Re: Child Discipline
well, i believe you shouldn't hit kids, but i believe you should just tell them right from wrong, for example, a relationship between a kid and parents shouldn't be like this:
*kid does something wrong*
parent:jimmy don't do that
kid: f**k off.
parent:don't use bad language.
kid:screw you *leaves.*
i would think maybe just not hit but "take something away(e.x no TV for a week)" from the child, if they don't learn, try talking to them or something.
Long story short avoid hitting them.
Re: Child Discipline
I'm not sure what religion you guys are, but I'm going to use this quote from the bible (I'm not using it religiously, so don't sue me):
Proverbs 19:18;Discipline your children while there is hope. Otherwise you will ruin their lives.
Aura, I understand what you're saying. HOWever...
You gotta do what you can while it works. I know you said that they'll be afraid to step out of line, but don't you guys get it? That's the point! Eventually, they'll forget why they're afraid, they'll just remember it's wrong. Giving them a stern talking-to doesn't really lay down any lines, because next time they're about to do said action, they won't look back and say, "Oh, if I do this, I'm gonna get spanked." More than likely, they won't even remember you told them not to do it. Actions speak louder than words, as they say.
Also, this supports what I say (You gotta understand that I'm not influencing you to believe the bible, I just can't say it any better myself):
Proverbs 13:24"He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes (diligently)."
If you're not punishing your children right, how are they about to end up? No restrictions, no lines drawn that separates what's right from what's wrong other than a few words that they have forgotten since.
Now, that's not to say I'm not against child abuse. No, I strongly disagree with child abuse, but when it's merely a spanking or such, it's not necessarily child abuse. Pain is only temporary, while abuse is forever. Child abuse is a terrible thing, and it should never be practiced.
A child's mind is of foolishness, while a smack will send them driving away from it.
Re: Child Discipline
No. Being on the receiving end is, to my memory (and I didn't get a lot of it, really), absolutely and horribly terrifying. Also scary is how people's ideas of 'doing something really bad' differ. I got smacked the few times I was genuinely mean-spirited towards my sister, and mean-spiritedness is a thing kids just end up playing around with because it's interesting.
Don't hit things that are smaller than you, and that you have massive power relations with. ... or at all.
Wow, I could literally just never speak to or trust my parents at all ever again if they'd ever done more than they did. You're seriously jeopardising your future relationship with your kid.

Because if you look at all the different translations it can be interpreted quite differently.
Hebrews 12:7
Proverbs 23:13
Proverbs 29:15
Proverbs 29:17
Re: Child Discipline
Even aside from all the ethical problems with inflicting violence on your kids under any circumstances, they need to understand right and wrong, not just blindly learn by operant conditioning to do x and avoid y. Empathy and an understanding of consequences is the key to real moral behaviour; you can't get morality through pure conditioning.
As for how the kids end up? I was never punished as a kid - not physically, but I've also never been grounded, had my internet restricted, my toys taken away, or whatever. And also I went around convincing other kids to help me save earthworms from the street instead of killing them, being appalled when my brother took some licorice he wasn't supposed to have, and asked my parents' permission before I made a forum because it said to do so in the terms of service. Sure, not every kid is going to be identical, but the idea that punishment is the only way to make a kid behave is simply wrong.

Re: Child Discipline
Both of my parents have come close to being arrested due to how physical they were in disciplining me as a child. Mom, especially. And I'm still scared to death of her.
It has permanently lasting effects, and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Hi! I'm currently in the process of moving and my internet access is rather sporadic! Please forgive me, especially those in my #mafia game! Thanks!
Re: Child Discipline
Okay, I see where you're coming from, guys. But you're not doing parenting, "Wrong."
The way I see it, discipline is completely necessary at certain times. Chalumeau, I'm sure that must have been terrible, but that was probably child abuse, not discipline. That is WAY out of line.
Butterfree, if you've never been punished all these years and still turned out great, then that's awesome for you. But the way I see it, not all kids are as good to their parents as you were; while, obviously, you were far from perfect, you were closer than most, based on the fact that you thought you needed punishment for petitioning worms. o_O
But if you say the same thing over and over and your kid doesn't get it, what are you going to do? Apparently you saying it isn't helping at all, so you need to do something else. Now then, and only then is child discipline necessary. Unless you have the worst kid on the planet, it should NOT be an everyday thing- and it shouldn't be something that scars you for life. See, the things about these articles is that they erase the border between abuse and discipline.
Child discipline lasts a moment, but can permanently affect your future decisions.
Child abuse is just wrong.
Re: Child Discipline
The best 'punishment' though? Seriously? Explain why what they did was wrong. I promise you children are not idiots. They're simple maybe but speaking down to children like they are idiots is the most infuriating thing. If you tell them why what they did was wrong, and they agree - and children probably will because that's the age where they learn - they won't do it again. If you hit them, they'll fear you and they won't do it again while you're looking, but while you're not there? Sure. And plus, they learn that hitting's a great way to get what they want.
Re: Child Discipline
Okay. But don't take hitting out of the image entirely- I mean, I don't mean to sound vicious, but it is completely necessary at times. No, certainly don't do it all the time. Yes, make em sit on the steps or put their nose in the corner. But every once in a while, I believe it is completely necessary IF you have a child who learns by no other means, which is becoming quite common these days with our spoiled society.
Re: Child Discipline
Hey, guess what. I was no angel child, but I was smart enough that I could learn right from even if my mother didn't spank me. But guess what? She did, probably out of desperation, and it never did more than make me scared of her when she's angry. I still cower when she's pissed off and she hasn't put a hand on me in years.
Re: Child Discipline
the thing with my parents is that they did try to instill the knowledge of why things were right or wrong but i just didn't care because i was an autistic little child and if i couldn't understand the reason why something was right or wrong (even if they explained it, sometimes i still didn't get it) then they realized the only way to teach me was to make me feel negative repercussions for my behavior. they once tried to do this by taking away all my stuffed animals, which led to me throwing all my stuffed animals out of the room because i didn't give a shit. so they had to spank me.
just throwing that out there. i am completely against physical child discipline but figured i'd share
Re: Child Discipline
Now, I might have some old school views on this, but I do believe spanking your children is a positive thing. I was personally smacked as a child, and the big thing that it hammered home was not the difference between right and wrong, but respect. I learned to respect the authority of my parents after a light hit, at least when I'm young, and naturally that lead to me learning a higher degree of morality from actually trying to listen to my parents at times.
Re: Child Discipline
Just because it worked for you, doesn't mean it works for everyone? Whereas if it didn't work for one person, that's usually the point where you should question it.
I sort of listened to my parents because they were nice and usually I could trust them, not because I saw them as an ~authority~ that I had to obey. :|
Re: Child Discipline
I got hit occasionally as a child, and generally was not "disciplined" well. Funnily enough, I never had a very good relationship with my parents.
Not that I really blame them, but ... hitting children doesn't always work.
(aside: interestingly enough the internet was kind of my moral guide (primarily tcod) and look at how I turned out I guess??)
Re: Child Discipline
I was never beaten as a child, and I grew up to be a heartless bastard.
Re: Child Discipline
Okay, I'm getting really tired of all the anecdotes. This is serious business, not tell us your personal story. I know this is a personal subject, but most topics in SB are, and that doesn't mean that anecdotes suddenly become statistics. Please stop it.
Here are some actual facts.
Research your shit or don't debate it, seriously.
Re: Child Discipline
So as it is, statistics don't mean a fucking thing to me. I don't care if my "argument" is anecdotal -- It left a permanent mark that emerges every time I interact with other people. That's all I need to know.
Does that mean everyone is affected the same way? No.
Did it make me a "better kid"? No. It made me worse.
I have to live with this every day so it may as well be fucking fact. Do I care if some other kid who got spanked here and there turned out okay? No I fucking don't.
I think we seriously exaggerate the role parents play in being the definitive role model for children in our society with how much time they spend away from them and with other adults seen as role models, e.g. teachers or even friends'/peers' parents. Being hit by my parents didn't teach me to "respect authority" (what a fucking joke that is). It taught me my parents were fucking assholes.
There's a huge difference between my sister and I and it's really not very damn hard to figure out why.
Hi! I'm currently in the process of moving and my internet access is rather sporadic! Please forgive me, especially those in my #mafia game! Thanks!
Re: Child Discipline
Eh, I think it's more that the 'I turned out fine' sort of anecdote is worthless. That it fucked you up means something; that it didn't fuck up some other people doesn't extrapolate to 'so it's okay for everyone'.

