This week, we watched Americans elect an alleged sexual assaulter in place of a qualified woman. While the world mourned, Hillary Clinton in her concession speech gracefully encouraged young girls everywhere to follow their goals. ''To all the girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your dreams.'' Hillary said in her concession speech.
In just five short months, two South African women have made waves on social media with the pop up market: Doek On Fleek. And for those unfamiliar with the term "on Fleek" is millennial talk, meaning cool.
For years, there has been an unending battle between Nigerians and Ghanaians about who has the best jollof rice. A curious fight seeing as the tasty dish is not native to either country. This argument is one that has been dragged, tugged and tossed about on social media. The latest episode in this unending battle of the jollof was brought about by the release of a song by Sister Deborah.
Often quoted as Nigeria's answer to James Brown and Miles Davis, Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a tour de force of African music and political activism. Today the world observes Felabration in honour of the man who was a rare breed: he truly lived the meaning of his often radical words

|The 15 Black Men Shot by Cincinnati Police
Last Updated April 24, 2002
|Who is the Victim
Sympathizers with the black Cincinnati rioters have made much of the fact that the police have killed 15 black men in that city since 1995. None of these sympathizers have mentioned that 98% of the Cincinnati officers killed in the line of duty have been killed by black males during the past 30 years. Cincinnati is 48% black.
Below is a brief description of the 15 black males killed by Cincinnati police since 1995. The death of each of these young men is tragic. In fairness to the Cincinnati police, however, the circumstances of these tragedies must be adequately taken into account before judging the actions of the police. [The victim descriptions, below, are excerpted from an excellent report by Cincinnati Enquirer writers Dan Klepal and Cindi Andrews published April 15, 2001. See link near bottom of page.]
Victim 1:
Harvey Price
On Feb. 1, 1995 Harvey Price killed a 15 year old girl -- his girlfriends daughter -- with an axe; he kept police at bay for hours; he refused to surrender; and he was ultimately shot and killed by a SWAT team member when Price began advancing on the officers with a raised knife.
The officer was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Victim 2:
Darryll C. Price
Mr. Price was high on cocaine and died of respiratory arrest or an irregular heartbeat after scuffling with police. The police encounter with Mr. Price began when Price was beating on a car in traffic, threatening to shoot someone. When police attempted to intervene, a scuffle ensued in which Mr. Price received some minor cuts and abrasions.
Price was handcuffed and shackled, yet continued struggling as rescue workers attempted to administer first aid for his cuts. When he suddenly stopped moving, the rescue team began administering CPR but he died within the hour.
The medical examiners report indicated that Mr. Price suffered from a sudden death caused by "agitated delirium with restraint". The condition is usually manifested in drug abusers or the mentally ill. The autopsy revealed that the cuts and bruises Price suffered during his fight with the police did not contribute to his death.
The police officers were cleared of any wrongdoing.
3: Lorenzo Collins
Lorenzo Collins had a history of mental illness. He was threatening police with a brick, and two officers fired their weapons, hitting Collins twice. He died 5 days later.
The police officers were cleared of any wrongdoing by both the FBI and Department of Justice.
Subsequently, the Collins family filed a wrongful death lawsuit and was awarded $200,000.
4: Daniel Williams
Previous convictions: domestic violence, felonious assault.
In an unprovoked attack, Mr. Williams shot Police Officer Kathleen Conway four times in the legs and abdomen with a .357 Magnum before she was able to return the fire. She fired twice, killing him. The bizarre incident began when Williams waved down Officer Conways cruiser. When she stopped he punched her in the face through the open window, then shot her four times.
No one has offered any explanation of Mr. Williams actions. It was ruled a justifiable shooting.
Officer Conway required extended medical leave to recover from her severe injuries and has since left the police force.
5: Jermaine Lowe
Criminal history: Convicted felon; parole violator; outstanding warrant for armed robbery.
Mr. Lowe was driving a stolen car and, in attempting to evade pursuing police, crashed. At that point Lowe jumped from the car and fired repeatedly at police officers until his gun ran out of bullets. The officers fired back, killing Lowe.
The shootout occurred in the same block where two other police officers had been previously gunned down.
The officers were cleared of any wrongdoing.
6: Randy Black
Mr. Black robbed his credit union on the morning of July 17. He used a handgun in the commission of the robbery.
When police arrived on the scene, Randy Black ran. During the chase he threw a brick at police. But when cornered by the pursuing officer who attempted to place Mr. Black under arrest, Mr. Black grabbed a two-by-four with nails sticking out of the end and came at the officer with it. The officer shot him dead.
Mr. Black had ditched the handgun he used during the robbery while running from the police.
The officer was absolved of any wrongdoing.
7: Michael Carpenter
Michael Carpenter attracted the attention of police because he was driving a car with expired license plates.
When the police pulled Mr. Carpenter over, he refused to get out of the car. When Carpenter reached for the glove box the officer tried to drag him out of the car. Carpenter then allegedly drove 15 feet, dragging the officer with him.
Another officer standing behind the car then saw the backup lights come on, and he fired 9 times, killing Michael Carpenter.
One officer was exonerated of any wrongdoing by the U.S. Department of Justice, by the county prosecutor, and by the police departments internal investigation.
The other officer received a written reprimand and was ordered to take 40 hours of retraining. He has since left the force.
8: James King
Mr. James King used a gun in robbing the Fifth Third Bank. He fired a warning shot in the bank to show he meant business, and employees handed over a bag of cash to him. Mr. King fled the scene in a car with police in close pursuit.
When Mr. King reached a dead end, he jumped out of the car with the gun in his hand. Police ordered him to drop his weapon, which he refused to do. They shot and killed him.
The officers involved were cleared of any wrongdoing.
9: Carey Tompkins
Police responded to a 911 call from Carey Tompkins girlfriends apartment. On the 911 tape Mr. Tompkins can be heard shouting obscenities, and the voice of his girlfriends father can be clearly heard asking Tompkins why he brought a gun and why he pointed the gun at the woman.
When police arrived, an officer entered the apartment and was confronted by Mr. Tompkins, who had the gun in his waistband. The officer struggled with Mr. Tompkins for the gun. Carey Tompkins was shot dead during the struggle.
10: Alfred Pope
Criminal Background: 18 felony charges (including weapons and assault charges), resulting in 5 convictions.
On the day of his death, Mr. Pope and an accomplice beat and robbed three victims in an apartment building. Witnesses reported hearing shots fired.
Police responded and chased Mr. Pope who drew a gun and pointed it at police. The officers fired multiple times, killing Mr. Pope.
The officers were cleared of any wrongdoing.
11: Courtney Mathis
Know one really knows what motivated this 12 year old child to steal a relatives car, to resist arrest, to drag an officer to his death, and ultimately to be killed by the officer who died.
On this fateful evening 12 year old Courtney left his parents home and stole a relatives car. A police officer saw the boy in the car at a convenience store and asked to see his drivers license.
Courtney tried to flee by putting the car into reverse. The officer reached into the car and either tried to turn off the ignition or shift the car into neutral. The officer became caught in the steering wheel and was dragged 800 feet. Fearing for his life, the officer finally managed to shoot the boy in the chest.
The police officer died almost instantly after becoming dislodged from the car and hitting his head. 12 year old Courtney Mathis died several hours later after somehow managing to drive home.
No charges were filed against the dead officer.
12: Roger Owensby Jr.
Roger Owensby Jr. was wanted on outstanding arrest warrants. When police spotted him at a gas station they attempted to arrest Owensby, but he fled. Police tackled him, sprayed him with pepper spray or a similar product, handcuffed him, and put him in the back of the cruiser.
Mr. Owensby was found unconscious a short time later. He subsequently died of suffocation.
A grand jury indicted two of the officers involved in the Owensby case, but as of 4/15/01 the officers had not been tried or convicted in a court of law of any wrongdoing.
13: Jeffrey Irons
Jeffrey Irons grabbed a police officers gun and shot the officer in the hand when the officer tried to apprehend Irons for stealing from a supermarket.
Another officer who witnessed the incident then shot and killed Mr. Irons before he could fire again.
Mr. Irons had been staying in a homeless shelter at the time of the incident.
As of April 15, 2001 the Irons incident was still under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI.
14: Adam Wheeler
Criminal History: Twice convicted and served jail time on both occasions for possession of drugs; wanted on 3 felony warrants at the time of his death on Jan. 31, 2001.
An officer responded to a drug complaint against Adam Wheeler on Jan. 31, 2001. When the officer arrived at Wheelers apartment Mr. Wheeler slammed the door in the officers face. Wheeler reportedly screamed "You want a war? You got a war!" and then fired six shots from his gun. During the ensuing battle, police shot and killed Mr. Wheeler. One officer received non-life threatening injuries during the incident.
15: Timothy Thomas
Criminal History: Over one-dozen outstanding misdemeanor arrest warrants. Mr. Thomas had twice previously eluded police who had been attempting to take him into custody.
On April 7 two police officers saw and recognized the fugitive Mr. Thomas in one of Cincinnatis most dangerous neighborhoods. Thomas ran away, and was pursued by the officers, who called for backup. In all, twelve responding officers joined the chase for Mr. Thomas.
One of the responding officers encountered the fleeing suspect (Timothy Thomas) at the end of an alley. The officer testified that the suspect was reaching for something in his waistband, and the officer thought his life was in danger. The officer fired one shot in what he thought was self-defense, and the shot killed the fleeing suspect.
As of 4/15/01, all the evidence in this case has been sealed and is not available for public scrutiny.
The death of Timothy Thomas resulted in a week of violent protests by blacks which resulted in over one million dollars in property damage, as well as black-against-white violence against several white citizens.

