing organization that has published standards for blood collection and laboratory testing, the American National Standards Institute noted this week that it is national blood donor month and the American Red Cross has issued an emergency call for blood and platelet donations due to a severe winter blood shortage.
ANSI explained that the CLSI GP44-A4 standard, Procedures for the Handling and Processing of Blood Specimens for Common Laboratory Tests; Approved Guideline - Fourth Edition, addresses handling and processing of blood specimens for examination procedures using serum, plasma, or whole blood in the clinical laboratory and specifies criteria to assist the lab and other health care providers in recognizing, reducing, or eliminating pre-examination errors resulting from improper handling of blood specimens.
Another relevant standard developed by accredited standards developer AAMI, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, is American National Standard ANSI/AAMI BF64:2012, Leukocyte Reduction Filters, which contains labeling requirements, performance requirements, test methods, and terminology for disposable filters used for the reduction of leukocytes from blood or blood products during transfusion.
A third example is ISO 1135-3:2016, Transfusion equipment for medical use -- Part 3: Blood-taking set for single use, which offers guidance for transfusion equipment for a single use and for a single donor. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization's Technical Committee (TC) 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection equipment for medical and pharmaceutical use, Working Group 5, Blood collection systems.

By Yuval Levin June 30, Washington Post
[JB comment: Nice piece, but since when do we inhabitants of the United States of Amnesia remember anything, except maybe Civil War monuments? Henry Ford: "History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition." "President Bush launched the We the People initiative on Constitution Day, Sept. 17, 2002, at a special White House Rose Garden ceremony. The President cited numerous studies that have indicated that many young Americans have at best only a passing knowledge of our nation's history and principles of democratic government. For example, one survey has shown that one in five high school seniors did not know Germany was not a U.S. ally in World War II." A personal example: One of my former students, very bright but (I suspect, given his very literal, honest mind) not speaking ironically: "I don't know anything before 9/11." Maybe the below idealistic piece will lead some high schoolers/college students/GWB [is there that much difference?] to "learn" "when" (the historical background) the Declaration of Independence was actually adopted -- or more broadly, that there is such a thing as the past (her/history) ... :)]
Yuval Levin, the editor of National Affairs, is the Hertog fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Americans use patriotism as a political cudgel. Lincoln had an answer to that problem.
As Independence Day approaches, Americans are divided. We are conflicted along lines of party, region, education and class — and these divisions have left us with a politics that just feels broken. We all love our country, but we can't even agree on why and how to love it. Patriotism itself has become a sticking point.
There has long been an argument, roughly along the axis of conservatism and progressivism, about whether to love America for what it has been or what it should be. The right inclines to American exceptionalism, and the sense that our nation's roots in self-evident moral truths render it a unique force for good in the world and make its politics distinctly elevated. The left inclines to a more redemptive hope in America — the idea that our country has been working from its birth to overcome its unique sins, and that it has made some progress but has much more to make.
Liberals argue that the conservative form of patriotism sanitizes history and descends into jingoism. Conservatives say the left's form of patriotism isn't so much a regard for America as for liberal political ideals, which progressives hope our country might increasingly come to resemble.
In our time, President Trump and some of his supporters have brought to the fore another, perhaps even deeper disagreement over patriotism. Trump is not an American exceptionalist. "I don't like the term, I'll be honest with you," he said in 2015. ". . . Look, if I'm a Russian, or I'm a German, or I'm a person we do business with, why, you know, I don't think it's a very nice term." More than not nice, he seems to think it's not true: What stands out about America, Trump argues, is not its ideals or its gradual self-improvement but the simple fact that it is our country. So America's leaders should do what the leaders of all other nations do and put their own nation first. "At the bedrock of our politics," Trump said in his inaugural address, "will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other."
These differences among three types of patriots have a lot to tell us about our contemporary politics. But as they are deployed in political debates, they often serve to narrow our sense of the American political tradition. Each camp understands its adversaries as speaking somehow from outside that tradition and perhaps against it. So patriotism itself becomes a source of disunity.
But in fact, these different forms of patriotism all speak from within our tradition. All have deep roots, and the tensions among them might point us toward a better understanding of how our society should regard itself.
One man's life and thought were a testament to all three forms of patriotism. Abraham Lincoln, who knew a thing or two about a divided politics, would have been no stranger to our conflicts over national sentiment. But his thinking on that subject offers a model of genuine statesmanship, because it tended to build bridges where others, in his time and ours, could see only chasms.
He suggested, to begin with, that it is a mistake to think of American exceptionalism as a spur to empty jingoism. Our idealistic exceptionalism is, if anything, a restraint on self-congratulation because it always compels us to confront the fact that we fall short of our ideals. The American creed, Lincoln argued in one speech, should form "a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence, and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere."
What makes America exceptional is that it was founded on principles that guide our public life yet will always be aspirational. This joins together the conservative and progressive forms of patriotism — as it suggests that progress toward justice involves vindicating rather than repudiating our founding principles.
Those principles can also help to overcome another challenge to unity in our day that Lincoln would have recognized. As he noted in an 1858 speech, about half the people living in the United States at that time were not descended from the founding generation but were immigrants or children of immigrants. They had no connection "by blood" to the revolution, he said. And yet, "when they look through that old Declaration of Independence, they find that those old men say that 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,' and then they feel that that moral sentiment taught in that day evidences their relation to those men, that it is the father of all moral principle in them, and that they have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh, of the men who wrote that Declaration — and so they are."
A stirring call to patriotism, to be sure. But Lincoln was also alert to the charge — as present then as now — that this kind of attachment is too cold and theoretical to hold us together in times of genuine strain. The very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence describes us as "one people," and American patriotism has always been a form of nationalism, too.
Sometimes Lincoln suggested that sheer love of our own — what Trump and some of his supporters championed — might live alongside our patriotism of principle and aspiration, albeit as a junior partner. Of his great hero, Henry Clay, Lincoln said, "He loved his country partly because it was his own country, but mostly because it was a free country."
In his youth, in particular, Lincoln inclined toward a rather cerebral form of patriotism. In one of his earliest public addresses, delivered before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Ill., when he was only 28, he suggested that, even in the face of passionate divisions, our commitment to America should be unfailingly rational. The revolution was over, he suggested. "Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason — cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason — must furnish all the materials for our future support and defense. Let those materials be molded into general intelligence, sound morality, and in particular, a reverence for the Constitution and laws."
But 23 years later, as he prepared to take on the heavy burden of the presidency amid deeper and more intense divisions than America had ever known, Lincoln had come to see that pure principle and reason alone were not enough of a foundation for reverence, unity and love of country. True, an excess of passion was dangerous. But at the conclusion of his first inaugural address, he called for something more lyrical and sentimental to bind us: "Though passion may have strained, it must not break, our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
Lincoln had discovered for us the truest touchstone of republican patriotism: the unifying power of our common national memory. Memory is both conceptual and visceral. It lets us take pride in our ideals and our experience — our origins and our progress — and the fact that both are ours. It can serve as a fountain of affection because it is shared with our fellow citizens, not simply as a set of principles but as a life lived together.
A patriotism of common national memory could be the answer to the riddle of a politics divided over how to be unified. [JB emphasis] It is not a way to make our differences go away, but rather to allow us better to live with them and so with each other. It could help counteract our tendency to think of our political opponents as speaking from outside the American tradition, and so as threats to be warded off rather than fellow citizens to be engaged. Our tradition is more capacious than we tend to imagine and gives us more room for genuine politics than we too often assume.
A love of country rooted in national memory would let us draw some good out of the ways in which we are now divided over patriotism. It is good for all of us to be reminded of the ideals America was born to embody, of the fact that it could stand to embody them more fully, of the fact that all these ideals can be embodied at the same time, and of the simple reality that America is not itself an ideal but a real nation, full of real people who deserve leaders who put them first.
And it would be good to remember, as well, that our country has made it through moments of much deeper division than this one — in the lifetimes of many Americans, let alone in the span of our national memory. We have often done so with the help of leaders able to summon us toward progress rooted in remembrance. We could sure use such leaders now.
So as we celebrate our country this Independence Day, let's cite Lincoln once more. He concluded his eulogy of Henry Clay with a prayer to which he himself would one day be an answer and which we would be wise now to repeat: "Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence, trusting that, in future national emergencies, He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security."