Re: Child Discipline
It depends on the child. If xie is repeatedly bad, yes spanking/time outs are in order. But if xie is more like I was(rather docile and doesn't want to do wrong), than a scolding is enough.
Of course, if xie is like me, then one'd have to tell xir why not to do something, or xie'll do it on purpouse jsut to find out why not.
Re: Child Discipline
please don't make large general statements as though they're common sense without actually backing anything up. it looks a great deal like you don't know what you're talking about.
I was hit as a kid and I'm scared of my mum when she's angry, woo. is that a good thing? I was hit very, very rarely but this still is the case! should I be scared of my mum when she's angry?

Several of the greatest poets in the English tradition from the Renaissance onward have sought to replace God with the human imagination, a quest whose vehicle most of these poets have, unsurprisingly, envisioned as poetry itself.
But George Santayana's definition of poetry as "religion without practical efficacy and without metaphysical illusion" may go some way toward explaining why poetry has decidedly failed to replace religion.
The idea that poetry might usurp the traditional functions of religion was predicated upon the social and cultural authority of poetry as a bearer of value. Every discussion of poetry as it is practiced in the United States today must begin from an acknowledgment that it suffers from an impoverishment of such authority.
Contemporary poetry is a tinny bickering among insomniacs crowded onto the head of a shrinking pin.
Hence the relative neglect of Allen Grossman, probably the last American poet to be regularly described, and not in derision, as a prophet and seer. In 'Not all wanderers are lost' Grossman insists that:
—A man or woman without religion is mad.
His children are mad, and also her children
eat filth and die. RIGHT HERE (sparagmos)
in the waste places among RESISTER WEED.
The philosopher turns his face to the wall
at the moment of death. The philosopher remembers
(himself he does not know) what God remembered
in the beginning. The God, before religion,
wept for himself, alone, among the sanctities.
Then the God forgot himself: "LET THE LIGHT BE."
(The Lord, Our God, teaches us how to do things
with tears.) Then, the great God forgot himself.
It is unusual to hear a poetic speaker summon such authority today. His poems are founded on a paradox: "Better a deceiving god than no god at all." How to know, though, whether a deceiving god is any god at all? This axiom wars with the commandment of his later work: "Do not be content with an imaginary god."
But the god Grossman imagines in his recent book How to Do Things with Tears is named Shazam, the magic word that transforms cub reporter Billy Batson into the god Captain Marvel. It is an old problem: How can a fiction reign supreme if it knows itself to be a fiction – if, that is, what Nietzsche called "active forgetting" is not an option?
This is a way of acknowledging both that Grossman's authority, his possession by the god, risks the harmless crankery of a man carrying a sign reading 'The End Is Nigh,'and that his self-coruscating humour alleviates this risk.
As early as 1981 he was less than sanguine about poetry's future, and about what it is that has been lost: "Poetry is now an art which seems, to me as a practitioner, virtually dead. It is an art which has been driven into a corner, which requires justification; it is an art which has more practitioners than readers; an art the function of which is hard to discern. In ancient times poetry preserved enormous ranges of cultural fact—facts necessary for the survival of the community, kinds of information about the world which are now (and for a long time have been) conserved by other institutions of the civilization."
Perhaps this is the true motive for the repeated and disparate attempts to yoke poetic powers to religious and other social functions. For Grossman, "The poem is not as close as you can get to The Poetic Principle. And that is what we are after…. Even if there were (even if there are, strictly speaking) no poems (there are, strictly speaking, no poems) there is still poetry."
Insofar as "the greater function of poetry … is the keeping of the image of persons as precious in the world," poetry cannot disappear entirely as long as there are such images, even if there are no more poems. If poems no longer adequately respond to what Raymond Williams terms "structure of feeling," many of their functions will remain available in or be subsumed by other forms of art and media.
Poetry itself will continue, if only as "a complex and open-ended collection of cultic practices from which the practitioners derive, or hope to derive, 'existential strength,' that is, a deepened capacity to deal with the manifest, large-scale structural defects of human life." But that is the philosopher Mark Johnston's definition of religion.
If the price poetry must pay to resemble religion is its nearly complete marginalization, it is difficult not to mourn this "inscription upon the ontological snowfields of a world that is not in itself human," as Grossman has it, especially when the cold of those snowfields, like God, like metaphysical illusion, is not going away any time soon.
Imagination will find forms adequate to it. But we should read Allen Grossman while we can, whose work we grant the honorific poetry: the last practitioner of an art "About the impotence of God … / Who has no power not to create everything."

Sanaa :
A better world through creativity
A celebration of art, creativity, life and humanity
As a not-for-profit organisation, Sanaa Ink through Sanaa: A better world through creativity, promote the power of art and creativity in bridging gaps, challenging perceptions and increasing intercultural understanding. Through music, visual art, street art, performance, workshops and story telling, we explore a diverse world of cultures.
Founded by documentary film-maker Victoria Lewis, who travelled to East Africa in 2015 to film Slum Ballet - a short film exploring the positive power of art in the community. It was during the course of this and subsequent trips to East and West Africa, where she met the artists who she works with today through the Sanaa platform.
Sanaa Ink showcases the work of artists from parts of the world with an incredible raw talent. We also promote the artistic and creative talent of South Australia's diverse multicultural communities, for having a lively arts and cultural scene, creates a great city to live. We seek to provide a platform for those where this opportunity may lack.
We believe art and culture represent one of the areas in our society where people can come together to share an experience, even if we see the world in a radically different way. A French artist once said, 'art is not supposed to change the world, but it can change perceptions'. It encourages us to cherish intuition, uncertainty, creativity and to constantly search for new ideas.
Following the success of the inaugural 2017 festival - awarded Most Outstanding event for Adelaide Fringe, the Sanaa Festival platform was again delivered in 2018, with planning for the 2019 festival underway. The 2019 festival will kick off in February, with Sanaa Exhibition, Sanaa Festival, an artist talk, workshops and street art collaborations - within the program. Five African artists will arrive into Adelaide mid-February to work collaboratively with South Australian artists and the community.
Sanaa : A better world through creativity has reached in excess of 12,000 people since it began, less than two years ago. We look forward to bringing you the third edition in 2019. Check out the videos of our 2017 and 2018 festivals below.

