In an alternate Japan, territorial street gangs form opposing factions collectively known as the Tokyo Tribes. Merra, leader of the Wu-Ronz tribe of Bukuro joins forces with heavy hitting sadistic gangster Buppa of Buppa Town. With Buppa's support, Merra aims to initiate a gang war between the Wu-Ronz and the Musashino Saru, and in a confrontation between the two attempts to kill popular member of the Musashino Saru - Kai. By mistake, Merra instead kills Kai's friend Tera (a Musashino Saru member beloved by members of all Tribes since before their formation). This leads to the joining of forces between all of the Tokyo Tribes in an all out war against Merra and Buppa's forces.

First Line - "Dearest brother, all is well here and I have quite recovered from my bout of cold"
When Georgiana Darcy travels to Netherfield to visit her brother, she becomes friends with a neighbor, Elizabeth Bennet. After Miss Darcy returns to town, she invites her new friend to stay with her at the Darcy home in London while her brother is away. Mr. Darcy returns unexpectedly and is trapped under the same roof with Elizabeth Bennet for three weeks. Will this change in circumstances lead to a change in affections? Can Elizabeth see past his hauteur to the man underneath? Filled with familiar faces and new characters, you will fall in love with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy all over again.Well, the blurb was right, I did fall in love with Elizabeth and Mr Darcy all over again! I feel I'm going to give all my JAFF books a glowing review as I'm just loving being back in the P&P world, no matter what the circumstances of the story. That might all change,
obviously, as I venture further into what's available but so far (and to be fair I've only read two, including this one) I'm hooked.
Since my last post I've found out that my label of 'FF' wasn't far off, it's actually known as 'JAFF' (Jane Austen Fan Fiction). So many sub genres too...
So, the story - Well, I thought it was great. Darcy was adorable and Elizabeth was Elizabeth, what's not to like? The other P&P main cast were mostly missing so that the story could focus on the two important people but Georgiana had a big part to play in the proceedings and I liked to see her friendship with Elizabeth growing.
It still seems a bit strange to read about Darcy and Elizabeth and have them doing things outside of the limits from P&P. I suppose that's the draw of JAFF but I'm not sure how that will work when I get into the modern retellings. Time will tell, I suppose...

Toronto has enjoyed a steady diet of Robert Lepage's genius in the last three years. The Andersen Project at Canadian Stage, Eonnagata at the Sony Centre, Lipsynch at Luminato, The Nightingale at Canadian Opera and Cirque du Soleil's Totem at the Port Lands have served up a buffet of his work, from the avant-garde to the crowd-pleasing.
Now Mirvish Productions has gotten in on the trend, bringing Lepage's 2008 Chinese-themed play The Blue Dragon to the Royal Alexandra Theatre as part of its subscription season. It's the perfect choice. For the uninitiated – like those Mirvish patrons more accustomed to commercial fare – it's an excellent introduction to all that die-hard Lepage fans cherish about the man's work.
That is, it tells a small, deeply human story which elegantly mirrors the larger world. And it does so with stage artistry so fluidly, breathtakingly inventive that it makes even big-budget Broadway musicals look dull. Or to compare it to the hit Mirvish show that just closed at the neighbouring Princess of Wales Theatre, The Blue Dragon is a Mozart flute solo next to Mary Poppins's blaring brass band.
In this semi-sequel to their 1985 work The Dragons' Trilogy, Lepage and his co-writer, Marie Michaud, catch up with a character last seen departing Canada for China. Now, a couple of decades on, expat Quebec artist Pierre Lamontagne (Henri Chassé) has all but given up on painting and instead runs a gallery in Shanghai. In classic midlife-crisis mode, he's taken a younger lover, gifted artist Xiao Ling (Tai Wei Foo), who is also his protégée. He discovered her working in a Hong Kong tattoo parlour, where she gave him the titular blue dragon that adorns his back.
Claire Forêt (Michaud), Pierre's old art-school classmate and one-time lover, is undergoing midlife pangs of her own. Alone and in her 40s, she's arrived in China to adopt a baby. Her reunion with Pierre digs up old feelings and a secret that threatens his relationship with Xiao Ling.