Years Active
2009 – present (9 years)
Founded In
Tokyo, Japan
ギャロ (THE GALLO) is a rock band from Tokyo, Japan, though most members are Hokkaido natives.
The band began as a session band called ジョジョwith東京秘密倶楽部 (Jojo with Tokyo Himitsu Club) which had its first live on November 10, 2008. Three members from THE SKULL FUCK REVOLVERS started the unit and were permanent members of the session: ジョジョ (Jojo), McCueen (in THE GALLO: Lulu), and 名無し (Nanashi or No-name; in THE GALLO: Andy), though they were joined by other guitarists and drummers as they appeared. 楓 (Kaede) (also in test-No.) became a steady member, and in the spring of 2009 they announced their start as THE GALLO. Their first official live was held on May 5, 2009.
In December 2009, デシベル-db-'s guitarist 櫻井光 (Sakurai Hikaru) officially joined the band. ルル (Lulu) left the band after the June 2, 2012 one man tour final. THE GALLO had a short period of session activity during the summer after his departure under the name 大日本黒鶏主義者連盟 (Dainippon Kokkei Shugisha Renmei) with m:a.ture's guitarist, 和城 (Wajow), on support. Wajow officially joined THE GALLO on September 7th.
Their first PV, "Muen," was released exclusively on YouTube on May 17, 2014.
Their second PV, "Musou," was released exclusively on YouTube on November 7, 2014.
Their third PV, "INCUBUS," was released exclusively on YouTube on May 14, 2015.
January 2015 saw the band's first one-man lives in Osaka and Nagoya, and THE GALLO held their first one-man at a medium-large venue – TSUTAYA O-WEST – on March 30, 2015. Their first (6-city) metropolitan one-man tour, "THE INCUBUS CIRCUS," began on August 8, 2015, and concluded with their second one-man at TSUTAYA O-WEST on September 11, 2015.
Hikaru left the band for undisclosed reasons on November 14, 2015, and Wajow took over the lead (kamite) guitar position with nob (DADA) on support. THE GALLO will play their first one-man at mid-sized venue Shinjuku Loft for Andy's birthday on December 18, 2015, and their first one-man at the larger Shinjuku BLAZE to celebrate their 7th anniversary on March 6, 2016.