Not Poetic At All
I've been having a bit of a sad this weekend. I don't want to go on and on whining and wallowing, since that is a teenager's Livejournal is for, and I am neither a teenager nor a Livejournaler. I'll just sum it up by saying I found out that my feelings for someone are unrequited, or at least unevenly-requited. Yeah, I'll go with unevenly-requited, to be specific. Anyway, it still hurts.
I've been distracting myself by working out and studying. Working out, because I do that anyway and an extra burst of physical exertion works well to remind me that even when my mind is all tangled up my body is still sound. Getting my heartrate up and pushing my muscles just a bit more distracts me from moping and makes everything seem clear and more in perspective when I come back to thinking.
Studying is also a usual part of my life. This semester I'm in an Anatomy course that's intensive enough to demand quite a bit of time. At the moment, it's also a handy looking-at-things-in-perspective tool since we're into the circulatory system. I've always found the heart interesting (I'm not sure if other people have favorite organs. Are there a bunch of kidney fans out there? Or people who are totally into livers?); it's aesthetically a beautiful organ, put together like a little muscular machine. That's why I like it and why I like the feeling that I can take one apart and know how it works and be absolutely sure it has nothing to do with love.
No matter how bad I feel, it's all just that damn brain's fault – and they're always causing trouble, right? Always doing some sneaky thing behind your back and then refusing to behave the way you'd like. Not like the heart. Good old heart, keeping you alive, just pumping away. It's all like, "You sad? Well that's cool, I'll just be over here handling your blood supply. No worries." Sure, they can break, but not because someone doesn't like you.
Maybe all that hurt was over a big misunderstanding. Things seem to be better with the person involved (again, I'm not feeling like going into details in this particular post), but dealing with the opposite extremes with one person – one that has such an emotional impact on me – has left me a little shaky. I've gone and vented to a couple of people, which helps, and I have lots of other things to work on as I always do. Just wanted to update this, since this issue might be coming up again in the future.

Finished a painting I sort of messed up but…it works. The joys of art. Anddd…lastly I bleached my hair yesteday. Once more should do it, to get it to where I want it to be at.

Imagine a whole new type of password — one that lets you dispense with all those numbers, letters and symbols, but is still impenetrable to hackers.
Researchers at Britain's University of York and the University of Glasgow have tested a new password system that could one day allow users to access their bank accounts, phones or favorite websites simply by picking out a familiar face from a grid of nine faces, four times in succession.
They call the system Facelock, and according to a study published recently in the journal Peer J, it offers plenty of benefits. Most impressively, users were able to log into a test system using Facelock after not using it for an entire year. Imagine remembering traditional, letter/numeric passwords for that long without using them!
Facelock is not the first password system to experiment with graphic elements. A system called Passfaces requires a user to pick out a photo of someone they know from a grid of faces. But Facelock has an important difference: Its images are always changing — including the image of the familiar face.
The research team says that people do not recognize all faces with equal ease. We have no trouble identifying a familiar face across a series of different images that range from good to poor in quality. On the other hand, when a face is not familiar to us, we are likely to think that different images of the same person are actually images of different people.
This well-studied psychological phenomenon can be frustrating to police when they ask a witness to identify a person caught in a fuzzy security camera tape. But in the case of Facelock, the researchers were able to exploit it for the benefit of frustrated password users. They suggest that a nefarious "shoulder surfer" spying over a user's shoulder when that user selected a familiar face would have trouble picking out the same person shown in a different image.
The researchers also looked at how vulnerable the Facelock system is to attack by strangers, as well as people who are close to the user, such as a spouse or other family member and "shoulder surfers."
Facelock was found to be essentially impermeable to people who don't know the user. Even people who were very close to the userwere able to get through all four grids successfully only 6.6 percent of the time.
"Taken together the success rates of account holders (97.5 percent), random zero-acquaintance attackers (less than 1 percent), and (chosen) high-acquaintance attackers (6.6 percent) strike us as a promising starting point," the researchers say in the paper.
Though it may sound good, you shouldn't expect to see Facelock coming on the market anytime soon. The researchers say the aim of their work was not to create a new password system, but rather to "raise awareness of the important psychological contrast between familiar and unfamiliar face processing, and to explore the potential for exploiting this contrast in the context of authentication."
Still, those of us who loathe the direction pass codes are going — more numbers, more symbols, longer — can dream of a day when all it requires to check your banking statement is to pick out images of your favorite Z-list celebrity four times.

Valentines Day has only just passed, but it is time to switch gears to the next holiday! I have been so excited going over potential breakfast/dinner/treat recipes for St. Patty's Day. There are about a zillion ideas in my head, and I've had a hard time narrowing the list down to only a few choices.
First off, I'd like to share with you a yummy copycat dessert from Wingers. I remember many nights in high school heading over to the restaurant to share a slice of this yummy stuff with a friend. It would be perfect to grace your table on St. Patty's Day, and is super simple to put together :)
Asphalt Pie
2 1/4 cups crushed Oreo cookies
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 gallon mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
hot fudge
caramel sauce
Ready Whip whipped cream
Combine 2 cups of Oreos and the melted butter. Press down onto a 9 inch pie pan. Then add about 1/4 cup of hot fudge. Scoop ice cream onto the crust until pie is completely covered. Put in freezer for about 3-4 hours. Before serving top with reserved Oreos, caramel sauce and whip cream!
Recipe Source: Our Family Treat
Next off, a simple cookie that has some cute green swirls all through it. These cookies only take 4 ingredients....always a plus in my book. Your kids will love you if they have these waiting for them when they get home from school one day! They are delicious gooey out of the oven, or even the next day for breakfast (don't tell anyone ;)
Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies
1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 package of Andes Mints
Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs together. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes. Don't cook any longer than that! You don't want them to be overdone!
Take sheet out of oven and while the cookies are still very hot, place an Andes Mint on top of each cookie. In about 5 minutes, the mint will be melted. Take a spoon and smooth out each mint like frosting.
Recipe Source: Six SIsters Stuff
I'd love to hear your traditional GREEN eats!

Electrical engineering company Phoenix Contact is set to participate with new launches at the upcoming 41st edition of Middle East Electricity (MEE) at Dubai World Trade Centre from 1-3 March 2016
An estimated US$416bn is required to meet the growing requirements of power consumption in the MENA region during the 2016-20 period, according to a study conducted by Saudi Arabia-based Arab Petroleum Investment Corporation (Apicorp). Further, the total required capacity by 2020 for the MENA region, according to MEED Insights' MENA Power Project Markets 2015, is 420,335MW. Presently, the installed capacity clocks in at 276,117MW for the region.
Phoenix Contact said that it will be displaying a wide range of first-class products and new innovations in the field of electrical connection technology, electronic interface, automation systems as well as solutions for the energy, infrastructure, and process industries at the event.
"We hope to network and make inroads through our participation at MEE 2016," said Dania Liswi, marketing communications manager, Phoenix Contact Middle East.
Among the new products that Phoenix Contact will display are the safe energy control (SEC) technology and the DC UPS solution. The SEC provides durable and powerful lightning and surge protection and at its core is the revolutionary spark gap which safely prevents any line follow current. The SEC innovation protects systems, including fuses and arresters and, therefore, making a separate arrester backup fuse redundant in all common applications.
The DC UPS solution ensures maximum usability of plants and systems. It also features various storage media that offer a wide range of different properties including long service life or long buffer time, use at extreme ambient temperatures, and no maintenance.
The estimated 34 per cent increase in demand for power consumption by 2020 provides opportunities for suppliers in the power sector, who will be able to gather more information and insight of these opportunities at the MEE 2016.
The 2015 edition of MEE attracted over 1,400 exhibitors from over 60 countries, and over 20,000 visitors from over 120 countries.