That's the simple human story, acted here with understatement by Chassé (in the role originated by Lepage) and with sardonic humour and quiet pathos by a superb Michaud. When her Claire returns empty-handed from Nanchang, having failed to bond with her prospective child, you feel the crushing sadness of a woman who has spent her life pursuing love and being rejected. She does, however, make an unexpected connection with Xiao Ling, played appealingly by Tai Wei Foo. Tai also doubles as the show's dancer-choreographer, performing between scenes both in a graceful traditional Chinese style and in the aggressive martial manner of a rifle-toting Maoist.
Throughout the show, those past images of China bump up against the current reality of a communist state with capitalist ambitions. The change is most keenly felt by Pierre in the arts enclave where he lives and works, which is now being threatened by rampant development. Although Michaud and Lepage never directly address China's artistic repression, the fate of Pierre's home eerily foreshadows the demolition of controversial artist Ai Weiwei's Shanghai studio last year.
All of the above is rich fodder for Lepage the magician-director, who once again combines theatrical sleight of hand with striking imagery that suggests an animated painting or a live film.
This is a play about artists and Lepage stages it on a two-tiered set by Michel Gauthier that suggests an art gallery – even when it serves as, variously, an airport, a sushi bar, a train platform, a boat deck and Pierre's tiny sky-lit apartment, among other locales. The set, with sliding, steel-like curtains, is often reduced to smaller rectangles so that scenes take on the appearance of paintings. And it also frames actual artwork, from Pierre's calligraphy demonstration that opens the play to an exhibition of Xiao Ling's pop-art-flavoured self-portraits. The dialogue is occasionally in French and Mandarin, so subtitles are projected between the tiers in a style and font that also makes it look as though we're viewing the text above the panels of a comic strip.
Changes in the weather play a role in the storytelling. At different times the amazing lighting of Louis-Xavier Gagnon-Lebrun and projections of David Leclerc whip up lightning storms, driving rain and a delicate snowfall. Sound designer Jean-Sébastien Côté, meanwhile, uses Chinese-style percussion in a rattling cacophony to conjure up hordes of people in public places, or as subtle, precise punctuation for intimate scenes.
The Blue Dragon begins in a blue mood, but it ends with a witty coup de théâtre and some warm rays of hope. Even if it didn't, you'd still leave the theatre wide-eyed and buoyant. As the die-hards among us know, Lepage's playful genius does that to you.
The Blue Dragon
- Written by Marie Michaud and Robert Lepage
- Translated by Michael Mackenzie
- Directed by Robert Lepage
- Starring Henri Chassé, Marie Michaud and Tai Wei Foo
- An Ex Machina production
- At the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto
The Blue Dragon runs until Feb. 19.

So here's my letter to 13 year old for my Blog Every Day Of May challenge which I didn't get to complete in May because of exams getting in the way but have decided to carry on and finish it anyway! I am going to finish the challenge even if it is getting finished in June! -
Dear 13 year old me,
First things first you are going to have the most roller coaster of emotions and events in the next 10 years of your life but never feel that things are getting to the point where you won't be able to come out of it and cope because no matter how low or how bad things get there will always be something or someone around who will help to make things better.
You are much stronger than you realise and it's this strength that gets you through.
When you go shopping you should not buy every item that you like because you literally do not have enough room to store it all and you don't need to buy 5 different hair sprays or shampoos - just stick to the one and save the cash!
Also cut your hair off as much as you like and experiment as your hair does grow back and experimenting is good!
Listen to what Hayley said's as well because as always she knows exactly the right thing to say and do even if you don't want to admit to her she's right she's right!
And lastly just ignore what those who just want to put you down because it makes them feel better - ignore them because one day you'll meet decent people of course there will always be those that feel the need to be idiots but you will one day find friends for life.
And one last thing DON'T stress or OVERTHINK too much - it's not good for you!
Love 22 year old you!

The story so far: We have established that M&S clearly states that it consider langauge to be 'part of' a literal. We identified 3 use cases requiring language support: Martyn's Jan's OCLC's Of these Martyn's did not consider representation of language in a literal to be important. The other two found the M&S specification of language as part of a literal to be useful and adequate for their needs. I propose therefore that: o a literal be regarded as a pair (s,l) where s is a string of ISO10646 characters and l is either null or a language identifier as defined in RFC 1766 or its successors. o that an item be included in the errata for M&S: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2001Jun/att-0021/00-part#33 which should make it clear that a literal is not just a simple string, but a compound structure including an optional representation of a language encoding. It should be noted that other parts of the text of the specification may need similar clarification. o that n-triple be modified to represent the language encoding of a literal o that we delay determining the wording of the errata and the change to n-triple until issue http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-literal-is-xml-structure is resolved as the outcome of that issue may further refine the definition of a literal.