Micro & Nano Flows for Engineering
The micro & nano flows group is a research partnership between the Universities of Warwick and Edinburgh, and Daresbury Laboratory. We investigate gas and liquid flows at the micro and nano scale (where conventional analysis and classical fluid dynamics cannot be applied) using a range of simulation techniques: molecular dynamics, extended hydrodynamics, stochastic modelling, and hybrid multiscaling. Our aim is to predict and understand these flows by developing methods that combine modelling accuracy with computational efficiency.
Targeted applications all depend on the behaviour of interfaces that divide phases, and include: radical cancer treatments that exploit nano-bubble cavitation; the cooling of high-power electronics through evaporative nano-menisci; nanowire membranes for separating oil and water, e.g. for oil spills; and smart nano-structured surfaces for drag reduction and anti-fouling, with applications to low-emissions aerospace, automotive and marine transport.
EPSRC Programme Grant in Nano-Engineered Flow Technologies
Our work is supported by a number of funding sources (see below), including a 5-year EPSRC Programme Grant (2016-2020). This Programme aims to underpin future UK innovation in nano-structured and smart interfaces by delivering a simulation-for-design capability for nano-engineered flow technologies, as well as a better scientific understanding of the critical interfacial fluid dynamics.
We will produce software that a) resolves interfaces down to the molecular scale, and b) spans the scales relevant to the engineering application. As accurate molecular/particle methods are computationally unfeasible at engineering scales, and efficient but conventional fluids models do not capture the important molecular physics, this is a formidable multiscale problem in both time and space. The software we develop will have embedded intelligence that decides dynamically on the correct simulation tools needed at each interface location, for every phase combination, and matches these tools to appropriate computational platforms for maximum efficiency.
This work is strongly supported by nine external partners (see below).

Dr Laura Cooper, Research Fellow, University of Warwick
This week I attended the BAMC in St Andrews. I have given a talk as part of the "Multiscale Analysis of Porous Media" mini-symposium. I spoke about modelling and upscaling multiphase flow in porous media and the session also included talks on upscaling the poro-elastic properties of soil, the growth of potatoes and using image-based modelling to investigate plant-fertiliser interaction.
There are a wide range of topics were presented and discussed at BAMC, which has combined with the UK Magnetohydrodynamics Meeting this year. In my own work I am modelling phenomena at the millimetre and micrometre scale, but I have had the opportunity to attend interesting talks that aim to model much larger scales, such as the formation of the Milky Way and waves in oceans. Mathematical biology was also a popular topic. There were presentations and posters on the more familiar topics of drop impacts and optimisation.
I have attended talks on the history of mathematics and have learnt that 19th Century mathematicians could be really mean to each other! Even going as far as writing whole books to explain just how wrong they thought the other person was. Luckily, most of the attendees here did not share this attitude and were friendly.

Take a look at this video on the Weissenberg effect.
When stress is applied to a fluid, a certain amount of strain, or deformation, is observed. In particular, for a Newtonian fluid, viscous stresses that arise from the flow are linearly proportional to the local rate of deformation over time. It is determined from this that for Newtonian fluids (such as water and oil), the viscosity of the fluid does not depend on the applied stress. So when a rotational stress is applied (as in the video) at the bottom of a Newtonian fluid, below an air-liquid interface, the resulting flow is dominated by inertial and gravity-effects which causes the fluid to flow down toward the source of the stress and radially outward. For pseudoplastics (such as grease), a type of Non-Newtonian fluid where the viscosity decreases as the applied stress increases, applying the same rotational stress will decrease viscosity near the source, which causes inertia and gravity to no longer dominate the flow, causing the fluid to flow upward and bulge at the air interface.
A fun instance of this effect is known as 'rod-climbing'. Rotating a rod inserted into a pseudoplastic causes the polymer chains that make up the fluid to congregate around the regions of highest stress and orient themselves in the direction of shearing, meaning that chains closer to the rod (where stress is highest) are stretched less than those chains further away, and so occupy 'lower states of energy'. The chains' desire to reach these regions of low energy creates an inward normal force and so the fluid goes in the only direction is can - UP THE ROD.

Only upto 40% of the original oil in place could be extracted from the oil reservoir using water flooding, the so-called primary recovery method . A large portion of oil is left behind as immobile ganglia. The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, the secondary recovery methods, are hence needed to extract the remaining oil. Polymer flooding is one such technique. In this EOR techniques, the injected water is supplemented with the long chain polymers which makes the injected water an visco-elastic fluid with a tunable viscosity. The primary purpose of adding polymer is to increase the viscosity of the flood water so that he mobility of injected water becomes less then that of oil which maximize the sweep efficiency, creating a smooth flood font without viscous fingering. This EOR technique has been successfully used to effectively recover the remaining oil from the reservoir, up to 30% of the original oil in place.