Series: Oyster Harbor #4
Add to Goodreads
I don't know how much work goes into writing a historical romance. I will say that the best historical romances are the ones that don't bend history. These stories don't whitewash or put a shade over the ugliness of the history of the United States. Afton Locke's Oyster Harbor series is currently one of the very rare few Historical Romance series I enjoy reading. While Cali's Hurricane is the fourth entry in the series I hope it's not the last.
Readers, if you are like me and you have read all the books in Oyster Harbor series which includes: Plucking the Pearl, Rose, Exposed and Sadie's Surrender then you should leave a brief review on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Kobo for how freaking great those books are and how Ms. Locke should continue the series.
For those newbies who have never tried Ms. Locke and want to test her out with Cali's Hurricane this what you should expect:
- In this book there are four main characters. Jimmy (who was previously a background character in Plucking) and Mary (who was attacked in Rose and the mayor of Oyster Harbor's daughter) get equal time as the Mysterious Cali and Jon the mayor of Oyster Harbor's son.
- Historical Accuracy. This is a huge because Ms. Locke introduced the Klan in Pearl. In each book of the series each of her male leads had to fight this organizations ideology in order to find their own happy ending.
- If you are a huge fan girl like me then you will love the appearances made by Pearl, Opal and Caleb ,Leroy and Rose, Sadie and Henry and of course Ms. Johnson .
I ll be honest with y'all . I found nothing wrong with this book. Yes there were moments where I wanted to scream at Jon , moments that shocked me and moments that I had to find a tissue because it hurt me emotionally. I can tell y'all that this series is a treasure. Don't let the cover fool you ,Cali's Hurricane is great for a day when you have off and you need to treat yourself.

I was re-reading Feyman's "The Character of Physics Law" when I stumbled upon some interesting sentences. (Chapter 3, Pg 82 starting just above Figure 22.)
"In this way the conservation of angular momentum implies the conservation of momentum. This in turn implies something else, the conservation of another item which is so closely connected that I did not put it in the table. This is a principle about the centre of gravity...The point is that of all the stuff in the world, the centre of mass, the average of all the mass, is still right where it was before."
If you take a large collection of particles, the forces of interaction between the particles is not capable of changing the center of mass. The position of the center of mass only changes if the center of mass was already moving with a certain velocity, V. This velocity, V, is unaffected by the forces of repulsion and attraction between the particles. If this velocity, V, were zero to start, then it would always stay that way, unless acted upon by particles that weren't included in the original set when calculating the center of mass. But what if we take the collection of particles to be all of the particles in the universe?
In my understanding of our universe (which is different than most astrophysicists and physicists), the universe is a wrinkled, expanding surface of a 4D sphere,where the radius of the sphere is the time dimension. The center of mass of such a surface is the center of the sphere. The center of the 4D sphere is the location in space-time of the Big Bang (r=t=0.) So, while the surface my be wrinkled (due to local variations in the density of matter), the variations have to cancel exactly on average, so that the center of the mass of the universe is still exactly the the center of the 4D sphere. If there were any fluctuations (i.e. fluctuations such that there is an increase in mass/energy that is not exactly balanced on the opposite side of the sphere), then the location of the center of mass would be offset from the center of the sphere.
One can hopefully see that this has major implication for quantum gravity as well as R-type quantum theories that require a collapse of the wavefunction. The introduction of uncertainty into the location of massive objects might cause us to have to drop an important conservation law (i.e. the conservation of the momentum...which leads to the conservation of the center of mass in specific circumstances.) For example, if the mass inside of a blackhole were to randomly fluctuate, then this could cause the center of mass of the blackhole to change, and then would in turn cause the center of mass of the universe to go off center.
There are clearly some problem reconciling quantum mechanics with certain conservation laws, such as the conservation of momentum, because if the location of an electron in an atom were truly random (i.e. stochastic) before we measure it, then this could cause the center of mass of the universe to be ever so slightly off center (unless there were an completely symmetry fluctuation on the opposite side of the universe that kept the center of the mass constant. Of course, such a symmetric fluctuation would imply that electrons on opposite sides of the universe can communicate with each other at speeds much greater than the speed of light.) This is one of the many reasons why I'm skeptical of introducing stochastic (i.e. probabilistic) processes into the laws of physics. In order to introduce stochastic processes into nature, you run into potential problems of either (a) communication at infinite speed in order for the fluctuations to cancel out, or (b) throw out the conservation of momentum...i.e. allow of the center of mass of the universe to move stochastically around the origin as particles randomly appear here and disappear there. (Note U-type Quantum mechanics is deterministic, it's only R-type Quantum mechanics that is stochastic. For more discussion of U vs. R QM, see Chapter 22 of Penrose's The Road to Reality.)
Another interesting question is: what is the total angular momentum of the universe? Is there an axis about which the 4D sphere is rotating?
I think that this question is similar in nature to following questions: what is the total electrical charge of the universe? what is the total weak charge and total color charge of the universe? It is entirely possible that the answer to all of these questions is zero.
In the remainder of this post, I'll be summarizing the concepts discussed in \Figure 14 in Chapter 3 of Feyman's "The Character of Physical Law." The ideas that Feynman discuss here can be found on any website (such as wiki) that covers Emmy Noether's Theorem that Conservation Laws imply continuous symmetries of differential equations (and vice versa.)
Energy/Mass is conserved locally and is the source of a field (gravity). The underlying cause of this conservation law is the symmetry of all the laws of physics to time translation. The total energy of the universe is (likely) a positive value, and the energy of individual system can only be positive (i.e. there are likely no negative mass particles that cause gravitational repulsion.) Adding mass is like counting positive real numbers (or perhaps adding positive integers if space-time is discrete.)
Electric Charge is quantizied, is conserved locally and is the source of a field (E&M field). The underlying cause of this conservation law is the symmetry of changing the phase of the QM gauge locally at every place in space-time. The total charge of the universe is likely zero (although it's important to note that I have no way of proving that it is exactly zero, if the universe is finite, then the net charge is likely zero so that electric field lines begin and end on charged particles.) Electrical charge (unlike mass) can be positive or negative. Since charge can be positive or negative, checking this conservation laws is like addition over the field of integers.
Angular Momentum is quantizied, is conserved locally, and is not known to be a source of a field. The underlying cause of this conservation law is the symmetry of all the laws of physics to angular rotations. In other words, no known law of physics depends upon knowing the absolute rotational angle of the universe. We don't need to know our longitude, latitude, etc... on the surface of the 4D sphere in order to do calculations. In any equation where angles appear, the variable theta, omega, etc. show up at derivatives with respect to the angle. Angular momentum can be positive or negative, and the axis of rotation is a three dimensional vector. This is already much more complicated than the cases above. One question is: is the angular momentum of the universe equal to (0,0,0)?
And on a side point, while I mentioned that angular momentum is not known to be a source of field, there is an indirect "force" that is associated with spin. For example, Fermions can exert a 'force' that keep them from occupying the same quantum state, and hence from gravitationally collapsing on each other. However, this is not a field because the force doesn't increase as you increase the spin of the particle.
Color Charge is quantized, is conserved locally, and is the source of a field (the strong nuclear force). The underlying cause of this conservation law is an SU(3) gauge invariance. What I want to point out here is that this conservation law is more complicated than the conservation of mass or conservation of electric charge. In this case, you can arrive at zero net color charge buy at least two different way. First, like electric charge, the value of color charge can be positive or negative. So, you could combine a red quark with an anti-red quark, and then would be no net color charge (similar to combining a proton and an electron to form a neutral Hydrogen atom.) Second, unlike electric charge, there are three components to color charge (just as there are three components to angular momentum.) The three components, however, are not completely independent of each other. It's not like having 3 new forces of nature. For example, imagine that the three charges are like rotations of a 3D sphere. You can rotation a sphere 90 degrees in one direction, then rotate by 90 degrees in a supposedly perpendicular direction, and then rotate 90 degrees in a third supposedly perpendicular direction. If you do so, you can end up right back where you started from. This means that you can combine a red quark, a green quark, and a blue quark, and you can obtain a net zero color charge. This means that the 3 color charges are not completely independent of each other.
Weak Charge is quantized, is conserved locally and is the source of a field (the weak nuclear force). The underlying cause of this conservation law is an SU(2) gauge invariance. In E&M, there's one type of charge, and it can be positive, zero, or negative. In the Weak Nuclear force, there's two types of charge, and as we saw above, in the Strong Nuclear force, there are three types of charge (red charge, green charge, and blue charge...however, they are not completely independent because quarks appear to have only type of charge at any given time.) In the Weak nuclear force, there is a quantity called weak isospin. It is similar (though not exactly similar) to the concept of electrical charge. Left-handed fundamental particles have weak isospin values of +/- 0.5, whereas right-handed fundamental particles have weak isospin values of 0. The W bosons (i.e. force carriers) carry weak isospin of 1. This is unlike Electromagnetism, where the photon does not itself carry any electrical charge. The weak nuclear force is weird indeed. Also. none of the other forces of nature care about the spin of the particle. For example, a right-handed electron still interacts via gravity and the electromagnetic force, and a right-handed quark still interacts via gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong nuclear force.
There's still a lot we don't know about the weak nuclear force. Luckily, there are experimental physicists and astrophysicists devoting their careers to answering some important questions about the weak nuclear force.
I'll end this post on a completely unrelated note my showing a picture of some fo the strongest evidence yet for dark matter (and against Modifications of Newtonian Dynamics at large distances. i.e. MOND.) This is likely be the topic of a post in the near future.