Stemmed Beer Glass
Though still exotic to some who favor the traditional American ale or lager, the stemmed beer glass has experienced a surge in popularity as more businesses have looked for ways to feature flavorful taps. Designs like the tulip glass, great for dortmunders to weizenbocks, and the snifter beer glass, for dark ales and tripels, help enhance the flavor of beers by allowing them to reach the proper temperatures. They also release aroma notes as customers turn them up to drink, making the experience feel all the more special. Heftier vessels in this category, including the beer goblet and the schooner, promote head retention and offer more room for bigger gulps, which makes them great for lighter brews like the IPA and some wheat beers.

We greatly look forward to the opportunity to greet you at STATION-Berlin!
+49 (0)30 62 90 85 68
Station Berlin
STATION-Berlin is one of the most extraordinary locations in Europe. Situated at the heart of Germany's capital city, its superb accessibility, its dimensions, its technological resources as well as its architecture – which enjoys protected status as a historic landmark – collectively make this site a national and international hotspot. It is a prime destination for exhibition and convention organizers, events agencies, multinational businesses and other institutions. Indeed, the location is already a home to many established and popular events, but at the same time, it also serves as a veritable incubator for novel thinking, innovative ideas and creative concepts. Events that started here, and/or have grown with the support of STATION-Berlin, have now become flagship dates on Berlin's calendar of events. Digital society, sustainable technologies, mobility 3.0 and contemporary art are but a handful of the innumerable themes that are regularly guests in the Halls beside the many business and industry events. Flexibility, effective decision-making processes and a keen service mentality are just some of the many reasons why there are an increasing number of recurring events and event organizers who work continuously with us.
About Us
The history of STATION-Berlin begins around the same time as the birth of Thomas Mann, the great German author. The grand opening of the Dresdener Bahnhof took place on this site on June 17, 1875. The station was the starting point and destination of the new Berlin – Dresden – Berlin railway line, which was 12 kilometers shorter than the old connection. The station served trains headed to Dresden as well as the through-coaches continuing to Vienna and Prague.
Under the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the site was rededicated in 1907. Thereafter, it served as the Postbahnhof, supplying Berlin for the next 90 years with packages and goods imported from throughout the entire world. During the postwar period, when Germany was divided into East and West, the train station attained special significance: it was the end stop for one of the most important arteries that connected West Berlin to West Germany. Even today, countless structural details serve as reminders of STATION-Berlin's eventful past. These include the massive gates through which the steam locomotives chugged, the recently restored train station roof over Hall 7, and the markings on the walls, doors and floors. They all bear witness to one of the most important hubs in Germany for goods and packages.
To this day still, STATION-Berlin is a hub – a figurative hub for innovative ideas, ingenious products and incomparable events.