SA will be next big call centre player
South Africa set for strong growth in call centre market
South Africa set for strong growth in call centre market
South Africa will become the second biggest offshore location for high-value
call centre services over the next two years, according to the South African
Contact Centre Community.
SACCCOM predicts that, by 2008, the country will have 80,000 call centre
seats, with 20% of agents doing offshore work, compared with 6% today.
The bullish prediction follows an agreement between SACCCOM and its Indian
equivalent NASSCOM.
Mfanu Mfayela, CEO of SACCCOM, said: 'South Africa looks set to be the number
two offshore destination after India for UK business, and will capture a
significant share of high-quality work.'
Research analyst Datamonitor has predicted that the number of call centres in
South Africa will grow from the current 535 to as many as 939 by 2008.

Thinking about immigrating to NZ....think twice. The country has the worst telecommunications infrastructure. Internet connections are slow, expensive, and come with low download limits. Some of you are accustomed to no limits on download. There are several problems:
1. Lack of competition on fibre leaving the country - that will change in the next few years
2. Local nodes - all owned by Telecom NZ - which I guess in a static growth market is holding out for new technology.
The result is that people are having to wait up to 2 years for a broadband landline connection, and are otherwise restricted to 4Gb per month download limits for a mobile broadband service, which is severely restrictive in where you can access it.
Matters are better and worse in rural areas. You will have to pay $49/mth for a telephone rental service, even if you are only using data. You will have more chance of getting a broadband connection though, because fewer people are using them.
If this is enough for you to look elsewhere, and you are looking for a similar place on Earth, you might want to consider Tasmania (Australia). It has the fastest broadband in Australia, with speeds of 100Mbps for the whole island, though it is a small island....so much like one island of NZ, but at least it is stitched on to the mainland, and Melbourne for access to a major city and airport. Don't expect a subsea tunnel however, its a 120km wide trip.
In defence of NZ...I have used both the Telecom and Vodafone services and they are both similarly priced and reliable. Telecom at our purchase point was better because we did not have to commit to a contract. I think that is why Vodafone started losing market share.

Jews around the world may have a harder time than usual dipping apples into honey this Rosh Hashanah. That's because honey is in short supply this year, especially in Britain, due to a bee disease thought to be caused by a virus discovered by Israeli scientists.

Having just celebrated my son's six-month birthday one week ago, I must admit I have slacked a bit in analyzing the sports world. Instead of singing the praises of athletes, I have become quite the troubadour of the tunes from The Disney Channel. "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and "Little Einsteins" have dominated my brain just like the Green Bay Packers have ruled the NFL. See, I still pay attention! I even know the lauded Wisconsin juggernauts lost their chance at an undefeated season today against Kansas City.
My time away from intense study of baseballs, footballs and pucks (Sorry, basketballs, your bouncers and shooters deserve as much attention as a Rick Santorum campaign speech.) has helped me to realize how fickle the nation's athletic heroes can be. It seems as if opportunity shocks as often as it knocks for stars, and my recent run of casual observance offers no rebuttal to my views.
Take Ryan Braun. How strange that a man whose last name is a homophone for a term indicating strength would have to combat allegations that he used a performance-enhancing drug. If Braun unsuccessfully battles to clear his name, "The Hebrew Hammer" will likely be striking himself over receiving a suspension. I am a fan of the Milwaukee Brewer and reigning National League Most Valuable Player, yet I idolized Roger Clemens for years, too.
I am glad to see Jimmy Rollins will remain a Phillie. I cannot wait to see how that new contract will increase his walk totals and willingness to leg out grounders.
As for the old pigskin, I see the Eagles are teasing their fans again with two straight wins. What a sad division the Birds find themselves in that an 8-8 record could clinch the NFC East for the perpetual teasers! The temperatures have grown quite cold, fellow Philadelphians. Allow Andy Reid to pull the wool over your eyes and the rest of your bodies.
The Flyers are impressing me, yet the loss of defenseman Chris Pronger has me fearing Paul Holmgren will make a foolish trade (the Flyers have made a few of those, just so you know.) to sure up his bunch. I worry that young talent will be the bait for oldheads whom he will praise as solid veterans, a synonym for hacks.
Ah, basketball. Aside from a passing interest in the college game, I have taken only immature joy in the failure of Kobe Bryant's marriage. Bryant has never won my favor, but his wife certainly gained her own share of my interest by booting him. Here is to a fruitless season for the Lakers, too. I sense a Dallas dynasty.
Only a few hours separate me from another morning with Mickey House and the gang. I am tempted to think DeSean Jackson, showboater extraordinaire, devised their "Hot Dog Dance." I am sure he will be able to perform his moves in early January at a dance club instead of during a playoff game. Ah, an opportunity to rag Jackson, how could I resist? It is an opportunity whose knock I will always answer.