Has THE current education system become impossible for you to defend and support?
What's a micro-school? A micro-school is simply a small, independent school designed for children who need a flexible, and personalized learning environment.
If you're anything like most of the educators I work with, you've been banging your head against a wall for years. Your students are frustrated and disengaged because of your school's pacing, curriculum, or scheduling demands. They're aggravated by rigid rules and expectations that defy well-documented research. Or maybe your students have given up on learning altogether because they know they're forced to play a game they can't win.
You're all so over it...
You know that schools are forced to rely on standardized testing to value achievement over the happiness and health of their students, you try to meet your students' actual needs in your classroom. However, no matter how altruistic your intentions, most conventional schools are working with a fixed mindset, and it's simply not working for your students.
It's true that traditional education has largely become a mad world, but you, as an educator, have the power to make things better. This is what drew you to education in the first place — isn't it?
You're ready to create an educational environment that is thoughtful, creative, and inclusive.
You know in your heart and mind that there's a better way, but you aren't sure where to start.
Maybe you read my book, Micro-Schools: Creating Personalized Learning on a Budget, but you want more help bridging the divide between a fixed mindset and operations of a traditional school, and this new frontier of education. Where do you get started?
I want you to feel empowered to take the future of your community's education into your own hands.
Welcome to the Build Your Micro-School Institute
The Build Your Micro-School Institute is a 3-month online course packed with guidance and information on creating your own innovative learning environment
🔸 Each week I'll host live calls and open office hours during which I'll take you through the process of creating a micro-school and simplify it.
🔸Together we'll create an action guide that takes you through every step of building a micro-school.
🔸Additionally, you'll have lifetime, 24/7 access to a community of peers who share your dream.
By the end of our time together, you will have a thoughtfully planned micro-school able to transform the educational experience of your community. I know this because I've poured my heart and soul as well as ten years of experience designing innovative learning environments into creating a special 3-month institute designed to walk you through each step of building your own micro-school. From getting clear on your vision to choosing a daily schedule, I'll be with you every step of the way.
You may be thinking, "I don't have time to create a micro-school!"
I'll show you the actual time commitment- it might be much less than you expected.
Or, "This is way too much work!"
I'll help you learn how to develop a system to delegate responsibilities and manage a team of people so you can focus on bringing your vision to life.
Are you concerned about choosing curriculum and educational technology that steps outside the traditional box you've been trained to work in?
I'll show you how to curate resources in a way that works for your budget and supports non-standardized education.
"Children cannot be standardized and neither can their education."

hi, i'm jade Rivera, your advocate and guide as you build your own micro-school
For nearly ten years I've made personalized learning my mission. I draw on my compassion as well as my personal and professional experience to help children understand who they are and how they learn. Then I translate that to the parents and professionals that care for them.
My training in Nonviolent Communication and my Montessori credential inspire my educational philosophies and practices. I graduated with a degree in Chemistry in 2002 from The Evergreen State College. Shortly after, I was awarded the renowned Fulbright Scholarship for study in Thailand. After a brief, successful yet unfulfilling career as a chemist, I made a switch to alternative education. I now consult with parents and educators through one-on-one coaching, speaking, and workshops on the characteristics of neurodivergent children and how to develop strategies that best serve their education and social-emotional development.
For several years, I led a micro-school in Oakland, CA, where I provided a unique and engaging learning environment that quirky children adored. Currently, I am a
GHF Ambassador
, and my book,
Micro-Schools: Creating Personalized Learning on a Budget
shares my heart as well as the philosophies and practices I developed while building my own programs.
If you're ready to take education into your own hands and build something that will change your community for the better, then you're going to love the Build Your Micro-School Institute.
What is a micro-school?
Micro-schooling refers to a school where students meet fewer than five days per week, where class size is typically smaller than most schools (15 students or less in a classroom), and where classes are taught in a nontraditional manner compared to most educational models.
Typically, families who go to micro-schools are registered as homeschooling families, and the micro-school helps establish a core set of learning experiences that parents and educators can then expand upon and personalize for their children. It is often far more affordable than private school.
Classes tend to be more impactful due to meeting fewer times in the week, and these classes are typically hands-on and activity based. This approach is viewed as a replacement for the 5-day school week paradigm that is standard world-wide.
I'm an educator (not a parent) looking to make a change. Can I still join?
Absolutely, I encourage all educators to join us for a variety of reasons. For one, I think the educator perspective is critical and would be appreciated by our other members. Also, the more educators that are a part of this movement towards innovative education and personalized learning, the better off our children and our world.
What if I can't make the live workshops/calls?
If at all possible, attempt to clear your schedule for our live calls as this is your chance to work alongside Jade & other institute participants and ask your questions. If you can't make a call, the recording will be available to you on our members page so you can watch or listen at any time. Are you from Australia or Asia and our call times are middle of the night? Email us at email@example.com, and if there's interest then we may open a second workshop with later call times.
What happens when the institute is over?
Good question! You'll have ongoing access to the live workshop videos and PDFs as well as our membership Facebook group. When we re-run the course you'll have an open invite to join us, absolutely free.
I've already begun homeschooling my child; do I need this?
Micro-schooling is a perfect next step once you've decided to homeschool. It provides community and peers for your child and provides some structure for their learning environment. Moreover, you can collaborate with other parents to split some of the responsibilities of homeschooling. It's a win for everyone!
Is there private time with Jade during the live workshops?
The nine modules and three Q&A sessions will be with the entire group, but there will be individual attention paid to each member that shows up and participates.
Will I be able to ask questions live?
Yes! We'll have easy ways for you to ask your questions during the workshops and team members standing by to help during the live calls. One of the reasons we limit enrollment to 10 members is so each person attending can get support during the workshop.
What other expenses will there be?
Given the huge variety of micro-schools and the diversity in resources the participants will have, it's impossible to estimate the additional expenses. The biggest expense will likely be the space that you rent and the staff that you hire. We will go over all this in detail during the workshops!
How much time will it take?
Our workshops will be 90 minutes each so we have plenty of time to teach the content and answer your questions. How much time it takes to create your micro-school will depend on how much you are able to accomplish between modules.
What if I get stuck?
We'll be available throughout the three months in the Facebook group and on the calls to help you get unstuck, all you need to do is ask! We also encourage members to encourage each other and share ideas as you build out your micro-school – it's so much easier than working alone!
Jade's passion came through. She is very articulate and seemed excited to meet with us each week. Everything about the Build Your Micro-School Institute was enjoyable and valuable; the syllabus, handouts, Facebook group and quick responses in particular.