Kia Motors, in getting ready to bring its just formally unveiled Soul EV electric offering to market, is talking up in depth what it considers one of the key features of this car. Not something you see a lot of automotive journalists talking about, but to the automaker the advancements in the vehicle's heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) technologies seem to be a pretty big deal.
Why, might you ask, would this be something worth mentioning? It has a lot to do with the energy suck HVAC can be to an all-electric car. Kia engineers, in developing the Soul EV, determined that, in a worst case scenario, the maximum use of HVAC under extreme cold conditions could potentially reduce an electric vehicle's effective range by up to 50 percent.
To address this, Kia said in an essay which we present below, its people
"implemented four new HVAC technologies designed to reduce energy usage in the Soul EV – a highly efficient new heat pump, smart air induction control, individual ventilation (for driver only) and scheduled ventilation.
The new heat pump utilises waste heat from the air-conditioning and electrical systems to improve the energy efficiency of the HVAC system and improve the car's ability to efficiently heat up the cabin, thus minimising electricity consumption from the battery.
The system, made up of a compressor, evaporator and condenser, allows the Soul EV's HVAC system to harness the waste heat given off by electrical components. Instead of relying entirely on the electricity from the battery to heat the cabin to the driver's desired temperature, the heat pump recycles heat energy emitted by the electronics to increase the efficiency of the heating and ventilation systems.
By reducing the load on the battery, the heat pump cuts energy consumption from the HVAC system and increases the overall driving range of the Soul EV.
Working in conjunction with the heat pump, the Soul EV is also fitted with a new smart air intake control system, which monitors and controls the amount of air entering and exiting the vehicle, as well as the humidity level in the cabin.
Air intake control recycles the air that has already been heated or cooled by the HVAC system, then carefully introduces the optimum amount of fresh air to the cabin. By better controlling the air flow inside the vehicle, the HVAC system is able to cool or heat the cabin more efficiently and minimise the use of the heating or air-conditioning during a drive. The system relies on a humidity sensor, temperature control and an intake actuator to monitor and control the in-flow of fresh air to the cabin.
The Soul EV is fitted with a new individual ventilation system – the first time such technology has been introduced to any production vehicle. This reduces energy consumption by only providing ventilation and heating to the driver, completely shutting off heating and ventilation to the foot-well and dashboard ventilation on the passenger side. This is in contrast to existing vehicles on the road, in which closing the vents merely diverts hot or cold air through other vents in the car while energy consumption remains the same.
The individual ventilation system, activated using the 'driver only' button on the dashboard, minimises HVAC energy use when driving alone, resulting in a more efficient heating system and greater driving range.
A first in a Kia vehicle, the Soul EV is equipped with a new pre-conditioning or scheduled ventilation system. Accessing the car's heating system through the car's HMI interface, users can schedule their vehicle to pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin 30 minutes before they start the car.
The system works while the car is plugged in and reduces load on the battery when the Soul EV starts running. Instead, the cabin is cooled or heated using power from the electric grid, ensuring the vehicle is already at the driver's preferred temperature before departure."
To make sure this intense focus on the HVAC technology will actually mean something at the end of the day, the automaker is doing validation work on the fringe of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden. It is here, where winter temperatures can get as low as -31°F, that engineers will rigorously be able to test the performance of what they've created.

With the blazing heat of summer still upon us, it's important to consider how best to protect our furry friends from fire hazards and other common household dangers. Here's a quick list of reminders pertinent to pet owners during the summer season and all year-round.
Keep your cords and cables taut and secure
Loose cabling means that an over-excited dog or even one of its owners might misstep, snag on the cable and fall over, leading to injuries and/or property damage. Make sure all your electrical cords are secure and out of the way of curious paws.
Keep your pets inside during a thunderstorm
Loud thunder and lightning disturb many pets, and keeping your animals within the house will minimize the chance for a stray lightning bolt to strike them. Fires are another aspect of lightning strikes; the National Fire Protection Agency states that fires started by lightning peak during the summer months. Keeping your pets inside during a thunderstorm keeps them safe from potential self-injury or falling victim to a freak blaze that could lead to skin grafts and costly trips to the vet.
Use caution in the car
According to the American Humane Society, it doesn't take long for warm inside temperatures to become unbearably hot. Furthermore, lowering the windows has little effect on your car's internal temperature. If you're worried about leaving your pets at home while you're out handling errands, consider a doggy daycare service, or even a basic surveillance camera system that lets you monitor their actions remotely.
Hydrate before it's too late
Always keep your pets' water bowls filled on a regular basis. If you keep your animals outside, make sure that they have sufficient cover from the elements, be it the blazing heat of summer or the pouring rains of fall and spring.
Be mindful of over-exercising
Just like with any human, the hotter temperatures of summer mean that your dog risks overheating over a shorter period of time than in any other season. Bring some water with you when going on a jog in the park, reduce your exercise time or go exercising at a time when the sun is less high in the sky. Keeping your regular routine in the peak of summer is an unfortunate way to bring heat stroke upon your dog.
Stay out of the sun
While their natural body fur is more than enough protection from the sun's rays, we all know that dogs and cats are not completely covered. Do yourself a favor and invest in some sunscreen for pets or for humans with sensitive skin, free of canine-toxic PABA and zinc oxide, and apply it to soft regions of your pet, such as the nose, stomach, and ears.
Keep the bugs at bay
While a bug-zapper is an easy, and morbidly amusing, fix for flying vermin, you can find a variety of sprays and repellents engineered to deter disease-spreading mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
While the hot summer months might bring to mind more immediate safety concerns, pet owners should do all they can to remain vigilant throughout the year. Be your furry friend's best advocate and adhere to a few basic precautions; you'll both appreciate making fewer trips to the vet!

- Details
- Written by Garry
- Created: 17 October 2011
So waking up the morning after the first night of a show is always interesting. In my case, I've almost always stayed up into the early hours of the morning after the show, waiting for the opening night euphoria to settle down enough for me to be able to sleep. Consequently, the next day I usually wake up some time mid morning with an applause hangover and some vague confusion over the idea of turning around and doing it all again tonight.
Usually, I get woken up by my phone vibrating on my bedside table to alert me that I have sixteen text messages and five missed calls from eligible young ladies' mothers who have been to the show and wanted to say how much they enjoyed it and that they would definitely be bringing the rest of their families along for the show the following night because they'd all, on hearing their respective matriarchs' glowing revues of the show, been dying to come, live the experience for themselves, meet the cast and get lost for an hour and half or so in a little bit of theatrical magic of their own.
I say "usually," but the fact is it hasn't happened like that the last three times. Or ever, actually. But it strikes me as the sort of thing that should be happening more often.
No. what happened this time around was I woke up to discover a sagely looking mandrill had snuck into my room overnight and was nibbling on the edges of my Back to the Future poster. I threw my pillow at him to make him stop, but he simply dodged to the left, turned and blew me a raspberry, before boldly exclaiming "you follow old Rafiki! He knows the way!" I had to admit, the crazy old primate had a point, so I followed him out the window onto the front lawn where I found Oxfam Girl and Biscuit Lady having a light sabre duel, accompanied by the theme from The West Wing. It was at that moment that I realised I was a seahorse.
Okay, that one didn't really happen either.
I was woken up by my phone ringing. It actually was a young lady on the other end, but the young lady in question happened to be my sister, which took some of the excitement out of it. That is, until she said this:
"I'm just ringing to tell you… I've been cast in the lead role in an Italian version of the Sound of Music, and I'm moving to Florence to follow my…"
Stop it!
That is, until she said this:
"I'm just ringing to tell you… I'm engaged"
My typically eloquent response was the product of severe shock, recent awakening and applause hangover and basically came something like:
After some incoherent babbling I think I managed a 'congratulations' in there somewhere. But honestly, if you'd put all the previous scenarios in front of me two weeks ago and asked me to bet on the outcome, I would probably have picked the monkey one. It's strange, and possibly a little disrespectful to my sister, not to mention her fiancé, but that's where I would have put my money.
I'm not really a gambling man. Make of that what you will.