The only stamping around here lately is my feet. I'm so frustrated with how busy this week is turning out to be.
So far this week is beginning to be a "make more work" for Marie week. Lots of errands and very little me time.
I've been running errands, doing paperwork, trying to fix broken stuff, and trying to get my house ready for painting.
Errands! I feel like I'm forever dropping off and picking up stuff. It never ends. Dry Cleaning, tickets to my son's play, my daugter's cell phone, my LOST cell phone, late DVDs and PS2 game rentals, stuff for the school's silent auction..... the to-do list goes on and on and on. And even though I'm crossing stuff off it seems that everyday new stuff is added.
Fixing stuff! The TV mysteriously broke down, the cars need repairs, the fridge needs to be serviced, I need a manicure and my roots need attention.
Painting my house! I met with a painter yesterday and he wants me to pick paint colours by Friday and clear out rooms so he can start painting next week! I thought he was going to say "we're really busy right now. how about July?" Which is what I was expecting but nooooo he's coming with his crew of 6 or 7 next week AND my opinionated, colour blind husband wants to "help" pick the paint colours! Which adds to my to-do list - pick up paint samples from the paint store and put them on the wall for all of us to look at and still not know which colours to pick...
Unexpected things have been happening to me this week. Where is my me time? I feel like it's Friday already! I've pulled out some paper and stamps but I just haven't had the chance to do a thing with them! I want to do Diane's sketch challenge this week but I'm blocked. Lost my mojo. My creative juices are being stifled by my growing list of "other" things to do each day.
What kind of things you ask? Well for starters the TV broke down. My kids are so suspicious of me that when they went to turn it on (before school) and it didn't work the first thing out of their mouths is "What did you do to the TV mom?". Like I disabled it so that they couldn't waste time watching TV in the morning instead of getting ready for school. Like I've done that before...
But no really - the TV is broken and the repairman is coming tomorrow. I'm convinced that "they" make stuff these days to fall apart after a few years so that you have to buy a new one. Everything is disposable! In my parents' day a TV would last a really long time. Not like our 6 year old one which has bit the dust. Hopefully the repairman can fix it - LOST is on tomorrow night!
The cars are occupying too much of my time of late. I've already been to the dealership this week (yesterday with my husband's car) and I've got to go back on Thursday for my car because it needs brakes. Found this out when I took it in for new tires last week (2 hours at the tire place). I hardly get to drive my car these days except when I'm taking in for service. You see the weather has turned warmer and it's a convertible. Well that makes no sense right? But it does because my husband wants to drive it and has given me his car to drive. We've swapped and the same thing happened last year too. As soon as the weather turns nice he wants to drive the convertible when the rains start he doesn't want to drive it. Ohhhh you feel sorry for me that my husband has taken my car? How sweet - but don't. I really don't like it! At first it was such a treat but then the honeymoon was over and reality set in. What was I doing with a convertible? First of all it's standard (5 speed) and a two door - with 2 kids and a dog - come on need I say more? I'd much rather drive his SUV for as long as I can.
Well I should go walk the dog before it gets too late. Speaking of the dog he has needs too. I've got to take him to the groomers tomorrow!
Then I'm homebound to wait for the TV repairman who's given me a 3 hour window (bless his heart). Maybe I can get some stamping done then or when I'm at the dealership on Thursday waiting 3 hours for my brakes...

Maui's Wedding Pros start airing on our show over the next several weeks! Plus, our new reality show called "Down the Aisle on an Isle" scheduled to air on OC16 starting March 2011. One of our reality couples was able to save over 57% of their entire wedding package, valued at over $17,000, a savings of over $9,500, while the vendors participating get a huge promotional package on OC16, 3-4 weeks in a row, 5-7 times a week and no repeats!!
Wedding couples – save up to 60% off your Entire wedding expenses. Wedding vendors and wedding planners – save up to 80% off costs for television, live streaming and 24/7 viewing access via OC16. Join us! . If any of your clients would like to participate or perhaps you know of any wedding couples who would like to be on the reality show, let me know!!
With this show, host Kahu Kalehua Featheran and crew introduce wedding professionals from the island of Maui. Over the next few months, viewers will get to meet wedding pros from the Valley Isle and see some of the scenic sights on Maui.
|Tori Rogers of Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners
When she works with a wedding couple, Tori begins by asking them for their vision of how they would like their wedding to be. She then personalizes this vision and incorporates family and friends into it. One of her questions to the wedding couple is, what are the 5 most important words that describe your wedding and the 3 most important elements (within the budget). In her experience, she usually finds that family and friends are first, then food and beverage and finally fun (entertainment). Tori will ensure that the venue will be able to accommodate everyone who is being invited to the wedding and reception and then finds the best vendors who will fit the couple's personality. The result – a truly enjoyable and memorable day for the bride and groom!
|Marie Audant of Maui Cake Store
Marie's cakes are made from scratch, following old family recipes. She can bake cakes for clients who have special dietary requests such as vegan cakes or cakes with no sugar for diabetics. Her signature cake is a Chocolate Decadence cake made from 3 types of chocolate and 3 different types of filling. Marie also arranges for cake tasting with her couples and offers 36 different flavors. Just hearing her describe the cake makes you hungry for a slice. And speaking of slice, Marie's cakes are so moist that a slice of cake will stand on it's own and not crumble as other cakes may.
Marie's most beautiful wedding memory is the marriage of Jaret Wright, pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. And for a local couple, Junior and Rona's 600 guests enjoyed a satellite layout of 12 cakes with a castle on the top of a cake. When you visit Marie's website, you can see photos of the many and varied type of cake designs – all original and beautifully done!
Show times are as follows:
Premier – Friday at 6:30pm
Saturday at 12:30am and 1:30pm
Monday at 5pm
Tuesday at 6am and 2pm
Friday at 9am

What is the Solution???
Monday, October 13, 2008
Being Hindu
And let's not be hypocritical. If there is no "Islamic Terrorism" there cannot ever be a "Hindu Extremism". Same logic: terrorists are only a handful, not the entire community therefore extremists are also a handful and not the entire Hindu community. They are just youth misled by communal forces. They cannot be called HINDU. This is where the bias and the ulterior agenda of Media kicks in. "HINDUS ATTACK CHURCHES IN ORISSA". It's splashed all over newspapers and TVCs. Really? Have "Hindus" attacked? Come on! One has to be blind to not see the hypocrisy. And then all the intelligentsia indulges in self-blame and how disgraceful it is for Hindus to do such dastardly acts and then we begin questioning "Is my religion really the greatest?" Have we stopped to consider how many Muslim youth live in poverty and how perhaps Islam in India is not really doing a great job. Is it not a discredit then? Is it not time to consider whether Muslims should send kids to schools or Madarsaas?But I will tell you what. We have no guts to ask OR to answer these kind of questions because it requires one to introspect.