"He was a great traveller," the journalist George Augustus Sala noted in an obituary of Dickens. "Where he had travelled longest, where he had looked deepest and learned most, was in inner London."
Dickens was not, therefore, a traveller either in antique lands or in the realms of fashion. He was a purposeful walker not a lounger. His walks always informed his novels. Indeed, it might be said that they actually shaped his novels. Virtually all of his major fiction is set in London and it is the various, complex, disconcertingly multifaceted, and densely populated nature of a great 19th century city that determined the structure of that fiction.
Dickens does not describe many of the 'sights' of London that survive more or less unchanged today: the Tower, Saint Paul's, the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Abbey. Rather his London is what Sala describes as the "back streets ... the courts and alleys ... the shabby sidling streets" and "the dank and oozy wharfs of the water-side". These have all too often vanished thanks to slum-clearance, speculative redevelopment or wartime destruction. Dickens would readily recognise the street-plan of London, but he would be dumbfounded by the reconstruction of so many of the houses, the shops and the commercial properties that characterised the areas he knew best.
The one area of central London that remains substantially intact, and which Dickens commonly describes in his novels, is what we sometimes call 'Legal London'. Dickens did not have much love for the actual workings of the English Law or for befuddling English Lawyers, but the Inns of Court which figure so frequently in the fiction (and especially in Bleak House and in Our Mutual Friend) remain much as he would have known them.
Gray's Inn (where he worked as boy and where Tommy Traddles has his chambers in David Copperfield) suffered grievously in the Blitz, but a walk through Lincoln's Inn Fields and through Lincoln's Inn itself is replete with Dickensian memories. Go from there down Bell Yard and across the Strand into Middle Temple and you remain in a quintessential part of Dickens's London.
If you have the proper Dickensian energy, walk back northwards along Chancery Lane, digressing into Cursitor Street and, finding your way back through Gray's Inn and Raymond Buildings, which overlook the garden, you will find yourself at the bottom of Doughty Street. Dickens lived at number 48 in the late 1830s. The house is now the Charles Dickens Museum and welcomes you in for further exploration.
Andrew Sanders is Emeritus Professor of English, Durham University, and author of Charles Dickens's London (Robert Hale, 2011).
Restless Shadow: Dickens the Campaigner reveals how important walking was to Dickens's method. He walked every day, and sometimes at night, at a pace and over distances that would leave most of us breathless and exhausted. They brought him face-to-face and into 'sympathetic relations' with his subjects. Vitally, his walks helped him develop novel kinds of investigative writing that moved through all 'nooks and corners', exposing what life was like for the most desperate to an unaware public. Dickens's walking stick, then, was perhaps almost as important for his writing as his pen.
The exhibition runs until 29 October 2017 at the Charles Dickens Museum, 48 Doughty Street, Bloomsbury, WC1N 2LX.

Western Price Survey / Archives
April 28, 2000
Somebody turned the heat up under Western energy markets this week, as a burst of hot weather in Arizona drove utility demand and power prices higher than expected in the desert and in Southern California. Part of the problem was that several major power plants, including Palo Verde No. 3, were still on spring break when the weather changed. Contributing to the market panic was a slow return to service by the San Juan No. 1 unit, which was supposed to end a maintenance outage on Sunday but could only muster half power by midweek.
Still the market response was way beyond what would be expected, particularly since overall demand-though higher than forecast-was nowhere near record levels.
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons marked the high points in pricing, with things calming down on Thursday, partly because the end of the month had people already trading in advance of the weekend. Where Palo Verde prescheduled trades exceeded 75 mills/KWh midweek, they were dropping fast to the 38 mills to 55 mills/KWh range for Saturday deliveries and 26 mills/KWh for all of Sunday.
While the unconstrained clearing prices for the California Power Exchange topped out at 40 mills/KWh for Thursday and dropped below 32 mills/KWh for Friday, day-of markets and congestion prices were at a much higher level.
For instance, the day-ahead zonal prices on Thursday averaged between 95 mills and 99.4 mills/KWh for peak periods for Southern California areas South of Path 15 and Southwestern transmission corridors from Palo Verde/AZ3 and Mead/LC1. For a few hours, the zonal prices at SP15 and AZ3 ranged between 249 mills and 368 mills/KWh.
CalPX day-of and hour-ahead bids reached 190 mills/KWh and the Exchange needed to schedule as much as 1,280 MW of added capacity beyond prescheduled loads. Over on the Cal-ISO reliability markets, several ancillary services and imbalance energy prices topped out at the $750/MW ceiling price.
All of this frenzied activity helped drive prices up everywhere else, even in the isolated Northwest. Where prices had been moving lower on increased hydroelectricity production and spring runoff, the prices reversed course and moved much higher. Off-peak energy prices had fallen into single digits at the start of the week, but more than doubled midweek. The overall result was an extremely wide range of reported prices at all hubs that schedulers and traders hoped was just a temporary aberration.
Looking ahead, while San Juan operators would not commit to a full power schedule, the problem related to testing new controller equipment, so traders anticipated the plant would be back to 100 percent in the near term. Palo Verde was already reported to be exiting its refueling outage, so it might be available as soon as next week. Additionally, the very hot temperatures were expected to moderate rather than spread, leaving utilities optimistic that this was a temporary phenomenon.
Still, some expressed concern that the price spikes triggered by a transient heat storm could be a harbinger of a troublesome summer marketplace. "Loads seem to be a lot higher this year at the same temperatures. If that holds for summer, we could be in trouble" [Arthur O'Donnell].
Gas Sympathizes with NYMEX
Although southern basin and border costs held to higher levels based on extreme power markets and end-of-month balancing transactions, natural gas prices finally gave in somewhat toward the end of the week, reluctantly following the national NYMEX benchmark lower.
The Southern California Border price had been up to $3.08/MMBtu earlier but eroded to the $3.05 to $3.06/MMBtu level on Thursday. Permian fell to $2.79/MMBtu from the mid-$2.80s and San Juan slipped to $2.74/MMBtu.
"The Arizona heat kicked power markets up" and kept the gas price higher than it might otherwise be, one trader suggested. More important, though, was that monthly accounts needed to be settled and the last two days of the month were non-trading weekend dates. " If everyone tends to be on the short side, they'll be buying to get into balance before the weekend."
Northern markets were "languishing compared to their earlier heights," said a California utility buyer. Malin dropped to $2.91 from the $2.99/MMBtu peak reached earlier and PG&E CityGate prices dropped to $3.11 from about $3.17/MMBtu.
The Alberta index was up and down late in the week, first weakening to $(C)3.75/Gigajoule from an earlier high of $3.87/Gj, then finding late strength to rise again to $3.81/Gj before settling at $3.77/Gj [A. O'D.].

An Attack in the Dark Web
In a web of information known as the Internet, diverse content is accessible to large populations of people through web servers. On February 3, a network of websites identified as the Dark Web on a hosting provider named Freedom Hosting II was hit by a cyberattack that left a large part of the network offline. The Dark Web is commonly used by black hat hackers and those who choose to keep their identity anonymous to distribute illegal and illegally obtained information and post on forums.
The Dark Web uses software technology that prevents access to the location of the servers and sites detection. This can create legal and policy issues in data flow and network systems; however, in it is believed that the information collected through this hack may be traceable back to the users of the forums on The Dark Web.
Anonymous has ties to this attack, which claims to have taken down one-fifth of the Dark Web. A previous hack conducted in 2013 by law enforcement led to prosecutions dealing with illegal activities.