Cover Girl Advanced Radiance Cream FoundationReviewing: Cover Girl Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation | Rating:
I had not bought a CoverGirl product for several years, but I was intrigued by this foundation when it was first introduced. They call it "restorative" foundation because it is supposed to diminish the look of wrinkles and fine lines. I am young enough to not yet have wrinkles, but I often have blotchy or irritated skin. I decided the product would probably work for that, too.
When I purchased the product, it came with a free sample of Oil of Olay's Regernerist Daily Regenerating cleanser. I like free stuff, so I thought that was cool! And, it's a good product.
Anyway, back to the product review...I opened the lid of this foundation and was greeted with a lovely aroma. I don't know what it smells like, but this stuff smells great! It smells light, fresh, and airy.
The foundation glides on to the skin. It doesn't go on greasy and it doesn't look heavy at all. You don't have to use much of it to get great coverage, and it really does last all day. When I go home from work, my skin still looks great. I have gotten compliments on how great my face (not my makeup) looks.
I highly recommend this product. It smells great, it provides long lasting coverage without the greasy mess, comes in a variety of shades, and is relatively inexpensive when compared with other products.
If you're not sure what shade of foundation would look best on you, you can use CoverGirl's interactive website to find the best one: http://www.covergirl.com/registration/index.jsp?redirect_page=/products/product.jsp%3FproductId%3Dadvradiance_restorative_foundation

If jobs for architects were written like those for developers, they would read something like this:
Exciting new opportunity for a small-building architect. You must have 3-5 years experience designing buildings with GiantCorp concrete, XYZ Rebar, and BigManufacturer glass. It's essential you have extensive experience with buildings that are a single level high and with pitched roofs—none of that flat-roof crap. Must be passionate about buildings—if buildings are your hobby, not just your job, we want to talk to you.
- Bonus points for experience with buildings to be painted yellow.
- Our studio uses dark graphite pencils and we expect you do too!
- Experience designing buildings with medium-height cielings, one to five rooms, parking spaces, and backyards.
- Backyards make you tremble with joy and you spend your weekends peeking over fences into them.
Perks: Bi-weekly group outings to design museums and late nights playing tennis with the whole office.
I'm exaggerating to make a point. Of course there are significant differences between iOS developers and Ruby on Rails developers, just as there are for architects who do residential buildings versus high-rise skyscrapers.
However, the amount of project-specific components loaded into job listings for programmers is mind-boggling. Note that what's absurd about my fake job listing is that there is an emphasis on materials, not skills, and situation-dependent experience, rather than high-level and reusable concepts.
The specificity excludes candidates who would otherwise be qualified, based on choices the employer made (using XYZ Rebar) and constraints that the project demands (medium-height cielings) which might not really be so important. Bonus points are applied for things that are about style rather than skill. And on top of it, naive enthusiasm is demanded—which is just patronizing.
I'm spoofing mainly startup job listings here, of a type you often see in the Bay Area and elsewhere in the U.S., but which also appear frequently in the English language listings in Europe for jobs in places like Berlin, Barcelona and London.
Part of the confusion stems from the fact that software and web developers have to be the architect and the construction foreman and the grunts pouring concrete all at once. To build the thing is to understand the thing - comprehension is construction. So programming doesn't so easily split into neatly divided domains of design on the one hand, and execution on the other.
Despite that blurred line given the unique properties of software, it's the big-picture problem-solving skills that matter most, and following that, a cascade of experience factors in lesser degrees of importance. If an architect has used concrete, understands its load-bearing properties and so on, it doesn't matter that much what brand they're using. Likewise, programming languages aren't nearly as different from each other as German and Greek, though you would easily get that impression.
If a developer has used a dependency manager, an object-oriented language, an MVC framework, and so on, then picking up a new tool in a similar vein is not going to be particularly difficult. But it will be time-consuming and annoying, requiring an investment of time and taking on the risk that it will be a waste of precious brain space if the technology goes out of fashion.
Whose responsibility is it to take on that risk? Judging from job listings, it would seem to be entirely on the programmer, not the companies that employ them.
Why do tech companies do this? Why the rigid focus on materials?
For a start-up, using XYZ Rebar (i.e. insert software buzzword here) seems mission-critical. They're trying to get an edge on competitors, and unlike most building materials, new technologies really can be a lot more performative. Then again, also unlike brands of cement, they take a lot more time to learn to work with, and thus can slow down a project. The performance advantage of using a new material might be wiped out due to the workflow disadvantage of building a product with an immature technology.
That calculation of risk - cutting-edge tech vs. existing pool of expertise - is a gamble that the company and its owners and investors is deciding to take on (knowingly or not). It's a strategic issue that should be considered right at the outset of a project. Making that gamble on a trendy new tech stack, then finding out it's hard to source the expertise, is a problem that ultimately belongs to the company.
Inverting that responsibility and putting the expectation of ready-made experts out in the world has been going on so long it's a known trope. Just a couple weeks after Apple released the Swift programming language, I saw developers on Twitter poking fun at a job listing that asked for 'at least two years' of experience with Swift. This leads to a related problem: programmers faking it until they make it, with mixed results.
There is an alternative. Organizations can hire for problem-solving skills and communications skills, along with technical acumen (obviously) and proven learning ability - rather than acronym-soup - when collecting the people they want to execute their idea. Rather than inviting naive enthusiasm or demanding "passion," they can just treat developers like adults - with normal, human limitations and also, the ability to grow. You might as well invite developers to learn on the job and give them the resources, structure, and support to do so. Because they'll be doing it anyway. Because this learning process is the job. Even the most skilled and seasoned programmer doesn't know exactly how they will fix a specific problem until they do it.
Like architects, or other types of industrial designers, developers don't need foosball tables or extra caffiene in order to do their jobs. The big perk they need is a hospitable workplace culture that invites learning and has realistic expectations. Doing that also directly addresses the issue of programmer diversity, in which the industry welcomes more of the many different types of people who are lining up to do this work: a better set of onramps, where they can take the skills they have already and build them into the skills companies need today.

Staff from a Whitby building society really went the distance as they tackled a cycling challenge in aid of ending youth homelessness throughout the UK.
Colleagues and customers from the Yorkshire Building Society branch, on Flowergate, raised a fantastic £769 as they joined others around the UK in cycling, rowing, running and walking to raise funds for the charity.
As well as staff, family, friends and customers pedaling a static bike in the branch, Branch Manager Mark Jackson, Customer Consultant Thomas Welford, and customer Michael Leeman cycled over 70km from Whitby to the society's branch in Scarborough and back along the Cinder Track'.
Mark Jackson, manager of the Whitby branch said: "We are really grateful to everyone in Whitby who sponsored us in support of our partnership with End Youth Homelessness and helped us to raise £769.
"We are proud that we managed to go a team distance of 314km on the day.
"The money we have raised will be used to fund our rent deposit scheme, home essentials grants, and practical help for homeless young people seeking to live independently."
Nationwide, the society is attempting to travel 83,000 kilometres over their three year partnership – one kilometre for every homeless young person in the UK. The society aims to raise £750,000 over the course of the partnership to support over 700 homeless young people into their own rented homes.

text: Did I miss something? For some weeks, the charge level via our HPWC has defaulted to 60 amps because of an earlier update (downdate?) to deal with substandard HPWC fuses. But our wall unit is one of the revised ones, so I had to manually punch it up to 80 amps (after bypassing the "Are You Sure?" screen) every time. Earlier this week I plugged in and it went straight to 80 amps, as it should. There's new on-screen language that says "Settings For This Location." From this I assume those who don't have updated HPWCs will still get the 60-amp limit, but I'm not sure. I don't know exactly when this happened because our car gets swapped around in the office, but no more than a week, I'd say. Question: Is this part of a recent on-air software update? A new feature that uses GPS or somehow ID's the HPWC by serial number? Or did the vehicle finally "learn" this after repeated manual interventions to 80 amps in the same location?