I have made this 3 times now and it is delicious every time, even with the substitutions I have made when I was out of something. Today, I substituted 1% milk for half and half because half and half is almost $5 a pint at both grocery stores close to me and SOOOO much cheaper at Costco and frankly, I did not want to go to Costco for one thing 🙂 I don't pay $5 for 2 gallons of milk, come on…
On to the recipe:
This makes enough for about 6 people or 8+ if you're serving small children. I have an almost teen age boy and a 7-year-old, plus my husband and I and we still have plenty of leftovers
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely diced celery
2 cups finely diced potatoes, I used red's and left the peel on.
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
4 cups half-and-half (or milk, see note above), warmed
2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
1 dash pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
In a medium saucepan, drain the juice from the clams; set the clams aside.
Combine clam juice with the onions, celery and potatoes.
Add enough water to barely cover and simmer, covered, over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
In a large saucepan or dutch oven, melt the butter.
Add flour and stir in to the butter.
Slowly whisk in the warm half-and-half.
Cook and whisk until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes
If you want a thinner chowder, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup water or clam juice.
Add the vegetables with their cooking liquid, clams, salt, pepper and sugar to the pan.
Stir well and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Some history about Ivar's, in case you are not from the Northwest and have no Idea who this Ivar fellow is.
Ivar's is a seafood restaurant chain based in Seattle, Washington, with operations in the Puget Sound region and in Spokane, Washington.
Ivar's was founded in 1938 by Seattle folk singer Ivar Haglund. Having built Seattle's first aquarium on what is now Pier 54, he decided to add a companion fish and chips bar to feed his visitors. The bar was short-lived, however. On July 22, 1946, Haglund opened a new restaurant, Ivar's Acres of Clams, at the same location. The aquarium closed ten years later, but the restaurant remains.
Ivar's has two other full-service restaurants: Ivar's Salmon House in Seattle's Northlake neighborhood, and Ivar's Mukilteo Landing in Mukilteo, Washington, next to the Washington State Ferries terminal. There is a fishbar outside of all three full-service restaurants. All its other locations are seafood bars. Ivar's created the famous saying of "keep clam" that is posted all over each of the eateries.
Nard Jones remarked in 1972 that Haglund was "not afraid to reflect Puget Sound tradition in the decor of his restaurants, whereas others of his profession seem intent on making their patrons forget where they are." In this respect, he singled out the Salmon House, "an almost exact replica of an old Indian longhouse.
Every Independence Day from 1964 until 2008, Ivar's sponsored the Fourth of Jul-Ivar's festival and fireworks show at Downtown Seattle's Myrtle Edwards Park on Elliott Bay. Ivar's estimated its attendance at around 300,000 people. On April 3, 2009, Ivar's announced it was no longer sponsoring its Fourth of Jul-Ivar's community fireworks show. Ivar's decided to focus its efforts on feeding families in the Pacific Northwest through its partnership with Northwest Harvest.
Ivar's also owns the Seattle-based burger restaurant chain Kidd Valley Hamburgers.

I am No Longer the Same Person
Dear Kuya Olan,
A blessed day to you and all the staff of Youngster magazine. I've been reading this magazine since I was in Grade 9. I am already in Grade 11 at the Sisters of Mary School-Boystown in Cebu. Kuya, I would like to ask advice from you regarding my attitude here in my school. In my elementary years, I was considered by my teachers as the naughtiest (pinakamakulit) in school. Well, it was because of my misbehavior inside and outside the classroom. Now it is totally different. Some have noticed that I am no longer the same person from my elementary years. Even my townmates say that my attitude has become the opposite of who I was.
Even how difficult my life was, I tried my best to do what was good, but there were hindrances and problems always. At times, I tend to commit mistakes and accumulate failures. I admit that I misbehave at times, but what hurts most is when my classmates criticize me and say unsavory words to me.
I am not an optimistic person, Kuya. Honestly, I just kept silent whenever somebody would criticize me. Kuya, I know that you could help me.
#ThinkPositive of SMS
Minglanilla, Cebu
Dear #ThinkPositive of SMS,
It is really nice to know that you have been reading Youngster for the past two years and that it has reached out to youngsters like you in the Visayas. You seem to withdraw from people around you especially those who give feedback about you. The criticisms you get from your classmates, teachers, and folks in your town are reactions to who you are and what you do. People will not be talking or saying something about you if they have not noticed anything about you.
There are some well-meaning people who serve as mirrors. They mirror the things you do. Try giving an analytical and objective perspective to what they are saying about you. I think it won't be difficult for you to listen to them every now and then. Perhaps it may help you find your own self in the process. If you keep on looking outward and not inward, chances are, you may turn blind to your own attitude and character.
It is kinda ironic that you use "ThinkPositive" as your penname when in reality you have admitted that you are not optimistic. It is about time that you become one. Try checking on what others say about you and ponder on it. Make the necessary adjustments in your ways where you find it appropriate. And mind you, you are not the only person in this world who commit mistakes and accumulate failures—we all do! Nobody is immune to it. But what is great about mistakes and failures is that all of us can learn from and correct our mistakes. We can rise above our failures if we choose to do so.
So perk up. It is a big world out there waiting for you! To clamp down and withdraw from it will only rob you of what you can be and are capable of. Speak out and express yourself in a way that is acceptable to others. God will help those who help themselves. Help yourself; God will be there to assist you, and the many other people who wish the best for you will do the same.
In Christ through Mary,
Kuya Olan