Tips for Senior Portraits
Consider the following before your shoot:
- The right clothing! There are no restrictions on how many outfits you want to change into so pick your favorite outfits and the ones that reflect YOU and your personal style. Long sleeves are best, but you can bring a mix. Remember change of seasons – bring a sweater or favorite coat, hats and scarves. Pay attention to your socks! Dark is best. White socks will cost $$ to have retouched darker.
- Good hair – best not to try any drastic dyes or cuts just before your shoot!
- Minor blemishes? No problem – we do retouching! Smile and be yourself.
- GIRLS – makeup that works. GUYS – a close shave!
- Keep in mind that we can print any of your images in black & white at no extra charge.
- Don't get burned! Avoid over-exposure from the sun or tanning beds.
- Keep jewelry to a minimum! Glare from large or flat jewelry can be a distraction.
- Get plenty of rest before your session! If you're tired, it will show.
- Bring any props that reflect who you are, for example a musical instrument or sports equipment, or bring a friend – we can take additional photos of your best friend, cherished pet or valued family member.
- Relax and enjoy your senior portrait session – you've earned it! The way to get your best Senior portraits is to call Avalon Photography TODAY!

THE OLYMPIC CHARTER declares that discrimination by gender is "incompatible with belonging" to the Olympic movement, and that "the practice of sport is a human right." These noble principles have long been ignored in Saudi Arabia, which has never sent a female athlete to the adult games.
On Sunday, the Saudi Embassy in London issued a short statement announcing that qualifying female athletes could compete in the upcoming London games under the auspices of the Saudi Olympic Committee. But don't expect a surge of Saudi women to arrive at Heathrow Airport dreaming of a medal. The equestrian Dalma Rushdi Malhas, who won an individual bronze in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, was thought to be the one Saudi female with potential for London, but on Monday it was announced she could not participate because an injury to her horse cost her a month's work during the qualification period.
The International Olympic Committee has criticized the Saudi record in the past, but without disqualifying the kingdom. In 1999, the IOC barred the Taliban, then in control of much of Afghanistan, from the 2000 Sydney games, at least in part for excluding women. Some questions were raised this year about whether Saudi Arabia should be similarly tossed. Saudi officials told the BBC that this prospect sparked six weeks of intense and secret discussions in the country led by King Abdullah, who has supported a gradual — very gradual — expansion of rights for women. If Saudi women do take part in the games, officials said they will wear a sports hijab, a scarf covering the hair but not the face.
The announcement will forestall disqualification, but it doesn't solve the deeper problem. As Human Rights Watch pointed out in a February report, discrimination is entrenched against Saudi women in athletics, as in many fields. The Saudi National Olympic Committee does not have a women's section, nor does any of the country's 29 sporting federations. There is no government sports infrastructure for women. All designated buildings, sport clubs, courses, expert trainers and referees are limited to men's sports. Girls in state schools do not have the physical education classes that boys do, although the government has promised to change that. Private gyms and fitness clubs set up by women were closed in recent years for lack of licenses, and then licenses were never issued.
Strict interpretations of Islamic law and deeply rooted traditions, including rigorous separation of men and women, have stifled the rights of women for a long time. It is hardly sufficient for Saudi Arabia to announce that women can participate, just weeks before the London games open, while it continues to deny them basic rights at home. The true spirit of the Olympic movement dictates that in athletics, and in all of society, the kingdom needs to do more.

Tanzania, Uganda in Joint Land Reform Agenda
Tanzania and Uganda have resolved to work closely together on the management of land issues, especially the ones related to land reform implementation.
They reached the decision during meetings held over the weekend, when a delegation of senior government officials from Tanzania visited Uganda for three days, to learn firsthand, progress made on land reforms.
The delegation was led by the Permanent Secretary in the Prime Minister's Office responsible for Policy and Government Coordination, Professor Faustine Kamuzora.
Others in the delegation included the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Humans Settlements Development, Ms Dorothy Mwanyika, and Coordinator of the Integrated Land Management Information System (ILMIS) Barney Laseko.