This concludes my final week of vacation and I'm sad that the fun is all coming to a close. I spent the day mostly doing readings for Strategy, Globalization, and IT, so I guess the fun really ended already anyway. Honestly, though, there is a lot to look forward to once school returns, even though the next two weeks will be focused on final assignments and exams.
Today, while reading my CSR feed, I noticed that there was an article about the MBA and sustainability. Apparently, there is an MBA Sustainability Leadership Bootcamp in February. Unfortunately, since we will have class then, HEC Montreal students won't be able to participate, but it seems like a great opportunity for other MBA students and graduates.
Right now, about 20 of my fellow classmates are competing at the MBA Games in Edmonton. Good luck team!

Well folks, after two posts and hundreds of entries, the Random Number Generator God swooped down and selected one John McArthur from Carrollton, Georgia as the winner of our giveaway. It was a fun machine to review and we were happy to be able to give one away, though as always, we feel a little bad that for every winner there are hundreds more people disappointed. Fortunately, we're pushing to bring you more and more of these, so just… keep reading!
Incidentally, John… how do you like it? Let us know in the comments!

Here's how it works:
To obtain your CNA license you will need to complete the following four general tasks. Please keep in mind that these may vary depending on which state you reside in. For example, some states may require you to obtain a CPR certification prior to getting licensed as a CNA. Other states, such as Florida, do not require you to have a CPR prior to licensure. To check what your state requirements are we recommend contacting the agency responsible for CNA licensing. Within the final section of our CNA online course you will find State specific requirements along with it's agency's contact information.
Task One, study study study!
This is most critical step in obtaining your CNA license. Without proper education on what a CNA is, what they do, and how they do it you will never be able to become one. Fortunately for you, we offer all the information needed to properly educate yourself on all aspects CNA related.
Take your time and learn all the CNA material that we provide you. Whether its reading, practice tests, or videos, dedicate as much time as you can to studying and really commit to the material. Go over it twice, three times, or even a thousand times, just know it! A thorough understanding of all the nursing material within this course will save you time and money by enabling you to pass your CNA certification test the first time. Blowing through our course in hopes to get your license quick will only leave you in disappointment and could cost you lots of time and money.
Task Two, Obtaining a CPR certification:
As mentioned previously, this step may not be necessary to get your license. However, it is very important in becoming a CNA because all employers require CPR certification. This being said, obtaining a CPR certification is extremely easily and you probably already have one. In the case that you do not have yours, most hospitals and community centers (i.e. the YMCA) offer CPR courses. It is also possible to get CPR certified online, however, beware that there is a possibility it may not get recognized by your future employer(s).
Task Three, apply for your background check, fingerprinting, and testing.
Once you have studied your brain loose and completed any additional requirements, such as CPR certification, you will now be ready to apply for your background check, fingerprinting, and testing. This task will be covered in further detail towards the end of the course.
Task four, test day:
As long as you have met all of your state's requirements and your application has been accepted you will be issued a testing date. On your test day you will show up to a testing center to take your exam. The exam will be a combination of a written component along with a clinical component (you acting out the skills your about to learn in our course). If you successfully pass you will be issued a CNA license and allowed to work as a CNA.
Please continue your course by selecting the next button.
Think you're ready?
Enter your zip code in the form below and we'll match you with the best CNA schools near you and online. It's fast and free!

June 11 12 In Byron Bay Today
At It Again, In Byron Bay Today. So, Huey is at it again, as the rain poured down, the swell poured in while another ECL started to spin, In Byron Bay today. That's right folks the new east swell arrived today. The morning session was kind of nice, but as the swell continued to build throughout the day things were getting gnarly by last light. That's the nature of this storm, it is smaller by definition. But the beastie is right on our doorstep at the moment. It's been pissing down rain and pushing in solid twisty waves all day. That means it's time for the inexperienced to take a back seat keep dry and stay well out of the way, In Byron Bay Today.

A Hastily Scribbled Note...
...to say I'll be gone for the next little bit.
In a few hours, I am going on a road trip, getting in touch with my inner galah and going south for the winter. For those outside Australia, we have a bird called a Galah which in some cases fly south for the winter. Winter in the Northern parts of Australia are fairly warm, so flying south is generally a silly thing to do unless you enjoy the cold. As such, galah gets used as slang for someone being silly.
My best friend and I are packing up the car, temporarily renaming it the Galah, and heading south over Easter holidays. It'll be nice- for once I'll see leaves that have changed colour, and I'll finally have a use for the scarves I buy every winter but never get a chance to wear. And if I don't get frostbite or (more realistically) a cold, I'll be back at start of term with an external hard drive full of pictures (the zoo where we're going has snow leopards. Seriously, snow leopards! Life if good) and a computer heavy with stories to share. Hopefully, I'll find some time to visit a cafe with Wifi, but if not, I'll see you all soon.
If you celebrate it, have a fantastic Easter. I hope the Bunny leaves lots of goodies for you and your loved ones. And (especially if you're enjoying/surviving school holidays) I hope the season goes smoothly and is full of love, laughter and joy.
Night all, and happy travels.

Allerton Bywater lost by three wickets at Division Two rivals Rossington Main in one of the few matches played on the opening day of the season in the Pontefract and District Cricket League.
Most of Saturday's programme was ruined by rain but Rossington beat the weather to collect maximum points.
Opener Gareth Portman (38) gave Allerton a solid start before Scott Wood (5-32) and Michael Richardson (2-7) sent them reeling from 71-1 to 112 all out.
Richardson (42) and Sam Roby (20) put on 47 for the first wicket as Rossington knocked off the runs, despite excellent bowling from Allerton's Usman Bashir (2-18), Jacob Wright (2-34) and Mohammed Tokir (2-20).
In Division Four, Pollington narrowly won a low scoring game at Fenwick.
Fenwick looked handily placed when Jeff Morton (3-8), Josh White (3-9), Brad Hunter (2-6) and Ben Randall (2-15) sent Pollington collapsing to 71 all out.
Opener Simonn Smales (27) and Yasin Seedat (14) were the only Pollington batsmen who reached double figures.
Pollington were rescued by Moosa Patel (4-22), Richard Ellam (2-28) and Seedat (2-2) who skittled Fenwick for 66.
Fairburn 2nds slipped to a one-wicket home defeat against Garforth in Division Five.
Mark Abdy (76) and Ian Raynor (47) guided Fairburn to 187 which Garforth overhauled with the last pair at the wicket after telling contributions from Andrew Appleyard (42) and Craig Field (38).
Ken Atkinson (4-53 from 11 overs) was Fairburn's most successful bowler.
Hundhill Hall 2nds lost by 42 runs to Rossington Main 2nds in Division Seven East.
Greig Fairhurst (50) and Chris Smith (49no) guided Rossington to 191-8, despite Jack Worthington's 3-22.
Youngster Ben Westhead's 58 was in vain for Hundhill who were toppled for 149 by Iain Wormald (3-29), Nestor Paviou (3-45) and Smith (2-26).