This group, clearly well-groomed for jihad, used the Qur'an and invited this prospective convert to a mosque. How odd that those in the mosque who understood their peaceful religion correctly didn't explain the True, Peaceful Islam to this hirsute quartet.
"Police officer infiltrated group who "˜groomed men for jihad", court told," by John Scheerhout for the Manchester Evening News, May 10 (thanks to all who sent this in):
A police officer has told a terror trial he went undercover to infiltrate a gang of alleged radical Muslims accused of urging British men to fight holy war.
The officer, known in court as "˜Ray", said he adopted the Islamic name Abdul Rahman during a 12-month operation into the activities of a group of four men.
The men deny allegations that they urged undercover cops to carry out Jihad — or holy war — in Afghanistan.
The Crown allege Munir Farooqi — said to have fought alongside the Taliban in 2001 — and three other defendants used stalls in Longsight and central Manchester to convert people to Islam. The prosecution say they tried to groom both Ray and a second undercover officer, known in court as "˜Simon", to fight and if necessary die in Afghanistan.
Ray — who gave evidence from behind a screen on the third day of the trial at Manchester Crown Court — said he spent two or three weeks establishing himself in Longsight before getting to know Mr Farooqi.
He said: "I was playing the part of someone who has very low social ties, who did not have a social background as such. Somebody who was for want of a better word down on their luck. Somebody who was looking to be befriended or speak to somebody."
Apparently Farooqi tried to convert Ray to Islam and make him a jihadist:
Ray said he had approached Mr Farooqi's stall and the pair had exchanged pleasantries.
He said Mr Farooqi then asked him if he was a Christian, the jury heard.
"I asked him what he meant by that," said Ray. "He asked me if I was an atheist and I asked what he meant by that. He said, "˜Do you believe in God?"
"My reply to that was that I believed in something, and the conversation went from there.
"He asked me if I knew what the Koran was. I think I explained it was the Islamic version of the Bible, or words to that effect, and the conversation went from there."
The jury heard the pair exchanged mobile phone numbers and Ray was handed a series of Islamic leaflets, a copy of the Koran and some DVDs.
Ray then told the jury the pair discussed the difference between a church and a mosque before Mr Farooqi invited him to a mosque in Ardwick.
Mr Farooqi, 54, and his son Harris Farooqi, 27 – both of Victoria Terrace, Longsight – are charged with engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism by attempting to recruit others to engage in violence abroad.
Matthew Newton, 29, and Israr Malik, 22, face the same charge….

Young Male Cat Peeing On Bed
For Complex News, I'm Sean Evans with hopefully the last of these Meek MillDrake storiesfor a while, at least. By now, everyone knows that Meek Mill fired back at Drake last night with a diss track called Wanna Know. By most accounts, the track fell flat.bricked.crickets. But, if there's a line that has legs, it's the one about Drake getting peed on in a movie theater. The obvious questions here are who peed on Drake, and why Well on Tuesday morning, Julia Beverly of Ozone Magazine offered up an explanation for both, citing sources.
Who said that Drake caught some splash when T.I.'s piss drunk uncle urinated in an aisle during a special premiere screening of Takers. Don't worryno one really remembers that movie either. She went on to provide a detailed look at the alleged wizzer's criminal history, which includes a 1998 charge for felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm. He's currently serving a life sentence in a Georgia prison. What would you do Beverly asked. Well quite frankly, this guy's rap sheet is the least scary thing about him. If you're.