The ILMIS project which seeks to effect fundamental reforms and benefits in land management and security of tenure of land ownership in Tanzania, is coordinated by the Prime Minister's Office and implemented by the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Human Settlements Development. The Project is funded by the World Bank.
Last week, on July 31, the first phase of the ILMIS Project which was being implemented on trial basis in Kinondoni and Ubungo Municipal Councils of Dar es Salaam Region for two years, came to a conclusion ready for a possible countrywide roll out beginning with the Ilala, Temeke and Kigamboni Councils, again in Dar es Salaam.
The neighbouring country of Uganda has been implementing a similar project for seven years now, and as is the case for Tanzania, their project is being funded by the World Bank.
Both countries started discussions and preparations on undertaking the project way back in 2005, but to some reasons, implementation was delayed, more so in Tanzania than in Uganda.
In a meeting with the Minister of State for Land in Uganda, Honorable Princess Persis Namganza (pictured), the delegation from Tanzania expressed its delight at being given an opportunity to learn from the experience of Uganda and especially on matters related to massive benefits of land reforms to the Ugandan people in the last seven years of the implementation of the National Land Information System in the country.
Prof Kamuzora briefed the minister on the policy efforts that Tanzania was undertaking in the important area of land reform under ILMIS, achievements that have so far been noted and challenges that the country has been facing in implementing such a fundamental change in land ownership.
Ms Mwanyika also sketched the actual implementation of the ILMIS reforms in Tanzania and emphasized the importance of both countries exchanging information on reforms as well as the experiences they had noted, which, while they will be quite beneficial to the people, were also new to both countries and were coupled by challenges.
She called for further cooperation between the two countries, saying that as neighbouring countries, decisions on land management in one country were likely to affect land ownership in the other.
The Tanzanian delegation also met and held talks with the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Ms Dorcas W Okalany at the Ministry headquarters in Kampala. During the talks, Ms Okalany told the Tanzanian delegation that Uganda now believed that land was gold, a fact that for ages Ugandans and even other Africans did not know and appreciate.
She remarked: "The reforms we are undertaking will further benefit Uganda and other African countries and its people by enhancing the security of tenure of land ownership and even increase the level of investment on the continent.
For us, this reform process is very fundamental indeed." Information available from the World Bank indicates that it is only Tanzania and Uganda on the African continent that have moved furthest in issues related to land reform implementation.
Both Kenya and Ghana are at the initial stages. Besides the meetings, the Tanzania delegation was also given a detailed briefing on the implementation of the land reform efforts in Uganda by Ms Richard Oput, Coordinator of the National Land Reform Project in the country.
She also visited the Ministry Zonal Office (MZO) at Mukono, on the suburbs of Kampala, and the MZO in Jinja, Uganda's second largest city, to see the actual implementation of the land reform efforts in the country.

On Easter Sunday, a perfect day here in India, we all drove up to Jalori Pass. It's over 11,000 feet at the summit. Quite a climb from Jibhi. We drove to the road summit and then had a short climb from there. With incredible, almost indescribable views and beauty, and in a setting of serenity and reflection, we took in all that God had to offer us on this day.
After a short while on our own we assembled ourselves in a circle in a nest of trees, giving us part sun and part shade, creating what felt like to me was the ideal setting for what was to happen next. One by one we shared what we are grateful for in each of our lives. In stillness, quietness, and peace we attentively and connectedly listened to one another as each of us shared from our hearts.
Following that we were given notes and supportive heartfelt messages from our loved ones. We separated a bit to give one another space and to be solely with those in our hearts and minds. I so enjoyed this time. Having been on prior expeditions, I knew that this was coming. I was so excited for each of these kids to experience this for themselves for the first time. From where I was sitting, I observed some kids smiling from ear to ear, some crying softly, trying to keep tears from landing on their notes, and some peacefully pondering in humility and gratitude. It was a special experience for me, and I'm certain it was also for each member of this expedition team.
Prior to departing for this excursion, I had the opportunity to rent a motorcycle from a local shop in Jibhi. Wait, what? I can rent a motorcycle and ride it in India? Sign me up!! Never before had I thought that this might actually happen. I couldn't wait to get started. I rented a Royal Enfield 350, a bike typical in India, they're everywhere. Built for the road and mpg's, they lack power. But am I complaining? Heck no! This was a great opportunity and I was jumping in with both feet. I rented this thing for 1550 rupees, and if my math is correct, that's $23.85 in US dollars. A steal of a deal. A brand new bike, never even been licensed, they tell me. All I had to do was to ride it, return it, and the gas was even part of the rental price. Yee haw!