Last week was the 10th death anniversary of Pakistan's greatest scientist, Abdus Salam, who received the Nobel Prize in 1979. Yet, there were no observances in his homeland, at least not official ones. That is because Pakistan no longer recognises him as a Muslim. Its hero, instead, is a man who has done more to endanger mankind through his actions than anyone else, AQ Khan.
Salam's Ahmadiyya community was declared 'non-Muslim' through a constitutional amendment passed in 1974. This fact is recorded in their passport documents so that they cannot travel to Mecca and Medina as pilgrims. Despite such persecution, Salam refused to surrender his Pakistani nationality.
Salam was a member of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, a member of the Scientific Commission of Pakistan and Chief Scientific Advisor to the President from 1961 to 1974, the year he was declared non-Muslim. Pakistan's space research agency, Suparco, was also created by him.
But when he died, he had to be buried in a private graveyard in Rabwa, the home town of his Ahmadiyya community, whose name has been changed to Chenab Nagar by a State proclamation to rid it of its Ahmadi associations.
Moreover, after his burial, the orthodox Sunni clergy went to his grave to ensure that the kalima prayer had not been recited and that no symbols of Islam were displayed on his tomb. Indeed, the local magistrate insisted that the wording on his tombstone, 'Abdus Salam the First Muslim Nobel Laureate', be changed to 'Abdus Salam the First Nobel Laureate'.
The tragedy of Salam reveals as nothing else does the furies that are riding on the back of Pakistan. The persecution of the Ahmadiyya community obviously has wide sanction, initiated as it was by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a civilian President, and intensified in the regime of his successor and persecutor, General Zia-ul Haq. The persecution of the community actually intensified at the time that Salam was awarded the Nobel.
When the faculty of Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad wanted to invite him for a lecture, the student body opposed it tooth and nail, and he was not permitted to enter the university. On the other hand, Salam received a hero's welcome in India when he visited his former maths teacher. He won many hearts in India when he placed his medal around his aged teacher's neck.
Though Punjab had never been an enthusiastic supporter of the creation of Pakistan, the highly-educated Ahmadiyya community played an important role in stabilising the State during its early years. Muhammad Zafrullah Khan, the man who so brilliantly argued Pakistan's case in the United Nations from 1947 to 1955, was an Ahmadiyya. He was appointed by Jinnah as Pakistan's first foreign minister in December 1947 and served till 1954.
Another Ahmadiyya was Lt Gen Akhtar Hussain Malik, who had planned Operation Gibraltar and Grand Slam, which began the 1965 war with India. Both are now non-personas in Pakistan.
The Ahmadiyyas in Pakistan are still under constant siege, with fundamentalist groups going out of their way to persecute them using the dreaded weapon of apostasy. But the fate of the Ahmadiyyas is now also being visited on Shias in Pakistan.
Because of their sheer number — some say 20 per cent of the country's population — and the presence of neighbouring Iran, Pakistan has not officially declared the Shias apostate. However, some clerics like Mufti Wali Hasan of Jamia Al Alomia Al Islamia, Karachi, have not hesitated to issue fatwas declaring them as 'kafirs' or unbelievers.
For the last three decades, the Shias have been at the receiving end of a great deal of violence in Pakistan, mainly in the Punjab province and the commercial capital, Karachi. In the late Eighties, a virtual civil war was created in the northern areas of J&K, when tribals from the North West Frontier Province attacked the region.
This violence has continued over the years and the Pakistani authorities have undertaken a programme of pushing in Sunni migrants to alter the sectarian balance. As recently as in 2004, several Shia workers of Suparco were killed by sectarian Sunni terrorists. These have led to a steady migration of Shia professionals — doctors, engineers and so on — from Pakistan.
With such demons around, Pakistan does not really need external enemies. Its task is obvious: to get the extremist djinn back into the bottle. To do that, it needs to make certain choices. And there are no prizes for guessing what they are.

Even Lowbaggers Need Furniture: The Changing Carbon Footprint of Your Couch
When we last checked in on Lowbagger.org, we found it an interesting contrast to our own, self-confessed, mission of appealing to "lazy, shallow, but environmentally responsible brethren." However, times may be changing, as even Lowbagger, more generally known for reports from the front line of environmental direct action and conservation initiatives, is these days also reporting on the rise in green fashion and design. Most recently, they published an interesting post on the ever-increasing focus on sustainability within the home furnishings industry:
The recent NORDEX green home designs conference in Seattle showed off some of the newest creations. Attendants ranged from major producers of furniture to small local crafts people, all vying for the attention of the well-heeled designers and decorators attending the conference. Trying to impress these dictators of style is like trying to scale the side of Mount Everest — it's almost impossible. However, a couple of these companies did turn heads and proved that yes, green design can be more than cotton- and wool-stuffed futons with batik print slipcovers. Sorry, but the days of hippy-dippy "green" decorating are over.
We sincerely hope that the Lowbagger community will not come down from the trees and surrender its banners, climbing ropes and padlocks just yet. However, we are nevertheless delighted to see that the crunchier end of the environmental movement is also recognizing the need for green design and innovation, alongside their more usual coverage such as intrepid boat trips in sewage infested waters or pontificating on the top 10 ways to kill a citizens movement. Lowbagger, we salute you.

The state law is clear. The City of Irvine's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy does not affect the use of pesticides on a private property, including home owners associations (HOA). Only properties managed by the City a covered by this policy. Some HOAs have voluntarily agreed to follow the same IPM plan as the City and some have even taken it a step further by stipulating that the HOA will not use any synthetic pesticides (including herbicides) or fertilizer on HOA managed property.
All pesticides, even those advertised as being organic, are toxic at a high enough concentration and exposure. Before using a pesticide, check to see if there is another way you can control the problem. For weeds, consider using a trimmer for edging, overseeding a lawn, hand-pulling, and using mulch in landscape beds. For insects and plant diseases, trimming off stems, washing off plants, changing the e method and amount of irrigation can reduce the impact of those problems.