Atlantic Airways and Airbus have signed a memorandum of understanding on the purchase of an Airbus 320 to be delivered in late 2016. The final agreement will be signed in June.
Atlantic Airways plans to purchase a new aircraft of the type Airbus 320. The Faroese carrier and the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus have signed a memorandum of understanding, in which they have agreed on guidelines for the purchase of the aircraft. The purchasing price will not be made public.
According to the plan, Airbus will deliver the aircraft in late 2016. Atlantic Airways is taking steps to buy the larger aircraftdue to the increasing demand on the route between the Faroes and Copenhagen. The new craft will primarily serve this route.
Airbus 320 is planned to have 168 seats, 24 more than the Airbus 319, which has a capacity of 144 passengers. Currently, there are three Airbus 319 in Atlantic Airways' fleet, one of which the company owns while it leases the other two. The leasing contracts for the two aircrafts expire in September 2016. The company plans to extend one of these contracts to secure sufficient capacity until the new aircraft has been acquired and while the new NORTH routes are being built up.
Until the fall of 2016, Atlantic Airways has opted to serve the NORTH routes with Airbus 319s. In this trial period the company will determine whether it is feasible to acquire a smaller plane to serve these routes. The company is still researching what type of aircraft is ideal for the NORTH routes.
In summary, within the next few years, Atlantic Airways plans to have a fleet consisting of an Airbus 320, an Airbus 319 and an aircraft suited for the NORTH routes.
The new aircraft, just as the company's A 319, will be equipped with Airbus' advanced navigation technology, RNP AR 0.1, which so far has resulted in a marked increase in regularity and so reducing delays. This is a GPS based technology, which Atlantic Airways has combined with the ILS systems commonly used byairports. Combined, this proves to be a very accurate navigation tool for both arrivals and departures.
The Faroese carrier has so far adapted RNP AR 0.1 to Vagar Airport's ILS system, making it the first airport in the world to use the new technology. With this Atlantic Airways' three Airbus planes are able to approach Vagar Airport at a lower altitude and less visibility than ever before.
Yours sincerely,
Atlantic Airways

What were the two hardest standards for my students (especially the students with Dyslexia) to master this year? Elapsed time and rounding. While I'm still working on how to help the students make connections with time, I did engage a lot more students (especially the boys) with rounding by tying it into this football theme.
Check it out!!
Feel free to purchase it here. Thanks for your interest!! :)


text: didn't believe that Toshiba's Super Resolution Technology was anything worth writing home over, and hey, we hate to say we told you so. The outfit's 46XV545U was recently reviewed over at CNET, and critics found the internal upscaling technology to be more of a gimmick than anything. Sure, it artificially sharpened some SD content for the better, but all in all, the SRT system fell under the "bad," not the "good." Overall, the set offered up a decidedly decent experience from top to bottom, yielding a "Good" rating and three out of five stars. In other words, take your dollars elsewhere -- competition is fierce, and you're in no place to settle for less than the best in any given price range.

"It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is."
Our lesson before Thanksgiving in my eighth grade history classes was about a court case called Marbury v. Madison. In this case (1803) the United States Supreme Court declared that its role would be to evaluate laws to make sure they did not conflict with our Constitution. This sentence is part of the decision. As part of their assignment on this decision, my students were supposed to define the word "province" as it is used in this context.
Over half of them used this definition: "an administrative division or unit of a country."
It would be bad enough if they had merely gotten confused. Their mistake moved into the category of an insult because I used exactly this quote - and said incorrect definition - as an example of why it was important to look carefully at the context. "Every year students use the first definition in the dictionary for this word, " I warned. "Be careful! 'An administrative division or unit of a country' is referring to how some countries - like Canada - are divided. The US is divided into states, Canada is divided into provinces. This is not the correct definition for the word as it is used in this court decision. Keep reading the definitions and find the one that fits the context in the sentence."
And over half of them STILL used the first definition.
How long until I can retire?


text:
- Symbol = "any object, typically material, which is meant to represent another."
- Metaphor = "The use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it isn't, implying a similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described, and without the words 'like' or 'as.'"
- Simile = "a figure of speech in which one thing is compared to another, generally using like or as." Allusion = "Indirect reference; a hint; a reference to something supposed to be known, but not explicitly mentioned; a covert indication."
- Description = Concrete illustration of a person, place, or thing by an appeal to one or more of the five physical senses.
- Juxtaposition = "A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side, often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences."
- Contrast = difference.
- Comparison = similarity
- Parallelism = "agreement or similarity; resemblance; correspondence; analogy; likeness."
- Ambiguity = "something liable to more than one interpretation, explanation or meaning, if that meaning etc cannot be determined from its context."
- Repetition = "the act or an instance of repeating or being repeated."
- Irony = "a statement that, when taken in context, may actually mean the opposite of what is written literally; the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention."
Note: Except for the definitions of "contrast," "similarity," and "description," these definitions are taken from Allwords.com, an "English Dictionary - With Multi-Lingual Search"
Of course, it is one thing to know the meanings of words; it is another thing entirely to learn to master the concepts to which they point. A dictionary cannot teach us to do that. To learn the techniques, we must apprentice ourselves to the masters and learn from observing them at work. For example, to learn to use symbolism effectively, we might study the works of Stephen Crane, Jonathan Swift, and Mark Twain. Ambiguity might be best learned from the example of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Proverbs can teach more than morality; Proverbs can also teach us how to employ parallelism, both complementary and antithetical. Poe is a master of symbolism, too, but he is also gifted in the art of juxtaposition and repetition. There are many masters from which to learn. We have already learned a preliminary lesson, however: a knowledge of the meaning of words is merely a beginning. To become adepts, we must become students of the adept.

Google's Doodles are always a neat thing to behold. Today's Doodle appears to take a
philatelic design cue from #1475, the first Love stamp issued 1973. Once could argue that it's designed after the famous Love sculpture in Philadelphia by Robert Indiana, but the inclusion of green and blue and the border around the logotype looks more to me like the stamp.
What I didn't realize is that there are LOVE sculptures in more than a dozen cities around the globe.