Brian Noel also rented a bike. So the two of us, along with Raj and Sandeep, rode to the top of Jalori Pass. Everyone else in suv's. Now, you've got to picture what 'roads' are like here in India, and specifically the one to Jalori Pass. At home we may describe this road as a 4 wheeler trail or a mountain bike path. Perhaps Not really a road to us. At least one we'd consider driving our car on. And these bikes we're on have skinny road tires on them, not tires needed for this rugged terrain. This road is dusty, rocky, and typically narrow; you'd be amazed as to what Indians drive up them. Cars, trucks, buses, you name it. Motorcycles and practically everything else don't mix, somehow in India they do. As long as we pay attention, drive on the left side of the road, and keep our speed reasonable.
After our incredible experience at the Pass, we headed down to return to camp. All downhill of course. Lisa and Amy wanted to join in on this motorcycle experience, so Lisa jumped on Brian's bike and Amy on mine. We made sure we drove ever so cautiously on our way down. Some parts are pretty steep. And lots of rocks and gravel ahead of us, along with cows, sheep, goats, and vehicles going up.
We were about 2/3 the way down. I was moving slowly, keeping in mind I had Amy with me and did not want to make ANY mistakes. The dropoffs on some parts of this mountain road make this trip potentially dangerous, so I exercised every effort to keep us safe. Well that lasted for most of the way down anyway.
When we were moving at about 10mph I must have driven right into a rock in the road. Which is so easy to do...the road in parts like this one are all rocks. In an instant we were on the ground on our left side. (In recreating the event in my mind, had I been moving faster it probably wouldn't have been a problem, but moving slowly caused the front wheel to follow the rock as it shifted to the right when the tire hit it.) As soon as it happened I turned to Amy to see if she was alright. Amy's response is a new classic: "I'm fine; I only hit my head." Thank goodness she had a helmet on. I had a few cuts and some bruises is all. Nothing compared to my embarrassment of me allowing it to happen.
Completely embarrassed, I quickly picked up the bike and started it to get outta there before someone saw us. Too late. Some locals in a car behind us drove up and asked us if we wanted water. Amy told them 'no thanks' and off we went. In first gear only the rest of the way down. You see...the clutch lever was scraped, the hand grip torn, the front metal wheel flare was bent, the metal guard between the front wheel and the motor was broken, but the worst part was that the foot peg was bent backwards and into the gear shift lever, such that I could not get the bike out of first.
We got back to camp and Raj and Sandeep worked some magic on the bike, told me that they'd return it for me, as the owner would likely charge me more than he'd charge one of them. In a short while they returned and let me know of their agreed price with the owner for the damages...1000 rupees. 1000 rupees??? That's A little over $15!!
The next day, the owner recontacted them, said another 2000 rupees was needed to be fair. I readily agreed and paid it. Yeah, so another $30 or thereabouts. Can you believe it? That kind of sums up the Indian people, at least in Himachal Pradesh. In America the damages would easily be $500, my estimation. Here it's $45 and we're good. Amazing.
Amy and I decided to re-create the scene for you. Since it was after the fact, what I have to offer you is a photo of a bike that is similar to the one I rented and Amy and I showing what we must have looked like on the ground. We've had a bunch of laughs over the experience and I'm sure more will follow.
Shifting gears now (pun intended), this group is truly something special. We're now in Manalli, a bustling little city that attracts tourists from around the world. We left Jibhi 😭 this afternoon. Hard saying goodbye to the children we've grown so close to. Tomorrow we ride yaks and do some shopping. Followed by river rafting on Thursday. Events that allow us all to transition from teaching, serving, loving, and emotional goodbyes to winding down as we begin our roundabout journey homeward.
Tonight we met around an outdoor fire pit and did what we do every night, share what we learned about one another and from each other. Another way we connect and bond and continue to strengthen ourselves as a family.
If I had to describe this group in one word...that word would be ACCEPTING. Which is huge, I think. Uniqueness is valued, quirkiness is honored, and caring for one another is most important. We're a united team, YMAD and Antar Bano strong, and a forever connected family. It's a blessing to play a small part in that and be here with these young leaders and not so young leaders. Each of them inspires me.
Honored. Loved. Blessed.