Under the Bo Tree
He sat under the tree, his legs crossed in the traditional
posture— his back erect, hands folded on his lap, eyes staring at the darkness, not a muscle moving. He had been there for hours.
During the day, he had seen the patterns of light and shadows change and move over the thick carpet of grass, and the forest creatures come and go.
With unwavering attention, the sage heard the sounds flow like
an unseen river, sometimes cheerful, sometimes menacing. He
saw the rim of the sun touch the distant trees, he saw the air
grow misty, and then, without a warning ,like a tiger pouncing
on it's prey, the night swallowed the forest.
There has been awareness of these things, but it did not belong
to him. He was not the one being aware. Awareness simply was, and in awareness, all things appeared and vanished, unimpeded, blissfully. The burning pain in his legs, the weight of tired muscles pulling at his back, the thirst, the hunger were there, happening in the distance like the croaking of frogs which didn't disturb the silence. The night, the pain, the buzzing of insects happened in a clear bubble of alertness that objected to nothing.
Then, over the eastern horizon, above the blackness of the
distant trees, the darkness trembled with a touch of blue and
the morning star rose. Today, it was like no other star could ever be. It's light was love, its sweet fury, irresistible. His mind
opened under this light like a flower. And, then, the flower grew,
expanding so rapidly that it left him breathless. His mind
swallowed the night, as the night had swallowed the forest.
When the sun finally rose, it rose within. There was nothing but
himself and he was nothing. The Void breathed peacefully,
letting all things be in perfect emptiness. There was no sorrow,
no suffering, only the bliss of non-being in which everything was.

There is an oft-repeated phrase that has been bothering me for a while now. During an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC, former Vice President Al Gore said that "the debate in the scientific community is over" regarding global warming. Really? I have long had a problem with the idea of consensus being the way scientific truths are judged. All it takes — all it should take, anyway — for a commonly-held belief to be overturned is for one voice to propose a new theory that explains the facts better. Scientists don't vote on whether E=mc2 is true; they judge whether the theory best explains the data. And that theory, once it has proven useful in explaining the facts, will continue to be tested by other scientists; if it fails to explain real-life results, scientists will look for a new and better theory.
History is full of examples of the commonly-held consensus being wrong. Here's a few as listed on Wikipedia, quoting The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn:
- the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener and supported by Alexander Du Toit and Arthur Holmes but soundly rejected by most geologists until indisputable evidence and an acceptable mechanism was presented after 50 years of rejection.
- the theory of symbiogenesis presented by Lynn Margulis and initially rejected by biologists but now generally accepted.
- the theory of punctuated equilibria proposed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge which is still debated but becoming more accepted in evolutionary theory.
- the theory of prions -proteinaceous infectious particles causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathy diseases- proposed by Stanley B. Prusiner and at first rejected because pathogenicity was believed to depend on nucleic acids now widely accepted due to accumulating evidence.
- the theory of Helicobacter pylori as the cause of stomach ulcers. This theory was first postulated in 1982 by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren however it was widely rejected by the medical community believing that no bacterium could survive for long in the acidic environment of the stomach. Marshall demonstrated his findings by drinking a brew of the bacteria and consequently developing ulcers. In 2005, Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work on H. pylori
I particularly like the last one, because I remember when scientists finally started to accept the idea that stomach ulcers were produced by a bacterium rather than spicy foods.
Anyone who brings up the "scientific consensus" argument is making a logical fallacy known as "appeal to authority;" basically, the argument goes, "Global warming is real because Al Gore tells me it is real." It's the same false argument as the old parental favorite, "Because I'm the Mom, and I say so." But while these examples point out the pitfalls of consensus, they didn't point to a particular article I remembered reading a while ago about the problem of scientific consensus; that article caused me to distrust anyone who claims consensus as a valid reason to support global warming theory.
And then I found it again, and it was written by an author I hadn't suspected: Michael Crichton. I have several of his books, and they can be a fun read, but Crichton's nearly-constant pessimistic theme of "mankind can't be trusted to handle science or technology" can really grate on my nerves. However, Crichton does have an interesting view of "consensus science." He delivered a lecture, humorously titled "Aliens Cause Global Warming," at the California Institute of Technology in January of 2003. Here are two relevant sections from that lecture, regarding scientific consensus:
There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.
… I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.
Read the whole lecture. For one thing, if you do, you'll understand the link between aliens and global warming. I have a minor beef with the lecture, since Crichton makes this link at the beginning of his lecture, but he fails to reiterate the link at the end. My high school English teacher drilled into my head that a thesis paper needs to have the thesis stated at the beginning and reiterated for reinforcement at the end. But Crichton is being paid for his writing, and I am not, so what do I know?
Interestingly enough, this same lecture by Crichton was also the source for my dislike of the Drake equation about which I recently wrote. I had first heard the Drake equation in Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV series and book, back in the early '80s, but it took me until the 2000s to realize that anything multiplied by guesswork becomes a guess, and that is why I dislike the "consensus" argument on global warming. It's science multiplied by politics multiplied by guesses, and no matter how many times Al Gore may say that scientists have achieved consensus on the subject, that still ain't how science works.

Shea Emry is a seven year CFL veteran, All-Star Middle Linebacker and two time Grey Cup Champion. And he's currently tackling what could be his most momentous challenge yet – bringing awareness to the ways in which men can proactively serve and enhance their quality of life and potential.
After suffering a concussion in 2011 that put him out for the remainder of the football season, Emry found himself battling problems from the past. Negative self-talk, isolation, and an intensifying self-consciousness drew him back into the depressive state he had known as an adolescent; having been the victim of extreme bullying during his childhood. However, in early 2012, Emry was inspired to leverage his position as a professional athlete as a platform to share his story with youth, inspiring self-care and conversation concerning wellness and mental health. His mission to unmask masculinity had begun.
Since then, Shea has shared his vision of a mentally healthy lifestyle as a spokesman for many organizations, including The Canadian Men's Health Foundation, Action on Mental Illness (AMI) Quebec, Movember, The David Suzuki Foundation, and of course, Bell Let's Talk.
What made you join the Bell Let's Talk campaign?
I wanted to join the Bell Let's Talk campaign when I read a piece on Clara Hughes a couple of years ago while vacationing in Whistler. She was talking about the issues she faced while she was at the top of her sport and she mentioned that one of things that made her happy was being outdoors and hiking. I related to the story and realized that I could have a profound effect if I told my story as well. That was one of the sparks.
What advice would you give to others who are impacted by mental illness?
Own your story! It's yours and nobody has one anything like it. However severe or minor you believe your story might be, you have the right to feel whatever it is you are feeling. It's your experience. Have confidence that the people you love will support you if you put yourself out there and ask for it.
Tell us about the Wellmen Project, and why it's near and dear to your heart?
My own mental health struggles organically keep me on the front lines of this conversation and it has become a purpose of mine to redefine our society's meaning of manliness by challenging the hyper-masculine narrative that made me internalize my issues as a young boy. This silence was toxic to my psyche. The Wellmen Project is a vessel for changing this narrative into one where men can feel free to evolve as human beings that embrace vulnerability; the birthplace of joy, love, compassion, and truly enriched lives. Wellmen's Formula takes a man from a hardened and fixed mindset into a place with growth is welcomed. The result is a man that is prepared to take a journey to emotional and mental fortitude with a community of like-hearted men – a community of Wellmen.