[188.8.131.52]Deathmarked Shadow Strike Spellbreaker
Spellbreaker is my first successful build so far since patch 126.96.36.199 and now the expansion released. I want to push it forward and rebuild it again with many new upgrade items. Testing with new powerful foes.
Grimtool Link
- Current Defensive BiS setup : http://www.grimtools.com/calc/4VxA4wlZ
This is my current setup. You'll find it has more HP by sacrifice a little bit of DPS and 400 OA from my offensive. Better at survival and stable enough to beat new content.
- Old Offensive Setup : http://www.grimtools.com/calc/eVLJvkMN
This setup can beat all endgame content except new nemesis and sometimes can get burst down. With cheaper gears and not require much RNG to get specific property. It could survive on 8k HP by many mechanics I use to diminish dmg and reduced probability to get hit.
*note : it is not necessary to get all mythical or lv94 variation as i said in closing that they're not get significant buff.
Alternative Gearing
The main problems in spellbreaker who use Deathmarked set and Alkamos' Rings are
Amulet : Mythical Peerless Eyes of Beronath or Conduit of Night Whispers(prefer Acid&Poison Resistance or Bleeding Resistance and anything not Shadow Strike dmg conversion roll. BiS should be like in the grimtool) Mythical Night's Embrace is ok too.
Medal : Mythical Mark of Dark Dream
Weapon 1 : Mythical Deathmarked Decapitator
Belt : Mythical Blade Breaker Sash
Pants : Mythical Deathwhisper Leggings, Mythical Slithscales Legwraps, Spellstalker's Legwraps, Mythical Soiled Trousers, Empowered Swampdweller's Legguards(There's no Mythical version yet), Kubacabra's Chausses (with good affixes), Solael-Sect Legguards (with good affixes)
Boots : Boneshatter Treads, Mythical Serpentine Wraps, Fiendflesh Greaves. Any crafted boot with good double rare affixes
Other Suggestion for Constellation are
- Vulture
- Chariot of the Dead
- Ulo the Keeper of the Waters
- Revenant
- Amatok the spirit of Winter
My hotkeys
Left Hand control
1 : Nullification
2 : Blade Barrier
3 : Ring of Steel
4 : Oleron's Might // Major Dmg (from "Oleron's Blood" Component)
5 : Mirror of Ereoctes
Right Hand control
scroll up (9): Blade Spirit
scroll down (0): Pneumatic Burst
RMB : Amarasta's Blade Burst // Essential procs
LMB : Shadow Strike // Major Dmg
*2nd skill bar is for all auras (switch skill bar with "Y")
***Beginner Advice : Default Shortcut for HP Potion = "R", Energy Potion = "E"
Grava'thul Fight 26 sec best time
Grava'thul Fight with kiting 42 sec
Madqueen Fight 14 sec
Fabius Fight 20 sec // a little bit longer than my expectation
Crucible Gladiator Solo floor 100-150 Extra spawn
Tips on Bosses and Nemesis
Madqueen, Rashalga : Be careful to her vengeance aura. When she activate pink aura, use Nullification to remove her aura. The rest is easy
Old nemesis : Our only problem is Zantarin. Don't aggressive at him and beware his shotgun projectiles. It could burst any melee char down no matter how durable it is. Just only that. The rest of them are easy.
New Unique Boss : Still don't have any problems to all purple name boss on new expansion yet.
Grava'thul : This build cannot 100% facetank on him yet. It is possible but it depends on your luck too. He has massive dmg, debuff on grounds and auras. Most annoying ground debuff is Fumble(about 47% you'll land miss attack) and Skill disruption(Our weakness. It's like getting silenced or prevent us using skills). Careful of his projectile while kiting. The projectile could kill you even though you use Mirror or Blade Barrier. So if he shoot his projectile. run away until it disappear. If you want to facetank him better and more secure, use "Aether Cluster" after engage for few secs.
Kubacabra : Remove Maiven's buff(it is useless for fighting with Kuba), then use only Mirror and Blade Barrier to stay alive. Careful on his breath and time properly to burst his HP down fastest you could. When on 2nd and 3rd stage. Kill the one with least HP first(I knew it is confusing).
Alek : Never seen him yet. Want to try but don't know his spawn spot.
Leveling Advice
- If you have Crucible DLC, Play it with advice from This guide.
- Normal/Veteran : You can use single mastery to complete it.
Mine is using pure arcanist with TSS+PRM (I just want to try them for first time). Have only 3 death. Mostly from reckless play.
If playing pure Nightblade I'd recommend playing range with PB, Blade Trap etc or combine with low arcanist mastery.
- Elite : Stay on Elite until you're satisfy or above lv75. Try everything you don't know as a caster here. It's fun and it's so much different from after 75 that we went through this melee bursty build. Getting other feeling and experience here
- Ultimate : Caster and range is recommend below lv75 or above if don't have full gear. Going melee with unprepare and half-baked gear would make the game so damn hard.
My personal comment on new items
I understand that SS spellbreaker is already strong since old patch before the expansion. So the gears and skill might not change much or getting more buff. But I think the meta has change and there're more builds coming. As far as I test it is still cannot wreck all nemesis easily or as easy as old patch is yet. May be they're too strong or design to be hard stuff like this. Anyway I want to give you feedback about items for you to buff or reworks something to create more variation of builds.
- Mythical Deathmarked Set : Almost the same. Old was powerful, but now I'm not sure. It is pretty solid but 5 set bonus is rather weak now. 10% physical res is not help much. Deflect chance is also useless one. No ranged attack is fatal. But the projectile from skills that this mechanic don't affect is.
There should be something benefit in different scenario than or to be an alternative setup for 5 pieces or 4 pieces+Crescent Moon.
- Mythical Crescent Moon : better to + overall skill points and don't need to cast -15% cold resistance. Also it is obviously better than DM's weapon
- Mythical Chilling Grip of Hagarrad : Very insane Gloves for pierce to cold conversion
- Mythical Mark of Dark Dream : the rework is very good and make this medal more interesting.
- Conduit of Night Whispers : It skill modifier and properties are very good. It provides better and more creatives gameplay.
- Galewind Treads : The procs skill is very insane. It could freeze very well and can make the perma-freeze combo on mobs with Night's Embrace. It is good at it state but still lack of some resistance.

I remember when you first posted this; looks solid now as it did then.
Is there a reason you went coldstone over seal of the night?
Add more detail. The rest of video will be upload later within 12 hours.
I don't use the skill granted from Seal of the Night, but I use Coldstone's aura.
So coldstone gives me about +25%cold dmg and aura gives +75% cold aura dmg = +100% cold dmg. (flat cold dmg in the same case too.) = more bonus than Seal of the Night

Bonus for coldstone is that the aura add flat cold damage to both weapons.
On the other hand, seal of the night gives +3% OA
I suggest to max Shadow dance , stack it with Eel and full Deathmaker set.

Hi, just a quick question, i'm really new, what attributes do I go? Do I just put it all in Physique?
Can I level this up and effectively play it without all these legendaries? Or rather, just work my way into the build?
Nightblade WPS
Hi. Could someone please explain why the dual wield nightblades generally don't take other WPS than execute? Are belgothian's shears, amarasta's quick cut and whirling death not good or do they stack poorly or what is the reason? Thx
You may leveling your character up follow my advice. IMO playing like caster is less gear dependent. When you're ready to farm legendary find party or random join at crucible dlc.
So we won't do normal attack much(because we've fast cooldown). Skipped those WPS to spend the points else where or just put only 1 point in each WPS is fine either.

Well here's an exciting and unexpected development in the world of Boutiko! My mum's beauty therapist has decided to take on some of Boutiko's products to sell in her salon, Essentials in East Preston. Elaine has run Essentials for many years now, and built up a loyal and regular customer base, so it is a huge privilege to be able to be part of that.
It's been my long held dream to have my own shop one day, and this feels like one small and exciting step towards that. December 4th will see a late night shopping evening in East Preston, where Elaine's selection of Boutiko's products will be on show, along with some fantastic discounts on her own products and treatments.