I am still "digesting" Heli's great reflection post, especially on her discussion of the current emphasis and role of technology in learning, or the TEL (technology enhanced Learning) as one would claim. Are we focussing on the needs and expectation of learners, the learning process, the learning design or the technology or PLE/N? What would be the literacies that are critical to improved learning in this online environment and digital networks?
As the tools we use are changing from one learning space to another, I think we are going to come up with "new", emergent and novel terms, literacies, and metaphors, with one replacing the other as new tools superceded the old ones as we move on. This is apparent with the introduction of Twitters, Facebook, where we seem to communicate with a new "language" and have to adopt additional literacies in order to adapt to such social learning environment. We also appear to be morphing along in these virtual media and learning spaces with different trajectories, where some would be more focussed and feeling quite comfortable with the media spaces, whilst others might find these media spaces too distracting, overwhelming, or fascinating in their learning journeys.
Besides, it seems such media space movement are just accelerating, with a state of "flux" where most of the educators and learners would be awe to ask: "What would be the next state of art of learning tools and media available for us?" and "What are those new or novel media/digital/information/communication/technology literacies" that are required in order to communicate and learn well within those emergent media spaces?
Do we really understand the impact and implications of these tools and media space on our learning? How secure and reliable are they in our learning? How confident are the educators and learners communicating and learning in those media? Are people really critical in their conversations within those spaces? Or are people more empathetic when they start to connect more closely with each other?
As Jenny has pointed out, a familiarisation of the tools for use in the course and orientation introducing people would be really helpful for some of us who still are wayfinding in this course. This will build up the connections that are necessary at the early stage of an online course.
For Jenny, Mike, and some of us who have been around for sometime since CCK08, a light connection would be enough to spark our "passion" together. However, we might need to be aware of the digital and expertise divide that often exist in an online course. This has been discussed in our research on CCK08.
So it would be imperative to show our welcoming support to others who may be new or are still lurking in this open learning environment. This could only be achieved if each of our course members show their courtesy to others, or by giving a helping hand in using some of the tools, whenever it is needed by the networkers. It's more important to establish a conducive and warm online learning environment that people are comfortable to learn with, before we could even be "critical" in our sharing of critical thinking in the course.
Besides, critical has a "critical connotation" meaning that we would need to present our views or opinions basing on evidence, good reasoning, and be reflective and rational in our thinking.
Are there any differences between reflective thinking and critical thinking?
May be what distinguishes reflective thinking from critical thinking is that we could still consider the pragmatic while reflecting on our experience, where being critical would mean that our judgment should all be based on objective evidence, good reasoning, without personal biasing. I am still trying to figure out the nuance between reflective thinking and critical thinking.
Jenny in her post Cognition mentions about the various literacies that Howard Rheingold has highlighted here and here on 21st century media literacies. I am comfortable now in learning these literacies, and I have viewed the videos and found them very interesting. How reliable are the sources of information? Be a detective these days, as Howard mentions, when searching for information, and be focussed on our attention. Ulop mentions in his post: Perhaps then the goal of a Net-assessor (human or machine) would be to determine trusted sources. Are we able to discern such sources of information? May be we need to source such information that are also provided by the experts and authority, as cited by Carmen, and those through "collective intelligence". Are we able to conduct multi-tasks and still be able to practise critical thinking as mentioned by Howard?
However, I really don't know what the next wave of literacies would be. Take a look at Google Wave, and what its impacts are on the need of literacies. Are we still waving? Or are we still looking for the new technologies that could "integrate" all these tools into one, that makes learning much easier?
Would I be going with the flow, in media literacy? Yes!

Richard Gallant was extremely family oriented.
"He didn't want nobody to cry, he wanted everyone to celebrate and be happy."
Those were the words of Breanna Hall on Wednesday as she reflected on the wishes of her grandfather, Richard Gallant, a Second World War veteran who died the previous day at the age of 94.

Gallant lived in Hall's home in Stephenville, and she said he always made sure the people around him had a smile on their faces.
"He always put everyone else before himself," she said.
Hall said family members used to call him "King Tut" because of the way he knew how to light up a room and be the centre of attention.
"Pop was very social and loved having people around at all times," she said.
He also loved the outdoors, and up to this year would go with her dad, Peter Hall, and some of his own sons cutting wood and even hunting.
Hall said he loved his double rum and coke and that he's probably looking down on them having one now.
Richard Brinston, a Second World War veteran, said Gallant's death was a big loss for him because he always loved him and he was like family.
Brinston used to go visit Gallant a lot and, he said, Gallant would always like to see him coming to visit. He said Gallant would drop by and visit him at times, too.
"He was a great man who liked to give and help people. He treated me like a king," he said.
While Brinston and Gallant didn't serve in the war together, the two believed they likely passed each other on ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean as Gallant was coming home in 1943 and Brinston was heading over to Europe.
"We had a lot of good times together in the Legion. If there was any fun in it, we had it," he said.
Retired Col. Maurice Hynes, who knew Gallant for more than 20 years from different involvements, praised him for his great dedication to the Royal Canadian Legion and promoting veterans in school programs.
He said Gallant visited St. Thomas Aquinas School, where Hynes worked, in the early 1990s for a Remembrance Day assembly and returned every year to talk to young people.
Hynes said Gallant was president of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 35 for at least two, possibly three, terms, and served in different capacities on the executive over the years.
While Gallant was a bit humble about his experience overseas, he often talked of his work on the Ernest Harmon Air Force Base and working in the woods, Hynes said.
"He was well liked and respected by the other veterans, which shows his character," Hynes said.
"He has a supportive family that ensured he got out to Legion events."
Gallant's funeral will take place Friday at 2 p.m. from Maria Regina Parish in Port au Port.

Suburu spent some money on researching the the effectiveness of pet harnesses on the US market today. They came to the conclusion that your pets are in bigger need of safety improvements than anybody buying the 2014 Corolla. Zing!
There are many pet harness out there and it's pretty difficult to tell which one is the most effective without having the proper test equipment. I mean, you can't really do this to poor Fluffy, can you?
Luckily, the Center for Pet Safety has the right tools for the job, including lots of cute dummies who can take the abuse.
Once they are buckled up, it's time for the worst roller coaster launch ever:
After throwing enough Gs at these poor things, the experts at CPS came up with the results, and I'm afraid it's not good news.
Only one brand managed to score high enough for our best friends, and Subaru will be offering these harnesses for purchase at dealers in the near future in order to become the safest manufacturer for pet owners.
Now all you have to do is look at this, and imagine it being an STI with a very happy dog inside...

Korea has found its next global talent show sensation in 22-year-old Sung-bong Choi. The former street kid with a weeper of a story wowed the audience on "Korea's Got Talent" and went on to garner tens of millions of hits on YouTube.
Choi's story is as powerful as his baratone voice:
"I was left in the orphanage when I was 3," he told the judges at this first appearance, "and when I was 5, I ran away after being beaten by people there. I sold gum or energy drinks on the street. I had that life for about 10 years."
Before grabbing the mike, Choi said bashfully "I'm not a very good singer." Then, to everyone's surprise, a rich baratone voice came out of the small boy. The voice sounded as if it belonged to a man twice his age and build and it brought both the presenters and the audience to tears.
Though Choi allegedly spent most of his life sleeping in stairwells and public toilets, he decided he wanted to sing after seeing a performer in a nightclub where he was selling gum.
"I was fascinated by the singer who sang on the stage so sincerely," Choi said.
Choi did attend an arts school around the age of 16 and graduated in 2009. It was his only schooling.
Choi had been working as a construction worker and has said he finds it unbelievable that someone like him was able to be on a show like "Korea's Got Talent." Now, he claims to have "a reason to live."
Choi is the favorite to win "Korea's Got Talent," but even if he doesn't, one of the judges has preemptively promised to help him along with vocal training.
The finals of the show will take place on August 20.

Munsters: Lily And Her Secret Lover
by Andrew Troy Keller ([email protected])
My name is Lily Munster and I just happen to be the one woman who was lucky
enough to marry the most handsome man in the world and his name happens to
be Herman Munster, the one man who has been built in the University of
Heidelberg by Doctor Victor Frankenstein in 1815 before he had moved himself
out of Germany and over to Great Britain, where he had became adopted by the
Munsters of Munster Hall, who happen to be a noble family living in
Shroudshire, England.
Just then, for some strange reason, Herman had moved himself to Transylvania,
where we had met and married each other just in time for the both of us and
Grandpa -- who is actually my father, Sam Dracula -- to move ourselves to
America, where Herman had joined the U.S. Army and fought in World War Two.
After that and Herman had gotten himself a job at the funeral home of
Gateman, Goodbury And Graves, we had moved ourselves into this wonderful
house at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in Mockingbird Heights and it was a good
thing that we had done so because our little family has grown to include
our son, Edward Wolfgang Munster -- who we happen to call 'Eddie' -- and
our niece named Marilyn, who looks -- well -- not normal, if you know what
I mean.
Oh, and we also have three pets in our little household. They happen to be
Grandpa's pet Transylvanian bat Igor, Eddie's pet dragon Spot and this cute
little black kitty-cat that roars like a lion. We also have a raven who lives
in our cuckoo clock but all he does is just put my poor pussycat down with
insults and say 'Nevermore' whenever Herman would ask when he would finally
be able to get something right.
Anyway, getting back to Marilyn, it was on the morning of May 30th that Eddie
had just gone to play at a friend's house, Herman has gone to work, Marilyn
had gone out for a jog around the park and Grandpa has gone down to his
basement lab to hang around with Igor just in time for me to start doing work
around the house, only to have the sound of someone knocking on the front
door cause me to walk myself over to that door, open it and discover that
this young man whose looks are just as... not-so-normal... as Marilyn's had
looked at me with a small smile on his face and said, "Hi there. You must be
Marilyn's Aunt Lily. I'm Jason Hall, one of your niece's classmates at
Westbury College. And to tell you the honest truth, Marilyn is right about
you being quite the beautiful woman."
"Why thank you, Jason. I could say... the same thing about you. Would you
like to come in?" that was the question that I had asked the young college
student with dark-brown hair before I had moved myself out of the way,
allowed Jason to step into the house and asked him, "Well, Jason? What is
it that I could do for you?"
"Well, Mrs. Munster. I had just came here to see if you and your family would
want me to do some handyman stuff around this house of yours. You know, clean
out the gutters, give the entire house a fresh coat of paint, something like
that," that was the answer that Jason had given me just before I had rolled
my eyes, given that idea some thought and say, "Well, Jason. I really don't
know what my family would think about that idea. But if you want to help me
do some of the chores around here...!"
But just as I was about to say one more word to him, I had suddenly felt a
sharp pain on my neck and it had caused me to place my hand on it and say,
"Goddamn fucking shit!I hate it when this happens!" which -- in turn -- had
caused a concerned Jason to place his hands on my shoulders and say, "To tell
you the truth, Mrs. Munster. I really am glad that this had to happen to you
because now is a real good time for me to show you another thing that I'm
good at."
And after I had given that idea some thought and realized that it was not the
time for me to become way too choosy, I had allowed Jason to take me up the
stairs and into the bathroom, where we had taken all of our clothes off,
turned on the water and placed our bare-ass naked bodies inside the shower
just in time for Jason to place one of his hands on my neck and gently
massage the pain away which -- I must admit -- really had felt so very good.
But then suddenly, after he had gotten a good look at my nude body and began
stroking his stiff cock, Jason had placed both of his hands on my exposed
tits and that had caused me to turn myself quickly around and look at him
like I was about to ask, "What the fucking hell are you doing, Jason? Have
you gone out of your fucking mind?"
But as soon as I had gotten a really good look at his stone hard dick, I had
suddenly found myself pumping two of my fingers in and out of my hot, wet
pussy and carressing my own tits with the other hand before I had allowed
Jason to move himself closer, kiss me ever so deep and passionately on the
lips and start licking all over my nude body -- all the way down to my hot,
moist snatch and carressing my firm breasts.
And after I had placed my hands on his bare shoulders and said, "Aaaahhhh,
yeeeessss! That's it! Do it, Jason! Touch me! Touch me there! Suck my wet
pussy dry! Aaaahhhh!" the both of us had laid our nude bodies down on the
floor of the shower just in time for Jason to turn himself around and allow
me to start sucking on his stiff cock, causing me to realize that even
though the young man that I was in the shower with was not as tall and
handsome as Herman, I was still able to enjoy each and every minute of
experiencing pure and untamed sexual pleasure before the both of us had
finished taking our shower together and moved ourselves out of the bathroom
and into the master bedroom.
And after we had laid outselves down on the bed, Jason had placed his stone
hard dick inside my asshole and used each of his hands to carress both my hot
and steamy cunt and stiff mounds, causing me to place one of my hands on his
bare shoulder and the other hand on his bare arm and yell at the top of my
lungs, "AAAAHHHH, YES! THAT'S IT! DO IT, JASON! TOUCH ME! FUCK THE LIVING
SHIT OUT OF ME! MAKE ME WANNA CUM! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" before the three of us
had started moving ourselves harder and faster until we had came and
collapsed due to exhaustion just in time for me to place my head on his bare
chest and my hand on his bare shoulder and ask, "Say, Jason?Could you please
do me a favor and keep this whole experience that we had a secret from
Marilyn?I just don't want her to feel betrayed by her own family."
"To tell you the truth, Lily. I really don't blame you. Besides, if I'm not
mistaken, it would actually be your husband that I would have to worry about
because I do believe that we both know full well what he might do if he was
to find out about this," that was what a small-smiling Jason had said to me
before we had looked at each other, shared a small chuckle between us,
snuggled ourself up to each other and fell asleep with our naked arms in a
lover's embrace.
Just then, on the following evening, we had just finished eating our dinner
and I was about to start doing the dishes just in time for a smiling Marilyn
to walk herself to me, place her gentle hand on my shoulder and say, "I
really want to thank you, Aunt Lily. I really don't know what you did. But
I'm so glad that it had helped Jason know what type of human being you really
are," before I had turned my own small-smiling face towards Marilyn, placed
my gentle hand on her cheek and said, "Believe me, Marilyn. You have no idea
how right you are."
